Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 97 / Wednesday, May 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 28835 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it would 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. 

12. Energy Effects 

This rule is not a ‘‘significant energy 

action’’ under Executive Order 13211, 

Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions that do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. This rule 

involves a closed area of Apra Outer 

Harbor, to vessel traffic, for 6 hours on 

both May 15, 2015 and May 21, 2015. 

This rule is categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraph 34(g) of 

Figure 2–1 of the Commandant 

Instruction. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. This rule is 

categorically excluded, under figure 2– 

1, paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Illinois; 

NAAQS Update 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the Illinois Environmental 

Protection Agency (IEPA) on December 

2, 2013. The state rule revisions update 

Illinois’ ambient air quality standards 

for sulfur dioxide (SO2), ozone, nitrogen 

dioxide (NO2), lead, fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5), particulate matter (PM10), 

and carbon monoxide (CO) and bring 

them up to date (through 2012) with 

EPA-promulgated National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS). The SIP 

revision also adopts EPA-promulgated 

monitoring methods and test procedures 

for the revised state air quality 

standards. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective July 20, 2015, unless EPA 

receives adverse comments by June 19, 

2015. If adverse comments are received 

by EPA, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section is arranged as follows: 

I. Background 

A. When and why did the state make this 

submittal? 

B. Did the state hold public hearings for 

this submittal? 

II. What is EPA’s analysis of IEPA’s 

submittal? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

A. When and why did the state make 

this submittal? 

Section 109 of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) requires the EPA to establish 

national primary (protective of human 

health) and secondary (protective of 

human welfare) air quality standards. 

Individually or collectively these 

standards are referred to as NAAQS. 

Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires 

EPA to review, and if necessary, based 

on accumulated health or welfare data, 

to revise each NAAQS every five years. 

States that maintain state air quality 

standard definitions in their state rules 

and SIPs must periodically revise their 

rules and SIPs to reflect the latest 

NAAQS. 

On December 2, 2013, IEPA submitted 

a SIP revision containing rule revisions 

to address the NAAQS for SO2, ozone, 

NO2, lead, PM2.5, PM10, and CO. In this 

submittal, the state requests EPA to 

approve into the SIP rule revisions to 

establish Illinois air quality standards 

‘‘identical-in-substance’’ 1 to all NAAQS 

promulgated by EPA for these pollutants 

and published in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) through the end of 

2012. The rule revisions also 

incorporate by reference all EPApromulgated Federal Reference Methods 

(FRMs) and Federal Equivalent Methods 

(FEMs) for monitoring the subject air 

pollutants, also specified in the CFR 

through 2012. The rule revisions remove 

state air quality standards no longer 

supported by current NAAQS. The rule 

revisions remove several existing 

Illinois rule elements deemed to be no 

longer appropriate for the adopted air 

quality standards and monitoring 

methods. Finally, the rule revisions add 

a number of acronym and term 

definitions needed to fully implement 

the adopted air quality standards and 

monitoring methods. 

Illinois’ rule revisions ensure 

consistency between the state and 

Federal definitions of the air quality 

standards and associated monitoring 

methods, and support consistency 

between the state and the EPA in the 

determination of attainment or 

nonattainment of the air quality 

standards. 

The state rule revisions were adopted 

by the Illinois Pollution Control Board 

(IPCB) on July 25, 2013, and became 

effective on July 29, 2013. 

B. Did the state hold public hearings for 

this submittal? 

A public hearing on the rule revisions 

was held on June 26, 2013, and the state 

addressed several comments made 

during this hearing or received through 

written comments submitted by the 

public. 

II. What is EPA’s analysis of IEPA’s 

submittal? 

Illinois’ submittal covers revisions to 

state rules contained in 35 Illinois 

Administrative Code (IAC) Part 243 (35 

IAC 243). Significant additions, 

modifications, and deletions to Part 243 

are discussed and evaluated below. 

35 IAC Section 243.101, Definitions, 

contains term and concentration unit 

definitions critical to the 

implementation of the state’s air quality 

standards. This section has been 

modified to change or add definitions 

of, terms including, but not limited to, 

‘‘Exceedance of a NAAQS;’’ 

‘‘Exceptional event;’’ ‘‘Federal reference 

method;’’ ‘‘Federal equivalent method;’’ 

‘‘Micrograms per cubic meter;’’ 

‘‘Milligrams per cubic meter;’’ ‘‘Parts 

per million;’’ ‘‘Parts per billion;’’ 

‘‘PM10;’’ and ‘‘PM2.5.’’ Definitions for 

these terms and concentration units 

were generally derived from their 

definitions and usage in 40 CFR parts 50 

and 53. We find these definitions to be 

acceptable and in agreement with 

definitions for these terms and 

concentration units used by the EPA. 

The heading of 35 IAC Section 

243.102, Scope, has been revised from 

‘‘Preamble’’ to ‘‘Scope’’ to correspond 

with the Federal regulations. The former 

preamble statement in 35 IAC Section 

243.102(a) has been replaced with the 

statement of scope from 40 CFR 50.2. 

This section also adds in parentheses 

‘‘primary NAAQS’’ after ‘‘National 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 97 / Wednesday, May 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 28837 

primary air quality standards’’ and adds 

in parentheses ‘‘secondary NAAQS’’ 

after ‘‘National secondary air quality 

standards.’’ All older subsections of this 

section have been deleted to remove 

provisions no longer needed to 

implement the state’s air quality 

standards. This revised section is 

acceptable. 

Section 243.103, Applicability, has 

been revised to improve its readability 

and notes that the adopted air quality 

standards are applicable throughout the 

entire state of Illinois. 

