Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program: Order Responding to Petition 

for Objection to State Operating Permit 

for U.S. Steel—Granite City Works, 

Granite City, Illinois 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to Clean Air Act (Act) 

operating permit. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

that the EPA Administrator has partially 

granted and partially denied a petition 

from the Interdisciplinary 

Environmental Clinic at the Washington 

University School of Law, submitted to 

EPA on behalf of the American Bottom 

Conservancy (Petitioner). The Petitioner 

objected to the operating permit issued 

by the Illinois Environmental Protection 

Agency (IEPA) for the U.S. Steel— 

Granite City Works (USGW) facility, 

located in Granite City, Illinois. 

Sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the 

Act provide that a petitioner may ask for 

judicial review of those portions of the 

petition which EPA denies in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit. Any petition for 

review shall be filed within 60 days 

from the date this notice appears in the 

Federal Register, pursuant to section 

307 of the Act. 

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of 

the final order, the petition, and other 

supporting information at the EPA 

Region 5 Office, 77 West Jackson 

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. If 

you wish to examine these documents, 

you should make an appointment at 

least 24 hours before visiting day. 

Additionally, the final order for the 

USGW petition is available 

electronically at: http://www.epa.gov/

Air Permits Section, Air Programs 

Branch, Air and Radiation Division, 

EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, 

telephone (312) 353–0987. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and object, as appropriate, to Title V 

operating permits proposed by state 

permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the Act authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator within 

60 days after the expiration of the EPA 

review period to object to a Title V 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

A petition must be based only on 

objections to the permit that were raised 

with reasonable specificity during the 

public comment period provided by the 

state, unless the petitioner demonstrates 

that it was impracticable to raise issues 

during the comment period, or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. 

On August 16, 2011, the Petitioner 

filed a petition requesting that EPA 

object to issuance of the USGW Title V 

permit pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of 

the Act and 40 C.F.R. § 70.8(d). The 

Petitioner alleges that (1) the permit’s 

use of emission factors fails to provide 

periodic monitoring designed to ensure 

compliance with permit limits and lacks 

practical enforceability; (2) several 

permit limits lack adequate periodic 

monitoring requirements to ensure 

compliance with the limits; (3) the 

permit fails to respond to EPA’s Order 

dated January 21, 2011, with respect to 

excess emissions associated with 

startup, breakdown, and malfunctions; 

and (4) the permit fails to respond to 

EPA’s Order to include applicable 

requirements from the related 

construction permit for a new Gateway 

Energy & Coke Company coke plant that 

IEPA considers to be part of the USGW 

facility. 

On December 3, 2012, the 

Administrator issued an order partially 

granting and partially denying the 

petition. The order explains the reasons 

behind EPA’s conclusion. 

Date: December 14, 2012.

including training and experience, to be 

capable of providing expert comments 

on the scientific issues for this meeting. 

Nominees should be identified by name, 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with 
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 249 / Friday, December 28, 2012 / Notices 76481 

occupation, position, address, and 

telephone number. Nominations should 

be provided to the DFO listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or 

before January 14, 2013. The Agency 

will consider all nominations of 

prospective candidates for this meeting 

that are received on or before this date. 

However, final selection of ad hoc 

members for this meeting is a 

discretionary function of the Agency. 

The selection of scientists to serve on 

the FIFRA SAP is based on the function 

of the panel and the expertise needed to 

address the Agency’s charge to the 

panel. No interested scientists shall be 

ineligible to serve by reason of their 

membership on any other advisory 

committee to a Federal department or 

agency or their employment by a 

Federal department or agency except the 

EPA. Other factors considered during 

the selection process include 

availability of the potential panel 

member to fully participate in the 

panel’s reviews, absence of any conflicts 

of interest or appearance of lack of 

impartiality, independence with respect 

to the matters under review, and lack of 

bias. Although, financial conflicts of 

interest, the appearance of lack of 

impartiality, lack of independence, and 

bias may result in disqualification, the 

absence of such concerns does not 

assure that a candidate will be selected 

to serve on the FIFRA SAP. Numerous 

qualified candidates are identified for 

each panel. Therefore, selection 

decisions involve carefully weighing a 

number of factors including the 

candidates’ areas of expertise and 

professional qualifications and 

achieving an overall balance of different 

scientific perspectives on the panel. In 

order to have the collective breadth of 

experience needed to address the 

Agency’s charge for this meeting, the 

Agency anticipates selecting 

approximately 10 ad hoc scientists. 

