ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 61 and 63
[EPA-R06-OAR-2020-0086; FRL-12761-02-R6]
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants;
Delegation of Authority to Oklahoma
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; notice of delegation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) has
[[Page 53]]
submitted updated regulations for receiving delegation and approval of
its program for the implementation and enforcement of certain National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for all
sources as provided for under previously approved delegation
mechanisms. The updated State regulations incorporate by reference
certain NESHAP promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
at parts 61 and 63, as they existed through June 30, 2023. The EPA is
providing notice that it is taking final action to approve the
delegation of certain NESHAP to ODEQ. The delegation of authority under
this action applies to sources located in certain areas of Indian
country as discussed herein.
DATES: This rule is effective on February 2, 2026.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R06-OAR-2020-0086. All documents in the docket are
listed on the <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g.,
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the internet. Publicly available
docket materials are available electronically through <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our July
10, 2025, proposal (90 FR 30613). In that document we proposed to
approve updating the delegation of certain NESHAP to ODEQ. The
delegation provides ODEQ with the primary responsibility to implement
and enforce the delegated standards, as they existed through June 30,
2023.
II. Response to Comments
EPA received two anonymous public comments. One recommends EPA not
delegate NESHAP implementation and enforcement authority to ODEQ on
account of emissions from fossil fuels costing taxpayers. We thank the
commenter for the comment but find it to be beyond the scope of this
action. This action approves ODEQ's requested updates to its current
NESHAP delegation, it does not speak to fossil fuel emissions more
broadly, the appropriate regulatory mechanism for such emissions, or
the cost associated with regulating the industry. The second comment
recommends EPA encourage ODEQ to conduct integrated emissions planning
that considers carbon dioxide emissions in addition to hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) emissions. We thank the commenter for the comment but
find the request to be beyond the scope of this action. As previously
noted, this action approves ODEQ's requested updates to its current
NESHAP delegation, it does not speak to Oklahoma's broader regulatory
scheme or the regulation of emissions beyond HAPs. As such, we are
finalizing the NESHAP delegation to ODEQ as proposed.
III. Impacts on Areas of Indian Country
Following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma,
140 S. Ct. 2452 (2020), the Governor of the State of Oklahoma requested
approval under section 10211(a) of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005: A Legacy for Users, Public
Law 109-59, 119 Stat. 1144, 1937 (August 10, 2005) (``SAFETEA''), to
administer in certain areas of Indian country (as defined at 18 U.S.C.
1151) the State's environmental regulatory programs that were
previously approved by the EPA outside of Indian country. The State's
request excluded certain areas of Indian country further described
below.
The EPA has approved Oklahoma's SAFETEA request to administer all
of the State's EPA-approved environmental regulatory programs in the
requested areas of Indian country. As requested by Oklahoma, the EPA's
approval under SAFETEA does not include Indian country lands, including
rights-of-way running through the same, that: (1) qualify as Indian
allotments, the Indian titles to which have not been extinguished,
under 18 U.S.C. 1151(c); (2) are held in trust by the United States on
behalf of an individual Indian or Tribe; or (3) are owned in fee by a
Tribe, if the Tribe (a) acquired that fee title to such land, or an
area that included such land, in accordance with a treaty with the
United States to which such Tribe was a party, and (b) never allotted
the land to a member or citizen of the Tribe (collectively ``excluded
Indian country lands'').
The EPA's approval under SAFETEA expressly provided that to the
extent the EPA's prior approvals of Oklahoma's environmental programs
excluded Indian country, any such exclusions are superseded for the
geographic areas of Indian country covered by the EPA's approval of
Oklahoma's SAFETEA request. The approval also provided that future
revisions or amendments to Oklahoma's approved environmental regulatory
programs would extend to the covered areas of Indian country (without
any further need for additional requests under SAFETEA).
As explained above, the EPA is finalizing an update to the Oklahoma
NESHAP delegation which will apply statewide in Oklahoma. Consistent
with the EPA's SAFETEA approval, this NESHAP delegation will apply to
areas of Indian country pursuant to the SAFETEA approval, including to
all Indian country in the State of Oklahoma other than the excluded
Indian country lands as described above.
IV. Final Action
EPA is taking final action to approve updates to the Oklahoma
NESHAP delegation so as to provide the ODEQ with the authority to
implement and enforce certain newly incorporated NESHAP promulgated by
the EPA and amendments to existing standards currently delegated, as
they existed through June 30, 2023.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator has the authority to approve
section 112(l) submissions that comply with the provisions of the Act
and applicable Federal regulations. In reviewing section 112(l)
submissions, the EPA's role is to approve State choices, provided that
they meet the criteria and objectives of the CAA and of the EPA's
implementing regulations. Accordingly, this action merely approves the
State's request as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law.
For this action, a review of all applicable Statutory and Executive
Orders are indicated as follows:
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and was therefore
not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review.
[[Page 54]]
B. Executive Order 14192: Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation
This action is not an Executive Order 14192 regulatory action
because this action is not significant under Executive Order 12866.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) because it does not contain any
information collection activities.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This action is certified to not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.). This action approves the delegation of federal rules as
requested by the state agency and will therefore have no net regulatory
burden for all directly regulated small entities.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. This action imposes no enforceable duty on any
State, local, or Tribal governments or the private sector.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This approval of ODEQ's request to update their NESHAP delegation
will apply to certain areas of Indian country throughout Oklahoma as
discussed in the preamble, and therefore has Tribal implications as
specified in E.O. 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). However, this
action will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on
federally recognized Tribal governments, nor preempt Tribal law. This
action will not impose substantial direct compliance costs on federally
recognized Tribal governments because no actions will be required of
Tribal governments. This action will also not preempt Tribal law as no
Oklahoma Tribe implements a regulatory program under the CAA, and thus
does not have applicable or related Tribal laws. Consistent with the
EPA Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes
(December 7, 2023), the EPA has offered consultation to all 38 Tribal
governments whose lands are located within the exterior boundaries of
the State of Oklahoma and that may be affected by this action and
provided information about this action.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to
regulatory actions considered significant under section 3(f)(1) of
Executive Order 12866 and that concern environmental health or safety
risks that EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of Executive Order 13045. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it approves a state program.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. This action
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 (CAA).
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. 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 March 3, 2026. 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)).
