Air Plan Approval; Illinois; Redesignation of the Chicago and 
Granite City Areas to Attainment of the 2008 Lead Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the 
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's (Illinois EPA's) request to 
redesignate the Chicago and Granite City nonattainment areas (hereafter 
also referred to as the ``areas'') to attainment for the 2008 national 
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or standards) for lead, also 
identified as Pb. EPA is also approving, as revisions to the Illinois 
state implementation plan (SIP): The state's plan for maintaining the 
2008 lead NAAQS in the areas for a period of ten years following these 
redesignations; the emissions inventories for the areas; and rules 
applying emission limits and other control requirements to lead sources 
in the areas. EPA is taking these actions in accordance with applicable 
regulations and guidance that address implementation of the 2008 lead 
NAAQS. EPA proposed this action on October 18, 2017, and received two 
public comments in response.

DATES: This final rule is effective on March 28, 2018.

I. What is the background for this final rule?

    On November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66964), EPA established the 2008 
primary and secondary lead NAAQS at 0.15 micrograms per cubic meter 
([mu]g/m\3\) based on a maximum arithmetic 3-month mean concentration 
for a 3-year period. See 40 CFR 50.16.
    On November 22, 2010 (75 FR 71033), and November 22, 2011 (76 FR 
72097), EPA designated the Granite City and Chicago areas, 
respectively, as nonattainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS. See 40 CFR 
81.314.
    On January 9, 2014, Illinois EPA submitted to EPA attainment plans 
for the 2008 lead NAAQS. This submission included a request to 
incorporate into the Illinois SIP new rules for lead emission sources 
at Title 35 Illinois Administrative Code (Ill. Adm. Code) Part 226. On 
June 17, 2014, Illinois EPA supplemented this submission with

[[Page 13199]]

additional information regarding the state rulemaking process.
    On August 24, 2015 (80 FR 51127), EPA published a clean data 
determination for the Chicago area, based upon air monitoring data for 
the 2012-2014 design period showing that the area achieved attainment 
of the 2008 Pb NAAQS.
    On September 22, 2016, Illinois EPA requested that the Granite City 
and Chicago lead nonattainment areas be redesignated to attainment for 
the 2008 lead NAAQS and submitted maintenance plans for the areas as a 
proposed revision to the Illinois SIP. In this September 22, 2016, 
submission, Illinois EPA withdrew most parts of the previous two 
submissions, but did not withdraw the request that EPA approve, as a 
revision to the Illinois SIP, the requirements at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 
Part 226 to limit lead emissions in the areas. Illinois similarly did 
not withdraw certain attachments and support documents, such as 
emissions inventories and modeling data, that are relevant to the 
request. On February 16, 2017, Illinois EPA clarified certain details 
regarding the maintenance plan components of its September 22, 2016 
submission.
    On October 18, 2017 (82 FR 48448), EPA published a direct final 
rule approving Illinois EPA's request to redesignate the Chicago and 
Granite City nonattainment areas to attainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS, 
the state's maintenance plans for the areas, emissions inventories for 
the areas, and rules applying emission limits and other control 
requirements to lead sources in the areas. EPA also concurrently issued 
a proposal on October 18, 2017 (82 FR 48475). The direct final rule 
contains a detailed analysis of Illinois's submittal and the applicable 
requirements for purpose of redesignation. In the direct final rule, 
EPA stated that if adverse comments were received by November 17, 2017, 
the rule would be withdrawn and would not take effect. EPA received an 
adverse comment prior to the close of the comment period; therefore, on 
December 8, 2017 (82 FR 57853), EPA published a withdrawal of the 
direct final rule. EPA is addressing that adverse comment, as well as 
an additional comment, in this final action.

