Plan (SIP); Types of Standard Permits,

Standard Permit and Control Methods 

for the Permitting of Grandfathered 

and Electing Electric Generating 

Facilities 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

several revisions to the Texas State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) related to the 

Texas Minor New Source Review (NSR) 

Standard Permits (SP) Program. First, 

EPA is approving revisions submitted 

by the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ, or 

Commission) on January 3, 2000, and 

March 11, 2011, expanding the Texas SP 

Program to include the Rule Standard 

Permit (Rule SP). The EPA is also 

proposing to approve a revision to the 

Texas SIP submitted by the TCEQ on 

February 1, 2006, for a specific Rule SP, 

the Rule Standard Permit for Pollution 

Control Projects (Rule SP for PCP) as 

meeting the requirements for a Minor 

NSR SIP revision. Finally, because EPA 

is proposing to approve the Rule SP for 

PCP, EPA is also proposing to approve 

a severable portion of the January 3, 

2000, submittal concerning the Texas 

Senate Bill 7 (SB7) permitting program 

for grandfathered and electing electric 

generating facilities (EGFs). All of the 

Texas SB7 EGFs permitting program 

provisions have been approved as part 

of the Texas NSR SIP except for this 

severable portion. This severable 

portion allowing for the use of the Rule 

SP for PCP for permitting of collateral 

emission increases is being proposed for 

approval as meeting the requirements 

for a Minor NSR SIP revision. EPA is 

proposing these actions under section 

110 of the Federal Clean Air Act (the 

Act or CAA) through a direct final 

rulemaking. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before May 1, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 1200,

may also be submitted electronically or

rule located in the rules section of this 

Federal Register.

Barrett, (214) 665–7227,

(214) 665–2115, wiley.adina@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as noncontroversial submittal 

and anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

relevant, adverse comments are received 

in response to this action no further 

activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 

relevant, adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

For additional information, see the 

direct final rule which is located in the 

rules section of this Federal Register.

(NAAQS): Notice of Action Denying 

Petition for Reconsideration and Stay 

Request 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of action denying 

petition for reconsideration and stay 

request. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is providing notice that it 

has responded to a petition for 

reconsideration of a rule published in 

the Federal Register on August 5, 2013, 

that promulgated the initial air quality 

designations for the 2010 Primary Sulfur

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 62 / Tuesday, April 1, 2014 / Proposed Rules 18249 

Dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS) for certain 

areas in the United States. The rule is 

titled, ‘‘Air Quality Designations for the 

2010 SO2 Primary NAAQS.’’ Subsequent 

to publishing the rule, the EPA received 

three petitions requesting that the EPA 

reconsider its designation decisions for 

certain areas. This document announces 

the EPA’s response to one of those 

petitions: a petition from U.S. Steel 

requesting the EPA to reconsider its 

designation decision for Detroit, 

Michigan. A subsequent document will 

announce the EPA’s response to the 

other two petitions. The EPA carefully 

considered the U.S. Steel’s petition and 

supporting information, along with 

information contained in the 

rulemaking docket, in reaching its 

decision on the petition. The EPA 

denied the U.S. Steel’s petition for 

reconsideration in a letter to the 

petitioner dated March 11, 2014. The 

letter explains the EPA’s reasons for the 

denial. The petitioner also requested 

that the EPA stay the effectiveness of the 

designations rule, pending 

reconsideration. Because the EPA 

denied the reconsideration request, the 

EPA also denied the stay request. 

DATES: The petition for reconsideration 

discussed in this document is denied as 

of April 1, 2014.

and the response letter to the petitioner 

are also available on this Web site along

designations process. 

II. Judicial Review 

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

indicates which Federal Courts of 

Appeal have venue for petitions for 

review of final actions by the EPA. This 

section provides, in part, that petitions 

for review must be filed in the Court of 

Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit (i) when the agency action 

consists of ‘‘nationally applicable 

regulations promulgated, or final actions 

taken, by the Administrator,’’ or (ii) 

when such action is locally or regionally 

applicable, if ‘‘such action is based on 

a determination of nationwide scope or 

effect and if in taking such action the 

Administrator finds and publishes that 

such action is based on such a 

determination.’’ In the rule establishing 

air quality designations for the 2010 SO2

Primary NAAQS, the EPA determined 

that the actions are of nationwide scope 

and effect for the purposes of section 

307(b)(1). (See 78 FR 47191, 47197 

(August 5, 2013).) 

The EPA has determined that its 

action denying the petition for 

reconsideration also is of nationwide 

scope and effect because this action 

directly relates to the SO2 designations 

rulemaking that the EPA previously 

determined is of nationwide scope and 

effect. Thus, any petition for review of 

the final letter denying the petition for 

reconsideration must be filed in the 

Court of Appeals for the District of 

Columbia Circuit on or before June 2, 

2014.
