SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What action is the Agency taking? 

In this rulemaking, EPA is approving 

changes to the Alabama SIP, submitted 

by the State on May 19, 2017. The 

submission revises ADEM Rule 335–3– 

1–.02—Definitions and Rule 335–3–4– 

.08—Wood Waste Boilers. Specifically, 

this rulemaking revises the definition of 

VOCs, corrects a typographical error and 

removes particulate emission and 

opacity limits for Talladega County. 

II. Background 

On August 16, 2017 (82 FR 38865), 

EPA proposed to approve the 

aforementioned changes, among others, 

to the SIP. This proposed rule 

accompanied a direct final rule 

published on the same day in the 

Federal Register (82 FR 38841). EPA 

received an adverse comment on the 

direct final rulemaking only on the 

changes made to Rule 335–3–1–.02 and 

Rule 335–3–4–.08. Accordingly, EPA is 

withdrawing the direct final action 

through a separate action published 

elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 

Register and is taking final action on the 

changes to Rule 335–3–1–.02 and Rule 

335–3–4–.08 in this final rule. 

A. Rule 335–3–1–.02—Definitions 

On November 29, 2004, and August 1, 

2016, EPA issued final rules revising the 

definition of VOCs by adding new 

compounds (tertiary butyl acetate (or tButyl acetate) and 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoro-1- 

(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxyl) ethane) to the 

list of those that are considered to be 

negligibly reactive compounds, and on 

February 25, 2016 (81 FR 9339), EPA 

issued a final rule removing 

recordkeeping, emissions reporting, 

photochemical dispersion modeling, 

and inventory requirements for t-Butyl 

acetate. The State’s May 19, 2017, SIP 

revision adds these compounds to the 

list of negligibly reactive compounds 

under ADEM Rule 335–3–1–.02 subpart 

(gggg). The SIP revision also removes 

the recordkeeping, emissions reporting, 

photochemical dispersion modeling, 

and inventory requirements requirement 

for t-Butyl acetate. Additionally, the 

submittal makes a typographical 

correction under subpart (gggg)(iii). EPA 

proposes to approve these revisions 

because they are consistent with the 

definition of VOC at 40 CFR 51.100(s). 

The State’s addition of exemptions 

from the definition of VOCs and 

removal of recordkeeping, emissions 

reporting, photochemical dispersion 

modeling, and inventory requirements 

for t-butyl acetate are approvable under 

section 110(l) because they reflect 

changes to Federal regulations based on 

findings that the exempted compounds 

are negligibly reactive. The 

typographical error correction makes 

ministerial changes for consistency. 

B. Rule 335–3–4–.08—Wood Waste 

Boilers 

Rule 335–3–4–.08—Wood Waste 

Boilers was adopted into the Alabama 

SIP on April 23, 1974 (39 FR 14338), to 

provide emission limits based on 


nlaroche on DSK9F9SC42PROD with RULES
47632 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

1 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). 

available control technologies and 

included a 0.30 grain per dry standard 

cubic foot (gr/dscf) emissions limit for 

boilers burning a combination of wood 

waste and fossil fuels. On November 24, 

1981 (46 FR 57484), EPA finalized a SIP 

revision allowing pulp mills to operate 

boilers that burn only wood waste in 

Talladega County. This change allowed 

a particulate matter emissions 

concentration of 0.45 gr/dscf when 

burning wood waste alone (but total 

emissions would remain the same 

provided boilers operate on a reduced 

rate). On July 11, 1986 (51 FR 25198), 

EPA approved a revision adding a new 

paragraph 3 at Rule 335–3–4–.08 that 

relaxed the allowable emission limit to 

0.60 gr/dscf for wood waste boiler 

sources that operate up to 300 million 

British thermal unit per hour and 

tightened allowable emissions for other 

types of sources in Talladega County. 

Compliance with the emission limit was 

determined by an annual stack test. 

Additionally, an opacity limit of 76 

percent was established and would be 

measured by a transmissometer. 

The May 19, 2017, SIP revision 

removes paragraph 3, applicable only to 

sources in Talladega County, because 

the type of source no longer exists in the 

County or anywhere else in the State. 

Moreover, if such a source were to begin 

operating in the future, it would be 

subject to more stringent requirements 

under Rule 335–3–4–.08 paragraph 2. 

EPA believes that these changes to the 

regulatory portion of the SIP are 

consistent with section 110 of the CAA 

and meet the regulatory requirements 

pertaining to SIPs. Pursuant to CAA 

section 110(l), the Administrator shall 

not approve a revision of a plan if the 

revision would interfere with any 

applicable requirement concerning 

attainment and reasonable further 

progress (as defined in CAA section 

171), or any other applicable 

requirement of the Act. The State’s 

removal of emissions and opacity 

requirements for Talladega County is an 

approvable change under section 110(l) 

because, should these sources start 

operating, they would fall under more 

stringent rules in the SIP. 

III. Response to Comments 

Comment: EPA received one adverse 

comment on the direct final rule 

published on August 16, 2017 (82 FR 

38841), and this comment has been 

included in the Docket for this action. 

