Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans Alabama: 

Volatile Organic Compounds 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve a revision to the 

Alabama State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) submitted by the Alabama 

Department of Environmental 

Management (ADEM) on September 3, 

2013. The revision modifies the 

definition of ‘‘volatile organic 

compounds’’ (VOCs). Specifically, the 

revision adds four 

hydrofluoropolyethers (HFPEs) 

compounds, to the list of those excluded 

from the VOC definition on the basis 

that these compounds make a negligible 

contribution to tropospheric ozone 

formation. ADEM is updating its SIP to 

be consistent with EPA rule finalized on 

February 12, 2013, which excludes 

these compounds from the regulatory 

VOC definition. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

11, 2014 without further notice, unless 

EPA receives relevant adverse comment 

by July 10, 2014. If EPA receives such 

comment, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that this rule will 

not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Tropospheric ozone, commonly 

known as smog, occurs when VOCs and 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) react in the 

atmosphere. Because of the harmful 

health effects of ozone, EPA limits the 

amount of VOCs and NOX that can be 

released into the atmosphere. VOCs are 

those compounds of carbon (excluding 

carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, 

carbonic acid, metallic carbides or 

carbonates, and ammonium carbonate) 

that form ozone through atmospheric 

photochemical reactions. Compounds of 

carbon (or organic compounds) have 

different levels of reactivity; they do not 

react at the same speed, or do not form 

ozone to the same extent. 

It has been EPA’s policy that 

compounds of carbon with negligible 

reactivity need not be regulated to 

reduce ozone. See 42 FR 35314, July 8, 

1977. EPA determines whether a given 

carbon compound has ‘‘negligible’’ 

reactivity by comparing the compound’s 

reactivity to the reactivity of ethane. 

EPA lists these compounds in its 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 111 / Tuesday, June 10, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 33117 

1Alabama’s September 3, 2013 submission to 

EPA also included changes to Chapters 335–3–10 

New Source Performance Standards and 335–3–11 

National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants which are not part of the Alabama 

federally approved SIP. 

regulations at 40 CFR 51.100(s) and 

excludes them from the definition of 

VOC. The chemicals on this list are 

often called ‘‘negligibly reactive.’’ EPA 

may periodically revise the list of 

negligibly reactive compounds to add or 

delete compounds. 

On February 12, 2013, EPA issued a 

final rule approving the addition of four 

HFPEs to the list of those compounds 

excluded from the regulatory definition 

of VOC. See 78 FR 9823. The four 

HFPEs—HCF2OCF2H (HFE–134), 

HCF2OCF2OCF2H (HFE–236cal2), 

HCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H (HFE–338pcc13), 

and HCF2OCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H 

(H-Galden 1040X and H-Galden ZT 130 

(or 150 or 180)), have been used in some 

heat transfer applications (as 

refrigerants) and as fire suppressants. 

Because HFPEs do not contain chlorine 

or bromine, these compounds do not 

contribute to the depletion of the ozone 

layer and have ozone depletion 

potential values of zero. ADEM is 

updating its SIP to be consistent with 

federal regulations. 

II. Analysis of the State’s Submittal 

On September 3, 2013, ADEM 

submitted a SIP revision 1 to EPA for 

review and approval. The revision 

modifies the definition of VOCs found 

at Alabama Administrative Code section 

335–3–1–.02(gggg). Specifically, the 

revision adds four HFPEs compounds— 

HCF2OCF2H (HFE–134), 

HCF2OCF2OCF2H (HFE–236cal2), 

HCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H (HFE–338pcc13), 

and HCF2OCF2OCF2CF2OCF2H 

(H-Galden 1040X and H-Galden ZT 130 

(or 150 or 180)) to the list of those 

excluded from the VOC definition on 

the basis that these compounds make a 

negligible contribution to tropospheric 

ozone formation. 

This action amends Rule 335–3–1– 

.02(gggg) to update the definition of 

VOC to be consistent with EPA 

regulations. These changes are 

consistent with the section 110 of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). 

III. Final Action 

Pursuant to section 110 of the CAA, 

EPA is approving the revision to the 

Alabama SIP revising the VOC 

definition. EPA has evaluated 

Alabama’s September 3, 2013, submittal 

and has determined that it meets the 

applicable requirements of the CAA and 

EPA regulations and is consistent with 

EPA policy. EPA is publishing this rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. However, in the proposed 

rules section of this Federal Register 

publication, EPA is publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposal to approve the SIP revision 

should adverse comments be filed. This 

rule will be effective August 11, 2014 

without further notice unless the 

Agency receives adverse comments by 

July 10, 2014. If the EPA receives such 

comments, then EPA will publish a 

document withdrawing the final rule 

and informing the public that the rule 

will not take effect. All public 

comments received will then be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Parties interested in commenting should 

do so at this time. If no such comments 

are received, the public is advised that 

this rule will be effective on August 11, 

2014 and no further action will be taken 

on the proposed rule. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, 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 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. 

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 August 11, 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 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
33118 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 111 / Tuesday, June 10, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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 CAA 

section 307(b)(2), 42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(2).
