Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Nevada; Wintertime
Oxygenated Gasoline Rule; Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program;
Redesignation of Truckee Meadows to Attainment for the Carbon Monoxide
Standard
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving certain submittals by the State of Nevada of
revisions to the Nevada state implementation plan that are intended to
provide for attainment and maintenance of the carbon monoxide national
ambient air quality standard in the Truckee Meadows nonattainment area
located within Washoe County, Nevada. These revisions include a local
wintertime oxygenated gasoline rule, a ``basic'' vehicle inspection and
maintenance program (including a performance standard evaluation),
current statutory provisions and State rules governing mobile sources,
a maintenance plan and related motor vehicle emissions budgets. EPA is
also approving Nevada's request to redesignate the Truckee Meadows
carbon monoxide nonattainment area to attainment. EPA is deferring
action on the proposal to rescind a provision previously approved in
the plan and related to inspection and maintenance of vehicles operated
on Federal installations. EPA is taking these actions pursuant to those
provisions of the
[[Page 38125]]
Clean Air Act that obligate the Agency to take action on submittals of
revisions to state implementation plans and requests for redesignation.
This action makes certain State and local measures and commitments
related to attainment and maintenance of the carbon monoxide standard
in Truckee Meadows federally enforceable as part of the Nevada state
implementation plan.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on August 4, 2008.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2007-0561 for
this action. The index to the docket is available electronically at
http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents in the

I. Proposed Action
On January 7, 2008 (73 FR 1175), under section 110(k)(3) of the
Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or ``Act''), EPA proposed to
approve certain submittals of revisions to the Nevada state
implementation plan (SIP) by the Nevada Division of Environmental
Protection (NDEP). These revisions are intended to provide for
attainment and maintenance of the carbon monoxide (CO) national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS) in the Truckee Meadows nonattainment area
located within Washoe County, Nevada. The specific SIP revision
submittals that we proposed to approve are listed in the following
table:

Area (September 2005).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specifically, we proposed to approve NDEP's SIP revision submittal
dated November 4, 2005 of the wintertime oxygenated gasoline rule as
amended on September 22, 2005 by the Washoe County District Board of
Health (``District'') and codified as District Regulations Governing
Air Quality Management section 040.095 (``District rule 040.095''). In
our proposed rule, we found that District rule 040.095 fulfills the
requirements of section 211(m) of the Act and applicable EPA
regulations.
We also proposed to approve the SIP revision submittal dated June
3, 1994 of the State Implementation Plan for a Basic Program for the
Inspection and Maintenance of Motor Vehicles for the Truckee Meadows
Planning Area, Nevada (June 1994) (``Basic I/M SIP''). In connection
with the basic vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program in
Truckee Meadows, we proposed to approve two subsequent SIP revision
submittals: a ``basic'' I/M performance standard evaluation (``Basic I/
M Performance Standard Evaluation'') submitted on November 2, 2006 and
the Nevada Mobile Source SIP, Update of the Regulatory Element (May 11,
2007) (``Mobile Source SIP Update'') submitted on May 11, 2007. Among
other items, NDEP's Mobile Source SIP Update contains current I/M-
related statutory provisions, regulations, and updated exhaust gas
analyzer specifications.\1\ Based on our review of the various elements
of the program, we proposed to approve the basic I/M program for
Truckee Meadows as meeting the requirements of CAA section 187(a)(4)
and our implementing regulations, including the ``basic'' performance
standard that applies to ``moderate'' CO nonattainment areas with
design values less than 12.7 ppm (such as Truckee Meadows).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The statutory provisions and rules submitted by NDEP on May
11, 2007 represent a comprehensive update to the regulatory portion
of the State's mobile source SIP (excluding the rules establishing
