    Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Oklahoma;

    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Direct final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final action approving into the 
    Oklahoma State Implementation Plan (SIP), subchapters of the Oklahoma 
    Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) Air Pollution Control Rules 
    adopted by the State Legislature on March 30, 1994. These Rules, 
    submitted by the Governor to EPA on May 16, 1994, replace most of the 
    existing ODEQ regulations in the Oklahoma SIP. The EPA is taking no 
    action on subchapters of the submittal that are either not equivalent 
    to, or are not in, the current Oklahoma SIP-approved regulations. 
    Approval of this action will make the numbering format and 
    administrative terms of the subchapters being approved consistent with 
    that of the current ODEQ air quality control regulations. The changes 
    are administrative in nature and do not substantively revise the 
    current SIP.
    
    DATES: This rule is effective on January 3, 2000 without further 
    notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by December 3, 1999. If EPA 
    receive such comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the 
    Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take 
    effect.
    
    ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
    Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at the EPA Region 
    6 Office listed below. Copies of documents relevant to this action are 
    available for public inspection during normal business hours at the

    used, we mean EPA.
    
    I. What Is the Purpose of This Action?
    
        This action approves a recodification of the ODEQ regulations in 
    the Oklahoma SIP adopted by the Oklahoma Legislature on March 30, 1994, 
    and submitted by the Governor of Oklahoma on May 16, 1994, as a 
    revision to the Oklahoma SIP. The EPA is approving subchapters of the 
    submittal that are equivalent to the current SIP-approved regulations 
    replaced. The EPA is taking no action on subchapters that have not 
    previously been approved into the Oklahoma SIP or are not equivalent to 
    the existing SIP-approved regulations.
    
    II. Why Is EPA Taking This Action?
    
        The ODEQ has used four different numbering systems for its air 
    quality control regulations since the original Oklahoma SIP was 
    approved by EPA on May 31, 1972 (37 FR 10887). Regulations in the 
    current Oklahoma SIP have been approved under three of these numbering 
    systems.
        The ODEQ air quality control regulations approved with the original 
    Oklahoma SIP were numbered with a one or two digit number such as 
    Regulation Number 4 and Regulation Number 15. Regulations approved by 
    EPA under this numbering system were approved in 40 CFR part 52, 
    Secs. 52.1920(b) to 52.1920(c)(21). Some ODEQ regulations approved 
    under this system are still in the Oklahoma SIP.
        Between 1981 and 1991, the ODEQ used a numbering system such as 
    Regulation 1.1, Regulation 1.4.4, and Regulation 4.1 for its air 
    quality control regulations. Regulations were approved by EPA under 
    this numbering system at 40 CFR 52.1920(c)(24) to 52.1920(c)(41) and 
    52.1920(c)(47).
        In 1990 the Oklahoma State Legislature passed the Oklahoma 
    Administrative Procedures Act which mandated a common format for all 
    Oklahoma rules and regulations. To meet the requirements of the 
    Administrative Procedures Act, the Air Quality Service of the Oklahoma 
    State Department of Health recodified the Oklahoma air pollution 
    control regulations into the Oklahoma Administrative Code, Title 310, 
    Chapter 200 (OAC:310:200), Oklahoma Air Pollution Control Rules. As 
    required by the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act, the Oklahoma 
    Air Pollution Control Rules contained no substantive changes, but was a 
    change in format only. The Governor of Oklahoma submitted the 
    recodified regulations to EPA on July 1, 1992, as a revision to the 
    Oklahoma SIP.
        The EPA has approved two revisions to the ODEQ regulations in the 
    Oklahoma SIP in this numbering system submitted after the July 1, 1992, 
    submittal. The revisions were submitted to EPA on December 10, 1992, 
    and May 16, 1994. Subchapter 31 (OAC:310:200-31), Control of Emissions 
    of Sulfur Compounds, adopted by the State March 24, 1993, and submitted 
    by the Governor on December 10, 1992, was approved by EPA on July 15, 
    1993 (58 FR 38060), at 40 CFR 52.1920(c)(43). Subchapter 23 
    (OAC:310:200-23), Control of Emissions from Cotton Gins, adopted by the 
    State on March 24, 1993, and submitted by the Governor on May 16, 1994, 
    was approved by EPA on May 14, 1997 (62 FR 26393), at 40 CFR 
    52.1920(c)(44).
    
