does not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that may 

disproportionately affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

12. Energy Effects 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under Executive Order 

13211, Actions Concerning Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have determined that this action is one 

of a category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves the 

establishment of a safety zone and, 

therefore it is categorically excluded 

from further review under paragraph 

34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the Commandant 

Instruction. An environmental analysis 

checklist supporting this determination 

and a Categorical Exclusion 

Determination are available in the 

docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or 

information that may lead to the 

discovery of a significant environmental 

impact from this rule.

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving a revision to 

the Alcoa Best Available Retrofit 

Technology (BART) averaging time for 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) in the Indiana 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). On 

July 23, 2014, the Indiana Department of 

Environmental Management (IDEM) 

submitted to EPA a revision to the daily 

NOX emissions limits, changing from a 

rolling 24-hour average to a 24-hour 

daily average. IDEM provided a 

statistical analysis showing that no 

significant increase in emissions will 

occur as a result of this change. EPA is 

approving this SIP revision because it 

will not interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

October 19, 2015, unless EPA receives 

adverse comments by September 21, 

2015. If adverse comments are received,

rmajette on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES
50580 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 161 / Thursday, August 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

1EPA finalized a limited approval of revisions to 

the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submitted by the Indiana Department of 

Environmental Management (IDEM) on January 14, 

2011, and March 10, 2011, addressing regional haze 

for the first implementation period that ends 2018. 

This action was in accordance with the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA’s 

rules for states to prevent and remedy future and 

existing anthropogenic impairment of visibility in 

mandatory Class I areas through a regional haze 

program. As part of this action, EPA approved 

limits for the Alcoa facility that EPA finds satisfy 

the requirements for best available retrofit 

technology (BART).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. This supplementary information 

section is arranged as follows: 

I. Alternate Averaging Calculation 

II. What action is EPA taking? 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Alternate Averaging Calculation 

Background for Alcoa BART NOX

Emission Limits and Calculations 

On June 11, 2012, EPA approved 

BART NOX emission limits and 

compliance requirements for Alcoa into 

the Indiana SIP to meet Regional Haze 

requirements (77 FR 34218).1 The rule, 

326 IAC 26–2–2, sets emission limits, 

which include averaging times, for 

Alcoa’s Warrick Power Station located 

in Newburgh, Indiana. 

For the original Regional Haze SIP, 

IDEM submitted an engineering analysis 

for the rulemaking that included 

recommended BART limits for 

particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide 

(SO2) and NOX. For Alcoa’s Warrick 

Plant Boilers 2 and 3, the averaging time 

for the NOX limit was a 24-hour rolling 

average. IDEM revised the rule 326 IAC 

26–2–2 on March 12, 2014, with an 

effective date of June 29, 2014 to change 

the NOX averaging time for Boilers 2 

and 3 to be 24-hour daily averages 

rather than 24-hour rolling averages, in 

order to be consistent with other 

pollutant averaging times. 

On March 12, 2014, the Indiana 

Environmental Rules Board approved 

these rule changes in accordance with 

the provisions of Title 13 of the Indiana 

Code. On November 20, 2013, IDEM 

provided a public notice and comment 

on the SIP revision in the Indiana 

Register. There were no requests for a 

public hearing, and no public comments 

were received. 

Analysis of Revision 

EPA’s approval is based on whether 

the rule revision meets the requirements 

of section 110(l) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA), 42 U.S.C. 4202(l). In particular, 

EPA considered whether the changes 

made to the compliance averaging times 

for Boilers 2 and 3 would allow for 

higher overall emissions of NOX on an 

hourly basis while still meeting the 

emission limits. IDEM submitted to EPA 

a supplemental analysis showing the 

maximum difference between the two 

calculation methods. 

IDEM’s analysis compared the two 

averaging times using the Warrick Plant 

continuous emissions monitor (CEM) 

data for NOX from August 2013, the 

month with the highest NOX emissions. 

This data and analysis can be found in 

the docket. Using this data, IDEM 

calculated both 24-hour rolling and 24- 

hour daily averages for the NOX

emissions, and then calculated the 

difference between each 24-hour period. 

