    SUMMARY: EPA approves the State implementation plan (SIP) revisions 
    submitted by the State of North Dakota with a letter dated December 21, 
    1994. The submittal addressed revisions to SIP Chapter 2, regarding 
    delegatable authorities and asbestos law revisions, and revisions to 
    air pollution control rules, regarding general provisions; ambient air 
    quality standards; new source performance standards (NSPS); and 
    national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs). The 
    submittal also addressed the following issues which were reviewed 
    separately: Revisions to the Title V permit to operate program; 
    revisions to the Acid Rain program; and emission standards for 
    hazardous air pollutants for source categories (MACT standards).
        In addition, EPA is providing notice that it granted delegation of 
    authority to Colorado on February 15, 1996 to implement and enforce 
    several NSPS adopted by the State.
    DATES: This final rule is effective on December 9, 1996 unless comments 
    are received in writing on or before November 7, 1996. If the effective 
    date is delayed, timely notice will be published in the Federal 
    Register. The Delegation of Authority for the State of Colorado became 
    effective on February 15, 1996.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    I. Analysis of North Dakota's Submission
    
        The State submitted various revisions to its air pollution control 
    rules with a letter to EPA dated December 21, 1994. These revisions 
    were necessary to make the rules consistent with Federal requirements.
    
    A. Procedural Background
    
        The Act requires States to observe certain procedural requirements 
    in developing implementation plans and plan revisions for submission to 
    EPA. Section 110(a)(2) of the Act provides that each implementation 
    plan submitted by a State must be adopted after reasonable notice and 
    public hearing. Section 110(l) of the Act similarly provides that each 
    revision to an implementation plan submitted by a State under the Act 
    must be adopted by such State after reasonable notice and public 
    hearing.
        EPA also must determine whether a submittal is complete and 
    therefore warrants further EPA review and action [see section 110(k)(1) 
    and 57 FR 13565]. EPA's completeness criteria for SIP submittals are 
    set out at 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. EPA attempts to make 
    completeness determinations within 60 days of receiving a submission. 
    However, a submittal is deemed complete by operation of law if a 
    completeness determination is not made by EPA six months after receipt 
    of the submission.
        To entertain public comment, the State of North Dakota, after 
    providing adequate notice, held public hearings on May 24, and May 25, 
    1994 to address the respective revisions to the SIP and Air Pollution 
    Control Rules. Following the public hearings, the North Dakota State 
    Health Council adopted the respective rule revisions.
        The Governor of North Dakota submitted revisions to the SIP with a 
    letter dated December 21, 1994. The SIP revisions were reviewed by EPA 
    to determine completeness in accordance with the completeness criteria 
    set out at 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. The submittal was found to be 
    complete and a letter dated February 13, 1995 was forwarded to the 
    Governor indicating the completeness of the submittal and the next 
    steps to be taken in the review process.
    
