[EPA–R09–OAR–2014–0412; FRL–9912–71– 

Region 9] 

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, Lake County Air 

Quality Management District 

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 Lake 

County Air Quality Management District 

(LCAQMD) portion of the California 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). This

I. The State’s Submittal 

A. What rules did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the rules we are 

approving with the dates that they were 

adopted by the local air agency and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board. 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED SECTIONS

Local agency Section 

No. Section title Adopted Submitted 

LCAQMD ................................... 228 Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) ................................................... 06/23/98 12/23/98 

LCAQMD ................................... 470 Air Toxics Control Measure for Emissions of Toxic Particulate 

Matter from In-Use Agricultural Compression Ignition Engines.

09/21/10 04/05/11 

On June 23, 1999, the submittal for 

LCAQMD Rule 228 was deemed by 

operation of law to meet the 

completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51 

Appendix V. On May 6, 2011, EPA 

determined that the submittal for 

LCAQMD Rule 470 met the 

completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51 

Appendix V, which must be met before 

formal EPA review. 

B. Are there other versions of these 

rules? 

There are no previous versions of 

Rules 228 or 470 approved into the SIP. 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

rules? 

Section 110(a) of the CAA requires 

States to submit regulations that control 

volatile organic compounds, oxides of 

nitrogen, PM, and other air pollutants 

which harm human health and the 

environment. Rule 228 was developed 

as part of the local agency’s program to 

control these pollutants. It defines HAPs 

as ‘‘Those pollutants that are listed in 

the Federal Clean Air Act’s Section 

112(b) List of Hazardous Air 

Pollutants.’’ 

PM contributes to effects that are 

harmful to human health and the 

environment, including premature 

mortality, aggravation of respiratory and 

cardiovascular disease, decreased lung 

function, visibility impairment, and 

damage to vegetation and ecosystems. 

Section 110(a) of the CAA requires 

States to submit regulations that control 

PM emissions. Section 470 provides a 

local administrative program for 

registering compression ignition (CI) 

stationary engines used in agricultural 

operations and controlling air emissions 

from these sources by setting engine tier 

requirements for certain replacement 

units. EPA’s technical support 

document (TSD) has more information 

about rule 470. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is EPA evaluating the rules? 

Generally, SIP rules must be 

enforceable (see section 110(a) of the 

Act) and must not relax existing 

requirements (see sections 110(l) and 

193). Rule 228 does not set emissions 

standards thus it does not have to meet 

a specific stringency requirement for 

emissions. Additionally, LCAQMD 

regulates an area that is classified as 

attainment for all National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS) (see 40 CFR 

Part 81.305), so Rule 470 does not have 

to meet a specific stringency 

requirement for emissions from this 

source category. 

Guidance and policy documents that 

we use to evaluate enforceability 

requirements consistently include the 

following: 

1. ‘‘Issues Relating to VOC Regulation 

Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and 

Deviations; Clarification to 

Appendix D of November 24, 1987 

Federal Register Notice,’’ (Blue 

Book), notice of availability 

published in the May 25, 1988 

Federal Register. 

2. ‘‘Guidance Document for Correcting 

Common VOC & Other Rule 

Deficiencies,’’ EPA Region 9, 

August 21, 2001 (the Little 

Bluebook). 

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation 

criteria? 

We believe these rules are consistent 

with the relevant policy and guidance 

regarding enforceability and SIP 

relaxations. The Technical Support 

Document (TSD) has more information 

on our evaluation. 

C. EPA Recommendations To Further 

Improve the Rule 

The TSD describes additional rule 

revisions that we recommend for the 

next time the local agency modifies Rule 

470. 

D. Public Comment and Final Action 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, EPA is fully approving the 

submitted rules because we believe they 

fulfill all relevant requirements. We do 

not think anyone will object to this 

approval, so we are finalizing it without 

proposing it in advance. However, in 

the Proposed Rules section of this 

Federal Register, we are simultaneously 

proposing approval of the same 

submitted rules. If we receive adverse 

comments by November 5, 2014, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register to notify the public 

that the direct final approval will not 

take effect and we will address the 

comments in a subsequent final action 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 193 / Monday, October 6, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 60063 

based on the proposal. If we do not 

receive timely adverse comments, the 

direct final approval will be effective 

without further notice on December 5, 

2014. This will incorporate the rules 

into the federally enforceable SIP. 

Please note that if EPA receives 

adverse comment on an amendment, 

paragraph, or section of either of these 

rules and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rules, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rules that are not the subject of 

an adverse comment. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, 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 Clean Air Act. 

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 (Public Law 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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, and legally permissible 

methods under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, these rules do 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 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 December 5, 

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 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 section 307(b)(2)).
