Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; Open Burning and Portable Fuel 
Containers

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of 
Connecticut on November 19, 2012. We are approving Connecticut's 
request to remove two regulations from its SIP that regulate ``open 
burning'' and ``portable fuel container spillage control.'' In place of 
the open burning regulation, we are approving into the Connecticut SIP 
a Connecticut statute that controls open burning. We are also approving 
a definition of ``brush,'' which was included in a December 14, 2015 
SIP submittal by Connecticut to meet infrastructure requirements of the 
Clean Air Act for the 2012 fine particle (PM2.5) National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The requirements in the 
Connecticut portable fuel container regulation have been superseded by 
federal portable fuel container requirements. This action is being 
taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective October 31, 2016, 
unless EPA receives adverse comments by October 3, 2016. If adverse 
comments are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the 
direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that the 
rule will not take effect.

I. Background and Purpose

    On November 19, 2012, the State of Connecticut submitted a formal 
revision to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP revision 
consists of a request to remove two regulations from its SIP that 
regulate open burning (Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) 
section 22a-174-17 (formerly section 19-508-17) and ``portable fuel 
container spillage control'' (RCSA section 22a-174-43), and to add into 
the SIP a statute, Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) section 22a-
174(f), that regulates open burning.

Open Burning

    Connecticut adopted regulations to control open burning in 1972. On 
May 31, 1972, EPA approved RCSA section 19-508-17 ``Control of Open 
Burning'' into the Connecticut SIP (37 FR 10842). In 1983, the state 
re-codified section 19-508-17 as section 22a-174-17 and, subsequently, 
adopted revisions to CGS section 22a-174(f) to control open burning, 
effective March 30, 2000. Connecticut intended that the statute 
supersede the regulation. Although CGS section 22a-174(f) authorizes 
the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT 
DEEP) to adopt regulations to control open burning, the agency did not 
adopt a new regulation and, instead, enforces CGS section 22a-174(f) as 
the state's sole authority for regulation of open burning.
    On September 27, 2011, CT DEEP proposed to repeal RCSA section 22a-
174-17 and held a public hearing on November 9, 2011. CT DEEP repealed 
RCSA section 22a-174-17, effective on September 10, 2012. On November 
19, 2012, CT DEEP submitted a SIP revision to EPA to remove RCSA 
section 19-508-17 ``Control of Open Burning'' from the Connecticut SIP 
and to replace it with a Connecticut statute, CGS section 22a-174(f). 
Because implementation of this statute depends on having a definition 
of ``brush,'' Connecticut included a definition of this term in its 
December 14, 2015 SIP submittal to meet infrastructure requirements of 
the Clean Air Act for the 2012 fine particle (PM2.5) 
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

Portable Fuel Container Spillage

    Connecticut adopted regulations to control portable fuel container 
spillage in 2004. On August 31, 2006, EPA approved RCSA section 22a-
174-43 ``Portable Fuel Container Spillage Control'' into the 
Connecticut SIP (71 FR 51761). In 2007, EPA issued a regulation 
entitled ``Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants from Mobile Sources'' 
(72 FR 8428), which included new federal requirements for portable fuel 
containers. See 40 CFR part 59, subpart F ``Control of Evaporative 
Emissions from New and In-Use Portable Fuel Containers.''
    On September 27, 2011, the CT DEEP proposed to repeal RCSA section 
22a-174-43 ``Portable Fuel Container Spillage Control'' and held a 
public hearing on November 9, 2011. CT DEEP repealed RCSA section 22a-
174-43, effective on September 10, 2012. On November 19, 2012, CT DEEP 
submitted a SIP revision to EPA to remove RCSA section 22a-174-43 
``Portable Fuel Container Spillage Control'' from the Connecticut SIP.

II. EPA's Evaluation of Connecticut's SIP Revisions

Open Burning

    The open burning rule, RCSA section 19-508-17, which is currently 
in the Connecticut SIP, identifies the types of open fires that are 
allowed within state boundaries, and the types of fires that require a 
written certificate from the Commissioner. Open fires that are allowed 
include barbecues or other outdoor open fires for cooking food; 
campfires, bonfires, and other fires for ceremonial or recreational 
purposes; fires to abate a fire hazard as directed by a responsible 
fire official; fires in devices used by construction or other workers 
for heating purposes; and small fires needed for activities such as 
street installation or paving activities and repairing utilities.
    Fires that require a written certificate from the Commissioner 
include fires for fire-fighting training; fires for preventing or 
controlling diseases or pests, including agricultural diseases and 
pests; agricultural burning for vegetation management; fires for the 
disposal of dangerous materials where no reasonable alternative 
disposal method is available; and other fires which the Commissioner 
determines are necessary for protection of public health.
    CGS section 22a-174(f) allows local open-burning officials to issue 
permits for open burning on residential property and for fire training, 
insect control, agricultural purposes, natural disaster clean-up, 
wildlife habitat and vegetative management and ecological 
sustainability. It also allows officials to issue permits for open 
burning of brush in municipal landfills, transfer stations and 
municipal recycling centers. Open burning of brush is not allowed when 
national or state air quality standards may be exceeded, where it may 
create a hazardous health condition, when forest fire danger is 
extreme, where woodland or grass land is within 100 feet of the 
proposed burn, or where prohibited by municipal ordinance. Burning of 
leaves, demolition waste or other solid waste in municipal landfills is 
also prohibited. The statute also establishes a process for certifying 
local open burning officials.
    Based on a comparison of provisions in SIP-approved RCSA section 
19-508-17 and CGS section 22a-174(f), EPA has determined that the 
statute is at least as stringent as the regulation except in one 
regard. CGS section 22a-174(f) includes the term ``brush,'' but does 
not include a definition of this term. Instead of

