SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This section 

provides additional information by 

addressing the following: 

I. What is being addressed in this document? 

II. Have the requirements for approval of a 

SIP revision been met? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve SIP revisions to replace specific 

EPA SIP-approved construction permits 

with modified permits in Muscatine 

County, Iowa. The modified permits are 

associated with PM2.5 emission points at 

Union Tank Car (UTLX) and Muscatine 

Power and Water (MPW). Prior versions 

of these permits were included in the 

2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS control 

strategy proposed in the Federal 

Register on August 11, 2014, (79 FR 

71027) and published as a final rule on 

December 1, 2014, (79 FR 71025) with 

an effective date of December 31, 2014. 

Prior to publication of the final action, 

modifications to permits submitted with 

the control strategy were pending 

(under review by the state and 

undergoing public comment) for MPW 

and UTLX. 

Permits for UTLX were modified to 

reflect current operating conditions, 

stack configurations, and revised PM2.5

emission limits. The permit conditions 

pertaining to compliance 

demonstrations and operating condition 

monitoring, recordkeeping and 

reporting were included in each 

modified permit. The Iowa Department 

of Natural Resources (IDNR) initiated 

the public comment period that ended 

on August 28, 2014, for the UTLX 

modified permits. No comments were 

received. 

Permits for MPW were modified to 

include updated PM2.5 emission 

limitations associated with the rail 

unloading system. The permit 

conditions pertaining to compliance 

demonstrations and operating condition 

monitoring, recordkeeping and 

reporting were included in each 

modified permit. IDNR initiated the 

public comment period that ended on 

September 4, 2014, for the MPW 

modified permits. No comments were 

received. 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
18134 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 64 / Friday, April 3, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

The modified permits submission 

included a technical demonstration and 

an updated air dispersion modeling 

analysis. The modeling analysis, as well 

as the modified permits were reviewed 

by EPA and it was determined that the 

modifications continue to demonstrate 

emission reductions and attainment of 

the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS in 

Muscatine, Iowa, and therefore, does not 

relax the SIP. Additional technical 

detail regarding permit modifications is 

included in the Technical Support 

Document included in the docket for 

this rulemaking. 

This action will also make an 

administrative correction to a permit 

number. 

II. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP revision been met? 

The state submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. In addition, as 

explained above and in more detail in 

the identified docket documents, the 

revision meets the substantive SIP 

requirements of the CAA, including 

section 110 and implementing 

regulations. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve SIP revisions to include 

modified permits for the Muscatine 

County, Iowa, area. The modified 

permits are for emission points at UTLX 

and MPW which were included in the 

2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS control 

strategy. The control strategy was 

proposed in the Federal Register on 

August 11, 2014, and published as a 

final rule on December 1, 2014, with the 

effective date of December 31, 2014. 

This action also includes an 

administrative correction to the permit 

number for (44) Muscatine Power and 

Water (Permit NO. 95–A–373–P2). 

We are publishing this direct final 

rule without a prior proposed rule 

because we view this as a 

noncontroversial amendment and 

anticipate no adverse comment because 

the revisions are largely administrative 

and consistent with Federal regulations. 

The detailed rationale for the approval 

is set forth in the technical support 

document that can be found in Docket 

ID No. EPA–R07–OAR–2015–0159. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of today’s Federal Register, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposed rule to 

approve the SIP revision if adverse 

comments are received on this direct 

final rule. We will not institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. For further 

information about commenting on this 

rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. 

If EPA receives adverse comment, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that this direct final rule will not take 

effect. We will address all public 

comments in any subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule. 

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

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 Iowa’s EPA-Approved 

Iowa Source-Specific Orders/Permits, 

section 52.820 (d), described in the 

direct final 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). 

Under the CAA, 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 CAA. 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’’ under the terms of Executive 

Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993) and is therefore not subject to 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

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). 

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 

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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by June 2, 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. This action may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to

Regulation of Fuels and Fuel 

Additives: Cellulosic Waiver Credit 

Price and Minor Amendments to 

Renewable Fuel Standard Regulations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to clarify our regulations related 

to the data sources used to establish the 

cellulosic waiver credit (CWC) price. 

We are also removing references to CWC 

prices from the renewable fuel standard 

regulations, and instead intend to post 

the prices on EPA’s Web site. The direct 

final rule also indicates what the CWC 

prices for 2014 and 2015 would be using 

the data sources and methodology 

contained in the rule; however these 

prices will not be established until they 

are posted on our Web site following the 

effective date of the rule. In addition, we 

are making minor amendments to the 

renewable fuel standard program 

regulations to reinsert sections 

inadvertently overwritten by the Quality 

Assurance Program final rule published 

on July 18, 2014. 

DATES: This rule is effective on June 2, 

2015 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives relevant adverse comment by 

May 4, 2015. If EPA receives relevant 

adverse comment, we will publish in 

the Federal Register a timely 

withdrawal of the portions of this direct 

final rule on which adverse comment 

was received informing the public that 

those portions of the rule will not take 

effect.
