RIN 2060–AP63 

Electronic Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Requirements for New 

Source Performance Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; amendments. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to revise the 

part 60 General Provisions and various 

new source performance standards 

(NSPS) subparts in our regulations to 

require affected facilities to submit 

specified air emissions data reports to 

the EPA electronically and to allow 

affected facilities to maintain electronic 

records of these reports. 

The EPA believes that the electronic 

submittal of the reports addressed in 

this proposed rulemaking will increase 

the usefulness of the data contained in 

those reports, is in keeping with current 

trends in data availability, will further 

assist in the protection of public health 

and the environment and will 

ultimately result in less burden on the 

regulated community. Electronic 

submittal of the reports addressed in 

this proposed rulemaking will facilitate 

more accurate and timely development 

of numerous efforts, including 

regulation development, emissions 

factors, emissions inventories, trends 

analysis, regional and local scale air 

quality modeling, regulatory impact 

assessments and human exposure 

modeling. 

DATES: Comments. Comments must be 

received on or before May 19, 2015. 

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

comments on the information collection 

provisions must be received by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) on or before May 19, 2015. 

Public Hearing. If anyone contacts the 

EPA requesting a public hearing by 

March 25, 2015, the EPA will hold a 

public hearing on April 6, 2015 from 

1:00 p.m. [Eastern Standard Time] to 

5:00 p.m. [Eastern Standard Time] at the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

building located at 109 T.W. Alexander 

Drive, Research Park, NC 27711. If the 

EPA holds a public hearing, the EPA 

will keep the record of the hearing open 

for 30 days after completion of the 

hearing to provide an opportunity for 

submission of rebuttal and 

supplementary information.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 15101 

for the hearing, as we may not be able 

to arrange such accommodations 

without advance notice. The hearing 

will provide interested parties the 

opportunity to present data, views or 

arguments concerning the proposed 

rule. The EPA will make every effort to 

accommodate all speakers who arrive 

and register. Because this hearing is 

held at a U.S. government facility, 

individuals planning to attend the 

hearing should be prepared to show 

valid picture identification to the 

security staff in order to gain access to 

the meeting room. Please note that the 

REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 

2005, established new requirements for

driver’s license is issued by Alaska, 

American Samoa, Arizona, Kentucky, 

Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, 

Minnesota, Montana, New York, 

Oklahoma or the state of Washington, 

you must present an additional form of 

identification to enter the federal 

building. Acceptable alternative forms 

of identification include: Federal 

employee badges, passports, enhanced 

driver’s licenses and military 

identification cards. In addition, you 

will need to obtain a property pass for 

any personal belongings you bring with 

you. Upon leaving the building, you 

will be required to return this property 

pass to the security desk. No large signs 

will be allowed in the building, cameras 

may only be used outside of the 

building and demonstrations will not be 

allowed on federal property for security 

reasons. The EPA may ask clarifying 

questions during the oral presentations, 

but will not respond to the 

presentations at that time. Written 

statements and supporting information 

submitted during the comment period 

will be considered with the same weight 

as oral comments and supporting 

information presented at the public 

hearing. Verbatim transcripts of the 

hearing and written statements will be 

included in the docket for the 

rulemaking. The EPA will make every 

effort to follow the schedule as closely 

as possible on the day of the hearing; 

however, please plan for the hearing to 

run either ahead of schedule or behind 

schedule. Again, a hearing will not be 

held on this rulemaking unless 

requested. A hearing needs to be 

requested by March 25, 2015.

EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0174. 

II. Proposed Action 

A. What are the current part 60 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements? 

Section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) directs the EPA to develop 

technology based standards which 

apply to specific categories of stationary 

sources. Additionally, section 129 of the 

CAA requires that the EPA establish 

performance standards for solid waste 

combustors under the CAA section 111 

requirements. The CAA section 111 

standards, or NSPS, apply to new, 

modified and reconstructed facilities in 

specific source categories, and they are 

codified in 40 CFR part 60. The NSPS 

typically include source category 

specific emissions standards and 

monitoring, reporting, recordkeeping 

and testing requirements. In addition, 

the General Provisions of 40 CFR part 60 

(subpart A) include regulatory 

requirements that automatically apply 

to all NSPS unless a particular subpart 

contains specific requirements that 

replace or augment the General 

Provisions requirements. Under current 

part 60 requirements, most facilities 

must routinely keep records and submit 

air emissions data reports such as 

summary reports, excess emission 

reports, performance test reports and 

performance evaluation reports in paper 

format to the EPA and delegated state, 

local and tribal air agencies (air 

agencies). 

B. What revisions are we proposing with 

this action? 

This proposal would require you (the 

owner or operator or responsible official 

[as defined in 40 CFR 63.2]) to submit 

specified reports required under 40 CFR 

part 60 electronically to the EPA’s 

Central Data Exchange (CDX) (http://

www.epa.gov/cdx/), the point of entry 

for electronic environmental data 

submissions to the EPA, rather than 

submitting them in paper format. This 

proposed rule would not require you to 

submit any information that is not 

already required to be submitted under 

the current NSPS that are proposed to 

be revised by this rule nor would this 

rule change the way in which you 

submit these reports to your relevant air 

agency. 

While the NSPS require several 

different types of reports, this proposed 

rule focuses on the submission of 

electronic reports to the EPA that 

provide direct measures of air emissions 

data such as summary reports, excess 

emission reports, performance test 

reports and performance evaluation 

reports. Later in this section, we provide 

further explanation of reports we are not 

proposing to include in this rule, 

although we may require electronic 

submittal of these reports at a later time. 

Again, we are not adding new reporting 

requirements; these reports are already 

required to be submitted in current 40 

CFR part 60 regulations. The part 60 

General Provisions specify the timing 

for submittal and content of the reports. 

The General Provisions’ reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements apply to all 

NSPS without change unless a 

particular NSPS supplements or revises 

some or all of them to address source 

category specific needs. 

Following is a brief summary of the 

basic air emissions data reports codified 

in the 40 CFR part 60 General 

Provisions that we have included in this 

proposed rule: 

• Summary reports and/or excess 

emissions and monitoring systems 

performance reports (excess emission 

reports) are required by 40 CFR 60.7(c) 

of the General Provisions when an 

owner or operator is required to install 

a continuous monitoring system (CMS). 

The summary report form may be 

submitted in lieu of the excess emission 

report when the downtime and excess 

emissions durations are sufficiently low, 

meeting thresholds defined in 40 CFR 

60.7(d). Section 60.7(d) of the General 

Provisions specifies the content 

required in a summary report, which 

consists of basic excess emissions data 

(excess emissions duration and causes) 

and CMS performance data (CMS 

downtime duration and causes) in 

summary form. 

