The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were submitted by the Department of Ecology (Ecology) in coordination with Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA) on August 25, 2015. In the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015, the EPA approved numerous revisions to Ecology's general air quality regulations. However, our approval of the updated Ecology regulations applied only to geographic areas where Ecology, and not a local air authority, has jurisdiction, and statewide to source categories over which Ecology has sole jurisdiction. This final approval allows BCAA to rely primarily on Ecology's general air quality regulations for sources within BCAA's jurisdiction, including implementation of the minor new source review and nonattainment new source review permitting programs. This final action also approves of a small set of BCAA regulatory provisions that replace or supplement parts of Ecology's general air quality regulations.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Washington: 
Additional Regulations for the Benton Clean Air Agency Jurisdiction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving 
revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were 
submitted by the Department of Ecology (Ecology) in coordination with 
Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA) on August 25, 2015. In the fall of 2014 
and spring of 2015, the EPA approved numerous revisions to Ecology's 
general air quality regulations. However, our approval of the updated 
Ecology regulations applied only to geographic areas where Ecology, and 
not a local air authority, has jurisdiction, and statewide to source 
categories over which Ecology has sole jurisdiction. This final 
approval allows BCAA to rely primarily on Ecology's general air quality 
regulations for sources within BCAA's jurisdiction, including 
implementation of the minor new source review and nonattainment new 
source review permitting programs. This final action also approves of a 
small set of BCAA regulatory provisions that replace or supplement 
parts of Ecology's general air quality regulations.

DATES: This final rule is effective December 17, 2015.

B. Regulations Approved But Not Incorporated by Reference

    In addition to the regulations approved and incorporated by 
reference above, the EPA reviews and approves state and local clean air 
agency submissions to ensure they provide adequate enforcement 
authority and other general authority to implement and enforce the SIP. 
However, regulations describing such agency enforcement and other 
general authority are generally not incorporated by reference so as to 
avoid potential conflict with the EPA's independent

[[Page 71698]]

authorities. The EPA reviewed and is approving BCAA, Regulation 1, 
Article 2, General Provisions, as having adequate enforcement and other 
general authority for purposes of implementing and enforcing the SIP, 
but is not incorporating this section by reference into the SIP 
codified in 40 CFR 52.2470(c). Instead, the EPA is including sections 
2.01, Powers and Duties of the Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA); 2.02, 
Requirements for Board of Directors Members (replaces WAC 173-400-220); 
2.03, Powers and Duties of the Board of Directors; 2.04, Powers and 
Duties of the Control Officer; 2.05, Severability; and 2.06, 
Confidentiality of Records and Information, in 40 CFR 52.2470(e), EPA 
Approved Nonregulatory Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures, as 
approved but not incorporated by reference regulatory provisions. 
Finally, for the reasons discussed above, the EPA is moving WAC 173-
400-220, Requirements for Board Members; WAC 173-400-230, Regulatory 
Actions; WAC 173-400-240, Criminal Penalties; WAC 173-400-250, Appeals; 
and WAC 173-400-260, Conflict of Interest, currently incorporated by 
reference in 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 4, to the list of provisions in 
40 CFR 52.2470(e) that are approved but not incorporated by reference.

C. Regulations Removed From the SIP

    The regulations contained in Washington's SIP at 40 CFR 
52.2470(c)--Table 4 were last approved by the EPA on June 2, 1995 (60 
FR 28726). The EPA is removing from this table WAC 173-400-010 and 173-
400-020 because these provisions are replaced by the BCAA corollaries 
1.02, Policy and Purpose and 1.03, Applicability, as shown in 
Attachment 2 of the SIP revision. We are also removing WAC 173-400-100, 
because this outdated provision is no longer part of the EPA-approved 
SIP for Ecology's direct jurisdiction under CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 2 and 
BCAA has requested that it be removed from the BCAA's jurisdiction 
under CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 4. For more information please see the 
EPA's proposed (79 FR 39351, July 10, 2014) and final (79 FR 59653, 
October 3, 2014) actions on the general provisions of Chapter 173-400 
WAC.

D. Scope of Proposed Action

    This revision to the SIP applies specifically to the BCAA 
jurisdiction incorporated into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 4. 
As discussed in the EPA's October 3, 2014 action on the general 
provisions of Chapter 173-400 WAC, jurisdiction is generally defined on 
a geographic basis (Benton County); however there are exceptions (79 FR 
59653 at page 59654). By statute, BCAA does not have authority for 
sources under the jurisdiction of the Energy Facilities Site Evaluation 
Council (EFSEC). See Revised Code of Washington Chapter 80.50. Under 
the applicability provisions of WAC 173-405-012, WAC 173-410-012, and 
WAC 173-415-012, BCAA also does not have jurisdiction for kraft pulp 
mills, sulfite pulping mills, and primary aluminum plants. For these 
sources, Ecology retains statewide, direct jurisdiction. Ecology also 
retains statewide, direct jurisdiction for the Prevention of 
Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting program. Therefore, the EPA 
is not approving into 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 4 those provisions of 
Chapter 173-400 WAC related to the PSD program. Specifically, these 
provisions are WAC 173-400-116 and WAC 173-400-700 through 750.
    As described in the EPA's April 29, 2015 action, jurisdiction to 
implement the visibility permitting program contained in WAC 173-400-
117 varies depending on the situation. Ecology retains authority to 
implement WAC 173-400-117 as it relates to PSD permits (80 FR 23721 at 
page 23726). However for facilities subject to nonattainment new source 
review (NNSR) under the applicability provisions of WAC 173-400-800, we 
are approving BCAA to implement those parts of WAC 173-400-117 as they 
relate to NNSR permits. See 80 FR 23726.
    Lastly, the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian reservations in 
the State, except for non-trust land within the exterior boundaries of 
the Puyallup Indian Reservation (also known as the 1873 Survey Area), 
or any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated 
that a tribe has jurisdiction.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is 
revising our incorporation by reference of 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 4 
``Additional Regulations Approved for the Benton Clean Air Agency 
(BCAA) Jurisdiction'' to reflect the regulations shown in the tables in 
section III.A. Regulations to Approve and Incorporate by Reference into 
the SIP and the rules removed from the SIP in section III.C. 
Regulations to Remove from the SIP. The EPA has made, and will continue 
to make, these documents generally available electronically through 
http://www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA 
office (see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more 
information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP 
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable 
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in 
reviewing SIP submissions, the 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 Orders 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 
2011);
     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 this action does not involve technical standards; and
     does not provide the 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 it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal

[[Page 71699]]

governments or preempt tribal law. This SIP revision is not approved to 
apply in Indian reservations in the State or any other area where the 
EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction.
    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. The 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 January 19, 2016. 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).
