[EPA-R01-OAR-2019-0218; FRL-9994-95-Region 1]

Air Plan Approval; Maine; Reasonably Available Control Technology 
for the 2008 Ozone Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the 
State of Maine for purposes of implementing the 2008 Ozone National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The revisions consist of a 
demonstration that Maine meets the requirements of reasonably available 
control technology (RACT) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), set 
forth by the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), with respect to the 2008 Ozone 
standards. Additionally, we are proposing to approve a related 
regulation that limits air emissions of VOCs from certain industrial 
sources that use organic solvents in cleaning activities, and to 
withdraw several previously approved source-specific RACT requirements 
for sources that have ceased operation. This action is being taken 
under the Clean Air Act.

I. Background

    Maine is part of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) under Section 
184(a) of the CAA. Sections 182(b)(2) and 184 of the CAA require states 
with Ozone nonattainment areas that are classified as moderate or 
above, as well as areas in the OTR, to submit a SIP revision requiring 
the implementation of reasonably available control technology (RACT) 
for sources covered by a control techniques guideline (CTG) and for all 
major sources. A CTG is a document issued by EPA which establishes a 
``presumptive norm'' for RACT for a specific VOC source category. 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.\1\ The CTGs usually identifies a particular control level 
which EPA recommends as being RACT. States are required to address RACT 
for the source categories covered by CTGs through adoption of rules as 
part of the SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Memorandum from Roger Strelow, Assistant Administrator 
for Air and Waste Management, U.S. EPA, to Regional Administrators, 
U.S. EPA, ``Guidance for Determining Acceptability of SIP 
Regulations in Non-Attainment Areas'' (Dec. 9, 1976); see also 44 FR 
53761, 53762 (September 17, 1979).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 5, 2006 (71 FR 58745), EPA issued four new CTGs, which 
applicable areas were required to address by October 5, 2007: 
Industrial Cleaning Solvents; Offset Lithographic Printing and 
Letterpress Printing; Flexible Package Printing; and Flat Wood Paneling 
Coatings. On October 9, 2007 (72 FR 57215), EPA issued three more CTGs, 
which applicable areas were required to address by October 9, 2008: 
Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; Large Appliance Coatings; and Metal 
Furniture Coatings. On October 7, 2008 (73 FR 58841), EPA issued an 
additional four CTGs, which applicable areas were required to address 
by October 7, 2009: Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings; 
Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials; Miscellaneous Industrial 
Adhesives; and Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings. 
Lastly, on Oct 27, 2016 (81 FR 74798), EPA issued a new CTG for the Oil 
and Natural Gas Industry, which applicable areas were required to 
address by October 27, 2018.
    On March 27, 2008 (73 FR 16436), EPA revised the health-based NAAQS 
for Ozone to 0.075 parts per million (ppm), averaged over an 8-hour 
timeframe. EPA determined that the revised 8-hour standard would be 
more protective of human health, especially with regard to children and 
adults who are active outdoors and individuals with a pre-existing 
respiratory disease such as asthma.
    On July 29, 2014 (79 FR 43945), EPA published a final rule 
approving a request from Maine for an exemption from the requirements 
for the control of nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions contained 
in section 182(f) of the CAA in relation to the 2008 8-hour Ozone 
NAAQS, providing an exemption from nonattainment new source review 
(NNSR) and RACT for major new sources of NOX emissions in 
Maine.
    On March 6, 2015 (80 FR 12264), EPA published a final rule 
outlining RACT requirements and requiring states in the OTR to certify 
RACT requirements by July 20, 2014. This rule, referred to as the 
``2008 Ozone implementation rule,''

