to the public interest (5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B)). There is good cause to 

waive rulemaking here as unnecessary. 

Rulemaking is ‘‘unnecessary’’ in those 

situations in which ‘‘the administrative 

rule is a routine determination, 

insignificant in nature and impact, and 

inconsequential to the industry and to 

the public.’’ Utility Solid Waste 

Activities Group v. EPA, 236 F.3d 749, 

755 (D.C. Cir. 2001), quoting U.S. 

Department of Justice, Attorney 

General’s Manual on the Administrative 

Procedure Act 31 (1947) and South 

Carolina v. Block, 558 F. Supp. 1004, 

1016 (D.S.C. 1983). The regulatory 

changes in this document are necessary 

to correct technical errors and do not 

establish any new substantive rules and 

do not make substantive changes to 

these regulations. Therefore, the 

Department has determined that 

publication of a proposed rule is 

unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). 

The APA generally requires that 

regulations be published at least 30 days 

before their effective date, unless the 

agency has good cause to implement its 

regulations sooner (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). 

As previously stated, because the 

regulatory changes correct errors, there 

is good cause to waive the delayed 

effective date in the APA and make the 

corrections effective September 30, 

2024.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the Florida Department of 

Environmental Protection (FDEP) on 

October 12, 2022. EPA is approving 

changes allowing the option for 

aerospace parts and products coating 

operations in Florida to comply with 

Federal National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

requirements in lieu of the volatile 

organic compound (VOC) standards in 

Florida’s Surface Coating of 

Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products 

(MMPP) rule (hereinafter referred to as 

FL MMPP Rule) in the Florida SIP. EPA 

has determined that the changes 

included in Florida’s October 12, 2022, 

submission are consistent with the 

applicable provisions of the Clean Air

2On November 6, 1991, EPA designated and 

classified the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-W. Palm 

Beach Area (i.e., Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach 

Counties) as moderate nonattainment for the 1979 

1-hour ozone NAAQS; the Jacksonville Area (i.e., 

Duval County) as transitional nonattainment; the 

Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Area (i.e., 

Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties) as marginal 

nonattainment; and Orange County as attainment. 

See 56 FR 56694. Among the requirements 

applicable to nonattainment areas for the 1-hour 

ozone NAAQS was the requirement to amend the 

SIPs for areas to satisfy the requirements of section 

183 of the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

EPA is approving changes to the 

Florida SIP submitted by the State on 

October 12, 2022. The changes address 

the FL MMPP Rule—Rule 62–296.513, 

Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal 

Parts and Products, which provides 

specific reasonably available control 

technology (RACT) requirements for 

sources in Broward, Duval, 

Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange, 

Palm Beach, or Pinellas Counties that 

apply surface coatings to any number of 

metal parts and products, to limit their 

VOC emission rates, including surface 

coating at aerospace manufacturing 

operations.1 However, sources are 

exempt from this rule if they emit no 

more than 15 pounds in any one day 

and no more than three pounds in any 

one hour. The FL MMPP Rule was 

incorporated into the Florida SIP to 

address the RACT requirements for 

areas that were designated 

nonattainment for the 1979 1-hour 

ozone standard.2 EPA redesignated 

these areas to attainment in 1995.3

Through a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) published on July 

30, 2024 (89 FR 61055), EPA proposed 

to approve changes to the State’s MMPP 

Rule, which revises the SIP to provide 

that aerospace parts and products 

coating operations classified as area 

sources of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAPs) may, in lieu of complying with 

the VOC requirements of the FL MMPP 

Rule, instead comply with specified 

elements of EPA’s NESHAP for 

Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework 

Facilities at 40 CFR part 63, subpart GG 

(Aerospace NESHAP). Major sources of 

HAPs, which are required to comply 

with the Aerospace NESHAP, would 

also be exempt from the FL MMPP Rule. 

In this rulemaking, EPA is finalizing its 

approval of Florida’s October 12, 2022, 

request to incorporate the changes to the 

FL MMPP Rule into the Florida SIP. 

EPA’s rationale for approving the 

changes is described in the July 30, 

2024, NPRM. Comments on the July 30, 

2024, NPRM were due on or before 

August 29, 2024. EPA received three 

sets of comments on the NPRM. EPA 

received two sets of substantively 

identical comments from the same 

commenter. These comments are 

addressed below and are available in the 

docket for this action. The third set of 

comments is not relevant to this action 

and is excluded from the docket. 

