New Source Performance Standards 

and National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation 

of Authority to Louisiana 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of 

authority. 

SUMMARY: The Louisiana Department of 

Environmental Quality (LDEQ) has 

submitted updated regulations for 

receiving delegation of Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) authority for 

implementation and enforcement of 

New Source Performance Standards 

(NSPS) and National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAPs) for all sources (both part 70 

and non-part 70 sources). The 

delegation of authority under this action 

does not apply to sources located in 

Indian Country. EPA is providing notice 

that it is updating the delegation of 

certain NSPS to LDEQ, and taking direct 

final action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAPs to LDEQ. 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 27, 

2015 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives relevant adverse comment by 

March 26, 2015. If EPA receives such 

comment, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the updated 

NESHAPs delegation will not take 

effect; however, the NSPS delegation 

will not be affected by such action.

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What does this action do? 

EPA is providing notice that it is 

delegating authority for implementation 

and enforcement of certain NSPS to 

LDEQ. EPA is also taking direct final 

action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAPs to LDEQ. With this 

delegation, LDEQ has the primary 

responsibility to implement and enforce 

the delegated standards. 

II. What is the authority for delegation? 

Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) authorizes EPA to delegate 

authority to any state agency which 

submits adequate regulatory procedures 

for implementation and enforcement of 

the NSPS program. The NSPS standards 

are codified at 40 CFR part 60. 

Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart E, authorizes EPA to 

delegate authority to any state or local 

agency which submits an adequate 

regulatory program for implementation 

and enforcement of emission standards 

for hazardous air pollutants. The 

hazardous air pollutant standards are 

codified at 40 CFR parts 61 and 63. 

III. What criteria must Louisiana’s 

programs meet to be approved? 

In order to receive delegation of 

NSPS, a state must develop and submit 

to the EPA a procedure for 

implementing and enforcing the NSPS 

in the state, and their regulations and 

resources must be adequate for the 

implementation and enforcement of the 

NSPS. EPA initially approved 

Louisiana’s program for the delegation 

of NSPS on February 22, 1982 (47 FR 

07665). EPA reviewed the laws of the 

State and the rules and regulations of 

the Louisiana Department of Natural 

Resources (now the LDEQ) and 

determined the State’s procedures, 

regulations and resources adequate for 

the implementation and enforcement of 

the NSPS program. This action notifies 

the public that EPA is updating LDEQ’s 

delegation to implement and enforce 

certain additional NSPS. 

As to the NESHAP standards in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, section 112(l)(5) of 

the CAA enables EPA to approve state 

air toxics programs or rules to operate 

in place of the Federal air toxics 

program or rules. 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart E governs EPA’s approval of 

State programs or rules under section 

112(l). 

EPA will approve the State’s 

submittal of a program for 

implementation and enforcement of the 

NESHAPs if we find that: 

(1) The State program is ‘‘no less 

stringent’’ than the corresponding 

Federal program or rule; 

(2) The State has adequate authority 

and resources to implement the 

program; 

(3) The schedule for implementation 

and compliance is sufficiently 

expeditious; and 

(4) The program otherwise complies 

with Federal guidance. 

In order to obtain approval of its 

program to implement and enforce 

Federal section 112 rules as 

promulgated without changes (straight 

delegation), a State must demonstrate 

that it meets the approval criteria of 40 

CFR 63.91(d). 40 CFR 63.91(d)(3) 

provides that interim or final Title V 

program approval will satisfy the 

criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70 

sources (sources required to obtain 

operating permits pursuant to Title V of 

the Clean Air Act). 

IV. How did LDEQ meet the approval 

criteria? 

As to the NSPS standards in 40 CFR 

part 60, LDEQ adopted the Federal 

standards via incorporation by 

reference. The LDEQ regulations are, 

therefore, at least as stringent as EPA’s 

rules. See 40 CFR 60.10(a). Also, in the 

EPA initial approval of NSPS 

delegation, we determined that the State 

developed procedures for implementing 

and enforcing the NSPS in the State, 

and that the State’s regulations and 

resources are adequate for the 

implementation and enforcement of the 

NSPS program. See 47 FR 07665 

(February 22, 1982). 