II. What are EPA's responses to comments?

    During the comment period, EPA received two comments, one of which 
is adverse. A summary of both comments and EPA's responses are provided 
below.
    Comment 1: A commenter writes that EPA ``should request to redesign 
[sic] Chicago and Granite City nonattainment areas because it will be 
good for the environment.'' The commenter further writes that ``in 
order to redesign the nonattainment areas in Chicago, workers should 
look for a solution for proper sanitation and developing a better 
ecosystem. Workers should focus on the factors that caused the area to 
become nonattainment. They should also measure the environmental 
conditions such as the temperature of the area.'' The commenter notes 
that ``high amounts of pollution can put people's health at risk'' and 
``if there are high amounts of pollution in the area then the area is 
considered to be nonattainment.''
    Response 1: This comment does not provide information that would 
alter EPA's evaluation of the State's request to redesignate the 
Chicago and Granite City areas, which is based on the applicable 
statutory criteria. 82 FR 48448, 48450-56. EPA agrees that high amounts 
of pollution can be deleterious to public health, and notes that 
Illinois' control measures at 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 226 address the 
main factors that caused the areas to be designated as nonattainment 
for the 2008 lead NAAQS.
    Comment 2: A commenter writes that EPA ``shouldn't approve this 
redesignation request due to the unachievable limits modeled for the 
Mayco and H. Kramer sources'' within the Granite City and Chicago 
areas, respectively. Specifically, the commenter identifies the 
following as sources with ``limits modeled that are impossible to 
acheive [sic] in practice'': Four sources at H. Kramer with limits of 
0.0001 grains per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf); a wet scrubber, 
existing baghouse and one power vent at H. Kramer with limits of 
0.00001 gr/dscf; and unspecified point sources at Mayco with limits of 
0.01 and 0.001 grs/dscf. Regarding the limit of 0.00001 gr/dscf, the 
commenter states that ``filter cartridge manufacturers state they 
cannot guarantee capture efficiency or even control efficiency at such 
a minute standard.'' The commenter further writes that ``EPA must be 
able to show that these modeled limits are actually achievable in 
practice otherwise the redesignation request is faulted to an 
extraordinary degree.''
    Response 2: EPA disagrees with the commenter's statements, and 
notes that the commenter has supplied no evidence supporting claims 
that the control measures applying to the H. Kramer and Mayco 
facilities are unachievable. EPA is not required by section 
107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA to demonstrate that permanent and federally 
enforceable measures are achievable in practice in order to rely on 
those measures for purposes of redesignation. In any case, as discussed 
below, Illinois EPA has provided emissions test information that show 
the limits are achievable and are being met.
    The lead limits applicable to emission units at the H. Kramer and 
Mayco sources are codified at 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 226. EPA notes 
that the commenter has mischaracterized the limits that apply to Mayco. 
As shown in the modeling analysis submitted by Illinois on January 9, 
2014, there is no emission unit at Mayco subject to limits of 0.01 gr/
dscf. In fact, the modeling in Illinois' submission lists four emission 
units at Mayco: One baghouse limited to 0.001 gr/dscf, as well as three 
baghouses limited to 0.0001 gr/dscf. Similarly, the modeling lists 
seven emission units at H. Kramer: Two powered vents and two new 
baghouses limited to 0.0001 gr/dscf, as well as one powered vent, one 
older baghouse, and one wet scrubber limited to 0.00001 gr/dscf.
    On December 7, 2017, and on March 14, 2018, in support of this 
final rulemaking, Illinois EPA provided EPA with information relevant 
to this comment. That information is provided in the docket for this 
rulemaking.
    Illinois EPA's information includes reports of emissions tests from 
the H. Kramer and Mayco facilities, and all available results indicate 
compliance with the applicable limits.
    Emissions tests conducted at H. Kramer in March 2016 indicate that 
the average concentration of lead emissions from H. Kramer's older 
baghouse and wet scrubber are 0.000000602 gr/dscf and 0.000000738 gr/
dscf, respectively, within the applicable limit of 0.00001 gr/dscf. 
Tests conducted at H. Kramer in April 2012 and June 2012 indicate that 
the average concentration of lead emissions from powered vents labeled 
``R1COOL'' AND ``R2COOL'' are 0.0000531 gr/dscf and 0.0000491 gr/dscf, 
respectively, within the applicable limit of 0.0001 gr/dscf, and the 
average concentration of lead emissions from powered vent labeled 
``INGOT'' is 0.0000055 gr/dscf, within the applicable limit of 0.00001 
gr/dscf. Tests conducted at H. Kramer in September 2013 indicate that 
the average concentration of lead emissions from new baghouses A and B 
are 0.000003 gr/dscf and 0.000001 gr/dscf, respectively, within the 
applicable limit of 0.0001 gr/dscf.
    Emissions tests conducted at Mayco in April 2016 and June 2016 also 
indicate that the average concentration of lead emissions from all 
units are within applicable limits. Tests of

[[Page 13200]]

