2850 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 13 / Wednesday, January 21, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

NOX sources in the HGB area on April 

2, 2013 (78 FR 19599). Also, see 40 CFR 

52. 2270(e). 

Taken together, we are proposing to 

find Texas has RACT-level controls in 

place for all affected VOC and NOX

sources in the HGB and DFW areas 

under the 1997 8-Hour ozone standard. 

III. Proposed Action 

We are proposing to approve rule 

revisions to sections 30 TAC chapter 

115.422, 115.427, 115.429, 115.430, 

115.432, 115.433, 115.435, 115.436, and 

115.439 implementing controls on the 

source categories of Table 1 of this 

action. 

We are proposing to approve new 

sections 30 TAC chapter 115.431, 

115.450, 115.451, 115.453–115.455, 

115.458–115.461, 115.463–115.465, 

115.468–115.471, 115.473–115.475, 

115.478, and 115.479 implementing 

controls on the source categories of 

Table 1 of this action. 

We are proposing to approve repeal of 

section 30 TAC chapter 115.437. 

We are proposing to find that for VOC 

CTG categories identified in Table 1 

Texas has RACT-level controls in place 

for the HGB and DFW areas under the 

1997 8-Hour ozone standard. 

We are proposing to find that Texas 

has RACT-level controls in place for the 

Flexographic and Rotogravure Printing 

operations for the HGB area. 

We are proposing to approve the 

negative declarations as explained in 

section II(C) of this action. 

We are proposing to approve NOX

RACT for the DFW area under the 1997 

8-Hour ozone standard. 

In consideration of the rule revisions 

proposed for approval in this action, as 

well as the rule revisions previously 

approved, taken together, we are 

proposing that with its rules in 30 TAC 

Chapters 115, and 117 Texas is 

implementing RACT for all affected 

VOC and NOX sources in the HGB and 

DFW areas under the 1997 8-Hour ozone 

standard. 

We are proposing to approve these 

revisions in accordance with sections 

110, 182, and 183 of the federal CAA. 

The EPA had previously approved 

RACT for all affected NOX sources for 

the HGB area under the 1997 8-Hour 

ozone standard. 

The EPA had previously approved 

RACT for all affected VOC and NOX

sources into Texas’ SIP under the 1- 

Hour ozone standard. 

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. If a portion of the 

plan revision meets all the applicable 

requirements of this chapter and Federal 

regulations, the Administrator may 

approve the plan revision in part. 42 

U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, 

in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices that meet 

the criteria of the Act, and to disapprove 

state choices that do not meet the 

criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this 

proposed action approves state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed 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 

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; 

• 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); and 

• 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 as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will it impose substantial 

direct costs on tribal governments or 

preempt tribal law.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plan; State of 

Colorado; Second Ten-Year PM10

Maintenance Plan for Steamboat 

Springs 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of 

the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revisions submitted by the State of 

Colorado. On May 11, 2012, the 

designee of the Governor of Colorado 

submitted to EPA a revised maintenance 

plan for the Steamboat Springs area for 

the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) for particulate 

matter with an aerodynamic diameter 

less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10). 

The SIP was adopted by the State on 

December 15, 2011. As required by 

Clean Air Act (CAA) section 175A, this 

revised maintenance plan addresses 

maintenance of the PM10 standard for a 

second 10-year period beyond the area’s 

original redesignation to attainment for 

the PM10 NAAQS. In addition, EPA is 

proposing approval of the revised 

maintenance plan’s 2024 transportation 

conformity motor vehicle emissions 

budget for PM10. This action is being 

taken under sections 110 and 175A of 

the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules section of this Federal Register, 

the EPA is approving the State’s SIP 

revision through a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

SIP revision and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the preamble to 

the direct final rule. If EPA receives no 

adverse comments, EPA will not take 

further action on this proposed rule. If 

EPA receives adverse comments, EPA 

will withdraw the direct final rule and 

it will not take effect. Then, EPA will 

address all public comments in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period on this action. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

must 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. See the information 

provided in the direct final action of the 

same title which is located in the Rules 

section of this Federal Register.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Alabama; 

Infrastructure Requirements for the 

2008 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

in part and disapprove in part the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, 

submitted by the State of Alabama, 

through the Alabama Department of 

Environmental Management (ADEM), 

for inclusion into the Alabama SIP. This 

proposal pertains to the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or the Act) infrastructure 

requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS). The CAA requires that each 

state adopt and submit a SIP for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each NAAQS 

promulgated by EPA, which is 

commonly referred to as an 

‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. ADEM certified 

that the Alabama SIP contains 

provisions that ensure the 2008 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS is implemented, 

enforced, and maintained in Alabama. 

With the exception of provisions 

pertaining to prevention of significant 

deterioration (PSD) permitting, 

interstate transport, and visibility 

protection requirements for which EPA 

is proposing no action through this 

notice, and with the exception of the 

provisions respecting state boards, for 

which EPA is proposing disapproval, 

EPA is proposing to approve Alabama’s 

infrastructure SIP submission provided 

to EPA on August 20, 2012, as satisfying 

the required infrastructure elements for 

the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