As to the NESHAP standards in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of its Title 

V submission LDEQ stated that it 

intended to use the mechanism of 

incorporation by reference to adopt 

unchanged Federal section 112 

standards into its regulations. This 

commitment applied to both existing 

and future standards as they applied to 

part 70 sources. EPA’s final interim 

approval of Louisiana’s Title V 

operating permits program delegated the 

authority to implement certain 

NESHAPs to the State. See 60 FR 17750 

(April 7, 1995). EPA promulgated final 

full approval of the State’s operating 

permits program on September 12, 1995. 

See 60 FR 42296. These interim and 

final title V program approvals satisfy 

the upfront approval criteria of 40 CFR 

63.91(d). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), 

once a state has satisfied the up-front 

approval criteria, it needs only to 

reference the previous demonstration 

and reaffirm that it still meets the 

criteria for any subsequent submittals 

for delegation of the section 112 

standards. LDEQ has affirmed that it 

still meets the up-front approval criteria. 

V. What is being delegated? 

By letter dated November 30, 2010, 

EPA received a request from Louisiana 

to update LDEQ’s NSPS delegation and 

NESHAPs delegation. With certain 

exceptions noted in section VI below, 

LDEQ’s request included NSPS in 40 

CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 CFR 

part 61 and 63, as amended between 

July 2, 2008 and July 1, 2009. 

By letter dated May 28, 2013, EPA 

received a second request from 

Louisiana to update LDEQ’s NSPS 

delegation. Louisiana’s request only 

included NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart OOOO, Standards of 

Performance for Crude Oil and Natural 

Gas Production, Transmission and 

Distribution, as promulgated by EPA on 

August 16, 2012 (77 FR 49490). 

By letter dated June 21, 2013, EPA 

received a third request from Louisiana 

to update LDEQ’s NSPS delegation and 

NESHAPs delegation. With certain 

exceptions noted in section VI below, 

Louisiana’s request included NSPS in 

40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, as amended 

between July 2, 2009 and July 1, 2012. 

By letter dated August 28, 2014, EPA 

received a fourth request from Louisiana 

to update LDEQ’s NSPS delegation and 

NESHAPs delegation. With certain 

exceptions noted in section VI below, 

Louisiana’s request included NSPS in 

40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 

CFR part 61 and 63, as amended 

between July 2, 2012 and July 1, 2013.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 9615 

VI. What is not being delegated? 

The following part 60, 61 and 63 

authorities listed below are not 

delegated. All of the inquiries and 

requests concerning implementation 

and enforcement of the excluded 

standards in the State of Louisiana 

should be directed to the EPA Region 6 

Office. 

• 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA 

(Standards of Performance for New 

Residential Wood Heaters); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Underground Uranium 

Mines); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National 

Emission Standards for Emissions of 

Radionuclides Other Than Radon From 

Department of Energy Facilities); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions from Federal Facilities Other 

Than Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart 

H); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus 

Plants); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Department of Energy 

facilities); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Phosphogypsum 

Stacks); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium 

Mill Tailings); and 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Operating Mill 

Tailings). 

In addition, EPA cannot delegate to a 

State any of the Category II Subpart A 

authorities set forth in 40 CFR 

63.91(g)(2). These include the following 

provisions: § 63.6(g), Approval of 

Alternative Non-Opacity Standards; 

§ 63.6(h)(9), Approval of Alternative 

Opacity Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and 

(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to 

Test Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of 

Major Alternatives to Monitoring; and 

§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting. Also, some Part 63 standards 

have certain provisions that cannot be 

delegated to the States. Therefore, any 

Part 63 standard that EPA is delegating 

to LDEQ that provides that certain 

authorities cannot be delegated are 

retained by EPA and not delegated. 

Furthermore, no authorities are 

delegated that require rulemaking in the 

Federal Register to implement, or where 

Federal overview is the only way to 

ensure national consistency in the 

application of the standards or 

requirements of CAA section 112. 

Finally, section 112(r), the accidental 

release program authority, is not being 

delegated by this approval. 

In addition, this delegation to LDEQ 

to implement and enforce certain NSPS 

and NESHAPs does not extend to 

sources or activities located in Indian 

country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. 

