[EPA-R09-OAR-2009-0344; FRL-8929-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
California
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve state implementation plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the State of California on June 15, 2004 and
February 3, 2009, relating to reformulated gasoline (RFG) and diesel
fuel sold or supplied as motor vehicle fuels in California. The
revisions relating to RFG include California Phase 3 RFG (CaRFG3)
regulations, correction of errors and streamlined requirements for
compliance with and enforcement of the CaRFG3 standards, and an update
to the State's predictive model to mitigate permeation emissions
associated with the use of ethanol as a fuel additive. The revisions
relating to diesel fuel establish test methods for determining the
aromatic hydrocarbon content in diesel fuel and lower the maximum
allowable sulfur content for motor vehicle diesel fuel.

II. California Reformulated Gasoline and California Diesel Fuel
Programs
A. What Is the SIP-Approved California Program for Reformulated
Gasoline?
Gasoline sold in California is generally subject to federal
standards promulgated by EPA pursuant to section 211(k) of the CAA.\1\
The federal reformulated gasoline (RFG) program has had two phases.
Phase I was effective from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1999 and
Phase II has been in effect since January 1, 2000. The Federal Phase II
program is similar to the Phase I program but requires additional
reductions in emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) and toxic air pollutants. In addition to the
Federal standards, gasoline sold in California is also subject to
standards set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).\2\ The
California RFG program consists of three phases. California RFG Phase 1
was replaced by the more stringent requirements of California RFG Phase
2 (CaRFG2), effective March 1, 1996. CARB further strengthened its
standards when it promulgated the California RFG Phase 3 (CaRFG3)
regulations on August 3, 2000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See 40 CFR part 80, subparts D, E and F.
\2\ Section 211(c)(4)(A) prohibits States (and political
subdivisions of states) from prescribing or attempting to enforce
controls or prohibitions respecting any fuel characteristic or
component if EPA has prescribed a control or prohibition applicable
to such fuel characteristic or component under section 211(c)(1).
This preemption applies to all states except California, as
explained in section 211(c)(4)(B). Thus, the SIP approval and
boutique fuels provisions of 211(c)(4)(C) do not apply here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1994, EPA adopted exemptions from certain enforcement provisions
in the Federal RFG regulations for refiners, blenders and importers of
gasoline sold for use in California and subject to CaRFG2.\3\ These
exemptions were based on a comparison of CaRFG2 with Federal RFG Phase
I, and later Federal RFG Phase II gasoline, and were based on the
following findings:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 59 FR 7716, 7758 (February 16, 1994) and 63 FR 34818
(June 26, 1998). The original enforcement exemptions expired in 1999
when the Federal Phase II RFG started but, after comparing CaRFG2
and Federal Phase II RFG, we continued those exemptions. 64 FR 49992
(September 15, 1999).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The emissions reductions from the CaRFG2 standards would be
equal to or greater than the applicable Federal standards;
(2) The benzene content of CaRFG2 would be equivalent in practice
to the Federal standards (as well as the then-applicable oxygen content
standard in Federal RFG areas); and
(3) CARB's compliance and enforcement program was designed to be
sufficiently rigorous to ensure that Federal requirements would be
fulfilled in practice.
We approved the California Phase 1 and Phase 2 regulation \4\ into
the SIP on August 21, 1995 (60 FR 43379).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The California Reformulated Gasoline regulations, as
contained in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR),
sections 2250, 2252, 2253.4, 2254, 2257, 2260, 2261, 2262.1, 2262.2,
2262.3, 2262.4, 2262.5, 2262.6, 2262.7, 2263, 2264, 2266-2272, 2296,
and 2297, initially approved by CARB on November 17, 1988, and
formally adopted on August 22, 1989, June 21, 1990, April 15, 1991,
October 15, 1993, and August 24, 1994.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. What Is the SIP-Approved Program for California Diesel Fuel?