Baghouse 1, also identified as ``cast-refine baghouse,'' showed 
emissions of 0.000081 gr/dscf, within the applicable limit of 0.0001 
gr/dscf. Tests of Baghouse 2, also identified as ``casting fugitives 
baghouse,'' showed emissions of 0.000014 gr/dscf, within the applicable 
limit of 0.001 gr/dscf. Tests of Baghouse 3, also identified as ``lead 
wool cartridge filter,'' showed emissions of 0.000023 gr/dscf, within 
the applicable limit of 0.0001 gr/dscf. Tests of Baghouse 6, also 
identified as ``shot department baghouse discharge,'' showed emissions 
of 0.000001 gr/dscf, within the applicable limit of 0.0001 gr/dscf.
    All tests were conducted according to EPA test methods provided at 
40 CFR part 60, appendix A, and all measured values are within the 
limits provided at 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 226. Therefore, EPA does not 
agree with commenter that these limits are unachievable in practice.
    Furthermore, the commenter's broad allegation regarding efficiency 
guarantees from cartridge manufacturers does not provide adequate 
support for the position that the limits are not achievable. The 
commenter did not include any details about what the manufacturer 
purportedly stated as to the control or capture efficiencies. In the 
information provided in December 2017, Illinois EPA noted that 
manufacturer statements about control and capture efficiencies usually 
apply to particulate matter emissions and are not specific to lead 
emissions. At H. Kramer and Mayco, lead is a small percentage of total 
particulate emitted from each point source, and lead emissions cannot 
be determined without additional laboratory analysis. Therefore, it is 
likely that any claim by a manufacturer regarding ``capture 
efficiency'' or ``control efficiency'' would not have been provided 
specifically with respect to lead in terms of gr/dscf. As such, those 
statements provide no relevant support for the contention that 
Illinois' lead limits are unachievable.
    Additionally, monitoring data show that ambient levels of lead 
pollution in these areas have fallen to lower levels within the 
standard of 0.15 [mu]g/m\3\ since the emission limits and control 
measures in 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 226 became effective. This supports 
EPA's redesignation of the areas to attainment because it shows the 
areas continue to attain the standard, and these improvements in air 
quality are due to permanent and enforceable measures that result from 
implementation of the SIP, which are two of the statutory criteria that 
EPA must demonstrate to redesignate an area under CAA section 
107(d)(3)(E). 82 FR 48454.

III. What actions is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving Illinois' request to redesignate the Chicago and 
Granite City areas from nonattainment to attainment for the 2008 lead 
NAAQS under section 107(d)(3)(E) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 
Specifically, section 107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA allows for redesignation 
provided that: (1) The Administrator determines that the area has 
attained the applicable NAAQS based on current air quality data; (2) 
the Administrator has fully approved an applicable SIP for the area 
under section 110(k) of the CAA; (3) the Administrator determines that 
the improvement in air quality is due to permanent and enforceable 
emission reductions resulting from implementation of the applicable 
SIP, Federal air pollution control regulations, or other permanent and 
enforceable emission reductions; (4) the Administrator has fully 
approved a maintenance plan for the area meeting the requirements of 
section 175A of the CAA; and (5) the state containing the area has met 
all requirements applicable to the area for purposes of redesignation 
under section 110 and the requirements for nonattainment areas under 
part D of the CAA. Based upon the analysis provided in our direct final 
rule published on October 18, 2017 (82 FR 48448), EPA finds that 
Illinois has met these criteria.
    Approval of this redesignation request changes the official 
designation of the Chicago, Illinois and Granite City, Illinois areas 
for the 2008 lead NAAQS, found at 40 CFR part 81, from nonattainment to 
attainment. This action also approves, as revisions to the Illinois 
SIP, the rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 226, maintenance plans for the 
2008 lead standard in the Chicago and Granite City areas, and Illinois' 
2012 emissions inventories for the Chicago and Granite City areas 
pursuant to section 172(c)(3) of the CAA.
    Section 172(c)(3) of the CAA requires areas to submit a 
comprehensive emissions inventory including all lead sources in the 
nonattainment area. EPA is approving the Illinois 2012 emissions 
inventories outlined in Table 5 of the October 17, 2017, direct final 
rule for the Chicago and Granite City areas as fulfilling this 
requirement.
    In its September 22, 2016, submission, Illinois EPA requested that 
EPA approve 35 Ill. Adm. Code Part 226 as a revision to the Illinois 
SIP as control measures to maintain attainment in the Chicago and 
Granite City areas. These rules control emissions from lead sources, 
specifically at the H. Kramer and Mayco facilities, and inclusion of 
these rules into the SIP makes these measures permanent and 
enforceable. In today's action, EPA is approving Illinois' request to 
modify the SIP to include these rules.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d), EPA finds there is good cause 
for these actions to become effective immediately upon publication. 
This is because a delayed effective date is unnecessary due to the 
nature of a redesignation to attainment, which relieves the area from 
certain CAA requirements that would otherwise apply to it. The 
immediate effective date for this action is authorized under both 5 
U.S.C. 553(d)(1), which provides that rulemaking actions may become 
effective less than 30 days after publication if the rule ``grants or 
recognizes an exemption or relieves a restriction,'' and section 
553(d)(3), which allows an effective date less than 30 days after 
publication ``as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found 
and published with the rule.'' The purpose of the 30-day waiting period 
prescribed in section 553(d) is to give affected parties a reasonable 
time to adjust their behavior and prepare before the final rule takes 
effect. Today's rule, however, does not create any new regulatory 
requirements such that affected parties would need time to prepare 
before the rule takes effect. Rather, today's rule relieves the state 
of planning requirements for these lead nonattainment area. For these 
reasons, EPA finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for these 
actions to become effective on the date of publication of these 
actions.

IV. 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 the Illinois 
Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 
below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents 
generally available through www.regulations.gov, and at the EPA Region 
5 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). 
Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in 
the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by reference by 
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 
EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference by the

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

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 CAA 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 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);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under 
Executive Order 12866;
     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).
    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).
    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 May 29, 2018. 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)).
