Air Quality Designations for the 2008

Ozone National Ambient Air Quality

Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule establishes initial

air quality designations for most areas in

the United States, including areas of

Indian country, for the 2008 primary

and secondary national ambient air

quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone.

The designations for several counties in

Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin that the

EPA is considering for inclusion in the

Chicago nonattainment area will be

designated in a subsequent action, no

later than May 31, 2012. Areas

designated as nonattainment are also

being classified by operation of law

according to the severity of their air

quality problems. The classification

categories are Marginal, Moderate,

Serious, Severe, and Extreme. The EPA

is establishing the air quality thresholds

that define the classifications in a

separate rule that the EPA is signing and

publishing in the Federal Register on

the same schedule as these designations.

In accordance with that separate rule,

six nonattainment areas in California are

being reclassified to a higher

classification.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is

July 20, 2012.

II. What is the purpose of this action?

The purpose of this action is to

announce and promulgate initial area

designations for most areas of the

country with respect to the 2008

primary and secondary NAAQS for

ozone, in accordance with the

requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA)

section 107(d). The EPA is designating

areas as either nonattainment,

unclassifiable, or unclassifiable/

attainment. In addition, the

nonattainment areas are classified by

operation of law according to the

severity of their ozone air quality

problems and six areas in California are

being reclassified immediately to a

higher classification. The classification

categories are Marginal, Moderate,

Serious, Severe, and Extreme. The EPA

is establishing the air quality thresholds

that define the classifications in a

separate rule titled, "Implementation of

the 2008 National Ambient Air Quality

Standards for Ozone: Nonattainment

Area Classifications Approach,

Attainment Deadlines and Revocation of

the 1997 Ozone Standards for

Transportation Conformity Purposes"

(Classifications Rule). In that separate

rule, the EPA also codified the

immediate reclassification of six areas

in California. (See 40 CFR 51.1103(d).)

The list of all areas being designated in

each state and in areas of Indian county

appear in the tables at the end of this

final rule (amendments to 40 CFR

81.301-356). For areas designated as

nonattainment, the tables include the

area's classification by operation of law

or the area's reclassification in

accordance with 40 CFR 51.1103(d).

In this action, the EPA is designating

45 areas as nonattainment. Seven of the

areas are multi-state areas. The EPA is

designating one area, Uinta Basin, WY,

as unclassifiable because there is

existing non-regulatory monitoring in

the area that detected levels of ozone

that exceed the NAAQS. Regulatory

monitoring has been conducted in that

area since April 2011, and thus there are

not yet three consecutive years of

certified ozone monitoring data

available that can be used to determine

the area's attainment status. Consistent

with previous initial area designations

for ozone, the EPA is designating all the

remaining state areas and Indian

country as unclassifiable/attainment.

Consistent with the EPA's "Policy for

Establishing Separate Air Quality

Designations for Areas of Indian

Country" (December 20, 2011), the EPA

is designating four areas of Indian

country separately from their adjacent/

surrounding state areas.' The lands of

the Pechanga Tribe and the Morongo

Tribe in Southern California are being

designated as separate nonattainment

areas, while two additional areas in

Indian country are being designated as

separate unclassifiable/attainment areas.

The EPA is basing the designations on

the most recent certified ozone air

quality monitoring data and an

evaluation of factors to assess

contributions to nonattainment in

nearby areas. State areas designated as

nonattainment are subject to planning

and emission reduction requirements as

specified in the CAA. Requirements

vary according to an area's

classification. The EPA will be

proposing shortly an implementation

rule to assist states in the development

of state implementation plans for

attaining the ozone standards.

III. What is ozone and how is it formed?

Ground-level ozone, 03, is a gas that

is formed by the reaction of volatile

organic compounds (VOCs) and oxides

of nitrogen (NOx) in the atmosphere in

the presence of sunlight. These

precursor emissions are emitted by

many types of pollution sources,

including power plants and industrial

emissions sources, on-road and off-road

motor vehicles and engines, and smaller

sources, collectively referred to as area

sources. Ozone is predominately a

summertime air pollutant. However,

high ozone concentrations have also

been observed in cold months, where a

few high elevation areas in the Western

U.S. have experienced high levels of

local VOC and NOx emissions that have

formed ozone when snow is on the

ground and temperatures are near or

below freezing. Ozone and ozone

precursors can be transported to an area

from sources in nearby areas or from

sources located hundreds of miles away.

For purposes of determining ozone

nonattainment area boundaries, the

CAA requires the EPA to include areas

that contribute to nearby violations of

the NAAQS.

IV. What are the 2008 ozone NAAQS

and the health and welfare concerns

they address?

On March 12, 2008, the EPA revised

both the primary and secondary NAAQS

for ozone to a level of 0.075 parts per

million (ppm) (annual fourth-highest

daily maximum 8-hour average

concentration, averaged over 3 years) to

provide increased protection of public

health and the environment.2 The 2008

ozone NAAQS retains the same general

form and averaging time as the 0.08

ppm NAAQS set in 1997, but is set at

a more protective level.

Ozone exposure also has been

associated with increased susceptibility

to respiratory infections, medication use

by asthmatics, doctor visits, and

emergency department visits and

explanation of the calculation of the 3-year 8-hour

average, see 40 CFR part 50, Appendix I.

30089
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

hospital admissions for individuals with

respiratory disease. Ozone exposure

may also contribute to premature death,

especially in people with heart and lung

disease. The secondary ozone standard

was revised to protect against adverse

welfare effects including impacts to

sensitive vegetation and forested

ecosystems.

V. What are the CAA requirements for

air quality designations?

When the EPA promulgates a new or

revised NAAQS, the EPA is required to

designate areas as nonattainment,

attainment, or unclassifiable, pursuant

to section 107(d)(1) of the CAA. The

CAA requires the EPA to complete the

initial area designation process within 2

years of promulgating the NAAQS.

However, if the Administrator has

insufficient information to make these

designations within that time frame, the

EPA has the authority to extend the

deadline for designation decisions by up

to 1 additional year.

By not later than 1 year after the

promulgation of a new or revised

NAAQS, each state governor is required

to recommend air quality designations,

including the appropriate boundaries

for areas, to the EPA. The EPA reviews

those state recommendations and is

authorized to make any modifications

the Administrator deems necessary. The

statute does not define the term

"necessary," but the EPA interprets this

to authorize the Administrator to

modify designations that did not meet

the statutory requirements or were

otherwise inconsistent with the facts or

analysis deemed appropriate by the

EPA. If the EPA is considering

modifications to a state's initial

recommendation, the EPA is required to

notify the state of any such intended

modifications to its recommendation

not less than 120 days prior to the EPA's

promulgation of the final designation.

These notifications are commonly

known as the "120-day letters." If the

state does not agree with the EPA's

intended modification, it then has an

opportunity to respond to the EPA to

demonstrate why it believes the

modification proposed by the EPA is

inappropriate. Even if a state fails to

provide any recommendation for an

area, in whole or in part, the EPA still

must promulgate a designation that the

Administrator deems appropriate.

Section 107(d)(1)(A)(i) of the CAA

defines a nonattainment area as, "any

area that does not meet (or that

contributes to ambient air quality in a

nearby area that does not meet) the

national primary or secondary ambient

air quality standard for the pollutant."

If an area meets either prong of this

definition, then the EPA is obligated to

designate the area as "nonattainment."

Section 107(d)(1)(A)(iii) provides that

any area that the EPA cannot designate

on the basis of available information as

meeting or not meeting the standards

should be designated as "unclassifiable." Historically for ozone,

the EPA designates the remaining areas

as "unclassifiable/attainment"

indicating that the areas either have

attaining air quality monitoring data or

that air quality information is not

available because the areas are not

monitored, and the EPA has not

determined that the areas contribute to

a violation in a nearby area.

The EPA believes that section 107(d)

provides the agency with discretion to

determine how best to interpret the

terms "contributes to" and "nearby" in

the definition of a nonattainment area

for a new or revised NAAQS, given

considerations such as the nature of a

specific pollutant, the types of sources

that may contribute to violations, the

form of the standards for the pollutant,

and other relevant information. In

particular, the EPA believes that the

statute does not require the agency to

establish bright line tests or thresholds

for what constitutes "contribution" or "nearby" for purposes of designations. 3

Similarly, the EPA believes that the

statute permits the EPA to evaluate the

appropriate application of the term

"area" as may be appropriate for a

particular NAAQS.

Section 301(d) of the CAA authorizes

the EPA to approve eligible Indian tribes

to implement provisions of the CAA on

Indian reservations and other areas

within the tribes' jurisdiction. The

Tribal Authority Rule (TAR) (40 CFR

Part 49), which implements section

301(d) of the CAA, sets forth the criteria

and process for tribes to apply to the

EPA for eligibility to administer CAA

programs. The designations process

contained in section 107(d) of the CAA

is included among those provisions

determined to be appropriate by the

EPA for treatment of tribes in the same

manner as states. Under the TAR, tribes

generally are not subject to the same

submission schedules imposed by the

CAA on states. As authorized by the

TAR, tribes may seek eligibility to

submit designation recommendations to

the EPA.

VI. What is the chronology for this

designations rule and what guidance

did the EPA provide?

Within one year after a new or revised

air quality standard is established, the

3 This view was confirmed in Catawba County v.

EPA, 571 F.3d 20 (D.C. Cir. 2009).

CAA requires the governor of each state

to submit to the EPA a list of all areas

in the state, with recommendations for

whether each area meets the standard.

On December 4, 2008, the EPA issued

guidance for states and tribal agencies to

use for this purpose. (See memorandum

from Robert J. Meyers, Principal Deputy

Assistant Administrator, to Regional

Administrators, Regions I-X, titled,

"Area Designations for the 2008 Revised

Ozone National Ambient Air Quality

Standards.) The guidance provided the

anticipated timeline for designations

and identified important factors that the

EPA recommended states and tribes

consider in making their

recommendations. These factors include

air quality data, emissions data, traffic

and commuting patterns, growth rates

and patterns, meteorology, geography/

topography, and jurisdictional

boundaries. In the guidance, the EPA

asked that states and tribes submit their

designation recommendations,

including appropriate area boundaries,

to the EPA by March 12, 2009. Later in

the process, the EPA issued 2 new

guidance memoranda related to

designating areas of Indian county. (See

December 20, 2011, memorandum from

Stephen D. Page, Director, Office of Air

Quality Planning and Standards, to

Regional Air Directors, Regions I-X,

titled, "Policy for Establishing Separate

Air Quality Designations for Areas of

Indian Country," and December 20,

2011, memorandum from Stephen D.

