Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Georgia: New Source Review-Prevention of Significant Deterioration

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

EPA is taking final action to approve changes to the Georgia State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Georgia, through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Environmental Protection Division (EPD) to EPA, on September 26, 2006 (with a clarifying revision submitted on November 6, 2006), and July 26, 2012. The September 26, 2006, SIP submission makes multiple changes to the Georgia SIP including the State's permit exemption provisions. The July 26, 2012, submission includes changes to Georgia's New Source Review (NSR), Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program to incorporate by reference (IBR) federal PSD requirements regarding the implementation of the fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and the deferral of, until July 21, 2014, PSD applicability to biogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from bioenergy and other biogenic stationary sources as well as additional air quality rule revisions. EPA is approving portions of these submittals as revisions to Georgia's SIP because the Agency has determined that they are consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) and EPA regulations regarding NSR permitting. EPA is also responding to comments received on the January 14, 2012, proposed rulemaking.

DATES:

This rule will be effective May 9, 2013.

I. Background

EPA is taking final action to approve portions of Georgia's July 26, 2012, and September 26, 2006 (with a clarifying revision submitted on November 6, 2006) SIP submittals. The July 26, 2012, submission revises Georgia's SIP at Air Quality Control Rule 391-3-1-.02(7)—Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality to IBR the version of 40 CFR 52.21 as of July 20, 2011, including certain federal NSR permitting requirements promulgated in the: (1) “Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM_2.5)—Increments, Significant Impact Levels (SILs) Significant Monitoring Concentration (SMC), Final Rule,” 75 FR 64864 (October 20, 2010), (hereafter referred to as the “PM_2.5 PSD Increment—SILs-SMC Rule); (2) “Deferral for CO₂ Emissions From Bioenergy and Other Biogenic Sources Under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title V Programs,” Final Rule, 76 FR 43490 (July 20, 2011) (hereafter referred to as CO₂ Biomass Deferral Rule); and (3) EPA's interim rulemaking entitled “Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions; Interim Rule; Stay and Revisions,” 76 FR 17548 (March 30, 2011) (hereafter referred to as the “Fugitive Emissions Interim Rule”). The July 26, 2012, submittal also requests that EPA remove from the SIP the exclusion language at Rule 391-3-1-.02(7) regarding the coarse particle pollution (PM₁₀) surrogate and grandfathering provision promulgated in the “Implementation of the New Source Review Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers” Rule, 73 FR 28321 (May 16, 2008) (hereafter referred to as “NSR PM_2.5 Rule”) and amends the following regulations: (1) Rule 391-3-1-.01(nnn)—Definitions regarding testing and monitoring of air pollutants; (2) Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(c)—Incinerators; and (3) Rule 391-3-1-.03(6)—Exemptions. The September 26, 2006, SIP submittal adds new text at 391-3-1-.03(6)(i)(3) regarding Georgia's permit exemptions.

On January 14, 2013, EPA published a proposed rulemaking to approve many of the aforementioned changes to Georgia's SIP. See 78 FR 2872. Details regarding these changes and EPA's final action are summarized below in Section II. EPA's January 14, 2013, proposed rulemaking contains more detailed information regarding Georgia's SIP revisions being approved today and the rationale for today's final action. Comments on the proposed rulemaking were due on or before February 13, 2013. EPA received one set of comments, and is responding to the comments relevant to today's final action which is not acting on everything that was included in the January 14, 2013, proposal, due to a recent court decision. Pursuant to section 110 of the CAA, EPA is now taking final action to approve certain changes to Georgia's SIP.

In this rulemaking EPA is not taking final action on portions of the July 26, 2012, SIP submittal regarding Georgia's request for incorporation of the PM_2.5 SILs and SMC thresholds as promulgated in EPA's PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule. EPA will initiate a separate action to address these portions of the submittal. See below for more explanation on the SILs and SMC thresholds. Additionally, Georgia's July 26, 2012, submittal included certain rules that are not a part of Georgia's federally-approved SIP. As a result, EPA is not taking action on those rules, which are as follows: Rules 391-3-1-.02(www)—Sewage Sludge Incineration, 391-3-1-.03(9)—Permit Fees, 391-3-1-.02(8)(b)—New Source Performance Standards and 391-3-1-.02(9)(b)—Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, as these regulations are not part of Georgia's federally-approved SIP.

