Strategies 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving several 

revisions to the New York State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) meant to 

result in emission reductions that will 

help attain and maintain the national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) 

for particulate matter (PM) and ozone. 

These SIP revisions consist of 

amendments to several existing 

regulations outlined within New York’s 

Codes, Rules, and Regulations that 

implement control measures for sources 

of PM and oxides of nitrogen (NOX). 

These actions are being taken in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). 

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 

5, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What is the background for these 

actions? 

On January 28, 2022, the EPA 

published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking that proposed to approve 

revisions to the New York SIP submitted 

by the State of New York on February 

3, 2021 and October 15, 2020. See 87 FR 

4530. The SIP revisions include adopted 

revisions to three regulations, Title 6 of 

the New York Code of Rules and 

Regulations (NYCRR), Part 219, 

‘‘Incinerators’’, and Part 222, 

‘‘Distributed Generation Sources’’, with 

state effective dates of March 14, 2020, 

and March 25, 2020, respectively. New 

York also submitted attendant revisions 

to Part 200, Section 200.9, ‘‘General 

Provisions, Referenced material’’. These 

revisions are applicable statewide, with 

the exception of Part 222 which will 

only be applicable to sources located 

within the New York Metropolitan 

Nonattainment Area (NYMA).1 These 

revisions include additional control 

strategies that will reduce NOX and PMX

emissions from major sources 

throughout the State. The EPA is 

approving New York’s SIP submittals 

listed within this action as a SIPstrengthening measure for New York’s 

ozone and PM SIP. The EPA is also 

approving New York’s SIP submittal 

since it incorporates additional RACT/ 

RACM rules for NOX at Municipal and 

Private Solid Waste Incineration Units. 

The specific details of New York’s SIP 

submittals and the rationale for the 

EPA’s approval action are explained in 

the EPA’s proposed rulemaking and are 

not restated in this final action. For this 

detailed information, the reader is 

referred to the EPA’s January 28, 2022, 

proposed rulemaking. See id. 

II. What comments were received in 

response to the EPA’s proposed action? 

In response to EPA’s January 28, 2022 

proposed rulemaking on New York’s SIP 

revisions, the EPA received three 

comments during the 30-day public 

comment period. The specific 

comments may be viewed under Docket 

ID Number EPA–R02–OAR–2021–0572 

on the https://regulations.gov website. 

Comment 1 & 2 

Two public comments received on 

February 14, 2022, were submitted by 

one anonymous commenter. Both 

comments are substantially similar and 

support the EPA’s proposed approval of 

New York’s SIP revisions. Both 

comments state that the revisions to 6 

NYCRR Part 219 and Part 222 are 

necessary to, ‘‘. . . make sure that an 

increase in PM and NOX emissions are 

avoided.’’ However, both comments also 

urge the EPA to reevaluate the Ozone 

levels outlined in the 2008 and 2015 

Ozone NAAQS due to the ever-changing 

environment and the growing 

population in the NYMA. 

Response 1 & 2 

The EPA acknowledges the 

commenter’s support of the EPA’s 

proposed rule. The EPA also recognizes 

the commenter’s request for the EPA to 

reevaluate and revisit the Ozone levels 

outline within the 2008 and 2015 Ozone 

NAAQS. While this issue is outside the 

scope of the present action, we note that 

on December 23, 2020, the EPA 

announced a decision to retain, without 

changes, the 2015 Ozone NAAQS 

(December 23, 2020 Decision). See 85 

FR 87256. However, on October 29, 

2021, the EPA announced that it will 

reconsider the December 23, 2020 

Decision.2

Comment 3 

The Midwest Ozone Group (MOG) 

submitted comments on February 28, 

2022, that urged the EPA to require New 

York to impose all emission controls for 

Distributed Generation Sources (DG 

Sources) units by 2023, instead of the 

adopted 2025 final phase year. MOG 

stated that a 2023 implementation 

timeframe will be consistent with the 

nonattainment obligations of the 

NYMA. MOG also provided details on 

how NOX emissions from New York’s 

DG Sources adversely impact upwind 

states like Connecticut and argued that 

the EPA’s proposed approval fails to 

recognize the impact on those upwind 

states and the Good Neighbor Provisions 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 106 / Thursday, June 2, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 33439 

3Under 6 NYCRR Part 222, applicable owners or 

operators of a DG source that will operate as an 

economic dispatch source must notify NYSDEC by 

March 15, 2021, or 30 days prior to operating the 

source, whichever is later. In addition, emission test 

reports demonstrating compliance with the 2025 

emission limits of Part 222 must be submitted and 

approved by the Department before a distributed 

generation source may be operated as an economic 

dispatch source on or after May 1, 2025. 