Page, Director, Office of Air Quality

Planning and Standards, to Regional Air

Directors, Regions I-X, titled,

"Guidance to Regions for Working with

Tribes during the National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQS)

Designations Process.")

Under the initial schedule, the EPA

intended to complete the initial

designations for the 2008 ozone NAAQS

on a 2-year schedule, by March 12,

2010. On September 16, 2009, the EPA

announced that it would initiate a

rulemaking to reconsider the 2008

ozone NAAQS for various reasons,

including the fact that the 0.075 ppm

level fell outside of the range

recommended by the Clean Air

Scientific Advisory Committee, the

independent group that provides advice

to the EPA Administrator on the

technical bases for the EPA's NAAQS.

The EPA signed the proposed

reconsideration on January 6, 2010. (See

75 FR 2938; January 19, 2010.) Because

of the significant uncertainty the ozone

NAAQS reconsideration created

regarding the continued applicability of

the 2008 NAAQS, the EPA determined

there was insufficient information to

30090
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

designate areas within 2 years of

promulgation of the NAAQS. Therefore,

the EPA used its authority under CAA

section 107(d)(1)(B) to extend the

deadline for designating areas by 1 year,

until March 12, 2011. (See 75 FR 2936;

January 19, 2010.) The EPA has not

taken final action on the proposed

reconsideration; thus, the current

NAAQS for ozone remains at 0.075

ppm, as established in 2008.

After the March 12, 2011, designation

deadline passed, WildEarth Guardians

and Elizabeth Crowe (WildEarth

Guardians) filed a lawsuit seeking to

compel the EPA to take action to

designate areas for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS. WildEarth Guardians and

Elizabeth Crowe v. Jackson (D. Ariz. 11-

CV-01661). The EPA and WildEarth

Guardians settled the case by entering

into a consent decree that requires the

EPA Administrator to sign a final rule

designating areas for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS by May 31, 2012.

On September 22, 2011, the EPA

issued a memorandum to clarify for

state and local agencies the status of the

2008 ozone NAAQS and to outline

plans for moving forward to implement

them. The EPA indicated that it would

proceed with initial area designations

for the 2008 NAAQS, and planned to

use the recommendations states made in

2009 as updated by the most current,

certified air quality data from 2008-

2010. While the EPA did not request

that states submit updated designation

recommendations, the EPA provided the

opportunity for states to do so. Several

states chose to update their

recommendations, and some requested

that the EPA base designations for their

areas on certified air quality data from

2009-2011, and committed to certify the

2011 data earlier than the May 1

deadline for annual air monitoring

certification under 40 CFR part

58.15(a)(2) so that the EPA would have

sufficient time to consider the data in

making decisions on designations and

nonattainment area boundaries.

On or about December 9, 2011, the

EPA sent letters to Governors and Tribal

leaders notifying them of the EPA's

preliminary response to their

designation recommendations and to

inform them of the EPA's approach for

completing the designations for the

2008 ozone NAAQS. The EPA requested

that states submit any additional

information that they wanted the EPA to

consider by February 29, 2011,

including any certified 2011 air quality

monitoring data. On January 31, 2011,

the EPA sent revised 120-day letter

responses to Illinois, Indiana, and

Wisconsin based on updated ozone air

quality data for 2009-2011, submitted

by the state of Illinois two days before

the EPA sent the December 9, 2011,

letters. Given the timing of Illinois'

submission of certified data, EPA was

not able to consider the information in

the December 9, 2011, letters. After

reviewing the new information, which

indicated a violation of the ozone

NAAQS at a monitor in the Chicago

area, the EPA sent letters on January 31,

2012 notifying Illinois, Indiana, and

Wisconsin that it intended to designate

certain counties, identified in those

letters, as nonattainment for the 2008

ozone NAAQS. The EPA cannot finalize

a designation for those areas until 120

days following the letters. Therefore, the

EPA will be designating the Illinois,

Indiana, and Wisconsin counties

identified in the January 31, 2011,

letters in a separate rule that will be

signed no later than May 31, 2012.

Although not required by section

107(d) of the CAA, the EPA also

provided an opportunity for members of

the public to comment on the EPA's

120-day response letters to states and

tribes. The EPA announced a 30-day

public comment period in the Federal

Register on December 20, 2011 (76 FR

78872). The comment period was

subsequently extended until February 3,

2012 (77 FR 2677; January 19, 2012). On

February 14, 2012 (77 FR 8211), the EPA

reopened the public comment period for

the limited purpose of inviting comment

on the EPA's revised responses to

Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. State

and tribal recommendations and the

EPA's preliminary responses were

posted on EPA's Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/ozonedesignations and are

available in the docket for the

designations action. Comments from the

states, tribes and the public, and EPA's

responses to significant comments, are

also in the docket.

VII. What air quality data has the EPA

used to designate areas for the 2008

ozone NAAQS?

The final ozone designations are

based primarily on certified air quality

monitoring data from calendar years

2008-2010, which was the most recent

certified data available to the EPA at the

time the EPA notified the states of its

intended modifications to their

recommendations. Under 40 CFR 58.16,

states are required to report all

monitored ozone air quality data and

associated quality assurance data within

90 days after the end of each quarterly

reporting period, and under 40 CFR part

58.15(a)(2) states are required to submit

annual summary reports and a data

certification letter to the EPA by May 1

for ozone air quality data collected in

the previous calendar year. States

generally had not completed these

requirements for calendar year 2011

ozone air quality data when the EPA

notified states of our intended

designations on December 9, 2011. In

certain cases, states included as part of

their designation recommendations a

request that the EPA consider

monitoring data from 2009-2011 in

making final designation decisions. In

these requests, they indicated to the

EPA what they expected their certified

ozone air quality data would show

regarding whether an area was attaining

the standard, and for designations

purposes they committed to certifying

their 2011 data no later than February

29, 2012, so that the EPA would have

sufficient time to consider it. Thus, for

those areas, the EPA considered the

state's preliminary representation of

2011 data in sending the 120-day

notification letter. We have verified

these representations in making our

final designations decisions.

VIII. What are the ozone air quality

classifications?

In accordance with CAA section

181(a)(1), each area designated as

nonattainment for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS is classified by operation of law

at the same time as the area is

designated by the EPA. Under Subpart

2 of part D of title I of the CAA, state

planning and emissions control

requirements for ozone are determined,

in part, by a nonattainment area's

classification. The ozone nonattainment

areas are classified based on the severity

of their ozone levels (as determined

based on the area's "design value,"

which represents air quality in the area

for the most recent 3 years). 4 The

possible classifications are Marginal,

Moderate, Serious, Severe, and Extreme.

Nonattainment areas with a "lower"

classification have ozone levels that are

closer to the standard than areas with a

"higher" classification. Areas in the

lower classification levels have fewer

and/or less stringent mandatory air

quality planning and control

requirements than those in higher

classifications. The final Classifications

Rule, which is being signed at the same

time as the designations rule and being

published and effective at the same time

or before the designations, establishes

the classification thresholds for each

classification category for purposes of

the 2008 NAAQS and explains the

EPA's methodology for calculating the

thresholds. In addition, in the

4 The air quality design value for the 8-hour

ozone NAAQS is the 3-year average of the annual

4th highest daily maximum 8-hou r average ozone

concentration. See 40 CFR part 50, Appendix i.

30091
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

Classifications Rule, the EPA

promulgated a regulation, 40 CFR

51.1103(d), that immediately reclassifies

6 areas in California to higher

classifications. The classification for

each nonattainment area designated for

the 2008 ozone NAAQS is shown in the

40 CFR part 81 tables at the end of this

designations rule.

IX. What is the reclassification of six

California nonattainment areas?

The final Classifications Rule

addresses the reclassification for the

2008 ozone NAAQS of selected areas in

California that had voluntarily

reclassified under the 1997 ozone

NAAQS. In accordance with the final

Classifications Rule, the following areas

are being voluntarily reclassified to a

higher classification for purposes of the

2008 NAAQS pursuant to that rule:

Serious-Ventura County, CA; SevereLos Angeles-San Bernardino Counties

(West Mojave Desert), Riverside County

(Coachella Valley), and Sacramento

Metro, CA; Extreme-Los Angeles-South

Coast Air Basin, and San Joaquin Valley,

CA. These classifications are reflected in

the tables at the end of this final rule

(amendments to 40 CFR 81.301-356).

X. Can states request that areas within

5 percent of the upper or lower limit of

a classification threshold be

reclassified?

Under CAA section 181(a)(4), an

ozone nonattainment area may be

reclassified to a higher or lower

classification (also known as a

classification bump up or a bump down)

"if an area classified under paragraph

(1) (Table 1) would have been classified

in another category if the design value

in the area were 5 percent greater or 5

percent less than the level on which

such classification was based." The

section also states that "In making such

adjustment, the Administrator may

consider the number of exceedances of

the national primary ambient air quality

standard for ozone in the area, the level

of pollution transport between the area

and other affected areas, including both

intrastate and interstate transport, and

the mix of sources and air pollutants in

the area."

