Section 112(d) of the CAA requires the EPA to regulate HAP from major stationary sources based on the performance of MACT. Section 112(h) of the CAA allows the EPA to establish work practice standards in lieu of numerical emission limits only in cases where the agency determines that it is not feasible to prescribe***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 4 of 375 or enforce an emission standard, including circumstances in which the agency determines that the application of measurement methodology is not practicable due to technological and economic limitations . The EPA is revising certain MACT standards established in March 2011 for boilers and process heaters , including standards for CO

— as a surrogate for organic HAP ; HCl

— as a surrogate for acid gas HAP ; Hg ; TSM or filterable PM
- as a surrogate for non
-Hg metallic HAP ; and dioxin/furan . This final rule amends certain provisions of the final rule issued by the EPA on March 21, 2011. The EPA delayed the effective date of the 2011 rule in a May 18, 2011 notice, but that delay notice was vacated by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on January 9, 2012, and the March 2011 final rule was, therefore, in effect until publication of this action . Summary of Major Reconsideration Provisions In general, this final rule require s facilities classified as major sources of HAP with affected boilers or process heaters to reduce emissions of harmful toxic air emissions from these combustion sources. This will improve air quality and protect public health in communities where these facilities are located. Recognizing the diversity of this source category and the multiple sectors of the economy this fina l rule effects, the EPA is revising certain subcategories for boilers and process***E.O. 12866 Review

These revisions result in 19 subcategories for the boilers and process heaters source category. Numerical emission limits are established for most of the subcategories for five pollutants, CO, HCl, Hg, and PM or TSM. The review of existing data and conside ration of new data have resulted in changes to some of the emission limits contained in the March 2011 final rule. Overall, for both new and existing affected units, about 30 percent of the emission limits are more stringent, half are less stringent, and 2 0 percent unchanged as compared to the March 2011 final rule. Also, based on its review and analysis of new data submissions, the EPA is establishing an alternative emission standard for CO, based on CEMS data for several subcategories with CO CEMS data available. This alternative standard is based on a 30
- day rolling average for subcategories for which sufficient CEMS data were available for more than a 30
- day period, or a 10
- day rolling average for subcategories for which CEMS data were available fo r less than a 30
- day period, and provides additional compliance flexibility to sources. All of the subcategories are subject to periodic tune
-up work practices for dioxin/furan emissions. The compliance date s for the rule are **[ INSERT THE DATE 3**  **YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF**  **PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ]**  for***E.O. 12866 Review

sources. New sources are defined as sources that began operation on or after June 4, 2010. Costs and Benefits The final rule affect 1,70 0 existing major source facilities with an estimated 14,1 36 boilers and process heaters and the EPA projects an additional 1,844 new boilers and process heaters to be subject to this final rule over the next 3 years. This final rule affects multiple sectors of the economy including small entities. Table 1 summarizes the costs and benefits associated with this final rule. A more detailed discussion of the costs and benefits of this final rule is provided in section VI of this preamble.

-benefits reflect the human health benefits associated with reducing exposure to PM2.5 through reductions of PM2.5 precursors such as directly emitted particles, SO2 , and NOx and reducing exposure to ozone through reductions of VOC. It is important to note that the monetized benefits include many but not all health effects associated with PM2.5 exposure. Monetized benefits are shown as a range from Pope et al. (2002) to Laden et al. (2006). These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because the scientific evidence is not yet sufficient to support the development of differential effects estimates by particle type. These estimates include the energy disbenefits valued at $24 million (using the 3 percent discount rate), which do not change the rounded t otals. CO2 - related disbenefits were calculated using the “social cost of carbon”, which is discussed further in the RIA. 3 The methodology used to estimate social costs for one year in the multimarket model using surplus changes results in the same social costs for both discount rates.

Background Information**  A. Chronological History of Related Actions On March 21, 2011, the EPA issued final standards for new and existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters, pursuant to its authority under se ction 112 of the CAA. On the same day as the final rule was issued, the EPA stated in a separate notice that it planned to initiate a reconsideration of several provisions of the final rule. This reconsideration notice identified several provisions of the March 2011 final rule where additional public comment was appropriate. This notice also identified several issues of central relevance to the rulemaking where reconsideration was appropriate under CAA section 307(d). On May 18, 2011, the EPA issued a notice to postpone the effective date of the March 21, 2011 final rule. Foll owing promulgation of the final rule, the EPA received petitions for reconsideration from the following organizations (“Petitioners”): AIE, USCHPA, Alyeska Pipeline, ACC, AHFA, AISI, ACCCI, AMP, API, NPRA, AIF, Citizens Energy Group (CEG), CIBO, CMI, Distr ict Energy St. Paul, FSI, GPSP, Hovensa L.L.C., Tesoro Hawaii Corp., Industry Coalition (AF&PA et. al.), JELD

On December 23, 2011 , the EPA granted the petitions for reconsideration on certain issues, and proposed certain revisions to the final rule in response to the reconsideration petitions and to address the issues that the EPA previously identi fied as warranting reconsideration. That proposal solicited comment on several specific aspects of the rule, including:

 Revising the proposed subcategories .

 Solicitation of new data or corrections to existing data to revise emission standards calculations.

 Establishing an alternative TSM limit.

 Appropriateness of an alternative TSM limit for the liquid subcategories.

 Establishing work practice standards for dioxin/furan emissions.

 Revising the efficiency assumptions for the alternative output -based emission standards.***E.O. 12866 Review

Summary of This**  **Final Rule**  As stated above, the December 23, 2011 proposed rule addressed specific issues and provisions the EPA identified for reconsideration. This summary of the final rule reflects the changes to 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDDD (March 21, 2011 final rule) in regards to those provisions identified for reconsideration and on other discrete matters identified in response to comments or data received during the comment period. Information on other provisions and issues not proposed for reconsideration is contained in the notice and record for the 2011 final rule. [ See 76 FR 15608] This section summarizes the requirements of this action . Section IV below provides a summary of the significant changes to the March 21, 2011 final rule . A. What is an af fected source? This final rule revises the list of exemptions in §63.7491 to include residential boilers that may be located at an industrial, commercial or institutional major source. The exemption for boilers or process heaters used specifically for
rese arch and development has been revised to include boilers used for certain testing purposes.***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 18 of 375 B . What are the subcategories of boilers and process heaters ? In this final rule , we are finalizing separate subcategories for heavy liquid
- fired, light liquid
- fired and liquid
- fired units in non
- continental locations for PM and CO, pollutants that are dependent on combustor design. In addition, a new subcategory for coal
- fired fluidized bed boilers with integrated fluidized bed heat exchangers has been included in the final rule for CO which is dependent on boiler design. Finally, we are finalizing the subcategory for PM at coal/fossil solid units across all coal combustor designs. C . What emission limits and work practice standards are being finalized ? You must meet the emission limits presented in Table 3 of this preamble for each subcategory of units listed in the table . This final rule includes 19 subcategories, which are based on unit design. New and existing units in three of the subcategories are subject to work practices standards in lieu of emission limits for all pollutants . Numeric emission limits are finalized for new and existing sources in each of the other 16 subcategories . The changes associated with the emission limits are due to new data, corrections to old data, and inventory changes. In summary, for existing subcategories , for the HCl emission limits, 10 are more stringent, 3 are less stringent and 1***E.O. 12866 Review

We also are finalizing a work practice standard for dioxin/furan emissions from all subcategories. D . What are the requirements during periods of startup and shutdown? We are finalizing revised work practice standards for periods of startup and shutdown to better reflect the maximum achievable control technology during those periods. In addition, we are final izing definitions of startup and shutdown. We are defining startup as the period between the state of first
- firing of fuel in the unit after a shutdown to the period where the***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 24 of 375 unit first supplies steam. We are defining shutdown as the period that begins when no more steam is supplied or at the point of no fuel being fired in the unit. For periods of startup and shutdown, we are finalizing the following work practice standard: You must operate all continuous monitoring systems during startup and shutdown. Fo r startup, you must use one or a combination of the listed clean fuels. Once you start firing coal /solid fossil fuel, biomass/bio

-based solids, heavy liquid fuel, or gas 2 (other) gases , you must engage all of the applicable control devices except limestone injection in FBC boilers , dry scrubber, fabric filter, SNCR and SCR. You must start your limestone injection in FBC boilers , dry scrubber, fabric filter, SNCR and SCR systems as expeditiously as possible, but, in any case, when necessary to comply with o ther standards applicable that require operation of the control devices. During shutdown while firing coal /solid fossil fuel, biomass/bio

