SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

30, 2020, the Maryland Department of 

the Environment (MDE), on behalf of the 

State of Maryland, submitted a revision 

to the Maryland SIP entitled, ‘‘2015 8- 

Hour Ozone NAAQS (0.070 ppm) 

Marginal Area State Implementation 

Plan for the Cecil County, MD 

Nonattainment Area, SIP # 20–09.’’ 

Cecil County comprises the Maryland 

portion of the Philadelphia Area. This 

SIP revision, referred to in this rule 

action as the ‘‘Cecil County base year 

inventory SIP,’’ addresses the base year 

inventory requirement for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS. 

I. Background 

On October 1, 2015, EPA strengthened 

the 8-hour ozone NAAQS, lowering the 

level of the NAAQS from 0.075 parts per 

million (ppm) to 0.070 ppm. 80 FR 

65292 (October 26, 2015). Effective 

August 3, 2018, EPA designated the 

Philadelphia Area, which consists of 

Cecil County in Maryland and counties 

in Delaware, New Jersey, and 

Pennsylvania, as marginal 

nonattainment for the 2015 ozone 

NAAQS. 83 FR 25776 (June 4, 2018). 

CAA section 182(a)(1) requires ozone 

nonattainment areas classified as 

marginal or above to submit a 

comprehensive, accurate, current 

inventory of actual emissions from all 

emissions sources in the nonattainment 

area, known as a ‘‘base year inventory.’’

16102 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

1On January 29, 2021, the Court of Appeals for 

the D.C. Circuit issued its decision regarding 

multiple challenges to EPA’s implementation rule 

for the 2015 ozone NAAQS which included, among 

other things, upholding this provision allowing 

states to use an alternative baseline year for RFP. 

Sierra Club v. EPA, No. 15–1465 (D.C. Cir.) 

(mandate not yet issued). The other provisions of 

EPA’s ozone implantation rule at issue in the case 

are not relevant for this rule. 

SIP addresses a base year inventory 

requirement for the Philadelphia Area. 

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA 

Analysis 

A. EPA’s Evaluation of the Cecil County 

Base Year Inventory SIP 

EPA’s review of the Maryland’s base 

year inventory SIP indicates that it 

meets the base year inventory 

requirements for the 2015 ozone 

NAAQS. As required by 40 CFR 

51.1315(a), MDE selected 2017 for the 

base year inventory, which is consistent 

with the baseline year for the reasonable 

further progress (RFP) plan required 

under 40 CFR 51.1310 for the 

Philadelphia Area, because it is the year 

of the most recent triennial inventory. 

MDE included actual ozone season 

emissions, pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.1315(c). 

EPA prepared a technical support 

document (TSD) in support of this rule. 

In that TSD, EPA reviewed the results, 

procedures, and methodologies for the 

SIP base year, and found them to be 

acceptable and developed in accordance 

with EPA’s technical guidance. The TSD 

is available online at http://

www.regulations.gov, Docket ID No. 

EPA–R03–OAR–2021–0834. 

B. Base Year Inventory Requirements 

In EPA’s December 6, 2018 (83 FR 

62998) rule, ‘‘Implementation of the 

2015 National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Ozone: Nonattainment 

Area State Implementation Plan 

Requirements,’’ known as the ‘‘SIP 

Requirements Rule,’’ EPA set out 

nonattainment area requirements for the 

2015 ozone NAAQS. The SIP 

Requirements Rule established base year 

inventory requirement, which were 

codified at 40 CFR 51.1315. As required 

by 40 CFR 51.1315(a), each 2015 ozone 

nonattainment area to submit a base 

year inventory within 2 years of 

designation, i.e., by no later than August 

3, 2020. 

Also, 40 CFR 51.1315(a) requires that 

the inventory year be selected consistent 

with the baseline year for the RFP plan 

as required by 40 CFR 51.1310(b), which 

states that the baseline emissions 

inventory shall be the emissions 

inventory for the most recent calendar 

year for which a complete triennial 

inventory is required to be submitted to 

EPA under the provisions of subpart A 

of 40 CFR part 51, Air Emissions 

Reporting Requirements, 40 CFR 51.1 

through 50. The most recent triennial 

inventory year conducted for the 

National Emissions Inventory (NEI) 

pursuant to the Air Emissions Reporting 

Requirements (AERR) rule is 2017. 73 

FR 76539 (December 17, 2008). 

Maryland selected 2017 as their baseline 

emissions inventory year for RFP. This 

selection comports with EPA’s 

implementation regulations for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS because 2017 is the 

inventory year. 40 CFR 51.1310(b).1 40 

CFR 51.1315(c) requires emissions 

values included in the base year 

inventory to be actual ozone season day 

emissions as defined by 40 CFR 

51.1300(q). 

C. Cecil County Base Year Inventory SIP 

The Cecil County base year inventory 

SIP contains an explanation of MDE’s 

2017 base year emissions inventory for 

Cecil County (2017 Cecil County BYE) 

for stationary, non-point, non-road, and 

on-road anthropogenic sources, as well 

as biogenic sources, in the Cecil County 

Area. The Cecil County Area consists 

solely of Cecil County, MD. MDE 

estimated anthropogenic emissions for 

volatile organic compound (VOC), 

nitrogen oxide (NOx), and carbon 

monoxide (CO) for a typical ozone 

season workweek day. 

MDE developed the 2017 Cecil 

County BYE with the following source 

categories of anthropogenic emissions 

sources: Point, quasi-point, non-point, 

non-road, on-road, and commercial 

marine vessels, airport, and railroad 

emissions sources (MAR). Appendix A 

of the Cecil County base year inventory 

SIP, 2017 Base Year SIP Emissions 

Inventory Methodologies (Appendix A), 

sets out the methodologies MDE used to 

develop its base year inventory, and is 

included in the docket for this rule 

available online at https://

www.regulations.gov, Docket ID: EPA– 

R03–OAR–2021–0834. 

EPA’s review of Maryland’s base year 

inventory SIP for Cecil County indicates 

that it meets the base year inventory 

requirements for the 2015 ozone 

NAAQS. Other specific requirements of 

MDE’s July 30, 2020 submittal and the 

rationale for EPA’s proposed action, 

including further information on each 

source category, are explained in the 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

and will not be restated here. 

III. EPA’s Response to Comments 

Received 

EPA received one comment 

supporting our proposed action in the 

January 14, 2022 NPRM. The comment 

received is in the docket for this 

rulemaking action. EPA received no 

adverse comments. 

IV. Final Action 

EPA’s review of this material 

indicates the Cecil County base year 

inventory SIP meets the base year 

inventory requirement for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS for the Philadelphia 

Area. Therefore, EPA is approving the 

Cecil County base year inventory SIP, 

which was submitted on July 30, 2020. 

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, 

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 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 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 16103 

• 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 final rule, approving 

Maryland’s base year inventory SIP for 

the 2015 ozone NAAQS, 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.
