Air Quality Designations for the 2012 Primary Annual Fine Particle (PM 2.5 ) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

This rule establishes air quality designations for most areas in the United States (U.S.), including areas of Indian country, for the 2012 primary annual fine particle (PM 2.5 ) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Through these designations, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is identifying as "nonattainment" those areas that are violating the 2012 PM 2.5 NAAQS based on quality-assured, certified air quality monitoring data from 2011 to 2013 or those areas that are contributing to a violation of the NAAQS in a nearby area. The EPA is initially classifying all nonattainment areas as Moderate. Also, through this final rule, the EPA is designating several areas as "unclassifiable" where the EPA cannot determine based on available information whether the area is meeting or not meeting the NAAQS or where the EPA has not determined whether the area contributes to a nearby violation. Additionally, the EPA is deferring initial area designations for several areas where the EPA cannot determine using available data whether the areas are meeting or are not meeting the NAAQS, but for which forthcoming data will likely result in complete and valid data needed to determine a designation. The EPA will assess these data as they become available and promulgate initial area designations for the deferred areas through a separate rulemaking action. The EPA is designating as "unclassifiable/attainment" all remaining areas of the country.

DATES:

The effective date of this rule is April 15, 2015.

I. Background

On December 14, 2012, the EPA promulgated a revised primary annual PM 2.5 NAAQS to provide increased protection of public health and welfare from fine particle pollution (78 FR 3086; January 15, 2013). In that action, the EPA revised the primary annual PM 2.5 standard, strengthening it from 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3 ) to 12.0 µg/m3 , which is attained when the 3-year average of the annual arithmetic means does not exceed 12.0 µg/m3 .

Section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), 42 U.S.C. 7407(d), governs the process for initial area designations after the EPA establishes a new or revised NAAQS. Under section 107(d), each governor is required to, and each tribal leader may, if they so choose, recommend air quality designations, including the appropriate boundaries for nonattainment areas, to the EPA by a date which cannot be later than 1 year after the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS. The EPA considers these recommendations as part of its duty to promulgate the formal area designations and boundaries for the new or revised NAAQS. If, after careful consideration of these recommendations, public input received and the EPA's own technical analyses, the EPA believes that it is necessary to modify a state's recommendation and to promulgate a designation different from a state's recommendation, then the EPA must notify the state at least 120 days prior to promulgating the final designation and the EPA must provide the state an opportunity to demonstrate why any proposed modification is inappropriate. These modifications may relate either to the designation of an area or to the boundaries of an area.

II. Purpose

The purpose of this action is to announce and promulgate initial area designations for most areas of the country with respect to the 2012 annual PM 2.5 NAAQS in accordance with the requirements of CAA section 107(d). The EPA is designating areas as nonattainment, unclassifiable, or unclassifiable/attainment. In addition, the EPA is initially classifying all nonattainment areas as Moderate pursuant to the particulate matter-specific provisions of subpart 4 of Part D of Title I of the CAA. The tables at the end of this final rule (amendments to 40 CFR 81.301-356) list all areas that the EPA is designating in each state and in areas of Indian country.

In this action, the EPA is designating 14 areas in six states, including two multi-state areas, as nonattainment for the 2012 PM 2.5 NAAQS. The EPA is designating three areas, including the entire state of Illinois, as unclassifiable because these areas have ambient air quality monitoring sites that lack complete data for the relevant period from 2011-2013. Therefore, the EPA cannot determine, based on available information, whether or not these areas are meeting or not meeting the NAAQS, and also has not determined whether these areas contribute to a nearby violation.

The EPA is deferring initial area designations for ten areas where available data, including air quality monitoring data, are insufficient to determine whether the areas are meeting or are not meeting the NAAQS. For these areas, the EPA believes that additional air quality monitoring data will result in complete and valid data sufficient to inform a designation determination. Accordingly, the EPA is deferring designations for these areas and using the additional time available as provided under section 107(d)(1)(B) of the CAA to assess relevant information and subsequently promulgate initial designations for the identified areas through a separate rulemaking action or actions. The ten deferred areas include eight areas in the state of Georgia, including two neighboring counties in the bordering states of Alabama and South Carolina, the entire state of Tennessee, excluding three counties in the Chattanooga area, and the entire state of Florida. The EPA is designating all the remaining state areas and areas of Indian country as unclassifiable/attainment.

Consistent with the EPA's "Policy for Establishing Separate Air Quality Designations for Areas of Indian Country" (December 20, 2011), the EPA is designating one area of Indian country separately from its adjacent/surrounding state areas.1The lands of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians in Southern California are being designated as a separate unclassifiable/attainment area.

