[EPA-R03-OAR-2017-0437; FRL-9969-32-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Adoption of Control Techniques Guidelines for Control of 
Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Miscellaneous Metal Parts 
Surface Coating, Miscellaneous Plastic Parts Surface Coating, and 
Pleasure Craft Surface Coatings

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct 
final action to approve a revision to the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania's state implementation plan (SIP). The revision includes 
amendments to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's 
(PADEP) regulations and addresses the requirement to adopt reasonably 
available control technology (RACT) for sources covered by EPA's 
control techniques guidelines (CTG) standards for the following 
categories: Miscellaneous metal parts surface coating, miscellaneous 
plastic parts surface coating, and pleasure craft surface coatings, as 
well as related cleaning activities. The SIP revision also amends 
regulations for graphic arts systems and mobile equipment repair and 
refinishing as well as making general administrative changes. This 
action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This rule is effective on December 15, 2017 without further 
notice, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by November 15, 
2017. If EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely 
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform 
the public that the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 18, 2016, PADEP submitted a 
revision to the Pennsylvania SIP concerning the adoption of EPA's CTG 
for miscellaneous metal parts surface coating processes, miscellaneous 
plastic parts surface coating processes, and pleasure craft surface 
coatings. Specifically, PADEP has amended 25 Pennsylvania Code (Pa. 
Code) Chapter 129 (relating to standards for sources) to address RACT 
and further reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions in 
Pennsylvania. In accordance with sections 172(c)(1), 182(b)(2)(A) and 
184(b)(1)(B) of the CAA, Pennsylvania's SIP revision submittal 
establishes VOC emission limitations and other requirements consistent 
with the recommendations of EPA's 2008 Control Techniques Guidelines 
for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings (MMPP) (Publication 
No. EPA 453/R-08-003; September 2008) and Control Techniques Guidelines 
for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings for these sources 
in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Publication No. EPA 453/R-08-006).

I. Background

    Ground level ozone is formed in the atmosphere by photochemical 
reactions between VOCs, nitrogen oxides (NOX), and carbon 
monoxide (CO) in the presence of sunlight. In order to reduce ozone 
concentrations in the ambient air, the CAA requires all nonattainment 
areas to apply controls on VOC and NOX emission sources to 
achieve emission reductions. Among effective control measures, RACT 
controls significantly reduce VOC and NOX emissions from 
major stationary sources. NOX and VOC are referred to as 
ozone precursors and are emitted by many types of pollution sources, 
including motor vehicles, power plants, industrial facilities, and area 
wide sources, such as consumer products and lawn and garden equipment. 
Scientific evidence indicates that adverse public health effects occur 
following exposure to ozone. These effects are more pronounced in 
children and adults with lung disease. Breathing air containing ozone 
can reduce lung function and inflame airways, which can increase 
respiratory symptoms and aggravate asthma or other lung diseases.
    RACT is defined as the lowest emission limitation that a particular 
source is capable of meeting by the application of control technology 
that is reasonably available considering technological and economic 
feasibility (44 FR 53761 at 53762, September 17, 1979). Section 182 of 
the CAA sets forth two separate RACT requirements for ozone 
nonattainment areas. The first requirement, contained in section 
182(a)(2)(A) of the CAA, and referred to as RACT fix-up requires the 
correction of RACT rules for which EPA identified deficiencies before 
the CAA was amended in 1990. Pennsylvania previously corrected its 
deficiencies under the 1-hour ozone standard and has no further 
deficiencies to correct under this section of the CAA. The second 
requirement, set forth in section 182(b)(2) of the CAA, applies to 
moderate (or worse) ozone nonattainment area as well as to marginal and 
attainment areas in ozone transport regions (OTRs) established pursuant 
to section 184 of the CAA, and requires these areas to implement RACT 
controls on all major VOC and NOX emission sources and on 
all sources and source categories covered by a CTG issued by EPA.\1\ 
See CAA section 182(b)(2) and 184(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CTGs are documents issued by EPA intended to provide state 
and local air pollution control authorities information to assist 
them in determining RACT for VOC from various sources. The 
recommendations in the CTG are based upon available data and 
information and may not apply to a particular situation based upon 
the circumstances. States can follow the CTG and adopt state 
regulations to implement the recommendations contained therein, or 
they can adopt alternative approaches. In either case, states must 
submit their RACT rules to EPA for review and approval as part of 
the SIP process. Pursuant to section 184(b)(1)(B) of the CAA, all 
areas in the OTR must implement RACT with respect to sources of VOCs 
in the state covered by a CTG issued before or after November 15, 
1990.