4Title 24, Chapter 1, Subchapter 6, Section 24– 

149.6 of New York City’s Administrative Code 

outlines emission control provisions for certificated 

stationary combustion compression ignition 

internal combustion engines operating within New 

York City. See, https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dep/ 

downloads/pdf/air/air-pollution-control-code.pdf. 

of the Clean Air Act. In addition, MOG 

provided the following comments, and 

extensive details for each, as follows: 

1. EPA has recognized the critical 

need to regulate NOX emissions from 

DG Sources units. 

2. In 2023, the only remaining ozone 

NAAQS nonattainment monitors in the 

Northeast are located in the Connecticut 

portion of the NYMA. 

3. It has been well-established that 

residual nonattainment in Connecticut 

and the NYMA is being caused by 

sources that include DG Sources units 

in New York. 

4. EPA should not allow New York to 

delay the implementation of those 

controls beyond the moderate 

nonattainment date for the 2015 ozone 

NAAQS. 

MOG’s comment letter also included: 

(1) Presentation slides distributed by the 

EPA on the analysis of ozone trends in 

the east in relation to interstate 

transport, (2) and a data analysis 

presentation conducted by the 

Stationary and Area Source Committee 

on high emitting Electric Generating 

Units during High Electric Demand 

Days throughout states within the 

Ozone Transport Region. MOG referred 

to these attachments in its comments on 

EPA’s proposed action. 

Response 3 

In this action, EPA is approving New 

York’s rules into the state’s SIP as a SIP 

strengthening measure. This action is 

not intended to satisfy specific 

nonattainment planning obligations 

under the Clean Air Act. Rather, EPA is 

approving these New York regulations 

into the SIP pursuant to CAA section 

110(k)(3), which states that EPA ‘‘shall 

approve [a SIP] submittal as a whole if 

it meets all the applicable requirements 

of this chapter.’’ Because this SIP 

revision relates to criteria pollutants and 

strengthens the preexisting 

requirements in the New York SIP, EPA 

has determined it is appropriate to 

approve the SIP revision. 

EPA finds no basis, and the 

commenter has not provided one, to 

disapprove New York’s submittal solely 

on grounds related to the timing of the 

regulations at issue in relation to the 

attainment dates. There are multiple 

separate nonattainment obligations that 

apply to New York pursuant to subpart 

2 of part D of title I of the CAA, 

including requirements related to 

ensuring nonattainment areas attain the 

NAAQS by the applicable attainment 

date. EPA acknowledges that the State 

of New York has unmet attainment 

planning obligations for the NYMA 

nonattainment area. The EPA makes no 

finding in this action that New York has 

satisfied those obligations and does not 

make any finding as to whether the 

regulations approved through this 

action would be sufficient to meet 

separate nonattainment planning 

obligations. EPA action on any SIP 

revision submitted by New York to meet 

nonattainment planning requirements 

would be a separate rulemaking with an 

opportunity for public comment. 

The EPA considers comments related 

to interstate transport obligations under 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) to be 

beyond the scope of this action. The 

EPA’s actions addressing interstate 

transport under the 2008 and 2015 

ozone NAAQS are separate rulemakings 

with their own comment periods and 

the separate availability of judicial 

review. The EPA will not address 

comments in this action that are 

unrelated to this action. 

The EPA also reviewed NYSDEC’s SIP 

revision to examine if similar comments 

were presented during the department’s 

assessment of public comments for the 

proposal of Part 222. Representatives 

from energy management and 

sustainable energy organizations each 

submitted comments that requested 

NYSDEC to provide additional 

justification for why DG Sources need to 

be considered an economic dispatch 

source to be subject to the control 

requirements in Part 222. The 

commentors questioned why the 

adopted rule would not apply to 

distributed generation sources that 

provide electricity to power equipment 

or structures not served by distribution 

utilities and stated that these DG 

Sources not connected to the electrical 

grid could run fossil fuel-fired 

generators without any restrictions 

under Part 222. NYSDEC responded to 

the comments by stating that the 

purpose of Part 222 is to address and 

reduce emissions from emergency 

engines used in non-emergency 

applications, which include DG Sources 

classified as economic dispatch sources. 

Within NYSDEC’s SIP revision of Part 

222, the department also stated that 

sources that are not connected to the 

grid, which are not subject to Part 222, 

will be subject to 6 NYCRR Part 201, 

‘‘Permits and Registrations’’. 

