I. Background and Purpose

    In section 169A(a)(1) of the 1977 Amendments to the Clean Air Act 
(CAA), Congress created a program for protecting visibility in the 
nation's national parks and wilderness areas. This section of the CAA 
establishes as a national goal the ``prevention of any future, and the 
remedying of any existing, impairment of visibility in mandatory Class 
I Federal areas \1\ which impairment results from manmade air 
pollution.'' Congress added section 169B to the CAA in 1990 to address 
regional haze issues. EPA promulgated a rule to address regional haze 
on July 1, 1999 (64 FR 35714), the Regional Haze Rule. The Regional 
Haze Rule revised the existing visibility regulations to integrate into 
the regulation provisions addressing regional haze impairment and 
established a comprehensive visibility protection program for Class I 
areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Areas designated as mandatory Class I Federal areas consist 
of national parks exceeding 6000 acres, wilderness areas and 
national memorial parks exceeding 5000 acres, and all international 
parks that were in existence on August 7, 1977 (42 U.S.C. 7472(a)). 
In accordance with section 169A of the CAA, EPA, in consultation 
with the Department of Interior, promulgated a list of 156 areas 
where visibility is identified as an important value (44 FR 69122, 
November 30, 1979). The extent of a mandatory Class I area includes 
subsequent changes in boundaries, such as park expansions (42 U.S.C. 
7472(a)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 10, 2014, EPA approved Connecticut's initial Regional Haze 
plan into the SIP. See 79 FR 39322. Specifically, as part of the 
approval, EPA approved into the Connecticut SIP Connecticut's 
legislation to reduce the sulfur in fuel content of home heating 
oil.\2\ \3\ EPA also approved Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies 
(RCSA) Section 22a-174-19a (Sec-19a) ``Control of Sulfur Dioxide 
Emissions from Power Plants and other Large Stationary Sources of Air 
Pollution'' in the July 2014 rulemaking. Sec-19a limits the sulfur in 
fuel oil content used in any emission unit subject to the provisions of 
RCSA section 22a-174-22b, the Post-2002 Nitrogen Oxides Budget Program. 
The emission units regulated by the Post-2002 Nitrogen Oxides Budget 
Program are baseline electricity generating units, cogeneration units, 
industrial units, and new electricity generating units.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Connecticut General Statute Title 16a-21a effective June 2, 
2008 in part limits the sulfur content of number two heating oil to 
500 parts per million (ppm) as of the date on which the last of the 
states of New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island made this 
requirement effective. The fuel sulfur limit became effective in 
these three states as of July 1, 2014.
    \3\ Sulfates play a major role in the formation of Regional Haze 
in the Northeast. (See the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use 
Management (NESCAUM) document Contributions to Regional Haze in the 
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, August 2006)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection 
(CT-DEEP) has now submitted a SIP revision concerning the sulfur 
content of fuel oils burned in stationary sources not subject to Sec-
19a. This revision supplements the State's earlier approved Regional 
Haze plan in that the revision will result in additional reductions of 
sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions (but was not legally required 
in order for EPA to have earlier approved Connecticut's Regional Haze 
plan).

II. Connecticut's SIP Revision

    On April 22, 2014, CT-DEEP submitted to EPA new RCSA section 22a-
174-19b (Sec-19b) ``Fuel Sulfur content Limitations for Stationary

[[Page 33136]]

Sources,'' revisions to SIP-approved RCSA section 22a-174-19 (Sec-19) 
``Control of Sulfur Compound Emissions,'' revisions to SIP-approved 
RCSA section 22a-174-19a ``Control of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from 
Power Plants and Other Large Stationary Sources of Air Pollution,'' and 
RSCA section 19-174-5 ``Methods for Sampling, Emission Testing, and 
Reporting.'' Supplemental revisions to Sec-19a and Sec-19b were 
submitted to EPA on June 18, 2015 and September 25, 2015, respectively.

