Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Consistency Update for 
California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'').

ACTION: Final rule--consistency update.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the updates of the Outer Continental Shelf 
(``OCS'') Air Regulations proposed in the Federal Register on November 
16, 2007. Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 miles 
of states' seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to remain 
consistent with the requirements of the corresponding onshore area 
(``COA''), as mandated by section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act 
Amendments of 1990 (``the Act''). The portions of the OCS air 
regulations that are being updated pertain to the

[[Page 23115]]

requirements for OCS sources for which the Santa Barbara County Air 
Pollution Control District, South Coast Air Quality Management 
District, and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District are the 
designated COA. The intended effect of approving the requirements 
contained in ``Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District 
Requirements Applicable to OCS Sources'' (December, 2007), ``South 
Coast Air Quality Management District Requirements Applicable to OCS 
Sources'' (Parts I, II and III) (December, 2007), and ``Ventura County 
Air Pollution Control District Requirements Applicable to OCS Sources'' 
(December, 2007) is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in 
accordance with the requirements onshore.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on May 29, 2008.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in 
this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of May 
29, 2008.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number OAR-2004-0091 for this 
action. The index to the docket is available electronically at http://
www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents in the docket 
are listed in the index, some information may be publicly available 
only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material), and some

I. Background

    Throughout this document, the terms ``we'', ``us,'' and ``our'' 
refer to U.S. EPA.
    On November 16, 2007 (72 FR 64563), EPA proposed to approve 
requirements into the OCS Air Regulations pertaining to Santa Barbara 
County APCD, South Coast AQMD, and Ventura County APCD. These 
requirements are being promulgated in response to the submittal of 
rules from these California air pollution control agencies. EPA has 
evaluated the proposed requirements to ensure that they are rationally 
related to the attainment or maintenance of federal or state ambient 
air quality standards or Part C of title I of the Act, that they are 
not designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of the 
OCS and that they are applicable to OCS sources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has 
also evaluated the rules to ensure that they are not arbitrary or 
capricious. 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded 
administrative or procedural rules.
    Section 328(a) of the Act requires that EPA establish requirements 
to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of 
states' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore requirements. 
To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable 
onshore rules into part 55 as they exist onshore. This limits EPA's 
flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated into 
part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive changes to the 
requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be incorporating 
rules into part 55 that do not conform to all of EPA's state 
implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements of the Act. 
Consistency updates may result in the inclusion of state or local rules 
or regulations into part 55, even though the same rules may ultimately 
be disapproved for inclusion as part of the SIP. Inclusion in the OCS 
rule does not imply that a rule meets the requirements of the Act for 
SIP approval, nor does it imply that the rule will be approved by EPA 
for inclusion in the SIP.

II. Public Comments

    EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period. 
During this period, we received no comments on the proposed action.

III. EPA Action

    In this document, EPA takes final action to incorporate the 
proposed changes into 40 CFR part 55. No changes were made to the 
proposed action. EPA is approving the proposed action under section 
328(a)(1) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7627. Section 328(a) of the Act 
requires that EPA establish requirements to control air pollution from 
OCS sources located within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that 
are the same as onshore requirements. To comply with this statutory 
mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into Part 55 as 
they exist onshore.

IV. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)), the 
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant'' 
and therefore subject to Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') 
review and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Order defines 
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in a 
rule that may:

    1. Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more 
or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the 
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or 
communities;
    2. Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an 
action taken or planned by another agency;
    3. Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, 
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of 
recipients thereof; or
    4. Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal 
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in 
the Executive Order.

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the 
terms of Executive Order 12866 and is therefore not subject to OMB 
Review. This rule implements requirements specifically and explicitly 
set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the Clean Air Act, without 
the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. These OCS rules already 
apply in the COA, and EPA has no evidence to suggest that these OCS 
rules have created an adverse material effect. As required by section 
328 of the Clean Air Act, this action simply updates the existing OCS 
requirements to make them consistent with rules in the COA.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The OMB has approved the information collection requirements 
contained in 40 CFR part 55, and by extension this update to the rules, 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq. and has assigned OMB control number

[[Page 23116]]

