Abstract: The National Listing of Fish 

Advisories (NLFA) database contains 

information on the number of advisories 

issued by each state, territory, or tribe 

annually. The advisory information 

collected identifies the waterbody under 

advisory, the fish or shellfish species 

and size ranges included in the 

advisory, the chemical contaminants 

and residue levels causing the advisory 

to be issued, the waterbody type (river, 

lake, estuary, coastal waters), and the 

target populations to whom the advisory 

is directed. This information is collected 

under the authority of section 104 of the 

Clean Water Act, which provides for the 

collection of information to be used to 

protect human health and the 

environment. The results of the survey 

are shared with states, territories, tribes, 

other federal agencies, and the general 

public through the NLFA database and 

the distribution of biennial fish advisory 

fact sheets. The responses to the survey 

are voluntary and the information 

requested is part of the state public 

record associated with the advisories. 

No confidential business information is 

requested. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/Affected entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are Administrators of Public 

Health and Environmental Quality 

Programs in state and tribal 

governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary (Clean Water Act, Section 

104). 

Estimated number of respondents: 92 

total. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 1,884 labor 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $73,116 (per 

year), which includes $607 annualized 

operation & maintenance costs. No 

capital or startup costs are required. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1,452 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to a change 

in program requirements (i.e., the 

elimination of the State Fish Advisory 

Program Questionnaire).

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The California Air Resources 

Board (CARB) has notified the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

that it adopted amendments to 

California’s Portable Diesel-Fueled 

Engines Air Toxics Control Measure 

(Portable Engine ATCM) in 2007, 2009, 

and 2010. By letter dated September 15, 

2014, CARB asked that EPA authorize 

these amendments pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). CARB 

requested EPA’s confirmation that the 

amendments are within the scope of a 

prior authorization, or, in the 

alternative, that the amendments merit 

full authorization. This notice 

announces that EPA has tentatively 

scheduled a public hearing to consider 

California’s request, and that EPA is 

now accepting written comment on the 

request. 

DATES: EPA has tentatively scheduled a 

public hearing concerning CARB’s 

request on January 14, 2015 at 10 a.m. 

ET. EPA will hold a hearing only if any 

party notifies EPA by December 15, 

2014 to express interest in presenting 

the Agency with oral testimony. Parties 

that wish to present oral testimony at 

the public hearing should provide 

written notice to David Read at the 

email address noted below. If EPA 

receives a request for a public hearing, 

that hearing will be held at the William 

Jefferson Clinton Building (North), 

Room 5530 at 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC 20460. If EPA 

does not receive a request for a public 

hearing, then EPA will not hold a 

hearing, and will instead consider 

CARB’s request based on written 

submissions to the docket. Any party 

may submit written comments until 

February 16, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. California’s Portable Engine ATCM 

Regulations 

California initially adopted its 

Portable Engine ATCM regulations on 

February 26, 2004 as part of a broad 

California program to reduce emissions 

of diesel particulate matter. The 

Portable Engine ATCM regulations 

applied to in-use, portable, off-road 1

diesel-fueled engines rated 50 brake 

horsepower (bhp) and greater. These 

engines were required to be certified to 

certain emission standards by January 1, 

2010, unless the engines were 

designated as low-use engines or as 

engines exclusively used in emergency 

applications. The initial Portable Engine 

ATCM became operative under state law 

on March 11, 2005 2 and EPA authorized 

the regulations on November 29, 2012.3

As authorized, the Portable Engine 

ATCM regulations require subject 

engines to meet specified emission 

standards, and require fleets of in-use 

diesel-fueled portable engines to meet 

fleet-average standards for diesel PM 

emissions that become increasingly 

more stringent in 2013, 2017, and 2020. 

II. The 2007 Amendments 

CARB adopted the 2007 amendments 

at issue in this notice on July 31, 2007, 

and they became effective on September 

12, 2007. The 2007 amendments were 

designed to extend temporary, 

emergency provisions CARB had 

adopted to address the inability of 

owners and operators to permit or 

register older engines that did not 

satisfy the Portable Engine ATCM 

certification requirement to meet the 

most stringent Federal or California 

emission standards. The 2007 

amendments addressed this issue by (i) 

granting discretion to local air districts 

to permit or register uncertified portable 

engines that were operated in California 

within a designated time period prior to 

October 1, 2006, or that were low-use 

engines or used exclusively in 

emergency applications, (ii) allowing 

Tier 1 and Tier 2 engines that were in 

operation within a designated time 

period prior to October 1, 2006, but did 

not meet the most stringent emission 

requirements, to be permitted or 

registered until December 31, 2009, and 

(iii) and otherwise providing additional 

compliance flexibility. 

III. The 2009 Amendments 

In 2008, CARB adopted an In-Use OffRoad regulation 4 and a Truck and Bus 

regulation.5 CARB then amended the 

Portable Engine ATCM to exempt 

certain engines (namely, secondary 

engines on two-engine cranes and twoengine sweepers, and on lattice boom 

cranes) that instead became subject to 

these other new regulations. CARB 

formally adopted the amendments to the 

Portable Engine ATCM on October 19, 

2009 (the 2009 amendments). 

