I. Background Information Regarding Colorado's Submittal

On July 31, 2002, the State of Colorado submitted a formal revision to its SIP. The July 31, 2002 revision deleted obsolete provisions in Sections II.A.6, A.7, A.9 and C.3' regarding, respectively, alfalfa dehydrating plant drum dryers, wigwam burners, the static firing ofPershing missiles and a notice regarding waste materials. The provisions were deleted from the regulation because these sources no longer exist in the State and the notice regarding waste materials appears in other Colorado regulations.

Colorado added language to its open burning provisions (Section II.C.2.d) to clarify that the open burning ofanimal parts and carcasses are not exempt from permit requirements. However, a special allowance to conduct open burning activities without a permit isprovided where the State Agricultural Commission declares a publichealth emergency ora contagious or infectious outbreak ofdisease thatimperils livestock isevident. Such activities

1Allreferences inthis noticeto particular section numbers are to the designated sections within Regulation 1. require atelephone notice to State and local health departments prior to conducting such open burning activities. Allnecessary safeguards must be used to minimize impacts on public health or welfare.

The State revised the method in Section III.A.1.d for calculating emissions from multiple fuel burning units ducting to a common stack. Emissions are tobe calculated on a pound per million Britishthermal unit (lbs/mmBtu)input and mustbe based

on aweighted average ofthe individual allowable limits for each unit.

The State added clarifying language in several provisions ofRegulation 1 stating that alternative performance test methods may be used with approval from the State. It also specified that ASTM or equivalent methods approved by the State may be used for fuel sampling from sources subject to Regulation 1.

In sections VI A.3.e. andVI.B.4.g. regarding S02 emissions, the State changed the overall emission limit for petroleum and oil shale refineries from 0.3 lbs perbarrel ofoilprocessed per day to0.7 lbsper barrel ofoil processed
per day. The State also added new language that modifies the method for calculating compliance with emission limits for petroleum refining and
cement manufacturing. The State deleted Section VI.B.5, which stipulates that new sources of S02 emissions that do not fall in specific source categories

are subject to a 2tonper day emission limit and are toutilize best available control technology.

II. Response to Comments

EPA did not receive comments on our July 21, 2010 Federal Register proposed actionregarding the partial approval andpartial disapproval ofColorado's SIP revisions to their Regulation 1.

III. Section 110(1) ofthe CAA

Section 110(1) ofthe Clean Air Act
states that a SIP revision cannot be approved ifthe revision wouldinterfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress toward attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) or any other applicable requirement ofthe Act. Those portions ofthe revision to Colorado's Regulation 1that we are approving satisfy section 110(1), because those portions do not relax existing SIP requirements. Instead, the portions of the July 31, 2002 submittal EPA is

approving increase stringency of existing requirements, clarify existing requirements, or remove obsolete requirements. Therefore, section 110(1) is satisfied.

IV. Final Action

EPA is approving revisions to the following provisions in Regulation 1: (1) Deletion ofSections II.A.6, II.A.7, and II.A.9 regarding emission limits for

sources thatno longer exist inthe State andthe deletion of Section II.C.3 regarding an obsolete notice involving the disposal ofwaste materials. The deletion ofSections II. A6,A.7 andA.9 will cause a numbering change of subsequent paragraphs within Sections II.A. EPA is adopting the new numbering scheme for section II.A.; (2) revisions to Section II.C.2.d. regarding the burning ofdiseased animal carcasses to prevent a public health emergency; (3)revision ofSection III.A.i.d involving the State's method for calculating emissions from multiple fuel burning units ducted to a common stack; (4) the deletion ofSection III.C.2 regarding the deletion ofprocess weight emission standards for alfalfa drum dryers. The deletion of Section III.C.2 will cause a numbering change of subsequent paragraphs within Section III.C. EPA is adopting the new numbering scheme for section III.C.; (5) Federal adoption of Section V regarding emission standards for electric arc furnaces, except for a portion ofSection V.A.2 where the State has specified that their director has discretion to approve other credible methods for determining emission rates; and (6) revisions to Sections VI.A.3.e, VI.A.3.f, VI.B.4.e, and VI.B.4.g.(ii) regarding the methods used for the averaging ofemissions over a 24 hour period.

EPA isdisapproving revisions to the following provisions in Regulation 1: (1) Revisions to Section III.A.2. and Section III.C.3 involving director's discretion regarding the method for conducting performance tests; (2)therevision within Section V.A.2. where the State gives its director's discretion regarding the method used to determine compliance with electric arc furnaces' emission standards; (3)revisions to Sections VI.B.4.e and VI.B.4.g(ii) regarding changes in the SO2emission limits for petroleum and oil shale refining; (4) revisions to Section VI.B.5 regarding SO2emission limits for new

sources not falling in specified source categories; and (5)revisions to Sections VI.C. and VI.F. regarding the use of director's discretion for alternative methods to show compliance with fuel sampling plans and alternative compliance procedures respectively. V. Statutoryand Executive Order Reviews

Under the Clean Air Act,the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions ofthe Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus,in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role isto approve State choices, provided that they meet the criteria ofthe Clean AirAct. Accordingly, this action merely
approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. Forthatreason, this action:

* Is not a "significant regulatory action" subject to reviewby the Office ofManagement and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);

* Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions ofthe Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 etseq.);

* Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5U.S.C. 601 etseq.);

* 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 actionbased on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);

* Is not a significant regulatory action subject toExecutive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);

* Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) ofthe National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note)because application ofthose 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, andEPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law.

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 etseq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides thatbefore a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rulemust submita rule report, which includes a copy ofthe rule, to each House ofthe Congress and to the Comptroller General ofthe United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House ofRepresentatives, and the Comptroller General ofthe United Statesprior to publication ofthe rule in the Federal Register. A majorrule
cannot take effectuntil 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a "major rule" as defined by 5U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) ofthe Clean Air Act, petitions forjudicial review of this action must be filed inthe United States Court ofAppeals for the appropriate circuit by March 28, 2011. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator ofthis final rule does
not affect the finality ofthis action for the purposes ofjudicial review nor does it extend the timewithin which a petition forjudicial review maybe filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness ofsuch rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

### Federal Register/Vol. 76, No. 17/Wednesday, January 26, 2011/Rules and Regulations

(115) OnJuly 31, 2003, the State of Colorado submitted revisions to Colorado's 5CCR 1001-3, Regulation 1, that deleted Sections II.A.6, A.7, A.9 and C.3, regarding, respectively, alfalfa dehydrating plant drum dryers, wigwam burners, the static firing ofPershing missiles and a notice regarding waste materials. The State also deleted emission limitations for alfalfa plant drum dyers by removing Section III.C.2. Colorado's deletion of Sections II. A6, A.7 and A.9 and Section III.C.2 will

cause a numbering change of subsequent paragraphs within Sections II.A and III.C. EPA is adopting the new numbering scheme for sections II.A. and III C. Section II.C.2.d. regarding agricultural openburning is modified to include the burning ofdiseased animal

carcasses toprevent a public health emergency. Section III.A.i.d is modified for incorporation ofnew State's method for calculating emissions from multiple fuel burning units ducted to a common stack. Section V is added regarding emission standards for electric arc furnaces, except for the director's discretion provision provided for in Section V.A.2. Sections VI.A.3.e, VI.A.3.f, VI.B.4.e, and VI.B.4.g(ii) are modified regarding the methods used for the averaging ofemissions over a 24 hour period. (i) Incorporation by reference.