III. What is PM 2.5 and how is it formed?


[top] Ambient, or outdoor, air can contain a variety of pollutants, including particulate matter (PM). Airborne PM can be comprised of either solid or liquid particles, and can be a complex mixture of particles in both solid and liquid form. The most common constituents of airborne PM include sulfate (SO 4 ); nitrate (NO 3 ); ammonium; elemental carbon; organic mass; and inorganic material, generally referred to as "crustal" material, which can include metals, dust, sea salt and other trace page 2208 elements. Airborne PM can be of different sizes, commonly referred to as "coarse" or "fine" particles. Fine particles, in general terms, are particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 2.5 micrometers (µm) in diameter. For this reason, particles of this size are referred to as PM 2.5 . PM 2.5 commonly includes "primary" particles and "secondary" particles. Primary particles, or direct PM 2.5 , are emitted directly into the air as solid or liquid particles by a variety of sources ( e.g., elemental carbon from diesel engines or wildfires, or condensable organic particles from gasoline engines). Secondary particles are formed in the atmosphere as a result of reactions between specific pollutants known as PM 2.5 precursors ( e.g., SO 4 and NO 3 from emissions of mobile and stationary sources of oxides of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide combined with ammonia).

IV. What are the health and welfare concerns that the 2012 PM 2.5 NAAQS address?

The human health effects associated with long- or short-term exposure to PM 2.5 are significant and include premature mortality, aggravation of respiratory and cardiovascular disease (as indicated by increased hospital admissions and emergency room visits) and development of chronic respiratory disease. In addition, welfare effects associated with elevated PM 2.5 levels include visibility impairment as well as effects on sensitive ecosystems, materials damage and soiling, and climatic and radiative processes.2

Footnotes:

2 For a complete discussion of the human health and welfare effects associated with exposure to elevated concentrations of particulate matter, see generally "Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter." U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development, National Center for Environmental Assessment-RTP Division, February 10, 2010. EPA/600/R-08/139F. Available at: http://www.epa.gov/ncea/pdfs/partmatt/Dec2009/PM_ISA_full.pdf. See Chapter 2.

The revised 2012 primary annual PM 2.5 standard will provide increased protection for children, older adults, persons with pre-existing heart and lung disease, and other at-risk populations against an array of PM 2.5 -related adverse health effects.

V. What are the CAA requirements for air quality designations and what action has the EPA taken to meet these requirements?

When the EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS, the EPA is required to designate areas as nonattainment, attainment, or unclassifiable, pursuant to section 107(d)(1) of the CAA. The CAA requires the EPA to complete the initial area designation process within 2 years of promulgating the NAAQS. However, if the Administrator has insufficient information to make these designations within that time frame, the EPA has the authority to extend the deadline for designation decisions by up to 1 additional year.

The initial area designations process is one of the first steps in the state and federal partnership to implement the NAAQS and improve air quality. By no later than 1 year after the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, each state governor is required to recommend air quality designations, including the appropriate boundaries for areas, to the EPA. The EPA reviews those state recommendations and accepts them unless the Administrator deems that a modification is necessary. The statute does not define the term "necessary," but the EPA interprets this section of the CAA to authorize the Administrator to modify designations that do not meet the statutory requirements or are otherwise inconsistent with the facts or analysis deemed appropriate by the EPA. If the EPA is considering modifications to a state's initial recommendation, the EPA is required to notify the state of any such intended modifications to its recommendation not less than 120 days prior to the EPA's promulgation of the final designation. These notifications are commonly known as the "120-day letters." If the state does not agree with the EPA's intended modification(s), it then has an opportunity to respond to the EPA to demonstrate why it believes the modification(s) is (are) inappropriate. In the event that a state fails to provide any recommendation for an area, in whole or in part, the EPA is still required to promulgate a designation that the Administrator deems appropriate, pursuant to section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii).