II. Response to Comments 

EPA received two substantively 

identical sets of comments on the July 

30, 2024, NPRM from Clean Future 

(Commenter). EPA has summarized and 

responded to the comments below: 

Comments: The Commenter supports 

EPA’s action and suggests that ‘‘the EPA 

offer a thorough analysis of the 

anticipated decreases in VOC emissions 

as a consequence of these adjustments.’’ 

The Commenter goes on to ‘‘urge the 

EPA to make certain that the revised SIP 

offers sufficient assistance to impacted 

industries and contains explicit 

guidelines for compliance.’’ Lastly, the 

Commenter ‘‘recommend[s] that the 

EPA establish a mechanism for periodic 

review and adjustment of the 

regulations to incorporate new 

developments and address any 

unforeseen challenges.’’ 

Response: EPA appreciates the 

Commenter’s support for this action. 

Due to the general nature of the 

Commenter’s requests and suggestions, 

EPA is only able to provide general 

responses. 

The scope of EPA’s review in 

evaluating SIP revisions is limited to the 

process in CAA section 110 and EPA’s 

implementing regulations codified at 40 

CFR part 51. Under CAA section 110, 

States have broad discretion to choose 

the mix of emission limitations and 

other control measures, means, or 

techniques that they will implement (or 

update) through a SIP to provide for 

attainment and maintenance of national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). 

EPA’s role, with respect to a SIP 

revision, is focused on reviewing the 

submission to determine whether it 

meets the minimum criteria of the CAA. 

These minimum criteria include CAA 

section 110(l) which prohibits EPA from 

approving a SIP revision that would 

interfere with any applicable 

requirement concerning attainment and 

reasonable further progress (as defined 

in section 171), or any other applicable 

requirement of the Act. Where a SIP 

revision meets the minimum CAA 

criteria, EPA must approve the 

submission. When approving a SIP 

revision, the Agency is not establishing 

its own requirements for the State to 

implement. If, at any time, EPA finds 

that a SIP is inadequate to attain or 

maintain the relevant NAAQS or 

otherwise does not comply with the 

CAA, EPA has the authority under CAA 

section 110(k)(5) to require the State to 

revise its SIP to correct such 

inadequacies. 

Regarding the suggestion that EPA 

provide a thorough analysis of 

anticipated decreases in VOC emission 

associated with this SIP revision, EPA 

discussed the potential changes in VOC 

emissions in the NPRM, and the 

Commenter has not pointed to any 

specific concerns with EPA’s analysis of 

VOC emissions. In the NPRM, EPA 

noted that the SIP revision would allow 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 188 / Friday, September 27, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 79149 

4See https://www.epa.gov/air-trends/air-qualitydesign-values. 

5There are six NAAQS established to protect 

human health and the environment. These NAAQS 

are carbon monoxide (CO), lead, nitrogen dioxide 

(NO2), ozone, particulate matter (PM)—including 

PM2.5 and PM10, and sulfur dioxide (SO2). EPA does 

not believe that there would be any changes in 

emissions of CO, lead, NO2, or SO2 from this change 

to the FL SIP. 

6On November 6, 1991, EPA designated and 

classified the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-W. Palm 

Beach Area (i.e., Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach 

Counties) as moderate nonattainment for the 1979 

1-hour ozone NAAQS; the Jacksonville Area (i.e., 

Duval County) as transitional nonattainment; the 

Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Area (i.e., 

Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties) as marginal 

nonattainment; and Orange County as attainment. 

See 56 FR 56694. Among the requirements 

applicable to nonattainment areas for the 1-hour 

ozone NAAQS was the requirement to amend the 

SIPs for areas to satisfy the requirements of section 

183 of the CAA. 7See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). 

some sources to apply coatings with a 

higher VOC content, which has the 

potential to increase VOC emissions. 