As noted in the preamble to the rule

designating and classifying areas

following enactment of the CAA

Amendments of 1990, the section

181(a)(4) provisions grant the

Administrator broad discretion in

making or determining not to make, a

reclassification. (See 56 FR 56698;

November 6, 1991.) As part of the 1991

action, the EPA developed criteria to

evaluate whether it is appropriate to

reclassify a particular area. (See list

below and at 56 FR 56698.) Because

section 181(b)(3) provides that the EPA

must grant any state request to reclassify

an area into a higher classification, the

EPA focused these criteria primarily on

how the EPA would assess requests for

a lower classification. In 1991, EPA

approved reclassifications when the

area met the first requirement (a request

by the state to EPA) and at least some

of the other criteria, and did not violate

any of the criteria (emissions

reductions, trends, etc.). The EPA used

the same method and criteria once again

to evaluate reclassification requests

under section 181(a)(4) for purposes of

the 1997 ozone NAAQS. The EPA

intends to continue to use this same

approach for purposes of evaluating any

request for a reclassification for the 2008

ozone NAAQS. For reclassifications

downwards, states may only request a

reclassification to the next lower

classification, and air quality data from

prior years cannot be used as

justification to be reclassified to an even

lower classification.

The criteria EPA intends to use to

evaluate whether it is appropriate to

reclassify a particular area include:

Request by state: The EPA does not

intend to exercise its authority to

reclassify areas on the EPA's own

initiative. Rather, the EPA intends to

rely on the state to submit a request for

a reclassification. A tribe may also

submit such a request and, in the case

of a multi-state nonattainment area, all

affected states must submit the same

reclassification request.

Discontinuity: A five percent

reclassification must not result in an

illogical or excessive discontinuity

relative to surrounding areas. In

particular, in light of the area-wide

nature of ozone formation, a

reclassification should not create a

"donut hole" where an area of one

classification is surrounded by areas of

higher classification.

Attainment: Evidence should be

available that the proposed area would

be able to attain by the earlier date

specified by the lower classification in

the case of a reclassification downward.

Emissions reductions: Evidence

should be available that the area would

be very likely to achieve the appropriate

total percent emission reduction

necessary in order to attain in the

shorter time period for a reclassification

downward.

Trends: Near- and long-term trends in

emissions and air quality should

support a reclassification. Historical air

quality data should indicate substantial

air quality improvement for a

reclassification downward. Growth

projections and emission trends should

support a reclassification downward. In

addition, we will consider whether

vehicle miles traveled and other

indicators of emissions are increasing at

higher than normal rates.

Years of data: The same years of

ozone air quality data used for the

initial designation and classification

should be used for reclassification

requests.

A. Five Percent Reclassifications to a

Lower Classification

For an area to be eligible to be

reclassified to a lower classification

under section 181(a)(4), the area's

design value must be within five

percent of the upper limit for the next

lower classification. For example, an

area with a Moderate design value of

0.090 ppm (or less) would be eligible to

request a reclassification to Marginal

because 0.090 ppm is five percent more

than the upper limit of 0.086 ppm for

the Marginal classification. Accordingly,

areas with the following design values

may be eligible to request a

reclassification to the next lower

classification: Moderate areas with a

design value of 0.090 ppm or less;

Serious areas with a design value of

0.105 ppm or less; and Severe areas

with a design value of 0.118 ppm or

less.

B. Five Percent Reclassifications to a

Higher Classification

An ozone nonattainment area may

also be reclassified under section

181(a)(4) to the next higher

classification. As with five percent

reclassifications to a lower

classification, the EPA does not intend

to exercise its authority to reclassify

areas to a higher classification on the

EPA's own initiative. Rather, the EPA

intends to rely on the state to submit a

request for such a reclassification. Areas

with the following design values are

eligible to request a reclassification to

the next higher classification: Marginal

areas with a design value of 0.082 ppm

or more; Moderate areas with a design

value of 0.095 ppm or more; and Serious

areas with a design value of 0.108 ppm

or more.

C. Timing of the Five Percent

Reclassifications

A Governor or eligible Tribal

governing body of any area that wishes

to pursue a reclassification should

submit all requests and supporting

documentation to the EPA Regional

Office by June 20, 2012. This relatively

short time frame is necessary because

section 181(a)(4) only authorizes the

Administrator to make such

30092
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

reclassifications within 90 days after the

initial classification.

XI. How do designations affect Indian

country?

All state areas listed in the tables at

the end of this document are designated

as indicated, and include Indian

country geographically located within

such areas, except as otherwise noted.

In general, state recommendations for

initial area designations do not apply to

Indian country. Consistent with the

"Policy for Establishing Separate Air

Quality Designations for Areas of Indian

Country" (December 20, 2011), in

instances where the EPA did not receive

an initial designation recommendation

from a tribe, the EPA is designating their

area of Indian country along with the

adjacent/surrounding state area(s).

Tribes whose areas of Indian country are

designated as nonattainment for the

2008 ozone NAAQS are being affected

by poor air quality. Where

nonattainment areas include both

Indian country and state land, it is

important for states and tribes to work

together to coordinate planning efforts.

Coordinated planning will help ensure

that the planning decisions made by the

states and tribes complement each other

and that the nonattainment area makes

reasonable progress toward attainment

and ultimately attains the 2008 ozone

NAAQS.

XII. Where can I find information

forming the basis for this rule and

exchanges between the EPA, states, and

tribes related to this rule?

Information providing the basis for

this action are provided in the docket

for this rulemaking. The applicable EPA

guidance memoranda and copies of

correspondence regarding this process

between the EPA and the states, tribes,

and other parties are available for

review at the EPA Docket Center listed

above in the addresses section of this

document, and on the EPA's ozone

designation Web site at http://

www.epa.gov/ozonedesignations. Statespecific information is available from

the EPA Regional Offices.

XIII. Statutory and Executive Order

Reviews

Upon promulgation of a new or

revised NAAQS, the CAA requires the

EPA to designate areas as attaining or

not attaining the NAAQS. The CAA

then specifies requirements for areas

based on whether such areas are

attaining or not attaining the NAAQS. In

this final rule, the EPA assigns

designations to areas as required.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory

Planning and Review and Executive

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and

Regulatory Review

This action responds to the CAA

requirement to promulgate air quality

designations after promulgation of a

new or revised NAAQS. This type of

action is exempt from review under

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,

January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

This action does not impose an

information collection burden under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is

defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). This rule

responds to the CAA requirement to

promulgate air quality designations after

promulgation of a new or revised

NAAQS. This requirement is prescribed

in the CAA section 107. The present

final rule does not establish any new

information collection requirements.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

This final rule is not subject to the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), which

generally requires an agency to prepare

a regulatory flexibility analysis for any

rule that will have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. The RFA

applies only to rules subject to noticeand-comment rulemaking requirements

under the Administrative Procedure Act

(APA) or any other statute. This rule is

not subject to notice-and-comment

requirements as provided under CAA

section 107(d)(2)(B).

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

This action contains no federal

mandate under the provisions of Title II

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538 for

state, local, or tribal governments or the

private sector. The action imposes no

enforceable duty on any state, local or

tribal governments or the private sector.

Therefore, this action is not subject to

the requirements of sections 202 and

205 of the UMRA.

This action is also not subject to the

requirements of section 203 of UMRA

because it contains no regulatory

requirements that might significantly or

uniquely affect small governments. It

does not create any additional

requirements beyond those of the CAA

and ozone NAAQS (40 CFR 50.15). The

CAA establishes the process whereby

states take primary responsibility in

developing plans to meet the ozone

NAAQS.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

This final rule does not have

federalism implications. It will 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. The CAA

establishes the process whereby states

take primary responsibility in

developing plans to meet the ozone

NAAQS. This rule will not modify the

relationship of the states and the EPA

for purposes of developing programs to

implement the ozone NAAQS. Thus,

Executive Order 13132 does not apply

to this rule.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation

and Coordination With Indian Tribal

Governments

Subject to the Executive Order 13175

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) the

EPA may not issue a regulation that has

tribal implications, that imposes

substantial direct compliance costs, and

that is not required by statute, unless

the Federal government provides the

funds necessary to pay the direct

compliance costs incurred by tribal

governments, or the EPA consults with

tribal officials early in the process of

developing the proposed regulation and

develops a tribal summary impact

statement.

The EPA has concluded that this

action may have tribal implications.

However, it will neither impose

substantial direct compliance costs on

tribal governments, nor preempt tribal

law. Tribes whose areas of Indian

country are being designated as "nonattainment" for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS are affected by poor air quality.

Although tribes are not required to

submit implementation plans under the

Clean Air Act, for those tribes whose

areas are being designated as part of

surrounding state areas, it will be

imperative that states and the tribes

coordinate on air quality planning

efforts to ensure that ozone levels are

reduced. In addition, several tribes'

areas of Indian country are being

designated as "nonattainment"

separately from their surrounding state

areas. For these tribes, internal capacity

for air quality planning will be

important to enable their areas of Indian

country to come into attainment.

The EPA consulted with tribal

officials early in the process of

developing this regulation to permit

them to have meaningful and timely

input into its development. At the

beginning of the designations process,

30093
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

letters were sent to all tribes who were

expected to be impacted by designations

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. These

letters not only informed the tribes of

the overall designations process, but

also offered the tribes consultation to

ensure early communication and

coordination. Additionally, letters were

sent to potentially affected tribes

indicating the EPA's intended

designations for their areas of Indian

country. These letters offered an

additional opportunity for consultation.

All consultations were completed in late

February/early April 2012. During

consultation, the primary concerns

raised by tribes included the following:

Impact of nonattainment designation on

future economic development;

appropriateness of using data from

monitors not on tribal land; and

ensuring final decisions are consistent

with the EPA's "Policy for Establishing

Separate Air Quality Designations for

Areas of Indian Country." (December

20, 2011). During the consultations, the

EPA's Regional Offices ensured that the

tribes fully understood the reasoning for

the EPA's preliminary designations

decisions and how those decisions are

aligned with a consideration of the most

recent certified air quality data and all

other relevant information, including

the EPA's "Policy for Establishing

Separate Air Quality Designations for

Areas of Indian Country." To the extent

possible, the EPA included the tribes'

input into the final decision-making

process for designations of their areas of

Indian country for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of

Children From Environmental Health

and Safety Risks

The EPA interprets Executive Order

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as

applying only to those regulatory

actions that concern health or safety

risks, such that the analysis required

under section 5-501 of the Executive

Order has the potential to influence the

regulation. This action is not subject to

Executive Order 13045 because it does

not establish an environmental standard

intended to mitigate health or safety

risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That

Significantly Affect Energy Supply,

Distribution, or Use

This action is not subject to Executive

Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22,

2001)), because it is not a significant

regulatory action under Executive Order

12866.