The Commenter stated that EPA should 

not remove t-Butyl acetate (TBAC) from 

the list of ‘‘volatile organic compounds 

because ‘‘this compound is particularly 

dangerous and can cause deformations 

and brain injuries.’’ The Commenter 

stated that EPA should maintain the 

recordkeeping and reporting provisions 

‘‘to determine whether states are 

causing deformations or brain injuries 

in nearby communities.’’ The 

Commenter also stated EPA should not 

remove wood burning rules. 

Response: The State is merely 

updating the SIP to align with EPA’s 

past rulemakings and reflect the 

definitions in 40 CFR 51.100(s). EPA 

issued a final rulemaking on November 

29, 2004 (69 FR 69298) that revised the 

definition of VOC to exclude TBAC as 

a negligibly reactive compound. 

Additionally, EPA issued a final rule on 

February 25, 2016 (81 FR 9339), that 

removed TBAC recordkeeping, 

emissions reporting, photochemical 

dispersion modeling, and inventory 

requirements for TBAC. EPA 

acknowledges the comments regarding 

the health risks associated with TBAC 

and is continuing to take steps to assess 

potential risks associated with this 

compound. In the 2016 EPA rule, EPA 

discussed the efforts surrounding any 

future determinations about the health 

risks associated with TBAC, including 

noting that data collected through the 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements did not appear relevant to 

any such future determinations and that 

EPA was assessing the health risks from 

TBAC through its Integrated Risk 

Information System. This effort is ongoing, and we refer the Commenter to 

EPA’s previous 2016 rulemaking (81 FR 

9339, 9341) for more information 

regarding health risks. 

The State removes Rule 335–3–4–.08 

paragraph 3, particulate matter 

emissions limit for wood waste boilers 

applicable only to Talladega County 

because such sources no longer operate 

in the County. If such a source were to 

begin operating in the future, it would 

be subject to more stringent 

requirements under Rule 335–3–4–.08 

paragraph 2, applicable statewide. 

Therefore, the Commenter’s statement 

that such sources should be subject to 

tighter requirements is true, and EPA 

has determined that any new source 

would be subjected to tighter emissions 

limits, currently approved in the SIP. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of Rule 335–3–1–.02— 

Definitions and Rule 335–3–4–.08— 

Wood Waste Boilers, effective June 9, 

2017. EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these materials generally 

available through www.regulations.gov 

and/or at the EPA Region 4 Office 

(please contact the person identified in 

the ‘‘For Further Information Contact’’ 

section of this preamble for more 

information). Therefore, these materials 

have been approved by EPA for 

inclusion in the SIP, have been 

incorporated by reference by EPA into 

that plan, are fully federally-enforceable 

under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA 

as of the effective date of the final 

rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and will 

be incorporated by reference by the 

Director of the Federal Register in the 

next update to the SIP compilation.1

V. Final Action 

EPA is taking final action to approve 

portions of Alabama’s May 19, 2017, 

submission submitted by the State of 

Alabama through ADEM. The 

submission revises Rule 335–3–1–.02— 

Definitions and Rule 335–3–4–.08— 

Wood Waste Boilers. 

VI. 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. 

See 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. 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 (Public Law 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 


nlaroche on DSK9F9SC42PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 47633 

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). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where 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 as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will it 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 December 12, 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

16, 2017 (82 FR 38825), EPA published 

a direct final rule approving portions of 

several SIP revisions submitted by the 

State of South Carolina, through the 

South Carolina Department of Health 

and Environmental Control, on October 

1, 2007, June 17, 2013, and January 20, 

2016. EPA took a direct final action to 

approve portions of the October 1, 2007, 

June 17, 2013, and January 20, 2016, 

submissions that made changes to 

Regulation 61–62.5, Standard No. 5— 

‘‘Volatile Organic Compounds,’’ and 

Regulation 61–62.5, Standard No. 5.2— 

‘‘Control of Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX).’’ 

In the direct final rule, EPA explained 

that the Agency was publishing the rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency viewed the submittal as a noncontroversial SIP amendment and 

anticipated no adverse comments. 

Further, EPA explained that the Agency 

was publishing a separate document in 

the proposed rules section of the 

Federal Register to serve as the proposal 

to approve the SIP revisions should an 

adverse comment be filed. EPA also 

noted that the rule would be effective 

generally 30 days after the close of the 

public comment period, without further 

notice unless the Agency received 

adverse comment by the close of the 

public comment period. EPA explained 

that if the Agency received such 

comments, then EPA would publish a 

document withdrawing the final rule 

and informing the public that the rule 

would not take effect. EPA specified, 

however, that if a comment were 

received 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 of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. It was also explained that all 

public comments received would then 

be addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule, and that 

EPA would not institute a second 

comment period on this action. 

EPA received one adverse comment 

from a single Commenter on the portion 

of the direct finale rule that made 

changes to Regulation 61–62.5, Standard 

No. 5.2 only. As a result of the comment 

received, EPA is withdrawing only the 

portion of the direct final rule approving 

changes to the South Carolina SIP at 

Regulation 61–62.5, Standard No. 5.2, as 

submitted in the October 1, 2007, SIP 

revision. The EPA will address the 

comment in a separate final action 

based on the proposed action also 

published on August 16, 2017 (82 FR 

38865). EPA will not open a second 

comment period for this action.
