Approval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; New Jersey, 2011
Periodic Emission Inventory SIP for the Ozone Nonattainment and PM2.5/
Regional Haze Areas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The SIP revision
consists of the following: 2011 calendar year ozone precursor emission
inventories for volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen and
carbon monoxide for the Northern New Jersey-New York-Connecticut area
classified as Moderate ozone nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone
standard, and Southern New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone nonattainment area
classified as Marginal ozone nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone
standard. In addition, the SIP revision also consists of the 2011
calendar year statewide periodic emissions inventory for particulate
matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns
(PM2.5) and the associated PM2.5 and/or Regional
Haze precursors. The pollutants included in this inventory include
volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen, PM2.5,
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to
10 microns, ammonia and sulfur dioxide.
[[Page 17167]]
Emission inventories are needed to develop and assess new control
strategies that the states may use in attainment demonstration SIPs for
the new National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and
PM2.5. The inventory may also serve as part of statewide
inventories for purposes of regional modeling in ozone and Regional
Haze transport areas. The inventory plays an important role in modeling
demonstrations for areas classified as nonattainment for ozone, carbon
monoxide and PM2.5.

I. Background--What is the Periodic Emissions Inventory?
Section 182(a)(3) and 172(c)(3) of the Clean Air Act requires the
periodic submission of emissions inventories for the SIP planning
process to address the pollutants for the ozone, particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns
(PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards. Identifying the calendar year gives certainty to
states that require submission of the ozone, PM2.5 and CO
emission inventories periodically. These requirements allow the EPA,
based on the states' progress in reducing emissions, to periodically
reassess its policies and air quality standards and revise them as
necessary. Most important, the ozone, PM2.5 and CO
inventories will be used to develop and assess new control strategies
that the states may use in attainment demonstration SIPs for the new
National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and PM2.5.
The inventory may also serve as part of statewide inventories for
purposes of regional modeling in transport areas. The inventory plays
an important role in modeling demonstrations for areas classified as
nonattainment and outside transport regions. In addition, 40 CFR
51.308(d)(4)(v) of EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) requires the
establishment of a statewide emissions inventory of pollutants that are
reasonably anticipated to cause or contribute to visibility impairment
in any mandatory Class I area.
New Jersey has areas that are classified as nonattainment for the
2008 8-hour ozone standard. See 77 FR 30088 (May 21, 2012) for the
Southern New Jersey-Philadelphia area classified as Marginal ozone
nonattainment, and 81 FR 26697 (May 4, 2016) for the Northern New
Jersey-New York-Connecticut area classified as Moderate ozone
nonattainment. Therefore, an ozone emissions inventory is needed for
these areas for air quality program planning purposes. For Regional
Haze, New Jersey has a Class I area within its borders: Brigantine
Wilderness Area (Brigantine). Emissions from New Jersey's sources were
also found to impact visibility at several other Class I areas: Acadia
National Park and the Moosehorn Wilderness Area in Maine, the Great
Gulf Wilderness Area and Presidential Range/Dry River Wilderness Area
in New Hampshire, and the Lye Brook Wilderness Area in Vermont. See 76
FR 49711 (August 11, 2011). Therefore, an emissions inventory is needed
for the Regional Haze air quality planning program effort.
The pollutants inventoried by New Jersey include volatile organic
compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and CO summertime
daily and annual emissions for the ozone areas; and VOC,
NOX, PM2.5, particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 microns
(PM10), ammonia (NH3) and sulfur dioxide
(SO2) annual emissions for the PM2.5 and/or
Regional Haze areas. For the reasons stated above, ideally EPA would
therefore emphasize the importance and benefits of developing a
comprehensive, current, and accurate ozone and PM2.5/
Regional Haze emissions inventory (similar to the 1990 base year
inventory effort). In this case, the 2011 calendar year has been
selected as the inventory that will be used for planning purposes for
ozone and PM2.5/Regional Haze areas.
II. What are the criteria for approving the Periodic Inventory?
On June 11, 2015, New Jersey submitted the 2011 ozone emissions
inventory for the Northern New Jersey-New York-Connecticut and Southern
New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone nonattainment areas and the 2011
emissions inventory for the PM2.5/Regional Haze areas and
requested that EPA approve the emissions inventory SIP revision. This
section describes EPA's rationale for proposing to approve the
emissions inventory SIP revision. A more detailed discussion of the
EPA's review and proposed action is found in the technical support
document (TSD) available in the Docket for this action, and by
contacting the individuals in the For Further Information Contact
section.
