result in a reduction in emissions 

equivalent to or better than the amount 

achieved by the VOC standards set forth 

in 40 CFR 60.112b of NSPS subpart Kb. 

Rohm and Haas, therefore, asks that the 

EPA approve this AMEL request. 

III. AMEL for the Rohm and Haas 

Chemicals LLC Facility 

Based upon our review of the AMEL 

request, we believe that, by complying 

with the operating conditions specified 

below, the proposed new tank at Dow’s 

Rohm and Haas Chemicals LLC facility 

will achieve emission reductions at least 

equivalent to reduction in emissions 

required by NSPS subpart Kb, 40 CFR 

60.112b. We are seeking the public’s 

input on this request. Specifically, the 

EPA seeks the public’s input on the 

conditions specified in this document in 

the following paragraphs. 

(1) No PRD on the storage tank, or on 

the railcar or tank truck, shall open 

during loading or as a result of diurnal 

temperature changes (breathing losses). 

(2) Both PRDs on the storage tank 

must be set to release at no less than 9 

psig at all times. Any release from a PRD 

as indicated by pressure reading greater 

than 9 psig is an excess emissions event. 

To demonstrate that the PRD does not 

open, the tank vapor space pressure and 

the space between the rupture disk and 

PRD will be continuously monitored for 

pressure and recorded. If a release 

occurs, the tank must follow 40 CFR 

63.165(d)(2). 

(3) Each of the PRDs and components 

of the vapor collection system on the 

tank must be monitored on a quarterly 

basis, using EPA Method 21. An 

instrument reading of 500 parts per 

million by volume or greater is an 

excess emissions event. 

(4) VAM must be transferred from 

either railcars or truck trailers via 

welded steel piping into the new bulk 

storage tank. The tank must be equipped 

with a welded steel vapor balance line 

that returns displaced vinyl acetate 

vapors from the headspace within the 

tank to the railcar or tank truck during 

tank filling operations. The vapor 

balance line must be hard piped from 

the tank, crossing a pipe bridge, before 

terminating at the off-loading station. 

The tank vapor balance line must not 

contain any PRDs or release points. 

Displaced vapors must be transferred to 

a vapor return fitting on the offloading 

bulk vehicle through a hose from the 

offloading station. Both the transfer 

hoses and the vapor balance return line 

must incorporate dry-disconnect fittings 

to prevent vapor discharge to the 

atmosphere when the line is not 

connected. Tank trucks and railcars 

must have a current certification in 

accordance with the DOT pressure test 

requirements of 49 CFR part 180 for 

tank trucks and 49 CFR 173.31 for 

railcars. Railcars, tank trucks, or barges 

that deliver VAM to a storage tank must 

be reloaded or cleaned at a facility that 

utilizes the control techniques specified 

in paragraph (4)(a) or (b). 

(a) The railcar, tank truck, or barge 

must be connected to a closed-vent 

system with a control device that 

reduces inlet emissions of VAM by 95 

percent by weight or greater. 

(b) A vapor balancing system 

designed and operated to collect organic 

VAM vapor displaced from the tank 

truck or railcar during reloading must be 

used to route the collected HAP vapor 

to the storage tank from which the 

liquid being transferred originated. 

(5) Rohm and Haas must submit to the 

Administrator a written certification 

that the reloading or cleaning facility 

meets the requirements of paragraph 4; 

and the requirements for closed vent 

system and control device specified at 

40 CFR 63.119 through 63.123. The 

notification and reporting requirements 

at 40 CFR 63.122 do not apply to the 

owner or operator of the offsite cleaning 

or reloading facility. 

(6) Recordkeeping requirements. 

(a) The facility must keep a record of 

the equipment to be used and the 

procedures to be followed when 

reloading the railcar, tank truck, or 

barge and displacing vapors to the 

storage tank from which the liquid 

originates, as well as a record of all 

components of the PRDs, including 

PRVs and rupture disks. 

(b) Records must be kept as long as 

the storage vessel is in operation. 

