    Clean Air Act Limited Approval of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) 
    Control Measures for Texas

    ACTION: Final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The EPA is giving limited approval to certain control measures 
    adopted by the State of Texas in its 15 Percent Rate of Progress Plan. 
    The effect of this action is to finalize the proposed limited approval 
    of these measures published on January 29, 1996, in the Federal 
    Register (FR) because they strengthen the State Implementation Plan 
    (SIP) by reducing VOC emissions in the four nonattainment areas in 
    Texas. Also, the EPA is finalizing the limited approval of the measures 
    in the contingency plans because these measures, if implemented, will 
    strengthen the SIP.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective on June 23, 1997.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        Section 182(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (the ACT), as amended in 
    1990, requires ozone nonattainment areas with classifications of 
    moderate and above to develop plans to reduce area-wide VOC emissions 
    by 15 percent from a 1990 baseline. These plans also had to include 
    contingency measures in the amount of 3 percent to be implemented if 
    the plans failed to achieve the required reductions. In Texas, 15 
    Percent Rate of Progress Plans were required for the Beaumont/Port 
    Arthur, Dallas/Fort Worth, El Paso and Houston/Galveston areas. Texas 
    made submittals on November 13, 1993; May 9, 1994, August 3, 1994, and 
    November 14, 1994, to meet the Act's requirement.
        In these proposed SIP revisions, Texas included changes to 30 Texas 
    Administrative Code, Chapter 115, concerning the control of VOCs. These 
    revisions included controls on several stationary sources and also 
    limits on gasoline volatility in the El Paso area. On January 29, 1996, 
    the EPA published a proposed limited approval of these control 
    measures. These measures result in a strengthening of the SIP because 
    they will result in reductions in air pollution. The EPA is not taking 
    any action on whether the control measures included in these plans 
    comply with the RACT requirements of the Act, section 182(b)(2), or any 
    other underlying Act requirement. In addition, the EPA is giving 
    limited approval of only the Alternate Means of Control (AMOC) portion 
    of the November 9, 1994, submittal as a strengthening of the SIP. The 
    EPA is taking no action on any other portion of the November 9, 1994, 
    submittal. In this action, the EPA is only finalizing the proposed 
    limited approval of the control measures. The EPA is taking no action 
    with regard to the limited approval and limited disapproval of the 15 
    Percent Plans themselves. Texas submitted revised 15 Percent Plans for 
    the four areas in a letter dated August 9, 1996. The EPA will evaluate 
    these revised plans and take action in a separate Federal Register 
    document on the resubmitted 15 Percent Rate of Progress Plans and 
    Contingency Plans.
        This final rule addresses the comments received during the public 
    comment period and announces EPA's final action regarding limited 
    approval of the control measures.
    
    Response to Public Comments
    
        In the January 10, 1996, Federal Register, the EPA requested public 
    comments on the proposed rules (61 FR 2751-2760). The EPA received five 
    letters commenting on the January 29, 1996, proposal. They can be 
    placed in the following categories: comments on the amount of emission 
    reduction being approved or disapproved in the proposal, comments 
    regarding the timing of the final action, comments on the action on the 
    AMOC and comments on the concept of a limited approval/limited 
    disapproval, comments on the legality of submitting the Texas plan in 
    phases, and comments on whether the propose bakery rules are Reasonably 
    Available Control Technology.
    
    Comments on the Amount of Emission Reductions
    
        Two commentors believed the EPA was proposing approval of the 
    incorrect amount of emission reductions. One commentor believed that 
    not enough emission reductions were being credited to the industrial 
    wastewater rules. Another commentor believed that too much credit was 
    being allowed for
    
    [[Page 27965]]
    
    several measures. In this action, the EPA is not finalizing its action 
    on the amount of emission reductions projected in the plan. This action 
    only finalizes the approval of certain of the control measures included 
    in the plan as a strengthening of the SIP. Comments on the amount of 
    reductions in the plan will be addressed in a separate action on the 
    overall 15 Percent plans.
    
    Comments on the Timing of the Final Action
    
        Six commentors asked that the EPA withhold final action on the 
    limited disapproval of the 15 Percent Plans until the revised plans 
    could be submitted. The EPA is not taking action on the proposed 
    limited approval/limited disapproval of the 15 Percent Plans at this 
    time. Texas submitted revisions to its 15 Percent Plans in a letter 
    dated August 9, 1996.
    
