Air Plan Approval; California; San

Control Technology 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking final action to 

approve revisions to the San Diego Air 

Pollution Control District (SDAPCD or 

‘‘District’’) portion of the California 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern SDAPCD’s negative 

declarations for certain Control 

Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) as they 

apply to the 2008 and 2015 ozone 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS or ‘‘standards’’) reasonably 

available control technology (RACT) 

SIP. We are approving revisions that 

regulate these emission sources under 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). This 

approval stops all sanction and federal 

implementation plan clocks started by 

our December 3, 2020 partial approval 

and partial disapproval. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 29, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R09–OAR–2022–0253. All 

documents in the docket are listed on 

the https://www.regulations.gov 

website. Although listed in the index, 

some information is not publicly 

available, e.g., Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

I. Proposed Action 

On April 13, 2022 (87 FR 21822), the 

EPA proposed to approve the following 

rule into the California SIP. 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED DOCUMENT 1

Local agency Document Adopted Submitted 

SDAPCD ................... ‘‘2020 Reasonably Available Control Technology Demonstration for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards For Ozone in San Diego County, October 2020 (2020 

RACT SIP)—Negative Declarations for the 2008 and 2015 NAAQS:.

10/14/2020 12/29/2020 

Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products (EPA–450/2–78–029).

Control Techniques Guidelines for Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials 

(EPA–453/R–08–004).

Control Techniques Guidelines for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings (EPA–453/R–08–003); Table 3—Plastic Parts and Products, Table 4— 

Automotive/Transportation and Business Machine Plastic Parts, Table 5— 

Pleasure Craft Surface Coating, Table 6—Motor Vehicle Materials.

We proposed to approve these 

revisions because we determined that 

they comply with the relevant CAA 

requirements. Our proposed action 

contains more information on the rule 

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 one nongermane comment. Therefore, we are 

finalizing our action as proposed. 

III. EPA Action 

No comments were submitted that 

change our assessment of the rule as 

described in our proposed action. 

Therefore, as authorized in section 

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

approving the negative declarations into 

the California SIP. This approval stops 

all sanction and federal implementation 

plan clocks started by our December 3, 

2020 partial approval and partial 

disapproval actions on the SDAPCD 

RACT SIP. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d) of 

the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA), the EPA finds there is good 

cause for this action to become effective 

immediately upon publication. The 

immediate effective date for this action 

is authorized under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1). 

Section 553(d)(1) of the APA provides 

that final rules shall not become 

effective until 30 days after publication 

in the Federal Register ‘‘except . . . a 

substantive rule which grants or 

recognizes an exemption or relieves a 

restriction.’’ The purpose of this 

provision is to ‘‘give affected parties a 

reasonable time to adjust their behavior 

before the final rule takes effect.’’ 

Omnipoint Corp. v. Fed. Commc’n 

Comm’n, 78 F.3d 620, 630 (DC Cir. 

1996); see also United States v. 

Gavrilovic, 551 F.2d 1099, 1104 (8th Cir. 

1977) (quoting legislative history). 

However, when the agency grants or 

recognizes an exemption or relieves a 

restriction, affected parties do not need 

a reasonable time to adjust because the 

effect is not adverse. The EPA has 

determined that this rule relieves a 

restriction because this rule terminates 

the sanctions and federal 

implementation plan clocks started by 

our December 3, 2020 partial approval 

and partial disapproval. Upon the 

effective date of this action, the 

sanctions and federal implementation 

plan clocks will stop. For this reason, 

the EPA finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(1) for this action to become 

effective on the date of publication of 

this action. 

IV. 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 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 29, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 38667 

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). 

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. The 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).
