    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    I. Background

    On October 30, 1998, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania submitted a formal revision to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP revision consists of the following:

    1. A recodification of the air pollution control regulations for the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) from Article XX to Article XXI. These regulations pertain to general administrative provisions, emissions standards, emergency episode plans, test methods, and the permitting provisions for new and modified sources.

    2. New and revised general or administrative Provisions.

    3. Revised provisions governing reporting, testing, and monitoring.

    4. New and revised Permit provisions for new and modified sources.

    5. Revised provisions governing control of particulate matter (PM).

    6. Revised provisions governing control of sulfur dioxides (SO2).

    7. New and revised provisions governing control of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).

    8. New and revised provisions governing enforcement of the Article XXI requirements.

    The recodification consists of moving the SIP-approved air pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI. Article XXI rules initially became effective on January 1, 1994. On June 12, 1996 (61 FR 29664), EPA initially approved the structure of Article XXI as well as some definitions and regulations as part of the Allegheny County portion of the Pennsylvania SIP, and incorporated this article by the reference into the SIP at § 52.2020(c)(92).Start Printed Page 68936

    The comprehensive restructuring of ACHD's air pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI became effective October 20, 1995. Pennsylvania provided documentation showing that ACHD held public hearings on all of the above-described revisions on September 6, 1995, in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102.

    II. Summary of SIP Revision

    The Article XXI provisions which Pennsylvania submitted on behalf of Allegheny County in this action are summarized below. Many of these revisions consist of renumbering changes, or administrative changes, associated with the reorganization of Allegheny County's air pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI. This Article also contains air pollution control regulations which historically have not been included in the Allegheny County SIP because they pertain to provisions not related to the control of the criteria pollutants regulated under the SIP. The Article XXI provisions being reviewed in this SIP revision action and the current SIP citations found in Article XX are summarized as follows:

    In addition, Pennsylvania has requested EPA to remove from the Allegheny County SIP certain Article XX provisions which are not being incorporated into Article XXI. Allegheny County has removed these provisions because they are outdated, outmoded, and remove references to sources which are permanently shut down. These provisions are:

    Article XX RegulationTitle or DescriptionReason for Removal
    101Definitions of: Commissioners, Committee, Equivalent Opacity, Facility, Rendering, Ringelmann Scale, and Soiling IndexDefinitions are no longer found in Article XXI provisions being incorporated into the SIP.
    109Ambient standard for hydrocarbonsHydrocarbons are no longer a national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
    304Delayed Compliance OrdersACHD declares this provision to be moot (see section 512 below)
    306.E.Air Pollution Hearing BoardAll references to the Hearing Board been removed, as the Board no longer exists.
    512Compliance SchedulesACHD declares this provision to be moot, as all compliance dates have passed.
    902Shenango Incorporated—Blast FurnaceACHD has informed EPA that this source is permanently shut down, and is not carried by the current emissions inventory.
    903USX Corp.—Carrie Furnaces & Boilers #3&4; various other SO-x sourcesACHD has informed EPA that this source no longer exists, and is not carried by the current emissions inventory

    III. Evaluation of SIP Revision

    In addition to the recodification of Allegheny County's air pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI, and the removal of outdated and outmoded Article XX regualtions, Pennsylvania's October 30, 1998 SIP revision also contains several substantive changes to the new Article XXI regulations:

    1. They adopt regulations governing source categories of VOC emissions which are consistent with the emission limits and the scope of sources subject to the requirements of the SIP-approved Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) rules (Air Resources, Chapter 129).

    2. They update the applicable new source review and permitting provisions.

    3. They add new provisions governing general Federal conformity procedures.

    4. They update the applicable test methods and air pollution episode provisions.

    5. They update the applicable general enforcement provisions, and remove compliance schedules whose final compliance dates have passed.

