EPA is amending certain regulations to reflect the current delegation status of national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) in Arizona and Nevada. Several NESHAP were delegated to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, and Washoe County District Health Department within the past 18 months. The purpose of this action is to update the listing in the Code of Federal Regulations.
C. Nevada Delegations
D. Washoe County Delegations
This rule is effective on April 27, 2010 without furthernotice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by March 29, 2010. If we receive such comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify the public that this direct final rule will not take effect.
On March 2, 2000, EPA published a direct final action delegating to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (Maricopa County) several NESHAP and approving Maricopa County's delegation mechanism for future standards (see 65 FR 11231). That action explained the procedure for EPA to grant future delegations to Maricopa County by letter, with periodic Federal Register listings of standards that have been delegated. On March 11, 2009, Maricopa County requested delegation of the following NESHAP contained in 40 CFR Part 63:
Subpart DDDD—NESHAP: Plywood and Composite Wood Products.
Subpart DDDDD—NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters.
On April 28, 2009, EPA granted delegation to Maricopa County for these NESHAP, along with any amendments to previously delegated NESHAP, as of July 1, 2006. Today's action is serving to notify the public of the April 28, 2009, delegation and to codify these delegations into the Code of Federal Regulations.
On May 27, 1998, EPA published a direct final action delegating to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) several NESHAP and approving NDEP's delegation mechanism for future standards (see 63 FR 28906). That action explained the procedure for EPA to grant delegations to NDEP by letter, with periodic Federal Register listings of standards that have been delegated. On September 29, 2008, NDEP requested delegation of the following NESHAP contained in 40 CFR Part 63:
The amendments to Subpart DDDD—NESHAP: Plywood and Composite Wood Products, as set forth in 72 FR 61060 (October 29, 2007).
The amendments to Subpart A—General Provisions, as set forth in 73 FR 3568 (January 18, 2008).
The amendments to Subpart ZZZZ—NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, as set forth in 73 FR 3568 (January 18, 2008).
The amendments to Subpart EEEEE—NESHAP for Iron and Steel Foundries, as set forth in 73 FR 7210 (February 7, 2008).
Subpart WWWWW—National Emission Standards for Hospital Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers.
Subpart YYYYY—NESHAP for Area Sources: Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking Facilities.
Subpart ZZZZZ—NESHAP for Iron and Steel Foundries Area Sources.
The amendments to Subpart EEEEEE—NESHAP for Primary Copper Smelting Area Sources, as set forth in 72 FR 36363 (July 3, 2007).
The amendments to Subpart FFFFFF—NESHAP for Secondary Copper Smelting Area Sources, as set forth in 72 FR 36363 (July 3, 2007).
Subpart LLLLLL—NESHAP for Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers Production Area Sources.
Subpart MMMMMM—NESHAP for Carbon Black Production Area Sources.
Subpart NNNNNN—NESHAP for Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources: Chromium Compounds.
Subpart OOOOOO—NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production and Fabrication Area Sources.
Subpart PPPPPP—NESHAP for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Area Sources.
Subpart QQQQQQ—NESHAP for Wood Preserving Area Sources.
Subpart RRRRRR—NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing Area Sources.
Subpart SSSSSS—NESHAP for Glass Manufacturing Area Sources.
Subpart TTTTTT—NESHAP for Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing Area Sources.
On December 1, 2008, EPA granted delegation to NDEP for these NESHAP. Today's action is serving to notify the public of the December 1, 2008, delegations and to codify these delegations into the Code of Federal Regulations.
On May 27, 1998, EPA published a direct final action delegating to Washoe County District Health Department (Washoe County) several NESHAPs and approving Washoe County's delegation mechanism for future standards (see 63 FR 28906). That action explained the procedure for EPA to grant future delegations to Washoe County by letter, with periodic Federal Register listings of standards that have been delegated. On January 15, 2009, the Washoe County Air Quality Management Division requested delegation of the following NESHAP contained in 40 CFR Part 63:
Subpart VVV—Publicly Owned Treatment Works.
Subpart EEEE—Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline).
Subpart WWWW—Reinforced Plastic Composites Production.
Subpart ZZZZ—Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.
Subpart WWWWW—Hospital Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers.
Subpart BBBBBB—Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Bulk Plants and Pipeline Facilities.
Subpart CCCCCC—Gasoline Dispensing Facilities.
Subpart HHHHHH—Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations at Area Sources.
Subpart OOOOOO—Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations Area Sources.
Subpart WWWWWW—Area Source Standards for Plating and Polishing Operations.
Subpart XXXXXX—Area Source Standards for Nine Metal Fabrication and Finishing Source Categories.
On February 26, 2009, EPA granted delegation to Washoe County for these NESHAP, along with any amendments to previously-delegated NESHAP, as of August 28, 2008. Today's action is serving to notify the public of the February 26, 2009, delegations and to codify these delegations into the Code of Federal Regulations.
Today's document serves to notify the public of the delegation of NESHAP to Maricopa County on April 28, 2009, to NDEP on December 1, 2008, and to Washoe County on February 26, 2009. Today's action will codify these delegations into the Code of Federal Regulations.
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve delegation requests that comply with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7412(l); 40 CFR 63.91(b). Thus, in reviewing delegation 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:
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 April 27, 2010. 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)).
This action is issued under the authority of Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 7412.
Date Signed: January 20, 2010.
Director, Air Division Region IX.
