The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were submitted by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) in coordination with Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) on December 20, 2016. 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 agency, had jurisdiction, and statewide, to source categories over which Ecology had sole jurisdiction. Under the Washington Clean Air Act, local clean air agencies may adopt equally stringent or more stringent requirements in lieu of Ecology's general air quality regulations, if they so choose. Therefore, the EPA stated that we would evaluate the general air quality regulations as they applied to local jurisdictions in separate, future actions. This final action approves the submitted SWCAA general air quality regulations to replace or supplement the corresponding Ecology regulations for sources in SWCAA's jurisdiction, including implementation of the minor new source review and nonattainment new source review permitting programs. This action also approves a limited subset of Ecology regulations, for which there are no corresponding SWCAA corollaries, to apply in SWCAA's jurisdiction.

Air Plan Approval; Washington: General Regulations for Air 
Pollution Sources, Southwest 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 Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) in 
coordination with Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) on December 20, 
2016. 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 agency, had jurisdiction, and 
statewide, to source categories over which Ecology had sole 
jurisdiction. Under the Washington Clean Air Act, local clean air 
agencies may adopt equally stringent or more stringent requirements in 
lieu of Ecology's general air quality regulations, if they so choose. 
Therefore, the EPA stated that we would evaluate the general air 
quality regulations as they applied to local jurisdictions in separate, 
future actions. This final action approves the submitted SWCAA general 
air quality regulations to replace or supplement the corresponding 
Ecology regulations for sources in SWCAA's jurisdiction, including 
implementation of the minor new source review and nonattainment new 
source review permitting programs. This action also approves a limited 
subset of Ecology regulations, for which there are no corresponding 
SWCAA corollaries, to apply in SWCAA's jurisdiction.

DATES: This final rule is effective May 10, 2017.

I. Background Information

    On January 19, 2017, the EPA proposed to approve revisions to 
SWCAA's general air quality regulations and a limited subset of Ecology 
regulations to apply in SWCAA's jurisdiction (82 FR 6413). An 
explanation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements, a detailed 
analysis of the revisions, and the EPA's reasons for proposing approval 
were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking, and will not be 
restated here. The public comment period for this proposed rule ended 
on February 21, 2017. The EPA received two, separate anonymous comments 
on the proposal.

II. Response to Comments

    Comment #1: The commenter asserted that the EPA's proposed action 
is an example of federal overreach on state and local jurisdictions. 
The commenter also stated that the EPA's review and proposed approval 
of the SWCAA regulations violates the Tenth Amendment to the United 
States Constitution.
    Response: Under the CAA, as established and amended by Congress, 
state and local authorities take the lead in developing State 
Implementation Plans (SIP) that implement, maintain, and enforce the 
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), which are standards 
designed to protect public health and welfare from air pollution. In 
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices, 
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 
CFR 52.02(a). In this case, EPA has done just that--Washington elected 
to submit the SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision to the EPA, and the EPA 
has proposed to approve the submission based on our determination that 
it meets the requirements of the CAA. We are now finalizing our 
determination.
    With respect to the claim that the EPA's action in approving this 
SIP submittal violates the Tenth Amendment, the Supreme Court has 
repeatedly affirmed the constitutionality of federal statutes, such as 
Section 110 of the CAA, that allow States to administer federal 
programs but provide for direct federal administration if a State 
chooses not to administer it. See Texas v. EPA, 726 F.3d 180, 196-7 
(D.C. Cir. 2013) (citing New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144, 167-
8, 173-4 (1992); Hodel v. Va. Surface Mining & Reclamation Ass'n, Inc., 
452 U.S. 264m 288 (1981)).
    Comment #2: A second commenter wrote in support of the EPA's 
proposed approval of the SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision.
    Response: We are now finalizing our proposed determination that the 
SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision meets the requirements of the CAA.

III. Final Action

A. Regulations Approved and Incorporated by Reference Into the SIP

    The EPA is approving, and incorporating by reference, into the 
Washington SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 8--Additional Regulations 
Approved for the Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) Jurisdiction, the 
SWCAA and Ecology regulations listed in Tables 1 and 2 below for 
sources within SWCAA's jurisdiction.