-based solids, heavy liquid fuel, or gas 2 (other) gases during shutdown, you must operate all applicable control devices , except l imestone injection in FBC boilers , dry scrubber, fabric filter, SNCR and SCR . You must comply with all applicable emissions and operating limits at all times the unit is in operation except for periods that meet the definitions of startup and shutdown in this subpart , during which times you must comply with these work practices . You must keep records***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 25 of 375 during periods of startup or shutdown. You must keep records concerning the date, duration, and fuel usage during startup and shutdown. E . What are the testing and initial compliance requirements? We are requiring that the owner or operator of a new or existing boiler or process heater conduct performance tests to demonstrate compliance with all applicable emission limits. This final rule adds the requirement to conduct initial and annual stack tests to determine compliance with the TSM emission limits using EPA Method 29 for those subcategories with alternate TSM limits . F . What are the continuous compliance requirements? This final rule removes the requirement for units combusting biomass with heat input capacities of 250 MMBtu/hr or greater to install, certify, maintain and operate a CEMS measuring PM emissions. This final rule requires units combusting solid fossil fuel or he avy liquid with heat input capacities of 250 MMBtu/hr or greater to install, certify, maintain, and operate PM CPMS. Moreover, owners or operators of units combusting solid fossil fuel or heavy liquid with heat input capacities of 250 MMBtu/hr or greater a re allowed to install, certify, maintain and operate PM CEMS as an alternative to the use of PM CPMS, consistent with regulations for similarly
- sized commercial and industrial solid waste***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 26 of 375 incinerators units and EGUs subject to the MATS. Just as units using PM CPMS will not be required to conduct parameter monitoring for PM, units using PM CEMS will not be required to conduct parameter monitoring for PM. This final rule also includes an alternative method of demonstrating continuous compliance with the HCl emission limit. This method allows using SO 2 emissions as an alternate operating limit. This method of demonstrating continuous compliance will be allowed only on a unit that utilizes a SO 2 CEMS and an acid
- gas control technology including wet scrubber, dry scrubbers and duct sorbent injection. Boilers or process heaters subject to an HCl emission limit that demonstrate compliance with an SO 2 CEMS would be required to maintain the 30
- day rolling average SO 2 emission rate at or below the highest hourly average SO 2 concentration measured during the most recent HCl performance test. G. What are the compliance dates? The EPA is establishing the compliance date for existing sources that is 3 years from the date of publication of this final reconsideration action. For new sources, the EPA is changing the compliance date to **[INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN**  **THE FEDERAL REGISTER ]**  or upon startup, whichever is later. New sources are defined as sources which commenced construction or***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 27 of 375 reconstruction on or after June 4, 2010 pursuant to section 112(a)(4). Commenters have argued that the 3
- year compliance deadline the EPA is establishing for sources to meet the standards does not provide them with sufficient time to meet the standards in view of the number of sources that will be competing for the needed resources and materials from engineering consultants, permitting authorities, equipment vendors, construction contractors, financial institutions , and other critical suppliers. As an initial matter, we note that many sources subject to the standard should be able to meet the standards within three years, even those that need to install pollution control technologies to do so. In addition, many sources subject to the standards are gas fired units or small boilers (less than 10 MMBtu/hr) and will not need to install controls in order to demonstrate compliance . For these sources, the 3
- year compliance deadline is highly unlike ly to be problematic either in general, or with respect to the claims commenters have made about the possibility that the demand for resources related to control technology will exceed the supply. At the same time, the CAA allows title V permitting author ities to grant sources, on a case
-by
- case basis, extensions to the compliance time of up to one year if such time***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 28 of 375 is needed for the installation of controls. See CAA section 112(i)(3)(B). Permitting authorities are already familiar with, and in many cases have experience with, applying the 1
- year extension authority under section 112(i)(3)(B) since the provision applies to all NESHAP. See 40 CFR 63.6(i)(4)(A). We believe that should the range of circumstances that commenters have cited as impeding s ources’ ability to install controls within three years materialize, then it is reasonable for permitting authorities to take those circumstances into consideration when evaluating a source’s request for a 1
- year extension, and where such applications prove to be well
founded, it is also reasonable for permitting authorities to make the 1
- year extension available to applicants. In making a determination as to whether an extension is appropriate, we believe it is also reasonable for permitting authorities to consider the large number of pollution control retrofit projects being undertaken for purposes of complying either with the standards in this rule or with those of other rules such as MATS for the power sector that may be competing for similar resources. Further, commenters have pointed out that in some cases operators of existing sources that are subject to these standards and that generate energy may opt to meet the standards by terminating operations at these sources and building new***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 29 of 375 sources to replace the energy generation at the shut
- down sources. While the ultimate discretion to provide a 1
- year extension lies with the permitting authority, the EPA believes that i t is reasonable for permitting authorities to allow the fourth year extension for the installation of replacement sources of energy generation at the site of a facility applying for an extension for that purpose. Specifically, the EPA believes where an applicant demonstrates that it is building replacement sources of energy generation for purposes of meeting the requirements of these standards such a replacement project could be deemed to constitute the “installation of controls” under section 112(i )(3)(B). In a case where pollution controls are being installed or onsite replacement energy generation is being constructed to allow for retirement of older, under
- controlled energy generation units, a determination that an extra year is necessary for compliance should be relatively straightforward. In order to install controls, companies are likely to undertake a number of steps relatively soon after the effective date of the rule, including obtaining necessary building and environmental permits and hiri ng contractors to perform the construction of the emission controls or replacement energy generation units. This should provide sufficient information for a permitting authority to determine that emission controls are***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 30 of 375 being installed or that replacement energy generation is being constructed. As a result, a permitting authority will be in a position to make a determination as to whether a source’s compliance schedule will exceed 3 years and to quickly make a determination as to when an extension is appropri ate. In sum, the EPA believes that although most, if not all, units will be able to fully comply with the standards within 3 years, the fourth year that permitting authorities are allowed to grant for installation of controls is an important flexibility that will address situations where an extra year is necessary. Of course in situations where EPA is the permitting authority, we would also consider the above circumstances when acting on a permit application. **IV. Summary of Significant Changes Since Prop osal**  The EPA has made numerous changes in this final rule from the proposal after consideration of the public comments received. Most are changes to clarify applicability and implementation issues raised by the commenters. The public comments received on the proposed changes and the responses to them can be viewed in the memorandum “Response to Comments for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ” located in the docket. A. Applicability***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 31 of 375 Since proposal, the EPA has made certain changes to the applicability of this final rule. We have clarified that the exemption for boilers and process heaters used for research and development include s boilers used for testing the propulsi on systems on military vessels . This is consistent with the intent of the exemption in that these test boilers do not provide steam for heating, to a process, or other non
-propulsion related uses but are used exclusively to test the propulsion systems of

nuclear
-powered aircraft carriers that are undergoing repair, overhaul, or installation. B. Subcategories As described in the preamble to the proposed reconsideration rule, within the basic unit types of boilers and process heaters there are different designs and combustion systems that, while having a minor effect on fuel
- dependent HAP emissions, have a much larger effect on pollutants whose emissions depend on the combustion conditions in a boiler or process heater. In the case of boilers and process heaters, the combustion
- related pollutants are the organic HAP. In the proposed rule, we identified the following 1 7 subcategories for organic HAP: (1) Pulverized coal units; (2) stokers designed to burn coal; (3) fluidized bed units designed to burn coal; (4) stokers designed to burn wet biomass; (5) stokers designed to burn kiln
- dried biomass; ( 6 )fluidized bed units designed to burn***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 32 of 375 biomass; ( 7 ) suspension burners designed to burn biomass; ( 8 ) dutch ovens /pile burners designed to burn biomass; ( 9 ) fuel
ce lls designed to burn biomass; ( 10 ) hybrid suspension grate units designed to burn biomass; ( 11 )units designed to burn heavy liquid fuel; ( 12 ) units designed to burn light liquid fuel; ( 13 )
non - continental liquid units ; (14) units designed to burn natural gas/refinery gas; (1 5 ) units designed to burn other gases; (1 6 ) metal process furnaces ; and (17) limited
-use units. In this final rule, we are also adding a separate subcategory for fluidized bed units with a fluidized bed heat exchanger designed to burn coal and adjusted the definition of the limited use subcategory . Fluidized bed boilers are designed to combust fuel with relatively low heating value and high ash compared to other combustor designs. Two fuel properties of coal are heating values and ash content. As the heating value of the coal decreases, ash content increases. Fluidized bed boilers are designed to have large tube surface areas to transfer heat from the fuel through the process of conduction and convection , but in some cases the amount of tube surface area in the furnace for heat transfer is insufficient . In order to overcome insufficient heat exchange , certain fluidized bed boilers adopt a fluidized bed heat exchanger design to achieve heat transfer. The fluidized bed heat exchanger is located at the exit of the***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 33 of 375 cyclone section of the unit. This design allows the boiler to combust coal with a lower he ating value than a coal
- fired fluidized bed boiler without a fluidized bed heat exchanger. Therefore, because this boiler design does have different combustion
- related HAP emission characteristics, a new subcategory of coal fluidized bed with integrated he at exchanger was added to the final rule. The EPA is also revising the definition of the limited use subcategory. Many affected units operate on standby mode or low loads for periods longer than the proposed definition for limited use units, which limited operation to 876 hours per year. By converting to a capacity
- factor approach, we are allowing more flexibility on unit operations without increasing emissions or harm to human health and the environment. For example, units operating at 10 percent load for 8,760 hours per year would emit the same amount of emissions as units operating at full load for 876 hours per year. Further, it is technically infeasible to schedule stack test ing for these limited use units since these units serve as back up ene rgy sources and their operating schedules can be intermittent and unpredictable. The limited use subcategory was adjusted to be based on units with a federally enforceable operating limit of less than or equal to 10 percent of an average annual capacity fa ctor. C. Performance Test Requirements***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 34 of 375 Table 5 of this final rule has been revised to add performance test procedures for conducting performance stack test s for demonstrating compliance with the alternate TSM emission limits. In the reconsideration proposal, we proposed emissions limits for TSM (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, nickel and selenium) as an alternat ive to the proposed PM emission limits for many of the subcategories. In the preamble to the proposed rule , we added procedures in Table 6 of the rule for conducting fuel analysis for total selected metals but we inadvertently failed to add performance test requirements for stack sampling of TSM emissions in Table 5 of the rule. D. Emission Limits One significant change since propos al is related to the PM emission limits for the coal subcategories. Several petitioners disagreed with EPA’s position to set different PM limits for subcategories of boilers and process heaters based on the fuel