• Excess emission reports are 

required by 40 CFR 60.7(c) of the 

General Provisions if an owner or 

operator is required to install a CMS and 

(1) the total duration of excess 

emissions for the reporting period is 1 

percent or greater of the total operating 

time for the reporting period, or (2) the 

total CMS downtime for the reporting 

period is 5 percent or greater of the total 

operating time for the reporting period. 

Section 60.7(c) specifies the content 

required, which consists of detailed 

excess emissions data (magnitude of 

excess emissions; identification of 

periods of excess emissions that occur 

during startups, shutdowns and 

malfunctions; cause of any malfunction; 

and the corrective action taken or 

preventive measures adopted) and CMS 

performance data (date and time 

identifying each period when the CMS 

was inoperative except for zero and 

span checks and the nature of the 

system repairs or adjustments). 

• Performance test reports required 

by 40 CFR 60.8(a) of the General 

Provisions must be submitted after an 

owner or operator conducts a required 

performance test to demonstrate 

compliance with the emissions 

standard(s) and/or to establish control 

device operating parameters. 

• Performance evaluation reports 

(also referred to as relative accuracy test 

audit [RATA] reports) required by 40 

CFR 60.13(c) of the General Provisions 

must be submitted after an owner or 

operator conducts a required 

performance evaluation of a CMS to 

demonstrate the accuracy of the CMS. 

Many NSPS require the submission of 

specific air emissions data reports that 

are similar to the summary reports and 

excess emission reports required under 

the 40 CFR part 60 General Provisions. 

Although similar in purpose and 

required content, they are called by 

different names (e.g., annual reports, 

semi-annual reports). The EPA reviewed 

each NSPS to ensure that we require 

these reports be submitted to the EPA 

electronically, since they provide 

essentially the same information as 

required by summary reports and excess 

emission reports. 

The majority of NSPS are potentially 

affected by this proposed rulemaking 

either because the specified General 

Provisions requirements apply or 

because they are being individually

2We also plan to address electronic reporting in 

the Federal Plans that implement the emission 

guidelines. 

3Support for the Proposed Revisions for the 

Electronic Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements for New Source Performance 

Standards. December 11, 2014. 

amended by this proposed rulemaking. 

There are, however, some NSPS that are 

being excluded from this proposed 

rulemaking. For example, NSPS that do 

not require the submission of any of the 

air emissions data reports that are 

subject to the proposed electronic 

reporting are excluded from this 

proposed rulemaking. In addition, a few 

NSPS are being addressed under 

separate rulemakings that would require 

electronic reporting. See Table 1 (in 

section VI of this preamble) for subparts 

that are not being addressed in this 

proposed rulemaking. 

In addition to the NSPS, 40 CFR part 

60 includes several subparts that 

contain requirements for state emission 

guidelines. In addition to requiring the 

EPA to establish NSPS for new units, 

section 129 of the CAA also requires the 

agency to establish emission guidelines 

for existing units. Additionally, section 

111(d) of the CAA requires the agency 

to establish emission guidelines for 

existing units for any pollutant for 

which air quality criteria have not been 

issued or which is not included on a list 

published under section 7408(a) of Title 

42 of the U.S. Code or emitted from a 

source category which is regulated 

under CAA section 112, but to which a 

standard of performance would apply if 

such existing source were a new source. 

Unlike NSPS, which are federal 

regulations that apply directly to new, 

modified or reconstructed sources, 

emission guidelines do not directly 

regulate sources. Instead, emission 

guidelines establish requirements for 

state plans, which are the vehicle by 

which states implement the emission 

guidelines.1 Because air agencies have 

already submitted implementation plans 

for the majority of the emission 

guidelines, and it would be overly 

burdensome to require air agencies to 

revise and resubmit implementation 

plans solely to address electronic 

reporting, we are not proposing to revise 

the emission guidelines to require 

electronic reporting to the EPA at this 

time. In the future, when an emission 

guideline is opened for other revisions 

or a new emission guideline is 

proposed, we will address electronic 

reporting in those rulemakings.2 Even 

though we are not updating the 

emission guidelines at this time, if an 

air agency has an approved plan that 

already incorporates electronic 

reporting and recordkeeping, it may be 

possible for the air agency to start 

implementing the requirements 

proposed in the NSPS for the emission 

guidelines, if the air agency wishes to 

do so. Air agencies may also choose to 

revise state plans to incorporate the 

electronic reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements proposed in the NSPS and 

submit the plans to the EPA for 

approval. 

Table 2 (in section VI of this 

preamble) presents the subparts in 40 

CFR part 60 that are affected by this 

proposed rulemaking. We note that not 

all affected NSPS are specifically 

amended in this proposed rulemaking. 

The NSPS that rely solely on the 40 CFR 

part 60 General Provisions are not being 

specifically amended, but are affected 

by this proposed rulemaking due to the 

amendments to the General Provisions. 

Table 1 presents the subparts in 40 CFR 

part 60 that are not affected by this 

proposed rulemaking and the reasons 

why they are unaffected. The support 

document in the docket to this proposed 

rule details the rationale for each of the 

proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 

60.3

In reviewing each NSPS, we 

purposefully excluded air emissions 

data that we did not prioritize for 

reporting to the EPA electronically at 

this time. While information such as 

leak detection and repair program 

reports and individual parametric 

system performance monitoring data 

(e.g., temperature, pressure and flow 

rate) reports are useful air emissions 

data, we chose to focus on reports of air 

emissions data used by the EPA and 

other stakeholders to evaluate the 

emissions and performance of affected 

facilities for which we could develop 

the platform to provide user access to 

upload and review the reports by the 

time this proposed rule is finalized. In 

the future, we may propose to expand 

the number and type of air emissions 

reports that we collect electronically. 

Some of the NSPS require owners and 

operators of affected facilities to submit 

the results of their performance tests 

and performance evaluations with their 

summary and other similar semi-annual 

or annual air emission reports. In 

instances where we are requiring 

owners and operators to submit the 

results of those performance tests and/ 

or performance evaluations to the EPA’s 

CDX, we have excluded the need to 

submit these results with the air 

emission reports because these reports 

will be readily available and searchable 

through the EPA’s WebFIRE database. 

Instead, we have revised the applicable 

air emission report requirements to 

require identifying information (i.e., the 

process unit and pollutant tested) and 

the date of the applicable performance 

test and/or performance evaluation. 

