Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Revisions to Allegheny County Articles XX and XXI
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to the
Allegheny County portion of the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan
(SIP). EPA is approving a recodification of Allegheny County's air
pollution control regulations, from Article XX to Article XXI. EPA is
also approving revisions of Allegheny County's Article XXI regulations
pertaining to general administrative provisions, emissions standards,
emergency episode plans, test methods, and the permitting provisions
for new and modified sources. At the same time, EPA is approving
definitions associated with the Article XXI provisions. In addition,
EPA is removing from the SIP outdated and outmoded Article XX
provisions which are no longer codified in Article XXI. EPA is
approving these revisions in accordance with the requirements of the
Clean Air Act.
DATES: This rule is effective on January 13, 2003 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by December 16,
2002. If EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform
the public that the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On October 30, 1998, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania submitted a
formal revision to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP
revision consists of the following:
1. A recodification of the air pollution control regulations for
the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) from Article XX to
Article XXI. These regulations pertain to general administrative
provisions, emissions standards, emergency episode plans, test methods,
and the permitting provisions for new and modified sources.
2. New and revised general or administrative Provisions.
3. Revised provisions governing reporting, testing, and monitoring.
4. New and revised Permit provisions for new and modified sources.
5. Revised provisions governing control of particulate matter (PM).
6. Revised provisions governing control of sulfur dioxides
(SO2).
7. New and revised provisions governing control of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC).
8. New and revised provisions governing enforcement of the Article
XXI requirements.
The recodification consists of moving the SIP-approved air
pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI. Article
XXI rules initially became effective on January 1, 1994. On June 12,
1996 (61 FR 29664), EPA initially approved the structure of Article XXI
as well as some definitions and regulations as part of the Allegheny
County portion of the Pennsylvania SIP, and incorporated this article
by the reference into the SIP at Sec. 52.2020(c)(92).
[[Page 68936]]
The comprehensive restructuring of ACHD's air pollution control
regulations from Article XX to Article XXI became effective October 20,
1995. Pennsylvania provided documentation showing that ACHD held public
hearings on all of the above-described revisions on September 6, 1995,
in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
The Article XXI provisions which Pennsylvania submitted on behalf
of Allegheny County in this action are summarized below. Many of these
revisions consist of renumbering changes, or administrative changes,
associated with the reorganization of Allegheny County's air pollution
control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI. This Article also
contains air pollution control regulations which historically have not
been included in the Allegheny County SIP because they pertain to
provisions not related to the control of the criteria pollutants
regulated under the SIP. The Article XXI provisions being reviewed in
this SIP revision action and the current SIP citations found in Article
XX are summarized as follows:

In addition, Pennsylvania has requested EPA to remove from the
Allegheny County SIP certain Article XX provisions which are not being
incorporated into Article XXI. Allegheny County has removed these
provisions because they are outdated, outmoded, and remove references
to sources which are permanently shut down. These provisions are:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Evaluation of SIP Revision
In addition to the recodification of Allegheny County's air
pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI, and the
removal of outdated and outmoded Article XX regualtions, Pennsylvania's
October 30, 1998 SIP revision also contains several substantive changes
to the new Article XXI regulations:
1. They adopt regulations governing source categories of VOC
emissions which are consistent with the emission limits and the scope
of sources subject to the requirements of the SIP-approved Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) rules (Air Resources,
Chapter 129).
2. They update the applicable new source review and permitting
provisions.
3. They add new provisions governing general Federal conformity
procedures.
4. They update the applicable test methods and air pollution
episode provisions.
5. They update the applicable general enforcement provisions, and
remove compliance schedules whose final compliance dates have passed.
EPA has evaluated the revisions to Article XXI submitted by
Pennsylvania on behalf of ACHD, and has concluded that they are
consistent with the current Pennsylvania SIP requirements. EPA has also
determined that the Article XXI provisions conform with the applicable
Federal statutory and regulatory requirements, strengthen Allegheny
County's enforcement procedures, and will not adversely impact ambient
air quality levels. Furthermore, EPA has determined that the removal of
the Article XX provisions described in this action will not adversely
impact ambient air quality levels or Federal enforceability. EPA's
evaluation is summarized as follows:
Ozone
Allegheny County has added several Article XXI regulations
governing source categories which are currently controlled under the
comparable SIP-approved VOC regulations found in Chapter 129 of the
PADEP air pollution control regulations. These categories are wood
cabinet and furniture coating, gasoline dispensing facilities (Stage II
vapor recovery), petroleum refineries, pharmaceutical products, and
manufacture of pneumatic rubber tires. EPA has reviewed the Article XXI
VOC regulations, and has concluded that they are consistent with the
requirements in terms of emissions limits and scope of sources subject
to the comparable Chapter 129 rules. Allegheny County has also amended
the regulation applicable to synthetic organic chemical and polymer
manufacturing--fugitive sources which provides that any alternative
control plan must first be approved by EPA before it becomes County-
enforceable. Allegheny County has also removed the ambient air quality
standard for hydrocarbons, which EPA determines to be consistent with
the removal of the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for
hydrocarbons from 40 CFR part 50.
