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. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by October 20, 2014. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

A. What negative declarations did the 

State submit? 

On February 13, 2014 PCAPCD 

adopted 16 negative declarations and 

stated that it did not have sources 

subject to the Control Techniques 

Guidelines (CTG) documents listed in 

Table 1. On April 14, 2014, the 

California Air Resources Board (CARB) 

submitted these negative declarations to

On June 24, 2014, EPA determined 

that the PCAPCD negative declarations 

submitted on April 14, 2014, met the 

completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51 

Appendix V, which must be met before 

formal EPA review. 

B. Are there other versions of these 

negative declarations? 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 160 / Tuesday, August 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 48997 

1PCAPCD adopted other negative declarations in 

the past. On October 7, 1997, PCAPCD adopted 

negative declarations to comply with the 1990 

Clean Air Act Amendments. We approved these 

into the SIP on September 23, 1998 (63 FR 50766). 

On December 14, 2006, PCAPCD adopted additional 

negative declarations to comply with the 1997 8- 

hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards and CARB submitted them to us on July 

11, 2007. While we have not acted on this earlier 

submittal, we have reviewed materials provided 

with it. 

There are no previous versions of 

PCAPCD’s 2014 negative declarations in 

the SIP.1

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

negative declarations? 

The negative declarations were 

submitted to meet the requirements of 

CAA section 182(b)(2). Ozone 

nonattainment areas classified at 

moderate and above are required to 

adopt VOC regulations for the published 

CTG categories and for major non-CTG 

sources of VOC or NOX. If an ozone 

nonattainment area does not have 

stationary sources covered by an EPA 

published CTG, then the area is required 

to submit a negative declaration. The 

negative declarations were submitted 

because there are no stationary sources 

exceeding the CTG’s applicability 

threshold within the PCAPCD 

jurisdiction. EPA’s technical support 

document (TSD) has more information 

about these negative declarations. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is EPA evaluating the negative 

declarations? 

The negative declarations are 

submitted as SIP revisions and must be 

consistent with CAA requirements for 

Reasonably Available Control 

Technology (RACT) (see section 

182(b)(2)) and SIP relaxation (see 

sections 110(l) and 193.) To do so, the 

submittal should provide reasonable 

assurance that no sources subject to the 

CTG requirements currently exist or are 

planned for the PCAPCD. 

B. Do the negative declarations meet the 

evaluation criteria? 

We believe these negative 

declarations are consistent with the 

relevant policy and guidance regarding 

RACT and SIP relaxations. The TSD has 

more information on our evaluation. 

C. EPA’s Recommendations 

We note that in 2006, PCAPCD 

adopted a negative declaration for the 

Polyester Resin category, but that this 

category did not appear in the current 

submittal. The District should submit a 

negative declaration for the following 

CTGs if there are no sources in the 

District subject to the CTGs. EPA–450/ 

3–83–008—Control of VOC Emissions 

from Manufacture of High-Density 

Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and 

Polystyrene Resins; and 

EPA–450/3–83–006—Control of VOC 

Fugitive Emissions from Synthetic 

Organic Chemical Polymer and Resin 

Manufacturing Equipment. 

D. Public Comment and Final Action 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, EPA is fully approving the 

submitted negative declarations as 

additional information to the SIP 

because we believe they fulfill all 

relevant requirements. We do not think 

anyone will object to this approval, so 

we are finalizing it without proposing it 

in advance. However, in the Proposed 

Rules section of this Federal Register, 

we are simultaneously proposing 

approval of these negative declarations. 

If we receive adverse comments by 

September 18, 2014, we will publish a 

timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register to notify the public that the 

direct final approval will not take effect 

and we will address the comments in a 

subsequent final action based on the 

proposal. If we do not receive timely 

adverse comments, the direct final 

approval will be effective without 

further notice on October 20, 2014. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act 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 Clean Air Act. 

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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, 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. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
48998 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 160 / Tuesday, August 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

appropriate circuit by October 20, 2014. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this action for 

the purposes of judicial review nor does 

it extend the time within which a 

petition for judicial review may be filed, 

and shall not postpone the effectiveness 

of such rule or action. Parties with 

objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in 

response to the parallel notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this action 

published in the Proposed Rules section 

of today’s Federal Register, rather than 

file an immediate petition for judicial 

review of this direct final rule, so that 

EPA can withdraw this direct final rule 

and address the comment in the 

proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements (see section 

307(b)(2)).
