    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Direct final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on revisions to the 
    California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern rules 
    from the following districts: Placer County Air Pollution Control 
    District (PLCAPCD), El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District 
    (EDCAPCD), Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VTCAPCD), 
    Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD), and Mojave Desert 
    Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD). This approval action will 
    incorporate these rules into the federally approved SIP. The intended 
    effect of approving these rules is to regulate emissions of volatile 
    organic compounds (VOCs) in accordance with the requirements of the 
    Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The revised rules 
    control VOC emissions from automotive refinishing, solvent cleaning and 
    degreasing, wood coating and graphic arts operations. Thus, EPA is 
    finalizing the approval of these revisions into the California SIP 
    under provisions of the CAA regarding EPA action on SIP submittal, SIPs 
    for national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards and 
    plan requirements for nonattainment areas.
    
    DATES: This action is effective on July 1, 1996, unless adverse or 
    critical comments are received by May 30, 1996. If the effective date 
    is delayed, a timely notice will be published in the Federal Register.
    
    ADDRESSES: Copies of the rule revisions and EPA's evaluation report for 
    each rule are available for public inspection at EPA's Region IX office 
    during normal business hours. Copies of the submitted

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Applicability
    
        The rules being approved into the California SIP include: PLCAPCD's 
    Rule 216, Organic Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations, and Rule 
    236, Wood Products Coating Operations; EDCAPCD's Rule 225, Organic 
    Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations, Rule 230, Motor Vehicle and 
    Mobile Equipment Coating Operations and Rule 235, Surface Preparation 
    and Cleanup; VTCAPCD's Rule 74.18 Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment 
    Coating Operations and Rule 74.30, Wood Products Coatings; YSAQMD's 
    Rule 2.13, Organic Solvents and Rule 2.26, Motor Vehicle and Mobile 
    Equipment Coating Operations; MDAQMD's Rule 1104, Organic Solvent 
    Degreasing Operations, Rule 1114, Wood Products Coating Operations and 
    Rule 1117, Graphic Arts. These rules were submitted by the California 
    Air Resources Board (CARB) to EPA on July 13, 1994 (Rules 74.30 and 
    1117), November 30, 1994 (Rules 225, 230, 1104, and 2.13), February 24, 
    1995 (Rule 74.18 and 2.26), March 31, 1995 (Rule 1114), May 24, 1995 
    (Rule 236) and October 13, 1995 (Rules 216 and 235).
    
