[EPA-R04-OAR-2012-0080; FRL-9704-7]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 
Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source 
Review; Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to approve changes to the Tennessee 
State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the Tennessee Department 
of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) through the Division of Air 
Pollution Control to EPA on July 29, 2011. The July 29, 2011, SIP 
revision modifies Tennessee's New Source Review (NSR) Prevention of 
Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review 
(NNSR) programs. Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision proposes to 
incorporate, into the Tennessee SIP, NSR provisions for 
PM2.5 as amended in EPA's 2008 NSR PM2.5 
Implementation Rule. Also, Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision 
makes a corrective and clarifying administrative change to rule 1200-
03-09-.01. EPA is approving Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision 
because it is consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) and EPA 
regulations regarding NSR permitting.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will be effective August 29, 2012.

I. Background

    EPA is taking final action on Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP 
revision to adopt rules equivalent to federal requirements for NSR 
permitting.\1\ Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision includes changes 
to Tennessee's Air Quality Regulations, Chapter 1200-03-09--
Construction and Operating Permits, Rule Number .01--Construction 
Permits, to adopt federal PSD and NNSR promulgated in the rule entitled 
``Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate 
Matter Less than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5), '' Final Rule, 73 
FR

[[Page 44482]]

28321 (May 16, 2008), hereafter referred to as the ``NSR 
PM2.5 Rule.'' Also, Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision 
includes clarifying changes to rule 1200-03-09-.01.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision also contains 
changes to Tennessee Chapter 1200-03-26--Administrative Fees 
Schedule provisions. EPA is not proposing action on this part of the 
submittal as these provisions are not part of the federally-approved 
Tennessee SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On June 11, 2012, EPA published a proposed rulemaking to approve 
the aforementioned changes to Tennessee's NSR PSD program. See 77 FR 
34302. Comments on the proposed rulemaking were due on or before July 
11, 2012. No comments, adverse or otherwise, were received on EPA's 
June 11, 2012 proposed rulemaking. Pursuant to section 110 of the CAA, 
EPA is now taking final action to approve the changes to Tennessee's 
NSR PSD program as provided in EPA's June 11, 2012, proposed 
rulemaking. A summary of the background for today's final action is 
provided below. For more detail, please refer to EPA's proposed 
rulemaking at 77 FR 34302.

