Air Plan Revisions; Arizona; Maricopa 

County Air Quality Department 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking final action to 

approve revisions to the Maricopa 

County Air Quality Department 

(MCAQD or ‘‘County’’) portion of the 

Arizona State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). These revisions concern 

emissions of volatile organic 

compounds (VOC) from storage, 

transfer, or loading of organic liquids 

and gasoline. We are approving local 

rules that regulate these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or the Act). We are also approving the 

MCAQD’s reasonably available control 

technology (RACT) demonstration 

associated with these rules for the 2008 

8-hour ozone national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) in the 

Phoenix-Mesa ozone nonattainment 

area. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 8, 

2025.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Proposed Action 

On August 19, 2024 (89 FR 67014), 

the EPA proposed to approve the 

following rules into the Arizona SIP. 

Local agency Rule No. Rule title Revised Submitted 

MCAQD ............. 350 Storage and Transfer of Organic Liquids (Non-Gasoline) at an Organic Liquid Distribution (OLD) Facility.11/18/2020 12/03/2020 

MCAQD ............. 351 Storage and Loading of Gasoline at Bulk Gasoline Plants and at Bulk Gasoline Terminals.11/18/2020 12/03/2020 

We proposed to approve these rules 

because we determined that they 

comply with the relevant CAA 

requirements. We also proposed to 

approve the MCAQD’s RACT 

demonstration associated with these 

rules for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

Additionally, we proposed that the 

revised rules corrected the deficiencies 

identified in our previous conditional 

approval (85 FR 10986, February 26, 

2020). Our proposed action contains 

more information on the rules and our 

evaluation. 

II. Public Comments and EPA 

Responses 

The EPA’s proposed action provided 

a 30-day public comment period. During 

this period, we received no comments. 

III. EPA Action 

No comments were submitted. 

Therefore, as authorized in section 

110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is 

approving MCAQD Rule 350 and Rule 

351 into the Arizona SIP. The November 

18, 2020 version of Rule 350 and Rule 

351 will replace the conditionally 

approved version of these rules in the 

SIP. This action signifies that the State 

of Arizona has fulfilled its commitment 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
97544 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 236 / Monday, December 9, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

1 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). 

under the terms of the February 26, 

2020 conditional approval (85 FR 

10986) to submit revised versions of 

these rules, and the EPA is now 

removing the conditional approval text 

associated with these rules and CTG 

categories from 40 CFR 52.119(c)(1). The 

EPA is also approving MCAQD’s RACT 

demonstration associated with these 

rules for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS 

in the Phoenix-Mesa ozone 

nonattainment area. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of MCAQD 

Rule 350, ‘‘Storage and Transfer of 

Organic Liquids (Non-Gasoline) at an 

Organic Liquid Distribution (OLD) 

Facility,’’ revised on November 18, 

2020, which regulates VOC emissions 

from organic liquid storage and transfer 

operations at organic liquid distribution 

facilities. The EPA is also finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of MCAQD 

Rule 351, ‘‘Storage and Loading of 

Gasoline at Bulk Gasoline Plants and at 

Bulk Gasoline Terminals,’’ revised on 

November 18, 2020, which regulates 

VOC emissions from gasoline storage 

and loading activities at bulk gasoline 

plants and terminals. Therefore, these 

materials have been approved by the 

EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been 

incorporated by reference by the EPA 

into that plan, are fully federally 

enforceable under sections 110 and 113 

of the CAA as of the effective date of the 

final rulemaking of the EPA’s approval, 

and will be incorporated by reference in 

the next update to the SIP compilation.1

The EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents available 

through https://www.regulations.gov 

and at the EPA Region IX Office (please 

contact the person identified in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of 

this preamble for more information). 

V. 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, the 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 

21879, April 11, 2023); 

• 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 subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 

because it approves a state program; 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); and 

• 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. 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where the 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). 

Executive Order 12898 (Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994) directs Federal 

agencies to identify and address 

‘‘disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects’’ 

of their actions on communities with 

environmental justice (EJ) concerns to 

the greatest extent practicable and 

permitted by law. Executive Order 

14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s 

Commitment to Environmental Justice 

for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023) 

builds on and supplements Executive 

Order 12898 and defines EJ as, among 

other things, ‘‘the just treatment and 

meaningful involvement of all people, 

regardless of income, race, color, 

national origin, Tribal affiliation, or 

disability, in agency decision-making 

and other Federal activities that affect 

human health and the environment.’’ 

The State did not evaluate EJ 

considerations as part of its SIP 

submittal; the CAA and applicable 

implementing regulations neither 

prohibit nor require such an evaluation. 

The EPA did not perform an EJ analysis 

and did not consider EJ in this action. 

Consideration of EJ is not required as 

part of this action, and there is no 

information in the record inconsistent 

with the stated goal of Executive Orders 

12898 and 14096 of achieving EJ for 

communities with EJ concerns. 

This action is subject to the 

Congressional Review Act, and the EPA 

will submit a rule report to each House 

of the Congress and to the Comptroller 

General of the United States. 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 February 7, 2025. 

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 may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

Finding of Failure To Attain and 

Reclassification of an Area in Utah as 

Serious for the 2015 Ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is determining that the 

Northern Wasatch Front, UT area failed 

to attain the 2015 ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) by the applicable attainment 

date. The effect of failing to attain by the 

applicable attainment date is that the 

area will be reclassified by operation of 

law to ‘‘Serious’’ nonattainment for the 

2015 ozone NAAQS on, the effective 

date of this final rule. This action fulfills 

the EPA’s obligation under the Clean 

Air Act (CAA) to determine whether 

ozone nonattainment areas attained the 

NAAQS by the Moderate area 

attainment date and to publish a 

document in the Federal Register 

identifying each area that is determined 

as having failed to attain and identifying 

the reclassification. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 8, 

2025. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R08–OAR–2024–0552. All