L National Technology Transfer and

Advancement Act (NTTAA)

Section 12(d) of the NTTAA of 1995,

Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15

U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to use

voluntary consensus standards (VCS) in

its regulatory activities unless to do so

would be inconsistent with applicable

law or otherwise impracticable.

Voluntary consensus standards are

technical standards (e.g., materials

specifications, test methods, sampling

procedures, and business practices) that

are developed or adopted by VCS

bodies. The NTTAA directs the EPA to

provide Congress, through the Office of

Management and Budget, explanations

when the Agency decides not to use

available and applicable VCS.

This action does not involve technical

standards. Therefore, the EPA did not

consider the use of any VCS.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal

Actions To Address Environmental

Justice in Minority Populations and

Low-Income Populations.

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629

(Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal

executive policy on environmental

justice. Its main provision directs

federal agencies, to the greatest extent

practicable and permitted by law, to

make environmental justice part of their

mission by identifying and addressing,

as appropriate, disproportionately high

and adverse human health or

environmental effects of their programs,

policies, and activities on minority

populations and low-income

populations in the U.S.

The CAA requires that the EPA

designate as nonattainment "any area

that does not meet (or that contributes

to ambient air quality in a nearby area

that does not meet) the national primary

or secondary ambient air quality

standard for the pollutant." By

designating as nonattainment all areas

where available information indicates a

violation of the ozone NAAQS or a

contribution to a nearby violation, this

action protects all those residing,

working, attending school, or otherwise

present in those areas regardless of

minority or economic status.

The EPA has determined that this

final rule will not have

disproportionately high and adverse

human health or environmental effects

on minority or low-income populations

because it increases the level of

environmental protection for all affected

populations without having any

disproportionately high and adverse

human health or environmental effects

on any population, including any

minority or low-income population.

K. Congressional Review Act

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 U.S. The 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 U.S. 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). This rule will be effective July

20, 2012.

L. Judicial Review

Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates

which Federal Courts of Appeal have

venue for petitions of review of final

actions by the EPA. This section

provides, in part, that petitions for

review must be filed in the Court of

Appeals for the District of Columbia

Circuit: (i) When the agency action

consists of "nationally applicable

regulations promulgated, or final actions

taken, by the Administrator," or (ii)

when such action is locally or regionally

applicable, if "such action is based on

a determination of nationwide scope or

effect and if in taking such action the

Administrator finds and publishes that

such action is based on such a

determination."

This rule designating areas for the

2008 ozone NAAQS is "nationally

applicable" within the meaning of

section 307(b)(1). This rule establishes

designations for areas across the U.S. for

the 2008 ozone NAAQS. At the core of

this rulemaking is the EPA's

interpretation of the definition of

nonattainment under section 107(d)(1)

of the CAA, and its application of that

interpretation to areas across the

country.

For the same reasons, the

Administrator also is determining that

the final designations are of nationwide

scope and effect for the purposes of

section 307(b)(1). This is particularly

appropriate because, in the report on the

1977 Amendments that revised section

307(b)(1) of the CAA, Congress noted

that the Administrator's determination

that an action is of "nationwide scope

or effect" would be appropriate for any

action that has a scope or effect beyond

a single judicial circuit. H.R. Rep. No.

95-294 at 323, 324, reprinted in 1977

30094
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

U.S.C.C.A.N. 1402-03. Here, the scope

and effect of this rulemaking extends to

numerous judicial circuits since the

designations apply to areas across the

country. In these circumstances, section

307(b)(1) and its legislative history calls

for the Administrator to find the rule to

be of "nationwide scope or effect" and

for venue to be in the D.C. Circuit.

Thus, any petitions for review of final

designations must be filed in the Court

of Appeals for the District of Columbia

Circuit within 60 days from the date

final action is published in the Federal

Register.

continues generally toward the northeast

along the centerline of Little Sandy Creek

to the confluence of Little Sandy Creek and

Pacific Creek (in R106W T25N Section 24).

From this point, the boundary moves generally to the east and north along the centerline of Pacific Creek to the confluence of

Pacific Creek and Whitehorse Creek (in

R103W T26N Section 10). From this point

the boundary follows the centerline of

Whitehorse Creek generally to the northeast until it reaches the eastern boundary

of Section 1 R103W T26N. From the point

where Whitehorse Creek crosses the eastern section line of Section 1 R103W T26N,

the boundary moves straight north along

the section line to the southeast corner of

Section 36 R103W T27N in Sublette County where the boundary ends.

Ozone Standards for Transportation

Conformity Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the EPA is

establishing the air quality thresholds

that define the classifications assigned

to all nonattainment areas for the 2008

ozone national ambient air quality

standards (NAAQS) (the "2008 ozone

NAAQS") which were promulgated on

March 12, 2008. The EPA is also

granting reclassification for selected

nonattainment areas that voluntarily

reclassified under the 1997 ozone

NAAQS. This rule also establishes

December 31 of each relevant calendar

year as the attainment date for all

nonattainment area classification

categories. Finally, this rule provides for

the revocation of the 1997 ozone

NAAQS for transportation conformity

purposes to occur 1 year after the

effective date of designations for the

2008 ozone NAAQS.

DATES: This rule is effective on July 20,

2012.

II. Background

On March 27, 2008,1 the EPA

published revisions to both the primary

1 See 73 FR 16436. The secondary ozone

standard, designed to protect public welfare, was

set at the same level and with the same averaging

time as the primary standard. Since the primary and

secondary standards are identical, we refer to them,

both individually and together, as the "2008 ozone

standard" (or, alternatively, the "2008 ozone

NAAQS") throughout this preamble. For a detailed

explanation of the calculation of the 3-year 8-hour

average, see 40 CFR part 50, Appendix 1.

and secondary NAAQS for ozone to a

level of 0.075 parts per million (ppm)

(annual fourth-highest daily maximum

8-hour average concentration, averaged

over 3 years). On July 16, 2009, the EPA

announced that it would initiate a

rulemaking to reconsider the NAAQS

for various reasons, including the fact

that the 0.075 ppm level fell outside of

the range recommended by the Clean

Air Scientific Advisory Committee. The

EPA proposed reconsideration of the

NAAQS on January 6, 2010. However,

the EPA has not taken final action on

the proposed reconsideration; thus, the

current NAAQS for ozone remains at

0.075 ppm, as established in 2008. The

2008 ozone NAAQS retains the same

general form and averaging time as the

0.08 ppm NAAQS set in 1997 but is set

at a more protective level.

The EPA deferred initial designation

of areas for the 2008 ozone NAAQS

until March 12, 2011, pending the

NAAQS reconsideration.2 See 75 FR

2936, January 19, 2010. After the March

12, 2011, designation deadline passed,

WildEarth Guardians and Elizabeth

Crowe (WildEarth Guardians) filed a

lawsuit seeking to compel the EPA to

take action to designate areas for the

2008 ozone NAAQS. WildEarth

Guardians and Elizabeth Crowe v.

Jackson (D. Ariz. 11-CV-01661). The

EPA and WildEarth Guardians settled

the case by entering into a consent

decree that requires the EPA

Administrator to sign a final rule

designating areas for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS by May 31, 2012. In September

2011, the EPA reinitiated efforts 3 to

designate areas for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS, and notified states of the EPA's

preliminary designation decisions on or

about December 9, 2011. 4 On February

14, 2012, the EPA proposed this

rulemaking to address the classifications

and attainment deadlines that apply to

the areas that are designated as

nonattainment for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS. See 77 FR 8197. The public

comment period for this rule ran to

March 15, 2012. The EPA received 41

comments on the Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking. This document discusses

the comments received and how they

were considered by the EPA in general

2 The 2008 ozone NAAQS were promulgated on

March 12, 2008. The presumptive 2-year

designation requirement found in CAA

§ 107(d)(1)(B) required designations for areas by

March 12, 2010. The EPA invoked the additional

year for designations as allowed under CAA

§ 107(d)(1)(B) because we determined that due to

the reconsideration there was insufficient

information to designate areas.

terms. The Response to Comments

document provides more detailed

responses to the comments received.

The public comments received on this

rulemaking and the EPA's Response to

Comments document are posted in the

docket at www.regulations.gov.

We are taking four actions in this final

rule: (1) Establishing the air quality

thresholds that define each of the five

Clean Air Act (CAA) classifications for

areas designated nonattainment for the

2008 ozone NAAQS; (2) establishing the

attainment deadline associated with

each classification; (3) granting

reclassification for selected

nonattainment areas that voluntarily

reclassified under the 1997 ozone

NAAQS; and (4) revoking the 1997

ozone NAAQS for purposes of

transportation conformity one year after

the effective date of the designations for

the 2008 ozone NAAQS.

First, we are establishing the air

quality thresholds for classification

categories that are assigned to all areas

designated nonattainment for the 2008

ozone NAAQS according to the

"percent-above-the-standard"

methodology. In accordance with CAA

section 181(a)(1), each area designated

as nonattainment for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS will be classified by operation

of law at the same time as the area is

designated by the EPA. Under subpart 2

of part D of title I of the CAA, state

planning and emissions control

requirements for ozone are determined,

in part, by a nonattainment area's

classification. In 1990, Congress

amended part D of title I of the CAA by

adding several new subparts, including

subpart 2, which specifies

implementation requirements for ozone

nonattainment areas. For areas classified

under subpart 2, these requirements

apply in addition to the general State

Implementation Plan (SIP) planning

requirements applicable to all

nonattainment areas under subpart 1 of

part D. Under subpart 2, ozone

nonattainment areas are classified based

on the severity of their ozone levels (as

determined based on the area's "design

value." which represents air quality in

the area for the most recent 3 years). 5

The possible classifications are

Marginal, Moderate, Serious, Severe,

and Extreme. Nonattainment areas with

a "lower" classification have ozone

levels that are closer to the standard

than areas with a "higher"

classification.

