SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to EPA. Background On July 5, 2011 (76 FR 38977) EPA finalized approval of general rule revisions to the Louisiana SIP which covered the years of 1996- 2006. We are now proposing to approve two revisions to the Louisiana SIP submitted to EPA by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). The first submittal is the 2007 general revisions submitted to EPA with a letter dated August 14, 2009. The second submittal is the 2008-2010 miscellaneous rules revisions submitted to EPA with a letter dated August 29, 2013. Evaluation The 2008-2010 miscellaneous rules revisions apply to Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) 33: III, Chapters 7 and 13. The 2007 general revisions apply to LAC 33: III, Chapters 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 21, 22, 23, and 25. The Louisiana rule revisions submittals, their corresponding Chapters, and our actions are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1--Submittals, Their Corresponding Chapters, and Actions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revisions to LAC 33:III Submittals Calendar year Chapters acting upon Chapters not acting upon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous rules................... 2008-2010 7, 13................... .............................. General revisions..................... 2007 1, 9, 11, 13, 14, 21, 2, 5, 6, and 15. 22, 23, and 25. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Certain provisions of the 2007 general revisions are not being acted upon here because they were withdrawn or we plan to act on them separately in the future. In a letter dated October 2, 2015 LDEQ withdrew its revisions to Chapter 15 from our review. The October 2, 2015 withdrawal letter is available in this docket. The EPA plans to act on SIP revisions to Chapters 2, 5, and 6 separately in the future. There is no increase in the amount of emissions or number of sources affected as a result of ministerial or administrative rules revisions throughout this notice; therefore, section 110(l) of the Act has been complied with. In 2006, EPA revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter. The LDEQ adopted revisions to NAAQS for particulate matter in LAC 33:III, Chapter 7. This revision will update the Louisiana air quality regulations to include the revised NAAQS for particulate matter. The revision is consistent with the NAAQS for PM 2.5 and PM10 standards of 40 CFR 50. See 71 FR 61144 (October 17, 2006), and http://www3.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/criteria.html (URL dated October 5, 2015). We propose their approval into the SIP. Currently, the LAC 33:III Chapter 13 Abrasive Blasting is not in the EPA-approved SIP. The 2007 general revisions submittal establishes the standards of performance for abrasive blasting operations and includes provisions concerning requirement to control emissions through either enclosure or establishment of best management practices, maintenance of control equipment, recordkeeping requirements, and prohibited materials and methods that cannot be used in abrasive blasting activities requirements. The LDEQ later in its [[Page 68483]] 2008-2010 miscellaneous rules submittal revised this rule by incorporating an updated version of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test Method in Sec. 1327 for taking samples when determining the weight percent of fines in abrasive materials. Incorporating a specific ASTM Test Method in Sec. 1327 will provide for consistency in the rule and facilitate compliance determinations. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 13 will result in enhancing the SIP, and reducing particulate matter emissions from abrasive blasting operations. We propose their approval into the SIP. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 1 General Provisions concern Sec. 111 Definitions. The revisions defines the term SPOC or the Single Point of Contact. The revision is ministerial or administrative in nature. We propose its approval into the SIP. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 9 General Regulations on Control of Emissions and Emission Standards concern Sec. 918 Recordkeeping and Annual Reporting and Sec. 919 Emission Inventory which require data for emission reports be collected annually, include air pollutants that a NAAQS has been issued for, and the owner or operator submit reports to the Office Environmental Assessment. The revisions are ministerial or administrative in nature. We propose their approval into the SIP. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 11 Control of Emissions of Smoke concern reporting of opacity exceedances and exemptions. The revisions now require that reports be submitted to the SPOC instead of the Office of Environmental Compliance, Emergency and Radiological Services Division. The revisions are ministerial or administrative in nature. We propose their approval into the SIP. