Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Utah; Rule Recodification

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Governor of Utah on September 20, 1999 and February 5, 2001. The September 20, 1999 submittal revises the numbering and format of the Utah Administrative Code (UAC) rules within Utah's SIP. The February 5, 2001 submittal restores a paragraph that was inadvertently deleted from Utah's rules when the State submitted their SIP submittal dated September 20, 1999 that renumbered the UAC rules. The intended effect of this action is to make these provisions federally enforceable. In addition, the approval of Utah's SIP revision dated September 20, 1999 supersedes and replaces previous SIP revisions submitted by Utah on October 26, 2000, September 7, 1999, two SIP revisions submitted February 6, 1996, and one submitted on January 27, 1995. Some of the provisions of the rules submitted in Utah's SIP revisions will be addressed at a later date by more recent SIP actions that have been submitted which supersede and replace the earlier SIP submittal actions. EPA will be removing Utah's Asbestos Work Practices, Contractor Certification, AHERA Accreditation and AHERA Implementation rule R307-1-8 and Eligibility of Pollution Control Expenditures for Sales Tax Exemption rule R307-1-6 from Utah's federally enforceable SIP because these rules are not generally related to attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and are therefore not required to be in Utah's SIP. Finally, EPA will be removing Utah's National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) rule R307-1-4.12. Utah has delegation of authority for NESHAPs in 40 CFR part 61 (49 FR 36368), pursuant to 110(k)(6) of the Act, therefore we are removing the existing language (R307-1-4.12) that was approved into Utah's current SIP because it is no longer required to be in the SIP. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on March 16, 2006.

2. Summary of Final Action

   On October 13, 2005 EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Utah (70 FR 59681). The NPR proposed approval of the recodification of the UAC rules that had previously been approved into Utah's SIP, removed from Utah's SIP rule language that is obsolete or is generally not related to attainment of the NAAQS and is therefore not appropriate to be in Utah's SIP and arranged rules to allow for a more coherent SIP structure. The formal SIP revisions were submitted by

   [[Page 7680]]

   the State of Utah on February 5, 2001, October 26, 2000, September 20, 1999, September 7, 1999, two SIP revisions submitted February 6, 2001 and one submitted January 27, 1995. A summary of these SIP submittals follows.

   The September 20, 1999 submittal revises the numbering and format of the UAC rules within Utah's SIP. The renumbering and reformatting of the UAC rules within Utah's SIP provides for a more consistent numbering system and a coherent structure allowing provisions to be located more easily within Utah's rules. Some provisions of the rules submitted in Utah's SIP revision dated September 20, 1999 will be addressed at a later date. The following identifies the renumbered rule sections we are approving as replacing the prior numbered rule sections: R307-101-1 and 2 with the exception of the definitions for ``actual emissions,'' ``major modification,'' ``part 70 source,'' ``significant,'' and ``volatile organic compound'' effective September 15, 1998; R307-102-1 through R307-102-6 effective September 15, 1998 and R307-102-1(2) effective August 3, 2000; R307-105-1 and R307-105-2 effective September 15, 1998, R307-107-1 through R307-107-6 effective September 15, 1998; R307-110-1 through R307-110-9, R307-110-11, R307- 110-13 through R307-110-15, R307-110-18, R307-110-20 through R307-110- 28, R307-110-30, and R307-110-32 effective September 15, 1998; R307-115 effective September 15, 1998; R307-130-1 through R307-130-4 effective September 15, 1998; R307-165-1 through R307-165-4 effective September 15, 1998; R307-201-1 through R307-201-3 effective September 15, 1998; R307-202-1 through R307-202-6 effective September 15, 1998; R307-203-1 through R307-203-3 effective September 15, 1998; R307-206-1 through R307-206-5 effective September 15, 1998; R307-301-1, R307-301-2, and R307-301-4 through R307-301-14 effective November 12, 1998; R307-302-1, R307-302-2 and R307-302-4 effective September 15, 1998; R307-305-1 through R307-305-7 effective September 15, 1998; R307-307-1 through R307-307-3 effective September 15, 1998; R307-325-1 through R307-325-4 effective September 15, 1998; R307-326-1 through R307-326-7 effective September 15, 1998; R307-327-1 through R307-327-3 effective September 15, 1998; R307-328-1 through R307-328-5 effective September 15, 1998; R307-335-1 through R307-335-4 effective September 15, 1998; R307-340-1 through R307-340-13 effective September 15, 1998; R307-341-1 through R307-341-3 effective September 15, 1998; R307-342-1 through R307-342-7 effective September 15, 1998; R307-401-9 and R307-401-10(1) effective September 15, 1998; R307-403-1 through R307-403-9 effective September 15, 1998; R307-405-1 through R307-405-8 effective September 15, 1998; R307-406-1 through R307-406-6 effective September 15, 1998; R307-413-7 effective September 15, 1998; and R307-414-1 through R307-414-3 effective September 15, 1998. These rules have only been renumbered, contain non-substantive changes to the rule that do not affect the meaning of the rule and/or have been modified to move definitions that have already been approved into the SIP to specific rule sections in which the definitions apply.

