[EPA-R02-OAR-2017-0101; FRL-9977-61--Region 2]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New Jersey;
Motor Vehicle Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
request from New Jersey to revise its State Implementation Plan (SIP)
to incorporate revisions to the motor vehicle enhanced inspection and
maintenance (I/M) program. New Jersey has made several amendments to
its I/M program and has requested that the SIP be revised to include
these changes. EPA is approving New Jersey's amendments to its I/M
program to discontinue idle tests on model years 1995 and older light
duty gasoline vehicles, idle tests on heavy-duty gasoline vehicles and
gas cap leak testing. In addition, heavy-duty gasoline vehicles
equipped with on-board diagnostics (OBD) will be subject to OBD testing
with this revision. The intended effect of this action is to maintain
consistency between the State-adopted rules and the federally approved
SIP.

DATES: This rule is effective on June 8, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under

I. What action is the EPA taking today?

The EPA is approving a request from New Jersey to revise its SIP to
incorporate revisions to the enhanced inspection and maintenance (I/M)
program.

II. What was submitted by the NJDEP and how did the EPA respond?

On September 16, 2016, New Jersey submitted to the EPA revisions to
the New Jersey SIP pertaining to New Jersey's motor vehicle enhanced I/
M program. On October 6, 2017 (82 FR 46742), the EPA published a notice
of proposed rulemaking to approve the revisions to the SIP for New
Jersey's I/M program. The revisions submitted by New Jersey include:
Discontinuing the two-speed idle tests on model year 1981-
1995 light duty gasoline vehicles, idle tests on pre-1981 model year
light duty gasoline vehicles, and idle tests on heavy-duty gasoline
vehicles;
Discontinuing the smoke opacity test for diesel-powered
vehicles equipped with an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system;
Discontinuing the rolling acceleration smoke opacity test
and the power brake smoke opacity test for heavy-duty diesel motor
vehicles;
Replacing the fuel cap leak test or gas cap test for
gasoline-fueled vehicles with a visual gas cap check to ensure the gas
cap is present;
Requiring an OBD test for every vehicle subject to
inspection that is required by the EPA to be equipped with an OBD
system;
Requiring inspections for commercial vehicles;
Requiring that re-inspections of all vehicles be performed
at New Jersey's decentralized I/M facilities;
Adding procedures for the diesel exhaust after-treatment
checks; and
Authorizing inspectors of both gasoline and diesel
vehicles to fail a vehicle if it is determined that there has been
tampering with the vehicle's emission controls.
The EPA's rationale for the proposed approval of the SIP revision
was presented in the October 6, 2017 proposal, referenced above, and
will not be restated here.

III. What comments were received in response to the EPA's proposed
action?

The proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period. During
this period, two comments were received. One comment discussed
greenhouse gas concerns and is not relevant to the content of the I/M
SIP revision submitted by New Jersey. The second comment and EPA's
response is discussed below.
Comment #2: An anonymous commenter asked ``Why would we not test
and control idling emissions? What is to be gained by not ensuring that
this doesn't allow harmful toxins and particulate matter into the air?
Do you want your child on line for the school bus that is idling and
spewing?''
Response: Under this SIP revision, New Jersey's revised SIP will
expand inspection test requirements to all vehicles with OBD systems
that are covered by New Jersey I/M testing program. Light duty gasoline
vehicles from model year 1996 and later, and heavy-duty engines and
vehicles between 8,500 and 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight rating
from 2008 and later are all required by EPA regulations to have OBD
systems.
The OBD system processes readings from sensors in the engine and
along the exhaust system to monitor and record indicators of engine
performance, performance of the fuel delivery system, and functioning
of the emission control system. The OBD system thus monitors for nearly
all potential emission control component malfunctions that may cause
excess vehicle emissions, and an OBD inspection test provides
technicians with timely and accurate emissions data and flags
malfunctions early, which helps vehicle owners better maintain their
vehicles. Thus, OBD inspection tests play a key role in helping states
meet national air quality standards, and offers significant benefits to
state and local agencies working to improve air quality through vehicle
inspection and maintenance programs.
New Jersey's SIP revision does eliminate tailpipe idle tests for
model year 1995 and earlier light duty vehicles and all heavy-duty
gasoline vehicles. However, the number of vehicles that will no longer
require idle testing and that also do not have OBD systems is a small
proportion of vehicles in New

[[Page 21175]]

Jersey, and is reducing in volume each year. In 2006, pre-1996 model
year vehicles subject to inspection under the existing rules
represented 30% of initial inspections, whereas those vehicles
represented only 3% of initial inspections in 2016.
The commenter also expressed concern regarding school buses. All
school buses in New Jersey undergo an annual emissions test, either an
OBD test for gasoline vehicles or smoke opacity for the larger diesel
vehicles. Finally, New Jersey's motor vehicle idling laws regarding
driving behavior remain in effect and are unaffected by this
rulemaking.

IV. What is the EPA's conclusion?

The EPA is approving New Jersey's revised I/M program discussed in
the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking titled ``Approval and Promulgation of
Implementation Plans; New Jersey; Motor Vehicle Enhanced Inspection and
Maintenance Program'' (82 FR 46742). The EPA is approving New Jersey's
request to eliminate exhaust emission tests or tailpipe testing for all
gasoline-powered motor vehicles and require OBD testing for all
vehicles, including heavy-duty gasoline vehicles, that are subject to
inspection and required by the EPA to be equipped with an OBD system.
The EPA is also approving New Jersey's revised procedures for diesel
exhaust after-treatment checks, standards for fuel leak checks, and
implementation of a visual gas cap check to ensure that the gas cap is
present on gasoline-powered vehicles (as a replacement for the fuel cap
leak test). For heavy-duty diesel-powered vehicles, the EPA is
approving New Jersey's repeal of the rolling acceleration smoke opacity
test and the power brake smoke opacity test. The State demonstrated
that neither the elimination of the tailpipe tests nor the other
amendments made under this SIP revision will result in an adverse
impact to air quality. Please refer to the October 6, 2017 proposed
rulemaking (82 FR 46742) for further details on all approved measures.
The EPA's authority to approve New Jersey's enhanced I/M program is set
forth at sections 110 and 182 of the Clean Air Act.

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 revisions
to portions of Title 7, Chapter 27: Subchapters 14 and 15; Chapter 27A:
Subchapter 3; Chapter 27B: Subchapters 4 and 5; and Title 13, Chapter
20: Subchapter 7, Subchapter 26, Subchapter 32, Subchapter 33,
Subchapter 43 and Subchapter 44 of the New Jersey Administrative Code
that implement New Jersey's Enhanced I/M Program, as described in
section II of this preamble.
The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 2
Office (please contact the person identified in the For Further
Information Contact section of this preamble for more information).
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\

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, the 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 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 Clean Air Act; 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).
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in 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 Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 9, 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

[[Page 21176]]

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)).
