    I. Proposed Action

    On September 18, 2020 (85 FR 58310), the EPA proposed a partial approval and partial disapproval of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality's (ADEQ) June 22, 2017 submittal of MCAQD's Analysis of Reasonably Available Control Technology for The 2008 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) State Implementation Plan (RACT SIP) and the associated negative declarations. On January 28, 2020 (85 FR 4928), the EPA proposed to conditionally approve MCAQD Rule 336 Surface Coating Operations and associated portions of the RACT Demonstration.

    MCAQD's RACT SIP provides the County's demonstration that the applicable SIP for the MCAQD satisfies CAA section 182 RACT requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. This conclusion is based on the County's analysis of SIP-approved requirements that apply to the following: (1) Source categories for which the EPA has issued a Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) document, and (2) major non-CTG stationary sources of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or oxides of nitrogen (NOX).

    With respect to CTG source categories, MCAQD determined that it had sources subject to the CTGs covering solvent metal cleaning, industrial cleaning solvents, miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coating, can coating, fabric coating, film and foil coating, rotogravure and flexography, lithographic printing and letter press printing, wood furniture manufacturing operations, storage of petroleum liquids, tank truck gasoline loading terminals, bulk gasoline plants, gasoline tank trucks and vapor collection systems, and gasoline service stations. MCAQD submitted for SIP approval six rules to implement RACT for these CTG categories: Rules 336, 342, 350, 351, 352, and 353.

    On February 26, 2020 (85 FR 10986), the EPA conditionally approved Rules 350, 351, 352, and 353 into the SIP, and also conditionally approved the associated CTG source categories for the MCAQD 2016 RACT SIP: “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Storage of Petroleum Liquids in Fixed-Roof Tanks” (EPA-450/2-77-036), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Petroleum Liquid Storage in External Floating Roof Tanks” (EPA-450/2-78-047), “Control of Hydrocarbons from Tank Truck Gasoline Loading Terminals” (EPA-450/2-77-026), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Bulk Gasoline Plants” (EPA-450/2-77-035), “Control of Volatile Organic Compound Leaks from Gasoline Tank Trucks and Vapor Collection Systems” (EPA-450/2-78-051), and “Design Criteria for Stage I Vapor Control Systems—Gasoline Service Stations” (EPA-450/R-75-102). MCAQD has committed to correct the EPA's identified deficiencies, and ADEQ has committed to submit the updated rules within one year of the EPA's final conditional approval. If MCAQD corrects the identified deficiencies and the EPA approves the updated rules, MCAQD will have met its RACT obligation for these rules, and the associated CTGs. We are not acting on rules 350, 351, 352, and 353, or the associated CTG categories in the MCAQD's 2016 RACT SIP in this action.

    On August 27, 2019 (84 FR 44701), the EPA approved Rule 342 into the SIP, finding that the rule met current RACT. This rulemaking also approved Rule 337, which had been submitted earlier and was not part of the 2016 RACT SIP submittal. Although we approved Rules 337 and 342, and found that they established RACT level controls, we did not in that action approve the 2016 RACT SIP for the associated CTG source categories. On September 18, 2020 (85 FR 58310), the EPA proposed to find that Rules 331, 337, and 342 establish RACT-level controls for the sources within the following CTG source categories: “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Solvent Metal Cleaning” (EPA-450/2-77-022), “Control Techniques Guidelines: Industrial Cleaning Solvents” (EPA-453/R-06-001), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume VIII: Graphic Arts—Rotogravure and Flexography” (EPA-430/2-78-033) and “Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing” (EPA-453/R06-002), and “Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations” (EPA-453/R-96-007).

