[CA 095-0006a; FRL-5454-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California 
State Implementation Plan Revision, Placer County Air Pollution Control 
District, El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District, Ventura 
County Air Pollution Control District, Yolo-Solano Air Quality 
Management District, and Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on revisions to the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern rules 
from the following districts: Placer County Air Pollution Control 
District (PLCAPCD), El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District 
(EDCAPCD), Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VTCAPCD), 
Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD), and Mojave Desert 
Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD). This approval action will 
incorporate these rules into the federally approved SIP. The intended 
effect of approving these rules is to regulate emissions of volatile 
organic compounds (VOCs) in accordance with the requirements of the 
Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The revised rules 
control VOC emissions from automotive refinishing, solvent cleaning and 
degreasing, wood coating and graphic arts operations. Thus, EPA is 
finalizing the approval of these revisions into the California SIP 
under provisions of the CAA regarding EPA action on SIP submittal, SIPs 
for national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards and 
plan requirements for nonattainment areas.

DATES: This action is effective on July 1, 1996, unless adverse or 
critical comments are received by May 30, 1996. If the effective date 
is delayed, a timely notice will be published in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the rule revisions and EPA's evaluation report for 
each rule are available for public inspection at EPA's Region IX office 
during normal business hours. Copies of the submitted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicability

    The rules being approved into the California SIP include: PLCAPCD's 
Rule 216, Organic Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations, and Rule 
236, Wood Products Coating Operations; EDCAPCD's Rule 225, Organic 
Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations, Rule 230, Motor Vehicle and 
Mobile Equipment Coating Operations and Rule 235, Surface Preparation 
and Cleanup; VTCAPCD's Rule 74.18 Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment 
Coating Operations and Rule 74.30, Wood Products Coatings; YSAQMD's 
Rule 2.13, Organic Solvents and Rule 2.26, Motor Vehicle and Mobile 
Equipment Coating Operations; MDAQMD's Rule 1104, Organic Solvent 
Degreasing Operations, Rule 1114, Wood Products Coating Operations and 
Rule 1117, Graphic Arts. These rules were submitted by the California 
Air Resources Board (CARB) to EPA on July 13, 1994 (Rules 74.30 and 
1117), November 30, 1994 (Rules 225, 230, 1104, and 2.13), February 24, 
1995 (Rule 74.18 and 2.26), March 31, 1995 (Rule 1114), May 24, 1995 
(Rule 236) and October 13, 1995 (Rules 216 and 235).

