    SUMMARY: The USEPA is approving, in final, Ohio's 1990 base-year ozone 
    precursor emissions inventories for the Canton, Cincinnati-Hamilton, 
    Cleveland-Akron-Lorain and Youngstown-Warren-Sharon ozone nonattainment 
    areas as revisions to the Ohio State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 
    emissions inventories were submitted to satisfy a Federal requirement 
    that States containing ozone nonattainment areas submit inventories of 
    actual ozone precursor emissions for the year 1990. The Ohio ozone 
    nonattainment areas covered by this rulemaking are Canton (Stark 
    County); Cincinnati-Hamilton (Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren 
    Counties); Cleveland-Akron-Lorain (Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, 
    Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit Counties); and Youngstown-Warren-
    Sharon (Mahoning and Trumbull Counties).
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: This action will be effective January 8, 1996.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    I. Background
    
        Section 182(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) 
    requires States with ozone nonattainment areas to submit a 
    comprehensive, accurate and current inventory of actual ozone precursor 
    emissions (which includes volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen 
    oxides (NOX), and carbon monoxide (CO)) for each ozone 
    nonattainment area by November 15, 1992. This inventory must include 
    anthropogenic base-year (1990) emissions from stationary point, area, 
    non-road mobile, and on-road mobile sources, as well as biogenic 
    (naturally occurring) sources in all ozone nonattainment areas. The 
    emissions inventory must be based on conditions that exist during the 
    peak ozone season (generally the period when peak hourly ozone 
    concentrations occur in excess of the primary ozone National Ambient 
    Air Quality Standard--NAAQS). Ohio's annual ozone season is from April 
    1 to October 31 of each year.
    
    II. Criteria for Evaluating Ozone Emissions Inventories
    
        Guidance for preparing and reviewing the emission inventories is 
    provided in the following USEPA guidance documents or memoranda: 
    ``State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the Implementation 
    of Title I of the Act,'' (Preamble) as published in the April 16, 1992 
    Federal Register (57 FR 13498); ``Emission Inventory Requirements for 
    Ozone State Implementation Plans,'' (EPA-450/4-91-010) dated March 
    1991; a memorandum from John Calcagni, Director, Air Quality Management 
    Division, OAQPS, entitled ``Public Hearing Requirements for the 1990 
    Base-Year Emissions Inventories for Ozone and Carbon Monoxide 
    Nonattainment Areas,'' dated September 29, 1992; ``Procedures for the 
    Preparation of Emissions Inventories for Carbon Monoxide and Precursors 
    of Ozone, Volumes I and II,'' (EPA-450/4-91-016 and EPA-450/4-91-014) 
    (Procedures; Volumes I and II) dated May 1991; and ``Procedures for 
    Emissions Inventories Preparation, Volume IV: Mobile Sources,'' (EPA-
    450/4-81-026d) (Procedures; Volume IV) dated 1992.
        As a primary tool for the review of the quality of emission 
    inventories, the USEPA has also developed three levels (I, II, and III) 
    of emission inventories checklists. The Level I and II checklists are 
    used to determine that all required components of the base-year 
    emission inventory and associated documentation are present. These 
    reviews also evaluate the level of quality of the associated 
    documentation and the data provided by the State and assess whether the 
    emission estimates were developed according to the USEPA guidance. The 
    Level III review evaluates crucial aspects and the overall 
    acceptability of the emission inventory submittal. Failure to meet one 
    of the ten critical aspects would lead to disapproval of the emissions 
    inventory submittal.
        Detailed Level I and II review procedures can be found in the USEPA 
    guidance document entitled ``Quality Review Guidelines for 1990 Base 
    Year Emissions Inventories,'' (Quality Review) (EPA-454/R-92-007) dated 
    August 1992. Level III criteria were attached to a memorandum from John 
    S. Seitz, Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, 
    entitled ``Emission Inventory Issue,'' dated June 24, 1993. The Level 
    I, II, and III checklists used in reviewing this emissions inventory 
    submittal are attached to a USEPA technical support document dated 
    October 3, 1995.
    