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

[[Page 47989]]

    On July 18, 1997, EPA promulgated the health-based national ambient 
air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone based on 8-hour average 
concentrations. 62 FR 38856. On April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23858), EPA 
designated 37 counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as 8-hour 
ozone nonattainment areas for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. On March 27, 
2008, EPA revised the 8-hour ozone standard to a new 0.075 parts per 
million (ppm) level (73 FR 16436). On May 21, 2012, EPA finalized 
designations for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS (77 FR 30087). EPA 
designated five areas in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as 
nonattainment. These areas include all or a portion of Allegheny, 
Armstrong, Berks, Beaver, Bucks, Butler, Carbon, Chester, Delaware, 
Fayette, Lancaster, Lehigh, Montgomery, Northampton, Philadelphia, 
Washington, and Westmoreland Counties. On October 26, 2015, EPA revised 
the 8-hour ozone standard to a new 0.070 ppm level (80 FR 65292). This 
rulemaking does not address SIP requirements under the 2015 8-hour 
ozone NAAQS. The entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is in the OTR 
established by Congress in CAA section 184 and is thus subject to 
implementing RACT for all sources of VOC in the state covered by a CTG 
issued before or after November 15, 2990 pursuant to CAA section 
184(b)(1)(B).
    Section 172(c)(1) of the CAA provides that SIPs for nonattainment 
areas must include reasonably available control measures (RACM), 
including RACT, for sources of emissions. Pursuant to section 
184(b)(1)(B) of the CAA, regardless of an area's nonattainment status, 
all areas in the OTR must implement RACT with respect to sources of 
VOCs in the Commonwealth covered by a CTG issued before or after 
November 15, 1990. In addition, pursuant to CAA section 184(b)(2), 
unless more stringent nonattainment area requirements apply, stationary 
sources in states or portions of a state within the OTR that emit at 
least 50 tons per year of VOCs shall be considered major stationary 
sources subject to requirements applicable to major stationary sources 
as if the area were classified as a Moderate nonattainment area 
including requirements for CTGs and RACT.
    Pennsylvania has implemented numerous RACT controls to meet the CAA 
RACT requirements under the 1-hour and 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. These 
RACT controls were promulgated in title 25 of the Pennsylvania Code, 
chapter 129, Standards for Sources. In accordance with CAA section 
184(b)(1)(B), to achieve and maintain the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone 
NAAQS, the Commonwealth Pennsylvania must continue to adopt and 
implement VOC RACT emission control measures for source categories 
covered by all CTGs issued by EPA, as of 2014, including miscellaneous 
metal parts surface coating processes, miscellaneous plastic parts 
surface coating processes, and pleasure craft surface coatings.
    CTGs are documents issued by EPA intended to provide state and 
local air pollution control authorities information to assist them in 
assessing RACT for VOC from various sources. Section 183(e)(3)(c) 
provides that EPA may issue a CTG in lieu of a national regulation as 
RACT for a product category where EPA determines that the CTG will be 
substantially as effective as regulations in reducing emissions of VOC 
in ozone nonattainment areas. The recommendations in the CTG are based 
upon available data and information and may not apply to particular 
situations based on unique circumstances. To date, EPA has issued 44 
CTGs, providing guidelines for the control of VOC emissions from these 
types of sources. States can follow the CTG and adopt state regulations 
to implement the recommendations contained therein, or they can adopt 
alternative approaches. In either case, states must submit their RACT 
rules to EPA for review and approval as part of the SIP process.
    EPA developed the CTG for MMPP in September 2008 (Publication No. 
EPA 453/R-08-003) that provides guidelines with regard to feasible 
emission limitations and operating practices for a number of different 
surface coatings used within this large and diverse source category. 
The 2008 MMPP CTG recommends separate sets of emission limits for metal 
parts coatings, plastic parts coatings, automotive/transportation and 
business machine plastic parts, and pleasure craft, depending on the 
type of coating used by a particular source. The miscellaneous metal 
product and plastic parts surface coatings categories under section 
183(e) of the CAA include the coatings that are applied to the surfaces 
of a varied range of metal and plastic parts and products. Such parts 
or products are constructed either entirely or partially from metal or 
plastic. These miscellaneous metal products and plastic parts include, 
but are not limited to, metal and plastic components of the following 
types of products as well as the products themselves: Fabricated metal 
products, molded plastic parts, small and large farm machinery, 
commercial and industrial machinery and equipment, automotive or 
transportation equipment, interior or exterior automotive parts, 
construction equipment, motor vehicle accessories, bicycles and 
sporting goods, toys, recreational vehicles, pleasure craft 
(recreational boats), extruded aluminum structural components, railroad 
cars, heavier vehicles, lawn and garden equipment, business machines, 
laboratory and medical equipment, electronic equipment, steel drums, 
metal pipes, and numerous other industrial and household products.
    The pleasure craft coating category does not include coatings that 
are a part of other product categories listed under Section 183(e) of 
the CAA for which CTGs have been published or included in other CTGs. 
For pleasure craft surface coatings, EPA took into account California 
regulations when developing the 2008 MMPP CTG. California was the only 
state at that time with regulations governing VOC emissions from 
pleasure craft surface coatings. After EPA finalized the 2008 MMPP CTG, 
the pleasure craft coatings industry asserted to EPA that three of the 
VOC emission limits in the CTG were too low considering the performance 
requirements of the pleasure craft coatings and that the VOC emission 
limits recommended did not represent RACT for the National pleasure 
craft coatings industry. On September 14, 2009, EPA was contacted by 
the pleasure craft coatings industry to reconsider some of the VOC 
emission limits recommended in the final 2008 MMPP CTG. In response, 
EPA issued a memorandum on June 1, 2010, entitled ``Control Technique 
Guidelines for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Part Coatings--Industry 
Request for Reconsideration,'' recommending that the pleasure craft 
industry work with state agencies during their RACT rule development 
process to assess what is reasonable for the specific sources 
regulated. EPA has stated that states can use the recommendations from 
the MMPP CTG to form their own determinations as to what constitutes 
RACT for pleasure craft coating operations. CTGs impose no legally 
binding requirements on any entity, including pleasure craft coating 
facilities. As stated in the memorandum, EPA will evaluate state-
developed RACT rules and determine whether the submitted rules meet the 
RACT requirements of the CAA.

