The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve portions of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, submitted by the State of South Carolina, through the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on April 30, 2014, to demonstrate that the State meets certain infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2010 1-hour nitrogen dioxide (NO<INF>2</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is commonly referred to as an ``infrastructure'' SIP. SC DHEC certified that the South Carolina SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2010 NO<INF>2</INF> NAAQS are implemented, enforced, and maintained in South Carolina. EPA has determined that South Carolina's SIP satisfies certain required infrastructure elements for the 2010 NO<INF>2</INF> NAAQS.

Air Plan Approval; SC Infrastructure Requirements for the 2010 1-
Hour NO2 NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final 
action to approve portions of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
submission, submitted by the State of South Carolina, through the South 
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on 
April 30, 2014, to demonstrate that the State meets certain 
infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 
2010 1-hour nitrogen dioxide (NO2) national ambient air 
quality standards (NAAQS). The CAA requires that each state adopt and 
submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of 
each NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is commonly referred to as an 
``infrastructure'' SIP. SC DHEC certified that the South Carolina SIP 
contains provisions that ensure the 2010 NO2 NAAQS are 
implemented, enforced, and maintained in South Carolina. EPA has 
determined that South Carolina's SIP satisfies certain required 
infrastructure elements for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS.

DATES: This rule will be effective October 17, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Overview

    On January 22, 2010, (published at 75 FR 6474, February 9, 2010), 
EPA promulgated a new 1-hour primary NAAQS for NO2 at a 
level of 100 parts per billion, based on a 3-year average of the 98th 
percentile of the yearly distribution of 1-hour daily maximum 
concentrations. Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the CAA, states are 
required to submit SIPs meeting the requirements of section 110(a)(2) 
within three years after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS or 
within such shorter period as EPA may prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) 
requires states to address basic SIP elements such as requirements for 
monitoring, basic program requirements and legal authority that are 
designed to assure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. States were 
required to submit such SIPs for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS to EPA 
no later than January 22, 2013.
    In a proposed rulemaking published on June 27, 2016 (81 FR 41498), 
EPA proposed to approve South Carolina's 2010 1-hour NO2 
NAAQS infrastructure SIP submission submitted on April 30, 2014, with 
the exception of the PSD permitting requirements for major sources of 
sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 of D(i), and (J) and the interstate 
transport requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II) (prongs 
1, 2, and 4), for which EPA did not propose any action. On March 18, 
2015 (80 FR 14019), EPA approved South Carolina's April 30, 2014, 
infrastructure SIP submission regarding the PSD permitting requirements 
for major sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 of D(i), and (J) 
for the 2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS. Therefore, EPA is not taking 
any action today pertaining to sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 of D(i) 
and (J). On August 22, 2016 (81 FR 56512) EPA conditionally approved 
South Carolina's April 30, 2014, infrastructure SIP submission 
regarding prong 4 of D(i) for the 2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS. 
Therefore, EPA is not taking any action today pertaining to prong 4. 
With respect to the interstate transport requirements of section 
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) (prongs 1 and 2), EPA does not yet have a submission 
before the Agency for action. The details of South Carolina's 
submission and the rationale for EPA's action are explained in the 
proposed rulemaking. Comments on the proposed rulemaking were due on or 
before July 28, 2016. EPA received no adverse comments on the proposed 
action.

II. Final Action

    With the exception of the PSD permitting requirements for major 
sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 of D(i), and (J) and the 
interstate transport requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and 
(II) (prongs 1, 2, and 4), EPA is taking final action to approve South 
Carolina's infrastructure SIP submission for the 2010 1-hour 
NO2 NAAQS. EPA is taking final action to approve portions of 
South Carolina's infrastructure SIP submission for the 2010 1-hour 
NO2 NAAQS because it is consistent with section 110 of the 
CAA.

III. 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.);

[[Page 63705]]

     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 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).
    In addition, this action for the state of South Carolina does not 
have Tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 
67249, November 9, 2000). The Catawba Indian Nation Reservation is 
located within the State of South Carolina. Pursuant to the Catawba 
Indian Claims Settlement Act, South Carolina statute 27-16-120, ``all 
state and local environmental laws and regulations apply to the 
[Catawba Indian Nation] and Reservation and are fully enforceable by 
all relevant state and local agencies and authorities.'' However, EPA 
has determined that this rule does not have substantial direct effects 
on an Indian Tribe because this action is not approving any specific 
rule, but rather approving that South Carolina's already approved SIP 
meets certain CAA requirements. EPA notes this action will not 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 November 15, 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).
