Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; South Carolina; 

NOX SIP Call Phase II 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve a source-specific State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the South Carolina 

Department of Health and 

Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on 

April 14, 2005. The revision responds to 

EPA’s regulation entitled, ‘‘Interstate 

Ozone Transport: Response to Court 

Decisions on the Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) 

SIP Call, NOX SIP Call Technical 

Amendments, and Section 126 Rules,’’ 

otherwise known as the ‘‘NOX SIP Call 

Phase II.’’ This revision meets the 

requirements of the NOX SIP Call Phase 

II, which requires South Carolina to 

submit NOX SIP Call Phase II revisions 

necessary to achieve applicable, 

incremental reductions of NOX, 

including emission reductions from 

large internal combustion (IC) engines. 

Transcontinental Gas Pipeline 

Corporation Station 140 (Transco) is the 

only facility in South Carolina affected 

by the NOX SIP Call Phase II. The 

intended effect of this SIP revision is to 

reduce emissions of NOX originating in 

the State of South Carolina to help 

attain and maintain the national 

ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) 

for ozone. This action is being taken 

pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA). 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

June 22, 2009 without further notice, 

unless EPA receives adverse comment 

by May 26, 2009. If adverse comment is 

received, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register and inform the public 

that the rule will not take effect.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

On October 27, 1998, EPA published 

a final rule known as the ‘‘NOX SIP 

Call’’ (63 FR 57355), and later known as 

the ‘‘NOX SIP Call Phase I.’’ Phase I of 

the NOX SIP Call required 22 states, 

including the State of South Carolina, to 

meet NOX emission budgets during the 

ozone season (March through 

September) to reduce the amount of 

ground level ozone that is transported 

across the eastern United States. EPA 

identified NOX emission reductions by 

source category when they could be 

achieved by using cost-effective 

measures. These source categories 

include electric generating units (EGUs), 

non-EGUs, internal combustion (IC) 

engines and cement kilns. For each 

affected jurisdiction, EPA determined 

the NOX emission budgets based on the 

implementation of cost effective 

controls. The budgets are to be met by 

the year 2007. Phase I of the NOX SIP 

Call gave states the flexibility to decide 

which source categories to regulate to 

meet the statewide budget. During Phase 

I, South Carolina regulated EGUs, nonEGUs and cement kilns, but chose not 

to address IC engines. See, e.g., 67 FR 

43546 (June 28, 2002) (Approval and 

Promulgation of Implementation Plans: 

South Carolina: Nitrogen Oxides Budget 

and Allowance Trading Program). 

A number of parties, including certain 

states as well as industry and labor 

groups, challenged Phase I of the NOX

SIP Call rule. On May 14, 1999, and 

March 2, 2000, EPA published 

additional technical amendments to the 

NOX SIP Call in the Federal Register (64 

FR 26298 and 65 FR 11222, 

respectively). On March 3, 2000, the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit (DC Circuit 

Court) issued its decision on the NOX

SIP Call, ruling in favor of EPA on all 

major issues. Michigan v. EPA, 213 F.3d 

663 (DC Cir. 2000). However, the DC 

Circuit Court remanded four specific 

elements to EPA for further action: the 

definition of EGU; the level of control 

for stationary IC engines; the geographic 

extent of the NOX SIP Call for Georgia 

and Missouri; and the inclusion of 

Wisconsin. On May 28, 2002, SC DHEC 

submitted revisions to its SIP that 

complied with the requirements of 

Phase I of the NOX SIP Call. EPA 

approved the revisions on June 28, 2002 

(67 FR 43546); these revisions became 

effective on July 29, 2002. 

On April 21, 2004, EPA published a 

final rule addressing the remanded 

portion of the NOX SIP Call rule. This 

rule is entitled, ‘‘Interstate Ozone 

Transport: Response to Court Decisions 

on the NOX SIP Call, NOx SIP Call 

Technical Amendments, and Section 

126 Rules,’’ and is otherwise known as 

‘‘NOX SIP Call Phase II’’ (69 FR 21604). 