[[Page 27047]]

contains a description of EPA's expectations for states with RACT 
obligations. The 2008 Ozone implementation rule gives states several 
options for meeting RACT requirements for the 2008 Ozone standard. 
States may (1) establish new or more stringent rules that meet RACT 
control levels for the 2008 standard; (2) certify, where appropriate, 
that previously adopted RACT rules approved by EPA under a prior Ozone 
standard represent adequate RACT control levels for the 2008 Ozone 
NAAQS; or (3) submit a negative declaration in instances where there 
are no sources in the state covered by a specific CTG source category. 
States may use these options alone or in combination to demonstrate 
compliance with RACT requirements.
    On October 26, 2015 (80 FR 65291), EPA revised the health-based 
NAAQS for Ozone, setting it at 0.070 ppm averaged over an 8-hour time 
frame. On December 6, 2018 (83 FR 62998), EPA published a final rule 
that outlines the obligations for areas in nonattainment with the 2015 
Ozone standard, as well as obligations for areas in the OTR. This rule, 
referred to as the ``2015 Ozone implementation rule,'' requires states 
in the OTR to certify RACT requirements by August 3, 2020.
    On February 3, 2017 (82 FR 9158), EPA published a final rule 
finding that Maine, as well as 14 other states and the District of 
Columbia, had failed to submit SIP revisions in a timely manner to 
satisfy certain requirements for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS. With respect to 
Maine, EPA found that the state had failed to submit two required SIP 
elements: Non-CTG VOC RACT for Major Sources and CTG VOC RACT. Id. at 
9162. This finding became effective March 6, 2017, and started a SIP 
sanctions clock, which required the missing SIP elements to be 
submitted and deemed complete before September 6, 2018. Id. at 9160-61.

II. Summary of Maine's SIP Revisions

    On August 31, 2018, Maine submitted a SIP revision to address its 
outstanding RACT requirements for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS (i.e., a RACT 
Certification). The approval of Maine's section 182(f) NOX 
waver for the 2008 8-hour Ozone standard eliminated the need for Maine 
to address NOX RACT in its 2018 Certification (79 FR 43945). 
Therefore, the RACT Certification addresses non-CTG VOC RACT for Major 
Sources and CTG VOC RACT. The submittal is based on (1) certification 
that previously adopted RACT controls, which were approved by EPA for 
the 1997 8-hour Ozone NAAQS, are based on currently available 
technically and economically feasible controls and continue to 
represent RACT for implementation of the 2008 Ozone NAAQS; (2) adoption 
of more recent regulations that represent RACT controls; and (3) 
negative declarations that there are no sources in the state covered by 
specific CTG source categories (see section III below). Maine's 
submittal includes a request for EPA approval of 06-096 Code of Maine 
Rules (CMR) Chapter 166 ``Industrial Cleaning Solvents'' to address 
EPA's 2006 CTG for Industrial Cleaning Solvents. Maine's submittal also 
requests that EPA remove from the SIP several previously approved 
source-specific RACT requirements for facilities that no longer exist 
or, in one case, for a facility that no longer operates the process 
controlled by the source-specific requirements.
    On September 4, 2018, EPA determined that Maine's SIP submittal was 
administratively and technically complete. This determination stopped 
the 18-month sanctions clock for Maine's two outstanding RACT SIP 
submittal elements. Because the sanctions clock stopped before 
September 6, 2018, sanctions did not become applicable in the state of 
Maine from the February 2017 finding of failure to submit (82 FR 9158).
    On May 13, 2019, Maine modified its August 2018 SIP revision by 
letter in which it withdrew an item in the submitted SIP Revision. 
Specifically, on Table 3, ``Previously-Approved RACT Determinations for 
Major Sources of VOC in Maine Now Permanently Closed or No Longer 
Subject to RACT,'' Maine withdrew (i.e., removed) the row entitled 
``United Technologies Corporation, Pratt and Whitney, North Berwick.'' 
As a result of this withdrawal, the United Technology, Pratt and 
Whitney, North Berwick source-specific requirements approved by EPA 
will remain in the Maine SIP.
    Maine's August 2018 SIP submittal does not address RACT 
requirements for the 2015 Ozone standard, or the 2016 CTG for the Oil 
and Natural Gas Industry and, therefore, these are not addressed in 
today's notice.

