This SIP revision also includes negative declarations for various VOC source categories.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION** 

### : I. Summary of SIP Revision

On February 11, 2013 (78 FR 9648), EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the District of Columbia. The NPR proposed approval of amendments to Chapters 1 and 7 of Title 20 (Environment) of the DCMR for the control of VOCs to meet the requirement to adopt RACT and negative declarations for various VOC source categories. The formal SIP revision was submitted by the District of Columbia on January 26, 2010, March 24, 2011, and March 15, 2012. The SIP revision amends the District’s regulations to impose the VOC RACT requirements as recommended by OTC’s model rules for consumer products, adhesives and sealants, architectural and industrial maintenance, portable fuel containers and spouts, and solvent cleaning and also include VOC RACT requirements consistent with EPA’s CTGs for flexible packaging and printing, large appliance coatings, metal furniture coatings, and miscellaneous metal products and plastic parts coatings, lithographic and letterpress printing, miscellaneous industrial adhesives, and industrial cleaning solvents. The SIP revision also consists of negative declarations for the following VOC source categories: Auto and Light-duty Truck Assembly Coatings; Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials; Paper, Film and Foil Coatings; and Flatwood Paneling. EPA received no adverse comments on the NPR to approve the District of Columbia’s SIP revision. A more complete explanation of the amendments and the rationale for EPA’s proposed action is explained in the technical support document and the NPR in support of this final rulemaking and will not be restated here.
II. Final Action

EPA is approving the District of Columbia’s SIP revisions adopting VOC RACT requirements for various source categories. EPA is also approving the District’s negative declarations pursuant to section 182(b)(2)(A) of the CAA for those CTG categories where no sources are located in the District. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. General Requirements

Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the


## 24993 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 82 / Monday, April 29, 2013 / Rules and Regulations

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. B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

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). C. Petitions for Judicial Review

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 June 28, 2013. 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 approving the District’s amendments to regulations for the control of VOCs and negative declarations for various VOC source categories may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).) List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52

**AGENCY** 

### : Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
**ACTION** 

### : Final rule.

**SUMMARY** 

### : Pursuant to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Significant New Alternatives Policy program, this action lists C7 Fluoroketone as an acceptable substitute, subject to narrowed use limits, for ozone-depleting substances used as streaming agents in the fire suppression and explosion protection sector. The program implements Section 612 of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, which requires the Agency to evaluate substitutes and find them acceptable where they pose comparable or lower overall risk to human health and the environment than other available substitutes.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION** 

### : The regulations implementing the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program are codified at 40 CFR part 82, subpart G. The appendices tosubpart G list substitutes for ozonedepleting substances (ODSs) for specific end uses as unacceptable or as acceptable with certain restrictions imposed on their use. In addition, a list of acceptable substitutes without restrictions is available at http:// www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/lists/ index.html. This final rule will add a new fire suppression agent to the SNAP list of acceptable substitutes in the appendices to subpart G and specifically to the list of substitutes for halon 1211 for streaming uses. This action does not place any significant burden on the regulated community but lists as acceptable, subject to narrowed use limits, a new halon substitute. The restrictions will ensure that this substitute will not pose a greater risk to human health or the environment than other available or potentially available substitutes in the fire suppression end

use.

This final rule finds C7 Fluoroketone acceptable subject to narrowed use limits as a substitute for halon 1211 for use as a streaming agent in portable fire extinguishers in nonresidential applications. Halons are chemicals that were once widely used in the fire protection sector but have been banned from production in the U.S. since 1994 because their emissions into the atmosphere are highly destructive to the stratospheric ozone layer. This action will provide users that need specialized fire protection applications with more alternatives to the use of halons. Businesses that may be regulated, either through manufacturing, distribution, installation and servicing, or use of the fire suppression equipment containing the substitutes are listed in the table below:
