Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Virginia; Clean Air Interstate Rule Budget Trading Programs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia. This revision establishes
budget trading programs for nitrogen oxides (NO_X) annual,
NO_X ozone season, and sulfur dioxides (SO₂)
annual emissions to address the requirements of EPA's Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR). Virginia will meet its CAIR requirements by
participating in the EPA-administered regional cap-and-trade program
for NO_X annual, NO_X ozone season, and
SO₂ annual emissions. EPA is determining that the SIP
revision fully implements the CAIR requirements for Virginia.
Therefore, as a consequence of the SIP approval, EPA will also withdraw
the CAIR Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) that addresses
NO_X annual, NO_X ozone season, and SO₂
annual emissions in Virginia.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The final rule is effective on December 28, 2007.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2007-0381. All documents in the electronic docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On March 30, 2007, and supplemented on April 30, 2007 and June 11,
2007, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ)
submitted a CAIR SIP revision to meet the requirements of CAIR, which
was promulgated on May 12, 2005 (70 FR 25162), and subsequently revised
on April 28, 2006, and December 13, 2006. The SIP revision is comprised
of new regulations under 9 VAC 5 Chapter 140 of the Virginia Code as
follows: Part II--NO_X Annual Trading Program; Part III--
NO_X Ozone Season Trading Program; and Part IV--
SO₂ Annual Trading Program. The regulations address all the
requirements of the part 96 model rules set forth in the May 12, 2005
CAIR rulemaking.
On September 25, 2007 (72 FR 54385), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) to approve Virginia's CAIR SIP revision. A
detailed discussion of the CAIR requirements, Virginia's CAIR
submittal, and EPA's rationale for approval of Virginia's CAIR SIP
revision may be found in the NPR and will not be repeated here. On
October 24, 2007, EPA received adverse comments from the State of
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

Comment: On October 24, 2007, the Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection (CTDEP) submitted adverse comments on EPA's
proposed approval of Virginia's CAIR SIP revision. CTDEP encourages EPA
to approve state programs adopted to meet the emission reduction
requirements of CAIR. However, it argues that before approving state
CAIR plans, EPA should evaluate individually and in the aggregate each
state's clean air programs. They argue such evaluation is necessary to
ensure that each state's emissions do not significantly contribute to
downwind nonattainment. CTDEP asserts its belief that the CAIR program
does not ensure that the CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) requirements to
prohibit transported emissions that significantly contribute to
nonattainment in Connecticut and other states will be met. CTDEP
expresses concern that EPA is determining through this and other
similar rulemakings that CAIR programs are sufficient to meet States'
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) obligations. CTDEP asserts, based on EPA and
State modeling for CAIR, that the levels of transported pollution
remaining after CAIR implementation are large enough that, even with
local controls, it may be difficult for Connecticut to attain the 8-
hour ozone NAAQS by 2010. Finally, CTDEP questions EPA's determination
that highly cost effective controls are adequate to address States'
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) obligations as compared to ``reasonable cost''
controls that could be achieved to effect more stringent NO_X
reductions.
Response: EPA does not agree that it is appropriate or necessary
for EPA to conduct additional analysis before approving Virginia's CAIR
SIP revision. In the CAIR rulemaking promulgated on May 12, 2005 (70 FR
25162), EPA established model rules for multi-State cap and trade
programs for annual NO_X, ozone season NO_X, and
annual SO₂ that States may choose to adopt to meet the
required emissions reductions in a flexible and cost-effective manner.
EPA requires States that wish to participate in the EPA-administered
cap and trade program to use the model rule (with only limited
flexibility to modify specific provisions) to ensure that all
participating sources, regardless of which State in the CAIR region
they are located, are subject to the same trading and allowance holding
requirements. Virginia has chosen to participate in the cap and trade
program administered by EPA and has chosen to adopt the model rules
with modifications allowed by flexibilities in the model rule. EPA has
evaluated Virginia's SIP revision and determined that Virginia is
meeting its CAIR requirements. CTDEP does not challenge this
determination. Thus, CTDEP's comments do not specifically pertain to
any aspect of EPA's proposed action to approve the Virginia CAIR SIP
revision. Rather, the comments appear to be directed broadly at EPA's
decisions with regard to States' section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) obligations.
These decisions were made by EPA in the context of the CAIR rulemaking,
not in the proposed action to approve Virginia's CAIR SIP revision.
Therefore, CTDEP's comments are not relevant to the proposed action.
CTDEP had ample opportunity to submit comments both during the comment
period for the proposed CAIR rulemaking of January 30, 2004 (70 FR
49708) and during the comment period for the proposed CAIR FIP of
August 24, 2005 (70 FR 49708). EPA's proposal to approve Virginia's
CAIR SIP did not reopen either the CAIR or CAIR FIP rulemakings.
Consequently, CTDEP's comments are not relevant to this rulemaking, or
timely with respect to the CAIR and CAIR FIP rulemakings. Thus, EPA
does not believe it is necessary to conduct additional analysis on
whether Virginia or any other state satisfies the requirements of
110(a)(2)(D)(i) before approving Virginia's CAIR SIP submission.

