I. Proposed Action
On November 12, 2015 (80 FR 69915) (“proposed rule”), the EPA proposed to approve a SIP revision submitted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) on August 14, 2015 consisting of certain state regulations establishing standards and other requirements relating to the control of emissions from new on-road and new and in-use off-road vehicles and engines (referred to herein as “mobile source regulations”) for which the EPA has previously issued waivers or authorizations under section 209(b) and section 209(e)(2), respectively, of the Clean Air Act (Act or CAA).
Our proposed rule provides background information concerning the CAA, national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), SIPs, and other matters pertinent to this rulemaking. See 80 FR at pages 69916-69917. We noted in particular that a basic content requirement for SIPs is that they include enforceable emission limitations and other control measures, means, or techniques as may be necessary or appropriate to meet the applicable requirements of the CAA (see section 110(a)(2)(A)). We also noted that the EPA's long-standing practice was to allow California emissions reductions credit for mobile source regulations for which the EPA had issued waivers or authorizations under section 209 but that had not been submitted or approved as part of the SIP. We noted that the EPA's rationale for this long-standing practice was rejected by the Ninth Circuit in Committee for a Better Arvin v. EPA, 786 F.3d 1169 (9th Cir. 2015) (“Committee for a Better Arvin”), and that the decision in Committee for a Better Arvin led to the submittal by CARB of the mobile source regulations as a SIP revision on August 14, 2015.
In our proposed rule, we describe CARB's August 14, 2015 SIP revision as consisting of the regulations themselves and documentation of the public process conducted by CARB in approving the regulations as part of the California SIP. Specifically, the proposed rule includes table 1, which presents the contents of the SIP revision by mobile source category and provides, for each category, a listing of the relevant sections of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) that establish standards and other requirements for control of emissions from new on-road and new or in-use off-road vehicles or engines; the corresponding date of CARB's hearing or Executive Officer (EO) action through which the regulations or amendments were adopted; and the notice of decision in which the EPA granted a waiver or authorization for the given set of regulations. For this final rule, we are republishing table 1 from the proposed rule as amended in response to CARB comment #1 (see section II of this document).

We noted in our proposed rule that CARB has expressly excluded from the August 14, 2015 SIP submittal certain sections or subsections of California code that have been authorized or waived by the EPA under CAA section 209. The excluded provisions pertain to:
- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) exhaust emission standards 2009 through 2016 Model Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles, and 2017 and subsequent Model Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles; andStart Printed Page 39428
- GHG related provisions incorporated in the test procedures.
Also, CARB has expressly excluded certain sections or subsections of California code that are not subject to preemption under CAA section 209 and thus not included in the related waiver or authorization by the EPA. These provisions pertain to:
- Fuel use requirements;
- Idling restrictions on drivers;
- Opacity standards;
- Daily mass emission limits (from the PERP regulations); and
- Certain labeling and consumer notification requirements.
On pages 69923-69925 of our proposed rule, we described how we evaluated the regulations and how we determined that the regulations meet all applicable CAA requirements in order to be included in the California SIP. In short, we determined that:
- CARB provided adequate public notice of a comment period and a hearing on the draft SIP revision prior to adoption and submittal to the EPA, and thereby complied with the applicable procedural requirements for SIP revisions under the CAA section 110(l) and 40 CFR 51.102;
- CARB has adequate legal authority to implement the regulations because state law so provides, because the regulations are not preempted under the CAA (pursuant to waivers or authorizations issued for them by the EPA), and because CARB is not otherwise prohibited by any provision of federal or state law from carrying out the regulations;
- The regulations include all of the elements necessary to provide for practical enforceability, including clear applicability and exemption provisions, emissions standards and other requirements, test methods, recordkeeping and reporting provisions, and thereby establish enforceable emissions limitations as required under CAA section 110(a)(2)(A); [2]
- CARB's mobile source regulations submitted for approval as a revision to the California SIP establish emission limitations relied upon by RFP, attainment, and maintenance plans developed by California to meet CAA SIP requirements for nonattainment areas, and thus would not interfere with such CAA requirements for the purposes of CAA section 110(l); and
- Given the longstanding nature of CARB's mobile source program, and its documented effectiveness at achieving significant reductions from mobile sources, the state has adequate personnel and funding to carry out the mobile source regulations submitted for approval as part of the California SIP.