However, EPA also noted that with all 

counties in Florida attaining the 1997, 

2008, and 2015 ozone, as well as the 

2006 and 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, and 

anticipated to attain the 2024 PM2.5

NAAQS based on 2021–2023 

monitoring data,4 it is unlikely that any 

de minimis increase in the potential to 

emit VOCs from aerospace coating 

operations facilities would impact any 

NAAQS.5 Thus, EPA has concluded that 

this SIP revision is consistent with the 

CAA and its implementing regulations 

and would not interfere with any 

applicable requirement concerning 

attainment and reasonable further 

progress (as defined in section 171), or 

any other applicable requirement of the 

Act. 

EPA initially incorporated the FL 

MMPP Rule into the SIP as part of 

Florida’s measures to attain and 

maintain the NAAQS.6 The SIP revision 

does not impose new requirements on 

the covered coating operations, but 

rather adds an exemption from an 

existing SIP requirement for sources that 

comply with the established standards 

of the Aerospace NESHAP. Given the 

limited nature of this SIP revision and 

EPA’s role in reviewing SIP revisions 

discussed above, the Commenter’s 

suggestion that the revised SIP provide 

industry assistance and contain explicit 

guidelines for compliance, as well as the 

Commenter’s recommendation the EPA 

establish a mechanism for periodic 

review and adjustment of regulations to 

incorporate new developments and 

unforeseen challenges are beyond the 

scope of EPA’s review. Regarding the 

Commenter’s recommendation to 

establish a mechanism for periodic 

review and adjustment of regulations to 

incorporate new developments and 

challenges, EPA reiterates that it has the 

authority to issue a SIP call under CAA 

section 110(k)(5) if, at any time, it finds 

the SIP to be inadequate to attain or 

maintain the relevant NAAQS or 

otherwise does not comply with the 

CAA. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this document, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with the requirements of 1 

CFR 51.5, and as discussed in Sections 

I and II of this preamble, EPA is 

finalizing the incorporation by reference 

of Florida Rule 62–296.513, F.A.C., 

Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal 

Parts and Products, State effective on 

June 16, 2022. EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, these materials 

generally available through 

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region 4 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the ‘‘For Further 

Information Contact’’ section of this 

preamble for more information). 

Therefore, these materials have been 

approved by EPA for inclusion in the 

State implementation plan, have been 

incorporated by reference by EPA into 

that plan, are fully federally enforceable 

under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA 

as of the effective date of the final 

rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and will 

be incorporated by reference in the next 

update to the SIP compilation.7

IV. Final Action 

EPA is approving the October 12, 

2022, Florida SIP revision consisting of 

amendments to Rule 62–296.513, 

F.A.C., Surface Coating of 

Miscellaneous Metal Parts and 

Products, in the Florida SIP. EPA has 

evaluated Florida’s October 12, 2022, 

SIP revision, and determined that the 

changes will not interfere with any 

applicable requirement concerning 

attainment or any other applicable 

requirement of the CAA. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve State choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 

21879, April 11, 2023); 

• 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 on 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 subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 

because it approves a State program; 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); and 

• 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 CAA. 

In addition, 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 rulemaking 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). 

Executive Order 12898 (Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994) directs Federal 

agencies to identify and address 

‘‘disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects’’ 

of their actions on communities with 

environmental justice (EJ) to the greatest 

extent practicable and permitted by law. 

EPA defines EJ as ‘‘the fair treatment 

and meaningful involvement of all 

people regardless of race, color, national 

origin, or income with respect to the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies.’’ EPA further 

defines the term fair treatment to mean 

that ‘‘no group of people should bear a 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
79150 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 188 / Friday, September 27, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

disproportionate burden of 

environmental harms and risks, 

including those resulting from the 

negative environmental consequences of 

industrial, governmental, and 

commercial operations or programs and 

policies.’’ 

The FDEP did not evaluate EJ 

considerations as part of its SIP 

submittal; the CAA and applicable 

implementing regulations neither 

prohibit nor require such an evaluation. 

EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and 

did not consider EJ in this action. 

Consideration of EJ is not required as 

part of this action, and there is no 

information in the record inconsistent 

with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of 

achieving environmental justice for 

communities with EJ concerns. 

This action is subject to the 

Congressional Review Act, and EPA will 

submit a rule report to each House of 

the Congress and to the Comptroller 

General of the United States. This action 

is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by November 26, 2024. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)