u sed, and instead offered information to support the position that PM should be considered a combustion
-based pollutant . The differences in PM particle size, fouling characteristics and feasib ility of certain control technologies on certain unit designs suggested that PM is more appropriately classified as a combustion
-based pollutant , but only for the coal subcategories . After assessing the points raised by the petitioners, the EPA***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 35 of 375 agreed that PM emissions are influenced by unit design , and fuel type, and proposed to create combustion
-based pollutant subcategories for coal and solid fuels and create fuel
-based subcategories for liquid and biomass fuel units . The EPA is finalizing a singl e PM limit for all coal/solid fossil fuel subcategories , and is also finalizing emissions limits based on PM as a combustion
-based pollutant for the biomass and liquid fuel subcategories. Another change from proposal is that the alternative TSM emission limits are now applicable to the three liquid fuel subcategories. Several commenters provided data and comments supporting the se alternative emission standards for non
-mercury metallic HAP. After assessing the revised data and the points made by the commenters , the EPA agrees that the limited data available for liquid fuel units are not unique to this subcategory . Based on the EPA agreeing with the commenters , the EPA re - calculated the TSM emission limits for the liquid fuel subcategories and included them in the final rule. The CO emission limit for several subcategories, both new and existing, have been revised to re flect a CO level that is consistent with MACT for organic HAP reduction. Several commenters recommended that the EPA evaluate a minimum CO standard (i.e., 100 ppm corrected to 7 percent oxygen) to serve as a lower bound surrogate for organic HAP. Commenters also***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 36 of 375 provided data and information to support such a standard, and noted that the EPA has taken a similar approach in other emission standards under section 112 . The EPA evaluated whether there is a minimum CO level for boilers and process heaters below which there is no further benefit in organic HAP reduction/destruction. Specifically, we evaluated the relationship between CO and formaldehyde using the available data obtained during the rul emaking. Formaldehyde was selected as the basis of the organic HAP comparison because it is the most prevalent organic HAP in the emission database and a large number of paired tests existed for boilers and process heaters for CO and formaldehyde. The paired data show decreasing formaldehyde emissions with decreasing CO emissions down to CO levels around 300 ppm, supporting the selection of CO as a surrogate for organic HAP emissions. A slight increase in formaldehyde emissions is observed at CO levels below around 200 ppm, suggesting a breakdown in the CO
- formaldehyde relationship at low CO levels. At levels lower than 150 ppm, the mean levels of formaldehyde appear to increase, as does the overall maximum value of and variability in formaldehyde emissions. However, we are aware of no reason why CO concentrations would continue to decrease and formaldehyde concentrations would increase as combustion conditions improve. It is possible that imprecise formaldehyde measurements at low concentrations (i.e., 1

– 2***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 37 of 375 ppm) may account for this slight increase in formaldehyde emissions observed at CO levels below 100 ppm corrected to 7 percent oxygen . Based on this , we do not believe that such measurements are sufficiently reliable to use as a basis for establ ishing an emissions limit. Therefore, based on the above analysis, we are promulgating a minimum MACT floor level for CO of 130 ppm corrected to 3 percent oxygen (which is equivalent to 100 ppm corrected to 7 percent oxygen ) . We note this is the same approach used to establish the CO emission limit of 100 ppm corrected to 7 percent oxygen for the Burning of Hazardous Waste in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces rule. Additional discussion of the rationale for this approach can be found in the memorandum "Revised MACT Floor Analysis (August 2012) for Industrial, Commercial, Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

– Major Source .” Subcategories where the initial MACT floor 99 percent UPL calculations for CO were less than 100 ppm corrected to 7 percent oxygen (or equivalently 130 ppm corrected to 3 percent oxygen ) are as follows:

 New and Existing Subcategories: Coal
- FB, Coal
- PC, Heavy Liquid, Light Liquid, Non
- Continental Liquid, Process Gas

 New Subcategories: Coal
- Stoker***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 38 of 375 We believe a CO level of 130 ppm corrected to 3 percent oxygen is an appropriate minimum MACT floor level. Although some measurements show CO levels below 130 ppm corrected to 3 percent oxygen , it is not appropriate to establish a lowe r floor level because CO is a conservative surrogate for organic HAP. In other words, organic HAP emissions are extremely low when sources operate under the good combustion conditions required to achieve CO levels in the range of zero to 100 ppm. As such, lowering the CO floor below 100 ppm will not provide reductions in organic HAP emissions. There are myriad factors that affect combustion efficiency and, as a function of combustion efficiency , CO emissions. As combustion conditions improve and hydrocarbon levels decrease, the larger and easier to combust compounds are oxidized to form smaller compounds that are, in turn, oxidized to form CO and water. As combustion continues, CO is then oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water. Because CO is a difficult to destroy refractory compound ( i.e. , oxidation of CO to carbon dioxide is the slowest and last step in the oxidation of hydrocarbons), it is a conservative surrogate for destruction of hydrocarbons, including organic HAP. The conservative nature of CO as an indicator of good combustion practices is supported by our data. At CO levels less than 100 ppm corrected to 7 percent oxygen , our data indicate that there is no apparent relationship between CO and organic***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 39 of 375 HAP (i.e., formaldehyde). For example, a source with a CO level of 20 ppm may have the same measured formaldehyde as a source achieving a CO emission level of 100 ppm corrected to 7 percent oxygen . Sources are required to establis h operating requirements based on operating levels that were demonstrated during the test. Sources must comply with these operating requirements on a continuous basis. Compliance with these requirements adequately
assures sources will be controlling organi c HAP emissions to MACT levels. As detailed in the docketed memorandum “ Beyond the Floor Technology Analysis for Major Source Boilers and Process Heaters (Revised August 2012 ) , ” we reviewed the emission limits that are becoming less stringent since the March 2011 final rule in order to assess whether a beyond the floor option was technically achievable and cost effective. As a result of this review, the PM emission limit s for several new biomass subcategories have been changed to reflect a beyond the floor limit of 0.03 lb/MMBtu, based on the limit for new biomass boilers in 40 CFR part 60 s ubpart s Db and Dc . Due to the low mercury emission limits for new solid fuel boilers, these new biomass units are expected to install a fabric filter level of control in order to meet the new source mercury limits for the solid fuel subcategory. This mercury control has the co
-benefit of reducing PM emissions down to levels of 0.03 lb/MMBtu so there is no***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 40 of 375 incremental cost to achieve these additional reductions in PM for the biomass units that have a design heat input capacity between 10 and 30 MMBtu/hr. For units with a design heat input capacity of 30 MMBtu/hr or greater, these units are already subject to a PM limit of 0.03 lb/MMBtu and adjusting these new source limits to this level of control makes the limits consistent between both rules, without adding additional costs. We did not identify any beyond the floor options for existing source PM limits or new and existing limits for other pollutants as technically feasible or cost effective. The other changes associated with the other emission limits are due to new data, corrections to old data, and inventory changes. In summary, compared to the December 23, 2011 proposed limits for existing units, the final HCl emission limits remained the same; for the final mercury emission limits, 3 are more stringent, 10 are less stringent and 1 i s unchanged; for the final PM emission limits, 3 are more stringent, 5 are less stringent and 6 are unchanged; and for the final CO emission limits, 3 are more stringent and 11 are less stringent. For new units, compared to the proposed emission limits, 3 of the final HCl emission limits are more stringent and 11 remained the same; for the final mercury emission limits, 10 are more stringent and 4 are unchanged; for the final PM emission limits, 5 are more stringent, 2 are less stringent and 7 are unchanged; and for the***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 41 of 375 final CO emission limits, 2 are more stringent, 11 are less stringent and 1 is unchanged. E. Work Practice Requirement In this final rule several changes have been made to the work practice requirement to conduct a tune
-up . First , the requirement to inspect the burner has been revised to allow

