II. What Action Is EPA Taking?
EPA is approving the Fairbanks CO maintenance Plan and
redesignating the Fairbanks Nonattainment Area from nonattainment to
attainment for CO as requested by the State of Alaska on June 21, 2004.
The maintenance plan demonstrates that Fairbanks will be able to remain
in attainment for the next 10 years. The Fairbanks, Alaska CO
nonattainment area is eligible for redesignation to attainment because
air quality data shows that it has not recorded a violation of the
primary or secondary CO air quality standards since 1999.
III. What Is the Background for This Action?
Upon enactment of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (the Act),
areas meeting the requirements of section 107(d) of the Act were
designated nonattainment for CO by operation of law. Under section
186(a) of the Act, each CO nonattainment area was also
[[Page 44603]]
classified by operation of law as either moderate or serious depending
on the severity of the area's air quality problems. Fairbanks was
classified as a moderate CO nonattainment area. Moderate CO
nonattainment areas were expected to attain the CO NAAQS as
expeditiously as practicable but no later than December 31, 1995. If a
moderate CO nonattainment area was unable to attain the CO NAAQS by
December 31, 1995, the area was reclassified as a serious CO
nonattainment area by operation of law. Fairbanks was unable to meet
the CO NAAQS by December 31, 1995, and was reclassified as a serious
nonattainment area effective March 30, 1998.
Fairbanks did not have the two years of clean data required to
attain the standard by December 31, 2000, the required attainment date
for CO serious areas, and under section 186(a)(4) of the Act, Alaska
requested and EPA granted a one year extension of the attainment date
deadline to December 31, 2001 (66 FR 28836, May 25, 2001). EPA made a
determination based on air quality data that the Fairbanks CO
nonattainment area in Alaska attained the NAAQS for CO of attainment
for CO effective August 5, 2002 (67 FR 44769, July 5, 2002).
On August 30, 2001, the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation (ADEC) submitted the Fairbanks CO attainment plan as a
revision to the Alaska SIP. We reviewed and subsequently approved the
revision effective April 5, 2002. (See 67 FR 5064, February 4, 2002.)
IV. What Evaluation Criteria Was Used for the Maintenance Plan and
Redesignation Request Review?
Section 107(d)(3)(E) of the Act states that EPA can redesignate an
area to attainment if the following conditions are met:
1. The State must attain the applicable NAAQS.
2. The area must have a fully approved SIP under section 110(k) of
the Act and the area must meet all the relevant requirements under
section 110 and part D of the Act.
3. The air quality improvement must be permanent and enforceable.
4. The area must have a fully approved maintenance plan pursuant to
section 175A of the Act.
V. EPA's Evaluation of the Fairbanks Maintenance Plan and Redesignation
Request
EPA has reviewed the State's maintenance plan and redesignation
request. EPA believes the ADEC submittal meets the requirements of
section 107(d)(3)(E). The following is a summary of EPA's evaluation
and a description of how each of the above requirements is met.
A. How Does the State Show That the Area Has Attained the CO NAAQS?
To attain the CO NAAQS, an area must have complete quality-assured
data showing no more than one exceedance of the standard per year at
any monitoring site in the nonattainment area for at least two
consecutive years. The redesignation of Fairbanks is based on air
quality data that shows that the CO standard was not violated from 2000
through 2003, or since. These data were collected by ADEC in accordance
with 40 CFR 50.8, and entered in the EPA Air Quality System database
following EPA guidance on quality assurance and quality control. Since
the Fairbanks, Alaska area has complete quality-assured monitoring data
showing attainment with no violations after 1999, the area has met the
statutory criterion for attainment of the CO NAAQS and EPA has already
found that the Fairbanks area attained the NAAQS (67 FR 44769, July 5,
2002).
B. Does the Area Have a Fully Approved SIP Under Section 110(k) of the
Act and Has the Area Met All the Relevant Requirements Under Section
110 and Part D of the Act?
Yes. Fairbanks was classified as a moderate nonattainment area upon
enactment of the Act in 1990. Fairbanks was unable to meet the CO NAAQS
by December 31, 1995, and was reclassified a serious nonattainment area
effective March 30, 1998. Therefore, the requirements applicable to the
Fairbanks nonattainment area for inclusion in the Alaska SIP included
an attainment demonstration, 1995 base year emission inventory with
periodic updates, basic motor vehicle inspection/maintenance (I/M)
program, contingency measures, conformity procedures, and a permit
program for new or modified major stationary sources. EPA has
previously approved all of these required elements into the Alaska SIP
(67 FR 5064, February 4, 2002).
C. Are the Improvements in Air Quality Permanent and Enforceable?
Yes. Emissions reductions were achieved through a number of
permanent and enforceable control measures including the Federal Motor
Vehicle Control Program establishing emission standards for new motor
vehicles; a basic I/M program, a technician training and certification
program, and an engine-block heater program.
ADEC has demonstrated that permanent and enforceable emission
reductions are responsible for the air quality improvement and that the
CO emissions in the base year are not artificially low due to a local
economic downturn or unusual or extreme weather patterns. We believe
the combination of certain existing EPA-approved SIP and Federal
measures result in permanent and enforceable reductions in ambient CO
levels that have allowed the area to attain the NAAQS.
D. Has the State Submitted a Fully Approved Maintenance Plan Pursuant
to Section 175A of the Act?