The IPCB has chosen to repeal Section 

243.104 (the Non-degradation Rule) 

from 35 IAC 243 and from the Illinois 

SIP. The Non-degradation Rule predates 

the Illinois Environmental Protection 

Act and adoption of the state’s air 

quality standard rules. When adopting 

the air quality standard rules, the IPCB 

chose to adopt the Non-degradation 

Rule from earlier rules of the Air 

Pollution Control Board (a predecessor 

of the IPCB). This rule section was 

intended to protect areas in Illinois 

currently attaining the air quality 

standards. The IPCB chose to remove 

this rule section from 35 IAC 243 

because: (1) it might conflict with 

Federal non-degradation rules; (2) it is 

not necessary in the context of the 

NAAQS; and, (3) it was not possible to 

correct its flaws in the context of the 

state’s air quality standard rules 

contained in 35 IAC 243. This rule 

removal is acceptable. 

Section 243.105, Air Quality 

Monitoring Data Influenced by 

Exceptional Events, has been added to 

correspond with 40 CFR 50.14 (2012). 

This section provides for a state request 

to the EPA for a determination that 

certain monitored air quality 

concentrations that are the result of 

exceptional events may be excluded 

from the consideration of air quality for 

purposes of determining exceedances of 

the air quality standards. This section 

describes the nature of the state’s 

exceptional event demonstration to the 

EPA and specifies the criteria that the 

exceptional event demonstration must 

meet for approval by the EPA. Of 

particular note, this section describes 

exclusion of air quality data resulting 

from fireworks and prescribed fires. 

Finally, this section describes the 

schedules and procedures to be 

followed when the state petitions the 

EPA for a determination of an 

exceptional event. This section was 

derived from 40 CFR part 50, and is 

acceptable. 

Section 243.106, Monitoring, which 

described the general approach to the 

monitoring of air quality levels, has 

been repealed. This section provided no 

specific criteria for the monitoring of air 

levels, and its removal is acceptable. 

Section 243.107, Reference 

Conditions, has been revised to improve 

its readability and specifies the 

reference temperature and reference air 

pressure to which monitored air quality 

concentrations must be adjusted to 

assure acceptable comparability of the 

monitored air quality concentrations. 

The rule revision is acceptable and 

reflects ambient condition adjustments 

required by the EPA in 40 CFR part 50. 

Section 243.108, Incorporation by 

Reference, includes Federal rules and 

documents incorporated by reference 

into Illinois’ air quality rules. More 

specifically, this section includes the 

required reference methods applicable 

to the monitoring of specific pollutants 

as specified in the appendices to 40 CFR 

part 50 and documents published by the 

National Exposure Research Laboratory, 

Human Exposure and Atmospheric 

Sciences Division of EPA. In addition, 

this section incorporates by reference all 

appendices in 40 CFR part 50 needed to 

interpret the adopted air quality 

standards or to define the FRMs and 

FEMs for each pollutant. These 

incorporations by reference are needed 

to implement the state’s air quality 

standards in a manner equivalent to the 

NAAQS. 

The air quality standards themselves 

are contained in sections 243.120 

through 243.126, with each of these 

sections being applicable to a specific 

pollutant (each section covers all 

standards applicable to the given 

pollutant). Illinois has rewritten these 

sections to eliminate ambient air quality 

standards that have been revoked or 

eliminated by EPA and to add or update 

standards for each pollutant as currently 

adopted/promulgated by the EPA 

through 2012. Each section also defines 

the Federal reference and equivalent 

monitoring methods applicable to each 

pollutant. The state has rewritten the air 

quality standards to be ‘‘identical-insubstance’’ with EPA’s promulgated 

NAAQS. The state’s adopted air quality 

standards contain the same air quality 

levels, averaging times, and forms as the 

NAAQS, but have been rewritten for 

consistency in Illinois’ rule system. All 

NAAQS contained in 40 CFR part 50 

(2012) are reflected by the Illinois air 

quality standards now specified in 

sections 243.120 through 243.126. EPA 

has compared the adopted air quality 

standards to the NAAQS specified in 40 

CFR part 50, and has found them to be 

acceptable. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is approving the requested SIP 

revision submission pertaining to the 

amendments to Illinois’ ambient air 

quality standards since these revised air 

quality standards are consistent with the 

NAAQS promulgated by EPA and in 

existence during 2012. The state will 

adopt new air quality standards as new 

NAAQS are adopted by EPA and will 

subsequently remove/repeal certain air 

quality standards as EPA revokes the 

standards as NAAQS. Specifically, we 

are approving 35 IAC sections 243.101, 

243.102, 243.103, 243.105, 243.107, 

243.108, 243.120, 243.122, 243.123, 

243.124, 243.125, 243.126, and 

243.TableA, and we are incorporating 

by reference these rules into the Illinois 

SIP. We are also approving the repeal 

from the SIP of 35 IAC sections 243.104, 

243.106, 243.Appendix A, 

243.Appendix B, and 243.Appendix C. 

We are publishing this action without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a noncontroversial amendment and 

anticipate no adverse comments. 

However, in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register publication, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

state plan if relevant adverse written 

comments are filed. This rule will be 

effective July 20, 2015 without further 

notice unless we receive relevant 

adverse written comments by June 19, 

2015. If we receive such comments, we 

will withdraw this action before the 

effective date by publishing a 

subsequent document that will 

withdraw the final action. All public 

comments received will then be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. If we do not receive any 

comments, this action will be effective 

July 20, 2015. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of the Illinois Regulations 

described in the amendments to 40 CFR 

part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, 

and will continue to make, these 

documents generally available 

electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

28838 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 97 / Wednesday, May 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

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 

• 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, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule 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). 

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 July 20, 2015. 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