For more background information on the regulatory context for this final rule, and for additional detail on the SIP submittal itself, and our evaluation, please see our proposed rule.
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
The EPA's proposed rule, published at 80 FR 69915 (November 12, 2015), provided for a 30-day comment period. The EPA received two comment letters in response to the proposed rule: (1) A comment letter dated December 8, 2015 from CARB; and (2) a comment letter dated December 14, 2015 from the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. (OOIDA). In the paragraphs below, we summarize the comments and provide our responses.
CARB comment #1: CARB indicates that while the August 14, 2015 SIP revision submittal included two regulations affecting Mobile Cargo Handling Equipment at Ports and Intermodal Rail Yards (CHE Regulation), table 1 of the EPA's November 12, 2015 proposed rule only lists one such regulation. CARB notes that, while table 1 of the proposed rule only listed one CHE regulation, table 3 of the proposed rule lists both. CARB suggests that table 1 be amended to include both CHE regulations, consistent with CARB's August 14, 2015 SIP revision submittal.
EPA response to CARB comment #1: CARB is correct that the proposed action covers both CHE rules and that the EPA inadvertently failed to include one of the two CHE regulations in table 1 of the proposed rule. Table 1, as amended to list both CHE regulations, is included in the preamble to this final rule.
OOIDA comment #1: OOIDA contends that the EPA's proposed action to approve CARB's mobile source regulations as part of the California SIP is inconsistent with the Ninth Circuit's decision in Committee for a Better Arvin by failing to demonstrate how CARB has satisfied the requirement under the CAA that SIPs must include “enforceable emission limitations and other control measures . . . as may be necessary or appropriate to meet the applicable requirements of [the CAA].” Section 110(a)(2)(A). OOIDA asserts that the materials that CARB and the EPA are relying upon were previously submitted as part of CARB's waiver or authorization requests to the EPA, and thus are outdated. OOIDA notes that many of these regulations have been in effect under state law for years, and thus, to comply with Committee for a Better Arvin, the EPA must require CARB to submit current evidence showing how well these requirements have been adopted, whether the reductions in pollution have been met, what the experience of the regulated community has been, and whether CARB's cost estimates were accurate.
EPA response to OOIDA comment #1: We disagree that our action to approve California's mobile source regulations that have been waived or authorized by the EPA under CAA section 209 is inconsistent with the Ninth Circuit's decision in Committee for a Better Arvin or that the information sought by OOIDA is necessary to establish that the regulations are “necessary or appropriate” for the purposes of CAA section 110(a)(2)(A).
First, in Committee for a Better Arvin, the Ninth Circuit remanded to the EPA the Agency's final actions approving two specific regional plans that were adopted to meet nonattainment area SIP requirements and that rely, in part, on emissions reductions from so-called “waiver” measures, i.e., CARB mobile source regulations for which the EPA has issued waivers or authorizations under CAA section 209. In so doing, the court rejected the EPA's arguments supporting the Agency's longstanding practice of allowing California to rely on emissions reductions from state mobile source measures waived or authorized by the EPA under CAA section 209 to meet CAA SIP requirements without requiring approval of those measures into the California SIP. The Ninth Circuit found that CAA section 110(a)(2)(A) plainly mandates that the SIP include all state and local emission limitations, control measures, means, and techniques on which the state relies to assure compliance with the CAA. 786 F.3d 1169, at 1175-1178 (9th Cir. 2015). The Court found support for its view in the Act's provisions that allow the EPA or citizens to commence lawsuits to enforce emissions standards or limitations established under the Act. Id.