    III. State Submittal
    
        On March 15, 1994, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) 
    submitted a revision to the ozone portion of Ohio's SIP which consisted 
    of the 1990 base-year ozone emissions inventory for the following 
    
    [[Page 62738]]
    ozone nonattainment areas in Ohio: Canton, Cincinnati-Hamilton, 
    Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, Columbus, Dayton-Springfield, Toledo and 
    Youngstown-Warren-Sharon. The USEPA has completed its review of the 
    emissions inventories submitted for the Canton (which includes Stark 
    County), Cincinnati-Hamilton (which includes Butler, Clermont, Hamilton 
    and Warren Counties), Cleveland-Akron-Lorain (Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, 
    Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit Counties) and 
    Youngstown-Warren-Sharon (which includes Mahoning and Trumbull 
    Counties) ozone nonattainment areas. Revisions to the March 1994 
    submittal were submitted on June 8 and August 18, 1995 for these areas. 
    These revisions addressed deficiencies highlighted in USEPA's proposed 
    rulemaking. The 1990 base-year emissions inventories submitted for the 
    Toledo and Dayton-Springfield were approved in a rulemaking published 
    in the Federal Register on March 22, 1995 (60 FR 15053). The emissions 
    inventory submitted for the Columbus area will be addressed in a 
    separate rulemaking.
    
    Inventory Preparation Plan/Quality Assurance Plan
    
        All States were required to submit an Inventory Preparation Plan 
    (IPP) to USEPA for review and approval by October 1, 1991. The IPP 
    documents the procedures utilized in the development of an emissions 
    inventory and contains the quality assurance and quality control plan 
    (QA/QC). On March 19, 1992, the State of Ohio submitted a final ozone 
    emissions IPP. On April 15, 1992, USEPA informed the State that the IPP 
    was not approvable at the time. Subsequently, USEPA has worked with the 
    State to correct deficiencies in the IPP. With the March 1994 SIP 
    revision request, the State submitted documentation of how the 
    emissions inventory was prepared, as well as a quality assurance report 
    for the point, area, and mobile source portions of the emissions 
    inventory. The USEPA finds that this documentation and quality 
    assurance report are acceptable to meet the requirements of an IPP.
    
    Point Source Emissions Inventory
    
        For each nonattainment area, the State submitted a point source 
    emissions inventory of all facilities that emit at least 10 tons per 
    year (tpy) of VOC, or 100 tpy NOX or CO. The State also included 
    sources that emit 100 tpy of VOC, CO, or NOX located in a 25-mile 
    boundary surrounding each nonattainment area. The point source 
    emissions inventory contains general facility information, number of 
    sources, production schedules and related emissions for each source, 
    emissions limitation, control efficiency and rule effectiveness (RE), 
    as applicable, and total emissions on an annual and daily ozone season 
    basis.
        The following methods were employed by the State to identify 
    sources to be included in the 1990 base-year emissions inventory: The 
    1989 records for plants in the Emissions Inventory System (EIS) were 
    checked and plants meeting the VOC, CO or NOX criteria were 
    revised with 1990 emissions data; the air permit records were reviewed 
    for plants that are candidates for inclusion in the point source 
    inventory; and current industrial directories and the Toxic Release 
    Information System (TRIS) database were checked for additional point 
    source emissions. For facilities in the point source inventory, the 
    State acquired the emissions data by means of the following: Mail 
    surveys; plant inspections; telephone calls; and air permit files.
        The USEPA reviewed the point source emissions data by cross 
    referencing the point source inventory to the following sources: (1) 
    USEPA's guidance document entitled ``Major CO, NO2, and VOC 
    Sources in the 25-Mile Boundary Around Ozone Nonattainment Areas, 
    Volume I: Classified Ozone Nonattainment Areas,'' (EPA-450/4-92-005a) 
    February 1992; a 1990 TRIS Retrieval; and a 1990 Aerometric Information 
    Retrieval Systems (AIRS) Facility Subsystem--Emission to Compliance 
    Comparison Report.
        Where a source was governed by a regulation or a control device, 
    the emissions limit was stated. A RE factor was then applied in the 
    determination of emissions. In accordance with USEPA guidance, a 
    standard RE factor of 80 percent was utilized, unless otherwise 
    justified.
    