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    On November, 18, 2016, PADEP submitted a SIP revision which adopted 
the recommendations contained in the 2008 MMPP CTG with respect to 
sources in the miscellaneous metal products coatings and plastic parts 
coatings product categories. For the pleasure craft coating industry, 
after evaluating what is reasonable for this source category, PADEP 
determined that three VOC content limits applicable to the source 
categories should be revised from the limits in the CTG to represent 
RACT for the industry. This is based on EPA's memorandum that the 
pleasure craft industry should work with state agencies during their 
RACT rule development process to assess what is reasonable for the 
specific sources regulated.
    The SIP revision includes an amendment to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 129--
(relating to standards for sources) as follows: (1) Amended section 
129.51(a)--(relating to general) in order to extend applicability; (2) 
added section 129.52(d)--``Control of VOC emissions from miscellaneous 
metal parts surface coating processes, miscellaneous plastic parts 
surface coating processes and pleasure craft surface coatings,'' in 
order to regulate VOC emissions from miscellaneous metal parts surface 
coating processes, miscellaneous plastic parts surface coating 
processes and pleasure craft surface coatings; (3) amended section 
129.52(g)--(relating to surface coating processes) in order to clarify 
record keeping and reporting requirements; (4) added section 129.52(k) 
in order to clarify the applicability of the requirements of section 
129.52, Table I, Category 10 in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 129; (5) amended 
section 129.67--(relating to graphic arts systems) in order to extend 
applicability; and (6) amended section 129.75--(relating to mobile 
equipment repair and refinishing) in order to specify exceptions for 
those who apply surface coating to mobile equipment already subject to 
requirements of sections 129.52 and 129.52(d). More detailed 
information on these provisions as well as a detailed summary of EPA's 
review and rationale for proposing to approve these SIP revisions can 
be found in the Technical Support Document (TSD) for this action which 
is available on line at www.regulations.gov, Docket number EPA-R03-OAR-
2017-0437.
    After evaluating this SIP revision submittal, EPA concludes that 
this SIP submittal which addresses the 2008 MMPP CTG and makes other 
related administrative changes, meets CAA requirements under sections 
110, 172(c)(1), 182(b)(2)(A), and 184(b)(1) by adopting EPA's CTG and 
continuing to address and minimize VOC emissions in the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania as discussed in more detail in EPA's TSD for this 
rulemaking action. PADEP is adopting the requirements as recommended by 
the MMPPC CTG and adopting the pleasure craft industry recommendations 
for the following three coating categories: Antifouling Sealer/Tiecoat; 
Other Substrate Antifoulant; and Extreme High Gloss. For these three 
categories, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania reviewed industry data and 
determined that for the purpose of functionality, cost, and VOC 
emissions, the alternative limits adopted for these three coating 
categories constitute RACT. EPA concludes that Pennsylvania's approach 
is consistent with the guidance memorandum entitled, ``Control 
Technique Guidelines for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Part 
Coatings--Industry Request for Reconsideration,'' and therefore, 
concludes that these regulations reflect RACT given costs and VOC 
emissions. The revised VOC content limits for the pleasure craft 
surface coatings proposed by PADEP are expected to have a de minimis 
impact on the amount of VOC emission reductions from the implementation 
of the revised VOC limits due to having no facilities with the 
potential to emit VOC emissions for pleasure craft surface coatings.
    EPA notes that under 25 Pa. Code section 129.52d, PADEP is allowing 
the provisions of 25 Pa. Code section 129.52d to supersede the 
requirements of a RACT permit previously issued under 25 Pa. Code 
sections 129.91-129.95 if the permit was issued prior to January 1, 
2017, to the owner or operator of a source subject to section 
129.52d(a), except to the extent the RACT permit contains more 