IV. The 2010 Amendments 

California formally approved the 2010 

amendments to the Portable Engine 

ATCM on October 19, 2010 and January 

20, 2011. The 2010 amendments became 

operative under State law on February 

19, 2011. The 2010 amendments 

primarily provide additional 

exemptions (namely for snow removal 

vehicles and auxiliary engines on water 

well drilling rigs) and compliance 

flexibility for certain owners and 

operators of portable engines, as well as 

clarification or correction of perceived 

oversights in the law.

6EPA’s review of California regulations under 

section 209 is not a broad review of the 

reasonableness of the regulations or its 

compatibility with all other laws. Sections 209(b) 

and 209(e) of the Clean Air Act limit EPA’s 

authority to deny California requests for waivers 

and authorizations to the three criteria listed 

therein. As a result, EPA has consistently refrained 

from denying California’s requests for waivers and 

authorizations based on any other criteria. In 

instances where the U.S. Court of Appeals has 

reviewed EPA decisions declining to deny waiver 

requests based on criteria not found in section 

209(b), the Court has upheld and agreed with EPA’s 

determination. See Motor and Equipment 

Manufacturers Ass’n v. Nichols, 142 F.3d 449, 462– 

63, 466–67 (D.C. Cir.1998), Motor and Equipment 

Manufacturers Ass’n v. EPA, 627 F.2d 1095, 1111, 

1114–20 (D.C. Cir. 1979). See also 78 FR 58090, 

58120 (September 20, 2013). 

7 59 FR 36969 (July 20, 1994). 

8 62 FR 67733 (December 30, 1997). The 

applicable regulations, now in 40 CFR part 1074, 

subpart B, § 1074.105, provide: 

(a) The Administrator will grant the authorization 

if California determines that its standards will be, 

in the aggregate, at least as protective of public 

health and welfare as otherwise applicable Federal 

standards. 

(b) The authorization will not be granted if the 

Administrator finds that any of the following are 

true: 

(1) California’s determination is arbitrary and 

capricious. 

(2) California does not need such standards to 

meet compelling and extraordinary conditions. 

(3) The California standards and accompanying 

enforcement procedures are not consistent with 

section 209 of the Act. 

(c) In considering any request to authorize 

California to adopt or enforce standards or other 

requirements relating to the control of emissions 

from new nonroad spark-ignition engines smaller 

than 50 horsepower, the Administrator will give 

appropriate consideration to safety factors 

(including the potential increased risk of burn or 

fire) associated with compliance with the California 

standard.

11See 78 FR 38970, 38972 (June 28, 2013). 

By letter dated September 15, 2014, 

CARB submitted a request to EPA 

pursuant to section 209(e) of the CAA 

for confirmation that the 2007, 2009, 

and 2010 amendments fall within the 

scope of EPA’s previous authorization, 

or, in the alternative, that EPA grant a 

full authorization for those 

amendments. 

V. Clean Air Act Nonroad Engine and 

Vehicle Authorizations 

Section 209(e)(1) of the CAA prohibits 

States and local governments from 

adopting or attempting to enforce any 

standard or requirement relating to the 

control of emissions from new nonroad 

vehicles or engines. The Act also 

preempts States from adopting and 

enforcing standards and other 

requirements related to the control of 

emissions from non-new nonroad 

engines or vehicles. Section 209(e)(2), 

however, requires the Administrator, 

after notice and opportunity for public 

hearing, to authorize California to adopt 

and enforce standards and other 

requirements related to the control of 

emissions from non-new nonroad 

engines or vehicles. Section 209(e)(2), 

however, requires the Administrator, 

after notice and opportunity for public 

hearing, to authorize California to adopt 

and enforce standards and other 

requirements relating to the control of 

emissions from such vehicles or engines 

if California determines that California 

standards will be, in the aggregate, at 

least as protective of public health and 

welfare as applicable Federal standards. 