    Comments on the Approval of the AMOC provisions
    
        Two commentors supported the approval of the AMOC provisions. One 
    commentor felt that the AMOC provisions should not be approved because 
    they are ``illegal and outside the Clean Air Act.''
        The AMOC provisions allow facilities to identify alternate methods 
    of achieving emissions reductions than those called for in the 
    regulations. The provisions require facilities to achieve more 
    reductions when using alternative methods than would be required by 
    traditional compliance with the State rules. By identifying alternative 
    compliance methods, facilities may be able to achieve greater 
    environmental benefit at substantial cost savings. The AMOC provisions 
    require facilities to apply to the State for approval of an AMOC plan. 
    The State must take public comment on the proposed plan and the EPA has 
    final review authority. The goal of the AMOC process is to provide a 
    process that is less time consuming than processing a source specific 
    SIP revision but still allows appropriate public and EPA review. The 
    EPA disagrees that the AMOC provisions do not meet the requirements of 
    the Act. The State rule requires: (1) greater emission reductions for 
    alternate control methods, (2) a public comment period and (3) EPA 
    approval/disapproval.
    
    Comments on the Concept of a Limited Approval/Limited Disapproval
    
        One commentor states that the EPA has taken a distorted 
    interpretation of the Act by giving limited approval to the measures in 
    the plan as strengthening the SIP since the Act contains specific 
    deadlines.
        The EPA agrees that the Act does require emission reductions to 
    occur by specific deadlines. In fact, the proposed limited disapproval 
    was based on the failure of Texas to demonstrate that sufficient 
    reductions would occur to meet the 15 percent requirement. The EPA does 
    believe that the measures being giving limited approval will result in 
    substantial emission reductions and are enforceable, thus warranting a 
    limited approval as a strengthening of the SIP. The limited approval 
    makes the rules federally enforceable. It is EPA's position that 
    sections 110(k)(3) and 301(a) of the Act provide the legal authority 
    for the process.
    
    Comments on the Submittal of the Texas Plan in Phases
    
        One commentor believes that the EPA should not have allowed Texas 
    to submit its plan in phases.
        The EPA is not addressing the 15 Percent Plans and the related 
    deadlines at this time. The EPA is only approving the control measures 
    as a strengthening of the SIP not as part of the 15 Percent Plans.
    
    Comments on Whether the Bakery Rules are RACT
    
        One commentor stated the bakery rules which call for 30 percent 
    control should not be considered RACT. The EPA is not approving the 
    bakery rules as RACT. We specifically note in the January 29, 1996 
    proposal that no action is being taken on whether the measures 
    represent RACT. Texas submitted additional information regarding RACT 
    issues for several source categories including bakeries in a January 
    19, 1996, proposed SIP revision. The EPA is evaluating this information 
    and will be publishing a determination regarding RACT in a future 
    Federal Register action.
    
    Final Action
    
        It is EPA's determination that approval of the control measures in 
    these plans will strengthen the SIP. The EPA is giving limited approval 
    to the control measures in the 15 Percent Plans and Contingency Plans 
    under sections 110(k)(3) and 301(a) of the Act. In this action, the EPA 
    is not addressing whether these control measures, being approved as a 
    strengthening of the SIP, meet any other underlying requirements of the 
    Act such as the requirement for VOC RACT under 182(b)(2). The EPA will 
    address these requirements in separate Federal Register documents.
        Nothing in this action shall be construed as permitting, allowing, 
    or establishing a precedent for any future request for a revision to 
    any SIP. Each request for revision to the SIP shall be considered 
    separately in light of specific technical, economic, and environmental 
    factors and in relation to relevant statutory and regulatory 
    requirements.
    
    Administrative Requirements
    
    A. Executive Order (E.O.) 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 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. See 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 populations of less than 
    50,000.
        The SIP approvals under sections 110 and 301, and subchapter I, 
    part D of the 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 flexibility analysis would constitute 
    Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of State action. The 
    Act forbids EPA to base its actions concerning sip's on such grounds. 
    See Union Electric Co. v. U.S. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 
    U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).
    
    C. Unfunded Mandates
    
        Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 
    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 private sector, of $100 
    million or more. Under section 205, EPA must select the most cost-
    effective and least burdensome alternative that
    
    [[Page 27966]]
    
    achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with statutory 
    requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan for 
    informing and advising any small governments that may be significantly 
    or uniquely impacted by the rule.
        The EPA has determined that the approval action 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 approves preexisting 
    requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new 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 Act, petitions for judicial review 
    of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
    the appropriate circuit by July 21, 1997. 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).