On October 1, 1993, both Federal \5\ and California standards for
diesel fuel took effect. These standards required reductions in sulfur
particulate and NOX emissions from vehicles burning diesel fuel. While
the programs were substantially similar, the California program set a
more stringent standard for aromatic hydrocarbons than the Federal
program. In addition, the California program applied to diesel fuel
used in on-road applications, like the Federal program, but also for
nonroad diesel vehicles like construction and farm equipment. We
approved the California diesel fuel rules \6\ on August 21, 1995 (60 FR
43379).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 55 FR 34120 (August 21, 1990). Specific CAA requirements
for diesel fuel sulfur content are found in section 211(i). On
August 21, 1990, EPA promulgated regulations pursuant to that
section at 55 FR 34120. EPA subsequently established more stringent
regulations for diesel sulfur content under the authority of section
211(c). See, e.g., the current regulations in 40 CFR part 86. 66 FR
5001 (January 18, 2001). Section 211(c)(4)(A) prohibits states (and
political subdivisions of states) from prescribing or attempting to
enforce controls or prohibitions respecting any fuel characteristic
or component if EPA has prescribed a control or prohibition
applicable to such fuel characteristic or component under section
211(c)(1). This preemption applies to all states except California,
as explained in section 211(c)(4)(B). Thus, the SIP approval and
boutique fuels provisions of 211(c)(4)(C) do not apply here.
\6\ The California Diesel Fuel regulations, as contained in 13
CCR 2281 and 2282, adopted on August 22, 1989, June 21, 1990, April
15, 1991, October 15, 1993, and August 24, 1994.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. What Regulations Did the State Submit?
California Reformulated Gasoline
On June 15, 2004, the State submitted a series of amendments to the
reformulated gasoline rules found in 13 CCR 2260-2272 as approved by
EPA in 1995 and referenced in footnote 3. Specifically, on August 3,
2000, the State adopted amendments that
[[Page 33198]]
established the CaRFG3 standards and program, including revisions
leading to the phase out of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) as a
gasoline oxygenate. Starting March 21, 2001, the State adopted a series
of rulemakings to amend 13 CCR 2260-2272 regarding certain limits for
denatured ethanol used in California gasoline and the model for
``California reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending'' or
``CARBOB.'' These amendments also allowed certain small refiners to
offset excess emissions from CaRFG3 with additional emission reductions
from lowering the aromatic hydrocarbon content of diesel fuel. On May
1, 2003, the State adopted amendments to 13 CCR 2262.6 and 2263 that
updated test methods used to comply with CaRFG3 regulations and also
delayed the phase out of MTBE by one year to avoid disrupting the
supply of gasoline in California.
On February 3, 2009, the State submitted revisions to the
reformulated gasoline rules found in 13 CCR 2260, 2262, 2262.4, 2262.5,
2262.9, 2265 and 2266.5. These revisions were adopted by the State on
November 18, 2004. Among other things, the revisions updated the
procedure for evaluating alternative specifications for CaRFG3 using
the California Predictive Model. Also, the State submitted new
reformulated gasoline rules found in 13 CCR 2260(a)(0.5), (0.7), (6.9),
(7.5), (8.5), (10.5), (10.7), (19.7), (19.8), (23.5), (23.7), (37),
(38), 2262.3(d), 2264.2(a)(3), (b)(5), and (d), 2265(c)(4), 2265.1,
2265.5 and 2266(b)(3), (4), and (5); and revisions to the existing
reformulated gasoline rules found in 13 CCR 2261, 2262, 2262.4, 2262.5,
2262.9, 2263, 2263.7, 2264.2, 2266, 2266.5, 2270, 2271 and 2273. These
new rules and revisions were adopted by the State on August 7, 2008.
Among other things these rules updated the California Predictive Model
in the CaRFG3 regulations to mitigate permeation emissions associated
with the use of ethanol as a fuel additive.
California Diesel Fuel
On February 3, 2009, the State submitted revisions to the diesel
fuel rules found in 13 CCR 2281(c), 2282(b), 2282(c), and 2282(g).
These revisions were adopted on June 4, 1997. Among other things, the
revisions establish test methods for determining aromatic hydrocarbon
content in diesel fuel. Because Sections 2281 and 2282 are incorporated
by reference into the State's rules concerning exhaust and emission
standards and test procedures, those rules \7\ were amended to
incorporate the new language as well. Also, the State submitted new
diesel fuel rules found in 13 CCR 2284 and 2285 and amendments to the
diesel fuel rules found in 13 CCR 2281 and 2282. Because these
revisions pertain to rules that are incorporated by reference
elsewhere, those rules were amended to reflect the new language in 13
CCR 2281 and 2282.\8\ These rule changes, among other things, lowered
the maximum allowable sulfur content for motor vehicle diesel fuel and
were adopted by the State on July 15, 2004.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 13 CCR 1956.8(b) and 13 CCR 1961.1(d), which include
nonsubstantive changes that corrected the publication dates of
certain documents incorporated by reference.