    B. December 21, 1994 Revisions
    
        The December 21, 1994 submittal addressed revisions to Chapter 2 of 
    the SIP, regarding delegatable authorities and asbestos law revisions, 
    and the following chapters of the North Dakota Air Pollution Control 
    Rules: 33-15-01 General Provisions; 33-15-02 Ambient Air Quality 
    Standards; 33-15-12 Standards of Performance for New Stationary 
    Sources; and 33-15-13 Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants.
        The December 21, 1994 submittal also addressed North Dakota Air 
    Pollution Control Rules involving the Title V permit to operate 
    program, the Acid Rain program, and emission standards for hazardous 
    air pollutants for source categories (MACT standards). However, in a 
    February 2, 1995 letter from Dana Mount, North Dakota Division of 
    Environmental Engineering, to Douglas Skie, EPA, the State indicated 
    that these programs were not intended to be reviewed through the SIP 
    process. Accordingly, EPA reviewed these revisions separately from the 
    rule revisions being considered in this document.
    1. Asbestos Law Revisions
        The 1993 North Dakota State Legislature made several revisions to 
    the North Dakota Century Code provisions pertaining to asbestos 
    regulation. These revisions were made to update the law to be 
    consistent with the Federal Clean Air Act. Clarifications were made to 
    the definition of ``asbestos worker'' and to the asbestos worker 
    licensing and certification requirements. In addition, a new subsection 
    was added to address requirements that the Department provide any 
    procedural rules necessary to develop, implement, and enforce air 
    pollution control programs, the authority and responsibility for which 
    have been delegated to the State by EPA. These revisions are consistent 
    with Federal requirements and, therefore, are approvable.
    2. North Dakota Air Pollution Control Rules, Chapter 33-15-01 General 
    Provisions
        Revisions were made to section 33-15-01-17, Enforcement, and a new 
    section 33-15-01-18, Compliance Certifications, was added. The change 
    to section 33-15-01-17 allows the North Dakota State Department of 
    Health and Consolidated Laboratories (``the Department'') to use 
    monitoring data as credible evidence that noncompliance of a source 
    exits. Section 33-15-01-18 allows the source to use monitoring data to 
    certify that the source is in compliance with the applicable emission 
    limits. These revisions are consistent with Federal requirements and, 
    therefore, are approvable.
    
    [[Page 52866]]
    
        These revisions also address EPA's nationwide SIP call regarding 
    the new enhanced monitoring and compliance certification requirements 
    of the amended Act. On October 22, 1993, EPA announced in the Federal 
    Register that SIP calls pursuant to section 110(k)(5) of the Act would 
    be issued in order to implement the enhanced monitoring requirements of 
    section 114(a)(3) of the Act and the periodic monitoring requirements 
    for operating permits under sections 502(b)(2) and 504 of the Act (see 
    58 FR 54677). This SIP call was required because existing SIPs could 
    have been interpreted to limit the types of testing or monitoring data 
    to be used for determining compliance and establishing violations.
        EPA believes that the State has adequately satisfied the 
    requirements of the SIP call. The revision to section 33-15-01-17 
    provides that information from monitoring methods approved in a 
    federally enforceable operating permit or in the SIP, as well as from 
    any other federally enforceable monitoring and testing methods 
    (including those in 40 CFR Parts 50, 51, 60, 61, and 75), may be used 
    by the State as credible evidence to determine compliance. By allowing 
    compliance certifications to be made with approved enhanced monitoring 
    protocols or other approved monitoring methods, the new section 33-15-
    01-18 has the practical effect of making the SIP more flexible and 
    inclusive since it does not preclude the use of enhanced monitoring. 
    Therefore, EPA is approving these revisions to Chapter 33-15-01 
    regarding enhanced monitoring and compliance certifications.
    3. Chapter 33-15-02 Ambient Air Quality Standards
        Revisions to this chapter consist of deleting the one-hour ambient 
    air quality standard for nitrogen dioxide. The State received a request 
    for this revision from the North Dakota Lignite Council. The State 
    indicated that the standard was originally written in terms that 
    allowed exceedances one percent of the time in any three-month period, 
    which proved to be a very cumbersome standard to track and required 
    extensive time by staff to perform dispersion modelling to ensure 
    compliance. The State opted to delete the one-hour standard and retain 
    the Federal annual standard of 100 g/m3, in response to 
    the need to develop a more manageable standard, the request by industry 
    that the one-hour standard be deleted, and EPA's 1993 findings that no 
    changes in the Federal standard were contemplated. This revision is 
    consistent with Federal requirements and, therefore, is approvable.
    4. Chapter 33-15-12, Standards of Performance for New Stationary 
    Sources; Chapter 33-15-13, Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
    Pollutants
        The revisions to Chapters 33-15-12 and 33-15-13 incorporate by 
    reference the Federal NSPS in 40 CFR part 60 and the Federal NESHAPs in 
    40 CFR part 61, as in effect on May 1, 1994, with the exception of 40 
    CFR part 61, subparts B, H, I, K, Q, R, T, and W (i.e., radionuclides). 
    The revisions to Chapter 33-15-12 include the addition, by reference, 
    of Subpart RRR--Standards of Performance for Volatile Organic Compound 
    Emissions by Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) 
    Reactor Processes. EPA reviewed the State's revised NSPS and NESHAPs 
    regulations and determined that they are consistent with the Federal 
    regulations and, therefore, are approvable.
    
