VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On October 26, 2015, the EPA 

promulgated a revised 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS of 0.070 parts per million 

(ppm).1 Upon promulgation of a new or 

revised NAAQS, the CAA requires the 

EPA to designate as nonattainment any 

area that is violating the NAAQS based 

on the three most recent years of 

ambient air quality data. This action 

relates to three California air districts 

that were designated nonattainment for 

the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS on June 

4, 2018.2

Within the SCAQMD, the South Coast 

Air Basin was classified as an Extreme 

ozone nonattainment area and the 

Coachella Valley Air Basin was 

classified as a Severe ozone 

nonattainment area. Within the 

ICAPCD, Imperial County was classified 

as a Marginal ozone nonattainment area. 

Within the VCAPCD, the part of Ventura 

County excluding the Channel Islands 

of Anacapa and San Nicolas Islands was 

classified as a Serious nonattainment 

area. 

On December 6, 2018, the EPA issued 

a final rule entitled ‘‘Implementation of 

the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Ozone: Nonattainment 

Area State Implementation Plan 

Requirements’’ (‘‘2015 SIP 

Requirements Rule’’) that establishes the 

requirements and deadlines that state, 

tribal, and local air quality management 

agencies must meet as they develop 

implementation plans for areas where 

ozone concentrations exceed the 2015 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS.3 Based on the 

initial nonattainment designations for 

the 2015 8-hour ozone standards, each 

district was required to make a SIP 

revision addressing NNSR no later than 

August 3, 2021.4 This requirement may 

be met by submitting a SIP revision 

consisting of a new or revised NNSR 

permit program, or an analysis 

demonstrating that the existing SIPapproved NNSR permit program meets 

the applicable 2015 ozone requirements 

and a letter certifying the analysis. 

II. The State’s Submittal 

A. What did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the dates the submitted 

2015 Ozone Certification letters 

addressed by this proposal were 

adopted by each air district and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board (CARB), the agency 

that serves as the governor’s designee 

for California SIP submittals.

to meet the completeness criteria in 40 

CFR part 51, appendix V, which must be 

met before formal EPA review. 

B. What is the purpose of the submitted

make a SIP revision addressing 

nonattainment new source review. The 

SIP for each district currently contains 

approved NNSR permit programs based 

on their nonattainment classification for 

the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The 

submitted certification letters provide a 

mechanism for each district to satisfy 

the 40 CFR 51.1314 submittal 

requirements based on their 2015 8-hour 

ozone nonattainment designations. The 

EPA’s analysis of how these SIP 

revisions address the NNSR 

requirements for the 2015 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS is provided below. 

III. Analysis of Nonattainment New 

Source Review Requirements 

NNSR is a preconstruction review 

permit program that applies to new 

major stationary sources or major 

modifications at existing sources within 

a nonattainment area and is required 

under CAA sections 172(c)(5) and 173. 

As mentioned in Section I of this 

document, NNSR permit program 

requirements were adopted for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS at 40 CFR 51.1314 by the 

implementation rule for the 2015 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS.5 The minimum SIP 

requirements for NNSR permitting 

programs for the 2015 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS are contained in 40 CFR 51.165. 

These NNSR program requirements 

include those promulgated in the 2015 

SIP Requirements Rule implementing 

the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The SIP 

for each ozone nonattainment area must 

contain NNSR provisions that: (1) Set 

major source thresholds for nitrogen 

oxides (NOX) and volatile organic 

compounds (VOC) pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(1)(iv)(A)(1)(i)–(iv) and 

(a)(1)(iv)(A)(2); (2) classify physical 

changes as a major source if the change 

would constitute a major source by itself 

pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(1)(iv)(A)(3); (3) consider any 

significant net emissions increase of 

NOX as a significant net emissions 

increase for ozone pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(1)(v)(E); (4) consider any 

increase of VOC emissions in Extreme 

ozone nonattainment areas as a 

significant net emissions increase and a 

major modification for ozone pursuant 

to 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(F); (5) set 

significant emissions rates for VOC and 

NOX as ozone precursors pursuant to 40 

CFR 51.165(a)(1)(x)(A)–(C) and (E); (6) 

contain provisions for emissions 

reductions credits pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(3)(ii)(C)(1)–(2); (7) provide 

that the requirements applicable to VOC 

also apply to NOX pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(8); (8) set offset ratios for VOC 

and NOX pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(9)(ii)–(iv); and (9) require 

public participation procedures 

compliant with 40 CFR 51.165(i). 

A. South Coast Air Quality Management 

District (SCAQMD) 

The SCAQMD’s longstanding SIPapproved NNSR program,6 established 

in Regulation XIII, ‘‘New Source 

Review,’’ of the SCAQMD’s Rules and 

Regulations, applies to the construction 

and modification of stationary sources, 

including major stationary sources in 

nonattainment areas under its 

jurisdiction. The SCAQMD’s submitted 

SIP revision includes a compliance 

demonstration, consisting of a table 

listing each of the 2015 ozone NAAQS 

NNSR SIP requirements from 40 CFR 

51.165 and a citation to the specific 

provision of the rule satisfying the 

requirement. The submittal also 

includes a certification by the SCAQMD 

that the cited rules meet the federal 

NNSR requirements for the applicable 

ozone nonattainment designations. 

These documents are available in the 

docket for this action. The EPA has 

reviewed the demonstration and cited 

program elements intended to meet the 

federal NNSR requirements and is 

proposing to approve the SCAQMD’s 

submittal because the current SIPapproved NSR program satisfies all the 

2015 SIP Requirements Rule NNSR 

program requirements applicable to the 

South Coast Air Basin as an Extreme 

ozone nonattainment area, and all the 

requirements applicable to the 

Coachella Valley Air Basin as a Severe 

ozone nonattainment area. 

