AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Direct final rule; delegation of authority.
SUMMARY:
EPA is taking direct final action to approve New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services' (NH DES) request for delegation of authority to implement and enforce its New Source Performance Standards (NSPSs) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) which have been adopted by reference into New Hampshire's state regulations from the Federal requirements set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations. In addition, EPA is taking direct final action to approve NH DES's mechanism for receiving delegation of future NESHAPs and NSPSs. This approval delegates standards for both major and area sources and will automatically delegate future regulations and amendments to regulations once NH DES incorporates these regulations and amendments into its regulations. EPA is taking this action in accordance with the Clean Air Act (CAA).
DATES:
This rule is effective on November 18, 2002, without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by October 21, 2002. If EPA receives such comment, then it will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect.
ADDRESSES:
Written comments must be submitted to Steven Rapp, Manager, Air Permits, Toxics and Indoor Programs Unit, Office of Ecosystem Protection (mail code CAP) at the EPA New England office listed below and to Barbara L. Hoffman, Stationary Source Planning Manager, at the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services office listed below.

I. Background
Under section 112(l) of the CAA, EPA may delegate Federal section 112 rules without changes to states or approve state programs in lieu of the Federal section 112 rules. The Federal regulations governing EPA's approval of state and local rules or programs under section 112(l) are located at 40 CFR part 63, subpart E (See 65 FR 55810, dated September 14, 2000). Under these rules, EPA may approve state programs to implement and enforce the Federal section 112 rules without changes. This is referred to as straight delegation. In addition, EPA may approve state requests for one-time approval of their mechanism for taking delegation of future unchanged Federal section 112 rules, emission standards and requirements. To receive EPA approval for straight delegation, the requirements of 40 CFR 63.91 must be met.
II. Has EPA Previously Delegated NSPS and NESHAP Standards to New Hamsphire?
NH DES has been delegated the authority by EPA to implement and enforce certain NSPS codified at 40 CFR part 60, certain NESHAPs codified at 40 CFR part 61, and certain NESHAP referred to as Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards codified at 40 part CFR 63. This delegation of authority was approved by EPA in the Federal Register on August 14, 1996 (See 61 FR 42222). This delegation extended only to facilities subject to New Hampshire's title V permit program and applied to existing standards. Under this delegation mechanism, delegation occurred upon incorporation of the MACT standard into the source's title V operating permit. In the August 14, 1996 Federal Register, EPA also proposed to approve this delegation mechanism for delegation of future standards. On October 2, 1996 (See 61 FR 51370), EPA approved this delegation mechanism.
III. What Is NH DES Now Requesting?
On May 9, 2002, the NH DES submitted a request to EPA to receive straight delegation of authority to implement and enforce the NESHAP and NSPS regulations for both major and area sources under a new delegation mechanism. NH DES is now requesting to take delegation of these standards by incorporating these standards into NH DES's regulations. On April 5, 2002, DES adopted a rule, Env-500, that incorporates by reference NSPS and NESHAP regulations as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations as of July 1, 2001. In addition, NH DES incorporated 40 CFR part 63 subpart D, Regulations Governing Compliance Extensions for Early Reductions of Hazardous Air Pollutants. NH DES has incorporated all NSPS and NESHAP regulations as indicated in Table 1 and requested delegation of these standards. NH DES did not incorporate 40 CFR part 63, subpart M—national perchloroethylene air emission standards for dry cleaning facilities. NH DES intends to continue implementing and enforcing this standard only for facilities subject to the title V permit program, consistent with EPA's previous delegation of that standard to DES on August 14, 1996. NH DES also did not incorporate certain standards where the state has no applicable sources. For example, New Hampshire does not have any coke ovens or magnetic tape manufacturers. Therefore, NH DES did not incorporate subpart L, the national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants for coke oven batteries nor subpart EE, the national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants for magnetic tape manufacturing operations. In addition, NH DES has incorporated by reference 40 CFR 61, subpart M—national emission standards for asbestos, with the exception of 40 CFR 61.151, standard for inactive waste disposal sites for asbestos mills and manufacturing and fabricating operations. On June 28, 2002, NH DES submitted a partial rule substitution request to EPA pursuant to 40 CFR 63.93 for a portion of that rule and is therefore not requesting straight delegation of section 61.151. Please refer to Table 1 for a complete list of the standards that NH DES is requesting delegation for as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations as of July 1, 2001.
Please note Federal rulemaking is not required for delegation of section 111 standards.