In response to the decision, CARB selected for the SIP those mobile source regulations that represent the most current set of such regulations that have been waived or authorized by the EPA under CAA section 209 and that are Start Printed Page 39429relied upon to provide emissions reductions in the most recently-approved or pending SIPs for the various nonattainment areas in California, such as the two regional plans that were the subject of the remand in Committee for a Better Arvin. The issue of whether the emissions reductions anticipated by CARB when adopting the regulations reasonably approximate those that have actually occurred is not relevant for the EPA's action on CARB's mobile source regulations SIP revision. The fact that California is relying on the emissions reductions from the mobile source regulations to meet any CAA requirements makes the regulations “necessary or appropriate” for inclusion in the SIP, regardless of whether the reductions are the same as those originally estimated by CARB at the time of submittal of the waiver or authorization request.
In response to CARB's SIP revision submittal, however, the EPA did not simply propose to approve the mobile source regulations without review and evaluation for compliance with relevant CAA requirements for such regulations. For example, the EPA reviewed the regulations to determine whether SIP procedural requirements under CAA section 110(a)(2) and related EPA regulations were met; to determine whether the regulations are enforceable and thereby comply with the applicable requirement in CAA section 110(a)(2)(A); to determine whether the state has provided necessary assurances that it has adequate personnel, funding, and authority to implement the regulations and thereby comply with the applicable requirements in CAA section 110(a)(2)(E); and to determine whether the SIP revision would interfere with attainment or reasonable further progress or any other CAA requirement as required under CAA section 110(l). See our proposed rule, 80 FR at 69923-69925. For the reasons stated in the proposed rule, we concluded that CARB's mobile source regulation SIP revision met all of the relevant CAA requirements and would not interfere with attainment or reasonable further progress or any other CAA requirement.
One consideration that the EPA did not take into account was the cost of compliance by manufacturers or owners/operators subject to CARB's mobile source regulations. Such cost issues standing alone, which OOIDA believes CARB must submit and that the EPA must consider, are not relevant to the EPA's review of SIPs and SIP revisions under CAA section 110. This has been settled law since 1976 when the Supreme Court issued its decision in Union Electric Co. v. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, at 255-266 (1976) (“Union Electric”), rehearing denied 429 U.S. 873 (1976). In Union Electric, the Supreme Court found that the 1970 version of section 110(a)(2) did not allow the EPA to disapprove an attainment sulfur dioxide (SO2) SIP on the ground that the SIP's control measures for complying with the SO2 NAAQS would be so stringent as to be technologically or economically infeasible. Id. at 265. The Supreme Court made it clear that Congress left states free to choose technology-forcing measures to achieve attainment within what was then a three-year deadline. Id. at 268-269. While the CAA has been amended a number of times since 1970, the basic allocation of responsibilities on the states in developing and submitting SIPs and on the EPA in reviewing SIPs and SIP revisions remains the same today, and thus the holding of Union Electric continues to inform the EPA's review of SIPs and SIP revisions today.
OOIDA comment #2: Citing CAA section 307(b)(1), OOIDA asserts that the EPA must specify whether any SIP approval has nationwide scope or effect. OOIDA further declares that if the EPA fails to make such an express determination, then OOIDA will advise its members residing outside of California that they do not need to comply with any of the California laws, statutes or regulations included in the SIP. If, on the other hand, the EPA finds that the SIP does have “nationwide scope and effect,” then OOIDA claims that CARB is required under CAA section 110(a)(2)(E) to satisfy the EPA that the imposition of California's regulatory regime on interstate truckers residing outside of California is consistent with the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Without such a demonstration from CARB, and a finding of nationwide scope or effect by the EPA, OOIDA objects to the EPA's proposed approval of CARB's mobile source regulations as part of the California SIP.