Under this definition, EPA treats as 

reservations, trust lands validly set 

aside for the use of a Tribe even if the 

trust lands have not been formally 

designated as a reservation. Consistent 

with previous federal program 

approvals or delegations, EPA will 

continue to implement the NSPS and 

NESHAPs in Indian country because 

LDEQ has not submitted information to 

demonstrate authority over sources and 

activities located within the exterior 

boundaries of Indian reservations and 

other areas in Indian country. 

VII. How will applicability 

determinations be made? 

In approving the NSPS delegation, 

LDEQ will obtain concurrence from EPA 

on any matter involving the 

interpretation of section 111 of the CAA 

or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that 

application, implementation, 

administration, or enforcement of these 

provisions have not been covered by 

prior EPA determinations or guidance. 

See 47 FR 07665 (February 22, 1982). 

In approving the NESHAPs 

delegation, LDEQ will obtain 

concurrence from EPA on any matter 

involving the interpretation of section 

112 of the CAA or 40 CFR parts 61 and 

63 to the extent that application, 

implementation, administration, or 

enforcement of these provisions have 

not been covered by prior EPA 

determinations or guidance. 

VIII. What authority does EPA have? 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 111(c)(2), to enforce any 

applicable emission standard or 

requirement under section 111. 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 112(l)(7), to enforce any 

applicable emission standard or 

requirement under section 112. EPA 

also has the authority to make certain 

decisions under the General Provisions 

(subpart A) of part 63. We are granting 

LDEQ some of these authorities, and 

retaining others, as explained in 

sections V and VI above. In addition, 

EPA may review and disapprove State 

determinations and subsequently 

require corrections. (See 40 CFR 

63.91(g) and 65 FR 55810, 55823, 

September 14, 2000, as amended at 70 

FR 59887, October 13, 2005; 72 FR 

27443, May 16, 2007.) 

Furthermore, we retain any authority 

in an individual emission standard that 

may not be delegated according to 

provisions of the standard. Also, listed 

in the footnotes of the part 63 delegation 

table at the end of this rule are the 

authorities that cannot be delegated to 

any State or local agency which we 

therefore retain. 

Finally, we retain the authorities 

stated in the original delegation 

agreement. See 47 FR 07665 (February 

22, 1982). 

IX. What information must LDEQ 

provide to EPA? 

Under 40 CFR 60.4(b), all 

notifications under NSPS must be sent 

to both EPA and to LDEQ. Please send 

notifications and reports to Chief, Air/ 

Toxics Inspection and Coordination 

Branch at the EPA Region 6 office. 

LDEQ must provide any additional 

compliance related information to EPA, 

Region 6, Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance, within 45 days 

of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In 

receiving delegation for specific General 

Provisions authorities, LDEQ must 

submit to EPA Region 6, on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations 

issued under these authorities. For 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63 standards, these 

determinations include: Section 63.1, 

Applicability Determinations; Section 

63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance 

Requirements—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity 

Standards—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(h), Compliance with Opacity and 

Visible Emissions Standards— 

Responsibility for Determining 

Compliance; Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and 

(d), Approval of Site-Specific Test 

Plans; Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of 

Minor Alternatives to Test Methods; 

Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval 

of Intermediate Alternatives to Test 

Methods; Section 63.7(e)(iii), Approval 

of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes 

When Necessitated by Process Variables 

or Other Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), 

(h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance 

Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), 

Approval of Site-Specific Performance 

Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans; 

Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 

63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.9 

and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to 

Time Periods for Submitting Reports; 

Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
9616 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4), Extension 

of Performance Test Deadline. 

X. What is EPA’s oversight role? 

EPA must oversee LDEQ’s decisions 

to ensure the delegated authorities are 

being adequately implemented and 

enforced. We will integrate oversight of 

the delegated authorities into the 

existing mechanisms and resources for 

oversight currently in place. If, during 

oversight, we determine that LDEQ 

made decisions that decreased the 

stringency of the delegated standards, 

then LDEQ shall be required to take 

corrective actions and the source(s) 

affected by the decisions will be 

notified, as required by 40 CFR 

63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will initiate 

withdrawal of the program or rule if the 

corrective actions taken are insufficient. 

Also see 47 FR 07665 (February 22, 

1982). 

XI. Should sources submit notices to 

EPA or LDEQ? 