fuels specifications, alternative fuels programs for government
vehicles, and local rules related to mobile sources), including the
regulatory portion of the State's Truckee Meadows I/M SIP, which was
last approved in 1984 (49 FR 44208, November 5, 1984), and the
regulatory portion of the State's Las Vegas Valley I/M SIP, which
was last approved in 2004 (69 FR 56351, September 21, 2004). The
current submitted versions of the I/M-related statutory provisions
and rules are not significantly different than the corresponding
versions of the statutory provisions and rules approved in 2004 for
the State's Las Vegas I/M program, and are consistent with the
underlying assumptions used to develop the Las Vegas Valley 2005 CO
Plan, which was approved by EPA on August 7, 2006 (71 FR 44587).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with our proposed approval of the State's Basic I/M
SIP, as supplemented and amended in submittals dated November 2, 2006
and May 11, 2007, we proposed no action on submitted rule Nevada
Administrative Code (NAC) subsection 445B.595(2) (``NAC 445B.595(2)''),
which relates to State I/M requirements for motor vehicles operated on
Federal
[[Page 38126]]
installations located within I/M areas, because of sovereign immunity
concerns. Furthermore, we proposed, under CAA section 110(k)(6), to
rescind our previous approval of NAC 445B.595(2) into the Nevada SIP in
2004 because we believed that we had approved it in error, also on the
grounds of sovereign immunity. For the reasons given below in response
to NDEP's comments on our proposal, we are separating our actions on
NAC 445B.595(2) (i.e., both the proposed ``no action'' on the submitted
rule (and current codification of) NAC 445B.595(2) and the proposed
correction) from the rest of the actions proposed on January 7, 2008
and intend to re-propose action on NAC 445B.595(2) in a future Federal
Register document.
In our January 7, 2008 proposed rule, we proposed to approve NDEP's
SIP revision submittal (dated November 4, 2005) of the Redesignation
Request and Maintenance Plan for the Truckee Meadows Carbon Monoxide
Non-Attainment Area (September 2005) (``Truckee Meadows CO Maintenance
Plan''), adopted by the District on September 22, 2005. In connection
with our proposed approval of the Truckee Meadows CO Maintenance Plan,
we proposed to approve certain commitments by the District, contingency
provisions, and CO motor vehicle emissions budgets for years 2010 and
2016 for the purposes of transportation conformity. In so doing, we
found that the Truckee Meadows CO Maintenance Plan meets the
requirements for maintenance plans under section 175A of the Act.
Lastly, based on our evaluation of the various SIP requirements and
submittals discussed above, we concluded that, upon our final approval
of the SIP submittals evaluated in the proposed rule, the State will
have met all section 110 and part D requirements that apply to the
Truckee Meadows moderate CO nonattainment area and thereby satisfied
the criteria for redesignation under CAA section 107(d)(3)(E) and
proposed to approve the State's request (dated November 4, 2005) for
redesignation of Truckee Meadows to attainment accordingly.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Truckee Meadows CO Maintenance Plan relies upon three
principal State or local control measures: The District's wintertime
oxygenated gasoline rule, the State's vehicle inspection and
maintenance (I/M) program, and the District's residential wood
combustion rule. We proposed to approve the first and second of the
three measures in our January 7, 2008 proposed rule. We approved the
third measure (the residential wood combustion rule) in a separate
document in 2007. See 72 FR 33397 (June 18, 2007). In our proposed
rule, we indicated that we would not finalize the redesignation
until we take final action approving the oxygenated gasoline rule
and the I/M program. In today's action, we are finalizing approvals
of both the oxygenated gasoline rule and the I/M program, thereby
fulfilling a prerequisite to the final redesignation action which we
are also taking today. Also, for reasons set forth in the proposed
rule, we find that we need not fully approve either the County's
nonattainment new source review rules or the County's transportation
conformity rules as a pre-condition to redesignation of Truckee
Meadows to attainment for the CO NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please see the proposed rule for additional information on the
various SIP revision submittals and the redesignation request and on
our corresponding evaluation and rationale for proposed action.