units that sell electricity to schedule the burner inspection , as well as the air
- to - fuel system inspection, at the time of the first outage but not to exceed 36 months from the previous inspection. This change is being made to this final rule because commenters stated that large boilers that serve electricity for sale may not require annual outages and would , therefore , need to be taken off
- line for the sole purpose of an annual tune
-up. This frequency is consistent with the requirements of the NESHAP for electric utility boilers (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUUU). Also, for units where entry into a piece of process equipment or into a storage vessel is required to complete the tune -up inspections, inspections are required only during planned entries into the storage vessel or into process equipment. Commenters indicated that some process heaters are installed inside tanks and entry into the tank to access the heater may not occur within a 5 year period. The requirement to optimize total emissions of CO has been revised to require that this optimization not only be consistent***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 42 of 375 with the manufacturer’s specifications but also with any NOx emission requirement to which the unit is subject . Some commenter s indicated that many boilers need different tune
-up criteria due to their requirement to also comply with low NOx emission limits. We are also aware that several s tates have boiler tune
-up requirements to minimize NOx emiss ions first and then optimize CO emissions. We have added boiler s or process heater s that have a continuous oxygen trim system to the types of boilers or process heaters that must conduct a tune
-up every 5 years . These units do not need to be tuned as frequently because the trim system is designed to continuously measure and maintain an optimum air to fuel ratio which is the purpose of a tune
-up. F. Averaging Times Definition s We revised the definitions of “ 30
- day rolling average” and

“ dail y block average” to exclude periods of startup and shutdown or downtime from the arithmetic mean. Commenters requested that the EPA specify how a 30
- day rolling average is calculated and whether it includes the previous 720 hours of valid operating data and that the valid data exclude hours during startup and shutdown as well as unit down time . We agree with the commenters that the definitions need clarification and that these periods should not be included in calculating the 30
- day rolling average. Therefore, we have revised the definitions accordingly.***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 43 of 375 We have also included in the final rule a definition of “10
- day rolling average” that is consistent with the revised definition of “30
- day rolling average.” G . Energy Assessment In this final rule, we have revised the definition of energy assessment per the requirements of Table 3 of this final rule by providing duration for performing the energy assessment for large fuel use facilities. In numbered paragraph (3) in the definition of " Energy assessment" in §63.7575 , which is for facilities with units having a combined heat input capacity greater than 1 TBtu/yr, we added time duration/size ratio and included a cap to the maximum number of on - site technical hours that should be used in the energy assessment . This addition of a duration for large fuel use facilities is being made to be consistent wi th durations specified for small [ paragraph ( 1 ) in the definition of " Energy assessment" ] and medium [ paragraph ( 2 ) in the definition of " Energy assessment" ] fuel use facilities. The energy assessment for facilities with affected boilers and process heater s having a combined heat input capacity greater than 1.0 TBtu / yr will be up to 24 on - site technical labor hours for the first TBtu/yr plus 8 technical labor hours for every additional 1.0 TBtu/yr not to exceed 160 technical hours, but may be longer at the discretion of the owner or operator.***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 44 of 375 The revised definition of energy assessment also clarifies
our intentions that the scope of assessment is based on energy use by discrete segments of a facility and not by a total aggregation of all individual energy using elements of a facility. The applicable discrete segments of a facility could vary significantly depending on the site and its complexity. We have added the following paragraph (4), to the energy as sessment definition to help resolve current problems in identifying the scope of the various energy use systems in a large industrial complex and allow for more streamlined assessments:

- site energy use systems serving as the basis for the percent of affected boiler(s) and process heater(s) energy output in (1), (2) and (3) above may be segmented by production area or energy use area as most logical and applicable to the specific facility being assessed (e.g., product X manufacturing area; product Y drying area; Building Z)." We have also revised paragraph 4 of Table 3 of the final rule to allow a source that is operating under an energy management program established through energy management systems compatible with ISO 50001, which includes the affected units, to satisfy the energy assessment requirement. We consider these energy management programs to be equivalent to the one
- time energy assessment because facilities having these programs***E.O. 12866 Review

These programs contain energy performance measurements and tracking plans with periodic reviews. The definition of “ Energy use system” has also been revised in this final rule to clarify that energy use systems are only those systems using energy clearly produced by affected boilers and process heaters. H . Startup and Shutdown Definitions A number of commenters indicated that the proposed load specifications (i.e., 25 percent load) within the definitions of “startup” and “shutdown” were inconsistent with either safe or normal (proper) operation of the various types of boilers and process heaters encountered within the source category. As the basis for defining periods of startup and shutdown, a number of commente rs suggested alternative load specifications based on the specific considerations of their boilers; other commenters suggested the achievement of various steady
- state conditions. We have reviewed these comments and believe adjustments are appropriate in the definition of “startup” and “shutdown.” These adjustments are tailored for industrial boilers and are consistent with the definitions of “startup” and “shutdown” contained in the 40 CFR part 63, subpart A General Provisions. We believe these revised definitions address the comments and***E.O. 12866 Review

The definitions of “startup” and “shutdown” have been revised in the final rule as follows:

“ Startup means either the first
- ever firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for the purpose of supplying steam or heat for heating and/or producing e lectricity, or for any other purpose, or the firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater after a shutdown event for any purpose. Startup ends when any of the steam or heat from the boiler or process heater is supplied for heating and/or producing electric ity, or for any other purpose. ”

“ Shutdown means the cessation of operation of a boiler or process heater for any purpose. Shutdown begins either when none of the steam and heat from the boiler or process heater is supplied for heating and/or producing el ectricity, or for any other purpose, or at the point of no fuel being fired in the boiler or process heater , whichever is earlier. Shutdown ends***E.O. 12866 Review

-based solids, heavy liquid fuel or gas 2 (other) gases in the boiler or process heater during startup or shutdown. It is the responsibility of the operators of affected boilers and process heaters to start their limestone injection in FBC boilers , dry scrubber, fabric filter, SNCR and SCR systems appropriately to comply with relevant standards applicable during normal operation. Startup ends and normal operating standards apply when heat or steam is supplied for any purpose . The EPA carefully considered fuels and potential operational constraints of APCD when designing its work practices for periods of startup and shutdown. The EPA notes that there is no technical barrier to burning clean fue ls (e.g., natural gas , distillate oil ) for longer portions of startup or shutdown periods at a boiler and the HAP emission reduction benefits warrant additional utilization of such fuels until the temperature and stack emissions pressure is sufficient to engage***E.O. 12866 Review

The EPA is aware that SNCR and SCR systems with ammonia injection need to be operated within a prescribed and relatively narrow temperature window to provide NOx reductions. Further, the EPA is aware that dry scrubbers also need to be operated close to flue gas saturation temperature , and that fabric filters need to be operated at temperatures above the acid dew point . Because these devices have specific temperature requirements for proper operation, the EPA notes in its work practices that it is the responsibility of the operators of affected boilers and process heaters to start their SNCR, SCR , fabric filter and dry scrubber systems appropriately to comply with relevant standards applicable during normal operation . I. Fuel Sampling Frequency The sampling frequency for gaseous fuel
- fired units that elected to demonstrate that the unit meets the specification for mercury for the unit designed to burn gas 1 subcategory has been revised in this final rule. If the initi al mercury constituents in the gaseous fuels are measured to be equal to or less than half of the mercury specification, no further sampling is required. If the initial mercury constituents are greater than half but equal to or less than 75 percent of the mercury specification, only semi

Affirmative Defense In the proposal, we used terms such as “exceedance” or “excess emissions” in §63.7501, which created unnecessary confusion as to when the affirmative defense could be used. In the final amended rule, we have eliminated those terms and used the word “violat ion” to make clear that the affirmative defense to civil penalties is available only where an event that causes a violation of the emissions standard meets the definition of malfunction under §63. 2 . We have also eliminated the 2
- day notification requirement that was included in 40 CFR 63.7501(b) at proposal because we expect to receive sufficient notification of malfunction events that result in violations in other required compliance reports, such as the malfunction report required under 40 CFR 63.7550(c). In addition, we have revised the 45
- day affirmative defense reporting requirement that was included in 40 CFR 63.7501(b) at proposal to require sources to include the report in the first compliance, devi ation or excess emission report due after the initial occurrence of the violation, unless the compliance, deviation or excess emission report is due less than 45 days after the violation. In that case, the affirmative defense report may be included in the second compliance, deviation or excess emission report due after the initial occurrence of the violation.

- evaluated the language concerning the use of off

Other**  **Actions We Are Taking** Section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA states that “[o]nly an objection to a rule or procedure which was raised with reasonable specificity during the period for public comment (including any public hearing) may be raised during judicial review. If the person raising an objection can demonstrate to the Administrator that it was impracticable to raise such objection within such time or if the grounds for such objection arose after the period for public comment (but within the time specified for judicial review) and if such objection is of central relevance to the outcome of the rule, the Administrator shall convene a proceeding for reconsideration of the rule and provide the same procedural rights as would have been afforded had the information been available at the time the rule was proposed.

