New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Internal Combustion Engines; Court Vacatur AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)is amending the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)to reflect a 2015 court decision regarding the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines
(RICE)and the New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS)for Stationary Internal Combustion Engines (ICE). The court vacated provisions in the regulations specifying that emergency engines could operate for emergency demand response or during periods where there is a deviation of voltage or frequency. This ministerial rule revises the RICE NESHAP and ICE NSPS to conform to the court's decision. DATES: This final rule is effective on August 10, 2022. ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708.

(CRA)I. Why is the EPA issuing this final rule? This action amends the CFR to reflect the 2015 court decision in *Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control* v. *EPA,* 785 F.3d 1 (D.C. Cir. 2015) as amended (July 21, 2015), vacating 40 CFR 60.4211(f)(2)(ii) and (iii), 60.4243(d)(2)(ii) and (iii), and 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii). Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. The EPA has determined that there is good cause for amending these provisions without prior proposal and opportunity for public procedures because the correction of the CFR is a ministerial act to effectuate the court order and public notice and comment is unnecessary and would serve no useful purpose. Removal of the vacated paragraphs in the RICE NESHAP (40 CFR part 63 subpart ZZZZ) at 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii), the Compression Ignition
(CI)ICE NSPS (40 CFR part 60 subpart IIII) at 40 CFR 60.4211(f)(2)(ii) and (iii), and the Spark Ignition
(SI)ICE NSPS (40 CFR part 60 subpart JJJJ) at 60.4243(d)(2)(ii) and
(iii)has no legal effect beyond fulfilling the court's vacatur in *Delaware* v. *EPA* and is ministerial in nature. The court issued the mandate for its decision on May 4, 2016, at which point the vacatur became effective. II. Background The RICE NESHAP and ICE NSPS include a subcategory for emergency engines and specify that to be classified as an emergency engine, an engine must meet certain limitations on its hours of operation in non-emergency situations. The existing regulations provide that hours of operation in non-emergency situations are limited to 100 hours per year and only allowed for specific purposes. On January 30, 2013, the EPA finalized amendments to the RICE NESHAP and ICE NSPS specifying that the non-emergency situations in which emergency engines could be operated included
(1)for emergency demand response during periods in which the Reliability Coordinator under the North American Electric Reliability Corporation
(NERC)Reliability Standard EOP-002-3, Capacity and Energy Emergencies, or other authorized entity as determined by the Reliability Coordinator, has declared an Energy Emergency Alert Level 2 as defined in the NERC Reliability Standard EOP- 002-3 and
(2)periods where there is a deviation of voltage or frequency of 5 percent or greater below standard voltage or frequency. 78 FR 6674, January 30, 2013. The state of Delaware and other industry and environmental groups filed petitions seeking judicial review of the provisions specifying that emergency engines could operate for emergency demand response and during voltage or frequency deviations. In response to these petitions, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated those provisions in the RICE NESHAP and ICE NSPS in 2015. The court held that the EPA acted arbitrarily and capriciously when it modified the RICE NESHAP and ICE NSPS to specify that emergency engines could operate for up to 100 hours per year for emergency demand response. The court granted the EPA's motion to stay issuance of its mandate until May 2016 to allow engine owners to take the necessary measures to bring their engines into compliance with the regulations. Upon issuance of the court's mandate, the vacated provisions ceased to have any legal effect, and engines that were operating for any number of hours per year for the circumstances described in the vacated provisions were required to cease operation under such circumstances or comply with the emission standards and other applicable requirements for non-emergency engines. The EPA issued a guidance memorandum explaining the effect of the vacatur 1 and is now amending the RICE NESHAP and ICE NSPS to reflect the court decision. 1 *Guidance on Vacatur of RICE NESHAP and NSPS Provisions for Emergency Engines.* Peter Tsirigotis, OAQPS to EPA Regional Air Enforcement Managers and Regional Air Directors. April 15, 2016. *https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-06/documents/ricevacaturguidance041516.pdf.* III. Which provisions are being amended? This final rule amends the RICE NESHAP by removing paragraphs 40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii), the CI ICE NSPS by removing paragraphs 40 CFR 60.4211(f)(2)(ii) and (iii), and the SI ICE NSPS by removing paragraphs 40 CFR 60.4243(d)(2)(ii) and (iii), all of which were vacated by the *Delaware* v. *EPA* decision. The removal of the vacated paragraphs also necessitates revisions to other paragraphs in the ICE NSPS and RICE NESHAP that contained references to the vacated paragraphs or referenced operation of engines categorized as emergency engines for the purpose of emergency demand response, which can no longer occur due to the vacatur. A list of these revisions is provided below. • *40 CFR 60.4211(f):* Remove “emergency demand response” from the paragraph
(f)introductory text and the paragraph (f)(3) introductory text since operation for emergency demand response is no longer allowed for emergency engines; remove reference to the vacated paragraphs (f)(2)(ii) and