\8\ See 13 CCR 1961 (Exhaust Emission and Test Standards--2004
and Subsequent Model Passenger Vehicles, Light-Duty Trucks and
Medium-Duty Vehicles), 13 CCR 2701 (adding the definition of ``15
ppmw or less sulfur fuel''), and 17 CCR 93114 (applying the
requirements of 13 CCR 2281, 2282 and 2284 to nonvehicular diesel
fuel except diesel fuel solely for use in locomotives and marine
engines).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. EPA Evaluation of California Reformulated Gasoline and California
Diesel Fuel SIP Submittals
A. What Requirements Apply to These SIP Submittals?
Generally, SIP rules must be enforceable. See CAA section 110(a).
Monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and associated requirements
generally ensure that the submitted rule can be enforced. In addition,
section 110(l) of the CAA provides that EPA shall not approve a SIP
revision if it would interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress or any other
applicable requirement of the Act.
Some of the SIP revisions submitted by the State are non-
substantive editorial or format changes. Some substantive changes are
considered minor. Major substantive changes are discussed below. A
detailed analysis of all revisions can be found in the Technical
Support Document that accompanies this proposed action.
B. Are These SIP Submittals Approvable?
California Reformulated Gasoline (CaRFG3) Regulations and Subsequent
Amendments
The applicable Federal requirements for reformulated gasoline are
found in section 211(k) of the CAA. Section 211(k) directs EPA to set
requirements for Federal RFG in certain ozone nonattainment areas, as
well as ``anti-dumping'' requirements for the rest of the nation. The
current requirements for Federal RFG include reductions in ozone-
forming VOCs, NOX, and toxic air pollutants from gasoline-
powered motor vehicles. As stated above, the regulations for Federal
RFG can be found at 40 CFR part 80, subparts D, E and F. In California,
Federal RFG is required in the San Joaquin Valley, Los Angeles, San
Diego and Sacramento.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See http://www.epa.gov/otaq/rfg/whereyoulive.htm for a map
and 40 CFR 80.70 for a list of covered areas in the State. A copy of
the map has been placed in the docket for this rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 21, 2005, we exempted refiners, blenders and importers
of CaRFG3 from certain enforcement provisions in the Federal RFG
regulations found at 40 CFR 80.81.\10\ In extending the enforcement
exemption to CaRFG3, we made the following determinations: (1) That
emission reductions from CaRFG3 would be equal to or greater than the
emission reductions from Federal Phase II RFG standards; (2) that the
content standard for benzene in CaFRG3 would be equivalent in practice
to the Federal Phase II RFG standard and that the oxygen content
standard of 2.0 weight percent would be met in Federal RFG areas; \11\
and (3) that the CARB compliance and enforcement program is
sufficiently rigorous to ensure that Federal Phase II RFG requirements
would be met in practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 70 FR 75914. The CaRFG3 regulations and related
standards that are the subject of EPA's December 21, 2005
enforcement exemption represent the May 1, 2003 version of the
California Reformulated Gasoline Regulations, 13 CCR 2250 et seq.
\11\ In the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Energy Act), Congress
removed the oxygen content requirement for RFG found in Section
211(k) of the CAA. The Energy Act made this change immediately
effective in California, and 270 days after enactment for the rest
of the country. We published a direct final rule to remove the
oxygen content requirement for RFG for gasoline produced and sold
for use in California, thereby making the fuels regulations
consistent with amended Section 211(k)at 71 FR 8965 (February 22,
2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CARB's compliance and enforcement program has not changed since we
made the above finding regarding its adequacy.\12\ Therefore we are
proposing to approve as meeting the requirements of CAA section 110(a)
the CaRFG3 regulations and subsequent amendments to those regulations,
submitted to us on February 3, 2009, to correct errors, allow
additional compliance options, and update recordkeeping requirements.
