to EPA, as provided for under 

previously approved automatic 

delegation mechanisms. All 

notifications, applications, reports and 

other correspondence required pursuant 

to the delegated NESHAP and NSPS 

must be submitted to both the US EPA 

Region III and to the West Virginia 

Department of Environmental 

Protection, unless the delegated 

standard specifically provides that such 

submittals may be sent to EPA or a 

delegated State. In such cases, the 

submittals should be sent only to the 

West Virginia Department of 

Environmental Protection. A copy of 

EPA’s June 24, 2015 letter to West 

Virginia follows: 

‘‘Mr. William F. Durham, Director 

Division of Air Quality 

West Virginia Department of 

Environmental Protection 

601 57th Street 

Charleston, West Virginia 25304 

Dear Mr. Durham: 

The United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) has previously 

delegated to the State of West Virginia (West 

Virginia) the authority to implement and 

enforce various federal National Emissions 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) and New Source Performance 

Standards (NSPS), which are found at 40 CFR 

parts 60, 61 and 63.1 In those actions EPA 

also delegated to West Virginia the authority 

to implement and enforce any future EPA 

NESHAP or NSPS on the condition that West 

Virginia legally adopt the future standards, 

make only allowed wording changes, and 

provide specified notice to EPA. 

In a letter dated June 8, 2015, West Virginia 

informed EPA that West Virginia had 

updated its incorporation by reference of 

federal NESHAP and NSPS to include many 

such standards as found in 40 CFR parts 60, 

61, and 63 as of June 1, 2014. West Virginia 

noted that it understood that it was 

automatically delegated the authority to 

implement these standards. West Virginia 

committed to enforcing the standards in 

conformance with the terms of EPA’s 

previous delegations of authority. West 

Virginia made only allowed wording 

changes. 

West Virginia provided copies of the 

revised West Virginia Legislative Rules 

which specify the NESHAP and NSPS which 

West Virginia has adopted by reference. 

These revised Legislative Rules are entitled 

45 CSR 34—‘‘Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants,’’ and 45 CSR 16— 

‘‘Standards of Performance for New 

Stationary Sources.’’ These revised Rules 

have an effective date of June 1, 2015. 

Accordingly, EPA acknowledges that West 

Virginia now has the authority, as provided 

for under the terms of EPA’s previous 

delegation actions, to implement and enforce 

the NESHAP and NSPS standards which 

West Virginia has adopted by reference in 

West Virginia’s revised Legislative Rules 45 

CSR 34 and 45 CSR 16, both effective on June 

1, 2015. 

Please note that on December 19, 2008 in 

Sierra Club vs. EPA,2 the United States Court 

of Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit vacated certain provisions of the 

General Provisions of 40 CFR part 63 relating 

to exemptions for startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction (SSM). On October 16, 2009, the 

Court issued the mandate vacating these SSM 

exemption provisions, which are found at 40 

CFR part 63, § 63.6(f)(1) and (h)(1). 

Accordingly, EPA no longer allows sources 

the SSM exemption as provided for in the 

vacated provisions at 40 CFR part 63, 

§ 63.6(f)(1) and (h)(1), even though EPA has 

not yet formally removed the SSM exemption 

provisions from the General Provisions of 40 

CFR part 63. Because West Virginia 

incorporated 40 CFR part 63 by reference, 

West Virginia should also no longer allow 

sources to use the former SSM exemption 

from the General Provisions of 40 CFR part 

63 due to the Court’s ruling in Sierra Club 

vs. EPA. 

EPA appreciates West Virginia’s 

continuing NESHAP and NSPS enforcement 

efforts, and also West Virginia’s decision to 

take automatic delegation of additional and 

more recent NESHAP and NSPS by adopting 

them by reference. 

Sincerely, 

Diana Esher, Director 

Air Protection Division’’ 

This notice acknowledges the update 

of West Virginia’s delegation of 

authority to implement and enforce 

NESHAP and NSPS.
