# Identification of plan.
**AGENCY:**
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
**ACTION:**
Final rule.
**SUMMARY:**
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving state implementation plan (SIP) submittals from the State of Colorado under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that address contingency measures and Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the Denver Metro/North Front Range (DMNFR) Serious ozone nonattainment area. The EPA finds that the State has met the applicable CAA requirements for Serious area contingency measures as well as RACT for certain stationary sources. Accordingly, the EPA is approving the respective SIP revisions to implement the submitted motor vehicle coating contingency measure, but we are not taking action on one of the identified contingency measures included in the submittals that concerns pneumatic controllers. In addition, the EPA is approving regulatory revisions that Colorado adopted to implement RACT requirements for landfill/biogas fired engines, refinery fuel process heaters, and a cold rolling mill, except that we are not taking final action on the RACT requirement for one refinery fuel process heater that was submitted by Colorado due to an identified error. The EPA is taking this action pursuant to the CAA.
**DATES:**
This rule is effective on May 11, 2026.
**ADDRESSES:**
The EPA has established dockets for the contingency measures and RACT requirements for this action under Docket ID No. EPA-R08-OAR-2024-0622 and EPA-R08-OAR-2025-0233, respectively.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
Throughout this document “we,” “us,” and “our” means the EPA.
**I. Background**
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our May 8, 2025 and June 18, 2025 proposals. [^1] In the document published May 8, 2025, we proposed to approve SIP revisions submitted by Colorado on June 26, 2023, May 23, 2024, and April 2, 2025. These revisions were submitted, in part, to meet the contingency measures requirements of CAA sections 172(c)(9) and 182(c)(9) through adoption of requirements for automotive coating facilities and inclusion of an infeasibility justification for adoption of contingency measures providing for emission reductions of less than one year's worth of progress. In the proposed rulemaking published on June 18, 2025, we proposed to approve SIP revisions submitted by Colorado on June 26, 2023, May 23, 2024, May 30, 2024, and April 2, 2025. These revisions were submitted, in part, to meet the RACT requirement of CAA sections 172(c)(1) and 182(b)(2) through adoption of requirements for landfill/biogas fired engines, refinery fuel process heaters, and a cold rolling mill. The EPA also issued interim final determinations concurrently with the May 8, 2025 and June 18, 2025 proposed approvals of Colorado's contingency measures and RACT SIP submissions to stay and defer sanctions pending from the EPA's prior disapproval actions for the two requirements.

**II. Response to Comments**
We received comments on the May 8, 2025 proposal and the accompanying interim final determination from the following commenters: (1) the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), the Colorado Sierra Club, and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility in a comment letter submitted jointly (herein referred to as CBD comments), and (2) an anonymous public commenter. We also received comments on the June 18, 2025 proposal and associated interim final determination from the following three commenters: two anonymous public commenters and from Suncor Energy. All comments received are located in the two dockets for this action listed above.
Concerning the May 8, 2025 proposal, the anonymous public comment is not directed to the proposed SIP revisions addressed in this rulemaking, and therefore the EPA is not responding to it. The comments from CBD raise concerns related to our proposed action on Colorado's contingency measures SIP submittal, including the associated infeasibility justification, and claim that the submittal does not satisfy the requirements of CAA sections 172(c)(9) and 182(c)(9). As to the June 18, 2025 proposal, one of the anonymous public comments is not relevant to the RACT requirements at issue in the proposed rule and the EPA is not responding to it. The other anonymous comment discusses requirements for cement production process heaters generally and is not specific to RACT for refinery fuel-fired process heaters addressed by the proposed rule. The comment on the June 18, 2025 proposal from Suncor Energy identifies an error in the associated regulatory revisions submitted by the State of Colorado. A summary of the comments on the May 8, 2025 and June 18, 2025 actions that are relevant to this final action and the EPA's responses are provided in the Response to Comments document, which is located in the rulemaking dockets for this action.
**III. Final Action**
The EPA is finalizing approval of Colorado's SIP revisions related to the contingency measures requirement because we find that they satisfy CAA sections 172(c)(9) and 182(c)(9) for the DMNFR Serious ozone nonattainment area with respect to the 2008 ozone NAAQS. This includes approval of the adopted automotive coatings contingency measure, the infeasibility justification, and associated regulatory revisions to Regulation 7 (Reg. 7) and Regulation 25 (Reg. 25) identified in the May 8, 2025 proposed rule. The EPA is also finalizing approval of the majority of Colorado's SIP revisions related to the RACT requirement because we find that they satisfy CAA sections 172(c)(1) and 182(b)(2). This includes approval of regulatory requirements for landfill/biogas fired engines, refinery fuel process heaters, and a cold rolling mill located in Colorado's Reg. 7 and Regulation 26 (Reg. 26) detailed in the June 18, 2025 proposed rule. Specifically, the EPA is finalizing approval of the regulatory revisions identified in table 1 in this document (below) for which we proposed approval in the May 8, 2025 and June 18, 2025 proposed rules.
As described in the EPA's June 18, 2025 proposed rule, [^3] the EPA is not taking action on the addition to Reg. 7, Part E, section II.A.4. from the June 26, 2023 SIP submittal that concerns the May 1, 2024 compliance date for equipment specified under sections II.A.1.d.-e. The EPA will propose action on the associated revision to section II.A.4. concurrently with the revisions to sections II.A.1.d.-e. in a future action.
[^3]*See* 90 FR 25960 at footnote 21.
The EPA is also not finalizing approval of revisions to Reg. 7, Part A, sections I.A.1.a., I.B.2.a.(iii), I.B.2.d., and I.B.2.d.(iii)-(iv), as well as the corresponding language in Reg. 25, Part A, sections I.A.1.a., I.B.2.a.(iii), I.B.2.d., and I.B.2.d.(iii)-(iv), which we had proposed approval of in our May 8, 2025 proposed rule. The revisions to these sections relate to the portion of northern Weld County which is included in the DMNFR nonattainment area for the 2015 ozone NAAQS but is not included within the DMNFR nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. As such, it is unnecessary to finalize our approval of the revisions referenced above in this action concerning contingency measures and RACT requirements for the Serious classification of the DMNFR nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The EPA intends to address these revisions in a separate action at a later date.

