# ACTION:

Final rule.

# SUMMARY:

                        The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing an update of a portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations proposed in the                         **Federal Register**                         on November 23, 2021. 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 the State of New Jersey is the COA. The intended effect of approving the OCS requirements for the State of New Jersey is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements onshore. The requirements discussed below will be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations and are listed in the appendix to the OCS air regulations.                    

# DATES:

This final rule is effective on April 4, 2022.

# ADDRESSES:

                        The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID Number EPA-R02-OAR-2021-0747. All documents in the docket are listed on the                         *http://www.regulations.gov*                         website.

## I. What is the background for this action?

                    On November 23, 2021, EPA proposed to incorporate requirements into the OCS Air Regulations at 40 CFR part 55 [1]                                          pertaining to the State of New Jersey.                     *See*86 FR 66505. Section 328(a) of the CAA requires that for such OCS 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 corresponding onshore area (COA). Because the OCS requirements are based on onshore requirements, and onshore requirements may change, CAA section 328(a)(1) requires that the EPA update the OCS requirements as necessary to maintain consistency with onshore requirements.                

To comply with this statutory mandate, the EPA must incorporate by reference into part 55 all relevant state rules in effect for onshore sources, so they can be applied to OCS sources located offshore. 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. Inclusion in the OCS rules 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.

40 CFR 55.12 specifies certain times at which part 55's incorporation by reference of a state's rules must be updated. One time such a “consistency update” must occur is when any OCS source applicant submits a Notice of Intent (NOI) under 40 CFR 55.4 for a new or a modified OCS source. 40 CFR 55.4(a) requires that any OCS source applicant must submit to EPA a NOI before performing any physical change or change in method of operation that results in an increase in emissions. EPA must conduct any necessary consistency update when it receives a NOI, and prior to receiving any application for a preconstruction permit from the OCS source applicant. 40 CFR 55.6(b)(2) and 55.12(f).

On September 14, 2021, the EPA received a NOI from Ocean Wind, LLC to submit an OCS air permit application for the construction and operation of a new OCS source (a wind energy project) about 15 miles offshore New Jersey.

                    The EPA reviewed the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) air rules currently in effect, to ensure that they are rationally related to the attainment or maintenance of Federal and State Ambient Air Quality Standards (AAQS) or 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 applicable to OCS sources.                     *See*40 CFR 55.1. The EPA has also evaluated the rules to ensure they are not arbitrary and capricious.                     *See*40 CFR 55.12(e). The EPA has excluded New Jersey's administrative or procedural rules,[2]                                          and                           ( print page 11962)                        requirements that regulate toxics which are not related to the attainment and maintenance of Federal and State AAQS.                

## II. What comments were received in response to the EPA's proposed action?

The EPA did not receive any comments on the November 23, 2021, proposal to update a portion of the OCS Air Regulations to incorporate requirements into 40 CFR part 55 pertaining to the State of New Jersey.

## III. What action is the EPA taking?

The EPA is taking final action to update the “New Jersey” section of Appendix A to 40 CFR part 55 to incorporate by reference relevant New Jersey air pollution control rules that are currently in effect. EPA is approving this action under section 328(a) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7627(a). Section 328(a) of the Act 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, the EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist onshore.

## IV. Incorporation by Reference

                    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the NJDEP air rules that are applicable to OCS sources and currently in effect, and which are described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 55 set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents available through                     *www.regulations.gov*                     and at the EPA Region 2 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 control requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate, the EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into part 55 as they exist onshore. 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, in promulgating OCS consistency updates, the EPA's role is to maintain consistency between OCS regulations and the regulations of onshore areas, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this action simply updates the existing OCS requirements to make them consistent with requirements onshore, without the exercise of any policy discretion by the EPA.

### a. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

This action is not a “significant regulatory action” under the terms of Executive Orders (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011) and is therefore not subject to review under the E.O.

### b. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

This action does not impose any new information collection burden under PRA because this action only updates the state rules that are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55, Appendix A. 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.

### c. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

I certify that this action will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This proposed rule does not impose any requirements or create impacts on small entities. This proposed consistency update under CAA section 328 will not create any new requirements but simply proposes to update the State requirements incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55 to match the current State requirements.

### d. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

This action does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state, local or tribal 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.

### f. Executive Order 13175, Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, nor does it impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. It merely updated the State law incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55 to match current State requirements.

### g. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks

EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of “covered regulatory action” in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 and simply proposes to update the State requirements incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55 to match the current State requirements.

### h. Executive Order 13211, Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

This proposed rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

### i. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

This rulemaking 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.

### j. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Population

                    The EPA believes that this action is not subject to Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because it                           ( print page 11963)                        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.                

                    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 appropriate circuit by May 2, 2022. 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*                     CAA section 307(b)(2).