        (Note: The May 16, 1994, submittal of Subchapter 23 
    (OAC:310:200-23) was a completely separate submittal from the May 
    16, 1994, submittal being acted upon in this action.)
    
        Before EPA could take action on the recodified regulations 
    submitted July 1, 1992, the Air Quality Service, in 1993, became the 
    Air Quality Division of the newly created ODEQ. This necessitated the 
    transfer of the Air Pollution Control Rules from OAC:310:200 to new 
    OAC:252:100. The recodification of the regulations to OAC:252:100 was 
    adopted by the Oklahoma Legislature on March 30, 1994, published in the 
    Oklahoma Register on May 16, 1994, effective May 26, 1994, and 
    submitted by the Governor of Oklahoma to EPA as a revision to the 
    Oklahoma SIP on May 16, 1994. There were no substantive changes in the 
    regulations. No regulations or revisions to regulations in the Oklahoma 
    SIP have been approved under this numbering system.
        The intent of this Federal Register action is to approve the 
    regulations in the May 16, 1994, submittal that are equivalent to the 
    current SIP-approved regulations. The EPA is taking no action on 
    subchapters of the submittal that are not equivalent to the current 
    SIP-approved regulations being replaced, or on subchapters that have 
    not previously been approved into the SIP.
    
    [[Page 59630]]
    
    III. What Regulations in the May 16, 1994, Submittal Are Not Being 
    Acted Upon in This Action?
    
        Subchapter 8 (Operating Permits), subchapter 11 (Alternative 
    Emissions Reduction Permits), subchapter 21 (Particulate Matter 
    Emissions from Wood-Waste Burning Equipment), and appendix D 
    (Particulate Matter Emission Limits for Wood Waste Burning Equipment) 
    are not being acted upon in this action because equivalent regulations 
    are not in the current Oklahoma SIP.
        Subchapter 7 (Permits) is not being approved in this recodification 
    because it is a substantial revision to the current SIP-approved 
    regulation. As a result, the following ODEQ regulation remains in the 
    Oklahoma SIP: Regulation 1.4 (Air Resources Management Permits 
    Required) as approved by EPA on August 25, 1983 (48 FR 38636), at 
    Sec. 52.1920(c)(26); January 31, 1991 (56 FR 03781), at 
    Sec. 52.1920(c)(38); and July 23, 1991 (56 FR 33717), at 
    Sec. 52.1920(c)(41). This subchapter will be addressed in a future 
    rulemaking.
        Subchapter 41 (Control of Emission of Hazardous and Toxic Air 
    Contaminants) is not being acted on in this rulemaking because it is 
    not equivalent to the current SIP-approved regulations. As a result, 
    the following ODEQ regulation remains in the Oklahoma SIP: Regulation 
    3.8, (Control of Emission of Hazardous Air Contaminants), as approved 
    by EPA on August 15, 1983 (48 FR 36819), at Sec. 52.1920(c)(27).
    
    IV. What Oklahoma SIP Regulations Are Being Replaced by This 
    Action?
    
        The table below cross-references subchapters in the May 16, 1994, 
    submittal of OAC:252:100 that EPA is approving in this action with 
    previous citations of the regulations. The third (1992) codification is 
    not shown because it is identical to the current codification except 
    that ``252:100'' in the current codification was ``310:200'' in the 
    third codification. The titles shown are the proposed new SIP titles. 
    In some cases these titles are different from the current SIP-approved 
    titles. The current SIP-approved regulations are shown with an ``*'' 
    following the regulation numbers. In some cases, such as new subchapter 
    1, parts of two former codifications are in the current SIP. An ``*'' 
    in the first column means the current SIP regulations were approved 
    under the 1992 ``310-200'' codification.