EPA response to OOIDA comment #2: CAA section 307(b)(1) provides that a petition for review of the EPA in promulgating certain specific types of standards, such as the NAAQS, “or any other nationally applicable regulations promulgated, or final action taken, by the [EPA] under the [CAA] may be filed only in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.” A petition for review of the EPA's action in approving a SIP under CAA section 110 that is locally or regionally applicable may be filed only in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit unless such SIP action is based on a determination of “nationwide scope or effect” and if in taking such action the EPA finds and publishes that such action is based on such a determination. In that case, CAA section 307(b)(1) provides for review of the EPA's SIP action in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Thus, section 307(b)(1) not only confers jurisdiction upon the U.S. Courts of Appeals but also specifies how the venue for petitions for review of actions covered by section 307(b)(1) is determined. Dalton Trucking Inc. v. EPA, No. 13-1283, slip op. at 7-8 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 18, 2015).
When the EPA issues a final decision waiving or authorizing CARB mobile source regulations under CAA section 209 of the CAA, the proper venue for judicial review of that decision is the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit if either the decision is “nationally applicable” or the EPA determines the decision is of “nationwide scope or effect” and publishes the determination. Section 307(b)(1). In making a determination of nationwide scope or effect for a waiver or authorization under section 209, the EPA takes into account that other states may adopt California's standards for which a section 209 waiver or authorization has been granted if certain criteria are met. Sections 177 and 209(e)(2)(B) allow other states to adopt (and subsequently enforce in their state) California's regulations for which the EPA has issued waivers or authorizations. The EPA may also consider the applicability of such regulations to manufacturers or owner/operators residing outside of California but selling, leasing, or operating vehicles or equipment in California.[3]
In this case, the EPA is taking action under section 110 of the CAA to approve CARB's mobile source regulations as part of the California SIP. Unlike the Agency's issuance of a waiver or authorization under section 209, approval of CARB's mobile source regulations under section 110 does not enable other states to adopt the regulations. The EPA's approval of the regulations under section 110 does extend federal enforceability to the standards. See CAA sections 113 (EPA enforcement authority) and 304 (citizen suits). However, that is true of all SIP approval actions under section 110, and Start Printed Page 39430thus, like other SIP approval actions, we find that our final action herein is not nationally applicable, nor is it of nationwide scope or effect. Petitions for review of this final action therefore must be filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit, i.e., in this case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Lastly, because the EPA finds that the Agency's final action herein is not of “nationwide scope or effect,” no further response to OOIDA's comment is necessary.
OOIDA comment #3: OOIDA notes that, in addition to being an affirmative grant of congressional authority, the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which authorizes Congress “[t]o regulate Commerce . . . among the several states,” is in its negative aspect also a limitation on the regulatory authority of the states. OOIDA contends that, in its negative aspect, the Commerce Clause protects the nation against economic Balkanization and state regulations affecting interstate commerce where the burden on commerce is excessive in relation to the putative local benefits. For example, OOIDA cites high aggregate costs purportedly incurred to comply with two specific CARB regulations, the Heavy-Duty (Truck) Greenhouse Gas (HD GHG) Regulations and the In-Use On-Road Heavy-Duty Diesel-Fueled Vehicles Regulation (“Truck and Bus Regulation”). OOIDA argues that the EPA should expressly consider and make findings whether the aggregate impact of regulations which California has sought to “federalize” through SIP approvals violate these Constitutional principles.
EPA response to OOIDA comment #3: First of all, we note that today's action does not include CARB's HD GHG Regulations or the Truck and Bus Regulation. The former was not included in the SIP revision submittal and has never been submitted as part of the California SIP, and the latter was submitted and approved by the EPA as a SIP revision in 2012 at 77 FR 20308 (April 4, 2012).
As to the Commerce Clause comment more generally, the negative aspect of the Commerce Clause to which OOIDA refers is often referred to as the “dormant” Commerce Clause. OOIDA notes some of the basic principles under which courts have found state regulations to be invalid under the dormant Commerce Clause.[4] OOIDA asks the EPA to expressly consider and make findings whether the aggregate impact of regulations that California has sought to “federalize” through SIP approvals violate dormant Commerce Clause principles.
