Approval of Texas Motor Vehicle Rule 

Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is granting direct final 

approval of revisions submitted by the 

State of Texas that affect the Texas State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning 

Texas’ motor vehicle air pollution rules. 

Based upon the State’s submitted Texas 

clean fuel fleet (TCFF) program 

equivalency demonstration that the new 

Tier 2 and 2007 heavy-duty diesel 

vehicles and engines meet or exceed the 

LEV requirement, we are approving the 

removal of the TCFF program’s repealed 

low emission vehicle (LEV) rules and 

mobile emission reduction credit 

(MERC) rules from the Texas SIP. We 

also are approving the removal of the 

Transportation Control Measures (TCM) 

substitution repealed rules from the 

Texas SIP. We are approving as part of 

the SIP a new Texas Clean Fleet (TCF) 

program, with submitted revisions, to 

incentivize replacement of diesel 

vehicles and engines with alternatively 

fueled vehicles and engines, including 

hybrids. 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 1, 

2014 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives relevant adverse comment by 

March 3, 2014. If EPA receives such 

comment, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that this rule will 

not take effect.

emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
5288 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 21 / Friday, January 31, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

1On October 20, 2010 (75 FR 64675), EPA 

approved as part of the BPA SIP, a Texas CFFP 

Program Equivalency Demonstration. This 

demonstration showed that relying upon EPA’s 

data, beginning with the 2006 model year, Tier 2 

Light-Duty Vehicles (LDVs), Light-Duty Trucks 

(LDTs 1–4), and Medium Duty Passenger Vehicles 

(MDPVs) certified to certain Tier 2 bin standards, 

to be equivalent to or more stringent than the CFFP 

program LEV emission standards. In addition, 

Texas demonstrated that Tier 2 LDVs, LDTs 1–4, 

and MDPVs certified to other Tier 2 bin standards, 

are equivalent to or more stringent than the CFFP 

program LEV emission standards. Texas performed 

a similar analysis, showing that standards for 2006 

and later model years for Otto cycle and diesel 

heavy-duty vehicles ranging from 8501–14,000 

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating are more stringent 

than the CFFP program LEV emissions standards for 

these vehicles. 

2The State has confirmed that it never submitted 

the original Light-duty Motor Vehicle Purchase or 

Lease Incentive Program for approval into the SIP. 

This Program was never relied upon for any SIP 

credits or to meet any CAA requirement. Because 

this Program is not part of the SIP and has never 

been relied upon, the submitted repeal of a 

brochure requirement for this Program clearly was 

an inadvertent error by the State. 

III. Final Action 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

This action covers four separate 

submittals by the State of Texas. These 

include the State’s repeal of its TCFF 

LEV rules (May 15, 2006); repeal of the 

TCFF MERC rules, and TCM 

substitution rule (July 25, 2007); new 

Texas Clean Fleet (TCF) rules (March 

25, 2010); and revisions to the new TCF 

rules (April 13, 2012). These revisions 

address Title 30 of the Texas 

Administrative Code, Chapter 114 

(denoted as 30 TAC 114), which 

provides for Control of Air Pollution 

from Motor Vehicles in Texas. 

Repeal of the TCFF Low-Emission 

Vehicle Rules. Texas adopted LEV fleet 

rules to meet, in part, the federal Clean 

Fuel Fleet program (CFFP) 

requirements. The federal CFFP 

requirement is contained in the Clean 

Air Act (CAA), as amended November 

15, 1990. The CAA requires certain 

States to adopt and submit to EPA SIP 

revisions containing a CFFP for 

nonattainment areas with 1980 

populations greater than 250,000 that 

are classified as serious or worse for 

ozone, or which have a design value of 

at least 16.0 ppm for carbon monoxide 

(CO). Section 182(c)(4) of the CAA, 42 

U.S.C. 7511a(c)(4), allows States to optout of the federal CFFP by submitting, 

for EPA approval, a SIP revision 

consisting of a substitute program 

resulting in as much or greater long term 

emissions reductions in ozoneproducing and toxic air emissions as the 

federal CFFP. In Texas, four 1-hour 

ozone nonattainment areas were 

classified as serious and above and were 

required to implement a CFFP: the 

Houston/Galveston/Brazoria Severe 1- 

hour ozone nonattainment area; the 

Dallas/Fort Worth Serious 1-hour ozone 

nonattainment area; the El Paso Serious 

1-hour ozone nonattainment area; and 

the Beaumont/Port Arthur Serious area 

that has been found to meet the 1-hour 

ozone standard and redesignated to 

attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard 1. 