This change streamlines reporting by 

eliminating redundant submittals of 

performance test and performance 

evaluation results. We want to note that 

all of the information that is currently 

required to be submitted in these reports 

will still be submitted. 

Some of the proposed amendments 

include changes necessary to make the 

existing NSPS requirements consistent 

with the proposed electronic reporting 

requirements. For example, some of the 

NSPS that currently include 

requirements to submit electronic 

reports to the EPA’s CDX would be 

revised to be consistent with today’s 

proposal. Also, in order to streamline 

requirements to submit information to 

the EPA, NSPS addressed by today’s 

proposed rulemaking that currently 

require the submittal of reports to the 

EPA Regional Offices would be revised 

so that electronic submittal to the EPA’s 

CDX would suffice. In addition, the 

General Provisions currently provide for 

exceptions to certain federal or state 

reporting requirements in delegation 

agreements between the EPA and air 

agencies. We are proposing that 

information required to be reported to 

the EPA electronically cannot be 

exempted in delegation agreements. We 

do not believe that this proposed change 

will require submission to the EPA of 

information beyond what is currently 

specified by 40 CFR 60.4(b) to be 

submitted to the EPA. However, we are 

soliciting comment on whether this 

assumption is correct, and, if not, how 

we should factor that into this 

rulemaking. Finally, in addition to 

proposing to revise reporting 

requirements, we are proposing to 

amend some of the 40 CFR part 60 rules 

to allow affected facilities to maintain 

the reports that have been submitted 

electronically to the EPA in electronic 

form rather than in hardcopy form. 

However, any records and reports that 

are not submitted electronically must 

continue to be retained in hardcopy 

form, unless the specific NSPS already 

allows electronic recordkeeping. 

We are not proposing any changes to 

how facilities interact with their air 

agencies. Air agencies will continue to 

receive reports in the format that they 

currently require unless they specify 

otherwise to facilities; however, the 

proposal allows air agencies to elect to 

opt in to receiving reports electronically 

using the EPA’s system in lieu of 

continuing to receive them in the format 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
15104 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

that they currently require. Even if an 

air agency elects not to receive reports 

through the EPA’s system, the air 

agency may still use the EPA’s system 

by accepting copies of electronically 

submitted reports either in hardcopy 

form or by electronic mail. Whether an 

air agency chooses to use the EPA’s 

system or not, all air agencies will have 

access to reports as soon as they are 

submitted to the EPA’s CDX. In order to 

access the report, the air agency 

reviewer must be registered in the 

Compliance and Emissions Data 

Reporting Interface (CEDRI). This is the 

interface on the CDX that allows 

facilities to submit required electronic 

reports under 40 CFR part 60 to the 

EPA. To register, the reviewer must 

send a request for registration to cedri@

epa.gov. The registration request must 

include the name, government email 

address, phone number and street 

address for the reviewer. To facilitate air 

agency access, air agency personnel who 

register for access to CEDRI will receive 

notifications when reports and 

associated data are submitted to the 

EPA’s CEDRI by affected facilities in 

their delegated areas. 

The proposed rule would be 

implemented upon the effective date of 

the final rule, which is 90 days after the 

date that the final rule is published in 

the Federal Register. We recognize that 

it may take some time to transition from 

paper reporting to electronic reporting. 

We understand that some reports may 

be due soon after the final rule is 

published and that you may have 

already compiled the majority of data in 

hardcopy form, with little time left to 

enter data into electronic reporting 

forms. Therefore, we are delaying the 

effective date of the rule until 90 days 

after it is published. We believe that 90 

days is an adequate amount of time for 

this transition, as it is slightly longer 

than the 60-day reporting timeframe for 

most performance tests. Additionally, as 

some reports are on a quarterly 

schedule, a 90-day timeframe will allow 

enough time for the completion of 

quarterly reports currently in progress 

and start the electronic reporting 

process with the next quarterly report. 

Starting 90 days after the date that this 

rule is published, you would be 

required to submit all subsequent 

specified reports electronically to the 

EPA on the date that the specified report 

would next be due. These provisions 

would apply to all affected facilities, 

including those currently subject to the 

applicable NSPS, as well as any new, 

modified or reconstructed sources. 

Please note that the proposed 90-day 

delay in the effective date of this rule 

would not affect a facility’s obligation to 

timely submit air emissions reports in 

hardcopy form to the delegated air 

agency and the EPA. Any such reports 

that are due during the 90-day period 

must be submitted timely. 

C. What steps do you need to take to 

electronically submit reports to the 

EPA? 

1. Overview of Data Flow Process 

This proposal would require you (the 

owner or operator or responsible 

official) to submit specified reports 

currently required under 40 CFR part 60 

electronically to the EPA’s CDX, the 

point of entry for submission of 

electronic data to the agency. The CDX 

provides access to the CEDRI. This is 

the interface on the CDX that allows you 

to submit your required electronic 

reports under 40 CFR part 60 to the 

EPA. 

The EPA’s Electronic Reporting Tool 

(ERT) creates electronic versions of 

stationary source sampling test plans 

and reports of test results that can be 

submitted to the EPA and air agencies. 

Note that the proposed requirement to 

submit performance test reports and 

performance evaluation reports 

electronically for the affected NSPS is 

limited to those reports involving test 

methods and performance specifications 

that are supported by the EPA’s ERT. 

For performance tests and evaluations 

that involve test methods and pollutants 

that are not supported by the ERT, you 

must continue to submit the required 

reports in hardcopy format to your 

delegated air agency and the EPA 

Regional Office, as applicable. The test 

methods and performance specifications 

currently supported by the ERT are 

listed in Table 3 (in section VI of this 

preamble) and on the ERT Web site 

(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_

info.html). We expect this list to expand 

over time. When we add new methods 

and performance specifications to the 

ERT, a notice will be sent out through 

the Clearinghouse for Inventories and 

Emissions Factors (CHIEF) Listserv 

(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/

listserv.html#chief) and a notice of 

availability 

will be added to the ERT Web site. We 

encourage you to check the Web site 

regularly for up-to-date information on 

methods and performance specifications 

supported by the ERT. 

The existing version of CEDRI can 

accept submissions of performance test 

reports generated by the ERT, 

performance evaluation reports 

generated by the ERT and a limited 

number of other air emissions reports to 

the EPA. Facilities can submit reports 

for multiple NSPS at the same time. 

This may be desirable for facilities 

subject to more than one NSPS. We plan 

to expand CEDRI to allow submittal of 

additional 40 CFR part 60 summary 

reports, excess emission reports and 

other similar reports as described above. 

