Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; State of South Dakota; Revisions to the Administrative Rules of South Dakota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct Final rule and NSPS Delegation.

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of South Dakota on January 14, 2005. The January 14, 2005 submittal revises the Administrative Rules of South Dakota, Air Pollution Control Program, by modifying the chapters pertaining to definitions, ambient air quality, air quality episodes, operating permits for minor sources, regulated air pollutant emissions, new source review, performance testing, control of visible emissions, and continuous emission monitoring systems. In addition, the State made revisions to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program, which has been delegated to the State. The intended effect of this action is to make these revisions federally enforceable. We are also announcing that on March 23, 2005, we updated the delegation of authority for the implementation and enforcement of the New Source Performance Standards to the State of South Dakota. These actions are being taken under sections 110 and 111 of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This rule is effective on October 13, 2006 without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by September 13, 2006. If adverse comment is received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect.

  3. Summary of SIP Revision

    On January 14, 2005, the State of South Dakota submitted revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The specific revisions to the SIP contained in the January 14, 2005 submittal are explained below. The January 14, 2005 submittal also contained revisions to other sections of the Administrative Rules of South Dakota (ARSD) that are not part of the SIP. This rule does not address revisions to ARSD 74:36:05, 74:36:07, 74:36:08, or 74:36:16 that were part of the January 14, 2005 submittal.

    1. ARSD 74:36:01--Definitions

      ARSD 74:36:01 was revised to repeal the definitions for ``actual emissions'', ``major modification'', ``reconstruction of sources'', and ``significant''. These terms pertain to federal programs that the State adopts by reference and the Federal programs define these terms. The State adopts by reference the definitions for actual emissions and major modification in ARSD 74:36:10:02, the definition for reconstruction of sources in ARSD 74:36:07:01 and 74:36:08:01, and significant in ARSD 7436:09:02. Therefore, the State is repealing these definitions and has adopted by reference the Federal definitions. The State is deleting the definitions for ``Part 70'' and ``reference method'' since they are not used anywhere in article 74:36, and is revising the definition for ``permit modification'' to reflect that the term permit modification pertains to both Part 70 operating permits and minor operating permits. The State has revised the definitions for ``categories of sources'' and ``modification'' to make them equivalent to the federal definitions. In addition, the State has revised several definitions to update the incorporation of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to the July 1, 2003 CFR and has made minor typographical corrections.

    2. ARSD 74:36:02--Ambient Air Quality and ARSD 74:36:03--Air Quality Episodes

      The State has revised these sections to update the incorporation of the CFR to the July 1, 2003 CFR and has made minor typographical corrections.

    3. ARSD 74:36:04--Operating Permits for Minor Sources

      Subsection 74:36:04:04 contains the standard that is used to issue an operating permit. Both a new source and a permit modification must demonstrate that it will not interfere with the attainment or maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The State has revised this subsection to include the term permit modification which was not previously included. The State has also revised this section to update the incorporation of the CFR to the July 1, 2003 CFR and has made minor typographical corrections.

    4. ARSD 74:36:06--Regulated Air Pollutant Emissions

      Subsection 74:36:06:04 pertains to particulate emission restrictions for incinerators and wood waste burners. The State is revising this section to include a reference to chapter 74:36:08 to include emission limits from this chapter that apply to incinerators. The State is also revising subsection 74:36:06:06, which identifies those units that emit enough air pollutants to warrant a stack performance test to ensure compliance with state and federal air emission limits. Prior to this revision, this subsection only identified new units and a major modification as having to perform a stack test. The State is revising this section by removing the term ``major'' so that any modification will require a stack performance test to ensure compliance.

      [[Page 46405]]

    5. ARSD 74:36:10--New Source Review, ARSD 74:36:11--Performance Testing, ARSD 74:36:12--Control of Visible Emissions, and ARSD 74:36:13--Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems

      The State has revised these sections to update the incorporation of the CFR to the July 1, 2003 CFR and has made minor typographical corrections.

  4. Revisions to Delegated Programs

    1. ARSD 74:36:07--New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)

      The January 14, 2005 submittal by the State updated the effective date of the incorporated by reference NSPS to July 1, 2003. EPA is announcing that on March 23, 2005, we updated the delegation of authority for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS to the State. The March 23, 2005 letter of delegation to the State follows:

      Steven M. Pirner, Secretary, South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources, 523 East Capitol, Pierre, SD 57501-3182.

