was to complete sales and distribution 

by March 2016, EPA anticipates that the 

registrant will not need an existing 

stocks provision. Persons other than the 

registrant will generally be allowed to 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks 

until such stocks are exhausted, 

provided that such sale, distribution, or 

use is consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the cancelled product. 

4. For product 67690–40, the 

registrant requested an existing stocks 

provision to sell and distribute product 

until December 31, 2016, and as of that 

date will no longer have any current 

stock. Therefore, EPA anticipates 

allowing the registrant to sell and 

distribute existing stocks of the product 

through December 31, 2016. Thereafter, 

the registrant will be prohibited from 

selling and distributing the product, 

except for export consistent with FIFRA 

section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper 

disposal. Persons other than the 

registrant will generally be allowed to 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks 

until such stocks are exhausted, 

provided that such sale, distribution, or 

use is consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the cancelled product. 

5. For the product 89459–27, once 

EPA has approved the product label 

reflecting the requested amendments to 

delete specific uses, the registrant will 

be permitted to sell or distribute the 

product under the previously approved 

labeling for a period of 18 months after 

the date of Federal Register publication 

of the cancellation order, unless other 

restrictions have been imposed. 

Thereafter, the registrant will be 

prohibited from selling or distributing 

the product whose label includes the 

deleted uses identified in Table 2 of 

Unit II., except for export consistent 

with FIFRA section 17 or for proper 

disposal. Persons other than the 

registrant will generally be allowed to 

sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of 

the amended product whose label 

includes the deleted uses until supplies 

are exhausted, provided that such sale, 

distribution, or use is consistent with 

the terms of the previously approved 

labeling on, or that accompanied, the 

amended product. 

6. For all other products identified in 

Table 1 of Unit II, EPA anticipates 

allowing the registrants to sell and 

distribute existing stocks of voluntarily 

cancelled products for 1 year after the 

effective date of the cancellation, which 

will be the date of publication of the 

cancellation order in the Federal 

Register. Thereafter, registrants will be 

prohibited from selling or distributing 

the products identified in Table 1 of 

Unit II., except for export consistent 

with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) 

or for proper disposal. Persons other 

than the registrant will generally be 

allowed to sell, distribute, or use 

existing stocks of cancelled products 

until supplies are exhausted, provided 

that such sale, distribution, or use is 

consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the cancelled products.

Reconsideration of Standards of 

Performance for Greenhouse Gas 

Emissions From New, Modified, and 

Reconstructed Stationary Sources: 

Electric Utility Generating Units 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final action denying 

petitions for reconsideration. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) received six 

petitions for reconsideration of the final 

Standards of Performance for 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, 

Modified, and Reconstructed Stationary 

Sources: Electric Utility Generating 

Units, published in the Federal Register 

on October 23, 2015. The agency is 

providing notice that it is denying five 

of these petitions, and deferring action 

on the issue of treatment of biomass 

raised in the petitions of both the 

Biogenic CO2 Coalition and the State of 

Wisconsin. The basis for the EPA’s 

action is set out fully in a separate 

memorandum available in the 

rulemaking docket. 

DATES: Effective May 6, 2016.

1The rule is also often referred to as the ‘‘Carbon 

Pollution Standards.’’ 

2The State of Wisconsin, in its petition, also 

raises the issue of whether and how to account for 

biomass fuels for purposes of determining 

compliance with applicable standards when 

biomass is co-fired with fossil fuels. The EPA is 

likewise not acting at this time on this portion of 

the State’s petition. 

3The Administrator is also sending an individual 

letter to each of the petitioners announcing her 

decision on their petition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Where can I get a copy of this 

document and other related 

information? 

A copy of this Federal Register 

notice, the petitions for reconsideration, 

and the separate memorandum 

describing the full basis for this action 

is available in the rulemaking dockets 

(Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013– 

0495 and Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR– 

2013–0603). In addition, following 

signature, an electronic copy of this 

final action and the memorandum will 

be available on the World Wide Web 

(WWW) at the following address: 

https://www.epa.gov/cleanpowerplan. 

II. Judicial Review 

Section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) specifies which Federal Courts of 

Appeal have venue over petitions for 

review of final EPA actions. This section 

provides, in part, that ‘‘a petition for 

review of action of the Administrator in 

promulgating . . . any standard of 

performance or requirement under 

section [111] of [the CAA],’’ or any other 

‘‘nationally applicable’’ final action, 

‘‘may be filed only in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the District of 

Columbia.’’ 

The EPA has determined that its 

action denying the petitions for 

reconsideration is nationally applicable 

for purposes of CAA section 307(b)(1) 

because the action directly affects the 

Standards of Performance for 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, 

Modified, and Reconstructed Stationary 

Sources: Electric Utility Generating 

Units, which are nationally applicable 

section 111 standards. Thus, any 

petitions for review of the EPA’s 

decision to deny petitioners’ requests 

for reconsideration must be filed in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia by July 5, 2016. 

III. Background and Summary of the 

Action 

On October 23, 2015, pursuant to 

section 111(b) of the CAA, the EPA 

published the final rule titled 

‘‘Standards of Performance for 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, 

Modified, and Reconstructed Stationary 

Sources: Electric Utility Generating 

Units.’’ (‘‘section 111(b) greenhouse gas 

(GHG) new source performance 

standards (NSPS)’’) 80 FR 64510.1

Following publication of the final rule, 

the Administrator received petitions for 

reconsideration of certain provisions of 

the final rule pursuant to CAA section 

307(d)(7)(B). 

CAA section 307(d)(7)(B) requires the 

EPA to convene a proceeding for 

reconsideration of a rule if a party 

raising an objection to the rule ‘‘can 

demonstrate to the Administrator that it 

was impracticable to raise such 

objection within [the public comment 

period] 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 requirement 

to convene a proceeding to reconsider a 

rule is, thus, based on the petitioner 

demonstrating to the EPA both: (1) That 

it was impracticable to raise the 

objection during the comment period, or 

that the grounds for such objection arose 

after the comment period but within the 

time specified for judicial review (i.e., 

within 60 days after publication of the 

final rulemaking notice in the Federal 

Register, see CAA section 307(b)(1)); 

and (2) that the objection is of central 

relevance to the outcome of the rule. 

The EPA received six petitions for 

reconsideration of the CAA section 

111(b) greenhouse gas (GHG) new 

source performance standard (NSPS) 

from the following entities: the Utility 

Air Regulatory Group (UARG); 

American Electric Power (AEP); Ameren 

Corp. (Ameren); the Energy and 

Environmental Legal Institute (EELI); 

State of Wisconsin; and the Biogenic 

CO2 Coalition. The EPA is denying all 

but the last of these petitions as not 

satisfying one or both of the statutory 

conditions for compelled 

reconsideration. The EPA is deferring 

action on the petition of the Biogenic 

CO2 Coalition pending our further ongoing consideration of the underlying 

issue of whether and how to account for 

biomass when co-firing with fossil 

fuels.2

We discuss each of the five petitions 

we are denying and the basis for those 

denials in a separate, docketed 

memorandum titled ‘‘Basis for Denial of 

Petitions to Reconsider the CAA section 

111(b) Standards of Performance for 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from New, 

Modified, and Reconstructed Fossil 

Fuel-Fired Electric Utility Generating 

Units.’’ For reasons set out in the 

memorandum, the petitions for review 

of UARG, AEP, Ameren, EELI, and the 

State of Wisconsin (with the exception 

of the issue regarding treatment of 

biomass) are denied.3