    Area Source Emissions Inventory
    
        Area source emissions were calculated using State-specific data as 
    well as USEPA guidance documents and technical memoranda developed for 
    various categories. The State utilized emission factors from 
    Procedures; Volumes I and IV, and AP-42 and provided necessary 
    documentation. The following area source categories were included in 
    the emissions inventory: Gasoline loading and distribution, dry 
    cleaning, degreasing, architectural surface coatings, traffic markings, 
    automobile refinishing, graphic arts, cutback asphalt, pesticide 
    application, commercial/consumer solvents, bakeries, waste management 
    practices (landfills), leaking underground storage tanks, incineration 
    of solid waste, stationary fossil fuel combustion, and fires 
    (structural, open burn, etc.). Vehicle refueling emissions were 
    included as part of the mobile source emissions inventory.
        The area source inventory was reviewed utilizing USEPA's guidance 
    documents, and the Level I and II checklists, to ensure that all source 
    categories and their related emissions (and emission factors) were 
    included in the area source emissions inventory. Seasonal adjustments, 
    rule effectiveness, and rule penetration factors were applied as 
    indicated in the State submittal.
    
    On-Road Mobile Source Emissions Inventory
    
    Development of Emission Factors
        In the development of the mobile source emissions inventory, the 
    State utilized USEPA's mobile source emissions model, Mobile 5a, for 
    the determination of emissions factors for eight vehicle types and 
    twelve roadway types. Hard-copy documentation of the input and output 
    files are provided in the State's submittal. Where available, the 
    State-specific inputs were utilized in the development of the input 
    files for Mobile 5a.
    Development of Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT)
        Canton, Cleveland-Akron-Lorain and Youngstown-Warren-Sharon Areas: 
    The 1990 VMT for each roadway type was developed by the Ohio Department 
    of Transportation (ODOT). ODOT maintains data on each section of 
    highway in the State of Ohio. VMT were developed by the State Road 
    Inventory System and reported through the Highway Performance 
    Monitoring System (HPMS) to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
        Each roadway section daily VMT (dVMT) is computed as the annual 
    average daily traffic (AADT) for that section times the length of the 
    section. The county DVMT is the sum of the DVMT for each highway 
    functional classifications in the county. The total dVMTs are then 
    summed as a statewide total. The statewide totals are then compared by 
    functional class to the 1990 HPMS submittal. For those classifications 
    were traffic counts are available for all or nearly all their sections, 
    the totals were essentially the same. For those with more off-systems 
    roads, the resulting totals were larger than the HPMS's submittal value 
    (as expected). Correction factors were computed from the two sets of 
    totals and applied to the individual cells. 
    
    [[Page 62739]]
    
        ODOT used permanent and portable vehicle classification equipment 
    to develop the vehicle mix by functional classification of highway. 
    Traficomp III vehicle classification equipment are used to support the 
    HPMS data collection effort. A software program called OHIO CONVERT 
    formats vehicle classification data into the FHWA Vehicle 
    Classification categories.
        Cincinnati-Hamilton Area: For the Cincinnati-Hamilton area, the 
    Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) was 
    responsible for the development of the mobile source emissions 
    inventory. OKI developed this inventory for the Ohio and Kentucky 
    portions of the interstate nonattainment area. OKI utilized the OKI 
    Travel Demand Model to estimate the traffic volume on each roadway 
    segment and an OKI utility program to which calculates the loaded 
    speed, VMT and emissions for each roadway segment.
        The OKI travel demand model is a computerized travel demand 
    forecasting model for the entire interstate nonattainment area. The 
    model uses a four phase sequential travel demand forecasting process of 
    trip generation, distribution modal choice and assignment. The OKI 
    Travel Demand Model is composed of TRANPLAN programs and Fortran 
    programs written by OKI.
        The model takes zonal demographic data and the transportation 
    network as inputs and produces estimated traffic volumes on each 
    roadway segment in the network. Traffic zones are the analysis units in 
    the model. The OKI region is divided into 909 zones. The output of the 
    model is a loaded highway network which contains information for each 
    link such as initial speed, capacity, distance, functional class 
    district number area type and forecasted traffic.
    