      Dear Mr. Pirner:

      On January 14, 2005, the State submitted a revision to the Air Pollution Control Program for South Dakota. Specifically, the state revised its rules to incorporate the July 1, 2003 Code of Federal Regulations. This revision, in effect, updates the citation of the incorporated Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) to July 1, 2003.

      Subsequent to states adopting NSPS regulations, EPA delegates the authority for the implementation and enforcement of those NSPS, so long as the state's regulations are equivalent to the Federal regulations. EPA reviewed the pertinent statutes and regulations of the State of South Dakota and determined that they provide an adequate and effective procedure for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS by the State of South Dakota. Therefore, pursuant to section 111(c) of the Clean Air Act (Act), as amended, and 40 CFR part 60, EPA hereby delegates its authority for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS to the State of South Dakota as follows:

      (A) Responsibility for all sources located, or to be located, in the State of South Dakota subject to the standards of performance for new stationary sources promulgated in 40 CFR part 60. The categories of new stationary sources covered by this delegation are all NSPS subparts in 40 CFR part 60, as in effect on July 1, 2003. Note this delegation does not include the emission guidelines in subparts Cb, Cc, Cd, Ce, BBBB and DDDD. These subparts require state plans which are approved under a separate process pursuant to section 111(d) of the Act.

      (B) Not all authorities of NSPS can be delegated to states under section 111(c) of the Act, as amended. The EPA Administrator retains authority to implement those sections of the NSPS that require: (1) Approving equivalency determinations and alternative test methods, (2) decision making to ensure national consistency, and (3) EPA rulemaking to implement. Therefore, of the NSPS of 40 CFR part 60 being delegated in this letter, the enclosure lists examples of sections in 40 CFR part 60 that cannot be delegated to the State of South Dakota.

      (C) The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and EPA will continue a system of communication sufficient to guarantee that each office is always fully informed and current regarding compliance status of the subject sources and interpretation of the regulations.

      (D) Enforcement of the NSPS in the state will be the primary responsibility of the DENR. If the DENR determines that such enforcement is not feasible and so notifies EPA, or where the DENR acts in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this delegation, EPA may exercise its concurrent enforcement authority pursuant to section 113 of the Act, as amended, with respect to sources within the State of South Dakota subject to NSPS.

      (E) The State of South Dakota will at no time grant a variance or waiver from compliance with NSPS regulations. Should DENR grant such a variance or waiver, EPA will consider the source receiving such relief to be in violation of the applicable Federal regulation and initiate enforcement action against the source pursuant to section 113 of the Act. The granting of such relief by the DENR shall also constitute grounds for revocation of delegation by EPA.

      (F) If at anytime there is a conflict between a state regulation and a Federal regulation (40 CFR part 60), the Federal regulation must be applied if it is more stringent than that of the state. If the state does not have the authority to enforce the more stringent Federal regulation, this portion of the delegation may be revoked.

      (G) If the Regional Administrator determines that a state procedure for enforcing or implementing the NSPS is inadequate, or is not being effectively carried out, this delegation may be revoked in whole or part. Any such revocation shall be effective as of the date specified in a Notice of Revocation to the DENR.

      (H) Acceptance of this delegation of presently promulgated NSPS does not commit the State of South Dakota to accept delegation of future standards and requirements. A new request for delegation will be required for any standards not included in the state's request of January 14, 2005.

      (I) Upon approval of the Regional Administrator of EPA Region VIII, the Secretary of DENR may subdelegate his/her authority to implement and enforce the NSPS to local air pollution control authorities in the state when such authorities have demonstrated that they have equivalent or more stringent programs in force.

      (J) The State of South Dakota must require reporting of all excess emissions from any NSPS source in accordance with 40 CFR 60.7(c).

      (K) Performance tests shall be scheduled and conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 60 unless alternate methods or procedures are approved by the EPA Administrator. Although the Administrator retains the exclusive right to approve equivalent and alternate test methods as specified in 40 CFR 60.8(b)(2) and (3), the state may approve minor changes in methodology provided these changes are reported to EPA Region VIII. The Administrator also retains the right to change the opacity standard as specified in 40 CFR 60.11(e).