A. NSR PM2.5 Rule

    EPA finalized a rule on May 16, 2008, that revised the NSR program 
requirements to establish the framework for implementing 
preconstruction permit review for the PM2.5 NAAQS in both 
attainment and nonattainment areas. Specifically, the NSR 
PM2.5 Rule established the following NSR requirements to 
implement the PM2.5 NAAQS: (1) Require NSR permits to 
address directly emitted PM2.5 and precursor pollutants; (2) 
establish significant emission rates for direct PM2.5 and 
precursor pollutants (including sulfur dioxide (SO2) and 
nitrogen oxides (NOX)); (3) establish PM2.5 
emission offsets; (4) provide exceptions to inhalable particles smaller 
than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter) (PM10) 
grandfather policy; and (5) require states to account for gases that 
condense to form particles (condensables) in PM2.5 and 
PM10 emission limits in PSD or nonattainment NSR permits. 
Additionally, the NSR PM2.5 Rule authorized states to adopt 
provisions in their nonattainment NSR rules that would allow 
interpollutant offset trading. See 73 FR 28321. States were required to 
provide SIP submissions to address the requirements for the NSR 
PM2.5 Rule by May 16, 2011. Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP 
revision addresses the PSD and NNSR requirements related to EPA's May 
16, 2008, NSR PM2.5 Rule.
1. PM10 Surrogate and Grandfathering Policy
    In the NSR PM2.5 Rule, EPA required that major 
stationary sources seeking permits must begin directly satisfying the 
PM2.5 requirements, as of the effective date of the rule, 
rather than relying on PM10 as a surrogate, with two 
exceptions.\2\ The first exception is a ``grandfathering'' provision in 
the federal PSD program at 40 CFR 52.21(i)(1)(xi). This grandfathering 
provision applied to sources that had applied for, but had not yet 
received, a final and effective PSD permit before the July 15, 2008, 
effective date of the May 2008 final rule. The second exception was 
that states with SIP-approved PSD programs could continue to implement 
the Seitz Memo's PM10 Surrogate Policy for up to three years 
(until May 2011) or until the individual revised state PSD programs for 
PM2.5 are approved by EPA, whichever comes first. On May 18, 
2011 (76 FR 28646), EPA took final action to repeal the 
PM2.5 grandfathering provision at 40 CFR 52.21(i)(1)(xi). 
This final action ended the use of the 1997 PM10 Surrogate 
Policy for PSD permits under the federal PSD program at 40 CFR 52.21. 
In effect, any PSD permit applicant previously covered by the 
grandfathering provision (for sources that completed and submitted a 
permit application before July 15, 2008) \3\ that did not have a final 
and effective PSD permit before the effective date of the repeal will 
not be able to rely on the 1997 PM10 Surrogate Policy to 
satisfy the PSD requirements for PM2.5 unless the 
application includes a valid surrogacy demonstration. See 76 FR 28646. 
In its July 29, 2011, SIP revision, Tennessee elected not to adopt the 
grandfathering provision at 40 CFR 52.21(i)(1)(xi), into its PSD 
regulations. Therefore, Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision is 
consistent with federal regulations since it does not contain the 
repealed grandfathering provision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ After EPA promulgated the NAAQS for PM2.5 in 
1997, the Agency issued guidance documents related to using 
PM10 as a surrogate for PM2.5 entitled 
``Interim Implementation of New Source Review Requirements for 
PM2.5.'' John S. Seitz, EPA, October 23, 1997 (the 
``Seitz memo'') and ``Implementation of New Source Review 
Requirements in PM-2.5 Nonattainment Areas'' (the ``2005 
PM2.5 Nonattainment NSR Guidance'').
    \3\ Sources that applied for a PSD permit under the federal PSD 
program on or after July 15, 2008, are already excluded from using 
the 1997 PM10 Surrogate Policy as a means of satisfying 
the PSD requirements for PM2.5. See 76 FR 28321.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. ``Condensable'' Provision
    In the NSR PM2.5 Rule, EPA revised the definition of 
``regulated NSR pollutant'' for PSD to add a paragraph providing that 
``particulate matter (PM) emissions, PM2.5 emissions and 
PM10 emissions'' shall include gaseous emissions from a 
source or activity which condense to form particulate matter at ambient 
temperatures and that on or after January 1, 2011, such condensable 
particulate matter shall be accounted for in applicability 
determinations and in establishing emissions limitations for PM, 
PM2.5 and PM10 in permits issued. See 40 CFR 
51.166(b)(49)(vi), 52.21(b)(50)(vi) and ``Emissions Offset 
Interpretative Ruling'' (40 CFR Part 51, Appendix S). On March 16, 
2012,\4\ EPA proposed a rulemaking to amend the definition of 
``regulated NSR pollutant'' promulgated in the NSR PM2.5 
Rule regarding the PM condensable provision at 40 CFR 
51.166(b)(49)(vi), 52.21(b)(50)(i) and EPA's Emissions Offset 
Interpretative Ruling. See 77 FR 15656. The rulemaking proposes to 
remove the inadvertent requirement in the NSR PM2.5 Rule 
that the measurement of condensable ``particulate matter emissions'' be 
included as part of the measurement and regulation of ``particulate 
matter emissions.'' \5\ Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision adopts 
EPA's definition for regulated NSR pollutant for condensables (at 40 
CFR 51.166(b)(49)(vi)), including the term ``particulate matter 
emissions,'' as promulgated in the NSR PM2.5 Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In EPA's June 11, 2012, proposed rulemaking, EPA cited March 
12, 2012, as the publication date for the particulate matter 
emissions correction notice. The correct publication date is March 
16, 2012.
    \5\ The term ``particulate matter emissions'' includes particles 
that are larger than PM2.5 and PM10 and is an 
indicator measured under various New Source Performance Standards 
(NSPS) (40 CFR part 60). In addition to the NSPS for PM, it is noted 
that states have regulated ``particulate matter emissions'' for many 
years in their SIPs for PM, and the same indicator has been used as 
a surrogate for determining compliance with certain standards 
contained in 40 CFR part 63, regarding National Emission Standards 
for Hazardous Air Pollutants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 1, 2012, the State of Tennessee provided a letter to EPA 
with clarification of the State's intent in light of EPA's March 12, 
2012, proposed rulemaking. Specifically, in that letter, the State of 
Tennessee requested that EPA not approve the term ``particulate matter 
emissions'' (at rule 1200-03-09-.01(4)(b)47(vi)) as part of the 
definition for ``regulated NSR pollutant'' regarding the inclusion of 
condensable emissions in applicability determinations and in 
establishing emissions limitations for PM.
3. Interpollutant Trading
    The NSR PM2.5 final Rule authorized states to adopt 
provisions in their NNSR rules that would allow major stationary 
sources and major modifications located in areas designated 
nonattainment for PM2.5 to offset emissions increases of 
direct PM2.5 emissions or PM2.5 precursors with 
reductions of either direct PM2.5 emissions or 
PM2.5 precursors in accordance with offset