    On January 28, 2020 (85 FR 4928), the EPA proposed conditional approval of Rule 336 into the SIP, as well as conditional approval of the associated eight CTG source categories for the County's 2016 RACT SIP: “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume II: Surface Coating of Cans, Coils, Paper, Fabrics, Automobiles, and Light-Duty Trucks” (EPA-450/2-77-008), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume III: Surface Coating of Metal Furniture” (EPA-450/2-77-032), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume V: Surface Coating of Large Appliances” (EPA-450/2-77-034), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume VI: Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products” (EPA-450/2-78-15), “Control Techniques Guidelines for Metal Furniture Coatings” (EPA-Start Printed Page 973453/R-07-005), “Control Techniques Guidelines for Large Appliance Coatings” (EPA-453/R07-004), “Control Techniques Guidelines for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings” (EPA-453/R-08-003), and “Control Techniques Guidelines For Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings” (EPA-453/R-07-003). MCAQD has committed to correct the EPA's identified deficiencies, and ADEQ has committed to submit the updated rule within one year of the EPA's final conditional approval. If MCAQD corrects the identified deficiencies and the EPA approves the updated rule, the County will have met its RACT obligation for this rule, and the associated CTGs.

    On September 18, 2020 (85 FR 58310), we proposed to approve negative declarations, including negative declarations for some of the source categories covered by Rule 336. Specifically, of eight CTG source categories addressed by Rule 336 (as listed in the prior paragraph), our September proposal proposed to approve negative declarations for five of them: “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume III: Surface Coating of Metal Furniture” (EPA-450/2-77-032), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume V: Surface Coating of Large Appliances” (EPA-450/2-77-034), “Control Techniques Guidelines for Metal Furniture Coatings” (EPA-453/R-07-005), “Control Techniques Guidelines for Large Appliance Coatings” (EPA-453/R07-004), and “Control Techniques Guidelines For Paper, Film, and Foil Coatings” (EPA-453/R-07-003). In addition, it proposed approval of negative declarations for the coils, paper, automobile and light-duty truck portions of the CTG “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources— Volume II: Surface Coating of Cans, Coils, Paper, Fabrics, Automobiles, and Light-Duty Trucks” (EPA-450/2-77-008). In the same notice, the EPA also proposed to disapprove negative declarations for the Aerospace Coating and Industrial Adhesives source categories, because there are applicable sources in the Maricopa County portion of the Phoenix-Mesa ozone nonattainment area.

    With respect to major non-CTG stationary sources of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or oxides of nitrogen (NOX), MCAQD determined it had RACT rules covering these sources. On September 18, 2020 (85 FR 58310), the EPA proposed to approve the County's RACT determination that it has RACT rules covering major non-CTG sources of VOC and proposed to disapprove the RACT determination that it has RACT rules covering major sources of NOX.

    The proposed actions and associated technical support documents contain more information on the basis for this rulemaking and on our evaluation of the submittal.

    II. EPA Action

    The EPA's proposed actions provided 30-day public comment periods. During the comment periods for the two proposed actions, we received no comments. Therefore, as authorized in section 110(k)(4) of the Act, the EPA is conditionally approving into the Arizona SIP, Rule 336 and MCAQD's RACT Demonstration for the 2008 8-hr ozone NAAQS with respect to the following Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs), as described in our proposal:

    1. “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume II: Surface Coating of Cans, Coils, Paper, Fabrics, Automobiles, and Light-Duty Trucks” EPA-450/2-77-008, May 1977, cans and fabrics portions only.[1]

    2. “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume VI: Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products,” EPA-450/2-78-15, June 1978.

    3. “Control Techniques Guidelines for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings,” EPA-453/R-08-003, September 2008.[2]

    If the MCAQD and the ADEQ submit the required rule revisions to Rule 336 by the specified deadline, and the EPA approves the submission, then the identified deficiencies will be cured. However, if MCAQD, through the ADEQ, fails to submit these revisions to Rule 336 within the required timeframe, the conditional approval will be treated as a disapproval for Rule 336 and the RACT demonstration for the three CTG categories listed above.

    Also, as authorized in sections 110(k)(3) and 301(a) of the Act, the EPA is finalizing a partial approval and partial disapproval of the remainder of the RACT SIP and associated negative declarations, as proposed.

    We are finalizing a partial disapproval with respect to the portions of the RACT SIP addressing RACT for major sources of NOX, and CTG source categories for Aerospace Coating and Industrial Adhesives (“National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories: Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework” (59 FR 29216), “Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Coating Operations at Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Operations” (EPA-453/R-97-004), and “Control Techniques Guidelines for Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives” (EPA-453/R-08-005)). As a result of the final partial disapproval, offset sanctions will be imposed unless the EPA approves a subsequent SIP revision that corrects the identified deficiencies within 18 months of the effective date of this action. Highway sanctions will be imposed unless the EPA approves a subsequent SIP revision that corrects the rule deficiencies within 24 months of the effective date of this action. These sanctions will be imposed under section 179 of the CAA and 40 CFR 52.31. Additionally, section 110(c) requires the EPA to promulgate a federal implementation plan within 24 months unless we approve subsequent SIP revisions that correct the deficiencies.