Under the CAA, the EPA's responsibility in reviewing SIPs and SIP revisions is to ensure that all CAA requirements that apply to a given SIP or SIP revision are met, and if a given SIP or SIP revision meets minimum applicable CAA requirements, then the EPA “shall” approve it. See CAA section 110(k)(3). Among the CAA requirements that apply to SIPs or SIP revisions is section 110(a)(2)(E), which provides in relevant part that SIPs and SIP revisions must provide necessary assurances that the state will have adequate authority under state law to carry out such SIP and is not prohibited by any provision of federal or state law from carrying out such SIP. In this instance, the EPA has issued waivers or authorization under section 209 for all of the subject regulations (and in doing so has removed the federal Clean Air Act preemption), and the EPA has found CARB to have the necessary legal authority to enforce the standards under state law. Furthermore, none of the subject regulations has been found by any court to be preempted under the dormant Commerce Clause or any other federal law, and thus, CARB is not prohibited from carrying out such SIP.
Moreover, in this instance, the “dormant” Commerce Clause is no obstacle to the EPA's approval of CARB's mobile source regulations SIP revision. As a general matter, the “dormant” Commerce Clause acts to limit certain types of state regulation that affect interstate commerce, but does not limit actions by federal agencies, such as the EPA. Additionally, “dormant” Commerce Clause principles simply do not apply where Congress has so clearly established a process under which the EPA must waive preemption if certain conditions are met. Here, the regulations submitted as part of CARB's SIP revision fall within the scope of CAA section 209, the Congressional provision under which the explicit general preemption of state mobile source regulations may be waived for California. Congress can authorize state or local government action that otherwise would violate the “dormant” Commerce Clause, even if the action ultimately interferes with interstate commerce. See White v. Massachusetts Council of Constr. Employers, Inc., 460 U.S. 204, 213 (1983). Both the legislative history of CAA section 209 and the text of the statute itself show that Congress affirmatively contemplated the type of regulations at issue here, even assuming those regulations might otherwise be considered to interfere with interstate commerce. See Motor & Equip. Mfrs. Ass'n v. EPA, 627 F.2d 1095 (D.C. Cir. 1979) (“MEMA I”). The EPA has consistently interpreted these provisions as providing a narrow review of California's decision making. These views are consistent with the views we expressed in more detail in our recent brief in Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. v. EPA, D.C. Cir., Case No. 14-1192 (“OOIDA v. EPA”), which has been placed in the docket for this rulemaking. While the specific California regulations at issue in OOIDA v. EPA are not included in the SIP revision approved in today's action, we believe that the views expressed in our brief in that case on the Commerce Clause apply more generally to EPA actions and to California regulations (including those approved herein) for which the EPA has issued waivers or authorizations and thus we are adopting the reasoning set forth therein in support of today's action.
Lastly, Congress allows for cost considerations in reviewing requests for waivers of preemption under section 209 of the Act. The third prong of EPA's consideration (section 209(b)(1)(C) for on-road waivers and section 209(e)(2)(A)(iii) for off-road authorizations) includes an assessment of whether CARB's regulations are technologically infeasible. Such assessment includes a review of whether those opposing the waiver have demonstrated that there is inadequate lead time to permit the development of technology necessary to meet the Start Printed Page 39431regulations at issue, giving appropriate consideration to the cost of compliance within that time frame.[5] Each of the regulations approved in today's actions were the subject of a waiver or authorization by the EPA under section 209, and thus, cost compliance issues have already been considered by the Agency in that context. The EPA does not intend to reopen those issues through today's action under CAA section 110 on CARB's SIP revision.
OOIDA Comment #4: OOIDA believes that the costs to comply with CARB's On-Road Heavy-Duty Vehicle—Engine or Vehicle Idle Controls (“Anti-Idling”) Regulations disproportionately burden motor carriers and drivers from outside of the State of California because local California truck owners who go home at night on a regular basis are not pressured to purchase an Alternative Power Source (APS) to condition the truck cab for the comfort of the driver for those times when the idling shutdown system activates in uncomfortably hot or cold weather. On the benefit side, OOIDA contends that CARB did not quantify the environmental benefits that will be derived from the Anti-Idling Regulations in either the SIP revision or the waiver request to the EPA for the rules back in 2008. OOIDA believes that the burden of these regulations upon out-of-state trucks far exceeds the air pollution benefits, but in any event, now that the regulations have been in effect for several years, OOIDA states that the EPA should not approve the Anti-Idling Regulations as part of the SIP until CARB presents, and the EPA considers, up-to-date information concerning costs and benefits.
