* ...... Federally promulgated rules in place. 

** ..... Previously discussed in element (C). 

To clarify, EPA is proposing to 

disapprove the infrastructure SIP 

submission from Illinois with respect to 

certain PSD requirements including: (i) 

The explicit identification of NOX as a 

precursor to ozone consistent with the 

Phase 2 Rule; (ii) the explicit 

identification of SO2 and NOX as PM2.5

precursors (and the significant 

emissions rates for direct PM2.5, and SO2

and NOX as its precursors), and the 

regulation of PM2.5 and PM10

condensables, consistent with the 

requirements of the 2008 NSR Rule; (iii) 

the PM2.5 increments and associated 

implementation rules consistent with 

the 2010 NSR Rule; and, (iv) permitting 

of GHG emitting sources at the Federal 

Tailoring Rule thresholds. 

EPA is also proposing to disapprove 

the infrastructure SIP submission from 

with respect to the requirements of 

section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) related to 

interstate pollution abatement. 

Specifically, this section requires states 

with PSD programs have provisions 

requiring a new or modified source to 

notify neighboring states of the potential 

impacts from the source, consistent with 

the requirements of section 126(a). 

However, Illinois has no further 

obligations to EPA because Federally 

promulgated rules, promulgated at 40 

CFR 52.21 are in effect in the state. EPA 

has delegated the authority to Illinois to 

administer these rules, which include 

provisions related to PSD and interstate 

pollution abatement. A final 

disapproval for Illinois for these 

infrastructure SIP requirements will not 

result in sanctions under section 179(a), 

nor will it obligate EPA to promulgate 

a Federal implementation plan within 

two years of final action if the state does 

not submit revisions to its PSD SIPs 

addressing these deficiencies. Instead, 

Illinois is already administering the 

Federally promulgated PSD regulations. 

VI. 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, 

EPA’s role is to approve State choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves State law as meeting 

Federal requirements and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by State law. For that 

reason, this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ 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 rule does not have 

Tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the 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.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Illinois; 

Latham Pool Adjusted Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving a request 

submitted by the Illinois Environmental 

Protection Agency on January 8, 2014, 

to revise the Illinois State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) for volatile 

organic matter (VOM). The approval 

revises the Illinois SIP by substituting a 

new party as the holder of the adjusted 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

40702 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 134 / Monday, July 14, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

standard for VOM granted to Royal 

Fiberglass Pools, Inc. (Royal), for the 

facility located in Dix, Illinois. EPA 

approved the adjusted standard for 

Royal on June 27, 2011. Due to a change 

in ownership, the facility is now owned 

by Latham Pool Products, Inc., d/b/a 

Viking Pools. The revision amends the 

adjusted standard for VOM currently 

approved in the SIP for the facility to 

reflect the change in ownership. This 

revision does not change any of the 

VOM control requirements and will not 

result in an increase in VOM emissions 

at the facility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules section of this Federal Register, 

EPA is approving the State’s SIP 

submittal as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because EPA views this 

as a noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this rule, no further activity 

is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse 

comments, the direct final rule will be 

withdrawn and all public comments 

received will be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. Please note 

that if EPA receives adverse comment 

on an amendment, paragraph, or section 

of this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. For additional 

information, see the direct final rule 

which is located in the Rules section of 

this Federal Register.

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, Placer County 

Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) 

and South Coast Air Quality

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Placer County Air 

Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) and 

South Coast Air Quality Management 

District (SCAQMD) portions of the

organic compound (VOC) emissions 

from the manufacture of medium 

density fiberboard, melamine and 

phenol resins used in plasticizing paper 

and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions 

from stationary internal combustion 

engines. We are proposing to rescind 

local rules that regulate these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or the Act).