5 The air quality design value for the 8-hour

ozone NAAQS is the 3-year average of the annual

4th highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone

concentration. See 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix 1.

30161
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

Areas in the lower classification

levels have fewer and/or less stringent

mandatory air quality planning and

control requirements than those in

higher classifications. For instance,

among other things, for a Marginal area

a state is required to adopt an emissions

statement rule for stationary sources,

submit a baseline emissions inventory,

and implement a nonattainment area

preconstruction permit program;

however, states are not required to

prepare an attainment demonstration

and associated contingency measures

for Marginal areas. For a Moderate area,

a state needs to comply with the

Marginal area requirements plus certain

other requirements, including the

requirement to submit a demonstration

that the area will attain in 6 years, the

requirement to adopt and implement

certain emissions controls, such as

reasonably available control technology,

a basic vehicle inspection and

maintenance program if the area meets

the applicable population threshold,

and provisions for greater emissions

offsets for new or modified sources

under the state's new source review

(NSR) program. Each higher

classification similarly requires

emissions controls and stricter NSR

offset requirements in addition to those

required for the lower classifications. In

addition, under the higher

classifications, smaller sources are

considered "major sources" for

permitting and other requirements.

Second, the EPA is setting the

attainment date as the number of years

specified in Table 1 in section 181(a)

from December 31, 2012. Because the

attainment dates established in Table 1

have all passed and application of those

dates would produce an absurd result,

the EPA must reasonably interpret Table

1 to establish attainment dates for the

2008 ozone NAAQS. We believe the

approach we are adopting is consistent

with the intent of Congress at the time

Table 1 was enacted as part of the CAA

Amendments of 1990.

Third, the EPA is addressing

situations where states have voluntarily

requested reclassifications for areas

under the 1997 ozone NAAQS. Six areas

in California and one area in Texas were

voluntarily reclassified at the request of

the states for the 1997 ozone NAAQS.

These areas have initial classifications

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS under the

percent-above-the-standard approach

we are promulgating that are higher

than their classifications under the 1997

NAAQS. In some cases, this would

result in these areas being required to

attain the more stringent 2008 ozone

NAAQS prior to the deadline associated

with the area's classification for the

1997 ozone NAAQS. The EPA proposed

to interpret the voluntary

reclassification requests for the 1997

ozone NAAQS for such areas to also

apply for the more stringent 2008 ozone

NAAQS unless the state were to

expressly request otherwise. Texas

requested that the voluntary

reclassification for the 1997 NAAQS for

the Houston area not apply for the 2008

NAAQS. California commented that it

supports the approach of applying its

requests for voluntary reclassification

for the six areas for the 1997 NAAQS to

the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The EPA is

finalizing the voluntary reclassifications

for the six California areas for the 2008

ozone NAAQS.

Fourth, in this rulemaking, the EPA is

revoking the 1997 primary and

secondary ozone NAAQS for

transportation conformity purposes

only.6 The revocation of the 1997 ozone

NAAQS for this limited purpose will

occur 1 year after the effective date of

the initial area designation for each area

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. This

approach results in only one ozone

NAAQS-the more protective 2008

ozone NAAQS-applying for purposes

of transportation conformity, after the

end of the 1-year transportation

conformity grace period that applies to

newly designated nonattainment areas.

See CAA section 176(c)(6). In the

absence of this final action, areas

currently in nonattainment or

maintenance for the 1997 ozone NAAQS

that are designated nonattainment for

the 2008 ozone NAAQS would be

required to implement the

transportation conformity program for

both the 1997 and 2008 ozone NAAQS

concurrently. The EPA intends to

address potential revocation of the 1997

ozone NAAQS for all other purposes in

a future, separate rulemaking.

III. What are the final classification

thresholds for nonattainment areas for

the 2008 ozone NAAQS?

A. Summary of Proposed Classification

Thresholds

The subpart 2 classification table in

CAA section 181(a)(1) is based on

1-hour ozone nonattainment area design

values (DVs) (i.e., beginning at a level of

0.121 ppm) because it was designed for

implementation of the 0.12 ppm 1-hour

standard, which was the effective ozone

standard when Congress added the table

to the CAA in 1990. Because the table

6 When the EPA revises a NAAQS, the prior

NAAQS is not automatically revoked. Accordingly,

both the 1997 ozone NAAQS and the more stringent

2008 ozone NAAQS are active standards unless and

until the EPA takes action to revoke the previous

1997 standard.

is based on DVs for a 0.12 ppm 1-hour

standard, the EPA recognized that it did

not make sense to apply the thresholds

listed in the table for implementing an

8-hour form of the ozone standard, first

established in 1997. See 69 FR at 23998.

We adopted by regulation a modified

version of the subpart 2 classification

table for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard

which contains 8-hour DV thresholds

for each classification, rather than the

statutory 1-hour DV thresholds. 40 CFR

51.903(a). We translated the

classification thresholds in the subpart

2 classification table from 1-hour DVs to

8-hour DVs based on the percentage by

which each classification threshold in

the table exceeds the 1-hour ozone

NAAQS. We noted that these

percentages, as established by Congress

in 1990, set the classification thresholds

at certain percentages or fractions above

the level of the standard. 7 See 69 FR at

23957. We refer to this method as the

"percent-above-the-standard" method.

We proposed to take the same approach

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. After

analyzing various alternative options,

we proposed to use the same "percentabove-the-standard" methodology as

was used for the 1997 ozone NAAQS 8

modified to account for the new level of

0.075 ppm as compared to the level of

0.08 ppm used to establish the

classification table for the 1997 ozone

NAAQS. See 77 FR at 8201-02.

The proposed percent-above-thestandard method is a simple and

straightforward method for establishing

classification thresholds that is based on

principles inherent in the subpart 2

classification table itself. The principles

include the following:

* Areas are grouped by the severity of

their air quality problem as

characterized by the degree of

nonattainment based on their DV.

* Classification would occur "by

operation of law" without relying on the

EPA exercising discretion for individual

situations (prior to any application of

the 5 percent adjustment provision

under section 181(a)(4) which may

occur in the 90-day period following

initial designations and classifications).

See section III.C of this rule for

additional details on how the EPA

intends to address previous requests for

7 The upper thresholds of the Marginal, Moderate,

Serious, and Severe classifications are precise

percentages or fractions above the level of the

standard, namely 15 percent (3/20ths more than the

standard), 33.33 percent (one-third more than the

standard), 50 percent (one-half more than the

standard), and 133.3 percent (one and one-third

more than the standard). 8 Background Information Document: Additional

Options Considered for Classification of

Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

voluntary reclassification for the 1997

ozone NAAQS.

* Classification thresholds are

derived using the same percentages

above the standard that Congress used

when promulgating Table 1 in section

181(a) for purposes of the 1-hour ozone

standard, and reflect reasonable

attainment periods for most areas that

fall into the various classifications.

B. Brief Summary of Comments on the

Proposed Rule

The EPA received several comments

on the percent-above-the-standard

methodology. Most of the commenters

supported the adoption of this

approach, stating that it was consistent

with the CAA as well as the

methodology used in the

implementation of the 1997 ozone

NAAQS. Those opposing this option did

so for a number of reasons, including

concerns that: It puts too many areas in

the "Marginal" category; the outcome of

the approach does not properly address

the role of transport in the ability of

downwind nonattainment areas to attain

by the Marginal or Moderate attainment

date; and a delay in progress will result

from Marginal areas not attaining by the

specified date in 2015.

Other commenters that did not

directly support or oppose the use of the

percent-above-the-standard

methodology suggested that the EPA

should have considered other options

such as the use of subpart 1 for

classifying areas. These comments, and

the EPA's responses, are discussed in

more detail in the Response to

Comments document in the docket.

C. Final Classification Thresholds

In this section, we describe the EPA's

methodology for establishing final

classification thresholds for purposes of

classifying ozone nonattainment areas

with respect to the 2008 ozone NAAQS

as well as the basis for the decision.

After considering the comments, the

EPA is finalizing the percent-above-thestandard methodology as proposed.

Using this approach for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS, the classification thresholds

listed for the 1-hour NAAQS in the

subpart 2 classification table are

translated into a corresponding set of

thresholds for the 2008 8-hour NAAQS

by setting threshold DVs in the new

table at the same percentages above the

2008 ozone NAAQS as the DV levels in

the subpart 2 classification table are

above the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. For

example, the threshold separating the

Marginal and Moderate classifications

in the subpart 2 classification table

(0.138 ppm) is 15 percent above the 1-

hour ozone NAAQS (0.12 ppm). Thus,

under this approach, the threshold

separating the Marginal and Moderate

classifications for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS is 0.075 ppm plus 15 percent,

or 0.086 ppm. Table 1, below, depicts

this translation for all classifications as

they apply for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.

the Chicago, IL area that is violating the 2008

NAAQS based on final 2009-2011 data. The EPA

intends to complete that action by May 31, 2012.

We anticipate that the Chicago nonattainment area

will be classified Marginal.

Note 1: The EPA relied on air quality data from 2008-2010 to develop the hypothetical nonattainment areas for purposes of the proposed rule.

Several areas, including the Chicago area, certified their 2011 air quality data early, which allowed the EPA to consider that data for purposes of

final designations. This table includes the Chicago nonattainment area in the total number of areas.

The EPA is finalizing this approach

because the percent-above-the-standard

methodology reflects the same approach

codified in the CAA, as amended in

1990. It also results in the majority of

areas receiving a classification with an

attainment date that we believe the

areas can meet. The EPA performed an

analysis that indicates that the majority

of areas classified as Marginal will be

able to attain the 2008 ozone NAAQS

within 3 years of designation (i.e., in

2015) due to reductions of ozone

precursors resulting from a number of

federal and state emission reduction

programs that have already been

adopted. 10 Such programs include more

stringent emission standards for onroad

and nonroad vehicles and equipment

(with associated fleet turnover), and

regional reductions in power plant

emissions to address interstate

transport." For areas classified

Moderate and above that are required to

develop attainment demonstrations and

adopt reasonably available control

measures, it is unlikely that already

adopted federal and existing state

measures will be sufficient to bring the

areas into attainment. The EPA did not

attempt to forecast additional federal,

regional, state or local control measures

that may be implemented prior to the

relevant attainment dates in 2018 that

might help these areas attain the

NAAQS. However, we note that the

federal and regional programs already in

place, in conjunction with others that

may be adopted in the next several

years, such as maximum achievable

control technology standards for boilers,

will help these areas make progress

toward attainment. In addition, the CAA

requires these areas to meet reasonable

progress goals out to their attainment

date and also requires these areas to

evaluate what reasonably available

control measures are available in order

to attain as expeditiously as practicable.