For the Houston, Dallas, and El Paso 

areas, Texas complied with the federal 

CFFP requirement by opting to 

implement a substitute program. We 

approved a substitute program for these 

three areas as part of the Texas SIP on 

February 7, 2001 (66 FR 9203). The 

SIP’s substitute program covers transit, 

local government and private fleets. It 

requires transit fleets to ensure that at 

least 50% of their fleet vehicles are 

certified to meet or exceed the LEV 

standards. In addition, local government 

and private fleets after September 1, 

1998, have to ensure that certain 

percentages of their vehicle purchases 

be certified by EPA as LEVs. To make 

up the shortfall in emissions, the SIP 

relies upon excess emission reductions 

from state mandated reductions of VOC 

from transfer operations at gasoline 

terminals in nonattainment areas, and 

NOX reductions from electric generating 

facilities. In this submittal, Texas has 

submitted its repeal of the LEV fleet 

portion of the TCFF program 

accompanied by an equivalency 

demonstration. The remaining 

substitute program emission reductions 

remain in place in state law and in the 

Texas SIP. 

Motor Vehicle Emission Reduction 

Credit Rules, and Transportation 

Control Measures Substitution Rules. 

The July 25, 2007 submittal contains 

revisions to 30 TAC 114: Control of Air 

Pollution from Motor Vehicles in three 

specific areas: Repeal of the TCM 

substitution program; repeal of the 

MERC program portion of the TCFF 

program and associated fund and 

definitions; and repeal of the Light-duty 

Motor Vehicle Purchase or Lease 

Incentive Program Vehicle Emissions 

Information Brochure requirement for 

manufacturers rule (§ 114.618). The 

State of Texas accidentally submitted 

this brochure repeal since this particular 

Program is not part of the SIP; 

consequently, we are returning it to the 

State.2

Repeal of the TCM substitution 

program. Regulations to implement the 

Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 

Users (SAFETEA–LU) (January 24, 2008, 

73 FR 4420) added a provision to the 

CAA to allow states to substitute or add 

TCMs into approved SIPs without the 

standard SIP revision process. Thus, 

states are no longer required to include 

a TCM substitution mechanism in their 

SIPs. The submitted revision includes 

the repeal of 30 TAC 114.270(f): The 

TCM substitution program. 

Repeal of the TCFF MERC program. 

The TCFF MERC program was approved 

into the SIP as an element of the TCFF 

program on February 7, 2001 (66 FR 

9203). The TCFF MERC program is 

unrelated and separate from the Mobile 

Emission Reduction Credit Generation 

and Certification program found in 30 

TAC 101.304 which regulates MERCs 

that are generated under the state’s 

banking and trading program. 

In 2005, the Texas Legislature enacted 

Senate Bill (SB) 1032, which repealed 

the TCFF program but for the VOC rules 

governing transfer operations at gasoline 

terminals and the NOX rules governing 

electric generating facilities. With the 

repeal of the TCFF program, the TCFF 

MERC program, the TCFF MERC fund, 

and associated definitions are no longer 

relevant. These repealed rules are found 

in the SIP rules at Chapter 114, 

Subchapter A—Definitions, and 

Subchapter F—Vehicle Retirement and 

Mobile Emission Reduction Credits; 

Division 1: Mobile Emission Reduction 

Credits. 

New Texas Clean Fleet (TCF) Rules 

and Revisions. On March 25, 2010, the 

TCEQ submitted revisions to 30 TAC 

114: Control of Air Pollution from Motor 

Vehicles, establishing a new, voluntary 

state grant program called the Texas 

Clean Fleet (TCF) Program. The 

revisions implement SB 1759, adopted 

by the 81st Legislature (2009, Regular 

Session) which created the TCF 

program. This program is designed to 

encourage eligible entities to replace onroad diesel-powered vehicles with 

vehicles powered by fuels other than 

gasoline or diesel. The TCF Program 

provides incentives to owners of large 

fleets in Texas to replace on-road dieselpowered vehicles with alternative fuel 

vehicles including hybrids. The TCF is 

a program under the umbrella of the 

Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP), 

which provides financial incentives to 

eligible individuals, businesses or local 

governments to reduce emissions from 

polluting vehicles and equipment. 

The April 13, 2012 submittal makes 

revisions to the TCF program, including, 

but not limited to, the eligibility criteria 

and disposition of the replaced vehicles. 

II. Analysis of the State’s Submittals 

For a detailed analysis of these 

submittals, see the Technical Support 

Document that accompanies this action.

oms/stateresources/transconf/policy/

420b09002.pdf. The document ID number is EPA– 

420–B–09–002, January 2009. 

The TSD may be accessed online at 

http://www.regulations.gov, Docket No. 

EPA–R06–OAR–2006–0885. 

The LEV rules portion of the TCFF 

program was repealed by the state and 

in the submittal requesting removal of 

these LEV rules from the SIP, the State 

demonstrates federal emission standards 

now are more stringent than the 

emission standards for low emission 

vehicles (LEV) established under the 

TCFF program. We can approve the 

removal of the TCFF program’s 

associated repealed LEV rules from the 

Texas SIP because the submitted 

equivalency demonstration shows the 

new Tier 2 and 2007 heavy-duty diesel 

vehicles and engines meet or exceed the 

LEV requirement. See the TSD for 

further technical information about the 

equivalency demonstration. In addition, 

the State continues to meet the CAA 

requirement for a CFF program by 

retaining the emission reductions from 

stationary sources for NOX and VOCs 

from the substitute program that more 

than cover all emission requirements for 

the entire TCFF program. The TCFF 

repealed MERC program, its MERC 

fund, and associated definitions, which 

also are in the SIP, are intertwined with 

the SIP’s TCFF Program. The part D SIPs 

for the Texas ozone nonattainment areas 

did not rely upon any emissions 

reductions credits from the TCFF 

program and its associated MERC 

program in the attainment 

demonstrations or to meet reasonable 

further progress. We are approving the 

removal of the TCFF Program’s repealed 

LEV rules and the TCFF Program’s 

associated repealed rules for the MERC 

program, fund, and definitions from the 

Texas SIP. The repealed rules that are 

removed from the SIP are 30 TAC 114.4, 

and 30 TAC 114.201 and 114.202. 