A. PM _2.5 PSD Increment SILs-SMC Rule

The PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule provided additional regulatory provisions under the PSD program regarding the implementation of the PM_2.5 NAAQS for NSR including: (1) PM_2.5 increments pursuant to section 166(a) of the CAA to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in areas meeting the NAAQS; (2) SILs used as a screening tool (by a major source subject to PSD) to evaluate the impact a proposed major source or modification may have on the NAAQS or PSD increment; and (3) a SMC, (also a screening tool) used by a major source subject to PSD to determine the subsequent level of PM_2.5 data gathering required for a PSD permit application. PSD increments prevent air quality in attainment/unclassifiable areas from deteriorating to the level set by the NAAQS. Therefore, an increment is the mechanism used to estimate “significant deterioration” of air quality for a pollutant in an area. Under section 165(a)(3) of the CAA, a PSD permit applicant must demonstrate that emissions from the proposed construction and operation of a facility “will not cause, or contribute to, air pollution in excess of any maximum allowable increase or allowable concentration for any pollutant.” When a source applies for a permit to emit a regulated pollutant in an area that meets the NAAQS, the state and EPA must determine if emissions of the regulated pollutant from the source will cause significant deterioration in air quality. As described in the PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule, pursuant to the authority under section 166(a) of the CAA, EPA promulgated numerical PSD increments for PM_2.5 as a new pollutant for which NAAQS were established after August 7, 1977, and derived 24-hour and annual PM_2.5 increments for the three area classifications (Class I, II and III) using the “contingent safe harbor” approach. See 75 FR 64869 and the ambient air increment tables at 40 CFR 51.166(c)(1) and 52.21(c). In addition to PSD increments for the PM_2.5 NAAQS, the PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule amended the definition at 40 CFR 51.166 and 52.21 for “major source baseline date” and “minor source baseline date” (including trigger date) to establish the PM_2.5 NAAQS specific dates associated with the implementation of PM_2.5 PSD increments. See 75 FR 64864.

For background purposes, the SILs and SMC portions of the PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule, which EPA is not taking action on today, are numerical values that represent thresholds of insignificant modeled source impacts or monitored (ambient) concentrations, respectively. EPA established such values to be used as screening tools by a major source subject to PSD to determine the subsequent level of analysis and data gathering required for a PSD permit application for emissions of PM_2.5.

The Sierra Club challenged EPA's authority to implement the PM_2.5 SILs and SMC for PSD purposes as promulgated in the October 20, 2010, PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule. On January 22, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an order vacating and remanding to EPA for further consideration the portions of its PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule addressing the PM_2.5 SILs, except for the parts codifying the PM_2.5 SILs in the NSR rule at 40 CFR 51.165(b)(2). See Sierra Club v. EPA, 705 F.3d 458, 469. The court also vacated parts of the PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule establishing the PM_2.5 SMC, finding that the Agency had exceeded its statutory authority with respect to these provisions. Id. The D.C. Circuit Court's decision can be found in the docket for today's rulemaking at www.regulations.gov using docket ID: EPA-R04-OAR-2012-0622.

As a result of D.C. Circuit Court's decision, EPA is not taking action at this time on any portions of Georgia's PSD SIP submission regarding the PM_2.5 SILs and SMC provisions described at 40 CFR 51.166 and 52.21, which have now been vacated and remanded. Georgia's July 26, 2012, SIP revision IBR both the PM_2.5 SIL and SMC screening tools promulgated in EPA's October 20, 2010, PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule. In the January 14, 2013, proposed rulemaking, EPA proposed to approve into the Georgia SIP the PM_2.5 SMC but not the PM_2.5 SILs. While the Agency proposed to approve the SMC in the January 14, 2013, proposed rule, the Agency is not moving forward with this proposed approval as a result of the court's January 22, 2013, decision. EPA will consider Georgia's January 26, 2012, SIP revision (and EPA's previous proposal) with regard to the PM_2.5 SILs and SMC thresholds in an action separate from today's rulemaking.

B. CO ₂ Biomass Deferral

As was explained in more detail in EPA's January 14, 2013, proposed rulemaking, EPA's CO₂ Biomass Deferral Rule defers until July 21, 2014, the consideration of CO₂ emissions from bioenergy and other biogenic sources (hereafter referred to as “biogenic CO₂ emissions”) when determining whether a stationary source meets the PSD and title V applicability thresholds, including those for the application of best available control technology. See 76 FR 43490. EPA incorporated the biomass deferral into the regulations governing state programs and into the federal PSD program by amending the definition of “subject to regulation” under 40 CFR 51.166 and 52.21 respectively. The deferral is intended to be a temporary measure, in effect for no more than three years, to allow EPA time to conduct detailed examination of the science and technical issues related to accounting for biogenic CO₂ emissions, and determine what, if any, treatment of biogenic CO₂ emissions should be in the PSD and title V programs. The deferral applies only to biogenic CO₂ emissions and does not affect non-greenhouse gas (GHG) pollutants or other GHGs (e.g., methane and nitrous oxide) emitted from the combustion of biomass fuel.