      (L) Determinations of applicability such as those specified in 40 CFR 60.5 and 60.6 shall be consistent with those which have already been made by the EPA.

      (M) Alternatives to continuous monitoring procedures or reporting requirements, as outlined in 40 CFR 60.13(i), may be approved by the state with the prior concurrence of the Regional Administrator.

      (N) If a source proposes to modify its operation or facility which may cause the source to be subject to NSPS requirements, the state shall notify EPA Region VIII and obtain a determination on the applicability of the NSPS regulations.

      (O) Information shall be made available to the public in accordance with 40 CFR 60.9. Any records, reports, or information provided to, or otherwise obtained by, the state in accordance with the provisions of these regulations shall be made available to the designated representatives of EPA upon request.

      (P) All reports required pursuant to the delegated NSPS should not be submitted to the EPA Region VIII office, but rather to the DENR.

      (Q) As 40 CFR part 60 is updated, South Dakota should revise its regulations accordingly and in a timely manner and submit to EPA requests for updates to its delegation of authority.

      EPA is approving South Dakota's request for NSPS delegation for all areas within the State except for land within formal Indian reservations located within or abutting the State of South Dakota, including the: Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, Crow Creek Indian Reservation, Flandreau Indian Reservation, Lower Brule Indian Reservation, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Rosebud Indian Reservation, Standing Rock Indian Reservation, Yankton Indian Reservation, any land held in trust by the United States for an Indian tribe; and any other areas which are ``Indian Country'' within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1151.

      Since this delegation is effective immediately, there is no need for the state to notify the EPA of its acceptance. Unless we receive written notice of objections from you within ten days of the date on which you receive this letter, the State of South Dakota will be deemed to accept all the terms of this delegation. EPA will publish an information notice in the Federal Register in the near future to inform the public of this delegation, in which this letter will appear in its entirety.

      If you have any questions on this matter, please contact me or have your staff contact Richard Long, Director of our Air and Radiation Program. We can both be reached at (800) 227-8917.

      Sincerely yours,

      [[Page 46406]]

      CCCC.............................. 60.2030(c) identifies authorities in Subpart CCCC that cannot be delegated to the State.

    2. ARSD 74:36:09--Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)

      On July 6, 1994, EPA delegated the authority to South Dakota to implement and enforce the Federal PSD permitting regulations (see 59 FR 47260). In order to maintain their delegation for the implementation and enforcement of the PSD program, the State has made revisions to ARSD 74:36:09 to make it equivalent to EPA's regulations. The State has revised this chapter by removing the references to Federal Register notices published after July 1, 2002 and adding references to the July 1, 2003 CFR. The delegation of the PSD program to the State still carries the same terms of delegation as outlined in the 1994 Federal Register notice (59 FR 47260). In delegating the PSD program to the State, the State agrees to follow EPA's interpretations of the regulations, as articulated in regulatory preambles, guidance, and other Agency statements.

  5. Final Action

    EPA is approving revisions to the South Dakota SIP submitted by the State on January 14, 2005. The revisions we are approving are revisions to ARSD 74:36:01, 73:36:02, 74:36:03, 74:36:04, 74:36:06, 74:36:10, 74:36:11, 74:36:12, and 74:36:13. We are approving revisions to the delegated PSD program in ARSD 74:36:09. We are also announcing that on March 23, 2005, we updated the delegation of authority for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS to the State of South Dakota.

    Section 110(l) of the Clean Air Act states that a SIP revision cannot be approved if the revision would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress towards attainment of the NAAQS or any other applicable requirements of the Act. The South Dakota SIP revisions that are the subject of this document do not interfere with the maintenance of the NAAQS or any other applicable requirement of the Act because of the following: (1) The revisions to the SIP meet Federal requirements and allow the State to include the most recent version of Federal regulations; and (2) the NSPS delegation meets the requirements of section 111(c) of the CAA and 40 CFR part 60. Therefore, section 110(l) requirements are satisfied.

    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are filed. This rule will be effective October 13, 2006 without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments by September 13, 2006. If the EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

  6. Statutory and Executive Order Review

    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

    [[Page 46407]]

    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 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 October 13, 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.