[[Page 60276]]

including the definition of brush in the statute, Connecticut added 
``brush'' to RCSA section 22a-174-1 (definitions), effective February 
1, 2010: ``Brush'' means shrubs, vegetation or prunings, the diameter 
of which is not greater than three inches at the widest point.'' 
Connecticut included this definition as contained in RCSA section 22a-
174-1(19) as part of the state's December 14, 2015 SIP submittal for 
infrastructure requirements for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. 
Therefore, EPA has determined that removing RCSA section 19-508-17 from 
the Connecticut SIP and replacing it with CGS section 22a-174(f) is 
consistent with the Clean Air Act section 110(l) anti-backsliding 
requirements. Accordingly, EPA is approving: (1) The removal of RSCA 
section 19-508-17 from the Connecticut SIP; (2) the addition of CGS 
section 22a-174(f), submitted on November 19, 2012, into the 
Connecticut SIP; and (3) the addition of the definition of ``brush'' in 
RSCA section 22a-174-1, submitted on December 14, 2015, into the 
Connecticut SIP.

Portable Fuel Container Spillage

    The regulation that controls portable fuel container spillage 
presently in the Connecticut SIP, RCSA section 22a-174-43, was adopted 
by the state in 2004, and applies to any person who sells, supplies, 
offers for sale, or manufactures a portable fuel container or spout for 
use in Connecticut. In 2007, EPA promulgated national evaporative 
emission standards for portable fuel containers. EPA's regulation 
prohibits manufacturers or importers from selling, offering for sale, 
introducing or delivering for introduction into commerce in the United 
States, or importing, any new portable fuel container that is subject 
to the emissions standards of the regulation and is manufactured after 
December 31, 2008, unless it is covered by a valid certificate of 
conformity, it is labeled as required, and it complies with all of the 
applicable requirements of the regulation, including compliance with 
the emissions standards for its useful life. After June 30, 2009, no 
manufacturer or importer may sell, offer for sale, introduce or deliver 
into commerce in the United States, or import any new portable fuel 
container that was manufactured prior to January 1, 2009 unless it 
meets the requirements of the regulation.
    EPA's regulation also prohibits wholesale distributors from 
selling, offering for sale, or distributing any portable fuel container 
in the United States that is subject to the emissions standards of the 
regulation and is manufactured after December 31, 2008, unless it is 
covered by a valid certificate of conformity and is labeled as 
required. After December 31, 2009, no wholesale distributor may sell, 
offer for sale, or distribute in the United States any portable fuel 
container that was manufactured prior to January 1, 2009 unless it 
meets all of the requirements of the regulation. After December 31, 
2009, all new portable fuel containers shall be deemed to be 
manufactured after December 31, 2008 unless they are in retail 
inventory.
    Even though the applicability date for SIP-approved RCSA section 
22a-174-43 is earlier, May 1, 2004, all fuel containers must now (in 
the year 2016 and beyond) meet the federal regulation, which is as 
stringent as RCSA section 22a-174-43. Therefore, EPA has determined 
that removal of RCSA section 22a-174-43 from the Connecticut SIP is 
consistent with the Clean Air Act section 110(l) anti-backsliding 
requirements and is approvable.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving Connecticut's request, submitted to EPA on 
November 19, 2012, to remove from the Connecticut SIP RCSA section 19-
508-17 ``Control of Open Burning'' and section 22a-174-43 ``Portable 
Fuel Container Spillage Control.'' We are also incorporating into the 
Connecticut SIP the following Connecticut statute which was included in 
the November 19, 2012 submittal: Connecticut General Statute, Title 
446c, Section 22a-174 (Formerly Sec. 19-508) ``Powers of the 
commissioner. Regulations. Fees. Exemptions. General permits. Appeal of 
commissioner's action re permit applications,'' (f) ``Open Burning,'' 
effective March 30, 2000. In addition, EPA is approving the definition 
of ``brush'' as contained in RCSA section 22a-174-1, which was included 
in Connecticut's December 14, 2015 submittal to meet infrastructure 
requirements under sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air 
Act for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS.
    The EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment 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 
relevant adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective October 
31, 2016 without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant 
adverse comments by October 3, 2016.
    If the EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a notice 
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. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on the proposed rule. All parties 
interested in commenting on the proposed rule should do so at this 
time. If no such comments are received, the public is advised that this 
rule will be effective on October 31, 2016 and no further action will 
be taken on the proposed rule. Please note that if EPA receives 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 of the rule that are not the subject of an 
adverse comment.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the 
Connecticut General Statute, Title 446c, Section 22a-174 (Formerly Sec. 
19-508) ``Powers of the commissioner. Regulations. Fees. Exemptions. 
General permits. Appeal of commissioner's action re permit 
applications,'' (f) ``Open burning,'' effective March 30, 2000, as 
published in the General Statutes of Connecticut, revision of 1958, 
revised to January 1, 2015, volume 8, described in the amendments to 40 
CFR part 52 set forth below. EPA is also finalizing the incorporation 
by reference of RCSA section 22a-174-1(19) ``brush,'' effective 
February 1, 2010, as published in the State of Connecticut General 
Statutes, revised to January 1, 2015, described in the amendments to 40 
CFR part 52 set forth below. Note that the definition for paragraph 
(19) in the statute that is incorporated by reference is the same as 
the definition that became effective in Connecticut on February 1, 
2010. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents 
generally available electronically through http://www.regulations.gov 
and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES 
section of this preamble for more information).

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a 
SIP submission that complies with the

[[Page 60277]]

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 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 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 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. 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 October 31, 2016. 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 today's 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. This action may not be challenged later in 
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