NYSDEC also stated that it consulted 

with stakeholders including the New 

York Independent System Operator 

(NYISO), to develop a rule that 

improves air quality while maintaining 

a reliable electric grid. Therefore, 

NYSDEC chose the 2021 and 2025 

timeframes to strike a balance in 

improving air quality and maintaining 

electric grid reliability. NYSDEC also 

factored in the time for owners or 

operators applicable to Part 222 to 

replace their DG Sources with sources 

that are at least model year 2000 or 

retrofit their sources with the required 

control technology. NYSDEC also 

factored in the time demands for 

permitting requirements and emission 

testing and believes that the compliance 

schedule in the regulation is 

appropriate.3 The 2025 timeframe 

builds upon and parallels existing 

protections in other New York 

regulations applicable to DG Sources. 

NYSDEC also chose the 2025 timeframe 

since most sources subject to Part 222 

will also have to comply with the 

emission provisions outlined in Section 

24–149.6 of the New York City Air 

Pollution Code.4 Starting on January 1, 

2025, stationary engines applicable to 

Section 24–149.6 must also demonstrate 

compliance with the EPA’s Tier IV 

emissions standards set forth in 40 CFR 

part 60, subpart III, ‘‘Standards of 

Performance for Stationary Combustion 

Ignition Internal Combustion Engines’’. 

NYSDEC also stated that sources that 

are not connected to the grid, and are 

not subject to Part 222, will be subject 

to 6 NYCRR Part 201, ‘‘Permits and 

Registrations’’. The revisions made to 

Part 222 impose emission limits and 

control technology requirements onto 

emergency engines located within the 

NYMA, which are sources not currently 

regulated under Title 6 NYCRR Subpart 

227–2, ‘‘Reasonably Available Control 

Technology (RACT) for Major Facilities 

of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX)’’. The 2021 

and 2025 timeframe provides time for 

owners or operators of applicable DG 

Sources to retire older units and 

implement control technologies, while 

maintaining the reliability of the electric 

grid. NYSDEC also states within its SIP 

revision that a regulatory strategy to 

address emissions from DG Sources not 

subject to Part 222 or Subpart 227–2 

may be addressed through a separate 

rulemaking effort. 

NYSDEC has also revised Part 222 to 

add subdivision 222.4(c), which 

establishes up to a two-year extension to 

the 2021 and 2025 compliance dates in 

cases where owners or operators can

provide evidence, such as contracts, to 

demonstrate that they intend to meet the 

emission limits set forth in section 

222.4(b) (control requirements) as 

expeditiously as practicable, but no later 

than April 30, 2027. 

This concludes our response to the 

comments received. No changes have 

been made to the proposed rule as a 

result of the comments received. 

III. What action is the EPA taking? 

The EPA is approving as SIP 

strengthening measures New York’s SIP 

revision submittals, dated February 3, 

2021, and October 15, 2020, for the 

purpose of incorporating the revisions 

made to 6 NYCRR Subpart 219, 

‘‘Incinerators’’, and 6 NYCRR Part 222, 

‘‘Distributed Generation Sources’’, with 

a state effective date of March 14, 2020, 

and March 25, 2020, respectively. The 

EPA is also approving the attendant 

revisions made to Part 200, Subpart 

200.9, ‘‘General Provisions, Referenced 

material’’. The EPA evaluated New 

York’s submittals for consistency with 

the Clean Air Act, EPA regulations, and 

EPA policy. The EPA finds that these 

submissions strengthen New York’s 

Ozone and PM SIPs. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this document, the EPA is 

finalizing regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of 6 NYCRR Part 200, 

Subpart 200.9, ‘‘General Provisions, 

Referenced material’’, Part 219, 

‘‘Incinerators’’, and Part 222, 

‘‘Distributed Generation Sources’’, as 

described in Section I of this preamble 

and set forth below in the amendments 

to 40 CFR part 52. The EPA has made 

and will continue to make these 

materials generally available through 

https://regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region 2 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

Therefore, these materials have been 

approved by EPA for inclusion in New 

York’s SIP, have been incorporated by 

reference by EPA into that SIP, and are 

fully federally enforceable under 

sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of 

the effective date of the final rulemaking 

of EPA’s approval, and will be 

incorporated by reference in the next 

update to the SIP compilation.5

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. See 42 U.S.C. 

7410(k); see also 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 final 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), 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 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 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 

any substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

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 August 1, 2022. 

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)).

Synopsis 

As required by the Paperwork