Probabilistic rollback modeling conducted by Fairbanks indicated
that additional emission reductions must be achieved to ensure
attainment of the NAAQS for the maintenance period. Therefore,
Fairbanks has committed to implementing additional CO control measures
for the maintenance period. The Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly
has adopted an ordinance that implements an episodic woodstove burning
ban whenever the Borough declares an air quality alert, and a consumer-
based oxygen sensor replacement program will begin in 2004. Today's
action by EPA approves the additional control measures and the
Fairbanks CO maintenance plan.
Section 175A sets forth the elements of a maintenance plan for
areas seeking redesignation from nonattainment to attainment. The plan
must demonstrate continued attainment of the applicable NAAQS for at
least ten years after the Administrator approves a redesignation to
attainment. Eight years after the redesignation, the State must submit
a revised maintenance plan which demonstrates attainment for the ten
years following the initial ten-year period. The maintenance plan must
contain contingency measures to be implemented if future NAAQS
violations occur. The Fairbanks CO maintenance plan meets the
requirements of 175A.
E. Did the State Provide Adequate Attainment Year and Maintenance Year
Emissions Inventories?
Yes. ADEC submitted comprehensive inventories of CO emissions from
point, area and mobile sources using 2002 as the attainment year. Since
air monitoring recorded attainment of CO in 2002, this is an acceptable
year for the attainment year inventory. This data was then used in
calculations to demonstrate that the CO standard will
[[Page 44604]]
be maintained in future years. ADEC calculated inventories for 2003-
2015. Future emission estimates are based on forecast assumptions of
reductions due to control measures, growth of the regional economy and
vehicle miles traveled.
Mobile sources are the greatest source of CO. Although vehicle use
is expected to increase in the future, more stringent Federal
automobile standards and removal of older, less efficient cars over
time will still result in an overall decline in CO emissions. The
projections in the maintenance plan demonstrate that future emissions
are not expected to exceed attainment year levels.
Total CO emissions were projected from the 2002 attainment year out
to 2015. These projected inventories were prepared according to EPA
guidance. Because compliance with the 8-hour CO standard is linked to
average daily emissions, emission estimates reflecting a typical winter
season day (tons of CO per day) were used for the maintenance
demonstration. The following table summarizes the 2002 attainment year
actual emissions and the 2015 projected emissions. The on-road mobile
emissions were modeled for 2003 and 2015 using MOBILE6 (version 6.2).
Emissions for intervening years were calculated on the basis of a
straight line interpolation between 2002 and 2015.

(Tons CO/Winter day)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year Mobile Area Non-road Point Total
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002 Attainment Year (Actuals)........................... 29.18 1.03 3.66 4.36 38.23
2015 Maintenance Year (Projected)........................ 15.78 1.10 4.18 4.77 25.83
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detailed inventory data for this action is contained in the docket
maintained by EPA.
F. How Will the State Continue to Verify Attainment?
In accordance with 40 CFR part 58 and EPA's Redesignation Guidance,
the Fairbanks North Star Borough has committed to continue monitoring
in this area in accordance with 40 CFR part 58. ADEC will also conduct
a comprehensive review of plan implementation and air quality status
eight years after redesignation. The State will then submit a SIP
revision that includes a full emissions inventory update and provides
for the continued maintenance of the standard ten years beyond the
initial ten-year period.
G. What Contingency Measures Does the State Provide?
Contingency strategies include but are not limited to additional
plug-ins, bus fleet replacement, paratransit vehicle replacement, road
system improvements, and I/M program improvements. These measures are
included in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program and are
scheduled for implementation.
H. How Will the State Provide for Subsequent Maintenance Plan
Revisions?
In accordance with section 175A(b) of the Act, the State has agreed
to submit a revised maintenance SIP eight years after the area is
redesignated to attainment. That revised SIP must provide for
maintenance of the standard for an additional ten years. It will
include a full emissions inventory update and projected emissions
demonstrating continued attainment for ten additional years.
I. Are the Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets Approvable as Required by
Section 176(c)(2)(A) of the Act and Outlined in the Conformity Rules,
40 CFR 93.118(e)(4)?
Section 176(c)(2)(A) of the Act requires regional transportation
plans to be consistent with the motor vehicle emissions budget
contained in the applicable air quality plan for the Fairbanks area.
The motor vehicle emissions budgets that are established for the 2002
attainment year and for 2010 and 2015 are approved for Fairbanks. They
are as follows:

[Tons CO/Winter Day]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year................................... 2004 2010 2015
CO emissions........................... 26.77 22.95 22.57
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The TSD summarizes how the CO motor vehicle emissions budget meets
the criteria contained in the conformity rule.
VI. Final Action
EPA is approving the Fairbanks CO Maintenance Plan and
redesignating the Fairbanks CO nonattainment area to attainment. This
redesignation is based on validated monitoring data and projections
made in the maintenance demonstration. EPA believes the area will
continue to meet the NAAQS for CO for at least ten years beyond this
redesignation, as required by the Act. Alaska has demonstrated
compliance with the requirements of section 107(d)(3)(E) based on
information provided by ADEC and contained in the Alaska SIP and
Fairbanks, Alaska CO maintenance plan. A Technical Support Document on
file at the EPA Region 10 office contains a detailed analysis and
rationale in support of the redesignation of Fairbank's CO
nonattainment area to attainment.
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements
[[Page 44605]]
under State law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty
beyond that required by State law, it does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as
described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-
4).
This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have federalism
implications because it does 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a State rule
implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically
significant.
In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not
impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
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. EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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 September 27, 2004. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