In this final action EPA is not acting upon that portion of the SIP submission that incorporates heater H-1717 due to an error that was identified in the regulatory revisions submitted by the State of Colorado on April 2, 2025, concerning RACT determinations for individual refinery fuel process heaters. Colorado's technical support documentation accompanying its RACT determinations for process heaters, as well as the EPA's proposed rule, make clear that Colorado determined that additional controls were not technologically or economically feasible for all refinery fuel process heaters. [^4] Colorado therefore adopted revisions at Reg. 26, Part B, section II.A.4.g.(iv) to identify the existing emission controls that were determined to represent RACT for individual units. For the process heater designated H-1717, the existing emission control was inadvertently listed as operation of ultra-low NO <sub>X</sub> burners. However, heater H-1717 is equipped with low NO <sub>X</sub> burners as shown in Colorado's supporting technical documentation at table 5 [^5] and Colorado's analysis of economic infeasibility of ultra-low NO <sub>X</sub> burner or Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) retrofit, as summarized in tables 8 and 9 of the State's analysis, demonstrates the lack of additional feasible emission controls available for the unit. [^6] In our proposed rule, the EPA concurred with Colorado's rejection of burner retrofits and SCR for heater H-1717 on the basis of economic infeasibility, highlighting that the EPA correctly evaluated Colorado's RACT determination despite the error in the submitted regulatory revisions. [^7] However, due to the identified error, the EPA is not finalizing our proposed approval for RACT concerning process heater H-1717. We are also not finalizing approval of the language included in table 3 of the revision to Reg. 26, Part B, section II.A.4.g.(iv) concerning heater H-1717. The EPA intends to take action to approve RACT for heater H-1717 when the corrected rule text is submitted to the EPA by Colorado for incorporation into the SIP. The SIP's inclusion of inaccurate existing burner technology for process heater H-1717 in table 3 of Reg. 26, Part B, section II.A.4.g.(iv) does not affect our approval of Colorado's RACT SIP submittal for all other identified process heaters besides heater H-1717. To be clear, the EPA is not disapproving Colorado's SIP submission concerning process heater H-1717. Rather, because of the identified error in the State's submission, we are not acting upon that portion of the submission, and intend to approve an anticipated, future submission from Colorado that corrects the error.

Because the EPA is now finalizing approval of the portions of Colorado's SIP submittals that correct the prior contingency measure disapproval, the associated sanctions from EPA's November 7, 2023 are now fully relieved. The EPA is also finalizing approval of RACT requirements for landfill/biogas engines and a cold rolling mill and is determining that our prior December 8, 2023 disapproval concerning these specific sources is now resolved. Concerning RACT requirements for refinery fuel process heaters that were included in the EPA's December 8, 2023 disapproval, the EPA is finalizing our proposed approval that Colorado has adopted RACT for all of the affected units except for process heater H-1717 due to the identified error in Colorado's submitted regulatory language. Therefore, our December 8, 2023 disapproval concerning RACT and associated deferred sanctions will not be fully resolved until EPA receives and takes final action concerning RACT for heater H-1717. To be clear, the interim final determination issued June 18, 2025 remains in effect with sanctions deferred pending EPA action on an anticipated error correction to be submitted by Colorado.
**IV. Incorporation by Reference**
In this document, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of Colorado Air Quality Control Commission Reg. 7 pertaining to the “Control of Ozone via Ozone Precursors and Control of Hydrocarbons via Oil and Gas Emissions (Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds & Nitrogen Oxides),” Reg. 25 pertaining to the “Control of Emissions from Surface Coating, Solvents, Asphalt, Graphic Arts and Printing, and Pharmaceuticals,” and Reg. 26 pertaining to the “Control of Emissions from Engines and Major Stationary Sources” (as listed in table 1 above and discussed in section III.). The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through *https://www.regulations.gov* and at the EPA Region 8 Office (please contact the person identified in the *FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT* section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation. [^8]
[^8] 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
**V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews**
Under the CAA, 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, the EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 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);
• Is not subject to Executive Order 14192 (90 FR 9065, February 6, 2025) because SIP actions are exempt from review under Executive Order 12866;
• 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);
• Does not have federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
• Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
• Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
• 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 CAA.
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian Tribe has demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have Tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act (CRA), and 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).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 8, 2026. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).
