Determination of Nonattainment and Reclassification of the Baton
Rouge 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; State of Louisiana
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing its finding that the Baton Rouge
``marginal'' 8-hour ozone nonattainment area (hereinafter referred to
as the Baton Rouge area) did not attain the 8-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or standard) by June 15, 2007, the
attainment deadline set forth in the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) and
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for ``marginal'' nonattainment areas.
By operation of law, the Baton Rouge area is to be reclassified from a
``marginal'' to a ``moderate'' 8-hour ozone nonattainment area on the
effective date of this rule. The new attainment deadline for the
reclassified Baton Rouge nonattainment area is ``as expeditiously as
practicable'' but no later than June 15, 2010. In addition, EPA is
requiring Louisiana to submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
addressing the CAA's pollution control requirements for ``moderate'' 8-
hour ozone nonattainment areas no later than January 1, 2009.
DATES: This final rule is effective on April 21, 2008.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R06-OAR-2007-0967. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
A complete description of the 8-hour designation process for the
Baton Rouge area can be found in the proposal for this rulemaking at 72
FR 61315, October 30, 2007. In addition, under Sec. 51.908 of the Code
of Federal Regulations, states containing areas classified as
``marginal'' non-attainment for the 8-hour ozone standard were not
required to submit attainment demonstration SIPs. However, states were
required to submit other SIP elements, as required by Subpart 2 of the
Act, that included the following: submitting an emission inventory
within two years and periodic inventories every three years thereafter,
reasonably available control technology corrections, and retaining a
vehicle inspection and maintenance program that may have previously
been in place. Baton Rouge has met these requirements for a
``marginal'' nonattainment area under the 8-hour standard and the 1-
hour standard.

I. What Does This Action Do?
On October 30, 2007, EPA proposed its finding that the Baton Rouge
ozone nonattainment area did not attain the 8-hour NAAQS by the
applicable attainment date (72 FR 61315). The proposed finding was
based upon ambient air quality data from the years 2004-2006. These
data showed that the 8-hour NAAQS of 0.08 ppm (i.e., 0.084 ppm when
rounding is considered) had been exceeded based on the 3-year average
of the annual fourth highest daily maximum 8-hour average ambient air
quality ozone concentration and that the area did not qualify for an
attainment date extension under section 181(a)(5) of the Act. We also
proposed to determine that the appropriate reclassification of the area
was to ``moderate.''
This action finalizes our finding that the Baton Rouge area did not
attain the 8-hour ozone NAAQS by June 15, 2007, as prescribed in
section 181 of the Act, and as detailed in EPA's final designations
rule published on April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23857). It also fulfills EPA's
duty pursuant to section 181(b)(2) of the Act. In addition, this action
sets the dates by which Louisiana must submit SIP revisions addressing
the CAA's pollution control requirements for ``moderate'' ozone
nonattainment areas and attain the 8-hour NAAQS for ozone. EPA's
rulemaking actions are to be effective [30] days from publication in
the Federal Register.
II. What Does the CAA Say About Determination of Nonattainment and
Reclassification, and How Does it Apply to the Baton Rouge Area?
Under sections 107(d)(1)(c) and 181(a) of the Act, the Baton Rouge
area was designated nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS and
classified as ``marginal'' based on its design value of 0.086 ppm in
2004. These nonattainment designations and classifications are codified
in 40 CFR Part 81 (See 69 FR 23857, April 30, 2004). In addition,
states containing areas that were classified as ``marginal''
nonattainment were required to submit SIPs to provide for certain
controls and submit emission inventories. The Baton Rouge area met
these requirements by submitting an updated emission inventory. As a
``severe'' nonattainment area under the 1-hour standard, the area was
already implementing ``marginal'' area requirements in Subpart 2 of the
Act. No attainment demonstrations were required, but attainment of the
standard was required to be achieved by June 15, 2007.
Section 181(b)(2)(A) of the Act specifies that:
Within 6 months following the applicable attainment date (including
any extension thereof) for an ozone nonattainment area, the
Administrator shall determine, based on the area's design value (as of
the attainment date), whether the area attained the standard by that
date. Except for any Severe or Extreme areas, any area that the
Administrator finds has not attained the standard by that date shall be
reclassified by operation of law in accordance with table 1 of
subsection (a) to the higher of--
a. The next higher classification for the area, or
b. The classification applicable to the area's design value as
determined at the time of the notice required under subparagraph (B).
No area shall be reclassified as Extreme under clause (ii).
Furthermore, section 181(b)(2)(B) of the Act provides that:
The Administrator shall publish a notice in the Federal Register no
later than 6 months following the attainment date, identifying each
area that the Administrator has determined under subparagraph (A) as
having failed to attain and identifying the reclassification, if any,
described under subparagraph (A).
