The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a revision to the Alabama State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) on October 26, 2015. The revision modifies the definition of ``volatile organic compounds'' (VOC). Specifically, the revision adds three compounds to the list of those excluded from the VOC definition on the basis that these compounds make a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. This action is being taken pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Tropospheric ozone, commonly known as smog, occurs when VOC and 
nitrogen oxides (NOX) react in the atmosphere in the 
presence of sunlight. Because of the harmful health effects of ozone, 
EPA and state governments limit the amount of VOCs and NOX 
that can be released into the atmosphere. VOC are those compounds of 
carbon (excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, 
metallic carbides or carbonates, and ammonium carbonate) that form 
ozone through atmospheric photochemical reactions. Compounds of carbon 
(or organic compounds) have different levels of reactivity; they do not 
react at the same speed or do not form ozone to the same extent.
    Section 302(s) of the CAA specifies that EPA has the authority to 
define the meaning of ``VOC,'' and hence what compounds shall be 
treated as VOC for regulatory purposes. It has been EPA's policy that 
compounds of carbon with negligible reactivity need not be regulated to 
reduce ozone and should be excluded from the regulatory definition of 
VOC. See 42 FR 35314 (July 8, 1977), 70 FR 54046 (September 13, 2005). 
EPA

[[Page 49900]]

determines whether a given carbon compound has ``negligible'' 
reactivity by comparing the compound's reactivity to the reactivity of 
ethane. EPA lists these compounds in its regulations at 40 CFR 
51.100(s) and excludes them from the definition of VOC. The chemicals 
on this list are often called ``negligibly reactive.'' EPA may 
periodically revise the list of negligibly reactive compounds to add or 
delete compounds.
    EPA issued final rules approving the addition of three compounds to 
the list of those compounds excluded from the regulatory definition of 
VOC. The three compounds are: trans 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene 
(Solstice\TM\ 1233zd(E)), 78 FR 53029 (August 28, 2013); 2,3,3,3-
tetrafluoropropene, 78 FR 62451 (October 22, 2013); and 2-amino-2-
methyl-1-propanol (AMP), 79 FR 17037 (March 27, 2014). Alabama is 
updating its SIP to be consistent with those changes to federal 
regulations.

II. Analysis of State's Submittal

    On October 26, 2015, ADEM submitted a SIP revision \1\ to EPA for 
review and approval. The revision modifies the definition of VOC found 
at Alabama Administrative Code section 335-3-1-.02(gggg). Specifically, 
the revision adds three compounds--trans 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-
1-ene (Solstice\TM\ 1233zd(E)); 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene; and 2-
amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP)--to the list of those excluded from the 
VOC definition on the basis that each of these compounds makes a 
negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Alabama's October 26, 2015, submission to EPA also included 
changes to Alabama Administrative Code Chapters 335-3-5 and 335-3-8 
to implement EPA's Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and changes to the 
State's Regional Haze Plan. EPA is not taking action on those 
changes at this time. In addition, Alabama's October 26, 2015, 
submission included changes to Chapters 335-3-10 (New Source 
Performance Standards (NSPS)) and 335-3-11 (National Emissions 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)). The NSPS and 
NESHAP are not part of the federally approved Alabama SIP, thus EPA 
is not taking any action regarding Chapters 335-3-10 and 335-3-11 in 
today's rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These changes are consistent with section 110 of the CAA and meet 
the regulatory requirements pertaining to SIPs. Pursuant to CAA section 
110(l), the Administrator shall not approve a revision of a plan if the 
revision would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning 
attainment and reasonable further progress (as defined in CAA section 
171), or any other applicable requirement of the Act. The revision to 
Rule 335-3-1-.02(gggg) is approvable under section 110(l) because it 
reflects changes to federal regulations based on findings that the 
three aforementioned compounds are negligibly reactive.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of Alabama 
Regulation section 335-3-1-.02 ``Definitions,'' effective November 24, 
2015, which revised the definition of VOC. Therefore, this material has 
been approved by EPA for inclusion in the State implementation plan, 
has been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, is fully 
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the 
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be 
incorporated by reference by the Director of the Federal Register in 
the next update to the SIP compilation.\2\ EPA has made, and will 
continue to make, these materials generally available through 
www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact 
the person identified in the ``For Further Information Contact'' 
section of this preamble for more information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Final Action

    Pursuant to section 110 of the CAA, EPA is approving the revision 
to the Alabama SIP changing the VOC definition. EPA has evaluated 
Alabama's October 26, 2015, submittal and has determined that it meets 
the applicable requirements of the CAA and EPA regulations and is 
consistent with EPA policy.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 
adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective September 27, 
2016 without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments 
by August 29, 2016.
    If EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a document 
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. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period. Parties interested in commenting 
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public 
is advised that this rule will be effective on September 27, 2016 and 
no further action will be taken on the proposed rule.

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. See 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 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 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).

[[Page 49901]]

    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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it 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 September 27, 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are 
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of 
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules 
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate 
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can 
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed 
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to 
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