    Off-Road Mobile Source Emissions Inventory
    
        Canton, Cincinnati-Hamilton and Youngstown-Warren-Sharon Areas: The 
    State developed emissions estimates for the following off-road 
    categories according to USEPA guidance: Aircraft, railroad locomotives, 
    recreational boating, off road motorcycles, agricultural equipment, 
    construction equipment, industrial equipment, and lawn and garden 
    equipment. Documentation was provided as to the sources of emissions 
    factors utilized and were submitted in the area source emissions 
    inventory portion of the submittal.
        Cleveland-Akron-Lorain Area: The State utilized emissions estimates 
    for non-road emissions developed by the Office of Mobile Sources (OMS - 
    USEPA) in October 1992, in accordance with USEPA requirements for the 
    Cleveland-Akron-Lorain off-road mobile source emissions inventory. 
    These OMS emissions estimates are provided for off-road diesel engines, 
    as well as two-stroke and four-stroke gasoline engines, including off-
    road motorcycles, construction equipment, farm equipment, lawn and 
    garden equipment, industrial equipment, and recreational vessels. In 
    addition, the State included in the off-road mobile source inventory 
    emissions from aircraft, railroads, and commercial vessels, which are 
    not included in the OMS data. These estimates were developed using 
    emissions factors from AP-42 and activity factors gathered from various 
    sources.
        The off-road mobile source inventory was reviewed utilizing the 
    Level I and II checklists and USEPA's guidance documents to ensure that 
    all source categories and their related emissions factors were included 
    in the off-road mobile source emissions inventory.
    
    Biogenic Emissions Inventory
    
        The State of Ohio developed the naturally occurring (biogenic) 
    emissions for the Canton, Cincinnati-Hamilton, Cleveland-Akron-Lorain 
    and Youngstown-Warren-Sharon areas according to a USEPA's guidance 
    document entitled ``User's Guide to the Personal Computer Version of 
    the Biogenic Emissions Inventory System (PC-BEIS),'' (EPA-450/4-91-017) 
    dated July 1991. Meteorological data utilized in PC-BEIS was collected 
    in accordance with USEPA guidance. The ten warmest days from the period 
    between 1988 to 1990 with the highest hourly peak ozone concentrations 
    in each ozone nonattainment areas was collected and reviewed. As 
    required by USEPA guidance, the corresponding ozone concentration to 
    the fourth highest daily maximum temperature for each nonattainment 
    area was selected and utilized in the model. The State provided hard 
    copy documentation as to the meteorological inputs utilized and PC-BEIS 
    output files for the biogenic emissions inventory for the Canton, 
    Cincinnati-Hamilton, Cleveland-Akron-Lorain and Youngstown-Warren-
    Sharon nonattainment areas.
    
    IV. Approval of the Emissions Inventories
    
        In a letter addressed to Robert Hodanbosi, Chief, Division of Air 
    Pollution Control, OEPA, dated March 23, 1995, USEPA provided comments 
    on the 1990 base-year ozone emissions inventories submitted for the 
    Canton, Cincinnati-Hamilton, Cleveland-Akron-Lorain and Youngstown-
    Warren-Sharon areas. These comments addressed corrections that would be 
    needed before the inventories could be finally approved.
        In a letter dated June 8, 1995, the State of Ohio provided a 
    response to comments on the area, on-road and off-road mobile, and 
    biogenic source emissions. The USEPA has reviewed these responses and 
    finds that the State has satisfied the Agency's comments and that the 
    emissions inventory for the area, on-road mobile, non-road mobile, and 
    biogenic sources is approvable.
        At the time of the proposed rulemaking, the State had not responded 
    to the point source emissions inventory comments that were stated in 
    the March 23, 1995, letter (these comments addressed possible 
    facilities that may be required to be included in the point source 
    emissions inventory). The USEPA proposed to approve the State's point 
    source emissions inventory contingent upon the State's response (and 
    completion of USEPA's review) to the point source emissions comments.
        In a letter dated August 18, 1995, the State of Ohio provided a 
    response to comments on the point source emissions inventory. The USEPA 
    has reviewed these responses and finds that the State has satisfied the 
    Agency's comments and that the emissions inventory for point sources is 
    approvable.
    