[[Page 44483]]

ratios contained in the approved SIP for the applicable nonattainment 
area. The inclusion, in whole or in part, of the interpollutant trading 
offset provisions for PM2.5 is discretionary on the part of 
the states. In the preamble to the NSR PM2.5 Rule, EPA 
included preferred or presumptive offset ratios, applicable to specific 
PM2.5 precursors, that states may adopt in conjunction with 
the new interpollutant trading offset provisions for PM2.5, 
and for which the state could rely on the EPA's technical work to 
demonstrate the adequacy of the ratios for use in any PM2.5 
nonattainment area.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Alternatively, the preamble indicated that states may adopt 
their own ratios, subject to EPA's approval, that would have to be 
substantiated by modeling or other technical demonstrations of the 
net air quality benefit for ambient PM2.5 concentrations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The preferred ratios were subsequently the subject of a petition 
for reconsideration which the EPA Administrator granted in 2009. As a 
result of the reconsideration, on July 21, 2011, EPA issued a 
memorandum entitled ``Revised Policy to Address Reconsideration of 
Interpollutant Trading Provisions for Fine Particles 
(PM2.5)'' (hereafter referred to as the ``Interpollutant 
Trading Memorandum''). The Interpollutant Trading Memorandum indicated 
that the existing preferred offset ratios are no longer considered 
presumptively approvable and that any precursor offset ratio submitted 
as part of the NSR SIP for a PM2.5 nonattainment area must 
be accompanied by a technical demonstration showing the net air quality 
benefits of such ratio for the PM2.5 nonattainment area in 
which it will be applied. Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision 
adopts the interpollutant policy but not the preferred trading ratios 
established in the NSR PM2.5 Rule.

