V. Administrative requirements
I. Background
Title V of the CAA Amendments of 1990 required all State permitting
authorities to develop operating permits programs that met certain
federal criteria codified at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
70. On November 30, 2001, we promulgated final full approval of 34
California districts' title V operating permits programs. See 66 FR
63503 (December 7, 2001). Our final rulemaking was challenged by
several environmental and community groups alleging that the full
approval was unlawful based, in part, on an exemption in section
42310(e) of the California Health and Safety Code of major agricultural
sources from title V permitting. EPA entered into a settlement of this
litigation which required, in part, that the Agency propose to
partially withdraw approval of the 34 fully approved title V programs
in California.
Sections 70.10(b) and 70.10(c) provide that EPA may withdraw a 40
CFR part 70 program approval, in whole or in part, whenever the
permitting authority's legal authority does not meet the requirements
of part 70 and the permitting authority fails to take corrective
action. To commence regulatory action to partially withdraw title V
program approval, EPA published a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) in the
Federal Register. See 67 FR 35990 (May 22, 2002). Pursuant to 40 CFR
70.10(b)(2), publication of the NOD commenced a 90-day period during
which the State of California had to take significant action to assure
adequate administration and enforcement of the
[[Page 65638]]
local districts' programs. As described in EPA's NOD, the Agency
determined that ``significant action'' in this instance meant the
revision or removal of California Health and Safety Code 42310(e), so
that the local air pollution control districts could adequately
administer and enforce the title V permitting program for stationary
agricultural sources that are major sources of air pollution.
During the 90-day period provided to the State to take the
necessary corrective action, EPA proposed to partially withdraw title V
program approval in each of the 34 California districts with full
program approval. See 67 FR 48426 (July 24, 2002). Since the State did
not take the necessary action to assure adequate administration and
enforcement of the title V program within the specified time frame, EPA
took final action, pursuant to our authority at 40 CFR 70.10(b)(2)(i),
to partially withdraw approval of the title V programs for the 34 local
air districts listed above. See 67 FR 63551 (October 15, 2002).
On September 22, 2003, the Governor of California signed SB 700,
which revised State law to remove the agricultural permitting
exemption. The legislation eliminated the exemption and therefore
corrected the deficiency we identified in the May 22, 2002 NOD.
Therefore, on October 8, 2003, EPA proposed to approve a revision to
the 34 district title V programs because districts now have the
authority to permit all major stationary sources, including those
agricultural sources that were formerly exempt from title V under State
law (68 FR 58055). Based on this change in state law and our receipt of
a legal opinion from the California Attorney General that confirms that
the elimination of the agricultural permitting exemption from State law
provides the 34 districts with authority to issue title V permits to
major stationary agricultural sources, we are finalizing the program
revision today.
II. Comments Received by EPA on Our Proposed Rulemaking and EPA's
Responses
EPA received one set of comments. Copies of these comments are
available for inspection during normal business hours at Air Division,
EPA Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California, 94105.
A summary of the significant comments, and our response thereto,
follow.
Comment: The commenter alleges that the proposed rule requires
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and alleges that
``farmers were not included'' in the OMB review of the proposed part 70
rule in 1992. In addition, the commenter claims that regulation of
stationary agricultural sources by California air pollution control
districts will result in economic hardship for California farmers.
Response: It is difficult to determine the legal requirement that
the commenter alleges EPA violated because the comment does not cite to
any particular statutory, regulatory or executive requirement. To the
extent the comment asserts that the rule must undergo OMB review, EPA
disagrees. As we stated in the proposed rule, under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a
``significant regulatory action'', and therefore not subject to OMB
review. With regard to OMB review in 1992, it is not clear which
rulemaking the commenter is referring to. If he is referring to the
final part 70 rule, his statement is incorrect because the part 70 rule
did undergo OMB review. The rule was judged to be ``major'' under
Executive Order 12291, and a Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) was
prepared and made available for public comment as part of EPA's May 10,
1991 proposal of part 70 [56 FR 21712]. All interested parties,
including farmers, had access to the RIA and an opportunity to comment
on it. If the commenter is referring to EPA's rulemaking actions to
grant interim approval to individual district title V programs in
California, he is incorrect because OMB exempted those state-specific
actions from review. See, for example, EPA's April 24, 1996 final rule
granting interim approval of the San Joaquin Valley Unified APCD title
V operating permit program [61 FR 18083].
EPA also disagrees with the commenter's claim that approval of this
program revision for 34 title V Operating Permits Programs will result
in economic hardship for California farmers. Today's action affects
only major agricultural stationary sources that already are subject to
EPA's part 71 title V permitting program, and will not result in
regulation of the majority of farms which are not subject to title V.
The title V program revision EPA is approving, and EPA's termination of
its implementation of a part 71 federal operating permit program for
State-exempt major stationary agricultural sources, merely transfers
the authority to permit such sources from EPA to the 34 districts. As
stated in the Administrative Requirements section of this notice, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator has certified that this final rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA). In making this
certification, we note that the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires a
certification only as to entities directly regulated by a rulemaking
(e.g., farms that are major stationary sources under the Clean Air
Act); it does not require us to look at small farms not subject to the
final rule, or to downstream businesses or consumers that deal with the
larger farms. See Cement Kiln Recycling Coalition v. EPA, 255 F.3d 855
(D.C. Cir. 2001).
III. Description of EPA's Final Action
We are approving the program revision of the 34 Clean Air Act title
V Operating Permits programs in the State of California. Our action is
based on a legal opinion from the California Attorney General that
confirms that the elimination of the agricultural permitting exemption
from State law provides the 34 districts with authority to issue title
V permits to major stationary agricultural sources.
IV. Effect of EPA's Rulemaking
Our final action means that the 34 districts have title V programs
that require all major stationary sources to obtain title V operating
permits. It also terminates EPA's implementation of a part 71 federal
operating permit program for formerly State-exempt major stationary
agricultural sources within the jurisdiction of the 34 California air
districts listed at the beginning of this final rule. EPA will not
issue any permits to these sources, since the 34 districts will have
the authority to issue title V permits to major agricultural stationary
sources beginning on January 1, 2004. Therefore, EPA is no longer
requiring major stationary agricultural sources to submit part 71
permit applications and suspends any outstanding application deadlines.
The May 22, 2002 NOD started an 18 month sanctions clock pursuant
to CAA section 179(b). CAA Sec. 502(i)(1) and (2), 40 CFR 70.4(k) and
70.10(b)(2)-(4). California has undertaken all of the required
corrections in response to the NOD. Therefore, the sanctions clock is
terminated as of November 13, 2003, even though EPA's implementation of
the Part 71 program will not be terminated until January 1, 2004.
[[Page 65639]]
V. Administrative 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), because it is not economically
significant.
In reviewing revisions to state operating permit programs submitted
pursuant to Title V of the CAA, EPA will approve such revisions
provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act and EPA's
regulations codified at 40 CFR part 70. 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 Part 70
program revision for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent
with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a Part 70 program
revision, to use VCS in place of a Part 70 program revision 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. section 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.
section 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 January 20, 2004. 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).)