On October 30, 2007, EPA proposed its finding that the Baton Rouge
area did not attain the 8-hour ozone standard by the applicable date
(72 FR 61315). The proposed finding was based upon ambient ozone
concentration data for the period 2004-2006, from monitoring sites in
the Baton Rouge area that recorded a 3-year average of the annual
fourth highest daily maximum 8-hour average ambient air quality ozone
concentration that exceeded the standard. You may refer to the proposal
to review these values which are presented in ``Table 1.--Baton Rouge
Area Fourth Highest 8-Hour Ozone Concentrations and Design Values
(ppm).''
The air quality data in Table 1 were available for comment in our
October 30, 2007, proposed finding of the area's failure to attain the
ozone NAAQS. We
[[Page 15089]]
received no comments pertaining to these data. Therefore, pursuant to
section 181(b)(2)(B) of the CAA, we hereby finalize our determination
that the Baton Rouge area did not attain the 8-hour standard by the
June 15, 2007, attainment date.
III. What Is The Area's New Classification?
Section 181(b)(2)(A) of the Act requires that, when an area is
reclassified for failure to attain, its reclassification be the higher
of either the next higher classification or the classification
applicable to the area's ozone design value at the time the notice of
reclassification is published in the Federal Register. Section
181(b)(2)(B) requires EPA to publish in the Federal Register a notice
identifying the appropriate reclassification for the area in accordance
with section 181(b)(2)(A). The classification that would be applicable
to the Baton Rouge area's design value at the time of today's final
rule is ``marginal'' because the area's 2006 calculated design value,
based on quality-assured ozone monitoring data from 2004-2006, is 0.091
ppm. By contrast, the next higher classification for the Baton Rouge
area is ``moderate.'' As EPA explained in the proposal, because
``moderate'' is a higher classification than ``marginal'' under the CAA
statutory scheme, upon the effective date of this final rulemaking, the
Baton Rouge area is reclassified by operation of law as ``moderate.''
IV. What is the New Attainment Date for the Baton Rouge Area?
Under section 181(a)(1) of the Act, the new attainment deadline for
``marginal'' ozone nonattainment areas, reclassified to ``moderate''
under section 181(b)(2), would generally be as ``expeditious as
practicable'' but no later than the date applicable to the new
classification, i.e., June 15, 2010. The ``as expeditiously as
practicable'' attainment date will be determined as part of the action
on the required SIP submittal demonstrating attainment of the 8-hour
ozone standard.
V. When Must Louisiana Submit SIP Revisions Fulfilling the Requirements
for 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Areas?
Under section 181(a)(1) of the Act, the attainment deadline for
``marginal'' ozone nonattainment areas reclassified to ``moderate''
under section 181(b)(2) is as ``expeditiously as practicable'' but no
later than June 15, 2010. Under section 182(i) of the Act, such areas
are required to submit SIP revisions addressing the ``moderate'' area
requirements for 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Pursuant to 40 CFR 51.908(d), for
each nonattainment area, a state must provide for the implementation of
all control measures needed for attainment no later than the beginning
of the attainment year ozone season. The attainment year ozone season
is the ozone season immediately preceding a nonattainment area's
attainment date, in this case 2009 (40 CFR 51.900(g)). The ozone season
is the ozone monitoring season defined in 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix D,
section 4.1, Table D-3 (71 FR 61236, October 17, 2006). For the purpose
of reclassification of the Baton Rouge nonattainment area, January 1,
2009, is the beginning of the ozone monitoring season. As a result, EPA
is requiring that the required SIP revisions be submitted by Louisiana
as ``expeditiously as practicable,'' but no later than January 1, 2009.
This timeline also calls for implementation of applicable controls no
later than January 1, 2009. (See 72 FR 61318).
The area was previously required to submit the requirements for
``marginal'' areas and under section 182(b) of the Act, remains
required to meet them, and now must meet the requirements for
``moderate'' areas as well.
A revised SIP must include, among other things, the following
``moderate'' area requirements: (1) An attainment demonstration (40 CFR
51.908), (2) provisions for reasonably available control technology and
reasonably available control measures (40 CFR 51.912), (3) reasonable
further progress reductions in volatile organic compound (VOC) and
nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions (40 CFR 51.910), (4)
contingency measures to be implemented in the event of failure to meet
a milestone or attain the standard (CAA 172(c)(9)). See also the
requirements for ``moderate'' ozone nonattainment areas set forth in
CAA section 182(b). Since the Baton Rouge area also is a 1-hour ozone
nonattainment area, the anti-backsliding requirements of the 8-hour
ozone implementation rule at 40 CFR 51.900 and 51.905 apply too. See
also S. Coast Air Quality Management District v. Environmental
Protection Agency, 472 F.3d 882 (DC Cir. 2006), reh'g denied, 489 F.3d
1245 (DC Cir. 2007).
VI. What Comments Were Received on the Proposed Rule?
EPA received no comments from the public on the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking published on October 30, 2007 (72 FR 61315), Determination
of Nonattainment and Reclassification of the Baton Rouge 8-Hour Ozone
Nonattainment Area; State of Louisiana.