For these reasons, we anticipate that

these areas will be able to attain the

2008 ozone NAAQS by the attainment

date for their classification. We note, as

provided further below, several areas

with the most persistent ozone problems

are most likely not to attain by the

attainment date associated with their

classification by operation of law, and

are being voluntarily reclassified to a

higher classification in this final rule.

IV. How will areas that were

voluntarily reclassified under the 1997

ozone NAAQS be addressed?

A. Summary of Proposed

Reclassification of Selected Areas

CAA section 181(b)(3) provides that a

state may voluntarily request that the

EPA reclassify a nonattainment area

within the state to a higher

classification. The EPA has no

discretion to deny such requests. Once

an area is reclassified to a higher

classification, it becomes subject to the

associated additional planning and

control requirements for that higher

classification as well and must attain

the standard no later than the later

maximum attainment date for that

classification.

There are seven areas for which states

requested a voluntary reclassification

with respect to the 1997 ozone NAAQS.

The EPA has granted voluntary

reclassification requests for six of these

areas, and is in the process of

completing the request for one area.' 2

These areas are initially classified for

the 2008 ozone NAAQS with a lower

classification than the areas have for the

1997 ozone NAAQS. Moreover, the

maximum attainment date for the 2008

12 Ventura County, CA was reclassified from

Moderate to Serious (Approved 05/20/2008, 73 FR

Page 29073, Effective: 06/19/2008). HoustonGalveston-Brazoria, TX was reclassified from

Moderate to Severe-15 (Approved 10/01/2008, 73

FR Page 56983, Effective: 10/31/2008).

Reclassification of the Los Angeles-South Coast,

San Joaquin Valley, Riverside County, and

Sacramento Metro areas (May 5, 2010, 75 FR 24409)

became effective June 4, 2010. The EPA is in the

process of approving the requested voluntary

reclassification of West Mojave Desert, CA from

Moderate to Severe.

ozone NAAQS based on that lower

classification would be before the

maximum attainment date for the area

for the less stringent 1997 ozone

NAAQS. The EPA proposed to interpret

the voluntary reclassification requests

for the 1997 ozone NAAQS for such

areas also to apply for the more

stringent 2008 ozone NAAQS unless the

state were to expressly request

otherwise. Based on discussions with

affected areas, we believed it was

reasonable to expect that in most

instances, where a state requested a

voluntary reclassification under the less

stringent 1997 ozone NAAQS, it would

make the same request for the 2008

ozone NAAQS. The EPA proposed this

approach in order to minimize burden

on states and to address the concern that

some areas might have an earlier

attainment date for the more stringent

2008 ozone standard. Moreover, this

approach would obviate the need to

process separate voluntary

reclassification requests for the 2008

NAAQS which might have the effect of

delaying certain actions while an area's

classification was being modified.

B. Brief Summary of Comments

Received

The EPA received several comments

on the application of the voluntary

reclassification requests for the 1997

ozone NAAQS to the more stringent

2008 ozone NAAQS. Supporters of the

proposal included the affected state and

local air quality management agencies

in California. Almost all of the

commenters supporting this approach

indicated that an area that needed to

request more time to attain the 1997

ozone NAAQS would likely need

additional time to meet the more

stringent 2008 ozone NAAQS. The State

of Texas indicated that it did not want

the voluntary reclassification request for

the Houston area for the 1997 ozone

NAAQS to be interpreted to also apply

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. One

commenter questioned the authority of

the EPA to apply the reclassification

request for an area under the 1997 ozone

NAAQS to the area's classification

30164
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

under the 2008 ozone NAAQS. These

comments, and the EPA's responses, are

discussed in more detail in the

Response to Comments document in the

docket.

C. Final Action

Once the initial area designations and

classifications for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS are completed, the CAA

provides three mechanisms for

addressing nonattainment areas that

may not be attaining or are not able to

attain by the attainment date provided

for their classification. First, section

181(a)(4) provides that within 90 days of

the effective date of designation and

classification, the Administrator may

exercise discretion to reclassify an area

to a higher classification if its DV is

within 5 percent of the DV range of the

higher classification. 13 Any state

interested in taking advantage of this

flexibility should submit a request to the

EPA in sufficient time for the

Administrator to make a determination

within the 90 days provided.

The second mechanism, as provided

in section 181(b)(3), allows a state to

voluntarily request at any time that the

EPA reclassify the area to a higher

classification. The EPA has no

discretion to deny such requests. Once

an area is reclassified to a higher

classification, it becomes subject to the

associated additional planning and

control requirements for that higher

classification and must attain the

standard no later than the later

maximum attainment date for that

classification. Any state may request a

voluntary reclassification under the

2008 ozone NAAQS at any time prior to

the area's attainment deadline.

The third mechanism, as provided in

section 181(b)(2), requires that an area

be reclassified to the next higher

classification (i.e., "bumped-up") if the

EPA determines that the area has failed

to attain the standard by the area's

attainment date and does not qualify for

a 1-year attainment date extension as

allowed under CAA section 181(b)(2). 14

Areas classified as Severe are not

reclassified to Extreme, as provided

under CAA section 181(b)(2)(A), but

instead are subject to other requirements

as provided in section 181(b)(4).

The areas for which states requested

a voluntary reclassification would

initially have been classified with a

lower classification with an earlier

maximum attainment date for the more

stringent 2008 NAAQS than the area

had for the 1997 NAAQS. At the time

the EPA issued the proposed rule, we

believed it likely that these areas would

as a result have requested a similar

reclassification for the 2008 NAAQS.

The EPA is obligated to approve such

voluntary reclassification requests if

made. During the comment period, the

State of California confirmed that it

wished for the EPA to interpret its

voluntary reclassification requests for

areas within the state for the 1997 ozone

NAAQS to also apply for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS. The State of Texas indicated

that it did not wish for the EPA to

interpret its reclassification request for

the 1997 ozone NAAQS for the Houston

area as applying to the 2008 NAAQS.

Therefore, we are treating the prior

requests made for the nonattainment

areas in California listed in Table 3 as

requests that also apply to the 2008

ozone NAAQS. This final rule reduces

the burden on the State of California

and the affected air management

districts by obviating the need to go

through a separate process to request

bump-up for the 2008 NAAQS.

V. What are the attainment deadlines

for each classification?

A. Summary of Proposed Attainment

Deadlines

The CAA provides that the primary

NAAQS attainment dates for areas

subject to subpart 2 must be as

expeditious as practicable but no later

than the deadlines provided in the

subpart 2 classification table in CAA

section 181(a)(1). The deadlines for

attainment in the subpart 2

classification table are specified in

terms of a certain number of years from

the date of enactment of the 1990

Amendments to the CAA (i.e.,

13 This CAA provision also provides the same

authority for reclassifying areas to a lower

classification. Since the vast majority of

nonattainment areas for the 2008 NAAQS are

classified Marginal, very few areas are eligible to

request a reclassification to a lower classification.

We anticipate that no states will request a

November 15, 1990). For instance, the

attainment date for Moderate areas is

expressed as "6 years after November

15, 1990." Because these time periods

are clearly inappropriate for a new

ozone standard promulgated in 2008,

we proposed to interpret the attainment

deadlines in the subpart 2 classification

table as they would apply to the 2008

ozone NAAQS.

The EPA proposed two options for

establishing the maximum attainment

dates for areas in each nonattainment

classification. Under the first option, the

attainment dates would be the precise

number of years specified in Table 1

with such time period running from the

reclassification to a lower classification because our analyses indicate that these areas will need longer

than 3 years to attain the NAAQS and additional

controls will be necessary for attainment.

14We note that for purposes of the 1997 ozone

NAAQS, we promulgated a regulation interpreting

CAA section 181(b)(4) for purposes of an 8-hour

effective date of designation. Under the

second option, the attainment dates

would be December 31 of the year that

is the specified number of years in Table

1 after the effective date of designation.

The first option, which was the same

approach we took for the 1997 ozone

NAAQS, would interpret "year" in the

subpart 2 classification table to mean

consecutive 365-day periodsl 5 and we

would substitute "after the effective

date of designation" for the CAA's "after

November 15, 1990" language in the

subpart 2 classification table. Under this

approach, the attainment deadline

would fall a precise number of years

after the effective date of designation.

ozone NAAQS. 40 CFR 51.907. We anticipate that

we will propose a similar regulation for the 2008

ozone standard as part of the proposed

implementation rule.

15 Except in the case of a leap year, where the year

would be a rolling 366-day period.

30165
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

For the second option, the attainment

date would be specified as a certain

number of years from the end of the

calendar year in which an area's

nonattainment designation is effective

(i.e., from December 31, 2012). The EPA

explained in its proposal that where the

designation is effective late in the ozone

season, as we expected to be the case for

the 2008 ozone NAAQS, the first option

had the effect of providing one less

complete ozone season for areas to

improve their air quality than was

accorded areas under the CAA as

amended in 1990. We described that

under the first option, a Marginal area

effectively would have only two full

ozone seasons following the effective

date of designation to improve its air

quality in order to attain by its

attainment date. This is because

attainment is based on three full ozone

seasons of air quality data; thus in order

to attain "by" its attainment date, the

area could not consider air quality for

an ozone season during which the

attainment date falls.

We explained our belief that the

second option is consistent with the

time periods provided for attainment of

the 1-hour ozone NAAQS at the time the

CAA was amended. The CAA

Amendments were enacted on

November 15, 1990, after the end of the

ozone season for virtually all areas, and

for the few areas that had year-round

ozone seasons, the EPA interpreted the

Act to allow consideration of air quality

in the attainment year even though the

attainment date fell on November 15.