   We are not acting to approve Utah's SIP submittal dated September 7, 1999 that deletes rule R307-150-1 (existing rule number R307-1-2.2) and rule R307-150-2 (existing rule number R307-1-3.1.7) because the renumbering of these rules have never been approved into the SIP and have since been superseded and replaced by Utah's SIP submittal dated February 5, 2001 and October 9, 1998. Rule R307-150-1 is restored to its appropriate rule section in Utah's SIP submittal dated February 5, 2001 which we are acting to approve in this action. Rule R307-150-2 will be addressed at a later date when EPA addresses Utah's SIP submittal dated October 9, 1998.

   We are not acting to approve Utah's SIP submittal dated February 6, 1996 that pertains to Utah's rule R307-2 and portions of Utah's SIP submittal dated February 6, 1996 that pertains to rule R307-1-4. These SIP submittals and portions thereof are superseded and replaced by Utah's September 20, 1999 SIP submittal that is being approved in this action.

   We are approving a portion of Utah's SIP submittal dated January 27, 1995 that pertains to Utah's rules R307-1-2.3.2, R307-1-3.1.4, and R307-1-3.2.3. Utah's rule R307-1-2.3.2 (renumbered to R307-102-4(1)) adds a reference to Utah's Code to clarify where to find further information regarding Utah's variance rule. Utah's rule R307-1-3.2.3 deletes provisions for special testing because the provisions are obsolete. We will not be addressing Utah's rule R307-1-3.1.4 or R307-1- 3.2.3 in this notice. R307-1-3.1.4 will be addressed at a later date when EPA addresses Utah's SIP submittal dated October 9, 1998 and rule R307-1-3.2.3 will be addressed at a later date when EPA addresses Utah's PM10 maintenance plan for Utah and Salt Lake County.

   We are approving the removal of Utah's asbestos rule R307-1-8 and rule R307-1-6 pertaining to Utah's eligibility of pollution control expenditures for sales tax exemption from Utah's federally enforceable SIP because these rules are not generally related to attainment of the NAAQS and are therefore not appropriate to be in Utah's SIP. We are also not acting on Utah's SIP submittal dated October 26, 2000 because the SIP pertains to changes being made to Utah's asbestos rule R307-1-8 that we are removing from Utah's SIP in this action. We are also approving the removal of Utah's rule R307-1-4.12 titled ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants''. Utah has delegation of authority for NESHAPs in 40 CFR part 61 (49 FR 36368), pursuant to 110(k)(6) of the Act, therefore we are removing the existing language (R307-1-4.12) that was approved into Utah's current SIP because it is no longer required to be in the SIP.

   EPA is not acting to approve the follow rules or portions of these rule for reasons stated under section III.B of the NPR (70 FR 59681): R307-121, R307-122, R307-135, R307-214, R307-215, R307-220, R307-221, R307-320, R307-332, R307-410, R307-415, and R307-417.

   Finally, EPA is not acting on the following rules because they have been superseded and replaced by other Utah SIP submittals as explained in the NPR (70 FR 59681): Utah's SIP submittal dated February 16, 1996 titled ``Expansion of R307-2'' that recodified and expanded Utah's R307-2; portions of Utah's SIP submittal dated February 6, 1996 that recodifies Utah's Emission Standards rule(s) that pertain to subsections: R307-1-4.9 and R307-1-4.12; Utah's SIP submittal dated February 6, 1996 that recodifies Utah's Emission Standards rule R307-1- 4 that pertains to changes made in subsection R307-1-4.6; Utah's SIP submittal dated September 20, 1999 that pertain to rule sections R307- 110-10, R307-110-12, R307-110-16, R307-110-17, R307-110-19, R307-110- 29, R307-110-31, R307-110-33, R307-110-34, R307-110-35; Utah's SIP submittal dated September 20, 1999 that recodifies Utah's Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems rule R307-170; Utah's SIP submittal dated January 27, 1995 pertaining to rule R307-1-3.1.4 and rule R307-1-3.2.3: Utah's SIP submittal dated February 6, 1996 that recodifies Utah's Emission Standards rule R307-1-4 that pertains to changes made in