    II. Notice of Delegation of Authority to Colorado
    
        On November 17, 1995, the State of Colorado submitted revisions to 
    its NSPS regulations in Part A of Colorado Regulation No. 6. The 
    submittal included the addition of the Federal NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, 
    subparts Dc, Ea, Kb, AAa, BBB, DDD, NNN, QQQ, RRR, SSS, TTT, UUU, and 
    VVV. Pursuant to such submittal, on February 15, 1996, delegation was 
    given with the following letter:
    Honorable Roy Romer, Governor of Colorado, 136 State Capitol, 
    Denver, Colorado 80203-1792.
    
    Dear Governor Romer: On November 17, 1995, you requested delegation 
    of authority for revisions to the New Source Performance Standards 
    (NSPS) in Part A of Colorado's Regulation No. 6. These revisions 
    brought the State's NSPS up to date with the Federal NSPS in effect 
    as of October 11, 1994, with the exception of Subparts AAA (new 
    residential wood heaters) and III (volatile organic compound 
    emissions from the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry 
    air oxidation unit processes) which the State has not adopted.
        Subsequent to states adopting NSPS regulations, the EPA 
    delegates the authority for the implementation and enforcement of 
    those NSPS, so long as the State's regulations are equivalent to the 
    Federal regulations. EPA, therefore, is acting on the delegation of 
    authority to Colorado for implementation and enforcement of thirteen 
    NSPS.
        EPA has reviewed the pertinent statutes and regulations of the 
    State of Colorado and has determined that they provide an adequate 
    and effective procedure for the implementation and enforcement of 
    the NSPS, including the source applicability dates, by the State of 
    Colorado. Therefore, pursuant to Section 111(c) of the Clean Air Act 
    (Act), as amended, and 40 CFR Part 60, EPA hereby delegates its 
    authority for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS to the 
    State of Colorado as follows:
        (A) Responsibility for all sources located, or to be located, in 
    the State of Colorado 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 as follows: 
    small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units 
    (Subpart Dc), municipal waste combustors (Subpart Ea), volatile 
    organic liquid storage vessels (including petroleum liquid storage 
    vessels) for which construction, reconstruction, or modification 
    commenced after July 23, 1984 (Subpart Kb), steel plants: electric 
    arc furnaces and argon-oxygen decarburization vessels constructed 
    after August 7, 1983 (Subpart AAa), rubber tire manufacturing 
    industry (Subpart BBB), volatile organic compound emissions from the 
    polymer manufacturing industry (Subpart DDD), volatile organic 
    compound emissions from synthetic organic chemical manufacturing 
    industry distillation operations (Subpart NNN), volatile organic 
    compound emissions from petroleum refinery wastewater systems 
    (Subpart QQQ), volatile organic compound emissions from synthetic 
    organic chemical manufacturing industry reactor processes (Subpart 
    RRR), magnetic tape coating facilities (Subpart SSS), industrial 
    surface coating: surface coating of plastic parts for business 
    machines (Subpart TTT), calciners and dryers in mineral industries 
    (Subpart UUU), and polymeric coating of supporting substrates 
    facilities (Subpart VVV).
        (B) Not all authorities of NSPS can be delegated to states under 
    Section 111(c) of the Act, as amended. The EPA Administrator retains 
    authority to implement those sections of the NSPS that require: (1) 
    approving equivalency determinations and alternative test methods, 
    (2) decision making to ensure national consistency, and (3) EPA 
    rulemaking to implement. Therefore, of the NSPS of 40 CFR Part 60 
    being delegated in this letter, the following sections are not 
    delegated to the State of Colorado:
        (i) 40 CFR 60.48c(a)(4), pertaining to small industrial-
    commercial-institutional steam generating units (Subpart Dc);
        (ii) 40 CFR 60.111b(f)(4), 60.114b, 60.116b(e)(3)(iii), 
    60.116b(e)(3)(iv), and 60.116b(f)(2)(iii), pertaining to volatile 
    organic liquid storage vessels (including petroleum liquid storage 
    vessels) for which construction, reconstruction, or modification 
    commenced after July 23, 1984, (Subpart Kb);
        (iii) 40 CFR 60.543(c)(2)(ii)(B), pertaining to the rubber tire 
    manufacturing industry (Subpart BBB);
        (iv) 40 CFR 60.562-2(c), pertaining to volatile organic compound 
    emissions from the polymer manufacturing industry (Subpart DDD);
        (v) 40 CFR 60.663(e), pertaining to volatile organic compound 
    emissions from synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry 
    distillation operations (Subpart NNN);
        (vi) 40 CFR 60.694, pertaining to volatile organic compound 
    emissions from petroleum refinery wastewater systems (Subpart QQQ);
        (vii) 40 CFR 60.703(e), pertaining to volatile organic compound 
    emissions from
    
