Approval of California Air Plan 

Revisions, Antelope Valley Air Quality 

Management District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking final action to 

approve and conditionally approve 

revisions to the Antelope Valley Air 

Quality Management District (AVAQMD 

or ‘‘District’’) portion of the California 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern the District’s 

demonstration regarding Reasonably 

Available Control Technology (RACT) 

requirements for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

and the 2008 8-hour ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS or ‘‘standards’’) in the 

Antelope Valley ozone nonattainment 

area. The EPA is also taking final action 

to approve AVAQMD negative 

declarations into the SIP for the 1997 

and the 2008 ozone standards. 

We are approving local SIP revisions 

under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the 

Act). 

DATES: This rule will be effective on 

November 9, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R09–OAR–2016–0524. All

I. Proposed Action 

On July 28, 2017 (82 FR 35149), the 

EPA proposed action on the following 

documents submitted into the California 

SIP. 

Local 

agency Document Adopted Submitted 

AVAQMD AVAQMD 8-Hour Reasonably Available Control Technology—State Implementation Plan Analysis 

(RACT SIP Analysis)—1997 8-hour Ozone NAAQS ‘‘2006 RACT SIP’’.

AVAQMD AVAQMD Federal Negative Declarations for Seven Control Techniques Guidelines Source Categories.12/20/16 06/07/17 

Specifically, the EPA proposed to 

conditionally approve AVAQMD’s 2006 

and 2015 RACT SIPs with respect to 

Rule 462, Organic Liquid Loading; Rule 

1110.2, Emissions from Stationary, Nonroad & Portable Internal Combustion 

Engines; Rule 1151, Motor Vehicle and 

Mobile Equipment Coating Operations; 

and Rule 1171, Solvent Cleaning 

Operations. Simultaneously, EPA 

proposed to fully approve the remainder 

of the 2006 and 2015 RACT SIPs, and 

to fully approve AVAQMD’s negative 

declarations submitted on October 23, 

2015 and June 7, 2017. We 

simultaneously withdrew our December 

15, 2016 proposal to partially approve 

and partially disapprove AVAQMD’s 

2006 and 2015 RACT SIPs because the 

AVAQMD committed to address the 

identified deficiencies within one year 

of the approval of the plan revision. 

We proposed to approve these 

submittals because we determined that 

they complied with the relevant CAA 

requirements. Our proposed action 

contains more information on the 

submittals 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 no comments. 

III. EPA Action 

No comments were submitted. 

Therefore, as authorized in subsections 

110(k)(3) and 110(k)(4) of the Act, the 

EPA is conditionally approving 

AVAQMD’s 2006 and 2015 RACT SIPs 

with respect to Rule 462, Organic Liquid 

Loading; Rule 1110.2, Emissions from 

Stationary, Non-road & Portable 

Internal Combustion Engines; Rule 

1151, Motor Vehicle and Mobile 

Equipment Coating Operations; and 

Rule 1171, Solvent Cleaning Operations, 

and fully approving the remainder of 

the 2006 and 2015 RACT SIPs and 

AVAQMD’s negative declarations 

submitted on October 23, 2015 and June 

7, 2017 into the California SIP. 

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 

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). 

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 December 11, 

2017. 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)).

■ 4. Revise § 52.248 to read as follows: 

§ 52.248 Identification of plan—conditional 

approval. 

(a) The EPA is conditionally 

approving a California State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

submitted on November 13, 2015 

updating the motor vehicle emissions 

budgets for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and 

coarse particulate matter (PM10) for the 

1987 24-hour PM10 standard for the San 

Joaquin Valley PM10 maintenance area. 

The conditional approval is based on a 

commitment from the State to submit a 

SIP revision that demonstrates full 

implementation of the contingency 

provisions of the 2007 PM10

Maintenance Plan and Request for 

Redesignation (September 20, 2007). If 

the State fails to meet its commitment 

by June 1, 2017, the approval is treated 

as a disapproval. 

(b) The EPA is conditionally 

approving portions of the California SIP 

revisions submitted on January 31, 2007 

and October 23, 2015, demonstrating 

control measures in the Antelope Valley 

portion of the Los Angeles-San 

Bernardino Counties (West Mojave 

Desert) nonattainment area implement 

RACT for the 1997 and 2008 ozone 

standards. The conditional approval is 

based on a commitment from the state 

to submit new or revised rules that will 

correct deficiencies in the following 

rules for the Antelope Valley Air 

Quality Management District: 

(1) Rule 462, Organic Liquid Loading; 

(2) Rule 1110.2, Emissions from 

Stationary, Non-road & Portable 

Internal Combustion Engines; 

(3) Rule 1151, Motor Vehicle and 

Mobile Equipment Coating Operations; 

and 

(4) Rule 1171, Solvent Cleaning 

Operations. If the State fails to meet its 

commitment by November 9, 2018, the 

conditional approval is treated as a 

disapproval.

Tall Oil Fatty Acids; Exemption From 

the Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of tall oil fatty 

acids (CAS Reg. No. 61790–12–3) when 

used as inert ingredients (solvent/ 

carrier) in the following circumstances: 

In pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops and raw agricultural 

commodities after harvest; in pesticides 

applied in/on animals, and in 

antimicrobial formulations for food 

contact surfaces. Spring Trading 

Company on behalf of Ingevity 

Corporation submitted a petition to EPA 

under the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting 

establishment of these exemptions from 

the requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish maximum permissible levels 

for residues of tall oil fatty acids that are 

consistent with the conditions of these 

exemptions. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

October 10, 2017. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before December 11, 2017, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