In the event CEDRI development does 

not yet support electronic submittal of 

reports for a particular NSPS or a 

specified report on the required 

submittal date, you would submit the 

report or reports as otherwise required 

by the EPA and the delegated air 

agency. When CEDRI is updated to 

support electronic submittal of the 

required report, you would have 90 days 

from the date of the reporting form’s 

availability in CEDRI to commence 

electronic reporting to the EPA. Any 

reports that are required to be submitted 

prior to the date 90 days from the date 

the reporting form becomes available 

must be submitted timely and can be 

submitted either in hard copy or using 

the electronic reporting form. Notice 

will be sent out through the CHIEF 

Listserv and a notice of availability will 

be added to the CEDRI Web site (http:// 

www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/cedri/

index.html) when CEDRI is updated to 

include these reports. 

The CEDRI will also have the ability 

to automatically import available 

facility identification information so 

that the user will not be required to 

input this information on every form. In 

most cases, the facility identification 

information is already part of the EPA 

Facility Registration System (FRS) and 

will be obtained from FRS through a 

Web service using the FRS ID. The FRS 

is a centrally managed EPA database 

that identifies facilities, sites or places 

subject to environmental regulations or 

of environmental interest. Sources 

without an FRS number will be able to 

obtain an FRS number when signing on 

to CEDRI and sources with an FRS 

number that find that some of the FRSgenerated information is incorrect will 

be able to correct the errors in CEDRI. 

Finally, the CEDRI reporting tools will 

include additional fields and an upload 

area for PDF files to allow you to add 

information to address state, local or 

tribal reporting requirements that may 

be required in addition to the federal 

requirements. You are only required to 

submit this additional information if 

your air agency (1) opts into accepting 

reports through the EPA’s system, (2) 

allows facilities to submit files of 

electronically submitted reports by 

electronic mail or (3) allows facilities to 

submit hard copies of the files 

submitted electronically. 

The WebFIRE database (WebFIRE) 

(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/webfire/

%200.pdf. 

index.html) houses the information 

submitted to the EPA electronically 

through CEDRI and is the public access 

site for this information. WebFIRE is 

also the EPA’s online emissions factor 

repository, retrieval and development 

tool. Public access to the electronic data 

submitted to the EPA through CEDRI 

would be available in WebFIRE within 

60 days after the package is 

electronically submitted. During this 

processing period, the EPA or air agency 

reviewer will have access to the 

submitted report if the reviewer 

registers for access to CEDRI through 

CDX, and the facility preparer may 

submit corrections to the report to 

CEDRI based on the air agency’s review. 

We believe that this processing period is 

necessary to ensure that the data in 

WebFIRE are as complete and accurate 

as possible. All users will benefit from 

higher quality data. Since the 

information in the submitted package 

must be certified as accurate, we do not 

anticipate frequent changes. If, however, 

changes are made to the submission 

package prior to the end of the 

processing period and the package’s 

release to WebFIRE, the processing 

period will start over to allow air agency 

reviewers time to review the new 

submission package. While only the 

corrected package will be available in 

WebFIRE, all versions of submitted 

reports will remain as part of the official 

record and be available to the EPA and 

air agency reviewers through CDX. 

2. CDX CEDRI User Registration and 

Electronic Signature 

If you are a new user, in order to 

electronically submit the reports subject 

to this proposed rule, you would first 

need to visit the CDX homepage 

(https://cdx.epa.gov/) and register in 

CDX. Once you have successfully 

registered in CDX, you will receive 

confirmation of successful registration, 

and you will be able to log in to CDX 

by navigating to the CDX home page and 

entering your user ID and password. 

Once in CDX, you can select CEDRI 

from the Active Program Service List. 

Detailed instructions for registering and 

accessing CDX and CEDRI are outlined 

in the CEDRI CDX User Guide available 

on the CEDRI Web site.4

Once you have selected CEDRI from 

the Active Program Service List, you 

must then select a registration role. You 

may register either as a ‘‘preparer’’ or a 

‘‘certifier.’’ The preparer (e.g., a 

performance test contractor or support 

person at the facility) compiles the data 

and assembles the submission packages. 

The preparer can upload files and 

complete electronic forms. However, the 

preparer may not submit or sign 

packages, unless the preparer is also a 

registered certifier for the facility. As 

part of the registration process, 

preparers are required to identify the 

certifier(s) for whom they are preparing 

reports. The certifier will be able to 

assemble submission packages (and, 

therefore, may also be the preparer) and 

will be able to modify submission 

packages that a preparer has assembled. 

The key difference between the preparer 

and the certifier is that the certifier can 

submit and sign a package using an 

electronic signature. The certifier is 

generally referred to as the ‘‘owner or 

operator’’ or ‘‘responsible official’’ of the 

facility as defined in the NSPS. To 

submit a report, there must be either a 

separate preparer and certifier or one 

registered certifier who acts as both the 

preparer and certifier. 

The EPA has designed this process to 

be compliant with the Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR). 

The CROMERR (under 40 CFR part 3) 

provides the legal framework for 

electronic reporting under all of the 

EPA’s environmental regulations and 

includes criteria for assuring that the 

electronic signature is legally associated 

with an electronic document for the 

purpose of expressing the same meaning 

and intention as would a handwritten 

signature if affixed to an equivalent 

paper document. In other words, the 

electronic signature is as equally 

enforceable as a paper signature. For 

more information on CROMERR, see the 

Web site: http://www.epa.gov/cromerr/. 

3. Data Flow for Electronic Reports 

The electronic data flow process 

begins with the report preparation step. 

In the case of performance test reports 

and performance evaluation reports, the 

EPA’s ERT would be used to generate 

electronic performance test report and 

performance evaluation report files 

which would then be uploaded to 

CEDRI. Only the results of performance 

tests and performance evaluations 

which use test methods and 

performance specifications supported 

by the ERT are required to be submitted 

electronically to the EPA. Those 

performance test reports or performance 

evaluation reports which use test 

methods and performance specifications 

not supported by the ERT must continue 

to be submitted to the Administrator 

and/or delegated authority as currently 

required under the affected 40 CFR part 

60 rules. The current version of the ERT 

and test methods and performance 

specifications supported by the ERT are 

available at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/

chief/ert/index.html. The test methods 

and performance specifications 

currently included in the ERT are listed 

in Table 3. We expect this list to expand 

over time. When we add new methods 

to the ERT, a notice will be sent out 

through the CHIEF Listserv and a notice 

of availability will be added to the ERT 

Web site. We encourage you to check 

the Web site regularly for up-to-date 

information on test methods and 

performance specifications supported 

by the ERT. 