There are specific components of an acceptable emission inventory.
The emission inventory must meet certain minimum requirements for
reporting each source category. Specifically, the source requirements
are detailed below.
The review process, which is described in the accompanying TSD, is
used to determine that all components of the base year inventory are
present. This review also evaluates the level of supporting
documentation provided by the state, assesses whether the emissions
were developed according to current EPA guidance, and evaluates the
quality of the data.
The review process is outlined here and consists of eight elements
that the inventory must include. For an emissions inventory to be
acceptable, it
[[Page 17168]]
must pass all of the following acceptance criteria:
1. Evidence that the inventory was quality assured by the state and
its implementation documented;
2. The point source inventory was complete;
3. Point source emissions were prepared or calculated according to
the current EPA guidance;
4. The area source inventory was complete;
5. The area source emissions were prepared or calculated according
to the current EPA guidance;
6. Non-road mobile emissions were prepared according to the current
EPA guidance for all of the source categories;
7. The method (e.g., Highway Performance Monitoring System or a
network transportation planning model) used to develop vehicle miles
travelled (VMT) estimates follows the EPA guidance; and,
8. On-road mobile emissions were prepared according to the current
EPA guidance.
Based on the EPA's review, New Jersey satisfies all of the EPA's
requirements for purposes of providing a comprehensive, accurate, and
current inventory of actual emissions for the ozone nonattainment and
PM2.5/Regional Haze areas. A summary of the EPA's review is
given below:
1. The Quality Assurance (QA) plan was implemented for all portions
of the inventory. The QA plan included a QA/Quality control (QC)
program for assessing data completeness and standard range checking.
Critical data elements relative to the inventory sources were assessed
for completeness. QA checks were performed relative to data collection
and analysis, and double counting of emissions from point, area and
mobile sources. QA/QC checks were conducted to ensure accuracy of
units, unit conversions, transposition of figures, and calculations.
The inventory is well documented. New Jersey provided documentation
detailing the methods used to develop emissions estimates for each
category. In addition, New Jersey identified the sources of data used
in developing the inventory;
2. The point source emissions are complete and in accordance with
the EPA guidance;
3. The point source emissions were prepared/calculated in
accordance with the EPA guidance;
4. The area source emissions are complete and in accordance with
the EPA guidance;
5. Area source emissions were prepared/calculated in accordance
with the EPA guidance;
6. Emission estimates for the non-road mobile source categories are
correctly based on the latest non-road mobile model or other
appropriate guidance and prepared in accordance with the EPA guidance;
7. The method used to develop VMT estimates is in accordance with
the EPA guidance and was adequately described and documented in the
inventory report; and,
8. The latest Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model was
used in accordance with the EPA's guidance.
New Jersey's 2011 ozone and PM2.5/Regional Haze emission
inventories have been developed in accordance with EPA guidance.
Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve the emission inventories. A more
detailed discussion of how the emission inventory was reviewed and the
results of the review are presented in the TSD. Detailed emission
inventory development procedures can be found in the following
document: Emission Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and
Particulate Matter NAAQS and Regional Haze Regulation, dated August
2005; Using MOVES to Prepare Emission Inventories in State
Implementation Plans and Transportation Conformity: Technical Guidance
for MOVES2010, 2010a and 2010b, April 2012.

III. What action is the EPA proposing to take?
The New Jersey emission inventory SIP revision will ensure that the
requirements for emission inventory measures and reporting are
adequately met. To comply with the emission inventory requirements, New
Jersey submitted a complete inventory containing point, area, on-road,
and non-road mobile source data, and accompanying documentation. EPA is
proposing to approve the SIP revision submittal as meeting the
essential reporting requirements for emissions inventories. EPA has
also determined that the SIP revision meets the requirements for
emission inventories in accordance with EPA guidance.
Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the New Jersey
SIP which pertains to the following: 2011 calendar year summer season
daily and annual ozone precursor emissions emission inventories for
VOC, NOX and CO for the Northern New Jersey-New York-
Connecticut and the Southern New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone
nonattainment areas. In addition, the EPA is proposing to approve the
2011 calendar year PM2.5/Regional Haze emissions inventory
that was developed statewide for New Jersey. The pollutants included in
the inventory are annual emissions for VOC, NOX,
PM2.5, PM10, NH3 and SO2.
Interested parties may participate in the Federal rulemaking procedure
by submitting written comments to the EPA Region 2 Office by the method
discussed in the ADDRESSES section of this action.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
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);
[[Page 17174]]
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and the EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive
Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
