AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Final rule and delegation of authority.

SUMMARY:

The states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and the local agencies of Lincoln-Lancaster County, Nebraska, and city of Omaha, Nebraska, have submitted updated regulations for delegation of the EPA authority for implementation and enforcement of NSPS and NESHAP. The submissions cover new EPA standards and, in some instances, revisions to standards previously delegated. EPA's review of the pertinent regulations shows that they contain adequate and effective procedures for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal standards. This action informs the public of delegations to the above-mentioned agencies.

DATES:

This rule is effective on May 18, 2000. The dates of delegation can be found in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION; section of this document.

Summary of this action

What Does This Rule Do?

EPA is providing notice that it is delegating authority for implementation and enforcement of the Federal standards shown in the tables below to the state and local air agencies in Region 7. This rule updates the delegation tables most recently published at 63 FR 1746 (January 12, 1998.)

Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) provides that an agency may forgo notice-and-comment rulemaking upon determination of “good cause” published with the rule. EPA considers these updates to be minor changes which are not subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures under the APA or any other statute.

What Is the Authority for Delegation?

1. Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes EPA to delegate authority to any state agency which submits adequate regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of the NSPS program. The NSPS standards are codified at 40 CFR Part 60.

2. Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR Part 63, subpart E, authorizes EPA to delegate authority to any state or local agency which submits adequate regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The hazardous air pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR Parts 61 and 63, respectively.

What Does Delegation Accomplish?

Delegation confers primary responsibility for implementation and enforcement of the listed standards to the respective state and local air agencies. However, EPA also retains the authority to enforce the standards if it so desires.

What Is Being Delegated?

Tables I, II, and III below list the delegated standards. The first date in each block is the reference date to the CFR contained in the state rule. In general, the state has adopted the applicable standard through this date as noted in the table. The second date is the most recent effective date of the state agency rule for which EPA is providing or updating the delegation.

What Is Not Being Delegated?

1. EPA regulations effective after the first date specified in each block have not been delegated, and authority for implementation of these regulations is retained solely by EPA.

2. In some cases, the standards themselves specify that specific provisions cannot be delegated. You should review the standard for this information.

3. In some cases, the agency rules do not adopt the Federal standard in its entirety. Each agency rule (available from the respective agency) should be consulted for specific information.

4. In some cases, existing delegation agreements between EPA and the agencies limit the scope of the delegated standards. Copies of delegation agreements are available from the state agencies, or from this office.

5. With respect to 40 CFR Part 63, subpart A, General Provisions (see Table III), EPA has determined that sections 63.6(g), 63.6(h)(9), 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), 63.8(f), and 63.10(f) cannot be delegated. Additional information is contained in an EPA memorandum titled “Delegation of 40 CFR Part 63 General Provisions Authorities to State and Local Air Pollution Control Agencies' from John Seitz, Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, dated July 10, 1998.

Summary of This Action

After a review of the submissions, the Regional Administrator determined that delegation was appropriate for the source categories with the conditions set forth in the original NSPS and NESHAP delegation agreements, and the limitations in all applicable regulations, including 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63.

You should refer to the applicable agreements and regulations referenced above to determine specific provisions which are not delegated.

All sources subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63 are also subject to the equivalent requirements of the above-mentioned state or local agencies.

EPA's review of the pertinent regulations shows that they contain adequate and effective procedures for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal standards. This rule informs the public of delegations to the above-mentioned agencies.

I. What Are the Administrative Requirements Associated With This Document?

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a “significant regulatory action” and is therefore not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. Because the agency has made a “good cause” finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the APA or any other statute (see section I. of this document), it is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and 204 of UMRA. This rule also does not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This rule will 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 rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.

This minor action does not involve technical standards; 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 also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in accordance with the “Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings” issued under the Executive Order. 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.).

The Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et 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 United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Parts 460, 461 and 463

• Environmental protection
• Air pollution control
• Intergovernmental relations

Authority: This rule is issued under the authority of sections 101, 110, 112, and 301 of the CAA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, 7410, 7412, and 7601).

Dated: April 3, 2000.
