40 CFR Part 52

[R03-OAR-2004-PA-0001, R03-OAR-2004-PA-0002; FRL-7980-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Revision to the Motor Vehicle Enhanced I/M Program--
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, South Central, and Northern Regions and 
Safety Inspection Program Enhancements for Non-I/M Regions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is approving several State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These 
revisions amend Pennsylvania`s existing, Federally-approved enhanced 
vehicle inspection and maintenance program (or I/M program) SIP. EPA is 
herein taking a single final rulemaking action to finalize two 
separately issued proposed rulemakings on the subject of Pennsylvania's 
I/M program. The intended effect of this combined final action is to 
approve the Commonwealth's revised I/M program SIP for the 
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, South Central and Northern Regions. This 
action also serves to incorporate into the SIP a visual emission 
component inspection program done under the Commonwealth's annual 
safety inspection program in those 42 counties of Pennsylvania not 
subject to Federal I/M program requirements.

DATES: This final rule is effective on November 7, 2005.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established two dockets for this action under 
Regional Material in E-Docket (RME) ID Number R03-OAR-2004-PA-0001 and 
Number R03-OAR-2004-PA-0002. All documents in the docket are listed in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    EPA published two concurrent notices of proposed rulemaking (NPR) 
on April 26, 2005 proposing to approve two separate SIP revisions 
submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. One of these April 26, 
2005 NPRs (70 FR 21384) proposed approval of the Commonwealth's revised 
motor vehicle enhanced I/M program as it applies to select geographic 
regions of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania regions affected by that 
rulemaking action include the South Central Region (Berks, Cumberland, 
Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Northampton, and York Counties) 
and the Northern Region (Blair, Cambria, Centre, Lackawanna, Luzerne, 
Lycoming, and Mercer Counties). EPA also proposed to approve portions 
of Pennsylvania's revised safety inspection program (for areas not 
subject to Federal enhanced I/M requirements) related to visual 
inspection of certain vehicle components that serve to reduce 
emissions. This emission component visual inspection element of the 
state safety inspection program is a new requirement for 42 
Pennsylvania counties (see EPA's NPR for the complete list of affected 
counties). The Commonwealth's formal SIP revision, which was the 
subject of this notice, was submitted by Pennsylvania on December 1, 
2003, and was revised via a technical SIP amendment submitted by 
Pennsylvania on April 29, 2004.
    In the second of April 26, 2005 (70 FR 21380) rulemaking actions 
regarding Pennsylvania's I/M, EPA proposed approval of the revised 
enhanced I/M programs applicable in the Pittsburgh Region (Allegheny, 
Beaver, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties) and the Philadelphia 
Region (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia 
Counties). The Commonwealth submitted a formal SIP revision on January 
30, 2004 applicable only to these two Regions. This SIP revision was 
also revised by Pennsylvania via a technical SIP amendment submitted to 
EPA on April 29, 2004.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    EPA granted prior SIP approval to Pennsylvania's previously adopted 
I/M SIP in June 1999. Pennsylvania submitted formal SIP revisions to 
amend that SIP-approved I/M program

[[Page 58314]]

program on December 1, 2003 (as revised April 29, 2004) and January 30, 
2004 (as revised April 29, 2004). Hereafter, we will refer to these SIP 
revisions as the December 2003 and the January 2004 SIPs, respectively.
    These SIP revisions, when viewed together, requested incorporation 
of newly state-adopted provisions effecting the Pittsburgh, 
Philadelphia, South Central, and Northern I/M program regions of 
Pennsylvania. These Pennsylvania counties are required to implement 
enhanced I/M under authority of Sections 182 and 184 of the Clean Air 
Act.
    The December 2003 SIP revision serves to amend Pennsylvania's I/M 
program applicable to the South Central and Northern Regions by 
replacing a previously SIP-approved tailpipe test requirement for the 
South Central Region with on-board diagnostic testing of 1996 and newer 
subject vehicles, coupled with gas cap testing on all 1975 and newer 
subject vehicles, and visual emission component inspection of pre-1996 
vehicles. For the Northern Region, the Commonwealth's December 2003 SIP 
revision requires visual component inspections and gas cap testing on 
1975 and newer vehicles. This SIP revision also adds visual emission 
component inspections to the Commonwealth's existing, annual safety 
inspection program as it applies in those regions of Pennsylvania not 
subject to I/M emissions testing under authority of the Clean Air Act 
(i.e., the non-I/M Region).
    The Commonwealth's January 2004 SIP revision revises the I/M 
program for the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Regions. Changes to the 
prior SIP-approved I/M program affecting these regions include addition 
of on-board diagnostic (or OBD) computer checks for 1996 and newer 
vehicles and revision of the I/M test regimen to phase out tailpipe 
testing on pre-1996 vehicles when those vehicles reach 25 years of age. 
The January 2004 SIP revision overlaps the December 2003 SIP in some 
regards, including incorporation of some of the same state regulatory 
provision (i.e., minor updates to the regulations made since the 
enhanced I/M program's inception in 1997) that are overarching in scope 
to all geographic areas to the Commonwealth.
    For more detail on the substance of the changes to Pennsylvania's 
annual enhanced I/M and safety inspection programs, and the rationale 
for EPA's proposed actions, please refer to the two concurrently 
published EPA proposed rulemaking actions in the April 26, 2005 Federal 
Register, as that information is not be restated here in its entirety. 
No public comments were received on these two proposed rulemaking 
actions.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving Pennsylvania's enhanced I/M program SIP revisions 
submitted on December 2003 and January 2004 (as amended April 2005) as 
a single revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. While EPA took two separate, 
concurrent proposed rulemaking actions on these two SIP revisions on 
April 26, 2004, we have decided to take a single, combined final 
rulemaking action to approve them. The rationale for this decision is 
that both the December 2003 and the January 2004 SIP revisions contain 
portions of the same Pennsylvania emission inspection program 
regulation, which was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on 
November 22, 2003 (67 Pa Code Chapter 177). Pennsylvania initially 
submitted redacted portions of the same regulation as part of each 
separate SIP revision (submitted November 2003 and January 2004 SIP). 
Pennsylvania redacted those regulatory provisions not relevant to the 
geographic areas that were the subject of each SIP revision. 
Pennsylvania later amended each of the SIP revisions (via the April 29, 
2004 technical correction SIP revision) to submit the entire, revised 
emission program regulation (67 Pa Code Chapter 177) as part of both 
SIP revisions. Since EPA received no adverse comments on our concurrent 
proposed rulemaking actions taken upon the December 2003 and the 
January 2004 SIP revisions, and in order to simplify incorporation by 
reference of Pennsylvania's emission program regulations into the 
Federal SIP, we are moving to take this single, combined final 
rulemaking action for these SIP revisions.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this 
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, 
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action 
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes 
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because 
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does 
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by 
state law, it 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). This rule also does not 
have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct 
effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the 
Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, 
as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 
This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does 
not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship 
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution 
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, 
as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). 
This action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal 
requirement, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of 
power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule 
also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of Children 
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 
23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In 
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the 
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP 
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise 
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements 
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not 
impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small

[[Page 58315]]

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 rule 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. This rule is not a 
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action to approve Pennsylvania's revised motor 
vehicle inspection and maintenance program must be filed in the United 
States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 5, 
2005. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of 
this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