FIFRA SAP members are subject to 

the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, 

Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, 

as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR 

part 6401. In anticipation of this 

requirement, prospective candidates for 

service on the FIFRA SAP will be asked 

to submit confidential financial 

information which shall fully disclose, 

among other financial interests, the 

candidate’s employment, stocks and 

bonds, and where applicable, sources of 

research support. The EPA will evaluate 

the candidates financial disclosure form 

to assess whether there are financial 

conflicts of interest, appearance of a 

lack of impartiality or any prior 

involvement with the development of 

the documents under consideration 

(including previous scientific peer 

review) before the candidate is 

considered further for service on the 

FIFRA SAP. Those who are selected 

from the pool of prospective candidates 

will be asked to attend the public 

meetings and to participate in the 

discussion of key issues and 

assumptions at these meetings. In 

addition, they will be asked to review 

and to help finalize the meeting 

minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP 

members participating at this meeting 

will be posted on the FIFRA SAP Web 

site at http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap 

or may be obtained from the OPP 

Regulatory Public Docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

II. Background 

A. Purpose of the FIFRA SAP 

The FIFRA SAP serves as the primary 

scientific peer review mechanism of 

EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and 

Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and is 

structured to provide scientific advice, 

information and recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator on pesticides 

and pesticide-related issues as to the 

impact of regulatory actions on health 

and the environment. The FIFRA SAP is 

a Federal advisory committee 

established in 1975 under FIFRA that 

operates in accordance with 

requirements of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act. The FIFRA SAP is 

composed of a permanent panel 

consisting of seven members who are 

appointed by the EPA Administrator 

from nominees provided by the National 

Institutes of Health and the National 

Science Foundation. FIFRA, as 

amended by FQPA, established a 

Science Review Board consisting of at 

least 60 scientists who are available to 

the SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in 

reviews conducted by the SAP. As a 

peer review mechanism, the FIFRA SAP 

provides comments, evaluations and 

recommendations to improve the 

effectiveness and quality of analyses 

made by Agency scientists. Members of 

the FIFRA SAP are scientists who have 

sufficient professional qualifications, 

including training and experience, to 

provide expert advice and 

recommendation to the Agency. 

B. Public Meeting 

The FIFRA SAP will meet to consider 

scientific issues associated with product 

performance data that may be needed 

for EPA to evaluate the efficacy of 

pesticide products used to control 

invertebrate pests. The SAP’s 

recommendations will be considered as 

EPA develops the proposed invertebrate 

product performance data requirements. 

Once EPA codifies product performance 

data requirements, the regulations will 

provide the regulated community and 

other interested parties a better 

understanding of the data required to 

support registration of a product 

claiming pesticidal activity against three 

categories of invertebrate pests. 

Recent developments in vector-borne 

diseases, such as the spread of the West 

Nile virus, outbreaks of dengue in 

Florida, and epidemic Rocky Mountain 

spotted fever on Indian Lands, together 

with the re-emergence of bed bugs in 

public housing and multifamily 

dwellings, have signaled the need to 

assess more carefully the threat of 

invertebrate pests to public health. At 

the same time, invasive wooddestroying insects such as the Emerald 

Ash Borer or Asian long-horned beetle 

present significant economic impacts to 

homes and native plant species. EPAregistered insecticide products are an 

important part of pest management 

programs and consumer efforts to 

accomplish pest control. EPA is 

considering the product performance 

data needed to support the registration 

of pesticide products claiming efficacy 

against invertebrate pests of significant 

public health or economic importance. 

The data being considered include a 

category of invertebrate pests identified 

to be of significant public health 

importance (e.g., ticks, mosquitoes, 

cockroaches). The other two categories 

are considered to be of significant 

economic importance: Wood-destroying 

insects (e.g., termites), and invasive 

invertebrate species. 

In response to these recent 

developments, EPA is considering the 

product performance data that may be 

needed for EPA to evaluate the efficacy 

of pesticide products used to control 

invertebrate pests. The FIFRA SAP will 

meet to consider certain scientific issues 

identified by the Agency. The main 

topics for consideration by the FIFRA 

SAP are the science criteria for: (1) 

Identifying the public health pests, 

wood-destroying insects, and invasive 

species for which product performance 

data are needed; (2) evaluating pest 

groupings and selection of appropriate 

surrogate species for efficacy testing; (3) 

adequacy of the performance standards 

being considered; (4) providing 

consistency in product performance 

studies submitted to EPA; and(5) 

ensuring the likelihood that EPAregistered products will perform as 

expected. The Agency also believes that 

revision of these product performance 

data requirements will improve the 

transparency of EPA practices to the 

public and registrants.
