).
ACTION
:
Proposed rule
—
consistencyupdate.
SUMMARY
:
EPA is proposing to update aportion of the Outer Continental Shelf (
‘‘
OCS
’’
) Air Regulations. Requirementsapplying to OCS sources located within25 miles of states
’
seaward boundariesmust be updated periodically to remainconsistent with the requirements of thecorresponding onshore area (
‘‘
COA
’’
), asmandated by section 328(a)(1) of theClean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (
‘‘
theAct
’’
). The portion of the OCS airregulations that is being updatedpertains to the requirements for OCSsources for which the Santa BarbaraCounty Air Pollution Control District(Santa Barbara County APCD), SouthCoast Air Quality Management District(South Coast AQMD) and VenturaCounty Air Pollution Control District(Ventura County APCD) are thedesignated COAs. The intended effect of approving the OCS requirements for theabove Districts is to regulate emissionsfor OCS sources in accordance with therequirements onshore. The changes tothe existing requirements discussed below are proposed to be incorporated by reference into the Code of FederalRegulations and are listed in theappendix to the OCS air regulations.

I. Background information
A. Why is EPA taking this action? 
On September 4, 1992, EPApromulgated 40 CFR part 55,
1
whichestablished requirements to control airpollution from OCS sources in order toattain and maintain federal and stateambient air quality standards and tocomply with the provisions of part C of title I of the Act. Part 55 applies to allOCS sources offshore of the Statesexcept those located in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude.Section 328 of the Act requires that forsuch sources located within 25 miles of a state
’
s seaward boundary, therequirements shall be the same as would be applicable if the sources were locatedin the COA. Because the OCSrequirements are based on onshorerequirements, and onshore requirementsmay change, section 328(a)(1) requiresthat EPA update the OCS requirementsas necessary to maintain consistencywith onshore requirements.Pursuant to
§
55.12 of the OCS rule,consistency reviews will occur (1) atleast annually; (2) upon receipt of aNotice of Intent under
§
55.4; or (3)when a state or local agency submits arule to EPA to be considered forincorporation by reference in part 55.This proposed action is being taken inresponse to the submittal of rules bythree local air pollution controlagencies. Public comments received inwriting within 30 days of publication of this document will be considered byEPA before publishing a final rule.Section 328(a) of the Act requires thatEPA establish requirements to controlair pollution from OCS sources locatedwithin 25 miles of states
’
seaward boundaries that are the same as onshorerequirements. To comply with thisstatutory mandate, EPA mustincorporate applicable onshore rulesinto part 55 as they exist onshore. Thislimits EPA
’
s flexibility in decidingwhich requirements will beincorporated into part 55 and preventsEPA from making substantive changesto the requirements it incorporates. Asa result, EPA may be incorporating rulesinto part 55 that do not conform to allof EPA
’
s state implementation plan(SIP) guidance or certain requirementsof the Act. Consistency updates mayresult in the inclusion of state or localrules or regulations into part 55, eventhough the same rules may ultimately bedisapproved for inclusion as part of theSIP. Inclusion in the OCS rule does notimply that a rule meets the requirementsof the Act for SIP approval, nor does itimply that the rule will be approved byEPA for inclusion in the SIP.
II. EPA
’
s Evaluation
A. What criteria were used to evaluaterules submitted to update 40 CFR part 55? 
In updating 40 CFR part 55, EPAreviewed the rules submitted forinclusion in part 55 to ensure that theyare rationally related to the attainmentor maintenance of federal or stateambient air quality standards or part Cof title I of the Act, that they are notdesigned expressly to preventexploration and development of theOCS and that they are applicable to OCSsources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has alsoevaluated the rules to ensure they arenot arbitrary or capricious. 40 CFR55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excludedadministrative or procedural rules,
2
andrequirements that regulate toxics whichare not related to the attainment andmaintenance of federal and stateambient air quality standards.
B. What rule revisions were submitted toupdate 40 CFR part 55? 
1. After review of the rule submitted by the Santa Barbara County APCDagainst the criteria set forth above andin 40 CFR part 55, EPA is proposing tomake the following rule revisionapplicable to sources for which theSanta Barbara County APCD isdesignated as the COA:

III. Administrative Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget(OMB) has exempted this regulatoryaction from Executive Order 12866,Regulatory Planning and Review.
B. Executive Order 13045
Executive Order 13045, entitledProtection of Children fromEnvironmental Health Risks and SafetyRisks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),applies to any rule that: (1) Isdetermined to be
‘‘
economicallysignificant
’’
as defined under ExecutiveOrder 12866, and (2) concerns anenvironmental health or safety risk thatEPA has reason to believe may have adisproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets both criteria,the Agency must evaluate theenvironmental health or safety effects of the planned rule on children, andexplain why the planned regulation ispreferable to other potentially effectiveand reasonably feasible alternativesconsidered by the Agency.This rule is not subject to ExecutiveOrder 13045 because it does not involvedecisions intended to mitigateenvironmental health or safety risks.