    EPA has evaluated the revisions to Article XXI submitted by Pennsylvania on behalf of ACHD, and has concluded that they are consistent with the current Pennsylvania SIP requirements. EPA has also determined that the Article XXI provisions conform with the applicable Federal statutory and regulatory requirements, strengthen Allegheny County's enforcement procedures, and will not adversely impact ambient air quality levels. Furthermore, EPA has determined that the removal of the Article XX provisions described in this action will not adversely impact ambient air quality levels or Federal enforceability. EPA's evaluation is summarized as follows:

    Ozone

    Allegheny County has added several Article XXI regulations governing source categories which are currently controlled under the comparable SIP-approved VOC regulations found in Chapter 129 of the PADEP air pollution control regulations. These categories are wood cabinet and furniture coating, gasoline dispensing facilities (Stage II vapor recovery), petroleum refineries, pharmaceutical products, and manufacture of pneumatic rubber tires. EPA has reviewed the Article XXI VOC regulations, and has concluded that they are consistent with the requirements in terms of emissions limits and scope of sources subject to the comparable Chapter 129 rules. Allegheny County has also amended the regulation applicable to synthetic organic chemical and polymer manufacturing—fugitive sources which provides that any alternative control plan must first be approved by EPA before it becomes County-enforceable. Allegheny County has also removed the ambient air quality standard for hydrocarbons, which EPA determines to be consistent with the removal of the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for hydrocarbons from 40 CFR part 50.

    Particulate Matter

    The PM control measures included in this action update the emergency episode plans, and make negligible Start Printed Page 68939changes to the overall control strategy by adding open land to the list of premises subject to 2105.40. These revisions also remove references to Shenango, Incorporated—Neville Island's Blast Furnaces A and B. Allegheny County states in this SIP revision submittal that these sources no longer exist, and are not carried by the current emissions inventory.

    Sulfur Dioxide

    The SO2 control measures included in this action update the emergency episode plans. The revisions also remove references to sources which have permanently shut down, such as the open hearth furnaces and Carrie Furnace Boilers #3 and #4 at the United States Steel Corporation's Homestead Works. This revision also removes the coke oven gas requirement which had applied to the Shenango, Incorporated—Neville Island's Coke Oven Battery #4 Facility. Allegheny County states in this SIP revision submittal that these sources no longer exist, and are not carried by the current emissions inventory.

    Lead

    EPA is approving the addition of Allegheny County's ambient air quality standard for lead (1.5 micrograms per cubic meter, averaged over a 3-month period) to the chart found in Section 2101.09. EPA has determined that this standard is consistent with the NAAQS for lead found in 40 CFR 50.12.

    General Administration and Enforcement

    With regard to Allegheny County's general administration and enforcement provisions, this SIP revision consists of removing outdated and outmoded provisions, recodifying the existing SIP-approved provisions from Article XX to Article XXI, reorganizing these provisions within the structure of Article XXI, and updating the test methods and compliance determination provisions. In addition, Allegheny County's Article XXI rules strengthen the provisions related to confidentiality of emissions data, notification of breakdowns, and permit appeals.

    New Source Review and Permitting

    Allegheny County has recodified its permitting requirements from Article XX, Chapter VIII to the following Parts in Article XXI: Part B (Permits Generally), Part C (Operating Permits), and Part A, Section 2101.20 (Definitions). In addition, Allegheny County has submitted many new and revised permitting and new source review provisions to the aforementioned Article XXI provisions when compared to the SIP-approved Article XX, Chapter VIII provisions. EPA has determined that Allegheny County has adopted these revisions in order to both conform with the revised new source review and permitting requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act, as amended and conform with similar revised requirements adopted by the PADEP and approved by EPA as revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP.

    General Conformity

    Allegheny County has added Regulation 2109.20 (General Federal Conformity) to Article XXI. This new regulation, which applies to departments, agencies or instrumentalities of the Federal government, as well as related activities supported, financially assisted, licensed, permitted, or approved by the Federal government, incorporates by reference both the regulations promulgated by EPA in 40 CFR part 51, subpart W and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's regulations set forth at 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127.

    IV. Final Action

    Based on EPA's evaluation, EPA is approving the October 30, 1998 revisions to Allegheny County Articles XX and XXI described in this action as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. The incorporation of Article XXI into the SIP allow the citations of Federally enforceable SIP regulations to be consistent with the current Allegheny County regulations. At the same time, EPA is approving the removal from the Allegheny County SIP of Article XX, Regulations 304, 306.B., 512, 902, 903, and the definitions of Regulation 101 listed earlier in this document.

    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comment. However, in the “Proposed Rules” section of today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are filed. This rule will be effective on January 13, 2003 without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by December 16, 2002. If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

    V. Administrative Requirements

    A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a “significant regulatory action” and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, “Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use” (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4). This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 “Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks” (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), Start Printed Page 68940because it is not economically significant.

    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

    B. 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. 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. This rule is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

    C. 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 January 13, 2003. 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 regarding revisions to Allegheny County Articles XX and XXI may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