The EPA is denying the petitions for reconsideration on a number of issues because this criterion has not been met. In many cases, the petitions reiterate comments made on the proposed June 2011 rule during the public comment period for that rule. On those issues, the EPA responded to those comments in the final rule and made appropriate revisions to the proposed rule after consideration of public comments received. It is well
- established that an agency may refine its proposed approach without providing an additional opportunity for public comment. See Community Nutrition Institute v. Block , 749 F.2d at 58 and International Fabricare Institute v. EPA , 972 F.2d 384, 399 (D.C. Cir. 1992) (notice and comment is not intended to resul t in “interminable back

revised. See Union Oil v. EPA , 821 F.2d 768, 683 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (court declined to remand rule because petitioners failed to show substantial likelihood that final rule would have been changed based on information in petition).

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 53 of 375 central relevance to the outcome of the rule. Therefore, the EPA is denying the petitions for reconsideration on the issues for the reasons described below. Issue: Delist gas units. The petitioners (API, NPRA) requested that the EPA remove gas - fired units from the section 112(c) list of source categories for which the EPA is required to establish emissions standards under section 112(d). The EPA is denying the petition for reconsideration for the following reasons. First, the issue is outside the scope of this rulemaking, which establishes emissions standards for new and existing units within the major source boilers and process heaters source category. The EPA did not solicit comment in the proposed rule regarding the scope of the subcategory. Further, petitioners provide no information to support delisting gas units under section 112(c)(9), which requires the EPA to make certain findings before delisting any
sources. In addition, the petition does not address the D.C. Circuit’s decision in NRDC v. EPA, 489 F.3d 1364 (2007), regarding the EPA’s ability to delist subcategories of a source category pursuant to section 112(c)(9). For these reason s , the petitions do not provide support for the argument that the regulation should be changed. For this reason, the petition does not demonstrate that the issue is of central relevance to the***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 54 of 375 outcome of the final rule and the EPA is denying the request fo r reconsideration. Issue: Exempt natural gas hot water heaters with tanks greater than 120 gallons. The petitioner (AIF) requested that the EPA exempt natural gas hot water heaters with tanks greater than 120 gallons. While the EPA disagrees with the petit ioner regarding whether such units should be subject to the emissions standards in this rule, the petitioner has not demonstrated that it lacked the opportunity to comment on whether such units should be required to meet emissions standards. The EPA propos ed work practice standards for such units in its June 2010 proposal , and the petitioner had the opportunity to comment on whether such standards should be applied to such units at all. Therefore, the EPA is denying the request for reconsideration. Issue: Exempt natural gas and distillate oil
- fired circulating hot water systems with a design capacity of 10 MMBtu/hr or less. The petitioner (CIBO) requested that the EPA exempt natural gas and distillate oil
- fired circulation hot water systems that are not greater than 10 MMBtu/hr. While the EPA disagrees with the petitioner regarding whether such units should be subject to the emissions standards in this rule, the petitioner has not demonstrated that it lacked the opportunity to comment on whether such units should be required to meet emissions***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 55 of 375 standards. The EPA proposed emissions standards for such units, and the petitioner had the opportunity to comment on whether such standards should be applied to such units at all. In addition, the petition does not provide any information to demonstrate that these units should be delisted pursuant to section 112(c)(9). Therefore, the EPA is denying the request for reconsideration. Issue: Confirm in definitions that open flame heaters (e.g., asphalt tank heaters) are not process heaters. The petitioners (API, NPRA) requested that the EPA clarify in the definition of “process heater” that open flame heaters do not meet the definition. While the EPA disagrees with the petitioners whether clarification is needed in regards to open flame heaters, the petitioners have not demonstrated that it lacked the opportunity to comment on the proposed definition. The definition that the EPA proposed clearly states that process heaters are enclosed devices in which the combustion gases do
not come into contact with process materials, and as such, does not include open flame heaters. Therefore, the EPA is denying reconsideration . Issue: For blast furnace fuel

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 56 of 375 The petitioner s (AISI, ACCCI) requested that the EPA revise the exempt ion for BFG fuel
- fired boiler s to exclude periods of BFG curtailment. While the EPA disagrees with the petitioner s regarding revising the exemption, the petitioner s have not demonstrated that it lacked the opportunity to comment on the proposed exemption for BFG fuel
- fired boiler s . The EPA proposed the exemption for these boilers, and petitioners therefore had the opportunity to comment on whether the exemption should apply to periods of BFG curtailment. Therefore, the EPA is denying the request for reconsideration. Issue: Exempt boilers whose flue gases are used in direct
- fired process heaters subject to other NESHAP. The pet itioner (CMI ) requested that the EPA exempt from the rule boilers whose flue gases are used in direct
- fired process heaters that are subject to other NESHAP. The final rule does not apply to such units if they are subject to another NESHAP . The EPA does not see a need for further clarification. Since the final rule does in fact exempt these units , the EPA is denying the request for reconsideration. Issue: Work practice standards do not meet EPA obligations under 112(c)(6). The petitioner (Sierra Club) requested that the EPA establish numeric emissions limits for Gas 1 units rather than work practice standards. Specifically, the petitioner alleges***E.O. 12866 Review

The EPA is denying the request for reconsideration on this issue. While the EPA disagrees with the petitioner’s arguments regarding the legal authority to establish work practice standards for Gas 1 units and the basis for such standards, the petitioner has not demonstrated that it lacked the opportunity to comment on this issue. The EPA proposed work practice standards for Gas 1 units and explained in the proposal its rationale for such standards, including the fact that a significant portion of the emissions data were below the detection level. 75 FR at 32024

Therefore, the EPA is denying recon sideration on this issue. Issue: Work practices for small units are not justified by 112(h) since small units were not given their own subcategory. The petitioner (Sierra Club) requested that the EPA require small units , those having a heat input capacity of less than 10 MMBtu/hr, to meet nume ric emissions limits rather than work practice standards.

Moreover, the EPA notes that nothing in section 112(h) limits the EPA’s discretion to establish work practice standards to the establishment of such standards for an entire category or subcategory. Therefore, the EPA is denying the request for reconsideration. Issue: PM is not an adequate surrogate for non
-mercury metallic HAP. The petitioner (Sierra Club) requested that the EPA remove the PM standard as a surrogate for non
-mercury metallic HAP and instead adopt a numeric limit for non
-mercury metallic HAP because PM is not an appropriate surrogate. The EPA is denying the request for reconsideration on this issue. While the EPA disagrees with the petitioner’s argument regarding the suitability of PM as a surrogate for non

Issue: Establish direct limits on organics or select a surrogate besides CO. The petitioner (Sierra Club) requested that the EPA remove the CO standard as a surrogate for organic HAP and instead adopt a numeric limit for these HAP, because CO is not an appropriate surrogate. The EPA is denying the request for reconsideration on this issue. While the EPA disagrees with the petitioner’s argument regarding the suitability of CO as a surrogate for
o rganic HAP, the petitioner has not demonstrated that it lacked the opportunity to comment on this issue. The EPA proposed CO standards as a surrogate for organic HAP and explained in the proposal the agency’s basis for concluding that CO was an appropriate surrogate. 75 FR at 32018. The EPA received comments on this issue, including comments stating that CO is not an appropriate surrogate for organic HAP. Therefore, the EPA is denying the request for reconsideration. Issue: Adopt an alternative THC emission standard. The petitioner (CIBO) requested that the EPA adopt a THC emissions standard as an alternative to the CO standard.

non - dioxin organic HAP, and explained why the use of CO as a surrogate was preferable. 75 FR at 32018. In addition, the EPA did not receive any comments or data during the public comment period on the proposed rule that would have enabled the agency to establish a THC alternative standard, including THC emissions data, nor did the petitioner provide any such data. Therefore, the petition does not provide substantial support for its argument that the final rule should be changed. For these reasons, the EPA is denying the petition for reconsideration on this issue. Issue: Regulation of Total dioxin/furans exceeds statutory authority as only 2 compounds are in 112(b)(1). The petitioner s (AISI, ACCCI, AF&PA) alleged that the EPA lacks statutory authority to regulate total dioxin/furans under CAA section 112, and that the EPA’s response in the final rule explaining why it is issuing a total dioxin/furan standard was not a logical outgrowth of the proposed rule. The EPA is denying the request for reconsiderat ion on this issue. First, the EPA disagrees that the final rule is not a logical outgrowth of the proposal.