B. Imperial County Air Pollution Control 

District (ICAPCD) 

The ICAPCD’s SIP-approved NNSR 

program,7 established in Rule 207, 

‘‘New and Modified Stationary Source 

Review,’’ of the ICAPCD’s Rules and 

Regulations, applies to the construction 

and modification of stationary sources, 

including major stationary sources in 

nonattainment areas under its 

jurisdiction. The ICAPCD’s submitted 

SIP revision includes a compliance 

demonstration, consisting of a table 

listing each of the 2015 ozone NAAQS 

NNSR SIP requirements from 40 CFR 

51.165 and a citation to the specific 

provision of the rule satisfying that 

requirement. The submittal also 

includes a certification by the ICAPCD 

that the cited rules meet the federal 

NNSR requirements for the applicable 

ozone nonattainment designation. These 

documents are available in the docket 

for this action. The EPA has reviewed 

the demonstration and cited program 

elements intended to meet the federal 

NNSR requirements and is proposing to 

approve the ICAPCD’s submittal 

because the current SIP-approved NSR 

program satisfies all the 2015 SIP 

Requirements Rule NNSR program 

requirements applicable to Imperial 

County as a Marginal nonattainment 

area. 

C. Ventura County Air Pollution Control 

District (VCAPCD) 

The VCAPCD’s SIP-approved NNSR 

program,8 established in Rule 26, ‘‘New 

Source Review,’’ of the VCAPCD’s Rules 

and Regulations, applies to the 

construction and modification of 

stationary sources, including major 

stationary sources in nonattainment 

areas under its jurisdiction. The 

VCAPCD’s submitted SIP revision 

includes a compliance demonstration, 

consisting of a table listing each of the 

2015 ozone NAAQS NNSR SIP 

requirements from 40 CFR 51.165 and a 

citation to the specific provision of the 

rule satisfying that requirement. The 

submittal also includes a certification by 

the VCAPCD that the cited rules meet 

the federal NNSR requirements for the 

applicable ozone nonattainment 

designation. These documents are 

available in the docket for this action. 

The EPA has reviewed the 

demonstration and cited program 

elements intended to meet the federal 

NNSR requirements and is proposing to 

approve the VCAPCD’s submittal 

because the current SIP-approved NSR 

program satisfies all the 2015 SIP 

Requirements Rule NNSR program 

requirements applicable to Ventura 

County as a Serious nonattainment area. 

IV. Proposed Action and Public 

Comment 

The EPA is proposing to approve SIP 

revisions addressing the NNSR 

requirements for the 2015 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS for the SCAQMD, the ICAPCD, 

and the VCAPCD. In support of this 

proposed action, we have concluded 

that our approval of the submitted 2015 

ozone certifications for each district 

would comply with section 110(l) of the 

Act because the submittals will not 

interfere with continued attainment of 

the NAAQS in each district. The EPA 

has concluded that the State’s 

submission fulfills the 40 CFR 51.1314 

revision requirement and meets the 

requirements of CAA sections 110, 

172(c)(5), 173, and 182(a)(2)(C), and the 

minimum SIP requirements of 40 CFR 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
22166 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 72 / Thursday, April 14, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

51.165. If we finalize this action as 

proposed, our action will incorporate 

these certifications into the federally 

enforceable SIP and be codified through 

revisions to 40 CFR 52.220 

(Identification of plan—in part). 

We will accept comments from the 

public on this proposal until May 16, 

2022. 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

In this proposed rule, the 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, the EPA is proposing to 

incorporate by reference the 

certifications listed in Table 1 of this 

preamble. The EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, these materials 

available electronically 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). 

VI. 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 proposed action 

merely proposes to approve 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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• Does not provide the 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, 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).

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) has before it 

a petition for rulemaking filed by Gray 

Television Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), 

the licensee of WMC–TV, channel 5, 

Memphis, Tennessee. The Petitioner 

requests the substitution of channel 30 

for channel 5 at Memphis in the Table 

of Allotments. 

DATES: Comments must be filed on or 

before May 16, 2022 and reply 

comments on or before May 31, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications 

Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45 

L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In 

addition to filing comments with the 

FCC, interested parties should serve 

counsel for the Petitioner as follows: 

Joan Stewart, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, 

2050 M Street NW, Washington, DC 

20036. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1647; or at Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

support, the Petitioner states the 

proposed channel substitution serves 

the public interest because it will 

resolve significant over-the-air reception 

problems in WMC–TV’s existing service 

area. The Petitioner further states that 

the Commission has recognized the 

deleterious effects manmade noise has 

on the reception of digital VHF signals, 

and that the propagation characteristics 

of these channels allow undesired 

signals and noise to be receivable at 

relatively farther distances compared to 

UHF channels, and nearby electrical 

devices can cause interference. 

According to the Petitioner, an analysis 

using the Commission’s TVStudy 

software tool indicates that WMC–TV’s 

move from channel 5 to channel 30 is 

predicted to create an area where 4,072 

persons are predicted to lose service. 

The loss area, however, is partially 

overlapped by the noise limited 

contours of other NBC affiliated stations 

and most viewers will continue to 

receive service from five or more 

stations. As a result, Petitioner asserts 

that only 64 persons would no longer 

receive NBC network programming, or 

service from five or more full power 

television services. In practice, Gray 

expects that few if any persons who are 

currently able to receive WMC–TV’s 

over-the-air signal on channel 5 would 

no longer be able to receive WMC–TV’s 

over-the-air signal as a result of the 

transition to channel 30.