Prior to promulgation of this 

rulemaking, we plan to release an XML 

(extensible markup language) schema of 

data elements contained in the ERT to 

allow the development of alternative 

report options for performance test 

reports and performance evaluation 

reports. Third party software must 

contain all of the same data elements 

required by the ERT and must be 

CROMERR compliant. We will not 

preapprove third party software. Third 

party software will be validated through 

CEDRI submittal; only software that 

meets the requirements of the XML 

schema located on the ERT Web site 

will be accepted by CEDRI. Files 

developed with software that does meet 

the requirements of the XML schema 

located on the ERT Web site will be 

rejected by CEDRI. If you choose to use 

third party software, it is your 

responsibility to ensure that the third 

party software is acceptable. Use of a 

third party software that does not meet 

the requirements of the EPA’s XML 

schema does not relieve you of your 

responsibility to submit the report by 

the submittal deadline. 

If you choose to use a third party 

software, you would gather the 

necessary information required to be 

input for the performance test report or 

performance evaluation report and 

upload the file generated by the third 

party software to CEDRI. Third party 

software could be software developed 

by a third-party for the sole purpose of 

report submittals. It could also be a 

delegated air agency’s electronic 

reporting system. We are aware that 

some air agencies have already 

developed electronic reporting systems. 

If the air agency’s reporting system can 

be developed or amended such that it 

can upload all required data elements to 

the EPA’s CEDRI, the delegated air 

agency’s reporting system could serve as 

third-party software. In this case, you 

would submit your performance test or 

performance evaluation report to the 

delegated air agency through the 

delegated air agency’s software, and the 

air agency’s system would allow you to

5 If changes are made to the submission package 

prior to the end of the processing period and the 

package’s release to WebFIRE, the processing period 

will start over to allow air agency reviewers time 

to review the new submission package. While only 

the corrected package will be available in WebFIRE, 

all versions of submitted reports will remain as part 

of the official record and be available to EPA and 

air agency reviewers through CDX. 

also submit the report to the EPA’s 

CEDRI through the air agency’s system. 

Currently, the EPA’s ERT is a 

Microsoft Access® application, and it is 

the only available tool to use in 

preparing performance test reports and 

performance evaluation reports for 

submittal to CEDRI. We are evaluating 

options for the development of a Webbased version of the ERT. We are, 

therefore, soliciting comment on 

whether we should develop this 

alternative ERT format as a reporting 

tool for performance test reports and 

performance evaluation reports. 

Package preparation for summary 

reports, excess emission reports and 

subpart-specific reports that are similar 

to the summary reports and excess 

emission reports required by the 40 CFR 

part 60 General Provisions begins when 

you gather the necessary information 

required to be input and/or uploaded 

into the applicable report forms. For 

subpart-specific reports, we intend to 

build in the capability for an alternative 

electronic file to be submitted in lieu of 

filling in the CEDRI-provided subpartspecific report form. We plan to release 

the XML schema that is required for 

third-parties to develop alternative 

report options for air emissions reports 

in CEDRI prior to promulgation of this 

rulemaking. Third party software must 

contain all of the same data elements 

required by the report forms in CEDRI 

and must be CROMERR compliant. We 

are not approving third party software. 

Third party software will be validated 

through CEDRI submittal; only software 

that meets the requirements of the XML 

schema located on the CEDRI Web site 

will be accepted by CEDRI. If you 

choose to use third party software, it is 

your responsibility to ensure that the 

third party software is acceptable. Use 

of a third party software that does not 

meet the requirements of the EPA’s 

XML schema does not relieve you of 

your responsibility to submit the report 

by the submittal deadline. 

Once you prepare your report package 

in CEDRI, the registered certifier 

reviews the report(s) and may modify 

the file(s) or return the file(s) to the 

preparer to make modifications. When 

the certifier determines that the files are 

ready for submission, the certifier will 

certify the submission with a CROMERR 

electronic signature and submit the files 

through CEDRI. Following submission, 

the certified signature file will be stored 

with each report contained in the 

submission package as the CROMERR 

Copy of Record (COR) in CDX. Within 

60 days of submission to CDX,5 each file 

will be sent to the EPA’s WebFIRE 

database where it will be available for 

public access. Ultimately, each 

submission is stored in two places. The 

CROMERR COR is retained in CDX. The 

same file without the CROMERR 

signature is available publicly through 

WebFIRE.

proposed data flow process for 

electronic report submissions.

BILLING CODE 6560–50–C 

D. Recordkeeping 

Most of the NSPS require affected 

facilities to keep records, such as raw 

data and reports of emissions 

monitoring and testing, on site. Many of 

the NSPS require that this information 

be maintained in hardcopy form. 

Because those records, data and reports 

that would be required to be submitted 

to the EPA electronically would be 

stored safely and available to all 

stakeholders at all times, we propose 

that industry should be allowed to 

maintain electronic copies of these 

records, data and reports to satisfy 

federal recordkeeping requirements. 

Thus, in this rulemaking, we are 

proposing to eliminate the requirement 

to maintain hard copies of records, data 

and reports when these records, data 

and reports are submitted electronically 

to the EPA’s CDX. This provision will 

benefit industry facilities that currently 

maintain these reports in hardcopy 

form; the amount of space required to 

store the reports will be minimized, but

their uses, see: http://www.epa.gov/ttnchie1/ap42/. 

7Although WebFIRE will automatically run the

finalizing factors. Notices that draft factors are 

available for review are sent out via the CHIEF 

Listserv. 

the information will remain accessible 

at the facility. We note, however, that 

air agencies that require submission of 

reports in hardcopy form may also 

require the maintenance of hardcopy 

records, data and reports. 

We plan to store records, data and 

reports submitted to the EPA’s CDX 

electronically in two sites (CDX and 

WebFIRE), with frequent backups. Upon 

submission of each report, CEDRI will 

archive a copy of each submitted report 

in CDX (this copy becomes the official 

copy of record). Both WebFIRE and CDX 

back up their files on a daily basis. The 

EPA’s National Computer Center (where 

the WebFIRE files are stored) maintains 

a dual back-up file (one kept on site and 

the other stored off site). The CDX also 

employs a dual back-up system to avoid 

problems in the event of a catastrophe 

at the location of the servers storing the 

files. Thus, the EPA has established 

redundancy into the electronic reporting 

and storage system to ensure submitted 

records, data and reports are retained 

and available. 

As noted above, we believe that 

electronic recordkeeping is an adequate 

method of record retention that will 

improve record accessibility and will 

provide reduced storage benefits to 

facilities, resulting in a cost savings for 

industry. The EPA specifically solicits 

comment on the proposed amendment 

to allow electronic recordkeeping in lieu 

of hardcopy records. 