Particulate Matter
The PM control measures included in this action update the
emergency episode plans, and make negligible
[[Page 68939]]
changes to the overall control strategy by adding open land to the list
of premises subject to 2105.40. These revisions also remove references
to Shenango, Incorporated--Neville Island's Blast Furnaces A and B.
Allegheny County states in this SIP revision submittal that these
sources no longer exist, and are not carried by the current emissions
inventory.
Sulfur Dioxide
The SO2 control measures included in this action update
the emergency episode plans. The revisions also remove references to
sources which have permanently shut down, such as the open hearth
furnaces and Carrie Furnace Boilers 3 and 4 at the
United States Steel Corporation's Homestead Works. This revision also
removes the coke oven gas requirement which had applied to the
Shenango, Incorporated--Neville Island's Coke Oven Battery 4
Facility. Allegheny County states in this SIP revision submittal that
these sources no longer exist, and are not carried by the current
emissions inventory.
Lead
EPA is approving the addition of Allegheny County's ambient air
quality standard for lead (1.5 micrograms per cubic meter, averaged
over a 3-month period) to the chart found in Section 2101.09. EPA has
determined that this standard is consistent with the NAAQS for lead
found in 40 CFR 50.12.
General Administration and Enforcement
With regard to Allegheny County's general administration and
enforcement provisions, this SIP revision consists of removing outdated
and outmoded provisions, recodifying the existing SIP-approved
provisions from Article XX to Article XXI, reorganizing these
provisions within the structure of Article XXI, and updating the test
methods and compliance determination provisions. In addition, Allegheny
County's Article XXI rules strengthen the provisions related to
confidentiality of emissions data, notification of breakdowns, and
permit appeals.
New Source Review and Permitting
Allegheny County has recodified its permitting requirements from
Article XX, Chapter VIII to the following Parts in Article XXI: Part B
(Permits Generally), Part C (Operating Permits), and Part A, Section
2101.20 (Definitions). In addition, Allegheny County has submitted many
new and revised permitting and new source review provisions to the
aforementioned Article XXI provisions when compared to the SIP-approved
Article XX, Chapter VIII provisions. EPA has determined that Allegheny
County has adopted these revisions in order to both conform with the
revised new source review and permitting requirements of the 1990 Clean
Air Act, as amended and conform with similar revised requirements
adopted by the PADEP and approved by EPA as revisions to the
Pennsylvania SIP.
General Conformity
Allegheny County has added Regulation 2109.20 (General Federal
Conformity) to Article XXI. This new regulation, which applies to
departments, agencies or instrumentalities of the Federal government,
as well as related activities supported, financially assisted,
licensed, permitted, or approved by the Federal government,
incorporates by reference both the regulations promulgated by EPA in 40
CFR part 51, subpart W and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's
regulations set forth at 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127.
IV. Final Action
Based on EPA's evaluation, EPA is approving the October 30, 1998
revisions to Allegheny County Articles XX and XXI described in this
action as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. The incorporation of
Article XXI into the SIP allow the citations of Federally enforceable
SIP regulations to be consistent with the current Allegheny County
regulations. At the same time, EPA is approving the removal from the
Allegheny County SIP of Article XX, Regulations 304, 306.B., 512, 902,
903, and the definitions of Regulation 101 listed earlier in this
document.
EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no
adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's
Federal Register, 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 on January 13, 2003 without further
notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by December 16, 2002. If EPA
receives adverse comment, 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. 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.
V. Administrative Requirements
A. General Requirements
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),
[[Page 68940]]
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.).
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
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. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
C. 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 January 13, 2003. 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 regarding revisions to Allegheny County
Articles XX and XXI may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