All of the information required 

pursuant to the Federal NSPS and 

NESHAPs (40 CFR parts 60, 61 and 63) 

should be submitted by sources located 

outside of Indian country directly to the 

LDEQ at the following address: 

Louisiana Department of Environmental 

Quality, PO Box 4301, Baton Rouge, 

Louisiana 70821–4301. The LDEQ is the 

primary point of contact with respect to 

delegated NSPS and NESHAPs. Sources 

do not need to send a copy to EPA. EPA 

Region 6 waives the requirement that 

notifications and reports for delegated 

standards be submitted to EPA in 

addition to LDEQ, in accordance with 

40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). 

Also, see 51 FR 20648 (June 6, 1986). 

For those standards that are not 

delegated, sources must continue to 

submit all appropriate information to 

EPA. 

XII. How will unchanged authorities be 

delegated to LDEQ in the future? 

In the future, LDEQ will only need to 

send a letter of request to update their 

delegation to EPA, Region 6, for those 

NSPS which they have adopted by 

reference. EPA will amend the relevant 

portions of the Code of Federal 

Regulations showing which NSPS 

standards have been delegated to LDEQ. 

Also, in the future, LDEQ will only need 

to send a letter of request for approval 

to EPA, Region 6, for those NESHAPs 

regulations that LDEQ has adopted by 

reference. The letter must reference the 

previous up-front approval 

demonstration and reaffirm that it still 

meets the up-front approval criteria. We 

will respond in writing to the request 

stating that the request for delegation is 

either granted or denied. A Federal 

Register action will be published to 

inform the public and affected sources 

of the delegation, indicate where source 

notifications and reports should be sent, 

and to amend the relevant portions of 

the Code of Federal Regulations 

showing which NESHAP standards have 

been delegated to LDEQ. 

XIII. Final Action 

The public was provided the 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed approval of the program and 

mechanism for delegation of section 112 

standards, as they apply to part 70 

sources, on August 24, 1994, for the 

proposed interim approval of LDEQ’s 

Title V operating permits program; and 

on April 7, 1995, for the proposed final 

approval of LDEQ’s Title V operating 

permits program. In EPA’s final full 

approval of Louisiana’s Operating 

Permits Program (60 FR 47296), the EPA 

discussed the public comments on the 

proposed final delegation of the Title V 

operating permits program. In today’s 

action, the public is given the 

opportunity to comment on the 

approval of LDEQ’s request for 

delegation of authority to implement 

and enforce certain section 112 

standards for all sources (both part 70 

and non-part 70 sources) which have 

been adopted by reference into 

Louisiana’s state regulations. However, 

the Agency views the approval of these 

requests as a noncontroversial action 

and anticipates no adverse comments. 

Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule 

without prior proposal. However, in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s 

Federal Register publication, EPA is 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

program and NESHAPs delegation of 

authority described in this action if 

adverse comments are received. This 

action will be effective April 27, 2015 

without further notice unless the 

Agency receives relevant adverse 

comments by March 26, 2015. 

If EPA receives relevant adverse 

comments, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public the rule will not 

take effect with respect to the updated 

NESHAPs delegation. We will address 

all public comments in a subsequent 

final rule based on the proposed rule. 

The 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 we 

receive relevant 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 a 

relevant adverse comment. 

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it 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). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the 

delegation is not approved to apply in 

Indian country located in the State, and 

the EPA notes that it will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law. This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state request to receive 

delegation of certain Federal standards, 

and does not alter the relationship or 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities established in the Clean 

Air Act. This rule also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant. 

In reviewing delegation submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve submissions, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 9617 

absence of a prior existing requirement 

for the State to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a delegation submission 

for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA to use VCS in place of a delegation 

submission that otherwise satisfies the 

provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, 

the requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. This rule does 

not impose an information collection 

burden under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

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 rule 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 27, 2015. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this rule 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)).

receiving delegation of Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) authority for 

implementation and enforcement of 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) 

for all sources (both part 70 and nonpart 70 sources). The delegation of 

authority under this action does not 

apply to sources located in Indian 

Country. EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAPs to ODEQ. 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 27, 

2015 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives relevant adverse comment by 

March 26, 2015. If EPA receives such 

comment, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the updated 

NESHAPs delegation will not take 

effect.