II. Public Comments
EPA's January 7, 2008 proposed rule provided a 30-day public
comment period. Comments were received from the Air Quality Management
Division (AQMD) of the Washoe County District Health Department, the
Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), and the Western
States Petroleum Association (WSPA). Responses to the comments from
each entity are provided below.
Comment #1: By letter dated January 23, 2008, AQMD notes that,
since adoption of the maintenance plan, EPA has reorganized the rules
in 40 CFR part 58 and relocated the requirements for annual assessments
of monitoring networks from 40 CFR 58.20(d) to 58.10, and that the
maintenance plan refers in two places to the former rather than the
latter.
Response #1: AQMD is correct. EPA has relocated the requirements
for annual assessments of monitoring networks from 40 CFR 58.20 to
58.10. We encourage AQMD to include the updated regulatory reference in
any subsequent maintenance plan for the area.
Comment #2: By letter dated January 30, 2008, NDEP requests a 30-
day extension of the comment period to assess the implications of EPA's
proposed rescission, under CAA section 110(k)(6) error correction
authority, of a previously approved provision related to inspection and
maintenance (I/M) of vehicles operated on Federal installations (i.e.,
NAC 445B.595(2)). By letter dated January 31, 2008, NDEP withdraws its
request for an extension of the public comment period with respect to
all aspects of EPA's January 7, 2008 proposal except for the proposed
rescission action (related to I/M for vehicles operated on Federal
installations) and requests instead that EPA act separately on the
rescission aspect of the proposal. By e-mail dated February 1, 2008 and
then by letter dated February 4, 2008, NDEP restates its amended
request from January 31, 2008 but specifically conditions withdrawal of
the extension request upon EPA's removal of the proposed CAA section
110(k)(6) action to rescind NAC 445B.595(2) from the rest of the
January 7, 2008 proposed action.
Response #2: NDEP's initial letter dated January 30, 2008 led to
EPA's reconsideration of the basis for EPA's proposed rescission of NAC
445B.595(2) and related ``no action'' proposal for the 2007
codification of the subject rule. On the basis of that reconsideration,
EPA intends to re-propose action on NAC 445B.595(2) in a separate
Federal Register document but to otherwise finalize the January 7, 2008
action as proposed.
Comment #3: By letter submitted on February 6, 2008, WSPA supports
the redesignation of the Truckee Meadows nonattainment area as an
attainment area for CO, but objects to the inclusion of the Washoe
County wintertime oxygenated gasoline requirement in the Truckee
Meadows CO maintenance plan. WSPA cites the results of a 2005 study
commissioned by WSPA (and submitted with the comment letter), and more
recent study results, as support for the proposition that elimination
of the oxygenated fuel requirements in Washoe County would have little
impact on ambient CO concentrations in 2006 and beyond and would not
threaten compliance with the CO NAAQS particularly given the low
ambient CO concentrations measured in Washoe County in recent years and
declining trend in CO emissions. WSPA concludes that the oxygenated
gasoline program has outlived its usefulness. In WSPA's view,
continuation of the Washoe County wintertime oxygenated gasoline
requirement places an unnecessary logistical burden on gasoline
suppliers, which could lead to adverse supply impacts and possible
market volatility. WSPA draws further support from the experiences in
other areas in the country that have rescinded their oxygenated
gasoline programs without triggering any CO NAAQS violations. Lastly,
WSPA requests that EPA remove the Washoe County wintertime oxygenated
gasoline requirement as a control measure in the Truckee Meadows CO
maintenance plan for the years 2006 through 2016 but registers no
objection to the requirement being included in the maintenance plan as
a contingency measure.