   [[Page 7681]]

   subsection R307-1-4.5; Utah's SIP submittal dated September 20, 1999 that recodifies Utah's rules includes rules R307-150 and rule R307-155; Utah's SIP submittal dated September 20, 1999 that recodifies Utah's rules includes rules R307-302-2(4) and R307-302-3; Utah's SIP submittal dated September 20, 1999 that pertain to the renumbering of rules R307- 401-1 through R307-401-8, R307-401-10(2) and R307-401-11; and Utah's SIP submittal dated September 20, 1999 that pertain to the renumbering of rules R307-413-1 through R307-413-6, R307-413-8 and R308-413-9. Additional information regarding EPA's action on the above rules can be found within the NPR that published on October 13, 2005 (70 FR 59681).

3. Summary of Public Comments and EPA's Response

   Comment: A comment received stated that certain sections of Utah's rule R307-110 had been previously approved by EPA and was not accurately reflected in the NPR under category 3, number 4. Specifically, Utah's rule section R307-110-12 was previously approved by EPA on August 1, 2005 (70 FR 44055) and again on September 14, 2005 (70 FR 54267). Section R307-110-31 was previously approved by EPA on October 9, 2002 (67 FR 62981). Section R307-110-34 was previously approved by EPA on September 12, 2002 (67 FR 57744). Finally section R307-110-35 was previously approved by EPA on September 14, 2005 (70 FR 54267).

   Response: The commenter is correct. However, as stated in the NPR (70 FR 59681), EPA does not intend to act on the Recodification of these specific rule sections in this action. Therefore, the corrections raised by the commenter are not relevant to this action and thus do not affect our approval.

   Comment: A comment received expressed concern that EPA intended to retain rule R307-2-18 within the SIP because EPA had yet to act on Utah's SIP submittal dated February 6, 1996 that would adopt rule R307- 110-29 which EPA stated in the NPR would replace R307-2-18. This is incorrect. Rule R307-2-18 has never been related to rule R307-110-29 that pertains to the diesel inspection and maintenance (I/M) SIP and has already been recodified with EPA's approval of R307-110-31. Therefore, EPA should not retain the old rule number R307-2-18.

   Response: The commenter is correct. Rule R307-2-18 has been superseded and replaced by EPA's approval of Utah's rule R307-110-31 (67 FR 62891) therefore, EPA will not be retaining the old rule number R307-2-18 in this action and R307-110-29 will be acted on when EPA acts on Utah's February 6, 1996 SIP as stated in the NPR (70 FR 59681).

   Comment: A comment received stated that rule R307-110-35 is listed twice within category 3, number 4 of the NPR (70 FR 59681) as a rule EPA will not be acting on because it has already been approved and is also listed as one that will be acted on at a later date.

   Response: The commenter is correct. However, as stated in the NPR (70 FR 59681), EPA does not intend to act on this specific rule section in this action. Therefore, the correction raised by the commenter is not relevant to this action and thus does not affect our approval.

   Comment: A comment received stated that under the NPR (70 FR 59681) category 3, number 8, where it states that rule sections R307-150-2 and R307-155 will be acted on at a later date when EPA takes action on an October 9, 1998 SIP submittal is incorrect because the October 9, 1998 SIP submittal has now been superseded by a December 12, 2003 SIP submittal.

   Response: The commenter is correct. However, as stated in the NPR (70 FR 59681), EPA does not intend to act on these specific rule sections in this action. Therefore, the correction raised by the commenter is not relevant to this action and thus does not affect our approval.

4. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

   Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).

   This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will 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). This action also does not have federalism implications because it does 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 action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.

   In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. 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 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 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 U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule

   [[Page 7682]]

   cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

   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 April 17, 2006. 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).)

This rule language pertains to the regulation of asbestos and is generally not related to attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and therefore it is not appropriate to be in Utah's SIP.