The EPA revised the transportation 

conformity rule (40 CFR parts 51 and 

93) on January 24, 2008, to address the 

transportation conformity-related CAA 

amendments made by SAFETEA–LU (73 

FR 4420). In addition to amendments to 

the transportation conformity 

provisions, the SAFETEA–LU added a 

provision to the CAA that allows states 

to substitute or add TCMs into approved 

SIPs without the standard SIP revision 

process; see section 176(c)(8) of the Act 

and 40 CFR 93.101. Under this Clean 

Air Act provision, states are no longer 

required to include a TCM substitution 

mechanism in their SIPs in order to 

expedite the process for making TCM 

substitutions. The provision also 

provides a streamlined process for 

adding TCMs to an approved SIP. EPA 

determined that it was not necessary to 

promulgate regulations in order to 

successfully implement the TCM 

substitution and additional statutory 

provision (73 FR 4420, 4432). See EPA’s 

Guidance for Implementing the Clean 

Air Act Section 176(c)(8) Transportation 

Control Measure Substitution and 

Addition Provision.3 We agree with the 

state that the change to the CAA 

requirements made by the SAFETEA– 

LU in 2008 renders a state TCM 

substitution program unnecessary. 

Therefore, we are approving the removal 

of the Texas repealed TCM substitution 

Program and its associated repealed 

rules from the Texas SIP. Texas now 

will rely solely on the federal statute for 

future actions. The repealed rule that is 

removed from the SIP is 30 TAC 

114.270(f). 

Because the submitted TCF program 

is a voluntary financial incentive 

program encouraging the replacement of 

large fleets of on-road diesel power 

engines with vehicles using fuels other 

than gasoline or diesel, to evaluate it, 

we used the EPA Guidance: Improving 

Air Quality with Economic Incentive 

Programs (EIP). An EIP achieves an air 

quality objective by providing marketbased incentives or information to 

emission sources. Three fundamental 

principles apply to all approvable 

economic incentive programs: integrity, 

equity, and environmental benefit. Our 

analysis showed that the provisions of 

this new, voluntary incentive program, 

and the subsequent revisions, meet the 

three fundamental principles for an 

acceptable incentive program, and 

provide a framework for achieving 

emission reductions. See the TSD for 

the further analysis. If TCEQ includes 

emission reductions from this program 

in future attainment or RFP SIPs, EPA 

will evaluate the amount of reductions 

it achieves at that time. We are 

approving the TCF Program and its 

associated revisions as part of the Texas 

SIP. The rules being approved into the 

SIP are 30 TAC 114.650–114.658. 

III. Final Action 

Pursuant to section 110 of the Act, 

EPA is approving four revisions to the 

Texas SIP that were submitted on May 

15, 2006; July 25, 2007 (but omitting 

revision to § 114.618 which was 

submitted accidentally and is being 

returned to the state); March 25, 2010; 

and April 13, 2012. We evaluated the 

State’s submittals and determined that 

they meet the applicable requirements 

of the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 110 

and applicable EPA guidance. Approval 

of these submittals will not result in any 

increase in ozone concentrations. In 

accordance with CAA section 110(l), 

these revisions will not interfere with 

attainment of the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS), reasonable 

further progress, or any other applicable 

requirement of the CAA. EPA is 

approving the removal of the TCFF 

program’s LEV and MERC rules from the 

Texas SIP. EPA also is approving the 

removal of the TCM substitution rules 

from the Texas SIP. Finally, EPA is 

approving into the Texas SIP, the new 

TCF program and revisions. 

EPA is publishing this rule without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a non-controversial 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 

SIP revision if relevant adverse 

comments are received. This rule will 

be effective on April 1, 2014 without 

further notice unless we receive adverse 

comment by March 3, 2014. If we 

receive adverse comments, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the rule will not take effect. We will 

address all public comments in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. We will not institute a 

second comment period on this action. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

must do so now. Please note that if we 

receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

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 choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
5290 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 21 / Friday, January 31, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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 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). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. section 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 

the Federal 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 Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by April 1, 2014. 

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).)

(NAAQS). This action makes no 

substantive changes to the SIP and 

imposes no new requirements. 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

April 1, 2014, unless EPA receives 

adverse comments by March 3, 2014. If 

adverse comments are received, EPA 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule in the Federal Register, 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect.