Response #3: The Clean Air Act assigns to the states initial and
primary responsibility for formulating a plan to achieve the NAAQS. It
is up to the state to prepare state implementation plans
[[Page 38127]]
which contain specific pollution control measures. EPA's
responsibilities under the CAA are qualitatively different from those
of the state agency. The EPA is charged with reviewing and approving or
disapproving the enforceable implementation plans prepared by states
and other political subdivisions identified in the statute. It is not
EPA's role to disapprove the State choice of control strategies if that
strategy will result in attainment or continued maintenance of the
NAAQS, and meets all other applicable statutory requirements. See Union
Electric Co. v. EPA, 427 U.S. 246 (1976); Train v. NRDC, 421 U.S. 60
(1975). EPA's role in reviewing SIP submissions is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Federal inquiry into the reasonableness of state action is not allowed
under the Act (see Union Electric Co. v. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-266
(1976); CAA section 110(a)(2)). Under section 116 of the CAA, with
certain exceptions not relevant here, a State retains the right to
adopt and enforce any requirement respecting control or abatement of
air pollution, including more stringent emissions standards and
limitations.
For the reasons set forth in the proposed rule (see 73 FR 1175, at
1178-1179), we find that the District's wintertime gasoline oxygen
content requirements (i.e., District Rule 040.095) meet applicable CAA
criteria, including public notice and hearing prior to adoption and
submittal, as well as the substantive criteria of section 211(m) and
meet applicable EPA regulations. WSPA does not object to our finding
that the District's requirements meet applicable CAA criteria and
applicable EPA regulations, but rather WSPA contends that the rule is
no longer needed for maintenance of the CO NAAQS in Truckee Meadows.
However, for the reasons set forth above, we do not have the authority
to disapprove the District's choice (endorsed by the applicable State
agency, NDEP) to include the wintertime oxygenated gasoline requirement
as part of their CO maintenance strategy on such grounds. If NDEP and
the District choose to revise the SIP to suspend implementation of the
wintertime oxygenated gasoline requirement and to adopt the requirement
as a contingency measure, they may do so with a demonstration that the
area would continue to maintain the CO NAAQS without the benefit of the
related emissions reductions, subject to compliance with CAA procedural
requirements and subject to EPA approval.
III. EPA Action
As authorized under section 110(k) of the Act, and for the reasons
summarized in section I of this document and, in greater detail, in our
proposed rule, EPA is approving certain submittals by NDEP of revisions
to the Nevada SIP that are required to provide for attainment of the CO
NAAQS in the Truckee Meadows ``moderate'' CO nonattainment area and is
approving a maintenance plan under section 175A of the Act. EPA is also
approving, under section 107(d)(3) of the Act, NDEP's request to
redesignate Truckee Meadows to attainment for the CO NAAQS. Our
specific approvals are as follows:
First, we are approving the local oxygenated gasoline regulation,
District Rule 040.095, as amended on September 22, 2005) as fulfilling
the requirements of section 211(m) of the CAA.
Second, we are approving the State of Nevada's SIP revisions
containing the ``basic'' vehicle I/M program for Truckee Meadows
because we find that the program meets all applicable requirements
under CAA section 187(a)(4) and EPA regulations. Specifically, we are
approving three I/M-related SIP revisions submitted by NDEP:
(i) State Implementation Plan for a Basic Program for the
Inspection and Maintenance of Motor Vehicles for the Truckee Meadows
Planning Area, Nevada (June 1994), submitted on June 3, 1994, excluding
the following outdated or superseded elements included in the June 3,
1994 SIP revision: The statutory provisions and rules, the exhaust gas
analyzer specifications, MOBILE5.0a emissions modeling, and a
contingency measure adopted by the Washoe County District Board of
Health;
(ii) Basic I/M Performance Standard Evaluation for motor vehicles
in the Truckee Meadows planning area, submitted on November 2, 2006;
and
(iii) Current Nevada mobile source statutory and regulatory
provisions and rules, including those related to I/M, and updated
exhaust gas analyzer (NV2000) specifications, submitted by NDEP on May
11, 2007.\3\ The current Nevada mobile source statutory provisions and
regulations, including those related to I/M, that we are approving are
as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Our approval of the May 11, 2007 SIP revision submittal
updates and supersedes the statutory and regulatory portion of
Nevada's mobile source SIP (excluding the rules establishing fuels
specifications, alternative fuels programs for government vehicles,
and any local rules related to mobile sources) and updates the
exhaust gas analyzer specifications as approved in 2004 for the
State's I/M program in Las Vegas and Boulder City. Superseded
provisions include the State's Truckee Meadows I/M SIP, which was
last approved in 1984 (49 FR 44208, November 5, 1984), and the
regulatory portion of the State's Las Vegas Valley I/M SIP, which
was last approved in 2004 (69 FR 56351, September 21, 2004), with
the exception of NAC 445B.595(2) which is being retained in the
Nevada SIP at this time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nevada Revised Statutes (2005), chapter 365: section
365.060; chapter 366, section 366.060; chapter 445B, sections 445B.210,
445B.700-845 (excluding NRS 445B.776, 445B.777, and 445B.778); chapter
481, sections 481.019-481.087; chapter 482, sections 482.029, 482.155-
482.290, 482.385, 482.461, and 482.565; and chapter 484, sections
484.101, 484.644 and 484.6441;
Nevada Administrative Code, chapter 445B (January 2007
revision by the Legislative Counsel Bureau), sections 445B.400 to
445B.735, excluding subsection (2) of section 445B.595.