Therefore, the commenter had the opportunity to provide its views during the public comment period regarding the EPA’s proposed emissions standard, including its views regarding the EPA’s authority to regulate the pollutant at issue. The fact that the EPA responded to those comments does not mean that the petitioner lacked the opportunity to comment

– in fact , the petitioner did provide such comments. 76 FR at 15640. For this reason, the EPA is denying the petition for reconsideration. Issue: HCl is an inadequate surrogate for all acid gases. The petitioner (Sierra Club) requested that the EPA remove the HCl standard as a surrogate for acid gases and instead adopt a numeric limit for these HAP, because HCl is not an appropriate surrogate. The EPA is denying the request for reconsideration on this issue. While the EPA disagrees with the petitioner’s argument regarding the suitability of HCl as a surrogate for acid gases, the petitioner has not demonstrated that it lacked the opportunity to comment on this issue. The EPA proposed HCl standards as a surrogate for acid gases and explained in the proposal the agency’s basis for concluding that HCl was an appropriate surrogate. 75 FR at 32018. While the EPA had emission data for HCl from hundreds of affected units upon which to establish standards, the EPA did not have sufficient data on the other acid gases to do so ( hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen cyanide and chlorine ). The petitioner did not refer to any such***E.O. 12866 Review

Therefore, the EPA is denying the request for reconsideration. Issue: Establish work practice for other organic HAP instead of using CO as a surrogate. The petitioner s (AMP, JELD
-WEN) requested that the EPA adopt a work practice standard for organic HAP rather than a numeric emissions limit based on CO as a surrogate for organic HAP. The EPA is denying the request for reconsideration on this issue. While the EPA disagrees that a work practice standard is appropr iate for such HAP for the subcategories for which the EPA adopted a numeric CO limit in the final rule, the petitioner s have not demonstrated that they lacked the opportunity to comment on this issue. The EPA proposed numeric CO limits rather than a work practice, and the petitioner s had the opportunity to provide their views during the public comment period on the proposed rule regarding why it believed a work practice standard should instead be finalized. Therefore, the EPA is denying the petition for reconsideration. Issue: Allow health based compliance alternatives for HCl, other acid gases and manganese. The petitioner s (AMP, AF&PA, AHFA, AISI, ACCCI, RPU, CIBO) requested that the EPA adopt a HBES for HCl and other acid gases as well as for manganese , pursuant to section 112(d)(4).

The EPA is denying the request for re consideration of this issue. The EPA did not propose a HBES for any pollutants, but did solicit public comment on such standards, explaining its concerns regarding health
-based standards, including the lack of available data on which to base such standards . 75 FR at 32030. The EPA received comments addressing those concerns and responded to them in the final rule. 76 FR at 15642.

Therefore, the petitions do not provide substantial support to demonstrate that the final rule should be changed. For these reasons , the EPA is denying the petition for reconsideration. Issue: Provide additional compliance alternatives according to Executive Order 13563 (additional subcategories and HBES ). The petitioner (AHFA) requested that the EPA provide additional comp liance alternatives in the final rule pursuant to Executive Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review), including HBES .

First, nothing in Executive Order 13563 affects the EPA’s discretion to establish HBES under the CAA . Additionally , the petition does not provide any information to address our concerns regarding HBES or data to establish such standards . Issue: Remove energy assessment requirements. The petitioners (AHFA, AISI, ACCCI, API, NPRA, AIF, CIBO, AF&PA, U.S. Sugar) requested that the EPA remove from the final rule the requirement that existing sources conduct an energy assessment. The EPA is denying the request for reconsiderat ion on this issue. The EPA proposed an energy assessment requirement as a beyond
- the
- floor standard, and petitioners commented on that proposal. The EPA addressed those comments in the final rule, and petitioners have not demonstrated that they lacked the opportunity to comment on whether the EPA should require an energy assessment, including the EPA’s legal authority to do so. 76 FR at 15631. There fore, the EPA is denying the petition for reconsideration. The EPA continues to believe that an energy
assessment is not only authorized by the CAA but required as a cost - effective beyond
- the
- floor standard in accordance with section 112 (d)(2). Issue: Require energy assessment to be conducted every 5 years. The petitioner ( Washington Dept. of E cology) requested that the EPA require more frequent energy assessments . The EPA***E.O. 12866 Review

Therefore, the EPA is denying the petition. Issue: Modify cost analysis to include potential fuel savings from implementing assessment findings. The petitioners (AIE, USCHPA) requested that the EPA modify its cost impacts analysis to include potential fuel savings from implementing energy assessment findings. The EPA is denying the petition. The impacts analysis, including specific mention of how cost savings for energy assessments were handled quantitatively, was explained in the proposal (see 75 FR 32026), and the petitione r therefore had the opportunity to comment on this issue. For this reason, the EPA is denying the petition for reconsideration on this issue. Issue: Reconsider definition of “cost effective.” The petitioner s (AIE, USCHPA) requested that the EPA reconsider the definition of “cost

Issue: Establish work practice for other organic HAP instead of using CO surrogate. The petitioners ( AMP, JELD-WEN ) requested that the EPA establish work practice standards for controlling organic HAP instead of using CO as a surrogate for organic HAP and establishing CO emission limits. The EPA is denying the request for reconsideration on this issue . Use of CO as a surrogate for organic HAP was subject to notice and comment. (75 FR 32018, 75 FR 32041).

Issue: New source emission limits are unachievable and the EPA should collect additional fuel variability data from top performing units to adjust the limits. The petitioner (AF&PA) requested that the EPA adjust the emissions limits for new sources by collecting additional data from the best performing units that they believed would result in increased variability. The petitioners have not demonstrated that they lacked the opportunity to comment. We proposed standards based on the data we had, including data collected during the ICR process in which petitioners participated, and that data were available for public review . Therefore, petitioners could have commented on this issue. Second, the CAA requires that we base the standards on the sources for which we have emissions information. Petitioners are always free to provide more information to us and the EPA specifically requested new data at each stage of the rulemaking to support the development of emis sion limits for each subcategory. (75 FR 32041, 76 FR 28663, 76 FR 80612). The EPA has incorporated revised data corrections or new data submittals in its analysis for the final rule.

The methods used to compute the MACT floors were subject to notice and comment. Where new data or data corrections have been submitted that might alter data distributions, identifying best performers or application of fuel variability factors , these changes have been made in the final rule, but the general methodology remains the
same. See Solite Corp. v. EPA , 952 F.2d 473, 485 (D.C.

non - detect data . The petitioner (Sierra Club) requested that the EPA not use the approach it used in the final rule based on the representative detection level (RDL) to establish MACT floors because it does not reflect actual emissions of any source within the subcategory. Further, the petitioner questioned the basis of the selected detection level, and whether or not other variability adjustments (e.g., UPL analysis) sufficiently account for measurement imprecision. The EPA is denying the petition. The three times representative detection level approach was subject to notice and comment. The EPA explained its rationale for this approach in the proposed rule (75 FR 32021) and responded to comments received in the final rule (76 FR 15623, 76 FR 80611). Issue: The approach used to set MACT floor limits for dioxin/furan emissions is flawed and the EPA should establish an isomer

Nationwide emissions of selected HAP (i.e., HCl, HF, mercury , metals, and VOC) will be reduced by 44,300 tpy. This is an incremental increase of 4,000 tpy in HAP reduction s compared to the estimates in the March 2011 final rule . This increase is due mainly to changes in the inventory (336 units were added since the March 2011 inventory ) . Excluding the changes in the inventory, the amendments to the regulatory provisions themselves resulted in a decrease of 1,100 tpy of estimated reductions , part of this incremental reduction in HAP is contributed to edits to the baseline emission data received since the March 2011 final rule, as well as changes to the subcategories and emission limits as a result of this amended rule . The amendments to the final rule are expected to result in an additional 4,600 tpy of reductions in HCl emissions . The amendments are also expected to have a modest effect on mercury, estimated to range from a slight decrease of 0.12 tpy up to a slight increase of 0.96 tpy in emission reductions as a result of the changes to the regulatory requirements .

The EPA estimated the additional water usage that would result from installing wet scrubbers to meet the amended emission limits for HCl would be 556 million gallons per year for existing sources compared to the current baseline . In addition to the increas ed water usage, an additional 160 million gallons per year of wastewater would be produced for existing
sources. Only half of these incremental changes are due to changes in the regulatory provisions . The other half is due to changes in the number of identified existing units and projected***E.O. 12866 Review

These additional costs are accounted for in the incremental control cost estimates. The EPA estimated the additional solid waste that would result due to the amendments to be 138 , 00 0 tpy , with nearly all due to changes in the regulatory provisions . Solid waste is generated from flyash and dust captured in PM and mercury controls as well as from spent carbon that is injected into exhaust streams or used to filter gas streams. The costs of handling the additional solid waste generated are $ 5.8 million. These costs are also accounted for in the incremental control costs estimates.