III. EPA's Evaluation of Connecticut's SIP Revision

a. New Section 22a-174-19b ``Fuel Sulfur Content Limitations for 
Stationary Sources''

    The new Sec-19b applies to any person who, on or after July 1, 
2014, sells, supplies, offers for sale, stores, delivers or exchanges 
in trade, in the state of Connecticut, any fuel for combustion in a 
stationary source not subject to Sec-19a and to any person who, on or 
after July 1, 2014, combusts any fuel in a stationary source (not 
subject to section Sec-19a within the State of Connecticut.) Under Sec-
19b, the sulfur in fuel oil limits, in parts per million (ppm), for 
affected sources are:

                                     Maximum Fuel Sulfur Content, by Weight
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     Effective July 1, 2014 through June
            Fuel type                             30, 2018                  Effective on and after July 1, 2018
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distillate fuel oil or distillate  500 ppm (0.05%).......................  15 ppm (0.0015%).
 fuel oil blended with biodiesel
 fuel.
Residual oil or residual oil       10,000 ppm (1.0%).....................  3,000 ppm (0.3%).
 blended with biodiesel.
Aviation fuel combusted in a       3,000 ppm (0.3%)......................  3,000 ppm (0.3%).
 stationary source.
Kerosene.........................  400 ppm (0.04%).......................  15 ppm (0.0015%).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An exemption from the requirements of Sec 19b extends to: (1) Any 
person combusting fuel in fuel-burning equipment undergoing testing as 
part of a research and development operation; (2) fuel stored in the 
state of Connecticut that meets any of the applicable sulfur content 
limitations at the time it is stored; (3) any fuel stored in 
Connecticut for shipment, sale or use outside of the State; and (4) to 
any person who sells, supplies, offers for sale, stores for sale or 
combusts number two heating oil (home heating oil) subject to the 
sulfur content limitations of section 16a-21a of the Connecticut 
General Statutes.
    EPA finds that the revised sulfur in fuel limits for stationary 
sources adopted in Sec-19b are more stringent than the State's current 
SIP-approved requirements and will aid in the overall reduction of 
SO2 emissions from sources not already subject to limits 
under Sec-19a or of the Connecticut General Statutes. Therefore, EPA is 
approving Sec-19b.

b. Revisions to Section 22a-174-19 ``Control of Sulfur Compound 
Emissions''

    Sec-19 (previously codified as section 19-508-19 of Connecticut's 
regulations) was approved into the Connecticut SIP on November 18, 
1981. See 46 FR 56612. The revisions to Sec-19 included in 
Connecticut's April 22, 2014 submittal consist of: (1) The removal of 
Section 22a-174-19(a), ``Fuel combustion''; (2) revising the term 
``sulfur oxides'' to ``sulfur compound, expressed as sulfur dioxide;'' 
and (3) two other minor edits (``0 85'' is revised to ``0.85'' and ``0 
77'' is revised to ``0.77'') throughout the remainder of Sec-19. The 
previously SIP-approved section Sec-19(a) limited the sale, storage, 
and use of fuel which contains sulfur in excess of a maximum of one 
percent (1%) by weight. Revised Sec-19 now only applies to sulfuric 
acid plants, sulfur recovery plants, nonferrous smelters, sulfite pulp 
mills, and other process sources.
    The Clean Air Act (CAA) section 110(l) provides that EPA shall not 
approve any implementation plan revision if it would interfere with any 
applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable progress, 
or any other applicable requirement of the CAA, i.e., demonstrate anti-
backsliding. EPA finds that the requirements of the removed Sec-19(a) 
``Fuel combustion'' are maintained and incorporated in a more stringent 
manner into the combination of the more stringent revised Sec-19a 
``Control of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Power Plants and Other Large 
Stationary Sources of Air Pollution'' and the new Sec-19b ``Fuel Sulfur 
content Limitations for Stationary Sources.'' Therefore, the anti-
backsliding requirements of section 110(l) have been met. In addition, 
the revision of the term ``sulfur oxides'' to ``sulfur compound, 
expressed as sulfur dioxide'' is consistent with the previous 
definition of ``sulfur oxides'' found in the removed Sec-19(a). For all 
of the reasons above, EPA is approving Connecticut's revised Sec-19.

c. Revisions to Section 22a-174-19a ``Control of Sulfur Dioxide 
Emissions from Power Plants and Other Large Stationary Sources of Air 
Pollution''