(7) Reporting requirements. The 

facility must submit excess emissions 

and monitoring systems performance 

reports to the Administrator 

semiannually. All reports must be 

postmarked by the 30th day following 

the end of each 6-month period. Written 

reports of excess emissions must 

include the following information: 

(a) The date and time of 

commencement and completion of each 

time period of excess emissions. The 

process operating time during the 

reporting period. 

(b) The date and time identifying each 

period during which the continuous 

monitoring system was inoperative 

except for zero and span checks and the 

nature of the system repairs or 

adjustments. 

(c) The report must include a list of 

the affected sources or equipment, an 

estimate of the volume of VAM emitted, 

and a description of the method used to 

estimate the emissions. 

(d) When the continuous pressure 

monitoring systems have not been 

inoperative, repaired, or adjusted, such 

information shall be stated in the report. 

IV. Request for Comments 

We solicit comments on all aspects of 

Rohm and Haas’s requests for approval 

of an AMEL for these new requirements 

to be used to comply with the 

applicable standards. We specifically 

seek comment regarding whether or not 

the operating requirements listed in 

section III above will achieve emission 

reductions at least equivalent to 

emissions being controlled by 

complying with the applicable 

requirements in the 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart Kb, Standards of Performance 

for Volatile Organic Liquid Storage 

Vessels requirements in 40 CFR 

60.112b.

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

This document lists the statements of 

findings made by EPA after review of 

notices submitted under TSCA section 

5(a) that certain new chemical 

substances or significant new uses are 

not likely to present an unreasonable 

risk of injury to health or the 

environment. This document presents 

statements of findings made by EPA 

during the period from September 1, 

2019 to December 31, 2019. 

III. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to 

review a TSCA section 5(a) notice and 

make one of the following specific 

findings: 

Æ The chemical substance or 

significant new use presents an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment; 

Æ The information available to EPA is 

insufficient to permit a reasoned 

evaluation of the health and 

environmental effects of the chemical 

substance or significant new use; 

Æ The information available to EPA is 

insufficient to permit a reasoned 

evaluation of the health and 

environmental effects and the chemical 

substance or significant new use may 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment; 

Æ The chemical substance is or will 

be produced in substantial quantities, 

and such substance either enters or may 

reasonably be anticipated to enter the 

environment in substantial quantities or 

there is or may be significant or 

substantial human exposure to the 

substance; or 

Æ The chemical substance or 

significant new use is not likely to 

present an unreasonable risk of injury to 

health or the environment. 

Unreasonable risk findings must be 

made without consideration of costs or 

other non-risk factors, including an 

unreasonable risk to a potentially 

exposed or susceptible subpopulation 

identified as relevant under the 

conditions of use. The term ‘‘conditions 

of use’’ is defined in TSCA section 3 to 

mean ‘‘the circumstances, as determined 

by the Administrator, under which a 

chemical substance is intended, known, 

or reasonably foreseen to be 

manufactured, processed, distributed in 

commerce, used, or disposed of.’’ 

EPA is required under TSCA section 

5(g) to publish in the Federal Register 

a statement of its findings after its 

review of a TSCA section 5(a) notice 

when EPA makes a finding that a new 

chemical substance or significant new 

use is not likely to present an 

unreasonable risk of injury to health or 

the environment. Such statements apply 

to PMNs, MCANs, and SNUNs 

submitted to EPA under TSCA section 

5. 

Anyone who plans to manufacture 

(which includes import) a new chemical 

substance for a non-exempt commercial 

purpose and any manufacturer or 

processor wishing to engage in a use of 

a chemical substance designated by EPA 

as a significant new use must submit a 

notice to EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing manufacture of the new 

chemical substance or before engaging 

in the significant new use. 

The submitter of a notice to EPA for 

which EPA has made a finding of ‘‘not 

likely to present an unreasonable risk of 

injury to health or the environment’’ 

may commence manufacture of the 

chemical substance or manufacture or 

processing for the significant new use 

notwithstanding any remaining portion 

of the applicable review period.