The EPA estimated that the March 2011 final rule would result in an increase of about 1.4 billion kWh /yr in national energy usage from the electricity required to operate control devices, such as wet scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators and fabric filters which are expected to be installed to meet the final rule. The amendments are expected to decrease energy usage***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 90 of 375 by a net 143 mil lion kWh/yr compared to the March 2011 rule . These reductions are driven by the regulatory provisions of these amendments. Additionally, the EPA expects these amendments will result in a decrease of 4.4 million MMBtu/yr in fuel savings, compared with the e stimates in the March 2011 final rule. D. What are the incremental cost impacts? For these final amendments, we estimated the incremental difference between the national costs impacts for the final amended rule and the March 2011 final rule. First, we determined the control measures, work practices , and monitoring and testing requirements that would be required by boilers and process heaters located at major source facilities to comply with the final amended rule . To estimate the national cost impacts of the final amended rule for existing sources, we used the identical methodology used to estimate the cost impacts for the March 2011 final rule with one exception . In this revised analysis, it was assumed that several liquid fuel units that reported natural gas firing capability would switch to natural gas as a compliance option instead of installing add
- on controls to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits. Thus, the only costs to these units would be the tune

The resulting total national cost impact of the final amended rule is $ 4.7 billion in capital expenditures and $ 1.5 billion per year in total annual costs , considering fuel savings . The total capital expenditures are slightly lower than estimated for the March 2011 final rule, but the total annual costs are slightly higher than estimated for the March 2011 final rule . See 76 FR 15651. The total capital and annual costs include costs for control devices, work practices, testing and monitoring. In order to determine the incremental cost impacts of the amended requirements and emission limits, we first estimated the cost impacts of the additional existing boilers and process heaters added to the Boiler MACT inventory database since promulgation of the March 2011 final rule and the revised number of new boilers and process heaters that could be potentially constructed. Since the March 2011 final rule, we became aware of 72 major source facilities that were not previously in the Boiler MACT inventory database. Adding the boilers and process heaters located at these newly identified major source facilities resulted in 73 additional coal

- fired units, 82 additional oil
- fired units,***E.O. 12866 Review

- fired units. Our revised number of new boilers and process heaters included 82 additional biomass units, 1,728 additional gas 1 units and 13 fewer liquid units. The resulting cost impact for these additional existing and new boilers and process heaters is $ 1.0 billion in capital expenditures and $ 0.31 billion per year in total annual costs , considering fuel savings . Therefore, discounting the added costs for the additional boilers and process heaters inc luded in the costs analysis, the estimated incremental cost impacts for these amended requirements on existing and new boilers and process heaters are $ 1.0 billion in capital expenditures and $ 0.13 billion per year in total annual costs les s than the costs estimated in the March 2011 rule . Table 4 of this preamble shows the total capital and annual cost impacts of the final amended rule for each subcategory. Costs include testing and monitoring costs, but not recordkeeping and reporting costs.

The EPA analyzed the economic impacts of this final amended rule using the methodology that was discussed in the March 2011 final rule RIA and in the preamble to the March 2011 final rule. See FR 76 15651. The market impact results are very similar to the results presented in the March 2011 final rule and the RIA. The agency's economic model suggests the average national price increases for industrial sectors are less than 0.01 percent, while average annual domestic production may fall by less than 0.01 percent. Because of higher domestic prices, imports slightly r ise. The results for sales tests for small businesses were somewhat reduced than those calculated for the March 2011 final rule . For the sales tests using small companies identified in the Combustion Survey, the mean cost to receipts dropped from 4***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 95 of 375 percent in the RIA to 3 percent for this final amended rule and the median was 0.2 percent for the RIA and also 0.2 percent for this final amended rule . The number of parent companies with sales tests exceeding 3 percent dropped from 8 in the RIA to 5 for this final amended rule. There was no change in the results for small public entities. Median cost is still about $1.1 million and representative small major public entities would have cost
- to - revenue ratios above 10 percent. The change in employment estimates between the RIA and the final amended rule is minimal. In the RIA for the March 2011 final rule, we estimated employment changes ranging between
- 3 , 100 to +6,500 employees, with a central estimate of +1,700. For this final amended rule we estimate employment changes ranging between
- 2,600 to + 5,4 00 employees, with a central estimate of +1, 4 00. These estimated annual employment changes compared to the baseline employment, and are for the time period for which the annualized cos t applies (2015 to 2029). F . What are the benefits of this final rule ? We calculated health benefits using the methodology described in the RIA prepared for the March 21, 2011 final rule. We incorporated the revised emission reductions estimated for this reconsideration final rule into the analysis. We were unable to estimate the benefits from reducing exposure to HAP and ozone, ecosystem impairment and visibility impairment,***E.O. 12866 Review

Please refer to the full description of the unquantified benefits as well as technical details of the analysis and its limitations and uncertainties in the final Boiler RIA (March 2011) . These monetized benefits are approximately 23 percent higher than the March 2011 final rule benefits due to the increase in SO2 emission reductions associated with the additional units affected by the ru le and the revised HCl limit. We estimate the total monetized benefits of this final regulatory action to be $27 billion to $6 7 billion at a 3 percent discount rate and $25 to $61 billion at a 7 percent discount rate. All estimates are for the implementati on year (2015) in 2008$ . A summary of the monetized benefits estimates at discount rates of 3 percent and 7 percent is provided in Table 7 of this preamble.

For units adding controls to meet the amended emission limits, we anticipate very minor secondary air impacts. The combustion of fuel needed to generate additional electricity would yield slight increases in emissions, including NOx, CO, PM and SO 2 and an increase in CO2 emissions. Since NOx and SO 2 are covered by capped emissions trading programs and methodological limitations prevent us from quantifying the change in CO and PM, we do not estimate an increase in secondary air impacts for this final rule from additional electricity demand. We do estimate greenhouse gas impacts, which result from in creased electricity consumption, to be 859,200 tpy from existing units and 79,700 tpy from new units. This is 19,200 tpy less than the estimated greenhouse gas impacts associated with the March 2011 final rule. **VII . Statutory and Executive Order R** **eviews** A.

Accordingly, the EPA submitted this action to the OMB for review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011) and any changes made in response to the OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket for this action. Because this action is finalizing changes to a rule and does not increase costs by an amount that would qualify the final rule, by itself, as a major rule, the EPA did not prepare a new RIA for this action. In stead , the EPA prepared an assessment of the changes in the costs and benefits of this final rule compared to the costs and benefits associated with the March 21, 2011, final rule. Overall, the costs and impacts are estimated to be similar to the costs and impacts associated with the previous final rule, although the distribution is somewhat different and the number of affected units in the inventory has increased by about 302 units. When comparing the costs using only those sources that were part of the final rule inventory, the costs have decreased. The EPA re
- ran the multimarket model to assess changes in economic impacts, and this analysis confirmed that the overall economic impacts are similar to the previous final rule. The benefits are projected to increase by about 20 percent because of the increase in the***E.O. 12866 Review

-benefits reflect the human health benefits associated with reducing exposure to PM2.5 through reductions of PM2.5 precursors such as directly emitted particles, SO2 , and NOx and reducing exposure to ozone through reductions of VOC. It is important to note that the monetized benefits include many but not all health effects associated with PM2.5 exposure. Monetized benefits are shown as a range from Pope et al. (2002) to Laden et al. (2006). These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because the scientif ic evidence is not yet sufficient to support the development of differential effects estimates by particle type. These estimates include the energy disbenefits valued at $24 million (using the 3 percent discount rate), which do not change the rounded total s. CO2 - related disbenefits were calculated using the “social cost of carbon”, which is discussed further in the RIA. 3 The methodology used to estimate social costs for one year in the multimarket model using surplus changes results in the same social cost s for both discount rates. B. Paperwork Reduction Act The OMB has approved the information collection requirements contained in the March 21, 2011 final rule under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act , 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq . and has assigned OMB control number 2060
- 0551. The EPA has updated the supporting statement to reflect the final inventory and burden estimates associated with this action since some of the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements have changed since the March 21, 2011 final rule. These revised estimates have been sent to OMB for review and approval. The information requirements are based on notification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the NESHAP General***E.O. 12866 Review

These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7414). All information submitted to the EPA pursuant to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. This final rule will require maintenance inspections of the control devices but will not require any notifications or reports beyond those required by the General Provisions aside from a notification of intent to commence burning solid waste materials and notification of alternative fuel use for those units that are in the Gas 1 subcategory but burn liquid fuels for periodic testing, or during periods of gas curtailment or gas supply emergencies. The recordkeeping requirements require only the specific information needed to determine compliance. The revised annual monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection (averaged over the first 3 years after the effective date of the standards) is estimated to be $9 5 . 3 million which is about the same as estimated for the March 2011 final rule . This includes 32 3 , 130 labor hours per year at a total labor cost of $ 30. 6 million per year, and total non

This final rule is closely related to the final major
source rule , which the EPA signed on February 21, 2011 . The EPA prepared a final regulatory flexibility analyses in connection with the major source rul e . Therefore, pursuant to §605(c), the EPA is not required to complete a final regulatory flexibility analysis for this rule. The EPA has been concerned with potential small entity impacts since it began developing the major source rule. The EPA conducted outreach to small entities and , pursuant to § 609 of

