Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 24, 2021 / Proposed Rules 47275 

while setting lowest achievable limits. 

EPA finds that the proposed sourcespecific RACT controls for the sources 

subject to this rulemaking action 

adequately meet the CAA RACT 

requirements for the 1997 and 2008 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS for the subject 

sources of NOX and/or VOC in 

Pennsylvania, as they are not covered by 

or cannot meet Pennsylvania’s 

presumptive RACT regulation. 

EPA also finds that all the proposed 

revisions to previously SIP approved 

RACT requirements, under the 1979 1- 

hour ozone standard (RACT I), as 

discussed in PADEP’s SIP revisions, 

will result in equivalent or additional 

reductions of NOX and/or VOC 

emissions and should not interfere with 

any applicable requirement concerning 

attainment of the NAAQS, reasonable 

further progress or other applicable 

CAA requirement under section 110(l) 

of the CAA. 

EPA’s complete analysis of PADEP’s 

source-specific RACT SIP revisions is 

included in the TSD available in the 

docket for this rulemaking action and 

available online at https://

www.regulations.gov, Docket number 

EPA–R03–OAR–2021–0531. 

IV. Proposed Action 

Based on EPA’s review, EPA is 

proposing to approve the Pennsylvania 

SIP revisions for source-specific RACT 

determinations for individual sources at 

twenty-three major NOX and VOC 

emitting facilities listed in Table 2 of 

this document and incorporate by 

reference in the Pennsylvania SIP, via 

the RACT II permits, source-specific 

RACT determinations under the 1997 

and 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS for 

those sources. EPA is soliciting public 

comments on the issues discussed in 

this document. These comments will be 

considered before taking final action. As 

EPA views each facility as a separable 

SIP revision, should EPA receive 

comment on one facility but not others, 

EPA may take separate, final action on 

the remaining facilities. 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

In this document, EPA is proposing to 

include in a final EPA rule regulatory 

text that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

source-specific RACT determinations 

via the RACT II permits as described in 

Sections II and III—Summary of SIP 

Revisions and EPA’s Evaluation of SIP 

Revisions in this document. EPA has 

made, and will continue to make, these 

materials generally available through 

https://www.regulations.gov and at the 

EPA Region III Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

VI. 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 proposed 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, this proposed 

rulemaking, addressing the NOX and 

VOC RACT source-specific 

requirements for individual sources at 

twenty-three facilities in Pennsylvania 

for the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS, 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.

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing receipt of 

pesticide petitions filed under section 

408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain data or information 

prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 

21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); however, EPA has 

not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the 

submitted data at this time or whether 

the data supports granting of the 

pesticide petitions. After considering 

the public comments, EPA intends to 

evaluate whether and what action may 

be warranted. Additional data may be 

needed before EPA can make a final 

determination on these pesticide 

petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), 

summaries of the petitions that are the 

subject of this document, prepared by 

the petitioners, are included in dockets 

EPA has created for these rulemakings. 

The dockets for these petitions are 

available at http://www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petitions so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on these requests for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petitions may be 

obtained through the petition 

summaries referenced in this unit.
