I. Background and Purpose

    On February 12, 2018, the EPA published a proposed rulemaking in 
the Federal Register to update a portion of the OCS Air Regulations. 
See 83 FR 5971. As stated in the EPA's February 12, 2018 proposed 
rulemaking, requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 
miles of states' seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to 
remain consistent with the requirements of the COA, as mandated by 
section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act. The portion of the OCS air 
regulations that is being updated in the proposed rulemaking pertains 
to the requirements for OCS sources for which Massachusetts is the 
designated COA. The intended effect of approving the OCS requirements 
for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) 
is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the 
requirements for onshore sources. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts' 
requirements discussed in the EPA's proposed rulemaking will be 
incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
and listed in the appendix to the OCS air regulations in 40 CFR part 
55.

II. Why is the EPA reopening the comment period?

    Among other things, the EPA's February 12, 2018 action proposed to 
incorporate into 40 CFR part 55 the applicable provisions of 310 Code 
of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) 7.00: Air Pollution Control, as 
amended through January 16, 2018. On March 9, 2018, the MassDEP 
promulgated amendments to the regulations at 310 CMR 7.00. Pursuant to 
40 CFR 55.12, consistency reviews will occur if the EPA finds that part 
55 is inconsistent

[[Page 21255]]

with the requirements in effect in the COA. Therefore, the EPA is 
including the Commonwealth's March 9, 2018 amended regulations for 310 
CMR 7.00 in the EPA's proposed consistency update to 40 CFR part 55 in 
addition to the other regulations EPA proposed for inclusion in the 
February 12, 2018 proposed rulemaking. The EPA has added the amended 
regulations at 310 CMR 7.00 to the docket and is reopening the comment 
period to give all interested persons the opportunity to comment on the 
incorporation by reference of the amended regulations at 310 CMR 
7.00.\1\ This document reopens the public comment period established in 
the Federal Register document on February 12, 2018 (83 FR 5971) (FRL-
9974-28--Region 1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The EPA is required to submit a true copy of the 
regulations, attested by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to the 
Office of the Federal Register for incorporation by reference in the 
final rule. The EPA obtained a true copy of the amended regulations 
in effect as of March 9, 2018. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts 
State Bookstore bundles 310 CMR 6.00, 310 CMR 7.00, and 310 CMR 8.00 
into a single package for the purpose of attesting a true copy. 
Although the regulations at 310 CMR 6.00 and 310 CMR 8.00 were not 
part of the March 9, 2018 amendments, the EPA has updated the 
effective date for 310 CMR 6.00-8.00 in the regulatory text proposed 
for incorporation by reference for consistency with the updated true 
copy of the regulations. The true copy of the regulations for 310 
CMR 6.00-8.00 obtained by the EPA has been added to the docket for 
this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To submit comments, or access the docket, please follow the 
detailed instructions provided in the ADDRESSES section of this Federal 
Register. Please refer to the EPA's February 12, 2018 (83 FR 5971) 
proposed rulemaking for more detailed information regarding this 
rulemaking action.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In the February 12, 2018 action, the EPA proposed to include in a 
final EPA rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by 
reference. The EPA is including the updated regulatory text below to 
reflect the March 9, 2018 effective date of the Commonwealth's amended 
regulations discussed in this document. In accordance with the 
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by 
reference the Code of Massachusetts Regulations rules set forth below. 
The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials available 
through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA New England Region 1 Office 
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
CONTACT section of this document for more information).