The maximum calculated difference in 

emissions between the two methods was 

0.01 pounds per million BTU (lbs/

mmBTU), which EPA determined not to 

be statistically significant using a paired 

t-test analysis. EPA also evaluated air 

quality monitoring data for nitrogen 

dioxide (NO2), as well as fine particulate 

(PM2.5) and ozone, since NOX is a 

precursor for both. Current design 

values (2012–2014) for the NO2 1-hour 

standard (100 ppb), ozone (75 ppb) and 

PM2.5 standards (12 mg/m3 for the 

annual and 35 mg/m3 for the 24-hour 

standard) for the area all show 

attainment of the standards at 35 ppb, 

72 ppb, and 10.9 and 25 mg/m3, 

respectively. See EPA’s Web site on 

design values at http://www.epa.gov/

airtrends/values.html. EPA has 

determined that the area will maintain 

the standards because ambient levels are 

currently below the NAAQS and 

continue to decline. A potential 

emissions increase of 0.01 lbs/mmBTU 

is not likely to cause a violation of the 

NAAQS, therefore noninterference has 

been demonstrated. 

The Indiana SIP revision is therefore 

approvable because the revision meets 

the requirements under 110(l), given 

that the area is attaining all applicable 

NAAQS, and that the revision will not 

impact the ability to maintain the 

NAAQS. 

II. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is approving a revision to the 

Alcoa BART averaging times for the 

Warrick Plant Boilers 2 and 3 (326 lAC 

26–2–2(2)(C)(i)), from 24-hour rolling 

average to 24-hour daily average. EPA’s 

review and analysis has determined the 

revision will not interfere with 

attainment or maintenance of the 

NAAQS, as prescribed by section 110(l) 

of the CAA. 


rmajette on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 161 / Thursday, August 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 50581 

We are publishing this action without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a noncontroversial amendment and 

anticipate no adverse comments. 

However, in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register publication, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

state plan amendment if relevant 

adverse written comments are filed. 

This rule will be effective October 19, 

2015 without further notice unless we 

receive relevant adverse written 

comments by September 21, 2015. If we 

receive such comments, we will 

withdraw this action before the effective 

date by publishing a subsequent 

document that will withdraw the final 

action. All public comments received 

will then be addressed in a subsequent 

final rule based on the proposed action. 

The EPA will not institute a second 

comment period. Any parties interested 

in commenting on this action should do 

so at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. If we do not receive 

any comments, this action will be 

effective October 19, 2015. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of the Indiana Regulations 

described in the amendments to 40 CFR 

part 52 set forth below. 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). 

IV. 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. 

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. 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 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• 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 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 CAA; 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). 

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 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). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

theFederal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

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 October 19, 2015. 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. Parties with 

objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in 

response to the parallel notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this action 

published in the proposed rules section 

of today’s Federal Register, rather than 

file an immediate petition for judicial 

review of this direct final rule, so that 

EPA can withdraw this direct final rule 

and address the comment in the 

proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions 

submitted by the State of Montana on 

March 17, 2010, August 1, 2011, 

November 22, 2011, and September 19, 

2014. The revisions are to the 

Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) 

and include minor editorial and 

grammatical changes, updates to 

citations and references to federal and 

state laws and regulations, revisions to 

open burning rules, changes to the 

process for appealing air quality 

permits, and providing a process for 

revocation of air quality permits when 

owners cannot be found by mail. Also 

in this action, EPA is correcting final 

rules pertaining to Montana’s SIP. On 

January 29, 2010, EPA took direct final 

action to approve SIP revisions as 

submitted by the State of Montana on 

January 16, 2009 and May 4, 2009. EPA 

subsequently discovered an error in our 

January 29, 2010 direct final action 

related to ‘‘incorporation by reference’’ 

(IBR) materials and the associated 

regulatory text numbering. EPA is 

correcting this error with today’s action. 

Finally, EPA is updating the Montana 

nonregulatory provisions table to add 

carbon monoxide maintenance plans for 

Billings, Montana, and Great Falls, 

Montana approved by EPA on March 30, 

2015 and April 1, 2015, respectively. 

This action is being taken under section 

110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

DATES: This rule is effective on 

September 21, 2015.