Background

    On March 3, 1978, EPA promulgated a list of ozone nonattainment 
areas under the provisions of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1977 
(1977 Act or pre-amended Act), that included Ventura County, part of 
the Southeast Desert Air Basin, and the Sacramento Metro area, which 
includes portions of Placer, Yolo, and El Dorado County. See 43 FR 
8964, 40 CFR 81.305. On May 26, 1988, EPA notified the Governor of 
California, pursuant to section 110(a)(2)(H) of the 1977 Act, that the 
PLCAPCD, EDCAPCD, VTCAPCD, YSAQMD and the MDAQMD portions of the 
California SIP were inadequate to attain and maintain the ozone 
standard and requested that deficiencies in the existing SIP be 
corrected (EPA's SIP-Call). On November 15, 1990, the Clean Air Act 
Amendments of 1990 were enacted. Public Law 101-549, 104 Stat. 2399, 
codified at 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q. In amended section 182 of the CAA, 
Congress statutorily adopted the requirements that nonattainment areas 
both fix their deficient reasonably available control technology (RACT) 
rules for ozone and submit RACT rules for other stationary sources of 
VOCs (the RACT fix-up and catch-up requirements). Congress established 
a deadline of May 15, 1991 for States to submit corrections to 
deficient rules and a deadline of November 15, 1992 for States to 
submit rules for other VOC source categories.
    Section 182 applies to areas designated as nonattainment prior to 
enactment of the amendments and classified as marginal or above as of 
the date of enactment. It requires such areas to adopt and correct RACT 
rules pursuant to pre-amended section 172 (b) as interpreted in pre-
amendment guidance.<SUP>1 EPA's SIP-Call used that guidance to indicate 
the necessary corrections for specific nonattainment areas. Ventura 
County, a portion of the Southeast Desert Air Basin, the Sacramento 
Metro area, which includes portions of Placer, Yolo and El Dorado 
County are classified as severe;<SUP>2 therefore, these areas were 
subject to the RACT fix-up and catch-up requirements and the deadlines 
cited above.<SUP>3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Among other things, the pre-amendment guidance consists of 
those portions of the proposed post-1987 ozone and carbon monoxide 
policy that concern RACT, 52 FR 45044 (November 24, 1987); ``Issues 
Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and Deviations, 
Clarification to Appendix D of November 24, 1987 Federal Register 
Notice'' (Blue Book) (notice of availability was published in the 
Federal Register on May 25, 1988); and the existing control 
technique guidelines (CTGs).
    \2\ Ventura County and a portion of the Southeast Desert Air 
Basin retained their designation of nonattainment and were 
classified by operation of law pursuant to sections 107(d) and 
181(a) upon the date of enactment of the CAA. See 55 FR 56694 
(November 6, 1991). The Sacramento Metro Area was reclassified from 
serious to severe on June 1, 1995. See 60 FR 20237 (April 25, 1995)
    \3\ California did not make the required SIP submittal for 
Mojave Desert AQMD's Rule 1104, Graphic Arts, by November 15, 1992. 
On January 15, 1993, the EPA made a finding of failure to make a 
submittal pursuant to section 179(a)(1), which started an 18 month 
sanction clock. The rule being acted on in this direct final rule 
was submitted in response to the EPA finding of failure to submit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The State of California submitted many revised RACT rules for 
incorporation into its SIP on July 13, 1994, November 30, 1994, 
February 24, 1995, March 31, 1995, May 24, 1995, and October 13, 1995, 
including the rules being acted on in this document. This document 
addresses EPA's direct-final action for PLCAPCD's Rule 216, Organic 
Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations, and 236, Wood Products 
Coating Operations; EDCAPCD's Rules 225, Organic Solvent Cleaning and 
Degreasing Operations, 230, Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating 
Operations, and 235, Surface Preparation and Cleanup; VTCAPCD's Rules 
74.18 Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations, and 74.30, 
Wood Products Coatings; YSAQMD's Rules 2.13, Organic Solvents, and 
2.26, Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations; MDAQMD's 
Rules 1104, Organic Solvent Degreasing Operations, 1114, Wood Products 
Coating Operations and 1117, Graphic Arts. These submitted rules were 
found to be complete on July 22, 1994 (1117), September 12, 1994 
(74.30), January 3, 1995 (1104), January 30, 1995 (2.13, 225, and 230), 
March 10, 1995 (74.18, 2.26,), May 2, 1995 (1114), July 24, 1995 (236), 
and November 28, 1995 (216, 235) pursuant to EPA's completeness 
criteria that are set forth in 40 CFR part 51 Appendix V <SUP>4 and are 
being finalized for approval into the SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ EPA adopted the completeness criteria on February 16, 1990 
(55 FR 5830) and, pursuant to section 110(k)(1)(A) of the CAA, 
revised the criteria on August 26, 1991 (56 FR 42216).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    VTCAPCD's Rule 74.18, EDCAPCD's Rule 230, and YSAQMD's Rule 2.26 
control emissions of VOCs from refinishing of motor vehicles and mobile 
equipment, YSAQMD's Rule 2.13 controls emissions of VOCs from the usage 
of organic solvents, EDCAPCD's Rule 235 controls emissions of VOCs from 
surface preparation and cleanup using organic solvents, EDAPCD's Rule 
225, PLCAPCD's Rule 216 and MDAQMD's Rule 1104 control emissions of 
VOCs from organic solvent degreasing operations, PLCAPCD's Rule 236, 
MDAQMD's Rule 1114 and VTCAPCD's Rule 74.30 control emissions of VOCs 
from coating of wood products and MDAQMD's Rule 1117

[[Page 18964]]

controls emissions of VOCs from graphic arts operations. VOCs 
contribute to the production of ground level ozone and smog. These 
rules were originally adopted by the respective districts as part of 
their effort to achieve the National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
(NAAQS) for ozone and in response to EPA's SIP-Call and the section 
182(a)(2)(A) CAA requirement. The following is EPA's evaluation and 
final action for these rules.