III. Information Pertaining to SIP Submittals From the Commonwealth of
Virginia

In 1995, Virginia adopted legislation that provides, subject to
certain conditions, for an environmental assessment (audit)
``privilege'' for voluntary compliance evaluations performed by a
regulated entity. The legislation further addresses the relative burden
of proof for parties either asserting the privilege or seeking
disclosure of documents for which the privilege is claimed. Virginia's
legislation also provides, subject to certain conditions, for a penalty
waiver for violations of environmental laws when a regulated entity
discovers such violations pursuant to a voluntary compliance evaluation
and voluntarily discloses such violations to the Commonwealth and takes
prompt and appropriate measures to remedy the violations. Virginia's
Voluntary Environmental Assessment Privilege Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-
1198, provides a privilege that protects from disclosure documents and
information about the content of those documents that are the product
of a voluntary environmental assessment. The Privilege Law does not
extend to documents or information (1) that are generated or developed
before the commencement of a voluntary environmental assessment; (2)
that are prepared independently of the assessment process; (3) that
demonstrate a clear, imminent and substantial danger to the public
health or environment; or (4) that are required by law.
On January 12, 1998, the Commonwealth of Virginia Office of the
Attorney General provided a legal opinion that states that the
Privilege law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1198, precludes granting a privilege
to documents and information ``required by law,'' including documents
and information ``required by Federal law to maintain program
delegation, authorization or approval,'' since Virginia must ``enforce
Federally authorized environmental programs in a manner that is no less
stringent than their Federal counterparts * * *.'' The opinion
concludes that ``[r]egarding Sec. 10.1-1198, therefore, documents or
other information needed for civil or criminal enforcement under one of
these programs could not be privileged because such documents and
information are essential to pursuing enforcement in a manner required by

[[Page 73604]]

Federal law to maintain program delegation, authorization or approval.''
Virginia's Immunity law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1199, provides that
``[t]o the extent consistent with requirements imposed by Federal
law,'' any person making a voluntary disclosure of information to a
state agency regarding a violation of an environmental statute,
regulation, permit, or administrative order is granted immunity from
administrative or civil penalty. The Attorney General's January 12,
1998 opinion states that the quoted language renders this statute
inapplicable to enforcement of any Federally authorized programs, since
``no immunity could be afforded from administrative, civil, or criminal
penalties because granting such immunity would not be consistent with
Federal law, which is one of the criteria for immunity.''
Therefore, EPA has determined that Virginia's Privilege and
Immunity statutes will not preclude the Commonwealth from enforcing its
program consistent with the Federal requirements. In any event, because
EPA has also determined that a state audit privilege and immunity law
can affect only state enforcement and cannot have any impact on Federal
enforcement authorities, EPA may at any time invoke its authority under
the CAA, including, for example, sections 113, 167, 205, 211 or 213, to
enforce the requirements or prohibitions of the state plan,
independently of any state enforcement effort. In addition, citizen
enforcement under section 304 of the CAA is likewise unaffected by
this, or any, state audit privilege or immunity law.

IV. Final Action

EPA is approving Virginia's CAIR SIP revision submitted on March
30, 2007, and supplemented on April 30, 2007 and June 11, 2007. Under
the SIP revision, Virginia will participate in the EPA-administered
cap-and-trade programs for NO_X annual, NO_X ozone
season, and SO₂ annual emissions. The SIP revision meets the
applicable requirements in 40 CFR 51.123(o) and (aa), with regard to
NO_X annual and NO_X ozone season emissions, and 40
CFR 51.124(o), with regard to SO₂ emissions. As a
consequence of the SIP approval, the Administrator of EPA will issue,
without providing an opportunity for a public hearing or an additional
opportunity for written public comment, a final rule to withdraw the
CAIR FIPs for SO₂, NO_X annual, and NO_X
ozone season emissions for Virginia.

V. Effective Date

EPA finds that there is good cause for this approval to become
effective on the date of publication because a delayed effective date
is unnecessary due to the nature of the approval, which allows the
Commonwealth to make allocations under its CAIR rules. The expedited
effective date for this action is authorized under both 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(1), which provides that rule actions may become effective less
than 30 days after publication if the rule ``grants or recognizes an
exemption or relieves a restriction'' and section 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3),
which allows an effective date less than 30 days after publication ``as
otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published
with the rule.''
CAIR SIP approvals relieve states and CAIR sources within states
from being subject to allowance allocation provisions in the CAIR FIPs
that otherwise would apply to them, allowing States to make their own
allowance allocations based on their SIP-approved State rule. The
relief from these obligations is sufficient reason to allow an
expedited effective date of this rule under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1).

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

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 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 (59 FR 22951, 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
requirement, 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 approves a state rule implementing a Federal
standard. 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.).

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

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

[[Page 73605]]

``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

C. 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 February 26, 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 approve Virginia's CAIR SIP revision may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)