Third, we are approving the Redesignation Request and Maintenance
Plan for the Truckee Meadows Carbon Monoxide Non-Attainment Area
(September 2005) (``Truckee Meadows CO Maintenance Plan''), adopted by
the Washoe County District Board of Health on September 22, 2005, and
submitted by NDEP to EPA on November 4, 2005, as meeting the
requirements of CAA section 175A.
In connection with our approval of the Truckee Meadows CO
Maintenance Plan, we find the following plan elements to be acceptable:
Baseline (2002) emissions inventory and future year (2010
and 2016) inventory projections;
Commitment to continue operating an appropriate ambient CO
monitoring network;
Commitment to verify continued attainment through ambient
monitoring and the preparation and submittal of periodic inventory
updates and surveys of residential woodburning;
Contingency provisions that establish a two-tier approach
with specific triggering events and regulatory responses: The first
involving a lowering of the stage 1 (alert) episode level (tier 1) by
the next CO season and the second involving a recommendation and
timetable for action by the Washoe County District Board of Health or
the State Environmental Commission to tighten certain requirements,
potentially including a higher wintertime gasoline oxygen content or
higher waiver amounts in the State's vehicle I/M program, to promptly
correct any violation of the CO NAAQS after redesignation;
Commitment to prepare and submit a subsequent CO
maintenance plan for
[[Page 38128]]
the Truckee Meadows area 8 years after redesignation; and
CO motor vehicle emissions budgets (in terms of pounds per
typical CO season day) of 330,678 pounds per typical CO season day in
year 2010 and 321,319 pounds per typical CO season day in year 2016.
Fourth, under section 107(d)(3), we are approving NDEP's request
(dated November 4, 2005) to redesignate the Truckee Meadows CO
nonattainment area to attainment. In so doing, we find that:
The Truckee Meadows nonattainment area has attained the CO
NAAQS;
EPA has fully approved the applicable SIP for this area
under section 110(k) of the CAA;
The improvement in ambient CO conditions in Truckee
Meadows is due to permanent and enforceable reductions in emissions
resulting from implementation of the applicable SIP and applicable
Federal air pollutant control regulations and other permanent and
enforceable reductions;
The State has met all requirements applicable to Truckee
Meadows under section 110 and part D (of title I) of the CAA; \4\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ With respect to this criterion, we find that we need not
fully approve either the District's nonattainment new source review
rules or conformity rules as a pre-condition to redesignation of
Truckee Meadows to attainment for the CO NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As described above, we are approving the Truckee Meadows
CO Maintenance Plan as meeting the requirements of CAA section 175A.
IV. 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. 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 under state law and does not impose any additional
enforceable duty, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or
significantly or uniquely affects small governments, as described in
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 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 state law
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.
section 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 2, 2008. 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).)
