SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, wherever “we,” “us,” or “our” is used, it means the EPA.
I. Background
On January 28, 2020, we proposed to approve updates to certain PSCAA regulations currently in the SIP, remove obsolete regulations, and approve a subset of updated Ecology regulations to apply in PSCAA's jurisdiction (85 FR 4921). The reasons for our proposed approval were stated in the proposed rule and will not be re-stated here.
II. Response to Comments
The public comment period for our proposed action ended on February 27, 2020. We received two comments. Both comments are included in the docket for this action. The first comment focused on permitting requirements under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program operated in Washington State by Ecology and the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC). Saliently, the EPA did not propose any changes to the PSD regulations in Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-400-700 through 173-400-750. Further, as discussed in the proposal for this action, PSCAA does not issue PSD permits in Washington State. For the above reasons, we consider the first comment to be outside the scope of this action. The second comment was a generalized critique of the EPA. We do not consider these comments to be germane or relevant to this action and therefore not adverse to this action. The comments lack the required specificity to the proposed SIP revision and the relevant requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) section 110. Moreover, none of the comments address a specific regulation or provision in question or recommend a different action on the SIP submission from what the EPA proposed. Therefore, we are finalizing our action as proposed.
III. Final Action
A. Regulations Approved and Incorporated by Reference Into the SIP
The EPA is approving and incorporating by reference into the Washington SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 7—Additional Regulations Approved for the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) Jurisdiction, the following PSCAA Regulation I sections (effective date):
- 1.01 (11/01/1999), 1.07 (12/01/2018), 3.03(f) (02/01/2012), 3.04 (07/01/2012), 3.25 (11/01/2019), 5.03 (11/01/2016), 5.05 (02/01/2017), 6.01 (05/01/2013), 6.03 (11/01/2015), 6.09 (05/01/2004), 6.10 (09/01/2001), 7.09 (02/01/2017), 9.03 (05/01/2004), 9.04 (05/01/2004), 9.07 (05/19/1994), 9.08 (05/01/2004), 9.09 (06/01/1998), 9.11(a) (04/17/1999), 9.13 (06/09/1988), 9.15 (04/17/1999), 9.16 (12/02/2010), 9.18 (03/02/2012), and 12.03 (11/01/2015).
The EPA is also approving and incorporating by reference PSCAA's adoption by reference of the following Chapter 173-400 WAC provisions submitted for approval (effective date):
- 173-400-030 (12/29/2012), 173-400-081 (04/01/2011), 173-400-110 (12/29/2012), 173-400-111 (07/01/2016), 173-400-112 (12/29/2012), 173-400-113 (12/29/2012), 173-400-117 (12/29/2012), 173-400-171 (07/01/2016), 173-400-200 (02/10/2005), 173-400-560 (12/29/2012), 173-400-800 (4/01/2011), 173-400-810 (07/01/2016), 173-400-820 (12/29/2012), 173-400-830 (07/01/2016), 173-400-840 (07/01/2016), 173-400-850 (07/01/2016), and 173-400-860 (4/01/2011).
Lastly, for Chapter 173-400 WAC provisions not adopted by reference by PSCAA, we are approving the following updates to apply within PSCAA's jurisdiction (effective date):
- 173-400-020 (12/29/2012), 173-400-040 (09/16/2018), 173-400-091 (4/1/2011), 173-400-105 (11/25/2018), 173-400-118 (12/29/2012), 173-400-131 (04/1/2011), 173-400-136 (12/29/2012), 173-400-151 (2/10/2005), and 173-400-175 (2/10/2005).
Please see the amendatory text for more detailed information about the provisions submitted and approved in this action, including local agency corollaries which replace certain Chapter 173-400 WAC provisions and exclusions to our approval.