EPA response to OOIDA comment #4: CARB included the Anti-Idling Regulations in the package of mobile source regulations submitted as part of the California SIP because recent and pending regional air quality plans depend upon the emissions reductions from implementation of the regulations. At the time the regulations were adopted, CARB estimated statewide benefits from reducing idling of sleeper berth equipped trucks at 46 tons per day of oxides of nitrogen, 4.2 tons per day of reactive organic gases, and 0.4 tons per day of particulate matter in year 2010.[6]
As noted previously, the CAA requires the EPA to approve SIPs and SIP revisions that meet the applicable requirements of the CAA. One of those requirements involves a determination that the state has provided necessary assurances that the state is not prohibited by any provision of federal or state law from carrying out the SIP (see CAA section 110(a)(2)(E)), and in this case, no court has found the Anti-Idling Regulations to be in violation of the Commerce Clause or any other provision of federal law.
Also, as noted above in our responses to OOIDA comment #1, under Union Electric, compliance cost issues standing alone are not relevant to the EPA's review of SIPs and SIP revisions under CAA section 110, and as noted in response to OOIDA comment #3, the Commerce Clause acts to limit certain types of state regulation that affect interstate commerce, but does not limit actions by federal agencies, such as the EPA. As also previously explained, the “dormant” Commerce Clause principles do not apply where Congress has established a process under which the EPA must waive preemption if certain conditions are met. The EPA's views expressed herein concerning the reach of the “dormant” Commerce Clause and the viability of challenges under the Commerce Clause to California regulations for which waivers or authorizations have been issued are consistent with our recent brief in Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. v. EPA, D.C. Cir., Case No. 14-1192, which has been placed in the docket for this rulemaking.
OOIDA comment #5: OOIDA cites CARB's In-Use Diesel-Fueled Transport Refrigeration Units (TRUs) Regulation as another example of what it contends is a state regulation whose costs on interstate commerce far exceed any benefit yet demonstrated by CARB. OOIDA further contends that the EPA does not have the authority to approve a rule with what it views as an unconstitutional impact on interstate commerce.
EPA response to OOIDA comment #5: As previously explained, the Commerce Clause acts to limit certain types of state regulation that affect interstate commerce, but does not limit actions by federal agencies, such as the EPA. As also previously explained, the “dormant” Commerce Clause principles do not apply where Congress has established a process under which the EPA must waive preemption if certain conditions are met. On the other hand, the EPA recognizes that it must review SIPs and SIP revisions for compliance with CAA section 110(a)(2)(E), which provides in relevant part that the state must provide necessary assurances that, among other things, the state is not prohibited by any provision of federal or state law from carrying out the SIP. In this instance, no court has found CARB's TRUs Regulation to be in violation of the Commerce Clause or any other provision of federal law.
As noted above in the EPA response to OOIDA comment #3, the EPA has considered in detail the issue of the relevance of the “dormant” Commerce Clause to CARB's regulations that are subject to waivers or authorizations under section 209 in a recent brief filed in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. v. EPA, D.C. Cir., Case No. 14-1192, which is in the docket for this rulemaking.
III. Final Action
Under section 110(k)(3) of the CAA, and for the reasons given above, we are taking final action to approve a SIP revision submitted by CARB on August 14, 2015 that includes certain sections of title 13 and title 17 of the California Code of Regulations that establish standards and other requirements relating to the control of emissions from new on-road and new and in-use off-road vehicles and engines. Tables 1 and 2 above list the regulations and related test procedures and other specifications we are approving in this action.[7] We are approving the SIP revision because the regulations (and related test procedures and other specifications) included therein fulfill all relevant CAA requirements. This final action incorporates by reference the regulations into the federally enforceable SIP for the State of California.