    [[Page 52867]]
    
    synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry reactor processes 
    (Subpart RRR);
        (viii) 40 CFR 60.711(a)(16), 60.713(b)(1)(i), 60.713(b)(1)(ii), 
    60.713(b)(5)(i), 60.713(d), 60.715(a), and 60.716, pertaining to 
    magnetic tape coating facilities (Subpart SSS);
        (ix) 40 CFR 60.723(b)(1), 60.723(b)(2)(i)(C), 60.723(b)(2)(iv), 
    60.724(e), and 60.725(b), pertaining to industrial surface coating 
    of plastic parts for business machines (Subpart TTT); and
        (x) 40 CFR 60.743(a)(3)(v) (A) and (B), 60.743(e), 60.745(a), 
    and 60.746, pertaining to polymeric coating of supporting substrates 
    facilities (Subpart VVV).
        (C) As 40 CFR Part 60 is updated, Colorado should revise its 
    regulations accordingly and in a timely manner.
        This delegation is based upon and is a continuation of the same 
    conditions as those stated in EPA's original delegation letter of 
    August 27, 1975, except that condition 3, relating to Federal 
    facilities, has been voided by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977. 
    It is also important to note that EPA retains concurrent enforcement 
    authority as stated in condition 2. In addition, if at any time 
    there is a conflict between a State and Federal NSPS regulation, the 
    Federal regulation must be applied if it is more stringent than that 
    of the State, as stated in condition 10. A copy of this letter was 
    published in the notices section of the Federal Register on October 
    31, 1975 (40 FR 50748), along with an associated rulemaking 
    notifying the public that certain reports and applications required 
    from operators of new or modified sources shall be submitted to the 
    State of Colorado (40 FR 50718). Copies of the Federal Register are 
    enclosed for your convenience.
        Since this delegation is effective immediately, there is no need 
    for the State to notify the EPA of its acceptance. Unless we receive 
    written notice of objections from you within ten days of the date on 
    which you receive this letter, the State of Colorado will be deemed 
    to have accepted all the terms of this delegation. An information 
    notice will be published in the Federal Register in the near future 
    informing the public of this delegation, in which this letter will 
    appear in its entirety.
        If you have any questions on this matter, please call me, or 
    have your staff contact Richard Long, Director of our Air Program, 
    at 312-6005.
          Sincerely,
    Patricia Hull,
    Acting Regional Administrator.
    
