details of Alabama's submission, as well as EPA's rationale for
approving the changes, are described in more detail in the March 7,
2025, NPRM. Comments on the NPRM, were due on or before April 7, 2025.
Two adverse comments and two comments in support were received on the
NPRM.
II. Response to Comments
All comments received on the NPRM are provided in the docket for
this final action. Summaries of the adverse comments and EPA's
responses to these comments are provided below.
Comment 1: A commenter recommends that EPA ``not approve the AL
state plan by lowering the standards and redefining definitions.'' The
commenter contends that approval will result in people suffering
negative consequences from poor air quality.
Response 1: EPA disagrees with the commenter because the revisions
to Alabama's SIP will not lower any standards. The amendments to
Chapter No. 335-3-1, General Provisions, revise the definition of
``volatile organic compounds'' (VOC) by adding ``trans-1,1,1,4,4,4
hexafluorobut-2-ene (HFO-1336mzz(E))'' to the list of organic compounds
that are exempted from being considered in the regulatory definition of
VOC. This is done in accordance with EPA's revision of its VOC
definition at 40 CFR 51.100(s) on February 8, 2023, which took into
consideration effects on human health and the environment as part of
the review process and exempted this compound because of its negligible
reactivity. See 88 FR 8226. EPA's longstanding policy is that compounds
of carbon with negligible reactivity need not be regulated to reduce
ozone and should be excluded from the regulatory definition of VOC.
Additionally, the amendments to Chapter No. 335-3-5, Control of Sulfur
Compound Emissions and Chapter No. 335-3-8, Nitrogen Oxides Emissions
are administrative in nature and merely address typographical errors
and bring the amended rules into compliance with Alabama's Legislative
Services Agency requirements.
Comment 2: A commenter summarizes EPA's proposed action in the
March 27, 2025, NPRM as proposing to incorporate federal requirements
for fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) into Alabama's
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting program to
align the State's permitting process with the federal PM<INF>2.5</INF>
standards. The commenter then provides comments, questions, and
supporting evidence on environmental justice, public health impacts,
monitoring and enforcement, economic impacts, stakeholder engagement,
and the timeline for implementation in the context of PSD permitting
requirements for the federal PM<INF>2.5</INF> standards.
Response 2: These comments are not relevant to EPA's action on
Alabama's December 20, 2023, SIP revision as proposed in the March 7,
2025, NPRM. The SIP revision at issue in the NPRM and in this final
rule does not address Alabama's PSD permitting program. The SIP
revision only modifies the definition of ``volatile organic compounds''
(VOC) to be consistent with federal regulations, addresses
typographical errors, and makes administrative changes to certain rules
within Chapter Nos. 335-3-5 and 335-3-8, as discussed above.
[[Page 19654]]
Alabama did submit a SIP revision on December 20, 2023, consisting
of changes to certain air permit regulations that have been amended by
the State agency since EPA last approved those provisions; however, EPA
will address these revisions in a separate rulemaking.
III. Incorporation by Reference

incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, and as discussed in Section I and II of this preamble, EPA is

effective February 12, 2024, which address typographical errors and
increase clarity and consistency with EPA's definitions and Alabama's
Legislative Services Agency requirements. EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials generally available through
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> and at the EPA Region 4 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 in the next update to the SIP compilation.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ EPA is also correcting the Chapter 335-3-1 title from
``General Provision'' to ``General Provisions'' in 40 CFR 52.50(c).
\3\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Final Action
EPA is approving Alabama's December 20, 2023, SIP revision
consisting of the aforementioned changes to Chapter No. 335-3-1,
General Provisions; Chapter No. 335-3-5, Control of Sulfur Compound
Emissions; and Chapter No. 335-3-8, Nitrogen Oxides Emissions for the
reasons discussed above.
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:
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
<bullet> Is not subject to Executive Order 14192 (90 FR 9065,
February 6, 2025) because SIP actions are exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866;
<bullet> Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
[[Page 19655]]
<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 subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
<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.
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).
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and 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 July 8, 2025. 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).