Section 107(d)(1)(A)(i) of the CAA defines a nonattainment area as "any area that does not meet (or that contributes to ambient air quality in a nearby area that does not meet) the national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard for the pollutant." If an area meets either prong of this definition, then the EPA is obligated to designate the area as "nonattainment." The EPA believes that section 107(d) provides the agency with discretion to determine how best to interpret the terms in the definition of a nonattainment area ( e.g., "contributes to" and "nearby") for a new or revised NAAQS, given considerations such as the nature of a specific pollutant, the types of sources that may contribute to violations, the form of the standards for the pollutant, and other relevant information. In particular, the EPA believes that the statute does not require the agency to establish bright line tests or thresholds for what constitutes "contribution" or "nearby" for purposes of designations.3Similarly, the EPA believes that the statute permits the EPA to evaluate the appropriate application of the term "area" as may be appropriate for a particular NAAQS. The EPA believes that the statute permits the EPA to evaluate the appropriate application of the term "area" to include geographic areas based upon full or partial county boundaries, and contiguous or non-contiguous areas, as may be appropriate for a particular NAAQS. For example, section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii) explicitly provides that the EPA can make modifications to designation recommendations for an area "or portions thereof," and under section 107(d)(1)(B)(iv) a designation remains in effect for an area "or portion thereof" until the EPA redesignates it.

Footnotes:

3 This view was confirmed in Catawba County v. EPA, 571 F.3d 20 (D.C. Cir. 2009).

Section 107(d)(1)(A)(iii) provides that any area that the EPA cannot designate on the basis of available information as meeting or not meeting the standards should be designated as "unclassifiable." Historically for PM 2.5 , the EPA designates the remaining areas as "unclassifiable/attainment" indicating that the areas either have attaining air quality monitoring data or that air quality information is not available because the areas are not monitored, and the EPA has not determined that the areas contribute to a violation in a nearby area.


[top] Section 301(d) of the CAA authorizes the EPA to approve eligible, federally-recognized tribal governments to implement provisions of the CAA. Pursuant to section 301(d)(2), the EPA promulgated regulations, known as the Tribal Authority Rule (TAR), on February 12, 1999. 63 FR 7254, codified at 40 CFR part 49. That rule specifies those provisions of the CAA for which it is appropriate to treat tribes in a similar manner as states. Under the TAR, tribes may choose to develop and implement their own CAA programs, but are not required to do so. The TAR also establishes procedures and criteria by which tribes may request from the EPA a determination of eligibility for such treatment. The designations process contained in section 107(d) of the CAA is included among those provisions determined to be appropriate by the EPA for treatment of tribes in the same manner as states. Under the TAR, tribes generally are not subject to the same submission schedules imposed by page 2209 the CAA on states. As authorized by the TAR, tribes may seek eligibility to submit designation recommendations to the EPA. In addition, CAA section 301(d)(4) gives the EPA discretionary authority, in cases where it determines that treatment of tribes as identical to states is "inappropriate or administratively infeasible," to provide for direct administration by regulation to achieve the appropriate purpose.

Seven tribes are currently eligible to submit their own recommendations under section 107(d). Nonetheless, the EPA invited all tribes to submit recommendations and supporting documentation concerning designations for the 2012 annual PM 2.5 NAAQS. Tribes could also comment on state recommendations and the EPA modifications. The EPA worked with all tribes that requested an opportunity to submit designation recommendations.

On April 16, 2013, the EPA issued a guidance memorandum to EPA Regional Administrators that provided information on the schedule and process for initially designating areas for the purpose of implementing the 2012 annual PM 2.5 NAAQS.4The Regional Offices were asked to share the memorandum with their state and tribal agencies. Within the memorandum, the EPA specified that consistent with the schedule in section 107(d)(1) of the CAA, as stated in the PM 2.5 NAAQS final rule, state governors were required to submit, and tribes can choose to submit, their initial designation recommendations to the EPA no later than 1 year following promulgation of the revised NAAQS, or by December 13, 2013. The memorandum identified that the EPA would use the most recent air quality monitoring data and evaluate the following five factors in making final nonattainment area boundary decisions for the revised annual PM 2.5 NAAQS: Air quality data, emissions and emissions-related data, meteorology, geography/topography, and jurisdictional boundaries.

Available at http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations/2012standards/docs/april2013guidance.pdf.

Most states and several tribes submitted designation recommendations and supporting documentation to the EPA by December 13, 2013. On August 19, 2014, the EPA sent letters to governors and tribal leaders notifying them of the EPA's preliminary response to their designation recommendations for the 2012 primary annual PM 2.5 NAAQS.5These letters, commonly referred to as the "120-day letters," conveyed the EPA's intended designations based on an evaluation of complete, certified, and quality-assured monitored air quality data for 2011-2013, including an evaluation of exceptional event claims. The letters also asked states to submit any additional information that they wanted the EPA to consider in its final designation decisions by October 29, 2014.

