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, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law. 

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

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. Section 804, 

however, exempts from section 801 the 

following types of rules: rules of 

particular applicability; rules relating to 

agency management or personnel; and 

rules of agency organization, procedure, 

or practice that do not substantially 

affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties. 5 U.S.C. 804(3). Because 

this is a rule of particular applicability, 

EPA is not required to submit a rule 

report regarding this action under 

section 801. 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

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 November 14, 

2008. 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, pertaining to the 

removal of the Norfolk Southern 

Railway Company—East End Shops’ 

NOX RACT permit, may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Today’s Action 

II. What Is the Background for This Action? 

III. Final Action 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Today’s Action 

On January 8, 2008, ADEM submitted 

proposed SIP revisions to EPA for 

review and approval into the Alabama 

SIP. The revisions include changes 

made by the State of Alabama to AAC 

Chapters 335–3–1 and 335–3–3. The 

rules became state effective on January 

22, 2008. EPA is now taking direct final 

action to approve the revisions, which 

include revising the definition of VOC, 

and updating an open burning 

regulation. These revisions are part of 

the State’s strategy to meet the national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) 

by reducing emissions of VOCs. 

The revision to Chapter 335–3–1- 

.02(gggg), submitted by ADEM, added 

one compound to the list of those 

excluded from the definition of VOC, on 

the basis that this compound makes a 

negligible contribution to ozone 

formation. This revision modified the 

definition to say that: 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5- 

decafluoro-3-methoxy-4- 

trifluoromethyl-pentane (also known as 

HFE–7300 or L–14787 or 

C2F5CF(OCH3)CF(CF3)2), will be 

considered to be negligibly reactive. 

Additionally, ADEM is revising the 

Open Burning regulation found at 

Chapter 335–3–3.01(2)(e), to delete an 

outdated provision which applied only 

in 2006. The revisions summarized 

above are approvable pursuant to 

section 110 of the CAA. 

II. What Is the Background for This 

Action? 

Revisions to Chapter 335–3–1 

Tropospheric ozone, commonly 

known as smog, occurs when VOC and 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) react in the 

atmosphere. Because of the harmful 

health effects of ozone, EPA limits the 

amount of VOC and NOX that can be 

released into the atmosphere. VOC are 

those compounds of carbon (excluding 

carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, 

carbonic acid, metallic carbides or 

carbonates, and ammonium carbonate) 

which form ozone through atmospheric 

photochemical reactions. Compounds of 

carbon (or organic compounds) have 

different levels of reactivity; they do not 

react at the same speed, or do not form 

ozone to the same extent. 

It has been EPA’s policy that 

compounds of carbon with a negligible 

level of reactivity need not be regulated 

to reduce ozone (see, 42 FR 35314, July 

8, 1977). EPA determines whether a 

given carbon compound has 

‘‘negligible’’ reactivity by comparing the 

compound’s reactivity to the reactivity 

of ethane. EPA lists these compounds in 

its regulations at 40 CFR 51.100(s), and 

excludes them from the definition of 

VOC. The chemicals on this list are 

often called ‘‘negligibly reactive.’’ EPA 

may periodically revise the list of 

negligibly reactive compounds to add 

compounds to or delete them from the 

list. 

EPA finalized such a rule on January 

18, 2007 (72 FR 2193), approving the 

addition of 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5- 

decafluoro-3-methoxy-4- 

trifluoromethyl-pentane to the list of 

those compounds excluded from the 

definition of VOC. ADEM is updating 

the State regulation to be consistent 

with federal regulations. 

Revisions to Chapter 335–3–3 

The ‘‘Open Burning’’ regulation in 

Chapter 3 is being revised to delete Rule 

335–3–3–.01(2)(e). As currently written, 

subparagraph 2(e) allows open burning 

in the counties of DeKalb, Etowah, 

Russell, and Talladega during the 

months of May, June, July, August, 

September, and October, during 2006 

only, provided that an air curtain 

incinerator is used during burning. 

Alabama is updating the SIP to remove 

this rule, as it applied to the 2006 

calendar year only. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving revisions to the 

Alabama SIP submitted on January 8, 

2008. The SIP revision includes changes 

to the VOC regulations which are part 

of the State’s strategy to meet the 

NAAQS. The action amends Rules 335– 

3–1–.02(gggg) to update the definition of 

VOC to be consistent with EPA 

regulations, and deletes an outdated 

open burning provision in rule 335–3– 

3–.01(2)(e). These changes are 

consistent with the CAA. 

The EPA is publishing this rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. However, in the proposed 

rules section of this Federal Register 

publication, EPA is publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposal to approve the SIP revision 

should adverse comments be filed. This 

rule will be effective November 14, 2008 

without further notice unless the 

Agency receives adverse comments by 

October 15, 2008. 

If the EPA receives such comments, 

then EPA will publish a document 

withdrawing the final rule and 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect. All public comments 

received will then be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Parties 

interested in commenting should do so 

at this time. If no such comments are 

received, the public is advised that this 

rule will be effective on November 14, 

2008 and no further action will be taken 

on the proposed rule. Please note that if 

EPA receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
53136 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 179 / Monday, September 15, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, 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, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. 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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• 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 CAA; 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, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law. 

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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by November 14, 2008. 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).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This section 

provides additional information by 

addressing the following questions: 

What is a SIP? 

What is the Federal approval process for a 

SIP? 

What does Federal approval of a state 

regulation mean to me? 

What is the Part 70 Operating Permits 

Program? 

What is the Federal approval process for an 

Operating Permits Program? 

What is being addressed in this document? 

Have the requirements for approval of a SIP 

revision and a Part 70 revision been met? 

What action is EPA taking? 

What is a SIP? 

Section 110 of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) requires states to develop air 

pollution regulations and control 

strategies to ensure that state air quality 

meets the national ambient air quality 

standards established by EPA. These 

ambient standards are established under 

section 109 of the CAA, and they 

currently address six criteria pollutants. 

These pollutants are: carbon monoxide, 

nitrogen dioxide, ozone, lead, 

particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. 

Each state must submit these 

regulations and control strategies to us 

for approval and incorporation into the 

Federally-enforceable SIP. 

Each Federally-approved SIP protects 

air quality primarily by addressing air 

pollution at its point of origin. These 

SIPs can be extensive, containing state 

regulations or other enforceable 

documents and supporting information 

such as emission inventories, 

monitoring networks, and modeling 

demonstrations. 

What is the Federal approval process 

for a SIP? 

In order for state regulations to be 

incorporated into the Federallyenforceable SIP, states must formally 

adopt the regulations and control 

strategies consistent with state and 

Federal requirements. This process 

generally includes a public notice,