However, EPA shall not grant such 

authorization if it finds that (1) the 

determination of California is arbitrary 

and capricious; (2) California does not 

need such California standards to meet 

compelling and extraordinary 

conditions; or (3) California standards 

and accompanying enforcement 

procedures are not consistent with CAA 

section 209.6 In addition, other states 

with air quality attainment plans may 

adopt and enforce such regulations if 

the standards and the implementation 

and enforcement procedures are 

identical to California’s standards. On 

July 20, 1994, EPA promulgated a rule 

that sets forth, among other things, 

regulations providing the criteria, as 

found in section 209(e)(2), which EPA 

must consider before granting any 

California authorization request for new 

nonroad engine or vehicle emission 

standards.7 EPA revised these 

regulations in 1997.8 As stated in the 

preamble to the 1994 rule, EPA has 

historically interpreted the section 

209(e)(2)(iii) ‘‘consistency’’ inquiry to 

require, at minimum, that California 

standards and enforcement procedures 

be consistent with section 209(a), 

section 209(e)(1), and section 

209(b)(1)(C) (as EPA has interpreted that 

subsection in the context of section 

209(b) motor vehicle waivers).9

In order to be consistent with section 

209(a), California’s nonroad standards 

and enforcement procedures must not 

apply to new motor vehicles or new 

motor vehicle engines. To be consistent 

with section 209(e)(1), California’s 

nonroad standards and enforcement 

procedures must not attempt to regulate 

engine categories that are permanently 

preempted from state regulation. To 

determine consistency with section 

209(b)(1)(C), EPA typically reviews 

nonroad authorization requests under 

the same ‘‘consistency’’ criteria that are 

applied to motor vehicle waiver 

requests. Pursuant to section 

209(b)(1)(C), the Administrator shall not 

grant California a motor vehicle waiver 

if she finds that California ‘‘standards 

and accompanying enforcement 

procedures are not consistent with 

section 202(a)’’ of the Act. Previous 

decisions granting waivers and 

authorizations have noted that state 

standards and enforcement procedures 

are inconsistent with section 202(a) if: 

(1) There is inadequate lead time to 

permit the development of the necessary 

technology giving appropriate 

consideration to the cost of compliance 

within that time, or (2) the Federal and 

State testing procedures impose 

inconsistent certification 

requirements.10

If California amends regulations that 

EPA has already authorized, California 

can seek EPA confirmation that the 

amendments are within the scope of the 

previous authorization. A within-thescope confirmation, without a full 

authorization review, is permissible if 

three conditions are met.11 First, the 

amended regulations must not 

undermine California’s determination 

that its standards, in the aggregate, are 

as protective of public health and 

welfare as applicable Federal standards. 

Second, the amended regulations must 

not affect consistency with section 

202(a) of the Act. Third, the amended 

regulations must not raise any ‘‘new 

issues’’ affecting EPA’s prior 

authorizations. 

VI. EPA’s Request for Comments 

As stated above, EPA is offering the 

opportunity for a public hearing, and is 

requesting written comment on issues 

relevant to a within-the-scope analysis. 

Specifically, we request comment on 

whether California’s 2007, 2009, or 2010 

Portable Engine ATCM amendments: (1) 

Undermine California’s previous 

determination that its standards, in the 

aggregate, are at least as protective of 

public health and welfare as comparable 

Federal standards; (2) affect the 

consistency of California’s requirements 

with section 209 of the Act; or (3) raise 

any other new issues affecting EPA’s 

previous authorization determinations. 

Should any party believe that the 

amendments are not within the scope of 

the previous authorization, EPA also 

requests comment on whether the 2007, 

2009, or 2010 Portable Engine ATCM 

amendments meet the criteria for a full 

authorization. Specifically, we request 

comment on: (a) Whether CARB’s 

determination that its standards, in the 

aggregate, are at least as protective of 

public health and welfare as applicable 

Federal standards is arbitrary and 

capricious; (b) whether California needs 

such standards to meet compelling and 

extraordinary conditions; and (c) 

whether California’s standards and 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 2014 / Notices 69465 

accompanying enforcement procedures 

are consistent with section 209 of the 

Act. 

VII. Procedures for Public Participation 

If a hearing is held, the Agency will 

make a verbatim record of the 

proceedings. Interested parties may 

arrange with the reporter at the hearing 

to obtain a copy of the transcript at their 

own expense. Regardless of whether a 

public hearing is held, EPA will keep 

the record open until February 16, 2015. 

Upon expiration of the comment period, 

the Administrator will render a decision 

on CARB’s request based on the record 

from the public hearing, if any, all 

relevant written submissions, and other 

information that she deems pertinent. 

All information will be available for 

inspection at the EPA Air Docket No. 

EPA–HQ–OAR–2014–0798. 

Persons with comments containing 

proprietary information must 

distinguish such information from other 

comments to the greatest extent possible 

and label it as ‘‘Confidential Business 

Information’’ (‘‘CBI’’). If a person 

making comments wants EPA to base its 

decision on a submission labeled as CBI, 

then a non-confidential version of the 

document that summarizes the key data 

or information should be submitted to 

the public docket. To ensure that 

proprietary information is not 

inadvertently placed in the public 

docket, submissions containing such 

information should be sent directly to 

the contact person listed above and not 

to the public docket. Information 

covered by a claim of confidentiality 

will be disclosed by EPA only to the 

extent allowed, and according to the 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

If no claim of confidentiality 

accompanies the submission when EPA 

receives it, EPA will make it available 

to the public without further notice to 

the person making comments.

party notifies EPA by December 15, 

2014 to express interest in presenting 

the Agency with oral testimony. Parties 

wishing to present oral testimony at the 

public hearing should provide written 

notice to Brenton Williams at the email

request for a public hearing, that hearing 

will be held at the William Jefferson

receive a request for a public hearing, 

then EPA will not hold a hearing, and

based on written submissions to the 

docket. Any party may submit written 

comments until February 16, 2015.