Thus, when the CAA was amended in

mid-November 1990, 1-hour Marginal

areas had three full ozone seasons to

achieve any reductions necessary for

attainment, and Moderate areas had six

full ozone seasons, because the

attainment deadline was the anniversary

of the enactment of the 1990 CAA

(November 15).

B. Brief Summary of Comments

Received

The EPA received numerous

comments on the attainment deadlines

proposal. A few commenters supported

the first option based on what they

believed to be a plain reading of the

CAA. A number of commenters opposed

the first option, because it would not

allow air quality data from the

attainment year to be used in

determining if the area attained the

NAAQS by the deadline. Most of the

commenters supported the adoption of

the second option believing that it was

most consistent with the 1990 CAA

Amendments and that it would ensure

that at least three full ozone seasons of

data following designation (2013-2015)

would be used for Marginal areas (and

six (2013-2018) for Moderate areas, etc.)

to determine attainment with the 2008

ozone NAAQS. Those opposing the

second option indicated it would result

in further delays in implementing

controls in areas required to attain the

2008 ozone NAAQS, and that it

arbitrarily endangers human health.

These comments, and the EPA's

responses, are discussed in more detail

in the Response to Comments document

in the docket.

C. Final Action

The EPA is finalizing the second

proposed option. Attainment deadlines

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS

nonattainment areas will be December

31 of the calendar year that is the

number of years specified for each

classification in Table 1 with the

number of years running from 2012. The

EPA believes that this approach is

appropriate for several reasons. First, we

believe it is consistent with the intent of

Congress at the time the CAA

Amendments of 1990 were enacted.

Since ozone seasons for most areas run

during the spring, summer and fall, 16

the CAA, as amended in 1990, allowed

Marginal areas three full ozone seasons

to attain and maintain the NAAQS (and

six full ozone seasons for Moderate

areas, etc.) after the time that areas were

designated and classified by operation

of law at the time of enactment of the

CAA Amendments. If the attainment

date runs from the effective date of

designation (i.e., mid-2012), to the

extent measures beyond federal

measures or state measures that are

already in place would be needed for

attainment of the 2008 ozone NAAQS

by Marginal areas, states would have 18

to 21 months 17 to adopt and implement

16 A few of the most southern areas in the country

do have a year-round ozone season. For purposes

of the 1-hour NAAQS, the EPA effectively

interpreted the November 15 attainment date as the

end of the calendar year (i.e., the end of calendar

years 1993, 1996, 1999, 2005, 2007 and 2010).

17 The ozone season for all areas of California,

Nevada, Arizona, Southern Texas and Southern

Louisiana starts in January, which would provide

18 months for areas classified as Marginal in such

such measures no later than the

beginning of the 2014 ozone season.

This is less time than such areas had for

purposes of the 1-hour ozone standard

under the CAA as amended in 1990. At

that time, states with Marginal areas had

over two years to adopt and implement

such measures prior to the final ozone

season used for purposes of determining

attainment.' 8 In addition, this approach

is consistent with the regulatory

provisions specifying how to determine

whether an area has attained the 2008

ozone NAAQS, which require an

evaluation of monitoring data from 3

consecutive calendar years running

from January 1 to December 31 of each

year.

Accordingly, areas initially classified

as Marginal are required to attain the

2008 ozone NAAQS no later than

December 31, 2015, and the EPA will

evaluate whether the area attained the

NAAQS based on monitored ozone data

from 2013-2015. Areas initially

classified as Moderate are required to

attain the 2008 ozone NAAQS no later

than December 31, 2018, and the EPA

will evaluate whether the area attained

the NAAQS based on monitored ozone

data from 2016-2018. Serious, Severe,

and Extreme areas are required to attain

the 2008 ozone NAAQS by December

31, 2021, 2027 and 2032, respectively.

Table 4 summarizes the final attainment

deadlines for all classification

categories.

states to adopt and implement any additional

measures needed for attainment. The ozone season

for all areas of Colorado, Northern Texas, Northern

Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida,

Tennessee and Kentucky starts in March, which

would provide 20 months for areas classified as

Marginal in such states to adopt and implement any

additional measures needed for attainment. The

ozone season for all other areas designated

nonattainment for the 2008 NAAQS begins in April,

which would provide 21 months for areas classified

as Marginal in such states to adopt and implement

any additional measures needed for attainment.

18 The same is true for the higher classifications

if the attainment date falls in the middle of the year.

For example, under Option 1, Moderate areas

would have approximately 41%z years to adopt and

implement measures necessary to attain the 2008

ozone NAAQS (i.e., no later than the beginning of

the 2016 ozone season, which would be the final

ozone season relied on for attainment), whereas at

the time of the CAA Amendments of 1990,

Moderate areas had approximately 5 years to adopt

and implement measures prior to the beginning of

the 1996 ozone season, which was the final ozone

season considered for determining whether an area

attained by the November 1996 Moderate area

attainment date.

VI. When is the EPA revoking the 1997

ozone NAAQS for transportation

conformity purposes?

A. Summary of Proposal

Transportation conformity is required

under CAA section 176(c) to ensure that

transportation plans, transportation

improvement programs (TIPs) and

federally supported highway and transit

projects are consistent with ("conform

to") the purpose of the SIP. Conformity

to the purpose of the SIP means that

transportation activities will not cause

new air quality violations, worsen

existing violations, or delay timely

attainment of the relevant NAAQS or

interim reductions and milestones. The

EPA's Transportation Conformity Rule

(40 CFR 51.390 and Part 93, subpart A)

establishes the criteria and procedures

for determining whether transportation

activities conform to the SIP.

The EPA proposed to revoke the 1997

ozone NAAQS one year after the

effective date of designations for the

2008 ozone NAAQS for transportation

conformity purposes only. As the EPA

described in the proposal, revoking the

1997 ozone NAAQS for transportation

conformity purposes would bring

certainty to the transportation planning

process in ozone nonattainment and

maintenance areas. It would also ensure

that backsliding does not occur for

purposes of transportation conformity as

areas designated nonattainment for the

2008 ozone NAAQS will be required to

use adequate or approved SIP motor

vehicle emissions budgets for the 1997

ozone NAAQS or 1-hour ozone NAAQS,

if the area has such SIP budgets for one

of these ozone NAAQS, until SIP

budgets are found adequate or are

approved for the 2008 ozone NAAQS as

required by recent court decisions

discussed below and as required by

CAA 176(c)(1) and by the transportation

conformity rule (40 CFR

93.109(c)(2)). 1 9 ,2 0 Specifically, CAA

19 A motor vehicle emissions budget is that

portion of the total allowable emissions defined in

the submitted or approved control strategy

implementation plan revision or maintenance plan

for a certain date for the purpose of meeting

reasonable further progress milestones or

demonstrating attainment or maintenance of the

section 176(c)(1) states, in part, "No

metropolitan planning organization

designated under section 134 of Title 23

shall give its approval to any project,

program, or plan which does not

conform to an implementation plan

approved or promulgated under section

7410 of this title." Under the EPA's

regulations (40 CFR 93.109(c)(2)),

adequate or approved motor vehicle

emissions budgets for a prior NAAQS

must be used in transportation

conformity determinations for a revised

NAAQS until such time that budgets for

the revised NAAQS are either found

adequate or are approved. The EPA is

finalizing this limited revocation of the

1997 ozone NAAQS at this time to

provide certainty to the transportation

planning process. In a subsequent

rulemaking the EPA will consider

whether to also revoke the 1997 ozone

NAAQS on the same timeline for all

other purposes.

This approach was the same approach

the EPA used to transition from the

1-hour ozone NAAQS to the more

stringent 1997 ozone NAAQS. For that

transition, our Phase 1 implementation

rule for the 1997 ozone NAAQS revoked

the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for all

purposes one year after the effective

date of the initial area designations for

the 1997 ozone NAAQS. See 69 FR

23954. The Phase 1 rule also established

comprehensive anti-backsliding

provisions to ensure that requirements

for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS would

continue in place as areas transitioned

to implementing the more stringent

1997 ozone NAAQS.

NAAQS, for any criteria pollutant or its precursors,

allocated to highway and transit vehicle use and

emissions.

200n March 14, 2012, the EPA finalized a

revision to the transportation conformity rule,

which among other things revised the rule to

specifically require that a nonattainment area that

has approved or adequate motor vehicle emissions

budgets in an applicable implementation plan or

implementation plan submission for another

NAAQS for the same pollutant must use those

budgets in transportation conformity

determinations until motor vehicle emissions

budgets for the current NAAQS are submitted by

the state and found adequate or are approved by the

EPA. This revision to the conformity rule was

effective on April 13, 2012. (77 FR 14979.)

The revocation of the 1-hour standard

and the associated anti-backsliding

provisions were the subject of litigation.

In its December 2006 decision on that

challenge, as modified following

rehearing, the Court held with respect to

the anti-backsliding approach for

transportation conformity that 1-hour

motor vehicle emissions budgets must

be used where such budgets have been

found adequate or approved, as part of

8-hour conformity determinations until

8-hour motor vehicle emissions budgets

are available (South Coast Air Quality

Management District v. EPA, 472 F.3d at

882). In addition, the Court affirmed

more broadly that in order for

transportation conformity

determinations to fulfill the

requirements of CAA section 176(c)(1),

motor vehicle emissions budgets for a

prior NAAQS must be used in

transportation conformity

determinations under a revised NAAQS

until emissions budgets for the revised

NAAQS are either found adequate or are

approved, but that conformity

determinations need not be made for a

revoked standard. Therefore, areas

designated nonattainment for the 2008

ozone NAAQS that have adequate or

approved SIP budgets for either the

1997 ozone NAAQS or the 1-hour ozone

NAAQS must continue to use such

budgets in transportation conformity

determinations until budgets for the

2008 ozone NAAQS are found adequate

or are approved.21

Similar to our rationale in the Phase

1 rule for implementation of the 1997

ozone NAAQS, we explained at

proposal that we believe this approach

makes the most sense because it would

result in only one ozone NAAQS-the

2008 ozone NAAQS-applying for

purposes of transportation conformity,

after the end of the 1-year transportation

conformity grace period that applies to

newly designated nonattainment areas

(CAA section 176(c)(6)). If the 1997

21 Areas without adequate or approved SIP

budgets for either the 1997 ozone NAAQS or the

1-hour ozone NAAQS are required to demonstrate

conformity using one or both of the interim

emissions tests depending on their classification as

required by 40 CFR 93.119.