III. EPA's Evaluation of the Submittal

A. CTG VOC RACT Regulations

    In Maine's August 2018 SIP revision, Table 1 lists each of the 
state's VOC RACT regulations, the RACT basis for the regulation (e.g., 
CTG, ACT), the citation of EPA's approval of all but one of the 
regulations (i.e., 06-096 CMR Chapter 166 ``Industrial Cleaning 
Solvents,'' which we propose to approve in today's action), and 
certifies that the state's current VOC RACT rules represent RACT under 
the 2008 Ozone NAAQS. On May 22, 2012 (77 FR 30216), EPA approved 
Maine's RACT Certification with respect to the 1997 Ozone NAAQS. In 
this 2012 approval, EPA also approved regulations that address four 
CTGs issued since the 1997 Ozone standard (i.e., Flat Wood Paneling 
Coatings; Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings; Offset Lithographic Printing 
and Letterpress Printing; and Metal Furniture Coatings). On November 5, 
2014, (79 FR 65588), EPA approved Maine's regulations that address two 
CTGs: Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives and Flexible Package Printing. 
On May 26, 2016 (81 FR 33394), EPA approved Maine regulations that 
address two more CTGs: Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings; and Fiberglass 
Boat Manufacturing Materials. This 2016 action also approved negative 
declarations for two CTGs: Large Appliance Coatings; and Automobile and 
Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings. In today's action, EPA is proposing 
to approve 06-096 CMR Chapter 166, which Maine included in its August 
2018 SIP submission to address the Industrial Cleaning Solvent CTG. 
This is the last CTG that Maine is required to address for RACT 
Certification with respect to the 2008 Ozone NAAQS. EPA has evaluated 
Maine's CTG VOC regulations, which the state certifies as meeting RACT 
for the 2008 Ozone standard and finds that they are sufficiently 
consistent with recommendations in the respective EPA CTGs and are 
based on currently available technologically and economically feasible 
controls. Therefore, EPA proposes that they continue to represent RACT 
in Maine for the 2008 Ozone standard.
    Maine's August 2018 submittal also included negative declarations 
for the following CTG source categories: Auto and Light-Duty Truck 
Assembly Coatings; Equipment Leaks from Natural Gas/Gasoline Processing 
Plants; Fugitive Emissions from Synthetic Organic Chemical Polymer and 
Resin Manufacturing Equipment; Large Petroleum Dry Cleaners; Leaks from 
Petroleum Refinery Equipment; Manufacture of High-Density Polyethylene, 
Polypropylene, and Polystyrene Resins; Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber 
Tires; Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products; 
Manufacturing of Vegetable Oil; Petroleum Liquid Storage in External 
Floating Roof Tanks; Refinery Vacuum Producing Systems, Wastewater 
Separators, and Process Unit Turnarounds; SOCMI Air Oxidation

[[Page 27048]]

Processes; SOCMI Distillation and Reactor Processes; Surface Coating 
for Insulation of Magnet Wire; Surface Coating of Automobiles and 
Light-Duty Trucks; Surface Coating of Coils; Surface Coating of Large 
Appliances; and Wood Furniture Manufacturing. These negative 
declarations mean that Maine has no applicable stationary sources of 
VOC that are covered by these CTGs.

