SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On February 3, 2012, the San Joaquin 

Valley Air Pollution Control District 

(SJVAPCD) submitted an application 

entitled ‘‘San Joaquin Valley Air 

Pollution Control District Title V 

Electronic Reporting System’’ for 

revision of its EPA-authorized 

authorized Part 70 program under title 

40 CFR. EPA reviewed SJVAPCD’s 

request to revise its EPA-authorized Part 

70—State Operating Permit Programs 

program and, based on this review, EPA 

determined that the application met the 

standards for approval of authorized 

program revision set out in 40 CFR part 

3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 

3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision 

to approve the District’s request to 

revise its Part 70—State Operating 

Permit Programs program to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 

70 is being published in the Federal 

Register. 

SJVAPCD was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.

1267). Between June 14, 2012 and June 

18, 2012, Petitioners filed petitions for 

review of EPA’s final rule entitled 

‘‘National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Polyvinyl 

Chloride and Copolymers Production,’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

The proposed settlement agreement 

will partially resolve lawsuits seeking 

review of EPA’s final rule entitled 

‘‘National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Polyvinyl 

Chloride and Copolymers Production,’’ 

77 FR 22848, April 17, 2012, (‘‘PVC 

NESHAP’’ or ‘‘2012 Rule). On June 18, 

2012, Petitioner Vinyl Institute and 

others petitioned for reconsideration 

and to stay the 2012 Rule pending 

reconsideration with EPA, and on 

September 28, 2012, EPA granted 

administrative reconsideration of the 

2012 Rule on at least Petitioners’ claims 

that the public was not afforded a 

reasonable opportunity to comment on 

emission limits in the final 2012 Rule 

for process wastewater. The proposed 

settlement agreement states that no later 

than January 21, 2015, EPA will sign a 

direct final rule and parallel proposal 

withdrawing the total non-vinyl 

chloride organic hazardous air pollutant 

(‘‘TOHAP’’) process wastewater 

emission limits for new and existing 

area sources. The proposed settlement 

agreement provides that to the extent 

that EPA establishes new TOHAP 

process wastewater emission limits for 

existing and new area sources, those 

emission limits will be set pursuant to 

the reconsideration process or other 

separate rulemaking, and not through 

the direct final or final rule described in 

the settlement agreement. Under the 

proposed settlement agreement, if EPA 

receives adverse comments on and 

withdraws the direct final rule, EPA 

will make its best efforts to sign a notice 

taking final action on the parallel 

proposal within 15 days of the close of 

the comment period. In addition, the 

proposed settlement agreement states 

that Oxy Vinyls, LP will move to 

dismiss its petition for review, and the 

remaining Petitioners will move to 

dismiss the issue of the existing and 

new area source TOHAP process 

wastewater emission limits from their 

petitions for review within 7 days 

following the effective date of the direct 

final rule or a final rule withdrawing the 

existing and new area source TOHAP 

process wastewater limits. Nothing in 

the proposed settlement agreement 

limits or modifies EPA’s discretion 

under the Clean Air Act in either the 

related direct final rulemaking process 

or otherwise. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

settlement agreement from persons who 

were not named as parties or 

intervenors to the litigation in question. 

EPA or the Department of Justice may 

withdraw or withhold consent to the 

proposed settlement agreement if the 

comments disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or 

the Department of Justice determines 

that consent to this settlement 

agreement should be withdrawn, the 

terms of the agreement will be affirmed.