30167
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

ozone NAAQS were to remain in place

after conformity applies for the 2008

ozone NAAQS, metropolitan planning

organizations and other state, local, and

federal transportation and air quality

agencies in areas that are currently

nonattainment or maintenance for the

1997 ozone NAAQS and will be

designated nonattainment for the 2008

ozone NAAQS would be required to

implement the transportation

conformity program for both ozone

NAAQS concurrently. This could lead

to unnecessary complexity for

conformity determinations, especially if

an area's boundaries for the two ozone

NAAQS differ from one another and the

same test of conformity cannot be used

for both ozone NAAQS. Even where an

area's boundaries are unchanged,

different analysis years under the

conformity rules may be required for

each ozone NAAQS. Furthermore, we

believe that it is more important to

determine conformity for the new 2008

ozone NAAQS that is more protective of

health and welfare. Therefore, for

transportation conformity purposes, this

final rule provides a seamless transition

from demonstrating conformity for the

1997 ozone NAAQS to demonstrating

conformity for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.

Revoking the 1997 ozone NAAQS one

year after the effective date of

designations for the limited purpose of

transportation conformity would leave

no gap in conformity's application in

any 2008 ozone nonattainment area.

B. Final Date for Revoking the 1997

Ozone NAAQS for Transportation

Conformity Purposes

The EPA received many comments

regarding the revocation of the 1997

ozone NAAQS for purposes of

transportation conformity. Most of the

commenters supported revoking the

1997 ozone NAAQS for transportation

conformity purposes one year after the

effective date of designations for the

2008 ozone NAAQS, as proposed,

because this would minimize the

burden on states, and focus efforts on

the more stringent 2008 ozone NAAQS.

Those opposing this option did so as a

result of concerns about backsliding and

the legality of revoking the 1997 ozone

NAAQS at all. Several other comments

were received that were directed at

topics such as general conformity and

revocation of the 1997 ozone NAAQS

for other purposes that will be

addressed in a subsequent rule

addressing SIP requirements for the

2008 ozone NAAQS. These comments,

and the EPA's responses, are discussed

in more detail in the Response to

Comments document in the docket.

After considering the comments and for

the reasons described above, the EPA is

finalizing the proposed revocation.

This final rule does not revoke the

1997 ozone NAAQS for purposes other

than transportation conformity. A

subsequent proposal addressing SIP

requirements for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS will cover the broader antibacksliding requirements that might

apply if the 1997 standard is revoked for

purposes other than transportation

conformity.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order

Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory

Planning and Review and Executive

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and

Regulatory Review

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).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

This action does not impose an

information collection burden under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is

defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

The final Classifications Rule for the

2008 ozone NAAQS establishes the air

quality thresholds associated with each

classification, which is assigned by

operation of law at the time of

designation as provided in section

181(a) of the CAA. It also reclassifies six

areas in California to a higher

classification, consistent with the State

of California's previous request to

reclassify such areas for the 1997 ozone

NAAQS. This rule establishes the

attainment date as December 31st of the

year that is the number of years

specified in Table 1 in CAA section

182(a) running from the year of

designation (i.e., 2012). This rule also

revokes the 1997 ozone NAAQS for

transportation conformity purposes

only. This limited revocation will bring

certainty to the transportation

conformity process consistent with prior

court decisions and CAA section 176(c).

This rule, in conjunction with another

implementation rule we plan to propose

in the future, will help states identify

planning requirements that apply for

purposes of attaining and maintaining

the 2008 ozone NAAQS. No new

information needs to be collected from

the states as a result of this final rule.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

generally requires an agency to prepare

a regulatory flexibility analysis of any

regulation subject to notice and

comment rulemaking requirements

under the Administrative Procedures

Act or any other statute unless the

agency certifies the rule will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

Small entities include small businesses,

small organizations, and small

governmental jurisdictions.

For purposes of assessing the impacts

of these final rules on small entities,

small entity is defined as: (1) A small

business as defined in the Small

Business Administration's (SBA)

regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a

small governmental jurisdiction that is a

government of a city, county, town,

school district or special district with a

population of less than 50,000; and

(3) a small organization that is any notfor-profit enterprise which is

independently owned and operated and

is not dominant in its field.

The CAA requires the EPA to

designate areas and provides for

nonattainment areas to be classified by

operation of law at the time of

designation, and allows areas to request

reclassification to a higher

classification. This rule establishes the

thresholds that define these initial

classifications and reclassifies some

areas, and also establishes the

attainment deadline for each

classification. The CAA also requires

that nonattainment and maintenance

areas make transportation conformity

determinations. This rule revokes the

1997 ozone NAAQS one year after the

effective date of designations so that

areas designated nonattainment for the

2008 ozone NAAQS are required to

address conformity requirements for

only the more protective 2008 ozone

NAAQS.

After considering the economic

impacts of this final rule on small

entities, the EPA certifies that this

action will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. This final rule

will not impose any requirements on

small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

This action contains no federal

mandate under the provisions of Title II

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538 for

state, local, and tribal governments, in

the aggregate, or the private sector. This

action imposes no enforceable duty on

any state, local or tribal governments or

the private sector. Therefore, this action

is not subject to the requirements of

section 202 and 205 of the UMRA.

30168
Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 98/Monday, May 21, 2012/Rules and Regulations

This action is not subject to the

requirements of section 203 of UMRA

because it contains no regulatory

requirements that might significantly or

uniquely affect small governments.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

This action does not have federalism

implications. It will 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. The

requirements to designate

nonattainment areas, which are then

classified by operation of law, as well as

the requirement to grant reclassification

requests are imposed by the CAA. Thus,

Executive Order 13132 does not apply

to these final regulations.

Although this action does not have

federalism implications as defined in

Executive Order 13132, the EPA

recognizes that the adoption in 2008 of

the more health-protective ozone

standard has triggered CAA

requirements for state agencies

responsible for managing air quality

programs. Under the CAA, achieving

these health benefits requires the

combined efforts of the federal, state,

and local governments, each

accomplishing the tasks for which they

are best suited. In the spirit of Executive

Order 13132 and consistent with the

EPA policy to promote communications

between the EPA and state and local

governments, the EPA solicited

comments on the proposal to this final

rule from state and local officials.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation

and Coordination With Indian Tribal

Governmen ts

This action does not have tribal

implications, as specified in Executive

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,

2000). The final rules do not have a

substantial direct effect on one or more

Indian tribes under these regulatory

revisions, and does not significantly or

uniquely affect the communities of

Indian tribal governments. Furthermore,

these final regulatory revisions do not

affect the relationship or distribution of

power and responsibilities between the

federal government and Indian tribes.

The CAA and the Tribal Air Rule

establish the relationship of the federal

government and tribes in developing

plans to attain the NAAQS, and these

revisions to the regulations do nothing

to modify that relationship. These

proposed regulatory revisions do not

have tribal implications. Thus,

Executive Order 13175 does not apply

to this action.

The EPA solicited comment on the

proposal for this final action from tribal

officials.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of

Children From Environmental Health

and Safety Risks

The EPA interprets Executive Order

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as

applying only to those regulatory

actions that concern health or safety

risks, such that the analysis required

under section 5-501 of the Executive

Order has the potential to influence the

regulation. This action is not subject to

Executive Order 13045 because it does

not establish an environmental standard

intended to mitigate health or safety

risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions

Concerning Regulations That

Significantly Affect Energy Supply,

Distribution, or Use

This action is not subject to Executive

Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22,

2001)), because it is not a significant

regulatory action under Executive Order

12866.

L National Technology Transfer and

Advancement Act

Section 12(d) of the National

Technology Transfer Advancement Act

of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113,

section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)

directs the EPA to use voluntary

consensus standards in its regulatory

activities unless to do so would be

inconsistent with applicable law or

otherwise impractical. The voluntary

consensus standards are technical

standards (e.g., materials specifications,

test methods, sampling procedures, and

business practices) that are developed or

adopted by voluntary consensus

standards bodies. NTTAA directs the

EPA to provide Congress, through OMB,

explanations when the agency decides

not to use available and applicable

voluntary consensus standards.

These final revisions to the

regulations do not involve technical

standards. Therefore, the EPA did not

consider the use of any voluntary

consensus standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal

Actions To Address Environmental

Justice in Minority Populations and

Low-Income Populations

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629

(Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal

executive policy on environmental

justice. Its main provision directs

federal agencies, to the greatest extent

practicable and permitted by law, to

make environmental justice part of their

mission by identifying and addressing,

as appropriate, disproportionately high

and adverse human health or

environmental effects of their programs,

policies, and activities on minority

populations and low-income

populations in the United States.

The EPA has determined that this

final rule will not have

disproportionately high and adverse

human health or environmental effects

on minority or low-income populations

because it does not affect the level of

protection provided to human health or

the environment. The final regulations

establish classification thresholds and

attainment deadlines for designated

nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone

NAAQS, which are designed to protect

all segments of the general populations.

As such, they do not adversely affect the

health or safety of minority or lowincome populations and are designed to

protect and enhance the health and

safety of these and other populations.

Today's action also revokes the 1997

ozone NAAQS for transportation

conformity purposes only. Such a

revocation would not lead to

disproportionately high and adverse

human health or environmental effects

on minority or low-income populations

as the CAA requires transportation

conformity to apply in any area that is

designated nonattainment or

maintenance by the EPA. This final rule

ensures that transportation conformity

is demonstrated in all areas that are

designated nonattainment for the more

protective 2008 ozone NAAQS.

K. Congressional Review Act

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. The 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). This rule will be effective 60 day

s after publication in the Federal

Register.