III. Rationale for Requiring the 

Electronic Submission of Specified 

Reports 

A. Why is this proposed action needed? 

The EPA believes that the electronic 

submittal of the reports addressed in 

this proposed rulemaking will increase 

the usefulness of the data contained in 

those reports, is in keeping with current 

trends in data availability, will further 

assist in the protection of public health 

and the environment and will 

ultimately result in less burden on the 

regulated community. Electronic 

reporting is in ever-increasing use and 

is universally considered to be faster, 

more efficient and more accurate for all 

parties once the initial systems have 

been established and start-up costs 

completed. Under current requirements, 

paper reports are often stored in filing 

cabinets or boxes, which make the 

reports more difficult to obtain and use 

for data analysis and sharing. Electronic 

storage of such reports would make data 

more accessible for review, analyses and 

sharing. Electronic reporting can 

eliminate paper-based, manual 

processes, thereby saving time and 

resources, simplifying data entry, 

eliminating redundancies, minimizing 

data reporting errors and providing data 

quickly and accurately to the affected 

facilities, air agencies, the EPA and the 

public. 

By making data readily available, 

electronic reporting increases the 

amount of data that can be used for 

many purposes. One example is the 

development of emissions factors. An 

emissions factor is a representative 

value that attempts to relate the quantity 

of a pollutant released to the 

atmosphere with an activity associated 

with the release of that pollutant (e.g., 

kilograms of particulate emitted per 

megagram of coal burned). Such factors 

facilitate the estimation of emissions 

from various sources of air pollution 

and are an important tool in developing 

emissions inventories, which in turn are 

the basis for numerous efforts, including 

trends analysis, regional and local scale 

air quality modeling, regulatory impact 

assessments and human exposure 

modeling. Emissions factors are also 

widely used in regulatory applicability 

determinations and in permitting 

decisions. In most cases, emissions 

factors are simply averages of all 

available data, and they are generally 

assumed to be representative of longterm averages for all facilities in the 

source category (i.e., a population 

average).6

The EPA has received feedback from 

stakeholders asserting that many of the 

EPA’s emissions factors are outdated or 

not representative of a particular 

industry emission source. While the 

EPA believes that the emissions factors 

are suitable for their intended purpose, 

we recognize that the quality of 

emissions factors varies based on the 

extent and quality of underlying data. 

We also recognize that emissions 

profiles on different pieces of 

equipment can change over time due to 

a number of factors (fuel changes, 

equipment improvements, industry 

work practices), and it is important for 

emissions factors to be updated to keep 

up with these changes. The EPA has 

received feedback from stakeholders 

asserting that many of the EPA’s 

emissions factors are outdated or not 

representative of a particular industry 

emission source. The EPA is currently 

pursuing emissions factor development 

improvements that include procedures 

to incorporate the source test data that 

we are proposing be submitted 

electronically. By requiring the 

electronic submission of the reports 

identified in this proposed rule, the EPA 

would be able to access and use the 

submitted data to update emissions 

factors more quickly and efficiently, 

creating factors that are characteristic of 

what is currently representative of the 

relevant industry sector. Likewise, an 

increase in the number of test reports 

used to develop the emissions factors 

will provide more confidence that the 

factor is of higher quality and 

representative of the whole industry 

sector. In the EPA’s new emissions 

factor development procedures (http://

www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/efpac/

procedures/index.html) that incorporate 

the use of electronic test data, WebFIRE 

automatically performs routines to 

determine when the incorporation of 

new data causes a factor to statistically 

differ from the existing factor and 

calculates an updated factor. Because 

these routines are run automatically,7

the process is quicker than the manual 

review and calculation process, and we 

are able to provide representative factors 

sooner. 

Emissions factors are used in the 

development of emissions inventories. 

Improved emissions factors means that 

higher quality inventories will be 

developed on a much quicker scale as 

a result of electronic reporting than they 

would under the current paper reporting 

requirements. Emissions inventories are 

used for tracking emission trends and 

identifying potential sources of 

emissions for reduction. For example, 

the EPA’s National Air Toxics 

Assessment (NATA) uses the EPA’s 

National Emissions Inventory (NEI) in 

its screening level assessments to 

characterize the nationwide chronic 

cancer risk estimates and noncancer 

hazards from inhaling air toxics. The 

NATA is used as a screening tool for air 

agencies to prioritize pollutants, 

emission sources and locations of 

interest for further study to gain a better 

understanding of risks. Therefore, 

improving the quality of these 

inventories and providing updated 

inventories more quickly are on-going 

goals for the agency and a benefit to the 

public, air agencies and the regulated 

community. Consistent with the goal of 

improving inventories, the EPA has 

determined that long-term activity data 

(e.g., production rates, heat rate) is an 

important data element. This data could 

also be used in rule development to 

develop emission limits for emission 

standards with long averaging times. 

Having this data submitted 

electronically would reduce the burden 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 15109 

of asking for this data in the future, 

during inventory and rulemaking 

activities. In lieu of activity data, 

collecting long-term emissions data 

would also provide useful data for 

inventory and rule development 

purposes. We are specifically requesting 

comment on whether and how longterm activity or emissions data should 

be submitted electronically. 

Additionally, by making the records, 

data and reports addressed in this 

proposed rulemaking readily available, 

the EPA, the regulated community and 

the public may benefit when the EPA 

conducts its CAA-required technology 

and risk-based reviews. Because we will 

already have access to these reports, our 

ability to carry out comprehensive 

reviews will be increased and achieved 

within a shorter period of time. While 

the regulated community may benefit 

from a reduced burden of information 

collection requests (ICRs), the general 

public benefits from the agency’s ability 

to provide these required reviews more 

quickly, resulting in increased public 

health and environmental protection. 

For example, under section 112 of the 

CAA, the EPA establishes technologybased standards for listed source 

categories. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA 

contains provisions requiring that the 

EPA periodically revisit these standards 

every 8 years. As a result of having 

performance test reports and air 

emission reports readily accessible, the 

EPA will have comprehensive data on 

which to base its review. These data 

will provide useful information on 

control efficiencies being achieved and 

maintained in practice within a source 

category and across source categories for 

regulated sources and pollutants. These 

reports can also be used to inform the 

technology-review process by providing 

information on improvements to add-on 

control technology and new control 

technology. 