2060-0249. Notice of OMB's approval of EPA Information Collection 
Request (``ICR'') No. 1601.06 was published in the Federal Register on 
March 1, 2006 (71 FR 10499-10500). The approval expires January 31, 
2009.
    As EPA previously indicated (70 FR 65897-65898 (November 1, 2005)), 
the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for collection of 
information under 40 CFR part 55 is estimated to average 549 hours per 
response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources 
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time 
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize 
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and 
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and 
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to 
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; 
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; 
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on 
the form and/or instrument, if applicable. In addition, EPA is amending 
the table in 40 CFR part 9 of currently approved OMB control numbers 
for various regulations to list the regulatory citations for the 
information requirements contained in this final rule.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (``RFA'') generally requires an 
agency to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject 
to notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the agency 
certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small 
businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental 
jurisdictions.
    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. This rule implements requirements 
specifically and explicitly set forth by the Congress in section 328 of 
the Clean Air Act, without the exercise of any policy discretion by 
EPA. These OCS rules already apply in the COA, and EPA has no evidence 
to suggest that these OCS rules have had a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities. As required by section 328 
of the Clean Air Act, this action simply updates the existing OCS 
requirements to make them consistent with rules in the COA. Therefore, 
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (``UMRA''), 
Public Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to 
assess the effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and 
tribal governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the 
UMRA, EPA generally must prepare written statements, including a cost-
benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal 
mandates'' that may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal 
governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 
million of more in any one year.
    Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement is 
needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify and 
consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the 
least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative that 
achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205 do 
not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover, 
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least 
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the 
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that 
alternative was not adopted.
    Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including tribal 
governments, it must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a 
small government agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying 
potentially affected small governments, enabling officials of affected 
small governments to have meaningful and timely input in the 
development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant Federal 
intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising 
small governments on compliance with the regulatory requirements.
    Today's final rule contains no Federal mandates (under the 
regulatory provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State, local, or 
tribal governments or the private sector that may result in 
expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local, or tribal 
governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector in any one 
year. This rule implements requirements specifically and explicitly set 
forth by the Congress in section 328 of the Clean Air Act without the 
exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. These OCS rules already apply 
in the COA, and EPA has no evidence to suggest that these OCS rules 
have created an adverse material effect. As required by section 328 of 
the Clean Air Act, this action simply updates the existing OCS 
requirements to make them consistent with rules in the COA.

E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255 (August 
10, 1999)), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure 
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the 
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.'' 
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the 
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct 
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
    This final rule does not have federalism implications. It will not 
have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship 
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution 
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, 
as specified in Executive Order 13132. This rule implements 
requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the Congress in 
section 328 of the Clean Air Act, without the exercise of any policy 
discretion by EPA. As required by section 328 of the Clean Air Act, 
this rule simply updates the existing OCS rules to make them consistent 
with current COA requirements. This rule does not amend the existing 
provisions within 40 CFR part 55 enabling delegation of OCS regulations 
to a COA, and this rule does not require the COA to implement the OCS 
rules. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.

F. Executive Order 13175, Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination 
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249 (November 9, 2000)), 
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful 
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory 
policies that have tribal

[[Page 23117]]

implications.'' This final rule does not have a substantial direct 
effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the 
Federal Government and Indian tribes or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes 
and thus does not have ``tribal implications,'' within the meaning of 
Executive Order 13175. This rule implements requirements specifically 
and explicitly set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the Clean 
Air Act, without the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. As 
required by section 328 of the Clean Air Act, this rule simply updates 
the existing OCS rules to make them consistent with current COA 
requirements. In addition, this rule does not impose substantial direct 
compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. 
Consultation with Indian tribes is therefore not required under 
Executive Order 13175.

G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children from Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885 (April 23, 1997)), applies 
to any rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant'' 
as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an 
environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may 
have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action 
meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health 
or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the 
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and 
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    This final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it 
is not economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866. In 
addition, the Agency does not have reason to believe the environmental 
health or safety risks addressed by this action present a 
disproportional risk to children.

H. Executive Order 13211, Actions That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)) because it is not a 
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) 
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory 
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable laws 
or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical 
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling 
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by 
voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide 
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decided not to use 
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    As discussed above, this rule implements requirements specifically 
and explicitly set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the Clean 
Air Act, without the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. As 
required by section 328 of the Clean Air Act, this final rule simply 
updates the existing OCS rules to make them consistent with current COA 
requirements. In the absence of a prior existing requirement for the 
state to use voluntary consensus standards and in light of the fact 
that EPA is required to make the OCS rules consistent with current COA 
requirements, it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA to 
use voluntary consensus standards in this action. Therefore, EPA is not 
considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

J. Congressional Review Act

    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 rule 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). This action will be effective May 29, 2008.

K. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air, petitions for judicial 
review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of 
Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 30, 2008. Filing a petition 
for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final action 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))