1 Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental j urisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of today’s rule on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) a small business according to Small Business Administration (SBA) size standards by the North American Industry Classification System cat egory of the owning entity. The range of small business size standards for the affected industries ranges from 500 to 1,000 employees, except for petroleum refining and electric utilities. In these latter two industries, the size standard is 1,500 employee s and a mass throughput of 75,000 barrels/day or less, and 4 million kilowatt
-hours of production or less, respectively; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a populati on of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not

Convening an additional Panel and preparing an additional final regulatory flexibility analysis would be procedurally duplicative and is unnecessary given that the issues here are within the scope of those considered by the Panel. In addition, this final action would decrease capital and annualized costs on small entities by about 3 percent and 10 percent, respectively, re lative to the closely related final rule. D.

s tate, local and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector in any one year. Accordingly, the EPA prepared under section 202 of the UMRA a written statement for the final rule. This final rule also contains a federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more for s tate, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector in any one ye ar. The discussion below has been updated to reflect the changes . 1. Statutory Authority As discussed in section I of this preamble, the statutory authority for this final rulemaking is section 112 of the CAA. Title III of the CAA Amendments was enacted t o reduce nationwide air toxic emissions. Section 112(b) of the CAA lists the 188 chemicals, compounds, or groups of chemicals deemed by Congress to be HAP. These toxic air pollutants are to be regulated by NESHAP. Section 112(d) of the CAA directs us to develop NESHAP which require existing and new major sources to control emissions of HAP using MACT based standards. This NESHAP applies***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 107 of 375 to all boilers and process heaters located at major sources of HAP emissions. 2. Social Costs and Benefits The regulatory impact analysis prepared for the March 21, 2011 final rule, which we have not revised for this final rule , including the agency’s assessment of costs and benefits, is detailed in the “Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Final Industrial Boilers and Process Heaters MACT (2011) ” in the docket. Based on estimated compliance costs associated with this final rule and the predicted change in prices and production in the affected industries, the estimated social costs of this proposed rule are $ 1.8 to 2.0 billion (2008 dollars). It is estimated that 3 years after implementation of this final rule, HAP would be reduced by 45,000 tpy , including reductions in HCl , hydrogen fluoride, metallic HAP including mercury , and several other organ ic HAP from boilers and process heaters. Studies have determined a relationship between exposure to these HAP and the onset of cancer, however, the agency is unable to provide a monetized estimate of the HAP benefits at this time. In addition, there are si gnificant annual reductions in fine particulate matter ( PM2.5 ) and in SO2 that would occur, including 25 thousand tons of PM2.5 and 558 thousand tons of SO2 . These reductions occur within 3 years after the implementation***E.O. 12866 Review

– Draft

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 108 of 375 of the final regulation and are expected to continue throughout the life of the affected sources. The major health effect associated with reducing PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors (such as SO2 ) are a reduction in premature mortality. Other health effects associated with PM2.5 emission reductions include avoiding cases of chronic bronchitis, heart attacks, asthma attacks and work
lost days (i.e., days when employees are unable to work). While we are unable to monetize the benefits associated with the HAP emissions reductions, we are able to monetiz e the benefits associated with the PM2.5 and SO2 emissions reductions. For SO2 and PM2.5 , we estimated the benefits associated with health effects of PM but were unable to quantify all categories of benefits (particularly those associated with ecosystem and visibility effects). Our estimates of the monetized benefits in 201 5 associated with the implementation of the final regulatory action range from $ 27 billion (2008 dollars) to $67 billion (2008 dollars) when using a 3 percent discount rate (or from $ 25 billion (2008 dollars) to $ 61 billion (2008 dollars) when using a 7 percent discount rate). This estimate, at a 3 percent discount rate, is about $25 billion (2008 dollars) to $ 65 billion (2008 dollars) higher than the estimated social costs shown earlier in this section. The general approach used to value benefits is discussed in more detail earlier in this***E.O. 12866 Review

For more detailed information on the benefits estimated for the rulemaking, refer to the RIA and the memos updating the impacts and benefits in the docket. 3. Future and Disproportionate Costs . The UMRA requires that we estimate, where accurate estimation is reasonably feasible, future compliance costs imposed by this final rule and any disproportionate budgetary effects. Our estimates of the future compliance costs of the rule are discussed previously in this preamble. We do not believe that there will be any disproportionate budgetary effects of this final rule on any particular areas of the country, s tate or local governments, types of communities (e.g., urban, rural) or particular industry segments. See the results of the “Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Final Industrial Boilers and Process Heaters MACT (2011). ” 4. Effects on the National Economy . The UMRA requires that we estimate the ef fect of this final rule on the national economy. To the extent feasible, we must estimate the effect on productivity, economic growth, full employment, creation of productive jobs and international competitiveness of the U.S. goods and services, if we dete rmine that accurate estimates are reasonably feasible and that such effect is relevant and material.***E.O. 12866 Review

This analysis provides estimates of the effect of this rule on some of the categories mentioned above. The results of the economic impact analysis are summarized previously in this preamble. The results show that there will be a small impact on prices and output, and little impact on communities that may be affected by this final rule. In addition, there should be little impact on energy markets (in this case, coal, natural gas, petroleum products and electricity). Hence, the potential impacts on the categories mentioned above should be small. 5. Consultation with Government Officials . The UMRA requires that we describe the extent of the
agency’s prior consultation with affected s tate, local and tribal officials, summarize the officials’ comments or concerns, and summarize our response to those comments or concerns. In addition, section 203 of the UMRA requires that we develop a plan for informing and advising small governments that may be***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 111 of 375 sign ificantly or uniquely impacted by a final rule . We consulted with s tate and local air pollution control officials during the development of the final rule . We have also held meetings on this final rule with many of the stakeholders from numerous individual companies, institutions, environmental groups, consultants and vendors, labor unions and other interested parties. We have added materials to the docket to document these meetings. Consistent with section 205 , the EPA has identified and considered a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives. Additional information on the costs and environmental impacts of these regulatory alternatives is presented in the docket. The regulatory alternative upon which the emission limits in this final rule are based repre sents the MACT floor s for all subcategories and , as a result, it is the least costly and least burdensome alternative. This rule is not subject to the requirements of section 203 of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments . While some small governments may have some sources affected by this final rule, the impacts are not expected to be significant. Therefore, this final rule is not subject to the requirements of section 203 of the UMRA. E. Executive Order 13132 : Federalism***E.O. 12866 Review

on the relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the federal government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 1317 5 . 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 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying to those regu latory actions that concern health or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5
- 501 of the Order has the potential to influence***E.O. 12866 Review

Executive Order 13211 : Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not a “significant energy action” as defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 2 8355, May 22, 2001), because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. For the March 21, 2011, final rule, we estimated a 0.05 percent price increase for the energy sector and a
- 0.02 percent percentage change in production. We estimated a 0.09 percent increase in energy imports. For more information on the estimated energy effects, please refer to the “Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Final Industrial Boilers and Process Heaters MACT (2011). ” The analysis is available in the public docket. While we did not recreate the RIA for this final action, the energy impacts for existing sources decreased slightly, and the energy impacts for new source increased due to the increased number of new sources that is now projected. Overall, the projected energy use increased slightly but would not change the analysis that was conducted for the previous final rule. Therefore, we conclude that this final rule when implemented is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy.***E.O. 12866 Review

- 113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to use VCS in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. VCS are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by VCS bodies. NTTAA directs the EPA to provide Congress, through the OMB, explanations when the agency decides not to use available and applicable VCS . This action does not involve any new technical standards from those contained in the March 21, 2011 final rule . Therefore, the EPA did not consider the use of any VCS . See 76 FR 15660

- Income Populations Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice . Its main provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mis sion by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 115 of 375 environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low
- income populations in the United States. For the March 2011 final rule, the EPA determined that the rule would not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low
- income populations because it increases the level of environmental protection for all affected populations without having any disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on any population, including any minority or low
- income population. Compared to the previous final rule, while the amendments are somewhat less stringent for some subcategories of units and more stringent for some others, the overall increased health benefits demonstrate that the conclusions from the environmental justice analysis conducted for the previous final rule are still valid. Therefore, the EPA ha s determined this final rule will not have disproportionately high and adverse human or environmental effects on minority or low
- income populations. K. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report,***E.O. 12866 Review

– Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 116 of 375 which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller Gene ral of the United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register . A Major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register . This action is a reconsideration of a previous action that was a major rule under the Congressional Review Act. However, today's action makes only
certain limited revisions to the March 2011 rule and those revisions do not qualify as a major rule under the Congressional Review Act. Therefore, this action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This rule will be effective [ **INSERT DATE OF PUB** **LICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER**]. **List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 63** Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure, Air pollution control, Hazardous substances, Incorporation by reference, Intergovernmental relations, Reporting and Recordkeeping requirements.