    Background
    
        On March 3, 1978, EPA promulgated a list of ozone nonattainment 
    areas under the provisions of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1977 
    (1977 Act or pre-amended Act), that included Ventura County, part of 
    the Southeast Desert Air Basin, and the Sacramento Metro area, which 
    includes portions of Placer, Yolo, and El Dorado County. See 43 FR 
    8964, 40 CFR 81.305. On May 26, 1988, EPA notified the Governor of 
    California, pursuant to section 110(a)(2)(H) of the 1977 Act, that the 
    PLCAPCD, EDCAPCD, VTCAPCD, YSAQMD and the MDAQMD portions of the 
    California SIP were inadequate to attain and maintain the ozone 
    standard and requested that deficiencies in the existing SIP be 
    corrected (EPA's SIP-Call). On November 15, 1990, the Clean Air Act 
    Amendments of 1990 were enacted. Public Law 101-549, 104 Stat. 2399, 
    codified at 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q. In amended section 182 of the CAA, 
    Congress statutorily adopted the requirements that nonattainment areas 
    both fix their deficient reasonably available control technology (RACT) 
    rules for ozone and submit RACT rules for other stationary sources of 
    VOCs (the RACT fix-up and catch-up requirements). Congress established 
    a deadline of May 15, 1991 for States to submit corrections to 
    deficient rules and a deadline of November 15, 1992 for States to 
    submit rules for other VOC source categories.
        Section 182 applies to areas designated as nonattainment prior to 
    enactment of the amendments and classified as marginal or above as of 
    the date of enactment. It requires such areas to adopt and correct RACT 
    rules pursuant to pre-amended section 172 (b) as interpreted in pre-
    amendment guidance.1 EPA's SIP-Call used that guidance to indicate 
    the necessary corrections for specific nonattainment areas. Ventura 
    County, a portion of the Southeast Desert Air Basin, the Sacramento 
    Metro area, which includes portions of Placer, Yolo and El Dorado 
    County are classified as severe;2 therefore, these areas were 
    subject to the RACT fix-up and catch-up requirements and the deadlines 
    cited above.3
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        \1\ Among other things, the pre-amendment guidance consists of 
    those portions of the proposed post-1987 ozone and carbon monoxide 
    policy that concern RACT, 52 FR 45044 (November 24, 1987); ``Issues 
    Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and Deviations, 
    Clarification to Appendix D of November 24, 1987 Federal Register 
    Notice'' (Blue Book) (notice of availability was published in the 
    Federal Register on May 25, 1988); and the existing control 
    technique guidelines (CTGs).
        \2\ Ventura County and a portion of the Southeast Desert Air 
    Basin retained their designation of nonattainment and were 
    classified by operation of law pursuant to sections 107(d) and 
    181(a) upon the date of enactment of the CAA. See 55 FR 56694 
    (November 6, 1991). The Sacramento Metro Area was reclassified from 
    serious to severe on June 1, 1995. See 60 FR 20237 (April 25, 1995)
        \3\ California did not make the required SIP submittal for 
    Mojave Desert AQMD's Rule 1104, Graphic Arts, by November 15, 1992. 
    On January 15, 1993, the EPA made a finding of failure to make a 
    submittal pursuant to section 179(a)(1), which started an 18 month 
    sanction clock. The rule being acted on in this direct final rule 
    was submitted in response to the EPA finding of failure to submit.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        The State of California submitted many revised RACT rules for 
    incorporation into its SIP on July 13, 1994, November 30, 1994, 
    February 24, 1995, March 31, 1995, May 24, 1995, and October 13, 1995, 
    including the rules being acted on in this document. This document 
    addresses EPA's direct-final action for PLCAPCD's Rule 216, Organic 
    Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations, and 236, Wood Products 
    Coating Operations; EDCAPCD's Rules 225, Organic Solvent Cleaning and 
    Degreasing Operations, 230, Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating 
    Operations, and 235, Surface Preparation and Cleanup; VTCAPCD's Rules 
    74.18 Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations, and 74.30, 
    Wood Products Coatings; YSAQMD's Rules 2.13, Organic Solvents, and 
    2.26, Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations; MDAQMD's 
    Rules 1104, Organic Solvent Degreasing Operations, 1114, Wood Products 
    Coating Operations and 1117, Graphic Arts. These submitted rules were 
    found to be complete on July 22, 1994 (1117), September 12, 1994 
    (74.30), January 3, 1995 (1104), January 30, 1995 (2.13, 225, and 230), 
    March 10, 1995 (74.18, 2.26,), May 2, 1995 (1114), July 24, 1995 (236), 
    and November 28, 1995 (216, 235) pursuant to EPA's completeness 
    criteria that are set forth in 40 CFR part 51 Appendix V 4 and are 
    being finalized for approval into the SIP.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        \4\ EPA adopted the completeness criteria on February 16, 1990 
    (55 FR 5830) and, pursuant to section 110(k)(1)(A) of the CAA, 
    revised the criteria on August 26, 1991 (56 FR 42216).
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        VTCAPCD's Rule 74.18, EDCAPCD's Rule 230, and YSAQMD's Rule 2.26 
    control emissions of VOCs from refinishing of motor vehicles and mobile 
    equipment, YSAQMD's Rule 2.13 controls emissions of VOCs from the usage 
    of organic solvents, EDCAPCD's Rule 235 controls emissions of VOCs from 
    surface preparation and cleanup using organic solvents, EDAPCD's Rule 
    225, PLCAPCD's Rule 216 and MDAQMD's Rule 1104 control emissions of 
    VOCs from organic solvent degreasing operations, PLCAPCD's Rule 236, 
    MDAQMD's Rule 1114 and VTCAPCD's Rule 74.30 control emissions of VOCs 
    from coating of wood products and MDAQMD's Rule 1117
    
    [[Page 18964]]
    
    controls emissions of VOCs from graphic arts operations. VOCs 
    contribute to the production of ground level ozone and smog. These 
    rules were originally adopted by the respective districts as part of 
    their effort to achieve the National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
    (NAAQS) for ozone and in response to EPA's SIP-Call and the section 
    182(a)(2)(A) CAA requirement. The following is EPA's evaluation and 
    final action for these rules.
    