Start Printed Page 39432IV. 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, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of certain sections of title 13 and title 17 of the California Code of Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the State implementation plan, 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 EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference by the Director of the Federal Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.[8] The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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 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:
- Is not a “significant regulatory action” subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
- 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 application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 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).
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, this action does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
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 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 August 15, 2016. 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)).

1. There is one exception to the EPA's approval of the regulations and test procedures listed in tables 1 and 2. The exception is 13 CCR section 2449.2(f)(4), a provision for which the EPA is deferring final action at this time.
Back to Citation2. After proposing action on CARB's mobile source regulations, we discovered a specific provision in the “Surplus Off-Road Opt-In for NOX (SOON) Program” portion of CARB's Regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets that cannot be reconciled with the principle that SIP rules relied upon for emissions reductions must be federally enforceable. The specific provision is 13 CCR section 2449.2(f)(4) (“ARB Authority”), which states, in pertinent part: “ARB has sole authority to enforce the requirements of section 2449.2.” We find 13 CCR section 2449.2(f)(4) to be severable from the rest of the regulation and have not included it in today's approval action.
Back to Citation3. The D.C. Circuit recently concluded that a decision under section 209 is not “nationally applicable” under section 307(b) if it applies only to vehicles owned or operated in California, even if those vehicles are based outside California. Dalton Trucking Inc. v. EPA, No. 13-1283, slip op. at 10 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 18, 2015). However, a decision that is not applicable outside California can still have effect outside California.
Back to Citation4. OOIDA cites the court's reasoning in Union Pac. R.R. v. Cal. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 346 F.3d 851, 871 (9th Cir. 2003) in support of its arguments challenging California's mobile source regulations on the grounds of extra-territorial impact. In Union Pac. R.R., the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down certain California regulations having an extraterritorial impact; however, in more recent years, the Ninth Circuit appears to have modified its views on the extra-territoriality doctrine. In Rocky Mountain Farmers Union v. Corey, 730 F.3d 1070, 1101 (9th Cir. 2013), a case challenging California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, the Ninth Circuit noted: “In the modern era, the Supreme Court has rarely held that statutes violate the extraterritoriality doctrine[.]”, and concluded: “The district court held that the Fuel Standard regulated extraterritorial conduct because: (1) . . . it `attempts to control' out-of-state conduct, . . . We disagree.” Id. We also note that, while Rocky Mountain Farmers Union stands for the proposition that CAA section 211(c)(4)(B) “does not insulate California from scrutiny under the dormant Commerce Clause,” Id., at 1107, CAA section 211(c)(4) does not establish for motor vehicle fuels the type of specific process under which California rules shall be waived or authorized by the EPA as that found for mobile source emissions standards in CAA sections 209(b) and (e). See additional discussion regarding the dormant Commerce Clause and California regulations waived or authorized under CAA sections 209(b) and (e) later in the response to OOIDA comment #3.
Back to Citation5. See 79 FR 46256, 46262-46264. In MEMA I, the court addressed the cost of compliance issue in reviewing a waiver decision. According to the court: Section 202's cost of compliance concern, juxtaposed as it is with the requirement that the Administrator provide the requisite lead time to allow technological developments, refers to the economic costs of motor vehicle emission standards and accompanying enforcement procedures. See S. Rep. No. 192, 89th Cong., 1st Sess. 5-8 (1965); H.R. Rep. No. 728 90th Cong., 1st Sess. 23 (1967), reprinted in U.S. Code Cong. & Admin. News 1967, p. 1938. It relates to the timing of a particular emission control regulation rather than to its social implications. Congress wanted to avoid undue economic disruption in the automotive manufacturing industry and also sought to avoid doubling or tripling the cost of motor vehicles to purchasers. It, therefore, requires that the emission control regulations be technologically feasible within economic parameters. Therein lies the intent of the cost of compliance requirement (emphasis added).

Back to Citation7. As discussed above in footnotes #1 and #2, we are deferring action on 13 CCR section 2449.2(f)(4).