    V. What Changes Have Been Made to the Regulations?
    
        This section summarizes changes to the regulations initially made 
    in OAC:300:200 and carried over into OAC:252:100.
    
    A. Format Changes
    
        The new numbering system is considerably different from the first 
    two numbering systems. A subchapter number has been assigned to the 
    group of rules previously identified by regulation numbers. Some 
    subchapters are further divided into parts. The numbers initially 
    assigned to subchapters and parts are all odd numbers to allow for 
    future expansions of the rules.
        Subchapters and parts are divided into groups of related sections. 
    A section may be further subdivided into subsections, paragraphs, 
    subparagraphs, units, and subunits.
    
    B. Administrative Wording Changes
    
        The regulations also underwent administrative wording changes 
    necessitated by the transfer of the
    
    [[Page 59631]]
    
    administration of the regulations to the newly created ODEQ and the 
    resultant transfer of the Oklahoma Air Pollution Control Regulations to 
    OAC:252:100 as well as style changes to be consistent with that 
    preferred by the State. For example, the term ``Executive Director'' 
    replaced the word ``Commissioner'' and the terms ``Chapter'' and 
    ``Subchapter'' replaced the word ``Regulation.'' Two tables in the 
    support document for this action show the administrative wording 
    changes versus the terms replaced.
    
    C. Changes to Definition Sections
    
        Subchapter 1, General Provisions, contains definitions for Chapter 
    100. Almost all definitions previously approved by EPA in other ODEQ 
    SIP-approved regulations are included in subchapter 1, section 1-3, 
    Definitions, as well as in the subchapter, part, or section they apply 
    to. Some individual terms and terms with more than one definition in 
    section 1-3 are restricted to specific subchapters, parts, or sections.
        All definitions in Chapter 100 have a standard introductory 
    paragraph which gives the part or section the definitions pertain to. 
    All defined terms are in double quotes followed by the word ``means'' 
    followed by the definition of the term. Terms within each definitions 
    section have been placed in alphabetical order. Definitions not 
    previously approved by EPA in the State General Definitions section 
    were approved into the SIP in the Regulations they apply to.
    
    D. Other Changes
    
        A Purpose section is the first section of each subchapter. Some 
    regulations in the earlier codifications did not have a Purpose 
    section.
        Most sections and subsections and some paragraphs and subparagraphs 
    formerly without titles have been given titles.
        Most of the tables in the old regulations are in appendices at the 
    end of Chapter 100. New sections in the subchapters reference the 
    tables in the appendices.
    
    VI. Final Action
    
        The EPA is approving ODEQ Air Pollution Control Rules (OAC:252:100) 
    adopted by the State on March 30, 1994, and submitted by the Governor 
    on May 16, 1994, except for subchapters 7, 8, 11, 21, 41, and appendix 
    D. The regulations being approved replace the current ODEQ regulations 
    in the Oklahoma SIP except for Regulation 1.4 (Air Resources Management 
    Permits Required) and Regulation 3.8 (Control of Emission of Hazardous 
    Air Contaminants). The changes are administrative in nature and do not 
    substantively revise the current SIP.
        The EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we 
    view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse 
    comments. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal 
    Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will 
    serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments 
    are received. This rule will be effective on January 3, 2000 without 
    further notice unless we receive adverse comment by December 3, 1999. 
    If EPA receives adverse comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal 
    in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not 
    take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent final 
    rule based on the proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment 
    period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
    at this time.
    
    VII. Administrative Requirements
    
    A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866
    
        The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
    regulatory action from E.O. 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and 
    Review.''
    
