# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

# ACTION:

Proposed rule; consistency update.

# SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to update a portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations. Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to remain consistent with the requirements of the corresponding onshore area (COA), as mandated by section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The portion of the OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements for OCS sources for which Virginia is the designated COA. The Commonwealth of Virginia's requirements discussed in this document are proposed to be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations and listed in the appendix to the OCS air regulations.

# DATES:

Written comments must be received on or before March 14, 2022.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Background

                    On September 4, 1992, EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55,[1]                                          which                           ( print page 7791)                        established requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources in order to attain and maintain federal and state ambient air quality standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of title I of the CAA. The regulations at 40 CFR part 55 apply to all OCS sources except those located in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude. See 40 CFR 55.3(a). Section 328 of the CAA requires that for such sources located within 25 miles of a state's seaward boundary, the requirements shall be the same as would be applicable if the sources were located in the COA. Because the OCS requirements are based on onshore requirements, and onshore requirements may change, section 328(a)(1) requires that EPA update the OCS requirements as necessary to maintain consistency with onshore requirements.                

Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12, consistency reviews will occur: (1) At least annually where an OCS activity is occurring within 25 miles of a State seaward boundary; (2) upon receipt of a Notice of Intent (NOI) under 40 CFR 55.4; or (3) when a state or local agency submits a rule to EPA to be considered for incorporation by reference in 40 CFR part 55. This proposed action is being done as part of an annual review because of OCS activity occurring within 25 miles of Virginia's seaward boundary—in particular the Dominion Energy Virginia 12-megawatt offshore wind technology testing facility located approximately 24 nautical miles east of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Public comments received in writing within 30 days of publication of this document will be considered by EPA before publishing a final rule.

Section 328(a) of the CAA requires that EPA establish requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of States' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist onshore. This limits EPA's flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated into 40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive changes to the requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be incorporating rules into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform to all of EPA's state implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements of the CAA. Consistency updates may result in the inclusion of state or local rules or regulations into 40 CFR part 55, even though the same rules may ultimately be disapproved for inclusion as part of the SIP. Inclusion in the OCS rule does not imply that a rule meets the requirements of the CAA for SIP approval, nor does it imply that the rule will be approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP.

## II. EPA Analysis

                    EPA reviewed Virginia's rules for inclusion in 40 CFR part 55 to ensure that they are rationally related to the attainment or maintenance of federal or state ambient air quality standards and compliance with part C of title I of the CAA, that they are not designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of the OCS, and that they are potentially applicable to OCS sources. See 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also evaluated the rules to ensure they are not arbitrary or capricious. See 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded administrative or procedural rules, and requirements that regulate toxics which are not related to the attainment and maintenance of federal and state ambient air quality standards.[2] 

## III. Proposed Action

EPA last did a consistency update for Virginia on October 21, 2019 (84 FR 56121). In that action, EPA incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55 all Virginia regulations that EPA believed were relevant to the OCS requirements. For this action, EPA has reviewed changes that Virginia has made to its underlying regulatory programs. This action will have no effect on any provisions that were not subject to changes by Virginia and were also previously incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55 through EPA's October 21, 2019 rulemaking. The rules that EPA proposes to incorporate are applicable provisions of the Virginia Administrative Code (VAC). The intended effect of proposing approval of the OCS requirements for the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements for onshore sources. The Virginia regulatory changes EPA proposes to incorporate are:

(1) Chapter 20, General Provisions—9VAC5-20-21, Documents incorporated by reference;

(2) Chapter 50, New and Modified Stationary Sources—9VAC5-50-400. General;

(3) Chapter 60, Hazardous Air Pollutant Sources—9VAC5-60-60. General;

(4) Chapter 60, Hazardous Air Pollutant Sources—9VAC5-60-90. General.

EPA is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this document. These comments will be considered before taking final action.

## IV. Incorporation by Reference

                    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference the applicable provisions of the Virginia Administrative Code set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials available through                     *www.regulations.gov*                     and at the EPA Region III Office (please contact the person identified in the                     **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**                     section of this preamble for more information).                

## V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to establish requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore air pollution control requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate, the EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist onshore. See 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, in promulgating OCS consistency updates, EPA's role is to maintain consistency between OCS regulations and the regulations of onshore areas, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action simply updates the existing OCS requirements that have been revised since the last consistency review to make them consistent with requirements onshore, without the exercise of any policy direction by EPA. 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 (PRA) ( 44 U.S.C. 3501  et seq. );                
    - Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a       ( print page 7792)                          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).

This proposed rulemaking incorporating by reference sections of the Virginia Administrative Code, does not apply on any Indian reservation land as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151 or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, this rule incorporating by reference sections of the Virginia Administrative Code does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

                    This action does not impose any new information collection burden under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection activities contained in the existing regulations at 40 CFR part 55 and, by extension, this update to part 55, and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0249. This action does not impose a new information burden under PRA because this action only updates the state rules that are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55, appendix A.[3] 

EPA is proposing to incorporate the rules potentially applicable to sources for which the Commonwealth of Virginia will be the COA that have been revised since the last consistency review. The rules that EPA proposes to incorporate are applicable provisions of the Virginia Administrative Code.