    The EPA is finalizing a partial approval of the RACT SIP with respect to all remaining source categories, as proposed. This includes approval of the County's negative declarations, with the exception of the three disapproved negative declarations, and the County's RACT certifications for the following CTG source categories: “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Solvent Metal Cleaning” (EPA-450/2-77-022), “Control Techniques Guidelines: Industrial Cleaning Solvents” (EPA-453/R-06-001), “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume VIII: Graphic Arts—Rotogravure and Flexography” (EPA-430/2-78-033) and “Offset Lithographic Printing and Letterpress Printing” (EPA-453/R06-002), and “Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations” (EPA-453/R-96-007).

    III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR Start Printed Page 97451.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the MCAQD rule described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the EPA's conditional approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.[3] The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

    IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at http://www.epa.gov/​laws-regulations/​laws-and-executive-orders.

    A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review.

    B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Costs

    This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action because this action is not significant under Executive Order 12866.

    C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under the PRA, because this SIP partial approval, partial disapproval, and partial conditional approval does not in-and-of itself create any new information collection burdens, but simply partially approves, partially disapproves, and partially conditionally approves certain State requirements for inclusion in the SIP.

    D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This action will not impose any requirements on small entities. This SIP partial approval partial disapproval, and partial conditional approval does not in-and-of itself create any new requirements but simply partially approves, partially disapproves, and partially conditionally approves certain pre-existing State requirements for inclusion in the SIP.

    E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action partially approves, partially disapproves, and partially conditionally approves pre-existing 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.

    F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It 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.

    G. Executive Order 13175: Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175, because the SIP revision that the EPA is partially approving, partially disapproving, and partially conditionally approving would not apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction, and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

    H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of “covered regulatory action” in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because this SIP partial approval, partial disapproval, and partial conditional approval does not in-and-of itself create any new regulations, but simply partially approves, partially disapproves, and partially conditionally approves certain pre-existing State requirements for inclusion in the SIP.

    I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

    J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Section 12(d) of the NTTAA directs the EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. The EPA believes that this action is not subject to the requirements of section 12(d) of the NTTAA because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA.

    K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    The EPA lacks the discretionary authority to address environmental justice in this rulemaking.

    L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

    M. 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 March 8, 2021. 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)).

    (3) The EPA is conditionally approving portions of the Arizona SIP revisions submitted on June 22, 2017. The conditional approval is based upon the February 25, 2019 commitment from the State to submit a SIP revision consisting of rule revisions that will cure the identified deficiencies within twelve (12) months after the EPA's conditional approval. If the State fails to meet its commitment, the conditional approval will be treated as a disapproval with respect to the rules and CTG categories for which the corrections are not met. The following MCAQD rules and additional materials are conditionally approved:

    (i) Rule 336, Surface Coating Operations;

    (ii) The RACT demonstration titled “Analysis of Reasonably Available Control Technology for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) State Implementation Plan (RACT SIP),” only those portions of the document claiming RACT was met for the following CTG source categories, “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume VI: Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products,” EPA-450/2-78-15, June 1978, “Control Techniques Guidelines for Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings,” EPA-453/R-08-003, September 2008, and “Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Existing Stationary Sources—Volume II: Surface Coating of Cans, Coils, Paper, Fabrics, Automobiles, and Light-Duty Trucks” EPA-450/2-77-008, May 1977 (cans and fabrics categories, only).

    2.  Our January 28, 2020 proposal also noted that the deficiencies in Rule 336 were not consistent with the 2007 CTGs for Metal Furniture and Large Appliance Coatings (85 FR at 4930). However, our September 18, 2020 proposal proposed to approve negative declarations for these two source categories. This final action approves these negative declarations. Therefore, the RACT SIP is fully approved with respect to these CTG source categories, and they are not included within the scope of the conditional approval of the RACT demonstration for CTG source categories associated with Rule 336.