    V. Summary of Ozone Emissions Inventory
    
        The following summary indicates the emissions inventories for an 
    average ozone summer weekday for the Canton, Cincinnati-Hamilton, 
    Cleveland-Akron-Lorain and Youngstown-Warren-Sharon ozone nonattainment 
    areas. The emissions are stated in tons per ozone season weekday:

    VI. Proposed Rulemaking Action and Solicitation of Public Comment
    
        On July 10, 1995, USEPA published a rulemaking proposing to approve 
    the emissions inventories submitted by the State of Ohio for the 
    Canton, Cincinnati-Hamilton, Cleveland-Akron-Lorain, and Youngstown-
    Warren-Sharon ozone nonattainment areas (refer to 60 FR 35535). No 
    comments were submitted to USEPA on this proposed action. Also, the 
    proposed rulemaking discussed the use of a letter notice procedure for 
    final approval of this SIP revision. The USEPA has decided to take 
    final action through the Federal Register and not use the letter notice 
    procedure for this action.
    
    VII. Final Action
    
        The USEPA is approving, in final, Ohio's 1990 base-year ozone 
    precursor emissions inventories for the Canton (Stark County); 
    Cincinnati-Hamilton (Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren Counties); 
    Cleveland-Akron-Lorain (Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, 
    Medina, Portage and Summit Counties); and Youngstown-Warren-Sharon 
    (Mahoning and Trumbull Counties) ozone nonattainment areas. These 
    emissions inventories were submitted as revision to Ohio's State 
    Implementation Plan.
    
    VIII. General Provisions
    
        Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting, allowing 
    or establishing a precedent for any future request for revision to any 
    SIP. Each request for revision to any SIP shall be considered 
    separately in light of specific technical, economic, and environmental 
    factors and in relation to relevant statutory and regulatory 
    requirements.
        This action has been classified as a Table 3 action for signature 
    by the Regional Administrator under the 
    
    [[Page 62741]]
    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, Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. The 
    Office of Management and Budget has exempted this regulatory action 
    from Executive Order 12866 review.
    
    IX. Regulatory Process
    
        Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., USEPA 
    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, USEPA may certify that the rule will not have a 
    significant 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 CAA 
    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 CAA, 
    preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis would constitute 
    Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of State action. The 
    CAA forbids USEPA 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).
        Under Sections 202, 203, and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
    Act of 1995, signed into law on March 22, 1995, USEPA must undertake 
    various actions in association with proposed or final rules that 
    include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 
    million or more to the private sector, or to State, local, or tribal 
    governments in the aggregate.
        Through submission of the state implementation plan or plan 
    revisions approved in this action, the State has elected to adopt the 
    program provided for under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. The rules 
    and commitments being approved in this action may bind State, local and 
    tribal governments to perform certain actions and also may ultimately 
    lead to the private sector being required to perform certain duties. To 
    the extent that the rules and commitments being approved by this action 
    will impose or lead to the imposition of any mandate upon the State, 
    local or tribal governments either as the owner or operator of a source 
    or as a regulator, or would impose or lead to the imposition of any 
    mandate upon the private sector, EPA's action will impose no new 
    requirements; such sources are already subject to these requirements 
    under State law. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or 
    tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this action. 
    The USEPA has also determined that this action does not include a 
    mandate that may result in estimated costs or $100 million or more to 
    State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate or to the private 
    sector. Approval of Ohio's emissions inventories does not impose any 
    new requirements on small entities.
        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 February 5, 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).)