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 14 Conformity concern Sec. 1410 Criteria for Determining Conformity of General Federal Actions and Sec. 1434 Consultation that designate the secretary of Department of Environmental Quality or a designee and assistant secretary of the Office of Planning and Programming or a designee participate in the conformity consultation process. The revisions are ministerial or administrative in nature. We propose their approval into the SIP. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 21 Control of Emission of Organic Compounds concern Sec. Sec. 2103, 2108, 2113, 2116, 2122, 2123, 2132, 2153, and 2159. See Part B of the TSD for more information. The revisions throughout this Chapter are ministerial and administrative in nature. We propose their approval into the SIP. Revision to LAC 33:III Chapter 22 Control of Emissions of Nitrogen Oxides concerns Sec. 2201 removing the term ``Air Permits Division.'' This revision is ministerial or administrative in nature. We propose its approval into the SIP. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 23 Control of Emissions for Specific Industries concern Sec. Sec. 2301 and 2303 deleting the terms ``Air Quality Assessment Division;'' and Sec. 2307 deleting ``the Office of Environmental Compliance, Emergency and Radiological Services Division'' when submitting the required reports and plans. The revision are ministerial or administrative in nature. We propose their approval into the SIP. Revisions to LAC 33:III Chapter 25, Subchapter B--Biomedical Waste Incineration Rules concern Sec. 2511 Standards of Performance for Biomedical Waste; Subchapter C-Refuse Incinerators Sec. 2521 Refuse Incinerators; and Subchapter D-Crematories Sec. 2531 Standards of Performance for Crematories. On July 5, 2011 (76 FR 38977) EPA approved the existing provisions of LAC 33:III Chapter 25 into the SIP. The revisions reflect the updated names of offices or departmental organizations that reports or test results should be submitted to for review and approval. The revisions are ministerial or administrative in nature. We propose their approval into the SIP. Certain provisions of the Louisiana SIP are affected by EPA's June 12, 2015 National SIP Call (80 FR 33967). Those provisions are identified as Sec. Sec. 1107(A), 1507(A)(1), 1507(B)(1), 2153(B)(1)(i), 2201(C)(8), 2307(C)(1), and 2307(C)(2). Finally, our proposed approval of amendments to LAC 33:III, Chapters 11, 21, 22, and 23 should not, in any way, be construed as explicitly or implicitly voiding or minimizing any concerns or inadequacies identified in EPA's National SIP Call of June 12, 2015 (80 FR 33967) with respect to the above referenced provisions. We continue to expect that issues raised within the context of the EPA's National SIP Call to be addressed in a timely fashion. See section 110(k)(5) of the Act. Proposed Action We are proposing to approve rule revisions to LAC 33:III, Chapter 1, Sec. 111; Chapter 7, Sec. Sec. 701, 703, and 711; Chapter 9, Sec. Sec. 918, and 919; Chapter 13, Sec. Sec. 1323, 1325, 1327, 1329, 1331, and 1333; Chapter 14, Sec. Sec. 1410, and 1434; Chapter 21, Sec. Sec. 2103, 2108, 2113, 2116, 2121, 2122, 2123, 2132, 2153, and 2159; Chapter 22, Sec. 2201; Chapter 23, Sec. Sec. 2301, 2302, and 2307; and Chapter 25, Sec. Sec. 2511, 2521, and 2531. We are proposing to approve these revisions in accordance with sections 110, and 129 of the Act. Incorporation by Reference In this action, we are proposing to include in a final rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are proposing to incorporate by reference revisions to the Louisiana regulations as described in the Proposed Action section above. We have made, and will continue to make, these documents generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the EPA Region 6 office. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. If a portion of the plan revision meets all the applicable requirements of this chapter and Federal regulations, the Administrator may approve the plan revision in part. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices that meet the criteria of the Act, and to disapprove state choices that do not meet the criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this proposed action approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed 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); [[Page 68484]] 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 Clean Air Act; 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); and Is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the proposed rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
