ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52
SC-200906; FRL-9286-2
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
South Carolina; Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change.
SUMMARY: EPA is publishing this action to provide the public with notice of the update to the South Carolina State Implementation Plan
(SIP) compilation. In particular, materials submitted by South Carolina that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the South Carolina SIP are being updated to reflect EPA-approved revisions to South Carolina's
SIP that have occurred since the last update. In this action, EPA is also notifying the public of the correction of certain typographical errors.
DATES: This action is effective April 25, 2011.
ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, GA 30303; the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, EPA Headquarters Library, Infoterra Room (Room
Number 3334), EPA West Building, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20460, and the National Archives and Records
Administration. If you wish to obtain materials from a docket in the
EPA Headquarters Library, please call the Office of Air and Radiation
(OAR) Docket/Telephone number: (202) 566-1742. For information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Nacosta C. Ward at the above
Region 4 address or at (404) 562-9140. Ms. Ward may also be contacted via electronic mail at: ward.nacosta@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each state has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring networks, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms.
Each state must formally adopt the control measures and strategies in the SIP after the public has had an opportunity to comment on them and then submit the SIP to EPA. Once these control measures and strategies are approved by EPA, after notice and comment, they are incorporated into the federally approved SIP and are identified in part 52 ``Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans,'' Title 40 of the CFR (40 CFR part 52). The full text of the state regulation approved by EPA is not reproduced in its entirety in 40 CFR part 52, but is ``incorporated by reference.'' This means that EPA has approved a given state regulation with a specific effective date. The public is referred to the location of the full text version should they want to know which measures are contained in a given SIP. The information provided allows EPA and the public to monitor the extent to which a state implements a SIP to attain and maintain the NAAQS and to take enforcement action if necessary.
The SIP is a living document which the state can revise as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the state.
Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised regulations as being part of the SIP. On
May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference, into the CFR, materials submitted by states in their EPA-approved SIP revisions. These changes revised the format for the identification of the SIP in 40 CFR part 52, streamlined the mechanisms for announcing EPA approval of revisions to a SIP, and streamlined the mechanisms for EPA's updating of the IBR information contained for each SIP in 40 CFR part 52. The revised procedures also called for EPA to maintain ``SIP Compilations'' that contain the federally approved regulations and source specific permits submitted by each state agency. These SIP Compilations are contained in 3-ring binders and are updated primarily on an annual basis. Under the revised procedures, EPA is to periodically publish an informational document in the rules section of the Federal Register when updates are made to a
SIP Compilation for a particular state. EPA's 1997 revised procedures were formally applied to South Carolina on July 1, 1997 (62 FR 35441).
This action represents EPA's publication of the South Carolina SIP
Compilation update, appearing in 40 CFR part 52. In addition, notice is provided for the following typographical corrections to Tables (c),
(d), and (e) of paragraph 52.2120, as described below: 1. Correcting typographical errors listed in paragraphs 52.2120(c), (d), and (e) removing all periods after the Federal
Register notice citation. 2. Revising the date format listed in paragraphs 52.2120(c),
(d), and (e). Revise the date format in the ``state effective date,'' and ``EPA approval date,'' columns for consistency. Dates are numerical month/day/year without additional zeros. 3. Restoring all missing entries in table (e). 4. In paragraph (c), the following revisions: a. Capitalizing the word ``subject'' in the column header
``Title/Subject;'' b. Underlining the words ``Federal'' and ``Register'' and capitalizing the letter ``r'' in the word ``register'' in the column entitled ``Federal Register notice'' for consistency within the paragraph and the Federal Register rulemakings. c. Revising the format of paragraph (c) by removing the second entry of ``Regulation No. 62.1 Definitions and General
Requirements'' and creating rows for all Parts contained in
Regulation 62.5, Standard No. 5, Volatile Organic Compounds,
``Section I--General Provisions'' and ``Section II--Provisions for
Specific Sources.'' d. Inserting the ``State effective date,'' ``EPA approval date,'' and ``Federal Register notice'' citation to read in the correct columns for Regulation No. 62.2 ``Prohibition of Open
Burning.'' e. Correcting the ``Title/Subject'' under Regulation 62.5 for: i. Standard No. 1, ``Section II--Particulate Matter Emissions;'' ii. Standard No. 5, ``Section II--Provisions for Specific
Sources'' 1. Part C--Surface Coating of Paper, Vinyl, and Fabric 2. Part D--Surface Coating of Metal Furniture, and Large
Appliances 3. Part F--Surface Coating of Miscellaneous Metal Parts and

(NOX)'' after ``Standard No. 5--Volatile Organic
Compounds'' to restore correct numerical order. j. Removing duplicate entries of Regulation 62.5, Standard No. 4
``Section V--Cotton Gins'' and ``Section VIII--Other
Manufacturing.''
EPA has determined that today's action falls under the ``good cause'' exemption in the section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes agencies to dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3) which allows an agency to make an action effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). Today's administrative action simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved state programs and corrects typographical errors appearing the Federal
Register. Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are ``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Public comment for this administrative action is
``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public interest'' since the codification (and typographical corrections) only reflect existing law.
Immediate notice of this action in the Federal Register benefits the public by providing the public notice of the updated South Carolina SIP
Compilation and notice of typographical corrections to the South
Carolina ``Identification of Plan'' portion of the Federal Register.
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
-
General Requirements
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this administrative action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget.
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. 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 as indicated in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section above, 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 (UMRA) of 1995 (Pub. L. 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 administrative action also does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it 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 administrative action also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant. This administrative 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. The administrative action also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This administrative action does not impose an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
EPA's compliance with these Statutes and Executive Orders for the underlying rules are discussed in previous actions taken on the State's rules.
-
Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act (CRA) (5 U.S.C. 801 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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. Today's administrative action simply codifies (and corrects) provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved state programs. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). These announced actions were effective when
EPA approved them through previous rulemaking actions. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other required information to the
U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to publication of this action in the
Federal Register. This update to South Carolina's SIP Compilation and correction of typographical errors is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
-
Petitions for Judicial Review
EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. This action is simply an
Page 22819
announcement of prior rulemakings that have previously undergone notice and comment rulemaking. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the South Carolina SIP compilation previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action.
