Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 118 / Friday, June 19, 2015 / Proposed Rules 35297 

chemical compounds on the list of 

compounds excluded from the 

definition of VOC, as found in EPA rule 

at 40 CFR 51.100(s), on the basis that 

each of these compounds makes a 

negligible contribution to tropospheric 

ozone formation. These compounds 

consist of four hydrofluoropolyethers 

(HFPEs) which are identified as 

HCF2OCF2H (also known as HFE–134), 

HCF2OCF2OCF2H (also known as HFE– 

236cal2), HCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H (also 

known as HFE–338pcc13), and 

HCF2OCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H (also 

known as H-Galden 1040X or H-Galden 

ZT 130 (or 150 or 180)). If an entity uses 

or produces any of these four HFPE 

compounds (these being in the family of 

products known by the trade name HGalden) and is subject to the EPA 

regulations limiting the use of VOC in 

a product, limiting the VOC emissions 

from a facility, or otherwise controlling 

the use of VOC for purposes related to 

attaining the ozone national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS), then the 

compound will not be counted as a VOC 

in determining whether these regulatory 

obligations have been met. 

This EPA rule, Air Quality: Revision 

to Definition of Volatile Organic 

Compounds—Exclusion of a Group of 

Four Hydrofluoropolyethers (HFPEs), 

was finalized on February 12, 2013 (78 

FR 9823). EPA proposes to approve this 

SIP revision. 

Finally, the August 29, 2014 submittal 

updates the version of the CFR 

incorporated by reference into the rules 

of the State of Utah to reflect that 40 

CFR 60.56c(d)(2) of subpart Ec was 

removed from federal regulation (78 FR 

28052). That provision previously 

excluded Hospital Medical Infectious 

Waste Incinerators (HMIWI) units from 

having to comply with standards during 

periods of Startup Shutdown 

Malfunction (SSM) provided that no 

hospital waste or medical/infectious 

waste was being charged to the unit 

during those SSM periods. That 

provision was removed from federal 

regulation on May 13, 2013 (78 FR 

28052). EPA proposes to approve this 

SIP revision. 

III. What action is EPA taking today? 

EPA is proposing to approve the SIP 

revisions submitted by Utah on January 

28, 2010, September 16, 2010, June 18, 

2013 and August 29, 2014. We are 

proposing to approve the January 28, 

2010 revisions to R307–405–2, with 

exception to the proposed change to the 

incorporation by reference date, and 

proposing to approve all of the revisions 

to R307–102. We are proposing to 

approve the June 18, 2013 SIP revisions, 

with the exception of the nonsubstantive change to re-number R307– 

410–5(1)[(d)] to R307–410–5(1)(c)(i)(C). 

The August 29, 2014 submittal’s newly 

amended rule supersedes and replaces 

all previous versions of submittals of 

R307–101–3, General Requirements, 

Version of Code of Federal Regulations 

Incorporated by Reference. EPA 

proposes to approve the August 29, 

2014 revisions. Previous submittals 

were received on January 28, 2010, 

September 16, 2010, April 26, 2012 and 

November 4, 2013. No further EPA 

action is required on these earlier 

submittals. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is proposing to 

include in a final EPA rule regulatory 

text that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

the Utah Division of Air Quality rules 

regarding rules, general requirements, 

and test methods discussed in section II, 

Analysis of the State Submittals, of this 

preamble. The EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, these documents 

generally available electronically 

through www.regulations.gov and/or in 

hard copy at the appropriate EPA office 

(see the ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble for more information). 

V. Statutory and Executive Orders 

Review 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

federal regulations 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 

CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

state actions, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

Accordingly, this proposed action 

merely approves some state law as 

meeting federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact in a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 

and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where EPA or an Indian tribe 

has demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

35298 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 118 / Friday, June 19, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

ACTION: Extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued a notice in the 

Federal Register of May 29, 2015, 

concerning EPA’s Proposal to Mitigate 

Exposure to Bees from Acutely Toxic 

Pesticide Products. This document 

extends the comment period for 30 

days, from June 29, 2015 to July 29, 

2015. Multiple stakeholders requested

due to the complexity and importance 

of this issue. EPA is granting the 

extension. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

document published on May 29, 2015 

(80 FR 30644), is extended. Comments, 

identified by docket identification (ID) 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2014–0818 must 

be received on or before July 29, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES

in the Federal Register document of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document extends the public comment 

period established in the Federal 

Register document of May 29, 2015 (80 

FR 30644) (FRL–9927–36). In that 

document, EPA is seeking comment on 

a proposal to adopt mandatory pesticide 

label restrictions to protect managed 

bees under contract pollination services 

from foliar applications of pesticides 

that are acutely toxic to bees on a 

contact exposure basis. These label 

restrictions would prohibit applications 

of pesticide products, which are acutely 

toxic to bees, during bloom when bees 

are known to be present under contract. 

EPA is also seeking comment on a 

proposal to rely on efforts made by 

states and tribes to reduce pesticide 

exposures through development of 

locally-based measures, specifically 

through managed pollinator protection 

plans. These plans would include local 

and customizable mitigation measures 

to address certain scenarios that can 

result in exposure to pollinators. EPA 

intends to monitor the success of these 

plans in deciding whether further label 

restrictions are warranted. EPA is 

hereby extending the comment period, 

which was set to end on June 29, 2015, 

to July 29, 2015. 

To submit comments, or access the 

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES

in the Federal Register document of 

May 29, 2015. If you have questions, 

consult the person listed under FOR