C. Fugitive Emissions Interim Rule

EPA's Fugitive Emissions Interim Rule extends the Agency's March 31, 2010, stay of the original December 19, 2008, Fugitive Emissions Rule reverting the CFR text back to the language that existed prior to the December 19, 2008, Fugitive Emissions Rule changes regarding the treatment of fugitive emissions. See 73 FR 77882. EPA plans to issue a final rule affirming the interim rule as final. The final rule will remain in effect until EPA completes its reconsideration of the Natural Resource Defense Counsel's (NRDC) petition. See 78 FR 2872.

D. PM _2.5 Grandfathering Provision

EPA's PM_2.5 grandfather provision (established in the 2008 NSR PM_2.5 Rule) allowed PSD applicants that submitted a complete permit application prior to July 15, 2008, to continue relying upon the 1997 PM₁₀ Surrogate Policy rather than amend their application to demonstrate compliance directly with the new PM_2.5 requirements. See 73 FR 28321. On January 13, 2011, Georgia submitted a SIP revision to IBR into the Georgia SIP the version of 40 CFR 52.21 as of June 3, 2010 which included language that excluded the grandfathering exemption (at 40 CFR 52.21(i)(1)(xi)) from the state's PSD regulations (at Rule 391-3-1-.02(7)(b)(6)(i)) ensuring that sources were not subject to the grandfathering provision. EPA approved Georgia's January 13, 2011, SIP revision on September 8, 2011 (76 FR 55572). On May 18, 2011, EPA repealed the PM_2.5 grandfathering provision at 40 CFR 52.21(i)(1)(xi). See 76 FR 28646. Georgia's July 26, 2012, SIP submittal incorporates into the Georgia SIP the version of 40 CFR 52.21 as of July 20, 2011, including the May 18, 2011, repeal of the grandfather provision. Thus, the PM_2.5 grandfathering exclusion language previously approved into Georgia's SIP at Rule 391-3-1-.02(7)(b)(6)(i) is no longer necessary. Georgia's July 26, 2012, SIP submittal removes the unnecessary language pertaining to the removal of the grandfather provision from Rule 391-3-1-.02(7)(b)(6)(i).

In addition to updates to Rule 391-3-1-.02(7), the July 26, 2012, SIP revision also (1) amends Georgia's definitions at 391-3-1-.01 by revising subparagraph (nnnn) to reference the February 1, 2012, update to Georgia's “Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants;” (2) revises Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)—Incinerators to add exemptions to subparagraph (c)(6)(ix)-(xiii) to exempt certain incinerators from the state rule that are subject to more stringent, state adopted federal standards at Rule 391-3-1.02; and (3) modifies Georgia's provisions at Rule 391-3-1-.03(6)(i)(4) regarding permit exemptions. Georgia's September 26, 2006, SIP (with a clarifying revision submitted on November 6, 2006) revises the permit exemption provisions at Rule 391-1-.03(6)(i)(3). Both 391-3-1-.03(6)(1)(3) and the provision at (i)(4) provide exemptions from the requirement of a source to obtain a SIP permit for cumulative modifications where the combined emission increases are below specific de minimis thresholds. See 78 FR 2872.

II. This Action

EPA is taking final action to approve into the Georgia SIP portions of the State's July 26, 2012 and September 26, 2006 (as clarified on November 6, 2006) SIP revisions. Georgia's Rule 391-3-1-.02(7) IBR the federal NSR PSD regulations at 40 CFR 52.21 into the Georgia SIP. EPD's July 26, 2012, SIP revision IBR the version of 40 CFR 52.21 at 391-3-1-.02(7) as of July 20, 2011. By IBR the version of 40 CFR 52.21 effective on July 20, 2011, this revisions incorporates into the Georgia SIP the numerical PM_2.5 PSD increments promulgated in the PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule (pursuant to section 166(a) of the CAA) at 40 CFR 52.21(c) including the amendments to “major source baseline date” (at 40 CFR 52.21(b)(14)(i)(c)); “minor source baseline date” and establishment of the “trigger date” (40 CFR 52.21(b)(14)(ii)(c)); and the definition of “baseline area” (at 40 CFR 52.21(b)(15)(i) and (ii)). Regarding the PM_2.5 SILs and SMC provisions, in light of the D.C. Circuit Court January 22, 2013, court order to remand and vacate the SILs back to the Agency and vacate the SMC, EPA is not taking action on the portion of the submittal containing the SILs or SMC.

In addition, the July 26, 2012, submission IBR the CO₂ Biomass Rule, thus deferring until July 21, 2014, the consideration of “biogenic CO₂ emissions” when determining whether a stationary source meets the PSD and title V applicability thresholds by updating the definition for “subject to regulation.” The submission IBR date as serves to include in the Georgia SIP the extension of the stay in the Fugitive Emissions Interim Rule.