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

B. Approved but Not Incorporated by Reference Regulations

    In addition to the regulations approved and incorporated by 
reference stated previously, 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 authorities. The EPA has reviewed and is approving SWCAA 
400-220 Requirements for Board Members, SWCAA 400-230 Regulatory 
Actions and Civil Penalties, SWCAA 400-240 Criminal Penalties, SWCAA 
400-250 Appeals, SWCAA 400-260 Conflict of Interest; SWCAA 400-270 
Confidentiality of Records and Information, and SWCAA 400-280 Powers of 
Agency as providing SWCAA adequate enforcement and other general 
authorities for purposes of implementing and enforcing its SIP. 
However, the EPA is not incorporating these sections by reference into 
the SIP codified in 40 CFR 52.2470(c). Instead, the EPA is including 
these sections in 40 CFR 52.2470(e), EPA Approved Nonregulatory 
Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures, as approved but not 
incorporated by reference regulatory provisions.

C. Regulations To Remove From the SIP

    The Ecology regulations contained in Washington's SIP at 40 CFR 
52.2470(c)--Table 8--Additional Regulations Approved for the Southwest 
Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) Jurisdiction were last approved by the EPA on 
June 2, 1995 (60 FR 28726). As discussed in the proposal for this 
action, under the Washington Clean Air Act, local air agencies have the 
option of adopting and implementing equally stringent or more stringent 
corresponding provisions to apply in lieu of Chapter 173-400 WAC, or 
parts of Chapter 173-400 WAC. With the exception of updated versions of 
WAC 173-400-117, 173-400-118, and 173-400-560, SWCAA requested that the 
submitted SWCAA regulations replace the existing WAC provisions 
currently in the SIP for its jurisdiction. Also as discussed in the 
proposal, we are removing from the SIP SWCAA 400-050(3) [formerly 400-
050(2)], 400-052, 400-070(6), 400-070(8)(c) [formerly 400-070(7)(c) and 
(d)], 400-074(2), 400-100, 400-101, and 400-109(4), because removal of 
these provisions would not interfere with any applicable requirement 
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress, or any other 
applicable requirement of the CAA. We also note that the SIP includes a 
reference to SWCAA 400-090 which was renumbered to SWCAA 400-091 on 
September 21, 1995. We are removing the reference to SWCAA 400-090 in 
the SIP which was inadvertently not addressed as part of our February 
26, 1997 approval of SWCAA 400-091 (62 FR 8624).

D. Scope of Proposed Action

    This revision to the Washington SIP applies specifically to the 
SWCAA jurisdiction incorporated at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 8. As 
discussed in our October 3, 2014 approval of revisions to the WAC, 
local air agency jurisdiction in Washington is generally defined on a 
geographic basis; however, there are exceptions (79 FR 59653, at page 
59654). By statute, SWCAA does not have authority for sources under the 
jurisdiction of the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC). 
See Revised Code of Washington Chapter 80.50. Under the applicability 
provisions of WAC 173-405-012, 173-410-012, and 173-415-012, SWCAA 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 8 the provisions of Chapter 173-400 WAC related to 
the PSD program. Specifically, the provisions are WAC 173-400-116 and 
WAC 173-400-700 through 750, already approved by the EPA as applying 
state-wide.
    Jurisdiction to implement the visibility permitting program 
contained in WAC 173-400-117 varies depending on the situation (see 80 
FR 23721, April 29, 2015, at page 80 FR 23726). Ecology retains 
authority to implement WAC 173-400-117 as it relates to PSD permits. 
However, for facilities subject to major nonattainment new source 
review (NSR) under the applicability provisions of SWCAA 400-800, we 
are approving SWCAA to implementing those parts of WAC 173-400-117 as 
they relate to major nonattainment NSR permits. We are also modifying 
the visibility protection Federal Implementation Plan contained in 40 
CFR 52.2498 to reflect the approval of WAC 173-400-117 as it applies to

[[Page 17139]]

implementation of the major nonattainment NSR program in SWCAA's 
jurisdiction.
    Lastly, this SIP revision is not approved to apply on any Indian 
reservation land in the State, or any other area where the EPA or an 
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction.

IV. 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 as described 
in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. These materials 
have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the State Implementation 
Plan, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA into that plan, 
are fully federally-enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA 
as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the EPA's approval, 
and will be incorporated by reference by the Director of the Federal 
Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\ The EPA has 
made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available 
through http://www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region 10 Office 
(please contact the person identified in the For Further Information 
Contact section of this preamble for more information).

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. 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).
    This SIP revision is not approved to apply on any Indian 
reservation land in Washington or any other area where the 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).
    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 June 9, 2017. 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)).