Footnotes:

5 If the EPA believes it is necessary to make any modifications to a state's or tribe's initial recommendations, including area boundaries, then the EPA is required to notify the state or tribe of this fact by letter no later than 120 days prior to finalizing the designation.

Although not required by section 107(d) of the CAA, the EPA also provided an opportunity for members of the public to comment on the EPA's August 2014 response letters to states and tribes. The EPA announced a 30-day public comment period in the Federal Register on August 29, 2014 (79 FR 51517). In this announcement, the EPA requested that interested parties submit their comments to the regulatory docket on or before September 29, 2014. The EPA received several requests from stakeholders for additional time to prepare their comments. Some of the requesters noted that the 30-day comment period being offered by the EPA was insufficient time to review the EPA's responses to states' and tribes' recommended designations and to compile meaningful responses due to the complexity of the issues impacting certain areas. Due to the EPA's statutory obligation to finalize the initial area designations in December 2014, the EPA did not extend the public comment period. State and tribal initial recommendations and the EPA's responses, including modifications, were posted on a publically accessible Web site ( http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations/2012standards/regs.htm ). Timely comments from the public and the EPA's responses to significant comments are in the docket for this action.

State areas designated as nonattainment are subject to planning and emission reduction requirements as specified in the CAA. As noted previously, the EPA is classifying all nonattainment areas as Moderate, which is the initial nonattainment area classification for all areas pursuant to CAA section 188.6In accordance with CAA section 188(c), the attainment date for each Moderate area shall be as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than the end of the sixth calendar year after the designation. Within the next several months, the EPA intends to propose an implementation rule to assist states in the development of state implementation plans for attaining the PM 2.5 standards.

Footnotes:

6 See Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club v. EPA, No. 08-1250 (D.C. Cir. January 4, 2013), indicating that the provisions in subpart 4 (sections 188-190) apply to implementation of PM 2.5 NAAQS.

VI. What air quality data is the EPA using for these designations?


[top] The final PM 2.5 designation decisions announced in this action are based on air quality monitoring data for calendar years 2011-2013, including an evaluation of exceptional event claims.7During the designations process, several states commented that the agency should delay designations to consider additional air quality data from 2014 in the designations decisions. As discussed earlier, the EPA must by law make final designation decisions within 2 years of promulgating a new or revised NAAQS, or in December 2014 based on the December 2012 promulgation of the revised annual PM 2.5 NAAQS, unless the EPA lacks sufficient information. This statutory deadline and the practical difficulties of obtaining complete, quality-assured, certified PM 2.5 data for the entirety of calendar year 2014 in December 2014 preclude the EPA from using 2014 data for this action. Under normal circumstances, such data would not be available for some time following the end of the calendar year, and, under the applicable regulations, states would not be required to certify such data until May 1, 2015. However, because designations are being promulgated near the end of calendar year 2014, and, because complete, quality-assured, certified 2014 data may become available for some areas quickly, the EPA is providing a process by which a full year of 2014 data that becomes available early in 2015 could be used in the designation process. We have provided that the final PM 2.5 designation decisions announced in this action will be effective on the date 90 days following the date of publication of this action in the Federal Register . If any state submits complete, quality-assured, certified 2014 data to the EPA by February 27, 2015, that suggest that a change of designation status is appropriate for any area within that state, and the EPA agrees that a change of designation status is appropriate, then we will withdraw the designation announced in this action for such area and issue another designation that page 2210 reflects the inclusion of 2014 data. We emphasize that we will conduct this process only for those states that submit the necessary complete, quality-assured, certified data by the deadline and in those instances where we can complete the analysis and effect the change of designation status before the original effective date established by this final action.

Footnotes:

7 Exceptional event claims influenced the EPA's designation decisions for areas in the state of Hawaii and for Lemhi County, Idaho.

If inclusion of 2014 data submitted by a state or tribal air agency causes an area to change from nonattainment to attainment, the EPA will change the designation for the area where it is neither monitoring a violation of the standards nor contributing to a violation of the standards in another nearby area. If inclusion of 2014 data submitted by a state or tribal air agency results in nonattainment in an area that was designated attainment, we will evaluate the reasons for the violation in the area and determine the appropriate course of action, which could include actions to change the designation to nonattainment for the area and any nearby areas that contribute to the violation. Also, the EPA commits to evaluate 2014 data for deferred areas when it receives complete, quality-assured, certified data from the state, which is due no later than May 1, 2015. At that time, the EPA will evaluate appropriate designations for such affected areas.