    B. Executive Order 12875
    
        Under E.O. 12875, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
    required by statute and that creates a mandate upon a State, local or 
    tribal government, unless the Federal government provides the funds 
    necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by those 
    governments, or EPA consults with those governments. If EPA complies by 
    consulting, E.O. 12875 requires EPA to provide to the OMB a description 
    of the extent of EPA's prior consultation with representatives of 
    affected State, local and tribal governments, the nature of their 
    concerns, copies of any written communications from the governments, 
    and a statement supporting the need to issue the regulation. In 
    addition, E.O. 12875 requires EPA to develop an effective process 
    permitting elected officials and other representatives of State, local 
    and tribal governments ``to provide meaningful and timely input in the 
    development of regulatory proposals containing significant unfunded 
    mandates.''
        Today's rule does not create a mandate on State, local, or tribal 
    governments. The rule does not impose any enforceable rules on any of 
    these entities. This action does not create any new requirements but 
    simply approves requirements that the State is already imposing. 
    Accordingly, the requirements of section 1(a) of E.O. 12875 do not 
    apply to this rule.
    
    C. Executive Order 13045
    
        Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection of Children from 
    Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 
    1997), applies to any rule that: (1) is determined to be ``economically 
    significant'' as defined under E.O. 12866, and (2) concerns an 
    environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may 
    have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action 
    meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health 
    or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the 
    planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and 
    reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
        The EPA interprets E.O. 13045 as applying only to those regulatory 
    actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that the 
    analysis required under section 5-501 of the Order has the potential to 
    influence the regulation. This final rule is not subject to E.O. 13045 
    because it approves a State program.
    
    D. Executive Order 13084
    
        Under E.O. 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
    required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the 
    communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial 
    direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal 
    government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance 
    costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA consults with those 
    governments. If EPA complies by consulting, E.O. 13084 requires EPA to 
    provide to the OMB, in a separately identified section of the preamble 
    to the rule, a description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation 
    with representatives of affected tribal governments, a summary of the 
    nature of their concerns, and a statement supporting the need to issue 
    the regulation. In addition, E.O. 13084 requires EPA to develop an 
    effective process permitting elected officials and other 
    representatives of Indian tribal governments ``to provide meaningful 
    and timely input in the development of regulatory policies on matters 
    that significantly or uniquely affect their communities.''
        Today's rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the 
    communities of Indian tribal governments. This action does not involve 
    or impose any requirements that affect Indian tribes. Accordingly, the 
    requirements of
    
    [[Page 59632]]
    
    section 3(b) of E.O. 13084 do not apply to this rule.
    
    E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., generally 
    requires an agency to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any 
    rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the 
    agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities 
    include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small 
    governmental jurisdictions. This final rule will not have a significant 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities because SIP approvals 
    under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the Federal Clear Air Act 
    (the Act) do not create any new requirements but simply approve 
    requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the 
    Federal SIP approval does not create any new requirements, I certify 
    that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a 
    substantial number of small entities. Moreover, due to the nature of 
    the Federal-State relationship under the Act, preparation of a 
    flexibility analysis would constitute Federal inquiry into the economic 
    reasonableness of state action. The Act forbids EPA to base its actions 
    concerning SIPs on such grounds. See Union Electric Co. v. U.S. EPA, 
    427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).
    
    F. Unfunded Mandates
    
        Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 
    signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must prepare a budgetary impact 
    statement to accompany any proposed or final rule that includes a 
    Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs to State, 
    local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to private sector, of 
    $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA must select the most cost-
    effective and least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives 
    of the rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 
    requires EPA to establish a plan for informing and advising any small 
    governments that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
        The EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does 
    not include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs 
    of $100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments 
    in the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action 
    approves pre-existing requirements under State or local law, and 
    imposes no new requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, 
    local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from 
    this action.
    
    G. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
    
        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 rule 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). This rule will be effective January 3, 2000.
    
    H. Petitions for Judicial Review
    
        Under section 307(b)(1) of the Act, petitions for judicial review 
    of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
    the appropriate circuit by January 3, 2000. 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).
