Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving multiple state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These revisions were submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to establish and require reasonably available control technology (RACT) for individual major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and/or nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) pursuant to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's conditionally approved RACT regulations. In this rule action, EPA is only approving source-specific RACT determinations ("case-by-case" or alternative NO<INF>X</INF> emissions limits) for sources at nine major NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC emitting facilities located in Allegheny County. These RACT evaluations were submitted to meet RACT requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). EPA is approving these revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's implementing regulations.

Air Quality Standards
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
multiple state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These revisions were submitted by the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to
establish and require reasonably available control technology (RACT)
for individual major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and/or
nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) pursuant to the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania's conditionally approved RACT regulations. In this rule
action, EPA is only approving source-specific RACT determinations
(``case-by-case'' or alternative NO<INF>X</INF> emissions limits) for
sources at nine major NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC emitting facilities
located in Allegheny County. These RACT evaluations were submitted to
meet RACT requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS). EPA is approving these revisions to the
Pennsylvania SIP in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) and EPA's implementing regulations.
DATES: This final rule is effective on November 22, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On May 7, 2021, EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM). 86 FR 24564. In the NPRM, EPA proposed approval of case-by-case
RACT determinations for sources at ten facilities in Allegheny County,
as EPA found that that the RACT controls for these sources met the CAA
RACT requirements for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. PADEP, on behalf of
Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD), initially submitted
revisions to its SIP to address case-by-case NOx and VOC RACT for these
sources on May 7, 2020 and supplemented the submittal on February 9,
2021.
Under certain circumstances, states are required to submit SIP
revisions to address RACT requirements for both major sources of
NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC and any source covered by control technique
guidelines (CTG) for each ozone NAAQS. Which NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC
sources in Pennsylvania are considered ``major,'' and are therefore
subject to RACT, is dependent on the location of each source within the
Commonwealth. Sources located in nonattainment areas would be subject
to the ``major source'' definitions established under the CAA based on
the area's current classification(s). In Pennsylvania, sources located
in any ozone nonattainment areas outside of moderate or above are
subject to the major source threshold of 50 tons per year (tpy) because
of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) requirements in CAA section
184(b)(2).
On May 16, 2016, PADEP submitted a SIP revision addressing RACT for
both the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS in Pennsylvania. PADEP's May
16, 2016 SIP revision intended to address certain outstanding non-CTG
VOC RACT, VOC CTG RACT and major source VOC and NO<INF>X</INF> RACT
requirements for both standards. The SIP revision requested approval of
Pennsylvania's 25 Pa. Code 129.96-100, Additional RACT Requirements for
Major Sources of NO<INF>X</INF> and VOCs (the ``presumptive'' RACT II
rule). Prior to the adoption of the RACT II rule, Pennsylvania relied
on the NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC control measures in 25 Pa. Code 129.92-
95, Stationary Sources of NO<INF>X</INF> and VOCs, (the RACT I rule) to
meet RACT for non-CTG major VOC sources and major NO<INF>X</INF>
sources. The requirements of the RACT I rule remain approved into
Pennsylvania's SIP and continue to be implemented as RACT.\1\ On
September 26, 2017, PADEP submitted a letter, dated September 22, 2017,
which committed to address various deficiencies identified by EPA in
PADEP's May 16, 2016 ``presumptive'' RACT II rule SIP revision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The RACT I Rule was approved by EPA into the Pennsylvania
SIP on March 23, 1998. 63 FR 13789. Through this rule, certain
source-specific RACT I requirements will be superseded by more
stringent requirements. See Section II of the preamble to this Final
Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 9, 2019, EPA conditionally approved the RACT II rule based
on the commitments PADEP made in its September 22, 2017 letter.\2\ 84
FR 20274. In EPA's final conditional approval, EPA noted that PADEP
would be required to submit, for EPA's approval, SIP revisions to
address any facility-wide or system-wide NO<INF>X</INF> emissions
averaging plans approved under 25 Pa. Code 129.98 and any case-by-case
RACT determinations under 25 Pa. Code 129.99. PADEP committed to
submitting these additional SIP revisions within 12 months of EPA's
final conditional approval (i.e., by May 9, 2020). Through multiple
submissions between 2017 and 2020, PADEP has submitted to EPA for
approval various SIP submissions to implement its RACT II case-by-case
determinations and NO<INF>X</INF> averaging plan limits. This
rulemaking is based on EPA's review of one of these SIP submissions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ On August 27, 2020, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals
issued a decision vacating EPA's approval of three provisions of
Pennsylvania's presumptive RACT II rule applicable to certain coal-
fired power plants. Sierra Club v. EPA, 972 F.3d 290 (3d Cir. 2020).
