EPA is taking direct final action approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of South Dakota on January 14, 2005. The January 14, 2005 submittal revises the Administrative Rules of South Dakota, Air Pollution Control Program, by modifying the chapters pertaining to definitions, ambient air quality, air quality episodes, operating permits for minor sources, regulated air pollutant emissions, new source review, performance testing, control of visible emissions, and continuous emission monitoring systems. In addition, the State made revisions to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program, which has been delegated to the State. The intended effect of this action is to make these revisions federally enforceable. We are also announcing that on March 23, 2005, we updated the delegation of authority for the implementation and enforcement of the New Source Performance Standards to the State of South Dakota. These actions are being taken under sections 110 and 111 of the Clean Air Act.

On January 14, 2005, the State of South Dakota submitted revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The specific revisions to the SIP contained in the January 14, 2005 submittal are explained below. The January 14, 2005 submittal also contained revisions to other sections of the Administrative Rules of South Dakota (ARSD) that are not part of the SIP. This rule does not address revisions to ARSD 74:36:05, 74:36:07, 74:36:08, or 74:36:16 that were part of the January 14, 2005 submittal.
ARSD 74:36:01 was revised to repeal the definitions for “actual emissions”, “major modification”, “reconstruction of sources”, and “significant”. These terms pertain to federal programs that the State adopts by reference and the Federal programs define these terms. The State adopts by reference the definitions for actual emissions and major modification in ARSD 74:36:10:02, the definition for reconstruction of sources in ARSD 74:36:07:01 and 74:36:08:01, and significant in ARSD 7436:09:02. Therefore, the State is repealing these definitions and has adopted by reference the Federal definitions. The State is deleting the definitions for “Part 70” and “reference method” since they are not used anywhere in article 74:36, and is revising the definition for “permit modification” to reflect that the term permit modification pertains to both Part 70 operating permits and minor operating permits. The State has revised the definitions for “categories of sources” and “modification” to make them equivalent to the federal definitions. In addition, the State has revised several definitions to update the incorporation of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to the July 1, 2003 CFR and has made minor typographical corrections.
The State has revised these sections to update the incorporation of the CFR to the July 1, 2003 CFR and has made minor typographical corrections.
Subsection 74:36:04:04 contains the standard that is used to issue an operating permit. Both a new source and a permit modification must demonstrate that it will not interfere with the attainment or maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The State has revised this subsection to include the term permit modification which was not previously included. The State has also revised this section to update the incorporation of the CFR to the July 1, 2003 CFR and has made minor typographical corrections.
Subsection 74:36:06:04 pertains to particulate emission restrictions for incinerators and wood waste burners. The State is revising this section to include a reference to chapter 74:36:08 to include emission limits from this chapter that apply to incinerators. The State is also revising subsection 74:36:06:06, which identifies those units that emit enough air pollutants to warrant a stack performance test to ensure compliance with state and federal air emission limits. Prior to this revision, this subsection only identified new units and a major modification as having to perform a stack test. The State is revising this section by removing the term “major” so that any modification will require a stack performance test to ensure compliance. Start Printed Page 46405
The January 14, 2005 submittal by the State updated the effective date of the incorporated by reference NSPS to July 1, 2003. EPA is announcing that on March 23, 2005, we updated the delegation of authority for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS to the State. The March 23, 2005 letter of delegation to the State follows:
Pierre, SD 57501-3182.
On January 14, 2005, the State submitted a revision to the Air Pollution Control Program for South Dakota. Specifically, the state revised its rules to incorporate the July 1, 2003 Code of Federal Regulations. This revision, in effect, updates the citation of the incorporated Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) to July 1, 2003.
(A) Responsibility for all sources located, or to be located, in the State of South Dakota subject to the standards of performance for new stationary sources promulgated in 40 CFR part 60. The categories of new stationary sources covered by this delegation are all NSPS subparts in 40 CFR part 60, as in effect on July 1, 2003. Note this delegation does not include the emission guidelines in subparts Cb, Cc, Cd, Ce, BBBB and DDDD. These subparts require state plans which are approved under a separate process pursuant to section 111(d) of the Act.
(H) Acceptance of this delegation of presently promulgated NSPS does not commit the State of South Dakota to accept delegation of future standards and requirements. A new request for delegation will be required for any standards not included in the state's request of January 14, 2005.
Enclosure cc: Brian Gustafson, Administrator, South Dakota Air Quality Program
On July 6, 1994, EPA delegated the authority to South Dakota to implement and enforce the Federal PSD permitting regulations (see 59 FR 47260). In order to maintain their delegation for the implementation and enforcement of the PSD program, the State has made revisions to ARSD 74:36:09 to make it equivalent to EPA's regulations. The State has revised this chapter by removing the references to Federal Register notices published after July 1, 2002 and adding references to the July 1, 2003 CFR. The delegation of the PSD program to the State still carries the same terms of delegation as outlined in the 1994 Federal Register notice (59 FR 47260). In delegating the PSD program to the State, the State agrees to follow EPA's interpretations of the regulations, as articulated in regulatory preambles, guidance, and other Agency statements.
EPA is approving revisions to the South Dakota SIP submitted by the State on January 14, 2005. The revisions we are approving are revisions to ARSD 74:36:01, 73:36:02, 74:36:03, 74:36:04, 74:36:06, 74:36:10, 74:36:11, 74:36:12, and 74:36:13. We are approving revisions to the delegated PSD program in ARSD 74:36:09. We are also announcing that on March 23, 2005, we updated the delegation of authority for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS to the State of South Dakota.
EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. However, in the “Proposed Rules” section of today's Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are filed. This rule will be effective October 13, 2006 without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments by September 13, 2006. If the EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. 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.
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a “significant regulatory action” and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, “Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use” (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule Start Printed Page 46407approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it 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).
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 13, 2006. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
2. In § 52.2170, the table in paragraph (c) is amended by revising the entries for chapters 74:36:01, 73:36:02, 74:36:03, 74:36:04, 74:36:06, 74:36:10, 74:36:11, 74:36:12, and 74:36:13 of the Administrative Rules of South Dakota to read as follows:
