The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the materials that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the Pennsylvania state implementation plan (SIP). The regulations affected by this update have been previously submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and approved by EPA. This update affects the SIP materials that are available for public inspection at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the EPA Regional Office.
The SIP is a living document which a state revises as necessary to address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, EPA, from time to time, must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised regulations as being part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference federally-approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between EPA and the Office of the Federal Register (OFR). The description of the revised SIP document, IBR procedures and “Identification of plan” format are discussed in further detail in the May 22, 1997 Federal Register document. On February 25, 2005 (70 FR 9450), EPA published a document in the Federal Register beginning the new IBR procedure for Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties. On January 3, 2007 (72 FR 200), March 25, 2009 (74 FR 13014), July 5, 2011 (76 FR 38992), and August 1, 2013 (78 FR 46516), EPA published updates to the IBR material for Pennsylvania.
Since the publication of the last IBR update, EPA has approved the following regulatory changes to the following regulations and sections for Pennsylvania and Allegheny County:
1. Additions of the following regulations or sections in 25 PA Code, article III:
a. Chapter 123 (Standards for Contaminants, Sulfur Compound Emissions), sections 123.22(f) and 123.22(g).
b. Chapter 129 (Standard for Sources), (Sources for VOCs), sections 67(a) and 67(b).
2. Addition of title 65 (Pennsylvania Statute—Public Officers), part II (Accountability), chapter 11 (Ethics, Standards, and Financial Disclosure), sections 1101 (Short title of chapter), 1102 (Definitions), 1104 (Statement of financial interests required to be filed), 1105 (Statement of financial interests) and 1109 (Penalties).
3. Additions of the following regulations or sections in Allegheny County article XXI:
a. Additional definitions were added to part A (General), section 2102.20.
b. Part D (Pollutant Emission Standards), section 2104.09.
c. Part E (Source Emission and Operating Standards), subpart 7 (Miscellaneous VOC Sources), section 2105.80 through 2105.86 inclusive.
1. Revisions to the following regulations or sections in 25 PA Code, article III:
a. Chapter 121 (General Provisions), section 121.1.
b. Chapter 123 (Sulfur Compound Emissions), sections 123.22(a) through (e) inclusive.
c. Chapter 127 (Construction, Modification, Reactivation, and Operation of Sources), subchapter I (Plan Approval and Operating Permit Fees), section 127.701.
d. Chapter 129 (Standards for Sources), (Sources of VOCs), sections 129.51, 129.67, and 129.77.
e. Chapter 130 (Standards for Products), subchapter D (Adhesives, Sealants, Primers and Solvents), section 130.703.
f. Chapter 139 (Sampling and Testing), subchapter A (Sampling and Testing Methods and Procedures—General), section 139.4.
g. Chapter 139 (Sampling and Testing), subchapter A (Sampling and Testing Methods and Procedures—Stationary Sources), section 139.16.
2. Revisions to Allegheny County article XXI:
a. Part A (General), sections 2101.10 and 2101.20.
b. Part B (Permits Generally), sections 2102.04, 2102.06, 2102.08 and 2102.10.
c. Part E (Source Emission and Operating Standards), subpart 1—VOC Sources, sections 2105.10 and 2105.11.
d. Part E (Source Emission and Operating Standards), subpart 5—Open Burning and Abrasive Blasting Sources, section 2105.50.
In 25 PA Code article III, chapter 130 (Standards for Products), subchapter A (Portable Fuel Containers), sections 130.101 through 130.108 inclusive have been removed.
In this action, EPA is announcing the update to the IBR material as of July 1, 2016 and revising the text within 40 CFR 52.2020(b).
EPA is revising our 40 CFR part 52 “Identification of Plan” for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania regarding incorporation by reference, § 52.2020(b). EPA is revising § 52.2020(b)(1) to clarify that all SIP revisions listed in paragraphs (c) and (d), regardless of inclusion in the most recent “update to the SIP compilation,” are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking in which EPA approved the SIP revision, consistent with following our “Approval and Promulgations of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Revised Format of 40 CFR part 52 for Materials Being Incorporated by Reference,” effective May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968). EPA is revising § 52.2020(b)(2) to clarify references to other portions of paragraph (b) with paragraph (b)(2). EPA is revising paragraph (b)(3) to update address and contact information.
In the table for paragraph 40 CFR 52.2020(c)(1), EPA is taking the following action:
Rearrange entries in chapter 123 (Standards for Contaminants), (Sulfur Compound Emissions), section 123.22 (a) through 123.22(e).Start Printed Page 24857
EPA has further determined that the entries found in the tables of paragraphs (c)(2), (c)(3), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4), (e)(1), and (e)(2) are correct in the CFR and need no additional editing at this time.
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 previously EPA approved regulations promulgated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and federally effective prior to July 1, 2016. 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.[1] EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through 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).
EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the Pennsylvania SIP compilations had previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees no need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for judicial review for this “Identification of plan” update action for Pennsylvania.

b. In paragraph (c)(1), revising the entries under “Chapter 123—Standards for Contaminants,” “Sulfur Compound Emission”.