None of the sources in this rule are subject to the three
presumptive RACT II provisions at issue in that Sierra Club
decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SIP revisions in this action only establish 2008 8-hour ozone
NAAQS RACT requirements. Applicable RACT requirements under the CAA for
sources located in Allegheny County for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS
were previously satisfied. See 78 FR 34584 (June 10, 2013).
II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis
A. Summary of SIP Revision
To satisfy a requirement from EPA's May 9, 2019 conditional
approval, PADEP submitted to EPA SIP revisions addressing alternative
NO<INF>X</INF> emissions limits and/or case-by-case RACT requirements
for major sources in Pennsylvania subject to 25 Pa. Code 129.98 or
129.99. Among the submitted SIP revisions were case-by-case RACT
determinations for sources in Allegheny County, which PADEP submitted
on behalf of ACHD. PADEP's submission included SIP revisions pertaining
to case-by-case RACT determinations for the existing emissions units at
each of the major sources of NO<INF>X</INF> and/or VOC that required a
case-by-case RACT determination.
In the case-by-case RACT determinations submitted by PADEP on
behalf of ACHD, an evaluation was completed to determine if previously
SIP-approved, case-by-case RACT emission limits or operational controls
(herein referred to as RACT I and contained in RACT I permits) were
more stringent than the new RACT II presumptive or case-by-case
requirements. If more stringent, the RACT I requirements will continue
to apply to the applicable source. If the new case-by-case RACT II
requirements are more stringent than the RACT I requirements, then the
RACT II requirements will supersede the prior RACT I requirements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ While the prior SIP-approved RACT I permit will remain part
of the SIP, this RACT II rule will incorporate by reference the RACT
II requirements through the RACT II permit and clarify the ongoing
applicability of specific conditions in the RACT I permit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, EPA is approving SIP revisions pertaining to case-by-case
RACT requirements for sources at nine major NO<INF>X</INF> and/or VOC
emitting facilities in Allegheny County, as summarized in Table 1 in
this document.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In its May 7, 2021 proposed rulemaking, EPA had proposed
approval of SIP revisions pertaining to case-by-case RACT
requirements for sources at ten major NO<INF>X</INF> and/or VOC
emitting facilities in Allegheny County. At this time, EPA is only
approving such SIP revisions at nine of those facilities and is not
taking final action on the SIP revision related to the PPG
Industries Inc. Springdale Plant.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The case-by-case RACT determinations submitted by PADEP, on behalf
of ACHD, consist of an evaluation of all reasonably available controls
at the time of evaluation for each affected emissions unit, resulting
in an ACHD determination of what specific emission limit or control
measures satisfy RACT for that particular unit. The adoption of new,
additional, or revised emission limits or control measures to existing
SIP-approved RACT I requirements were specified as requirements in new
or revised Federally enforceable permits (hereafter RACT II permits)
issued by ACHD to the source. These RACT II permits have been submitted
as part of the Pennsylvania RACT SIP revisions for EPA's approval into
the Pennsylvania SIP under 40 CFR 52.2020(d)(1). The RACT II permits
submitted by PADEP are listed in the last column of Table 1 of this
preamble, along with the permit effective date, and are part of the
docket for this rule, which is available online at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>, Docket No. EPA-R03-OAR-2020-0575.\5\ EPA is
incorporating by reference in the Pennsylvania SIP, via the RACT II
permits, source-specific RACT emission limits and control measures
under the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS for certain major sources of
NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC emissions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The RACT II permits included in the docket for this rule are
redacted versions of the facilities' Federally enforceable permits.