Recent Postings of Broadly Applicable 

Alternative Test Methods 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

broadly applicable alternative test 

method approval decisions that the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

made under and in support of New 

Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 

and the National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

between January 1, 2020, and December 

31, 2020. This notice also announces the 

removal of a previously approved 

broadly applicable alternative test 

method. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: An 

electronic copy of each alternative test 

method approval document is available 

at https://www.epa.gov/emc/broadlyapplicable-approved-alternative-testmethods. For questions about this 

notice, contact Mrs. Lula H. Melton, Air 

Quality Assessment Division, Office of 

Air Quality Planning and Standards 

(E143–02), Environmental Protection 

Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC 

27711; telephone number: (919) 541– 

2910; fax number: (919) 541–0516; 

email address: melton.lula@epa.gov. For 

technical questions about individual 

alternative test method decisions, refer 

to the contact person identified in the 

individual approval document(s). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this notice apply to me? 

This notice will be of interest to 

entities regulated under 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 59, 60, 

61, 63 and 65; state, local, and tribal 

agencies; and the EPA Regional offices 

responsible for implementation and 

enforcement of regulations under 40 

CFR parts 59, 60, 61, 63, and 65. 

B. How can I get copies of this 

information? 

You may access copies of the broadly 

applicable alternative test method 

approval documents at https://

www.epa.gov/emc/broadly-applicableapproved-alternative-test-methods. 

II. Background 

This notice identifies broadly 

applicable alternative test methods that 

the EPA approved in 2020 under the 

New Source Performance Standards 

(NSPS), 40 CFR part 60, and the 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

programs, 40 CFR parts 61 and 63. See 

Table 1 of this notice for the summary 

of these test methods. Source owners 

and operators may voluntarily use these 

broadly applicable alternative test 

methods in lieu of otherwise required 

test methods or related testing 

procedures. Use of these broadly 

applicable alternative test methods are 

not intended to and should not change 

the applicable emission standards. This 

notice also announces the removal of 

ALT–109 as an approved broadly 

applicable alternative test method given 

our subsequent revisions to certain 

requirements in Method 22. 83 FR 

56713 (November 14, 2018). 

The Administrator has the authority 

to approve the use of alternative test 

methods for compliance with 

requirements under 40 CFR parts 60, 61, 

and 63. This authority is found in 40 

CFR 60.8(b)(3), 61.13(h)(1)(ii), and 

63.7(e)(2)(ii). Additional and similar 

authority can be found in 40 CFR 

59.104(f) and 65.158(a)(2). The criteria 

for approval and procedures for 

submission and review of broadly 

applicable alternative test methods are 

explained in a previous Federal 

Register notice published at 72 FR 4257 

(January 30, 2007) and located at 

https://www.epa.gov/emc/broadlyapplicable-approved-alternative-testmethods. As explained in this notice, 

we will announce approvals for broadly 

applicable alternative test methods at 

https://www.epa.gov/emc/broadlyapplicable-approved-alternative-testmethods as they are issued and publish 

an annual notice that summarizes 

approvals for broadly applicable 

alternative test methods during the 

preceding year. 

As also explained in the January 30, 

2007 notice, our approval decisions 

involve thorough technical reviews of 

numerous source-specific requests for 

alternatives and modifications to test 

methods and procedures. Based on 

these reviews, we have often found that 

these modifications or alternatives 

would be equally valid and appropriate 

to apply to other sources within a 

particular class, category, or 

subcategory. Consequently, we have 

concluded that where a method 

modification or an alternative method is 

clearly broadly applicable to a class, 

category, or subcategory of sources, it is 

both equitable and efficient to 

simultaneously approve its use for all 

appropriate sources and situations. 

Use of approved alternative test 

methods are not mandatory but rather 

permissive. Sources are not required to 

employ such a method but may choose 

to do so in appropriate circumstances. 

As specified in 40 CFR 63.7(f)(5), 

however, a source owner or operator 

electing to use an alternative method for 

40 CFR part 63 standards must continue 

to use the alternative method until 

otherwise authorized. Source owners or 

operators should, therefore, review the 

specific broadly applicable alternative 

method approval decision at https://

www.epa.gov/emc/broadly-applicableapproved-alternative-test-methods