VII. How do designations affect areas of Indian country?

Following the EPA Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes, the EPA offered consultation to tribal officials early in the initial area designations process to permit them to have meaningful and timely input. The EPA subsequently consulted with all tribes who requested consultation.

In this document, all areas of Indian country are being designated as part of their surrounding state areas, with the exception of areas of Indian country for the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Mission Indians, which is being designated as a separate unclassifiable/attainment area, consistent with the EPA's Tribal Designations Policy.8

VIII. Where can I find information forming the basis for this rule and exchanges between the EPA, states and tribes related to this rule?

Information providing the basis for this action are provided in several technical support documents (TSDs), a response to comments document (RTC) and other information in the docket. The TSDs, RTC, the EPA's guidance memorandum, copies of correspondence regarding this designations process between the EPA and the states, tribes and other parties, are available for review at the EPA Docket Center listed above in the ADDRESSES section of this document and on the agency's PM 2.5 Designations Web site at http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations/2012standards/regs.htm. State-specific and area-specific information is available from the EPA Regional Offices.

IX. Environmental Justice Considerations

The CAA requires that the EPA designate as nonattainment "any area that does not meet (or that contributes to ambient air quality in a nearby area that does not meet) the national primary or secondary ambient air quality standard for the pollutant." By designating as nonattainment areas where available information indicates a violation of the 2012 annual PM 2.5 NAAQS or a contribution to a nearby violation, this action protects all those residing, working, attending school, or otherwise present in those areas regardless of minority or economic status.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

This action is exempt from review by the Office of Management and Budget because it will respond to the CAA requirement to promulgate air quality designations after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

This action does not impose an information collection burden under the PRA. This action fulfills the non-discretionary duty for the EPA to promulgate air quality designations after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, and does not contain any information collection activities.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

This action is not subject to the RFA. The RFA applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. This rule is not subject to the APA but is subject to CAA section 107(d)(2)(B), which does not require notice and comment rulemaking to take this action.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action implements mandates specifically and explicitly set forth in the CAA and fine particulate matter NAAQS (40 CFR 50.18). The CAA establishes the process whereby states take primary responsibility in developing plans to meet the PM 2.5 NAAQS.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

This action 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.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

This action has tribal implications. However, it will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on federally recognized tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. Areas of Indian country are being designated as part of this action.

The EPA offered consultation to tribal officials under the EPA Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes early in the process of developing this regulation to permit them to have meaningful and timely input into its development. During the designations process, the EPA consulted with all tribes who requested consultation. A summary of that consultation is provided in the docket supporting this rulemaking.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health and Safety Risks


[top] The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of "covered regulatory action" in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks. page 2211

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

The EPA believes the human health or environmental risk addressed by this action will not have potential disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on any population, including any minority, low-income or indigenous populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. The results of this evaluation of environmental justice considerations is contained in section X of this preamble titled, "Environmental Justice Considerations".

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a "major rule" as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

L. Judicial Review

Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates which Federal Courts of Appeal have venue for petitions of review of final actions by the EPA. This section provides, in part, that petitions for review must be filed in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit: (i) When the agency action consists of "nationally applicable regulations promulgated, or final actions taken, by the Administrator," or (ii) when such action is locally or regionally applicable, if "such action is based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect and if in taking such action the Administrator finds and publishes that such action is based on such a determination."

This final action designating areas for the 2012 annual PM 2.5 NAAQS is "nationally applicable" within the meaning of section 307(b)(1). This final action establishes designations for areas across the U.S. for the 2012 annual PM 2.5 NAAQS. At the core of this final action is the EPA's interpretations of the definitions of nonattainment, attainment, and unclassifiable under section 107(d)(1) of the CAA, and its application of those interpretations to areas across the country. For the same reasons, the Administrator is also determining that the final designations are of nationwide scope and effect for the purposes of section 307(b)(1). This is particularly appropriate because, in the report on the 1977 Amendments that revised section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, Congress noted that the Administrator's determination that an action is of "nationwide scope or effect" would be appropriate for any action that has a scope or effect beyond a single judicial circuit. H.R. Rep. No. 95-294 at 323, 324, reprinted in 1977 U.S.C.C.A.N. 1402-03. Here, the scope and effect of this final action extends to numerous judicial circuits since the designations apply to areas across the country. In these circumstances, section 307(b)(1) and its legislative history calls for the Administrator to find the action to be of "nationwide scope or effect" and for venue to be in the D.C. Circuit.

Thus, any petitions for review of final designations must be filed in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 60 days from the date final action is published in the Federal Register .