Under an electronic reporting system, 

the EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning 

and Standards (OAQPS) would have air 

emissions and performance test data in 

hand; OAQPS would not have to collect 

these data from the EPA Regional 

Offices or from delegated air agencies or 

industry sources in cases where these 

reports are not submitted to the EPA 

Regional Offices, e.g., when a delegation 

agreement creates an exception for 

facilities in their jurisdiction to refrain 

from submitting reports to the EPA 

Regional Offices as otherwise required 

by 40 CFR 60.4(a). Thus, we anticipate 

fewer or less substantial ICRs in 

conjunction with prospective CAArequired technology and risk-based 

reviews may be needed. We expect this 

to result in a decrease in time spent by 

industry to respond to data collection 

requests. We also expect the ICRs to 

contain less extensive stack testing 

provisions, as we will already have 

stack test data electronically. Reduced 

testing requirements would be a cost 

savings to industry. The EPA should 

also be able to conduct these required 

reviews more quickly, as OAQPS will 

not have to include the ICR collection 

time in the process or spend time 

collecting reports from the EPA 

Regional Offices. 

Affected facilities could also see 

reduced costs as a result of the 

standardization of the electronic 

reporting system NSPS reporting forms. 

The forms will contain the data 

elements specified by the regulations in 

a step-by-step process. Additionally, the 

EPA’s electronic reporting system will 

be able to access existing information in 

previously submitted reports and data 

stored in other EPA databases. These 

data can be incorporated into new 

reports, which will lead to reporting 

burden reduction through labor savings. 

Electronic reporting could minimize 

submission of unnecessary or 

duplicative reports in cases where 

facilities report to multiple government 

agencies and the agencies opt to rely on 

the EPA’s electronic reporting system to 

view report submissions. Where air 

agencies continue to require a paper 

copy of these reports and will accept a 

hard copy of the electronic report, 

facilities will have the option to print 

paper copies of the electronic reporting 

forms to submit to the air agencies, and, 

thus, minimize the time spent reporting 

to multiple agencies. Additionally, 

maintenance and storage costs 

associated with retaining paper records 

could likewise be minimized by 

replacing those records with electronic 

records of electronically submitted data 

and reports. 

There are other benefits to 

standardizing the format of information. 

Standardizing the reporting format will 

require the reporting of specific data 

elements, thereby helping to ensure 

completeness of the data and allowing 

for accurate assessment of data quality. 

In the past, incomplete test reports have 

resulted in lower quality emissions 

factors because the data could not be 

adequately reviewed to determine 

representativeness. Imbedded quality 

assurance checks will perform some of 

the required method calculations, 

reducing errors in test reports. The 

system will perform statistical analyses 

routines to evaluate below detection 

limit data and outliers prior to 

performing the emissions factor 

calculations. The result will be a factor 

of the highest quality rating which is 

most representative for the source 

category. In addition, because the 

system relies upon electronically 

submitted data, it eliminates 

transcription errors in moving data from 

paper reports to data systems for 

analysis. These quality assurance checks 

and procedures will increase the 

accuracy of test report data, improve the 

overall quality of test data and lead to 

more accurate emissions factors and 

higher quality emissions inventories. 

These features benefit all users of the 

data. 

Air agencies could benefit from more 

streamlined and automated review of 

the electronically submitted data. For 

example, because the performance test 

data would be readily-available in a 

standard electronic format, air agencies 

would be able to review reports and 

data electronically rather than having to 

conduct a review of the reports and data 

manually. Having reports and associated 

data in electronic format will facilitate 

review through the use of software 

‘‘search’’ options, as well as the 

downloading and analyzing of data in 

spreadsheet format. Additionally, air 

agencies would benefit from the 

reported data being accessible to them 

through the EPA’s electronic reporting 

system wherever and whenever they 

want or need access (as long as they 

have access to the Internet). The ability 

to access and review air emission report 

information electronically will assist air 

agencies to more quickly and accurately 

determine compliance with the NSPS, 

potentially allowing a faster response to 

violations which could minimize 

harmful air emissions. This benefits 

both air agencies and the general public. 

The general public would also benefit 

from electronic reporting of emissions 

data because the data would be 

accessible more quickly and easily. The 

EPA Web site that stores the submitted 

electronic data, WebFIRE, will be easily 

accessible to the public and will provide 

a user-friendly interface that any 

stakeholder could access. 

The proposed electronic reporting of 

data is also consistent with electronic 

data trends (e.g., electronic banking and 

income tax filing). Electronic reporting 

of environmental data is already 

common practice in many media offices 

at the EPA; programs such as the Toxics 

Release Inventory (TRI), the Greenhouse 

Gas Reporting Program, Acid Rain and 

NOX Budget Trading Programs and the 

Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 

New Chemicals Program all require 

electronic submissions to the EPA. The 

changes being proposed today are 

needed to continue the EPA’s transition 

to electronic reporting. While we 

believe that it is unlikely that a facility 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
15110 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

will not be able to electronically report 

data due to lack of access to a computer 

and the Internet, either on its own site 

or through public means (e.g., a library), 

we are requesting comment on whether 

this assumption is incorrect, and, if so, 

whether we should have a provision 

that would allow facilities to submit 

reports in hard copy instead of 

electronically in these limited 

circumstances. 

B. Why is the EPA using a phased 

approach to implementing electronic 

reporting? 

Today’s proposal is part of a phased 

approach to implementing the 

electronic reporting of air emissions 

data. This approach builds on advances 

that have already been made in 

electronic reporting of air emissions 

data by adding a more comprehensive 

group of reports from more facilities 

while at the same time balancing data 

collection objectives with the 

practicalities of building a user-friendly 

reporting platform. 

The first phase included 

development, testing and refinement of 

the ERT, and, more recently, CEDRI, for 

use in selected air program rules and 

data collection efforts, resulting in the 

electronic submittal of a subset of 

performance test reports and 

performance evaluation reports. In a 

number of ICRs issued under section 

114 of the CAA over the past few years, 

the EPA has included requirements to 

report the results of performance tests 

using ERT generated files. In addition, 

over two dozen EPA air program rules 

(in 40 CFR parts 60 and 63) already 

require electronic submission of 

performance test, performance 

evaluation and/or other reports directly 

to CDX. See http://www.epa.gov/ttn/

chief/ert/ert_rules.html for a list of the 

promulgated rules under the CAA that 

require submission of these reports to 

the EPA’s CEDRI. As a result of using 

the ERT to submit test reports in 

response to ICRs and using the ERT and 

the CEDRI reporting platform to comply 

with regulatory requirements for 

electronic submission, users have 

become more proficient in electronic 

reporting, including collecting and 

compiling the data for such reports. In 

aggregate, the EPA has received over 

2,200 submittals electronically through 

CEDRI. 