In addition, NH DES requested that EPA approve NH DES's delegation mechanism for delegation of all future standards. NH DES's delegation mechanism is to incorporate all new or revised standards by reference and to receive future delegation upon adoption by NH DES of the new or revised standards. The details of this delegation mechanism are set forth in Attachment 2 to the NH DES delegation request letter dated May 9, 2002.
IV. What Criteria Must NH's Program Meet To Be Approved?
Section 112(l)(5) of the Act requires that a state's NESHAP program contain adequate authorities, adequate resources for implementation, and an expeditious compliance schedule. These are also requirements for an adequate operating permits program under 40 CFR part 70. On September 24, 2001, EPA promulgated full approval of the State's operating permits program as administered by NH DES. (See 66 FR 48806) In addition, on May 16, 2001, EPA has already provided “up-front” approval of the NH DES NESHAP program in accordance with 40 CFR section 63.91(d). (See 66 FR 27032) Under section 63.91(d)(2), once a state has satisfied up-front approval criteria, it needs only to reference the previous demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets the criteria for any subsequent submittals. NH DES has affirmed that it still meets the up-front approval criteria.
V. Which Part 63 General Provisions Did NH DES Request Delegation for?
Under section 63.91(g), EPA has identified which part 63 general provisions may be delegated to state/local/tribal (S/L/T) agencies and which general provisions must be retained by EPA. NH DES has incorporated part 63 subpart A in its entirety but has requested that EPA delegate only the delegable authorities of the part 63 general provisions as identified in section 63.91(g)(i). The delegable authorities include the following:
(A) Section 63.1, Applicability Determinations
(B) Section 63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance Requirements—Responsibility for Determining Compliance
(C) Section 63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity Standards—Responsibility for Determining Compliance
(D) Section 63.6(h), Compliance with Opacity and Visible Emissions Standards—Responsibility for Determining Compliance
(E) Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and (d), Approval of Site-Specific Test Plans
(F) Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of Minor Alternatives to Test Methods
(G) Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval of Intermediate Alternatives to Test Methods
(H) Section 63.7(e)(iii), Approval of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes When Necessitated by Process Variables or Other Factors
(I) Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), (h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance Testing
(J) Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), Approval of Site-Specific Performance Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans
(K) Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor Alternatives to Monitoring
(L) Section 63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate Alternatives to Monitoring
(M) Sections 63.9 and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to Time Periods for Submitting Reports
(N) Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor Alternatives to Recordkeeping and Reporting
VI. What Action Is EPA Taking?
EPA has determined that NH DES has satisfied the approval criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d). EPA is approving NH DES's delegation of the NSPS, NESHAP and MACT standards indicated in Table 1. EPA is also approving delegation of all delegable authorities of the part 63 general provisions identified in section 63.91(g)(1) and section V above. In addition, EPA is approving NH DES's delegation mechanism for delegation of all future standards according to the delegation procedures identified in Attachment 2 of the delegation request letter dated May 9, 2002 from NH DES to EPA. The NH DES has the primary authority and responsibility to carry out all elements of these programs for all sources covered in New Hampshire, including on-site inspections, record keeping reviews, and enforcement.
VII. Administrative Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this regulatory action from Executive Order 12866, entitled “Regulatory Planning and Review.” This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled, “Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks,” because it is not an “economically significant” action under Executive Order 12866.
B. Executive Order 13175
Executive Order 13175, entitled “Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments” (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure “meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications.” “Policies that have tribal implications” is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that have “substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes.”
This final rule does not have tribal implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, 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 in Executive Order 13175. This Federal action allows the State of New Hampshire to implement and enforce existing and future requirements under Federal law and does not have tribal implications. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.
C. Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132, entitled “Federalism” (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure “meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.” “Policies that have federalism implications” is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that 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.”
This final rule does not have federalism implications. It will 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. This action simply allows New Hampshire to implement and enforce existing and future Federal standards, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
D. Executive Order 13211 (Energy Effects)
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, “Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use” (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)) because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than 50,000. This final rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because approvals under 40 CFR 63.91 do not create any new requirements but simply allows the state to implement and enforce Federal requirements that the EPA is already imposing. Therefore, because this approval does not create any new requirements, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
F. Unfunded Mandates
Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (“Unfunded Mandates Act”), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs to state, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan for informing and advising any small governments that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does not include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs of $100 million or more to either state, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action allows New Hampshire to implement existing and future requirements under Federal law, and imposes no new requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to state, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this action.
G. 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).
H. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (“NTTAA”), Public Law No. 104-113, Section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
I. 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 November 18, 2002. 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)).