II. This Action

    Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision adopts NSR PM2.5 
Rule provisions into the Tennessee SIP at Chapter 12000-03-09 
including: (1) Requirement for NSR permits to address directly emitted 
PM2.5 and precursor pollutants; (2) significant emission 
rates for direct PM2.5 and precursor pollutants 
(SO2 and NOX); (3) PSD and NNSR requirements of 
states to address condensable PM in establishing enforceable emission 
limits for PM10 or PM2.5; (4) PM2.5 
emission offsets; and (5) optional interpollutant trading provision set 
forth at 40 CFR 51.165(a)(11). These amendments to the Tennessee rules 
became state-effective June 27, 2011. Specifically, the SIP revision 
establishes that the State's existing NSR permitting program 
requirements for PSD and NNSR apply to the PM2.5 NAAQS and 
its precursors; revise the definitions of ``significant'' at 1200-03-
09-.01(4)(b)24(i) and (5)(b)1(x)(I) to establish significant emission 
rates for direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors for 
major modifications at existing sources (as amended at 40 CFR 
51.165(a)(1)(x)(A) and 51.166(b)(23)(i)); revise the term ``regulated 
NSR pollutant'' at 1200-03-09-.01(4)(b)47 and (5)(b)1(xlix) to include 
PM2.5, recognize PM2.5 precursors and include the 
requirement that condensable emissions be accounted for in 
applicability determinations and in establishing emissions limitations 
for PM (as amended at 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(xxxvii)(C) and 
51.166(b)(49)); and adopt NNSR emission offsets (a ratio of 1:1) for 
direct PM2.5 at 1200-03-09-.01(5)2(v) (as amended at 40 CFR 
51.165(a)(9)).
    Additionally, Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision does not 
include the grandfathering provision at 40 CFR 52.21(i)(1)(ix) 
promulgated in the NSR PM2.5 Rule. Therefore, Tennessee's 
July 29, 2011, SIP revision is consistent with federal regulations. The 
July 29, 2011, SIP revision adopts the elective interpollutant trading 
provision policy at 1200-03-09(5)(b)2.(v)(XV) set forth at 40 CFR 
51.165(a)(11) for the purpose of offsets under the PM2.5 
NNSR program. Pursuant to EPA's July 21, 2011, Interpollutant Trading 
Memorandum, the preferred precursor offset ratios included in the 
preamble to the NSR PM2.5 Rule are no longer considered 
presumptively approvable. Therefore, any precursor offset ratio 
submitted to EPA for approval as part of the NSR SIP for a 
PM2.5 nonattainment area must be accompanied by a technical 
demonstration showing the suitability of the ratios for that particular 
nonattainment area. Tennessee's adoption of the interpollutant trading 
policy and not the trading ratios does not in any way allow a major 
stationary source or major modification in the State to obtain offsets 
through interpollutant trading, nor does it affect the approvability of 
Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revision.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ If a major stationary source or source with a major 
modification in Tennessee requests to obtain offsets through 
interpollutant trading, the State of Tennessee would first be 
required, consistent with the requirements of section 51.165(a)(11), 
to revise its SIP to adopt appropriate trading ratios. Tennessee 
would need to submit to EPA a technical demonstration showing how 
either the preferred ratios established in the NSR PM2.5 
Rule or the State's own ratios are appropriate for the State's 
particular PM2.5 nonattainment as well as a revision to 
the NSR program adopting the ratios into the SIP. EPA would then 
have to approve the demonstration and ratios into the Tennessee SIP 
prior to any major stationary source or major modification obtaining 
offsets through the interpollutant trading policy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Regarding the condensable provision, in light of Tennessee request 
in its May 1, 2012, letter and EPA's intention to amend the definition 
of ``regulated NSR pollutant'' as discussed in the correction 
rulemaking,\8\ EPA is not taking action to approve the terminology 
``particulate matter emissions'' into the Tennessee SIP (at 1200-03-
09-.01(4)(b)47(vi)) for the condensable provision in the definition of 
``regulated NSR pollutant.'' EPA is, however, taking final action to 
approve into the Tennessee SIP at 1200-03-09-.01(4)(b)47(vi) the 
remaining condensable requirement at 40 CFR 51.166(b)(49)(vi), which 
requires that condensable emissions be accounted for in applicability 
determinations and in establishing emissions limitations for 
PM2.5 and PM10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ On March 16, 2012, EPA proposed to correct the inadvertent 
inclusion of ``particulate matter emissions'' in the definition of 
``regulated NSR pollutant'' as an indicator for which condensable 
emissions must be addressed. See 77 FR 75656. The comment period for 
this proposed rulemaking ended May 15, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    TDEC's July 29, 2011, SIP revision also makes an administrative 
change to Chapter 1200-03-09 for PSD and NNSR including removing the 
sentence ``For example, if a project involves both an existing 
emissions unit and a Clean Unit, the projected increase is determined 
by summing the values determined using the method specified in 
paragraph (a)(7)(iv)(c) of this section for the existing unit and 
determined using the method specified in paragraph (a)(7)(iv)(e) of 
this section for the Clean Unit.'' from the State's hybrid test 
applicability provision at 1200-03-09-.01(4)(c)4(vi) and 1200-03-
09-.01(5)(b)2(xvii). Tennessee proposed this change to be consistent 
with federal language amended in the June 13, 2007, final rulemaking 
regarding the vacated portions of the 2002 NSR Reform Rule.\9\See 72 FR 
32526. This final action approves the aforementioned SIP amendments 
into Tennessee's SIP to provide for the implementation of 
PM2.5 NAAQS in the State's NSR permitting program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ On June 13, 2007, EPA took final action to revise the 2002 
NSR Reform Rules to remove from federal law all provisions 
pertaining to clean units and the pollution control projects 
exemption that were vacated by the United States Court of Appeals 
for the District of Columbia Rule. New York v. United States, 413 
F.3d 3 (D.C. Cir. 2005). See 72 FR 32526. EPA's efforts to remove 
the vacated provisions included removing the language from the 
hybrid test applicability provision at 40 CFR 51.166(a)(7)(iv)(f), 
51.165(f)(6) and 52.21(a)(2)(iv)(f).

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

[[Page 44484]]

III. Final Action

    Pursuant to section 110 of the CAA, EPA is taking final action to 
approve Tennessee's July 29, 2011, SIP revisions adopting federal 
regulations amended in the NSR PM2.5 Rule to implement the 
PM2.5 NAAQS for the NSR program. EPA is also taking final 
action to approve corrective and clarifying administrative changes to 
Tennessee's regulations because they are consistent with section 110 of 
the CAA and its implementing regulations.

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 September 28, 2012. 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)).