    EPA Evaluation and Action
    
        In determining the approvability of a VOC rule, EPA must evaluate 
    the rule for consistency with the requirements of the CAA and EPA 
    regulations, as found in section 110 and part D of the CAA and 40 CFR 
    part 51 (Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of 
    Implementation Plans). The EPA interpretation of these requirements, 
    which forms the basis for today's action, appears in the various EPA 
    policy guidance documents listed in footnote 1. Among those provisions 
    is the requirement that a VOC rule must, at a minimum, provide for the 
    implementation of RACT for stationary sources of VOC emissions. This 
    requirement was carried forth from the pre-amended Act.
        For the purpose of assisting state and local agencies in developing 
    RACT rules, EPA prepared a series of Control Technique Guideline (CTG) 
    documents. The CTGs are based on the underlying requirements of the Act 
    and specify the presumptive norms for what is RACT for specific source 
    categories. Under the CAA, Congress ratified EPA's use of these 
    documents, as well as other Agency policy, for requiring States to 
    ``fix-up'' their RACT rules. See section 182(a)(2)(A). The CTG 
    applicable to EDCAPCD's Rule 225, PLCAPCD's Rule 216 and MDAQMD's Rule 
    1104 is entitled, Control of Volatile Organic Emissions From Solvent 
    Metal Cleaning. EPA-450/2-77-022, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
    Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, November 1977, and the 
    CTG applicable to MDAQMD's Rule 1117 is entitled, Control of Volatile 
    Organic Emissions from Stationary Sources--Volume VIII: Graphic Arts--
    Rotogravure and Flexography, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
    Office of Air Quality And Standards, December 1978, EPA-450/2-78-033. 
    MDAQMD's Rule 1114 and VTCAPCD's Rule 74.30 limit emissions from a 
    source category for which EPA has published a draft CTG entitled, 
    Control Techniques Guideline Document; Wood Furniture Finishing and 
    Cleaning Operation, see 60 FR 46595, September 7, 1995, which was used 
    as guidance in the evaluation. VTCAPCD's Rule 74.18, EDCAPCD's Rules 
    230 and 235, and YSAQMD's Rule 2.26, and 2.13 are applicable to source 
    categories for which EPA has not published a CTG. Accordingly, these 
    rules were evaluated against the interpretation of EPA policy found in 
    the Blue Book, referred to in Footnote 1 and against other EPA policy 
    including the EPA Region 9/CARB document entitled: Guidance Document 
    for correcting VOC rule deficiencies, (April 1991). In general, these 
    guidance documents have been set forth to ensure that VOC rules are 
    fully enforceable and strengthen or maintain the SIP.
        PLCAPCD's submitted Rule 216, Organic Solvent Cleaning and 
    Degreasing Operations, includes the following significant changes from 
    the current SIP:

    Solvent Degreasing Operations, 1114, Wood Products Coating, and 1114, 
    Graphic Arts, are being approved under section 110(k)(3) of the CAA as 
    meeting the requirements of section 110(a) and part D.
        Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or 
    allowing or establishing a precedent for any future implementation 
    plan. Each request for revision to the state implementation plan shall 
    be considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and 
    environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and 
    regulatory requirements.
        EPA is publishing this document 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, the EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision 
    should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be 
    effective July 1, 1996, unless, by May 30, 1996, adverse or critical 
    comments are received.
        If the EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn 
    before the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will 
    withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be 
    addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a 
    proposed rule. The 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 July 1, 1996.
    
    Regulatory Process
    
        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 impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small 
    entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises and 
    government entities with jurisdiction over population of less than 
    50,000.
        SIP approvals under sections 110 and 301(a) 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
    
    [[Page 18966]]
    
    constitute Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state 
    action. The CAA 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 (S. 
    Ct. 1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410 (a)(2).
    
    Unfunded Mandates
    
        Under Sections 202, 203, and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
    Act of 1995 (``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 
    1995, EPA 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 this state implementation plan or plan 
    revision, the State and any affected local or tribal governments have 
    elected to adopt the program provided for under Part D of the Clean Air 
    Act. These rules may bind State, local, and tribal governments to 
    perform certain actions and also require the private sector to perform 
    certain duties. The rules being [proposed for approval/approved] by 
    this action will impose no new requirements because affected sources 
    are already subject to these regulations under State law. Therefore, no 
    additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments or to the 
    private sector result from this action. EPA has also determined that 
    this [proposed or final] action does not include a mandate that may 
    result in estimated costs of $100 million or more to State, local, or 
    tribal governments in the aggregate or to the private sector.
        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 Executive Order 12866 review.
