Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 52 / Wednesday, March 18, 2015 / Proposed Rules 14041 

paragraph (h)(5). This paragraph defines 

‘‘regulated NSR pollutant’’ for new 

sources seeking minor permits under 18 

AAC 50.502 by adopting by reference 

the Federal definition of ‘‘regulated NSR 

pollutant’’ at 40 CFR 52.21(b)(50). This 

is not a substantive change to Alaska’s 

minor NSR program because this 

definition was previously included in 

18 AAC 50.900. 

F. 18 AAC 50.990—Definitions 

The July 1, 2014, submittal revised 

the definition of ‘‘fugitive emissions’’ at 

18 AAC 50.990(40) to have the meaning 

given in 40 CFR 51.166(b)(20), as 

revised as of July 1, 2012. The October 

24, 2014, submittal repealed the 

definition of ‘‘regulated NSR pollutant’’ 

at 18 AAC 50.990(92). This action does 

not address these changes because we 

previously approved them on January 7, 

2015 (80 FR 832). 

The July 1, 2014, submittal also 

updated the citation date for the 

incorporation by reference of the 

Federal definition of ‘‘volatile organic 

compound’’ (VOC). The submittal 

revised 18 AAC 50.990(121) to define 

‘‘VOC’’ as the meaning given in 40 CFR 

51,100(s) as of April 18, 2013. We note 

that the Federal definition has been 

revised since April 18, 2013. 

Specifically, on October 22, 2013, the 

EPA removed constituents from the 

definition of VOC (78 FR 62451). While 

the definition in Alaska’s rule is not 

identical to the Federal definition, the 

Alaska definition is more stringent and 

therefore approvable. 

III. Proposed Action 

The EPA is proposing to approve and 

incorporate by reference into the Alaska 

SIP changes to the following provisions 

submitted on July 1, 2014 and October 

24, 2014: 

• 18 AAC 50.015 ‘‘Air Quality 

Designations, Classifications, and 

Control Regions’’ (State effective 10/6/

2013); 

• 18 AAC 50.040 ‘‘Federal Standards 

Adopted by Reference’’ (State effective 

10/6/2013); 

• 18 AAC 50.225 ‘‘Owner-Requested 

Limits’’ (State effective 10/6/2013); 

• 18 AAC 50.260 ‘‘Guidelines for Best 

Available Retrofit Technology under the 

Regional Haze Rule’’ (State effective 10/ 

6/2013); 

• 18 AAC 50.502 ‘‘Minor Permits for 

Air Quality Protection’’ (State effective 

11/9/2014); and 

• 18 AAC 50.990 ‘‘Definitions’’ (State 

effective 11/9/2014). 

We have made the preliminary 

determination that the submitted SIP 

revisions are approvable because they 

are consistent with section 110 and part 

C of title I of the CAA. We note that this 

action does not address the submitted 

revisions related to Alaska’s 

nonattainment NSR permitting program 

because we approved those changes on 

January 7, 2015 (80 FR 832). 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is proposing to 

include in a final rule regulatory text 

that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

the provisions described above in 

Section III. Proposed Action. The EPA 

has made, and will continue to make, 

these documents generally available 

electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

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

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed 

action merely approves state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

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

January 21, 2011); 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

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

• is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

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

• is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

it does not involve technical standards; 

and 

• does not provide the EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where the EPA or 

an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), nor will it impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law.

proposed determination is based upon 

complete, quality-assured, and certified 

ambient air monitoring data that shows 

the Area has monitored attainment of 

the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the 

2012–2014 monitoring period. If this 

proposal becomes final, the requirement

contingency measures related to 

attainment of the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS shall be suspended for so long 

as the Area continues to attain the 2008 

8-hour ozone NAAQS. This action does 

not constitute a redesignation to 

attainment. The Baltimore Area will 

remain nonattainment for the 2008 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS until such time as 

EPA determines that the Baltimore Area 

meets the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requirements for redesignation to 

attainment, including an approved 

maintenance plan. This action is being 

taken under the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On March 12, 2008, 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 three 

years) to provide increased protection of 

public health and the environment. 73 

FR 16436 (March 27, 2008).1 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. On May 21, 

2012 (77 FR 30088), effective July 20, 

2012, EPA designated as nonattainment 

any area that was violating the 2008 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS based on the three 

most recent years (2008–2010) of air 

monitoring data. The Baltimore Area 

(specifically, Anne Arundel County, 

Baltimore City, Baltimore County, 

Carroll County, Harford County, and 

Howard County) was designated as a 

moderate ozone nonattainment area. See 

40 CFR 81.321. Moderate areas are 

required to attain the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS by no later than six years after 

the effective date of designations, or July 

20, 2018. See 40 CFR 51.903. Air quality 

monitoring data from the 2012–2014 

monitoring period indicate that the 

Baltimore Area is now attaining the 

2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

Under the provisions of EPA’s ozone 

implementation rule (40 CFR 51.918), if 

EPA issues a determination that an area 

is attaining the relevant standard 

(through a rulemaking that includes 

public notice and comment), it will 

suspend the area’s obligations to submit 

an attainment demonstration, RACM, 

RFP, contingency measures and other 

planning requirements related to 

attainment of the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS for as long as the area continues 