    III. Final Action
    
        EPA is approving North Dakota's SIP revision, as submitted by the 
    Governor with a letter December 21, 1994. This submittal addressed 
    revisions to SIP Chapter 2, regarding Delegatable Authorities and 
    Asbestos Law Revisions, and revisions to the following North Dakota Air 
    Pollution Control Rules: 33-15-01 General Provisions; 33-15-02 Ambient 
    Air Quality Standards; 33-15-12 Standards of Performance for New 
    Stationary Sources; and 33-15-13 Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
    Pollutants. This approval provides the State with the authority for 
    implementation and enforcement of all Federal NSPS and NESHAPs (except 
    40 CFR part 61, subparts B, H, I, K, Q, R, T, and W, pertaining to 
    radionuclides) promulgated as of May 1, 1994. However, the State's NSPS 
    and NESHAP authorities do not include those authorities which cannot be 
    delegated to the states, as defined in 40 CFR parts 60 and 61. The 
    update of the 40 CFR part 60 table of NSPS delegations reflects these 
    December 1994 North Dakota revisions as well as North Dakota revisions 
    to the NSPS delegations that were approved in the Federal Register on 
    August 21, 1995 (60 FR 43396) and South Dakota revisions to the NSPS 
    delegations that were approved in the Federal Register on September 6, 
    1995 (60 FR 46225).
        The December 21, 1994 submittal also included revisions to chapters 
    33-15-14, 33-15-21, 33-15-22, regarding the Title V permit to operate 
    program, Acid Rain program, and MACT standards. These issues were 
    reviewed separately from this document.
        EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because the 
    Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no 
    adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal 
    Register publication, EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision 
    should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be 
    effective December 9, 1996 unless, by November 7, 1996, adverse or 
    critical comments are received.
        If EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn before 
    the effective date by publishing a subsequent notice that will withdraw 
    the final action. All public comments received will be addressed in a 
    subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a proposed rule. 
    EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
    parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
    time. If no such comments are received, the public is advised that this 
    action will be effective on December 9, 1996.
        Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or 
    allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for 
    revision to any SIP. Each request for revision to a SIP shall be 
    considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and 
    environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and 
    regulatory requirements.
    
    IV. Administrative Requirements
    
    A. Executive Order 12866
    
        This action has been classified as a Table 3 action for signature 
    by the Regional Administrator under the procedures published in the 
    Federal Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR 2214-2225), as revised by a 
    July 10, 1995 memorandum from Mary Nichols, Assistant Administrator for 
    Air and Radiation. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
    exempted this regulatory action from E.O. 12866 review.
    
    B. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600, et seq., EPA 
    must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of 
    any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604. 
    Alternatively, EPA may certify 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 government entities with jurisdiction over populations 
    of less than 50,000.
        SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the 
    Clean Air 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 impose any new requirements, I certify 
    that it does not have a significant impact on any small entities 
    affected. Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-State relationship 
    under the Act, preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis would 
    constitute Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state 
    action. The Clean Air Act forbids EPA to base its actions concerning 
    SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S. E.P.A., 427 U.S. 246, 
    256-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).
    
    C. Unfunded Mandates
    
        Under Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
    (``Unfunded Mandates Act''), 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 
    costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to 
    the 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
    
    [[Page 52868]]
    
    informing and advising any small governments that may be significantly 
    or uniquely impacted by the rule.
        EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does not 
    include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 
    million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in the 
    aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action proposes to 
    approve pre-existing requirements under State or local law, and imposes 
    not new Federal requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to 
    State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, result 
    from this action.
    
    D. Submission to Congress and the General Accounting Office
    
        Under 5 U.S.C. section 801(a)(1)(A) as added by the Small Business 
    Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA submitted 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 
    General Accounting Office prior to publication of this rule in today's 
    Federal Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
    U.S.C. section 804(2).
    
    E. Petitions for Judicial Review
    
        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 December 9, 1996. 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).)