They reflect the specific RACT requirements being approved into the
Pennsylvania SIP via this final action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. EPA's Final Action
PADEP's SIP revisions incorporate ACHD's determinations of source-
specific RACT II controls for individual emission units at major
sources of NO<INF>X</INF> and/or VOC in Allegheny County, where those
units are not covered by or cannot meet Pennsylvania's presumptive RACT
regulation. After thorough review and evaluation of the information
provided by ACHD in the SIP revision submittals for sources at nine
major NO<INF>X</INF> and/or VOC emitting facilities in Allegheny
County, EPA found that (1) ACHD's case-by-case RACT determinations and
conclusions establish limits and/or controls on individual sources that
are reasonable and appropriately considered technically and
economically feasible controls and (2) ACHD's determinations are
consistent with the CAA, EPA regulations, and applicable EPA guidance.
ACHD, in its RACT II determinations, considered the prior source-
specific RACT requirements and, where more stringent, retained those
prior RACT requirements as part of its new RACT determinations. In the
NPRM, EPA proposed to find that all the proposed revisions to
previously SIP-approved RACT requirements would result in equivalent or
additional reductions of NO<INF>X</INF> and/or VOC emissions. The
proposed revisions should not interfere with any applicable
requirements concerning attainment of the NAAQS, reasonable further
progress, or other applicable requirements under section 110(l) of the
CAA.
Other specific requirements of the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS case-by-
case RACT determinations and the rationale for EPA's proposed action
are explained more thoroughly in the NPRM, and its associated technical
support document (TSD), and will not be restated here.
III. Public Comments and EPA Responses
EPA received comments from three commenters on the May 7, 2021
NPRM. 86 FR 24564. A summary of the comments and EPA's responses are
discussed in this section. A copy of the comments can be found in the
docket for this rule action.
Comment 1: Two commenters indicated that the permit for U.S Steel
Mon Valley Works--Clairton listed in the table of the document should
be Permit No. 0052-I020b effective, December 11, 2021 rather than
Permit No., 0052-I020a effective, December 7, 2021.
Response 1: EPA agrees with commenters and has corrected the permit
number and effective date indicated in the tables of this preamble.
Comment 2: One commenter identified that there is an appeal of the
RACT II permit for the PPG Springdale facility pending before ACHD's
Hearing Officer and, therefore, requested EPA not take final action on
the SIP revision.
Response 2: EPA is not taking final action on the PPG Springdale
RACT determination at this time and will act on this SIP revision in a
later rulemaking. EPA will respond to the comment at that time.
IV. Final Action
EPA is approving case-by-case RACT determinations for sources at
nine major NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC emitting facilities in Allegheny
County, as required to meet obligations pursuant to the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS, as revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
[[Page 58223]]
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of source-
specific RACT determinations and NOx averaging plan limits under the
1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS for certain major sources of VOC and
NO<INF>X</INF> in Allegheny County. EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally available through <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> and at the EPA Region III 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 SIP, 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 rule of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. General Requirements
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:
<bullet> 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);
<bullet> Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
<bullet> 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.);
<bullet> 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);
<bullet> Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
<bullet> Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
<bullet> 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
<bullet> 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, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
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. Section 804, however, exempts from section 801 the
following types of rules: Rules of particular applicability; rules
relating to agency management or personnel; and rules of agency
organization, procedure, or practice that do not substantially affect
the rights or obligations of non-agency parties. 5 U.S.C. 804(3).
Because this is a rule of particular applicability, EPA is not required
to submit a rule report regarding this action under section 801.
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
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 December 20, 2021. 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 approving Pennsylvania's NO<INF>X</INF> and VOC RACT
requirements for nine facilities for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS may
not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements.
(See section 307(b)(2).)