B. Chapter 166: Industrial Cleaning Solvents

    Maine's new regulation 06-096 CMR Chapter 166, ``Industrial 
Cleaning Solvents,'' expands the types of VOC emissions controlled for 
industrial cleaning solvents to address the 2006 Industrial Cleaning 
Solvents CTG. The regulation generally applies to an owner or operator 
of a source that uses industrial cleaning solvents in cleaning 
activities and, before controls, creates actual emissions of 3 tons or 
more of VOC from cleaning activities during any calendar year. As 
described in the regulation, exemptions can apply to cleaning 
activities regulated by another source category. The emission limits 
are achieved by (1) using solvents with a maximum VOC content limit of 
50 grams VOC per liter (0.42 lg/gal), (2) using cleaning solvents with 
a composite vapor pressure of 8.0 millimeters or less of mercury (mm 
Hg) at 20 degrees Celsius, or (3) using an emission control system with 
an overall control efficiency of at least 85 percent. Recordkeeping and 
general work practices are also required for applicable sources. These 
provisions are consistent with EPA's recommendations for such sources 
in the 2006 Industrial Cleaning Solvents CTG. Thus, EPA proposes to 
approve Chapter 166 into the Maine SIP. Adding this regulation to the 
SIP satisfies the anti-backsliding requirements of Section 110(l) of 
the CAA because the new regulation will achieve an equal or greater 
amount of VOC reductions as compared to existing EPA-approved Maine 
regulations applicable to cleaning activities.

C. Non-CTG VOC Major Sources

    Section 184(b)(2) of the CAA requires RACT be applied to any major 
existing stationary source with the potential to emit 50 tons or 
greater per year of VOC. Maine's Chapter 134, ``RACT for Facilities 
that Emit VOCs,'' rule generally applies to Maine sources with 
potential VOC emissions of 40 tons per year or greater that are not 
regulated by a specific regulation. In 2012 (77 FR 30216), EPA approved 
Chapter 134 as meeting RACT requirements for the 1997 Ozone NAAQS. EPA 
proposes that Chapter 134 continues to represent RACT for applicable 
major stationary sources of VOCs in Maine for the 2008 Ozone standard.
    Maine's EPA-approved Chapter 134 establishes several RACT options, 
two of which set presumptive standards for VOC emissions reductions and 
a third that allows a source to submit a variety of strategies as an 
alternative compliance plan to reduce VOC emissions. Because the third 
option describes a process by which RACT can be defined but does not 
define RACT as required by the CAA, Maine must submit source-specific 
requirements to EPA for all applicable sources that do not conform to 
the presumptive RACT options outlined in the rule. EPA has approved 
many such source-specific RACT determinations into the SIP. See 40 CFR 
52.1020(d). A fourth option specifically addresses VOC RACT 
requirements for pulp and paper processes, requiring that emissions 
from the digester system, multiple effect evaporator systems, 
condensate stripper systems, smelt tanks, and lime kilns be controlled 
through incineration or wet scrubber systems in accordance with Maine's 
Chapter 124 ``Total Reduced Sulfur Control from Kraft Pulp Mills.''
    Chapter 134 also includes provisions that exempt certain sources 
from additional control requirements, such as for equipment or 
processes that have met best available control technology (BACT), have 
met lowest achievable emission rate (LAER), or are subject to a 
separate RACT rule adopted by Maine and approved by EPA. Chapter 134 
also exempts indirect contact wood kilns and wood yards (but not 
groundwood operations) from requirements for additional controls 
because it would not be technologically or economically practical to 
attempt to enclose these areas and capture VOCs and route them to a 
control device.
    Table 2 of Maine's SIP revision lists the major VOC sources in 
Maine, along with their licensed (potential to emit) VOC emissions, and 
notes which sources are subject to applicable RACT requirements and 
which facilities have VOC-emitting equipment or processes that are 
exempt from the total VOC emission determination in Chapter 134. After 
reviewing existing stationary sources in Maine, the state determined 
that all major sources of VOC are currently meeting RACT requirements. 
EPA proposes that Chapter 134 and the previously-approved source-
specific determinations continue to represent RACT for these VOC 
sources in Maine for the 2008 Ozone standard because no new control 
technologies are known to be reasonably available considering 
technological and economic feasibility for these sources since our last 
approval.