B. Approved But Not Incorporated by Reference Regulations
In addition to the regulations approved and incorporated by reference above, the EPA reviews and approves state and local clean air agency submissions to ensure they provide adequate enforcement authority and other general authority to implement and enforce the SIP. However, regulations describing such agency enforcement and other general authority are generally not incorporated by reference so as to avoid potential conflict with the EPA's independent authorities. On August 31, 2004, the EPA reviewed and approved Regulation I, sections 3.01, 3.05, 3.09, 3.13, 3.15, 3.17, 3.19, and 3.21 as providing PSCAA adequate enforcement and other general authority for purposes of implementing and enforcing its SIP but did not incorporate these provisions by reference (69 FR 53007). While these provisions remain unchanged since our last review and approval, we are including these sections in 40 CFR 52.2470(e), EPA Approved Nonregulatory Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures, as approved but not incorporated by reference regulatory provisions. Lastly, PSCAA updated Regulation 1, sections 3.07 and 3.11 which we are approving, but not incorporating by reference.
C. Regulations To Remove From the SIP
As discussed in the proposal for this action, we are removing from the SIP Regulation I, sections 5.02, 6.03(b)(10) [formerly 6.03(b)(17)], 6.04, 6.06, 6.07, and 6.08. We are also removing outdated Chapter 173-400 WAC provisions and replacing them with the submitted PSCAA replacement corollaries, including PSCAA's adoption by reference of certain Chapter 173-400 WAC provisions, or the currently approved updates to Chapter 173-400 WAC. Please see 85 FR 10301 (February 24, 2020) for our most recent approval of Chapter 173-400 WAC.
D. Scope of Proposed Action
This revision to the SIP applies specifically to the PSCAA jurisdiction incorporated into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 7. As discussed in our proposal, local air agency jurisdiction in Washington is generally defined on a geographic basis; however, there are exceptions. By statute, PSCAA does not have authority for sources under the jurisdiction of EFSEC. See Revised Code of Washington Chapter 80.50. Under the applicability provisions of WAC 173-405-012, 173-410-012, and 173-415-012, PSCAA also does not have jurisdiction for kraft pulp mills, sulfite pulping mills, and primary aluminum plants. For these sources, Ecology retains statewide, direct jurisdiction. Ecology and EFSEC also retain statewide, direct jurisdiction for issuing PSD permits. Therefore, the EPA is not approving into 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 7 those provisions of Chapter 173-400 WAC related to the PSD program. Specifically, these provisions are WAC 173-400-116 and WAC 173-400-700 through 173-400-750, which the EPA has already approved as applying state-wide under 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Tables 2 and 3.
Also, as described in our proposal for this action, jurisdiction to implement the visibility permitting program contained in WAC 173-400-117 varies depending on the situation. Ecology and EFSEC retain authority to implement WAC 173-400-117 as it relates to PSD permits. However, for facilities subject to major nonattainment new source review (NSR) under the applicability provisions of WAC 173-400-800, incorporated by reference in Regulation I, we are approving PSCAA's implementation of those parts of WAC 173-400-117 as they relate to major nonattainment NSR permits. Therefore, we are modifying the visibility protection Federal Implementation Plan contained in 40 CFR 52.2498 to reflect the approval of WAC 173-400-117 as it applies to implementation of the major nonattainment NSR program in PSCAA's jurisdiction.
Lastly, this SIP revision is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land in Washington except as specifically noted below and is also not approved to apply in any other area where the 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). Washington's SIP is approved to apply on non-trust land within the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known as the 1873 Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly provided state and local agencies in Washington authority over activities on non-trust lands within the 1873 Survey Area.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are finalizing the incorporation by reference as described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 10 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by the 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 the EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.[1]
V. Statutory and Executive Order Review
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 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:
- 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);
- Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted 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 it does not address technical standards; and
- Does not provide the 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).
The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land in Washington except as specifically noted below and is also not approved to apply in any other area where the 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). Washington's SIP is approved to apply on non-trust land within the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known as the 1873 Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly provided State and local agencies in Washington authority over activities on non-trust lands within the 1873 Survey Area. Consistent with EPA policy, the EPA provided a consultation opportunity to the Puyallup Tribe in a letter dated March 21, 2018.
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. The EPA will submit a report containing this action 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).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 22, 2020. 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