    Sec-19a was approved into the Connecticut SIP on July 10, 2014. See 
79 FR 39322. The revisions to Sec-19a included in Connecticut's April 
22, 2014 submittal consist of: (1) The removal of section Sec-19a(c) 
sulfur dioxide emission standards and fuel sulfur limits effective on 
and after January 1, 2002; (2) in Sec-19a(e), the removal of a 
specified January 1, 2003 effective date; and (3) in Sec-19a(i), the 
allowance of more recent versions of the American Society for Testing 
and Materials (ASTM) test method D4294 and automatic sampling equipment 
conformance to ASTM test method D4177-82 or a more recent version of 
the same method. Our action to remove two of these Connecticut SIP 
requirements, and revise the third, is discussed below.
    The sulfur in fuel limit (0.5% sulfur, by weight) and emission 
limit (0.55 pound SO2 per MMBTU) required on or after 
January 1, 2002 by the removed Sec-19a(c) have been superseded by the 
more stringent fuel limits (0.3% sulfur, by weight) and emission limit 
(0.33 pound SO2 per MMBtu) required under Sec-19(e) which we 
are approving into the SIP. Similarly, Sec-19a(e) has been revised to 
remove the reference to a January 1, 2003 commencement date in relation 
to sulfur limits that are being removed from the SIP.
    Revised Sec-19a(i), which we are approving into the SIP, updates 
the record keeping requirements to allow the use of more recent 
versions of approved ASTM test methods and requires the owners and 
operators of the affected units to maintain all sulfur in fuel records 
on premises for five years. The previous version dictated that records 
need not be maintained for distillate oil, motor vehicle fuel, aircraft 
fuel, or gaseous fuel provided such fuels which had a sulfur content 
below 0.3% by weight. The version we are approving in this action 
corrects these omissions.

[[Page 33137]]

    Connecticut's revised Section 19a removes outdated requirements 
while maintaining the same level of SO2 control as the 
previous SIP-approved version. Therefore, the CAA's Section 110(l) 
anti-backsliding requirement has been met. In addition, EPA finds it 
appropriate to update the testing and sampling methods to conform to a 
more recent test method. EPA also finds it appropriate for the above-
referenced records to be maintained. Therefore, EPA is approving 
Connecticut's revised Sec-19a.

d. Revisions to Section 22a-174-5 ``Methods for Sampling, Emission 
Testing, and Reporting''

    Section 22a-174-5 (previously codified as Section 19-508-5 of 
Connecticut's regulations) was approved into the Connecticut SIP on 
August 28, 1981. See 46 FR 43418. Section 22a-174-5(b)(1) was 
subsequently revised by Connecticut to allow analysis for the sulfur 
content of liquid fuels to be done according to the American Society 
for Testing and Materials method D7039. EPA is approving the minor 
revision to Section 22a-174-5(b)(1) because EPA concurs that it should 
be an allowable method of analysis.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving, and incorporating into the Connecticut SIP, the 
Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies Section 22a-174-19 (as 
amended and described in Section III.b., above), Section 22a-174-
19a(e), Section 22a-174-19a(i), Section 22a-174-19b, and Section 22a-
174-5(b)(1), all as published in the Connecticut Law Journal on June 
24, 2014. EPA is also removing, without replacement, Section 22a-
19a(c), which was previously approved into the SIP. See 40 CFR Section 
52.370 (c)(103)(i)(A)(1).
    The EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates 
no adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this 
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document 
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should 
relevant adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective July 
25, 2016 without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant 
adverse comments by June 24, 2016.
    If the EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a notice 
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will 
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in 
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on the proposed rule. All parties 
interested in commenting on the proposed rule should do so at this 
time. If no such comments are received, the public is advised that this 
rule will be effective on July 25, 2016 and no further action will be 
taken on the proposed rule. Please note that if EPA receives adverse 
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that 
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 
as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an 
adverse comment.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the 
Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies described in the amendments 
to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue 
to make, these documents generally available electronically through 
www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office 
(see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more information).

VI. 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. 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 Clean Air Act. 
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 Orders12866 (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 application of those requirements would be inconsistent 
with the Clean Air Act; 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, the SIP 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 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).