stringent requirements. EPA further notes that the RACT permits issued 
under 25 Pa. Code sections 129.91-129.95 were issued for previous RACT 
determinations on a case-by-case basis; these permits were then 
submitted to EPA as source-specific SIP revisions and were previously 
acted on by EPA and would have been approved into the Pennsylvania SIP. 
If EPA approved those source-specific RACT determinations as meeting 
the requirements of RACT under the CAA, then the permits associated 
with those determinations were approved into the SIP as listed in 40 
CFR 52.2020(d). The requirements of the source-specific RACT 
determination which EPA approved into the Pennsylvania SIP remain 
applicable requirements for the specific source unless and until 
Pennsylvania seeks to remove the limits from the SIP in accordance with 
CAA section 110(l). To the extent that the provisions of 25 Pa. Code 
section 129.52d are more stringent than those of a previous SIP-
approved permit, PADEP will need to make a source-specific 
determination as to whether the requirements of the previous RACT 
permit apply, or those of section 129.52d, and submit that 
determination to EPA as a SIP revision in order to remove the 
previously approved permit from the SIP. Until such a SIP revision is 
made, EPA cannot remove the source-specific permits from the SIP and 
EPA is not taking such action in this rulemaking. Thus, the 
requirements of a previously SIP-approved permit are not superseded 
under the SIP. In accordance with section 110 of the CAA including 
110(a) and 110(l), EPA determines that approval of this PADEP SIP 
revision will not interfere with reasonable further progress, 
attainment of any NAAQS or any other applicable CAA requirements.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's November 2016 
SIP revision submittal, which adopts RACT requirements for 
miscellaneous metal parts surface coating, miscellaneous plastic parts 
surface coating, and pleasure craft surface coatings and which makes 
other related administrative changes, as the revision meets 
requirements in CAA sections 110, 172(c)(1), 182(b)(2)(A), and 
184(b)(2). EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because 
EPA views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no 
adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve 
as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are 
filed. This rule will be effective on December 15, 2017 without further 
notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by November 15, 2017. If EPA 
receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the 
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take 
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule 
based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an 
amendment, paragraph, or section of

[[Page 47991]]

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.

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 the 
Pennsylvania rule discussed in section II of this preamble. EPA has 
made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available 
through http://www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region III 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.\2\

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP 
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 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 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.

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. 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).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 15, 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are 
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of 
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules 
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate 
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can 
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed 
rulemaking action. This action, which approves Pennsylvania's SIP 
revision adopting CTGs for miscellaneous metal parts surface coating, 
miscellaneous plastic parts surface coating, and pleasure craft surface 
coatings, as well as general administrative changes related to cleaning 
activities, may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its 
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