to attain the standard. This suspension 

remains in effect until such time, if ever, 

that EPA (i) redesignates the area to 

attainment at which time those 

requirements no longer apply, or (ii) 

subsequently determines that the area 

has violated the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS. Although these requirements 

are suspended, EPA is not precluded 

from acting upon these elements at any 

time if submitted to EPA for review and 

approval. The determination of 

attainment is not equivalent to a 

redesignation under section 107(d)(3) of 

the CAA. The designation status of the 

Baltimore Area will remain 

nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS until such time as EPA 

determines that the Area meets the CAA 

requirements for redesignation to 

attainment, including an approved 

maintenance plan. Additionally, the 

determination of attainment is separate 

from, and does not influence or 

otherwise affect, any future designation 

determination or requirements for the 

Baltimore Area based on any new or 

revised ozone NAAQS, and it remains 

in effect regardless of whether EPA 

designates this Area as a nonattainment 

area for purposes of any new or revised 

ozone NAAQS. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation 

For ozone, an area may be considered 

to be attaining the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS if there are no violations, as 

determined in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 50, based on three complete, 

consecutive calendar years of qualityassured ambient air monitoring data. 

Under EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 

50, the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS is 

attained when the 3-year average of the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 52 / Wednesday, March 18, 2015 / Proposed Rules 14043 

annual fourth-highest daily maximum 8- 

hour average ozone concentrations at an 

ozone monitor is less than or equal to 

0.075 ppm. See 40 CFR part 50, 

appendix P. This 3-year average is 

referred to as the design value. When 

the design value is less than or equal to 

0.075 ppm at each monitor within the 

area, then the area is attaining the 

NAAQS. Also, the data completeness 

requirement is met when the average 

percent of days with valid ambient 

monitoring data is greater than or equal 

to 90 percent (%), and no single year 

has less than 75% data completeness as 

determined in appendix P of 40 CFR 

part 50. The data must be collected and 

quality-assured in accordance with 40 

CFR part 58, and recorded in the EPA 

Air Quality System (AQS). 

EPA has reviewed the complete, 

quality-assured and certified ozone 

ambient air monitoring data for the 

monitoring period for 2012–2014 for the 

Baltimore Area. The design values for 

each monitor for the years 2012–2014 

are less than or equal to 0.075 ppm, and 

all monitors meet the data completeness 

requirements (see Table 1). Based on 

this 2012–2014 data from the AQS 

database and consistent with the 

requirements contained in 40 CFR part 

50, EPA has concluded that this Area 

attained the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

0884. 

III. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to make a 

determination that the Baltimore Area 

has attained the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS. This proposed determination 

is based upon complete, qualityassured, and certified ambient air 

monitoring data that show the Baltimore 

Area has monitored attainment of the 

2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the 

2012–2014 monitoring period. Once this 

proposal is final, the requirement for 

this Area to submit an attainment 

demonstration, RACM, a RFP plan, 

contingency measures, and other 

planning requirements related to 

attainment of the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS shall be suspended for so long 

as the Baltimore Area continues to 

attain the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

Although these requirements are 

suspended, EPA is not precluded from 

acting upon these elements at any time 

if submitted to EPA for review and 

approval. Finalizing this determination 

does not constitute a redesignation of 

the Baltimore Area to attainment for the 

2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS under CAA 

section 107(d)(3). This determination of 

attainment also does not involve 

approving any maintenance plan for the 

Baltimore Area and does not determine 

that the Baltimore Area has met all the 

requirements for redesignation under 

the CAA, including that the attainment 

be due to permanent and enforceable 

measures. Therefore, the designation 

status of the Baltimore Area will remain 

nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS until such time as EPA 

takes final rulemaking action to 

determine that such Area meets the 

CAA requirements for redesignation to 

attainment. EPA is soliciting public 

comments on the issues discussed in 

this document. These comments will be 

considered before taking final action. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action proposes to make an 

attainment determination based on air 

quality data and would, if finalized, 

result in the suspension of certain 

Federal requirements and would not 

impose any additional requirements. 

For that reason, this proposed action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

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

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

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

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposed rule, 

concerning a determination of 

attainment for the 2008 ozone NAAQS 

for the Baltimore Area, does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) is not 

approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law.

Review 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing a limited 

approval and limited disapproval of 

revisions to the Arizona Department of 

Environmental Quality (ADEQ) portion 

of the applicable state implementation 

plan (SIP) for the State of Arizona. 

These revisions are primarily intended 

to serve as a replacement of ADEQ’s 

existing SIP-approved rules for the 

issuance of New Source Review (NSR) 

permits for stationary sources, including 

but not limited to review and permitting 

of major sources and major 

modifications under the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or Act). After a lengthy 

stakeholder process, the State of 

Arizona developed and submitted a 

NSR program for SIP approval that 

satisfies most of the applicable Clean 

Air Act and NSR regulatory 

requirements, and will significantly 

update ADEQ’s existing SIP-approved 

NSR program. It also represents an 

overall strengthening of ADEQ’s SIPapproved NSR program by clarifying 

and enhancing the NSR permitting 

requirements for major and minor 

stationary sources. This proposed action 

will update the applicable plan and set 

the stage for remedying certain 

deficiencies in these rules. We are 

seeking comment on our proposed 

action and plan to follow with a final 

action.