VII. Final Action
Pursuant to CAA section 181(b)(2), EPA is making a final
determination that the Baton Rouge ``marginal'' 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area failed to attain the 8-hour ozone NAAQS by June 15,
2007. Upon the effective date of this rule, the Baton Rouge
``marginal'' 8-hour ozone nonattainment area will be reclassified by
operation of law as a ``moderate'' 8-hour ozone nonattainment area.
Pursuant to section 182(i) of the CAA, EPA is establishing the schedule
for submittal of the SIP revisions required for ``moderate'' areas once
the area is reclassified. The required SIP revision for Baton Rouge
must be submitted as ``expeditiously as practicable,'' but no later
than January 1, 2009.
VIII. Administrative Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under the Executive Order. The Agency
has determined that the finding of nonattainment would result in none
of the effects identified in the Executive Order. Under section
181(b)(2) of the CAA, determinations of nonattainment are based upon
air quality considerations and the resulting reclassifications must
occur by operation of law.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
This action to reclassify the Baton Rouge area as a ``moderate'' ozone
nonattainment area and to adjust applicable deadlines does not
establish any new information collection burden. Burden means the total
time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information; search data sources;
[[Page 15090]]
complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or
otherwise disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedures Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of this action on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business that is a
small industrial entity as defined in the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) size standards (see, 13 CFR part 121); (2) a small
governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town,
school district or special district with a population of less than
50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field. Determinations of nonattainment and the
resulting reclassification of nonattainment areas by operation of law
under section 181(b)(2) of the CAA do not in and of themselves create
any new requirements. Instead, this rulemaking only makes a factual
determination, and does not directly regulate any entities. After
considering the economic impacts of today's action on small entities, I
certify that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and Tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to State, local, and Tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, sections 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation to why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including Tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory
requirements.
This action does not include a Federal mandate within the meaning
of UMRA that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more in any
one year by either State, local, or Tribal governments in the aggregate
or to the private sector, and therefore, is not subject to the
requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. Also, EPA has
determined that this rule contains no regulatory requirements that
might significantly or uniquely affect small governments and therefore,
is not subject to the requirements of sections 203. EPA believes, as
discussed previously in this document, that the finding of
nonattainment is a factual determination based upon air quality
considerations and that the resulting reclassification of the area must
occur by operation of law. Thus, EPA believes that the finding does not
constitute a Federal mandate, as defined in section 101 of the UMRA,
because it does not impose an enforceable duty on any entity.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that 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.''
This final rule does not have federalism implications. 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,
as specified in Executive Order 13132, this action merely determines
that the Baton Rouge area had not attained by its applicable attainment
date, and to reclassify the Baton Rouge area as a ``moderate'' ozone
nonattainment area and to adjust applicable deadlines. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``A Consultation and Coordination
With Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure a meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications. This action does not have
Tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. This action
merely determines that the Baton Rouge area has not attained by its
applicable attainment date, and to reclassify the Baton Rouge area as a
``moderate'' ozone nonattainment area and to adjust applicable
deadlines. The CAA and the Tribal Authority Rule establish the
relationship of the Federal government and Tribes in developing plans
to attain the NAAQS, and this rule does nothing to modify that
relationship. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any
rule that (1) is determined to be ``economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have
disproportionate effect on children. If
[[Page 15091]]
the regulatory action meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the
environmental health or safety effects of the planned rule on children,
and explain why the planned regulation is preferable to other
potentially effective and reasonably feasible alternatives considered
by the Agency. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045
because it is not economically significant as defined in E.O. 12866,
and because the Agency does not have reason to believe the
environmental health risks or safety risks addressed by this rule
present a disproportionate risk to children. This action merely
determines that the Baton Rouge area has not attained by its applicable
attainment date, and to reclassify the Baton Rouge area as a
``moderate'' ozone nonattainment area and to adjust applicable
deadlines.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use,'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act
As noted in the proposed rule, Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-
113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary
consensus standards (VCS) in its regulatory activities unless to do so
would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials
specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted by VCS bodies. The NTTAA
directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the
Agency decides not to use available and applicable VCS. This action
merely determines that the Baton Rouge area has not attained by its
applicable attainment date, and to reclassify the Baton Rouge
``marginal'' Nonattainment Area as a ``moderate'' ozone nonattainment
area and to adjust applicable deadlines. Therefore, EPA did not
consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
EPA has determined that this rule will not have disproportionately
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or
low-income populations because it does not affect the level of
protection provided to human health or the environment. This action
merely determines that the Baton Rouge area has not attained by its
applicable attainment date, and to reclassify the Baton Rouge area as a
``moderate'' ozone nonattainment area and to adjust applicable
deadlines.
K. Congressional Review Act
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. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
L. Petitions for Judicial Review
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 May 20, 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 to reclassify the Baton Rouge area as a
``moderate'' ozone nonattainment area and to adjust applicable
deadlines may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