The July 26, 2012, SIP submission also (1) IBR the May 18, 2011, repeal of the PM_2.5 grandfathering provision thereby removing the unnecessary grandfathering exclusion language from Rule 391-3-1-.02(7)(b)(6)(i); (2) amends Georgia's definition at 391-3-1-.01 subparagraph (nnnn) “Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air Pollutants;” (3) revises Georgia's incinerator regulations at 391-3-1-.02(2) by adding exemptions to subparagraphs (c)(6)(ix)-(xiii) to exempt certain incinerators from the state rule that are subject to more stringent, state adopted federal standards at Rule 391-3-1.02; and (4) modifies Georgia's provisions at Rule 391-3-1-.03(6)(i)(4) regarding permit exemptions.

Lastly, EPA is taking final action to approve Georgia's September 26, 2006, SIP submission (as clarified on November 6, 2006) which revises the permit exemption provisions at Rule 391-1-.03(6)(i)(3). The changes to Georgia's rules submitted September 26, 2006 (as clarified on November 6, 2006) and July 26, 2012, became state effective on March 27, 2006, and August 9, 2012, respectively. EPA is taking final action to approve changes mentioned above in the July 26, 2012, and September 26, 2006, SIP revisions to update the State's existing SIP-approved PSD program to be consistent with federal NSR regulations (at 40 CFR 52.21) and the CAA as well as changes to Air Quality Rules 391-3-1-.01, .02(2) and .03.

III. Response to Comments

EPA received one set of comments on the January 14, 2013, proposed rulemaking from GreenLaw (hereafter referred to as the “Commenter”). A copy of these comments can be found in the docket for today's rulemaking at www.regulations.gov using docket ID: EPA-R04-OAR-2012-0622. The Commenter submitted three comments one of which supports EPA's proposed January 14, 2013, actions to approve the PM_2.5 PSD Increments, Surrogate Policy repeal and extension of the Fugitives Emissions Rule stay into the Georgia SIP in accordance with the CAA. EPA appreciates the Commenter's support of the Agency's action to ensure Georgia's PSD permitting program is consistent with federal NSR permitting requirements. To the extent that the comments supported EPA's proposed actions, and the final actions being taken today, EPA need not provide a response to those comments. A summary of and response to the comments potentially adverse to today's action is provided below.

Comment: The Commenter states that EPA cannot approve a SIP submittal that includes the PM_2.5 SMC and SILs. The Commenter cites to the D.C. Circuit Court's January 22, 2013, court decision which vacated and remanded back to EPA the SILs and vacated the SMC citing the monitoring provisions exceeded EPA's authority. Further, the Commenter affirms that the changes proposed for approval simply change the date of incorporation by reference but that EPA should clarify in its final rulemaking that it is “denying approval” of SILs and SMCs into the Georgia SIP.

Response: With regard to the PM_2.5 SILs, EPA never proposed approval of Georgia's submission as to those provisions. As a result, EPA is not now taking any action regarding Georgia's PM_2.5 SILs submission. With regard to the PM_2.5 SMC provisions, EPA did propose approval of those provisions but in light of the D.C. Circuit's January 22, 2013, court order, EPA is not now taking final action on EPA's January 14, 2013, proposal regarding Georgia's PM_2.5 SMC submission. EPA will consider Georgia's January 26, 2012, SIP revision (and EPA's previous proposal) with regard to the PM_2.5 SILs and SMC thresholds in an action separate from today's rulemaking.

IV. Final Action

EPA is taking final action to approve, into the Georgia SIP, portions of Georgia's September 26, 2006 (as clarified on November 6, 2006) and July 26, 2012, SIP revisions adopting federal regulations amended in the October 20, 2010, PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC rule; the June 3, 2010, CO₂ Biomass Deferral Rule; and the March 30, 2011, Fugitive Emissions Interim Rule, amendments regarding the PM_2.5 Grandfathering Provision, definition changes regarding testing and monitoring, and changes regarding exemptions from the requirement to obtain a SIP permit and exemptions for incinerators. EPA is taking final action to approve these aforementioned changes to Georgia's SIP because they are consistent with section 110 of the CAA and current EPA regulations regarding NSR permitting.

EPA is not, however, taking final action to approve in this rulemaking the portion of Georgia's July 26, 2012, SIP revision incorporating the PM_2.5 SILs and SMC thresholds and provisions promulgated in EPA's PM_2.5 PSD Increment-SILs-SMC Rule. EPA is also not taking final action to approve in this rulemaking Rules 391-3-1-.02(www)—Sewage Sludge Incineration, 391-3-1-.03(9)—Permit Fees, 391-3-1-.02(8)(b)—New Source Performance Standards and 391-3-1-.02(9)(b)—Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, which were included in Georgia's July 26, 2012, SIP revision, but are not part of Georgia's SIP.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:

• Is not a “significant regulatory action” subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
• Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• 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);
• Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
• Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

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 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 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 10, 2013. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action 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).