This rule promulgated specific changes 

in response to the DC Circuit Court’s 

ruling on Phase I of the NOX SIP Call. 

Specifically, this action finalized certain 

aspects of the definitions of EGU and 

non-EGU; the control level for large 

stationary IC engines; partial State 

budgets for Georgia, Missouri, Alabama, 

and Michigan; changes to the statewide 

NOX budgets; SIP submittal dates for the 

required states to address the Phase II 

portion of the budget; SIP submittal 

dates for Georgia and Missouri; the 

compliance date for all covered sources; 

and the exclusion of Wisconsin from the 

NOX SIP Call (69 FR 21604, April 21, 

2004). This rule also required states that 

submitted NOX SIP Call Phase I 

revisions, to submit Phase II SIP 

revisions, as necessary to achieve 

incremental reductions of NOX, no later 

than April 1, 2005. Phase II requires 

emissions reductions that are relatively 

small, representing less than 10 percent 

of the total reductions required by Phase 

I of the NOX SIP Call. For large, natural 

gas fired, stationary IC engines the 

control level was set at 82 percent. For 

diesel and dual fuel stationary IC 

engines the control level was set at 90 

percent. 

Phase II of the NOX SIP Call required 

South Carolina to reduce the Phase I 

NOx emissions originating in the State 

from 127,756 tons of NOX emissions per 

year to 123,496 tons per year, or by 

4,260 tons 1 of NOX emissions per year 

(69 FR 21604, 21629, April 21, 2004). 

South Carolina is achieving these NOX

emission reductions for sources located 

in South Carolina by setting the control 

level for large, stationary IC engines at 

82 percent, and for diesel and dual fuel 

stationary IC engines at 90 percent. On 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 77 / Thursday, April 23, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 18473 

April 14, 2005, SC DHEC submitted 

revisions to incorporate these 

requirements as a proposed sourcespecific SIP revision, intended to meet 

the requirements of the NOX SIP Call 

Phase II. 

II. Analysis of State’s Submittal 

The April 14, 2005, proposed 

revisions to the South Carolina SIP are 

consistent with EPA’s requirements for 

Phase II of the NOX SIP Call. Phase II 

requires South Carolina to set NOX

emission levels for large stationary IC 

engines, including large utility and 

industrial boilers (i.e. engines emitting 

more than one ton of NOX per average 

ozone season day in 1997) at 82 percent. 

The Transco Facility in Spartanburg 

County, South Carolina, is the only 

facility in South Carolina affected by 

this SIP revision. On April 27, 2004, SC 

DHEC issued a construction permit, 

number 2060–0179–CD, to Transco. The 

permit requires Transco to reduce its 

NOX emissions by 4,010 tons per ozone 

season. To achieve this result, Transco 

performed combustion modifications, 

engine mapping, and unit overhauls to 

thirteen of its fourteen IC engines. 

Transco subsequently monitored all of 

its engines during the 2006 ozone 

season to verify that its modifications 

were effective. Transco’s permit requires 

it to monitor one engine in each NOX

emission group on a rotating basis 

during each ozone season. IC Engine 

Group 1 includes engines 1 through 6; 

Group 2 includes engines 7 through 9; 

Group 3 includes engines 10 and 11; 

and Group 4 includes engines 12 and 

13. Incorporation of the Transco 

construction permit 2060–0179–CD into 

the South Carolina SIP achieves all of 

the necessary NOX reductions to meet 

Phase II of the NOX SIP Call 

requirements for South Carolina. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving the aforementioned 

changes to the South Carolina SIP. 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 June 22, 2009 without further 

notice unless the Agency receives 

adverse comments by May 26, 2009. 

If 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 June 22, 2009 

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 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 June 22, 2009. 

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).)