D. Withdrawal of Defunct Source-Specific Requirements

    As explained above, Chapter 134 includes a process whereby a major 
VOC source in Maine may seek a source-specific RACT determination 
rather than be held to the specific emission limits or technology 
standards that are set forth in the rule. Because of the generic nature 
of this provision, RACT determinations established thereunder are 
submitted to EPA as revisions to Maine's SIP. Over the years, EPA has 
approved a number of such source-specific RACT determinations into the 
Maine SIP. Several of the sources that have received such RACT 
determinations are now either permanently closed or have ceased 
operations of the regulated activity. In its August 2018 submittal, 
Maine requested withdrawal of these previously SIP-approved source-
specific requirements. Six facilities have permanently closed: (1) 
Prime Tanning Company, York County, Berwick, Maine; (2) JJ Nissen 
Baking Company, Cumberland County, Portland, Maine; (3) Georgia Pacific 
Corporation, Washington County, Baileyville (Woodland), Maine; (4) 
Moosehead Manufacturing Company, Piscataquis County, Dover-Foxcroft, 
Maine; (5) Moosehead Manufacturing Company, Piscataquis County, Monson, 
Maine; and (6) Dexter Shoe Company, Penobscot County, Dexter, Maine. A 
seventh facility--the McCain Foods USA, Inc., Tatermeal Facility in 
Presque Isle--surrendered its license to operate its dryers used to 
dehydrate primarily potato wastes to produce a material used as a 
binder and nutritional supplement in animal feed. EPA proposes to 
remove from the Maine SIP the source-specific RACT requirements 
associated with these sources because the sources are permanently 
closed or have ceased operations of the regulated activity and are, 
therefore, no longer sources of emissions subject to non-CTG VOC RACT. 
Withdrawing these requirements from the Maine SIP satisfies the anti-
backsliding requirements in Section 110(l) of the CAA because the 
sources controlled no longer emit VOCs.

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve 06-096 CMR Chapter 166, ``Industrial 
Cleaning Solvents,'' into the Maine SIP at 40 CFR 52.1020(c), ``EPA 
approved regulations.'' EPA is proposing to approve Maine's SIP 
revision on the basis that Maine has met the RACT

[[Page 27049]]

requirements for the 2008 8-hour Ozone NAAQS as set forth by sections 
182(b) and 184(b)(2) of the CAA. In addition, EPA is proposing to 
approve ``Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision Under the 2008 8-hour Ozone National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS),'' as having satisfied the 2008 8-
hour NAAQS RACT requirements, and as an addition to the Maine SIP at 40 
CFR 52.1020(e) ``Nonregulatory''.
    EPA is proposing to withdraw the following previously-approved 
source-specific RACT requirements for ``Prime Tanning Company, York 
County, Berwick, Maine'' (two approvals); ``JJ Nissen Baking Company, 
Cumberland County, Portland Maine''; ``Georgia Pacific Corporation, 
Washington County, Woodland, Maine''; ``Moosehead Manufacturing 
Company, Piscataquis County, Dover-Foxcroft, Maine''; ``Moosehead 
Manufacturing Company, Piscataquis County, Monson, Maine''; ``Dexter 
Shoe Company, Penobscot County, Dexter, Maine'' (two approvals); and 
``McCain Foods USA, Inc., Tatermeal Facility'', and to remove all 
entries for these facilities which are currently listed in 40 CFR 
52.1020(d) ``EPA-approved State Source specific requirements.''
    EPA is not proposing action with respect to the 2015 Ozone NAAQS or 
with respect to the 2016 CTG for Oil and Natural Gas Industry. EPA is 
soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this notice or on 
other relevant matters. These comments will be considered before taking 
final action. Interested parties may participate in the Federal 
rulemaking procedure by submitting written comments to this proposed 
rule by following the instructions listed in the ADDRESSES section of 
this Federal Register.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule 
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance 
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by 
reference ``Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision Under the 2008 8-Hour Ozone National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS),'' and 06-096 CMR Chapter 166, 
``Industrial Cleaning Solvents.'' The EPA has made, and will continue 
to make, these documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 1 Office (please contact the 
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 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 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 proposed 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 proposed 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);
     This action is not expected to be an Executive Order 13771 
regulatory action because this action is not significant under 
Executive Order 12866;
     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).