(iii)from the paragraph (f)(2) introductory text. • *40 CFR 60.4214(d):* Remove the reference in the paragraph
(d)introductory text to operating for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 60.4211(f)(2)(ii) and (iii); remove paragraphs
(v)and
(vi)which required reporting of operation and contractual obligation for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs. • *40 CFR 60.4219:* Revise definition for “emergency stationary internal combustion engine” to remove reference to the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 60.4211(f)(2)(ii) and
(iii)in paragraph
(3)of the definition. • *40 CFR 60.4243(d):* Remove “emergency demand response” from the paragraph
(d)introductory text and the paragraph (d)(3) introductory text since operation for emergency demand response is no longer allowed for emergency engines; remove reference to the vacated paragraphs (d)(2)(ii) and
(iii)from the paragraph (d)(2) introductory text. • *40 CFR 60.4245(e):* Remove the reference in the paragraph
(e)introductory text to operating for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 60.4243(d)(2)(ii) and (iii); remove paragraphs
(v)and
(vi)which required reporting of operation and contractual obligation for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs. • *40 CFR 60.4248:* Revise definition for “emergency stationary internal combustion engine” to remove reference to the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 60.4243(d)(2)(ii) and
(iii)in paragraph
(3)of the definition. • *40 CFR 63.6585:* Remove reference to operation and contractual obligation for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii). • *40 CFR 63.6590:* Remove references in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) and (b)(3)(iii) to operation and contractual obligation for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii). • *40 CFR 63.6604:* Remove reference in paragraph
(b)to operation and contractual obligation for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii); remove paragraph
(c)since it only applied to an emergency engine that operates or is contractually obligated to be available for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and
(iii)and there would no longer be any emergency engines meeting that criteria since operation for those purposes is no longer allowed for emergency engines. • *40 CFR 63.6640:* Remove “emergency demand response” from the paragraph
(f)introductory text, the paragraph (f)(3) introductory text, and the paragraph (f)(4) introductory text since operation for emergency demand response is no longer allowed for emergency engines; remove reference to the vacated paragraphs (f)(2)(ii) and
(iii)from the paragraph (f)(2) introductory text. • *40 CFR 63.6650:* Remove the reference in the paragraph
(h)introductory text to operating for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii); remove paragraphs
(v)and
(vi)which required reporting of operation and contractual obligation for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs. • *40 CFR 63.6655:* Remove reference in paragraph

(3)of the definition. • *Table 7 to subpart ZZZZ:* Remove reference in item 4 to operating for the purposes specified in the vacated paragraphs 40 CFR 63.6640(f)(2)(ii) and (iii). As explained above, removal of these provisions corrects the CFR to conform to the court's decision in *Delaware* v. *EPA* and is ministerial in nature and neither imposes or removes any new requirements. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at *https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.* A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review This action is not a significant regulatory action and was, therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)for review. B. Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA)This action does not impose an information collection burden under the PRA. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA)I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In making this determination, EPA concludes that the impact of concern for this rule is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities and that the agency is certifying that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the rule has no net burden on the small entities subject to the rule. This action is ministerial in nature as it codifies a court-issued mandate vacating regulatory provisions. We have therefore concluded that this action will have no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA)This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. 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 does not have Tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. This action presents no additional burden on implementing authorities beyond existing requirements. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only 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 concern an environmental health risk or safety risk. H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations 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 that this action is not subject to Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because it does not establish an environmental health or safety standard. This regulatory action is ministerial in nature as it codifies a court issued mandate vacating regulatory provisions and does not have any impact on human health or the environment. 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. The CRA allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and comment rulemaking procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest (5 U.S.C. 808(2)). The EPA has made a good cause finding for this rule in section I of this preamble, including the basis for that finding.
