Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition for Objection to 

State Operating Permits for Shell 

Chemical LP Deer Park Chemical Plant 

and Shell Oil Company Deer Park 

Refinery in Texas 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final action. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Clean Air Act 

(CAA) Section 505(b)(2) and 40 CFR 

70.8(d), the EPA Administrator signed 

an Order, dated September 24, 2015, 

granting in part and denying in part two 

petitions asking EPA to object to 

operating permits issued by the Texas 

Commission on Environmental Quality 

for Shell Chemical LP’s Deer Park 

Chemical Plant and Shell Oil 

Company’s Deer Park Refinery (Title V 

operating permit numbers O1668 and 

O1669). The EPA’s September 24, 2015 

Order responds to the two petitions, 

dated May 19, 2014, submitted by the 

Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), 

Sierra Club, and Air Alliance Houston. 

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

CAA provide that a petitioner may ask 

for judicial review by the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit of those portions of the Order 

that deny issues raised in the petition. 

Any petition for review shall be filed 

within 60 days from the date this notice 

appears in the Federal Register, 

pursuant to section 307(b) of the CAA. 

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of 

the final Order, the petition, and other 

supporting information at EPA Region 6, 

1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202– 

2733. 

EPA requests that if at all possible, 

you contact the individual listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section to view copies of the final Order, 

petitions, and other supporting 

information. You may view the hard 

copies Monday through Friday, from 

9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., excluding 

Federal holidays. If you wish to 

examine these documents, you should 

make an appointment at least 24 hours 

before the visiting day. Additionally, the 

final September 24, 2015 Order is 

available electronically at: http://

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Aimee Wilson at (214) 665–7596, email 

address: wilson.aimee@epa.gov or the 

above EPA, Region 6 address. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review, 

and object, as appropriate, to a title V 

operating permit proposed by a state 

permitting authority. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the CAA authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator, within 

60 days after the expiration of this 

review period, to object to a title V 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

Petitions 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 such 

objections during the comment period 

or unless the grounds for the objection 

arose after this period. 

The Petitioners maintain that the 

Shell Deer Park title V operating permits 

are inconsistent with the Act based on 

the following contentions: (1) The 

proposed permits’ incorporation by 

reference of minor NSR authorizations 

fails to assure compliance; (2) The 

proposed permits’ incorporation by 

reference of permits by rule fails to 

assure compliance; (3) The proposed 

permits fail to require monitoring, 

recordkeeping, and reporting sufficient 

to assure compliance with applicable 

requirements; (4) The proposed permit 

for the Deer Park Refinery 

impermissibly uses the permit shield 

provisions; (5) The proposed permits 

fail to require Shell to obtain SIPapproved authorizations for qualified 

facilities changes; (6) The proposed 

permit for the Chemical Plant fails to 

address Shell’s non-compliance with 30 

Texas Administrative Code section 

116.116(d), which requires PBRs for 

previously permitted facilities to be 

incorporated into existing permits on 

renewal or amendment; (7) The 

Executive Director’s revision to draft 

permits’ special condition 28 in O1668 

and special condition 29 in O1669 are 

improper; and (8) The proposed permits 

must clarify that credible evidence may 

be used by citizens to enforce the terms 

and conditions of the permits. The 

claims are described in detail in Section 

IV of the Order. 

Pursuant to sections 505(b) and 505(e) 

of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7661d(b) 

and (e)) and 40 CFR 70.7(g) and 70.8(d), 

the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has 90 

days from the receipt of the 

Administrator’s order to resolve the 

objections identified in Claims 2., 3.B., 

3.C., and 6. of the Order and submit a 

proposed determination or termination, 

modification, or revocation and 

reissuance of the Shell Deer Park title V 

permits in accordance with EPA’s 

objections. The Order issued on 

September 24, 2015 responds to the 

Petitions and explains the basis for 

EPA’s decisions. 

Dated: October 15, 2015.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

information concerning the public 

meeting may contact Dr. Sue Shallal, 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA 

Science Advisory Board Staff Office 

(1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20460; by 

telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–2057 

or at shallal.suhair@epa.gov. General 

information about the CASAC, as well 

as any updates concerning the 

teleconference announced in this notice, 

may be found on the EPA Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CASAC was established pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), 

in part to review air quality criteria and 

NAAQS and recommend any new 

NAAQS and revisions of existing 

criteria and NAAQS as may be 

appropriate. The CASAC is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. Section 

109(d)(1) of the CAA requires that the 

Agency periodically review and revise, 

as appropriate, the air quality criteria 

and the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants, including oxides of nitrogen 

and oxides of sulfur. EPA is currently 

reviewing the secondary (welfare-based) 

ambient air quality standards for oxides 

of nitrogen and sulfur and has requested 

CASAC advice. Accordingly, the SAB 

Staff Office solicited nominations for 

the CASAC Secondary NAAQS Review 

Panel for Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur 

on March 27, 2014 (79 FR 17147– 

17149). Membership of the Panel is 

listed at http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/

sabpeople.nsf/WebCommitteesSub

committees/Secondary%20NA

AQS%20Review%20Panel%20for%20O

xides%20of%20Nitrogen%20and%20

Sulfur. EPA will develop several 

documents in support of its review of 

the secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS 

for oxides of nitrogen and sulfur, drafts 

of which will be subject to review by the 

CASAC panel. These documents 

include the Integrated Review Plan (IRP) 

for the secondary NAAQS for oxides of 

nitrogen and sulfur, the Integrated 

Science Assessment (ISA) for Oxides of 

Nitrogen and Sulfur—Ecological 

Criteria; a Risk and Exposure 

Assessment (REA), as warranted; and 

the Policy Assessment (PA). 

Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, 

notice is hereby given that the CASAC 

Secondary National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards Review Panel for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur will hold 

a public teleconference to peer review 

EPA’s Integrated Review Plan (IRP) for 

the Secondary (welfare-based) National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for 

Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of 

Sulfur. The CASAC Panel will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning the Integrated 

Review Plan (IRP) for the Secondary 

(welfare-based) National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Oxides of 

Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur should be 

directed to Ms. Ginger Tennant 

(tennant.ginger@epa.gov), EPA Office 

Air Quality Planning and Standards. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the teleconference, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be accessible through the calendar 

link on the blue navigation bar at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac/. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. Interested 

members of the public may submit 

relevant written or oral information on 

the topic of this advisory activity, and/ 

or the group conducting the activity, for 

the CASAC to consider during the 

advisory process. Input from the public 

to the CASAC will have the most impact 

if it provides specific scientific or 

technical information or analysis for 

CASAC panels to consider or if it relates 

to the clarity or accuracy of the 

technical information. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should contact the DFO directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public teleconference 

will be limited to three minutes. Each 

person making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Dr. Sue Shallal, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by 

November 17, 2015 to be placed on the 

list of public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by November 

17, 2015 so that the information may be 

made available to the Panel members for 

their consideration. It is the SAB Staff 

Office general policy to post written 

comments on the Web page for the 

advisory meeting or teleconference. 

Submitters are requested to provide an 

unsigned version of each document 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. Members of the public 

should be aware that their personal 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, may be posted to the 

CASAC Web site. Copyrighted material 

will not be posted without explicit 

permission of the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Sue 

Shallal at the contact information 

provided above. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Shallal preferably at least ten 

days prior to the teleconference to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.