Moreover, because the submitted SIP revisions strengthen the
requirements in the
[[Page 33199]]
approved SIP, EPA has determined that approval of these regulations is
consistent with CAA section 110(l).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ CARB's most recent annual enforcement report indicates that
fuels inspection and enforcement cases are slightly higher now than
when we approved the State's compliance and enforcement program in
2006. See ``2007 Annual Enforcement Report'' California Air
Resources Board, May, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
California Diesel Fuel
As stated above, specific CAA requirements for reformulated diesel
fuel are found in section 211(i) of the CAA. Additionally, EPA has
promulgated diesel fuel regulations, known as the ``Highway and Nonroad
Diesel Rule,'' pursuant to section 211(c) of the Act which improved
fuel quality by lowering sulfur levels for onroad diesel fuel from 500
ppm to 15 ppm (``ultra-low sulfur diesel''), starting June 1, 2006.\13\
This improvement allowed for the use of new technologies to reduce
emissions from diesel engines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ 40 CFR 80.29. See 66 FR 5001 (January 18, 2001). See also
70 FR 70498 (November 22, 2005) and 71 FR 25705 (May 1, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective May 31, 2006, as part of technical amendments to its
Highway and Nonroad Diesel Rule,\14\ EPA exempted ``California diesel
fuel'' from certain labeling, reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.\15\ The basis for this exemption was that California
diesel was subject to requirements that equaled or exceeded the
requirements for diesel fuel in the Highway and Nonroad Diesel Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 71 FR 25705 (May 1, 2006).
\15\ See 40 CFR 80.616.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
California regulations at 13 CCR 2281, proposed for approval in
this action, impose a 15 ppm sulfur content standard in diesel fuel as
of June 1, 2006 and this standard applies to diesel fuel used in
intrastate locomotive and marine engines as of January 2007. Moreover,
the California sulfur standard for diesel fuel does not include a
temporary compliance option for highway diesel fuel or the small
refiner and credit provisions included in the Federal program.
Consequently, the California sulfur content standard for diesel fuel
exceeds the requirements of the Federal ultra-low sulfur diesel program
at 40 CFR 80.29.
California requires the use of ASTM standard D5186, a Supercritical
Fluid Chromatography method, to measure the aromatic hydrocarbon
content of diesel fuel. 13 CCR 2282(c). This method replaced ASTM D1319
which is a column chromatography method originally designed for use
with gasoline. The replacement method, D5186, was developed for use
with diesel fuels and is a more reliable measure of aromatic
hydrocarbon content of diesel fuel. Consequently, this test method is
an improvement over the past SIP-approved test method.
The State's compliance and enforcement program for diesel fuel is
part of the fuels inspection program reviewed by EPA and found on
December 21, 2005 to be sufficient to ensure that State standards for
RFG would be met. Because the State's inspection program covers both
RFG and diesel fuel, we make the same determination today for diesel
fuel.
CARB's compliance and enforcement program for its diesel fuel
program is the same as for California RFG. As stated above, we
determined that the enforcement and compliance program for RFG was
adequate in connection with our extension of our enforcement exemption
to CaRFG3. Therefore, we are proposing to approve the State's revisions
and amendments to its diesel fuel rules as meeting the requirements of
CAA section 110(a). Moreover, because the submitted SIP revisions
strengthen the approved SIP, EPA has determined that approval of these
regulations is consistent with CAA section 110(l).
IV. EPA's Proposed Action
For the reasons discussed above, we are proposing to approve as
revisions to the California SIP the California RFG regulations sold or
supplied as motor vehicle fuel in California as submitted on June 15,
2004 and February 3, 2009. Additionally, we are proposing approval of
the revisions to the diesel fuel regulations sold or supplied in
California as submitted on February 3, 2009.
V. Administrative Requirements
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
proposed 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 proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that
this proposed 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 action proposes to approve
pre-existing requirements 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 (Pub. L. 104-4).
This proposed 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 proposed 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
proposed action merely proposes to approve 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. Executive Order 12898 establishes a Federal policy for
incorporating environmental justice into Federal agency actions by
directing agencies to identify and address, as appropriate,
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority and
low-income populations. Today's action involves proposed approvals of
test methods for determining the aromatic hydrocarbon content in diesel
fuel and the lowering of the maximum allowable sulfur content for motor
vehicle diesel fuel in California; and corrects errors and streamline
certain requirements for compliance and enforcement of the Phase III
California RFG and update its predictive model to mitigate permeation
emissions associated with the use of ethanol as a fuel additive. It
will not have disproportionately high and adverse effects on any
communities in the state, including minority and low-income
communities.
This proposed 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. 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 proposed 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.).