EPA Evaluation and Action

    In determining the approvability of a VOC rule, EPA must evaluate 
the rule for consistency with the requirements of the CAA and EPA 
regulations, as found in section 110 and part D of the CAA and 40 CFR 
part 51 (Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of 
Implementation Plans). The EPA interpretation of these requirements, 
which forms the basis for today's action, appears in the various EPA 
policy guidance documents listed in footnote 1. Among those provisions 
is the requirement that a VOC rule must, at a minimum, provide for the 
implementation of RACT for stationary sources of VOC emissions. This 
requirement was carried forth from the pre-amended Act.
    For the purpose of assisting state and local agencies in developing 
RACT rules, EPA prepared a series of Control Technique Guideline (CTG) 
documents. The CTGs are based on the underlying requirements of the Act 
and specify the presumptive norms for what is RACT for specific source 
categories. Under the CAA, Congress ratified EPA's use of these 
documents, as well as other Agency policy, for requiring States to 
``fix-up'' their RACT rules. See section 182(a)(2)(A). The CTG 
applicable to EDCAPCD's Rule 225, PLCAPCD's Rule 216 and MDAQMD's Rule 
1104 is entitled, Control of Volatile Organic Emissions From Solvent 
Metal Cleaning. EPA-450/2-77-022, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, November 1977, and the 
CTG applicable to MDAQMD's Rule 1117 is entitled, Control of Volatile 
Organic Emissions from Stationary Sources--Volume VIII: Graphic Arts--
Rotogravure and Flexography, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Office of Air Quality And Standards, December 1978, EPA-450/2-78-033. 
MDAQMD's Rule 1114 and VTCAPCD's Rule 74.30 limit emissions from a 
source category for which EPA has published a draft CTG entitled, 
Control Techniques Guideline Document; Wood Furniture Finishing and 
Cleaning Operation, see 60 FR 46595, September 7, 1995, which was used 
as guidance in the evaluation. VTCAPCD's Rule 74.18, EDCAPCD's Rules 
230 and 235, and YSAQMD's Rule 2.26, and 2.13 are applicable to source 
categories for which EPA has not published a CTG. Accordingly, these 
rules were evaluated against the interpretation of EPA policy found in 
the Blue Book, referred to in Footnote 1 and against other EPA policy 
including the EPA Region 9/CARB document entitled: Guidance Document 
for correcting VOC rule deficiencies, (April 1991). In general, these 
guidance documents have been set forth to ensure that VOC rules are 
fully enforceable and strengthen or maintain the SIP.

Therefore, PLCAPCD's Rules 216, Organic Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing 
Operations, and 236, Wood Products Coating Operations, EDCAPCD's Rules 
225, Organic Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations, 230, Motor 
Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations, and 235, Surface 
Preparation and Cleanup, VTCAPCD's Rules 74.18, Motor Vehicle and 
Mobile Equipment Coating Operations, and 74.30, Wood Products Coating, 
YSAQMD's Rules 2.13, Organic Solvents, and 2.26, Motor Vehicles and 
Mobile Equipment Coating Operations, and MDAQMD's Rules 1104, Organic 
Solvent Degreasing Operations, 1114, Wood Products Coating, and 1114, 
Graphic Arts, are being approved under section 110(k)(3) of the CAA as 
meeting the requirements of section 110(a) and part D.
    Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or 
allowing or establishing a precedent for any future implementation 
plan. Each request for revision to the state implementation plan shall 
be considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and 
environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and 
regulatory requirements.
    EPA is publishing this document without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no 
adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal 
Register publication, the EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision 
should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be 
effective July 1, 1996, unless, by May 30, 1996, adverse or critical 
comments are received.
    If the EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn 
before the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will 
withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a 
proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on 
this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should 
do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public is 
advised that this action will be effective July 1, 1996.

Regulatory Process

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA 
must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of 
any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604. 
Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small 
entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises and 
government entities with jurisdiction over population of less than 
50,000.
    SIP approvals under sections 110 and 301(a) and subchapter I, Part 
D of the CAA do not create any new requirements, but simply approve 
requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the 
Federal SIP-approval does not impose any new requirements, I certify 
that it does not have a significant impact on any small entities 
affected. Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-state relationship 
under the CAA, preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis would

[[Page 18966]]

constitute Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state 
action. The CAA forbids EPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such 
grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S. E.P.A., 427 U.S. 246, 256-66 (S. 
Ct. 1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410 (a)(2).

Unfunded Mandates

    Under Sections 202, 203, and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act of 1995 (``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 
1995, EPA must undertake various actions in association with proposed 
or final rules that include a Federal mandate that may result in 
estimated costs of $100 million or more to the private sector or to 
State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate.
    Through submission of this state implementation plan or plan 
revision, the State and any affected local or tribal governments have 
elected to adopt the program provided for under Part D of the Clean Air 
Act. These rules may bind State, local, and tribal governments to 
perform certain actions and also require the private sector to perform 
certain duties. The rules being [proposed for approval/approved] by 
this action will impose no new requirements because affected sources 
are already subject to these regulations under State law. Therefore, no 
additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments or to the 
private sector result from this action. EPA has also determined that 
this [proposed or final] action does not include a mandate that may 
result in estimated costs of $100 million or more to State, local, or 
tribal governments in the aggregate or to the private sector.
    This action has been classified as a Table 3 action for signature 
by the Regional Administrator under the procedures published in the 
Federal Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR 2214-2225), as revised by a 
July 10, 1995 memorandum from Mary Nichols, Assistant Administrator for 
Air and Radiation. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
exempted this regulatory action from Executive Order 12866 review.