Throughout this first phase, we 

continued to improve the ERT in 

response to comments from users who 

have first-hand experience with the 

ERT. We have made several changes to 

the ERT to ensure the completeness of 

data collected and improve ease in 

using the tool. For example, we have 

developed a template that extracts 

tagged data from a Microsoft Excel®

spreadsheet and inserts the data into the 

ERT to assist in making the input of data 

to the ERT easier and more efficient for 

those facilities that want to take 

advantage of this option. A discussion 

of other recent updates that have been 

made to the ERT can be found at http:// 

www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/

updatehistory.pdf. 

We also initiated a multi-disciplinary, 

cross-functional Integrated Project Team 

(IPT) during the first phase in the 

development of the CEDRI. The IPT 

included EPA personnel from various 

offices and representatives from air 

agencies. The objectives of the CEDRI 

IPT were to gain insight and ideas 

regarding the data flow process within 

the CEDRI. 

This proposal represents the second 

phase to implementing electronic 

reporting of air emissions data. It would 

expand the number and type of air 

emissions reports in NSPS rules 

required to be submitted electronically. 

In developing the second phase, we 

considered the extent to which we 

should expand the number of reports to 

be submitted to CDX through CEDRI, 

starting with the 40 CFR part 60 NSPS. 

We chose reports that are critical to 

ensuring that rule requirements are met 

by focusing on reports of air emissions 

data used by the EPA and other 

stakeholders to evaluate the emissions 

and performance of individual affected 

facilities. Another consideration was the 

process of developing the CEDRI 

platform to accommodate user access to 

upload and review such data. This effort 

requires resources to develop the 

platform, and we have chosen to 

prioritize the data to be collected to 

ensure that the platform will be effective 

in handling the reports addressed in this 

proposal. In the future, we would 

consider expanding the number and 

type of reports required to be submitted 

electronically to facilitate the electronic 

collection of additional air emissions 

data. 

C. How does this proposed action affect 

permits? 

As a general matter, and consistent 

with 40 CFR 70.2, any standard or other 

requirement under section 111 of the 

CAA is an applicable requirement for 

title V purposes. Sources subject to the 

NSPS affected by this proposed 

rulemaking that have title V operating 

permits will likely need to seek a 

revision to their permits once this rule 

is final or address this when their 

permit comes up for renewal, consistent 

with 40 CFR 70.7(f)(1)(i). In addition, 

there may be area sources that also need 

permit revisions (e.g., state operating 

permits); however, the discussion in 

this section will focus on major source 

title V operating permits. 

The title V implementing regulations 

found at 40 CFR parts 70 and 71, as well 

as state rules that are a part of stateapproved title V programs, require the 

revision of title V permits to include the 

types of changes described in this 

proposed rulemaking. Part 70 of 40 CFR 

provides three basic procedural 

mechanisms for amending or modifying 

title V permits: Administrative permit 

amendments described at 40 CFR 

70.7(d); minor permit modifications 

described at 40 CFR 70.7(e)(2); and 

significant modifications described at 40 

CFR 70.7(e)(4). Each of these provisions 

provides criteria regarding the 

availability of the different mechanisms. 

The rule changes being proposed today 

generally involve changes to the method 

of submittal of information already 

required to be submitted and reported. 

The EPA does not expect that the 

changes being proposed today are likely 

to involve significant changes to 

monitoring, reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements in existing title V permits. 

As a result, to the extent consistent with 

applicable state rules and the terms and 

conditions of the title V permit, we 

anticipate that permitting authorities 

would be able to implement the changes 

being proposed today through a minor 

modification to existing title V permits. 

Notably, depending on the timing 

associated with the permit renewal 

cycle, these changes could be completed 

as part of a permit renewal consistent 

with 40 CFR 70.7(f). The EPA recognizes 

that permitting authorities may have 

other suitable mechanisms for making 

the necessary changes available, such as 

group processing of certain types of 

revisions to title V operating permits. 

IV. Air Agency Delegated Authority 

Impacts 

The CAA allows the EPA to delegate 

the authority to implement and enforce 

NSPS to air agencies (CAA section 

111(c), 42 U.S.C. 7411(c)). Air agencies 

to which authority to implement and 

enforce the NSPS has been delegated 

routinely receive performance test 

reports, performance evaluation reports, 

summary reports, excess emission 

reports and other reports from industry 

as part of their compliance monitoring, 

enforcement and oversight 

responsibilities. In many cases, air 

agencies have their own rules in place 

to implement and enforce the federal 

rules, and these rules may require 

industry to submit these reports to them 

in hardcopy form (as is currently the 

case in the EPA rules). Air agency rules 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 15111 

may require additional, but associated, 

information in these reports. In 

addition, as provided in 40 CFR 60.4(b), 

some air agency delegation agreements 

create an exception for facilities in their 

jurisdiction to refrain from submitting 

reports to the EPA Regional Offices as 

otherwise required by 40 CFR 60.4(a). 

Under this proposed rule, this exception 

would not apply to electronic reports 

required to be submitted to CEDRI. 

Air agency delegations and reporting 

and recordkeeping procedures 

established by those agencies would be 

unaffected by this proposed rule as we 

are not proposing to change how 

agencies and their affected facilities 

currently interact. Air agencies will 

continue to require reports to be 

submitted in hardcopy form and records 

to be maintained in hardcopy form as 

they deem appropriate. However, we 

anticipate that some air agencies may 

choose to modify their current report 

submission requirements to accept those 

reports that are required to be submitted 

to the EPA electronically in lieu of the 

paper reports. In fact, we are aware of 

at least two air agencies that already 

require their facilities to use the ERT to 

electronically submit performance test 

reports to the air agency. To facilitate air 

agency access, air agency personnel who 

register for access to CEDRI will receive 

notifications when reports and 

associated data are submitted to the 

EPA’s CEDRI by affected facilities in 

their delegated areas. Air agencies 

would have full access to reports and 

associated data as soon as they are 

submitted, and would not have to 

purchase any new software or hardware 

to access this information. 

In general, we anticipate that many air 

agencies will choose to transition to the 

use of the electronic reports because of 

the numerous benefits associated with 

electronic reporting: 

• Streamlined and automated 

emissions data and report review 

potential. Access to data in a common 

electronic repository and format would 

allow air agencies to conduct standard 

automated data reviews that would 

ultimately streamline the time and steps 

that air agencies would need in their 

review of affected facility emissions 

data and reports. Air agencies could also 

require their facilities to provide air 

agency-required data that are routinely 

submitted with the NSPS-required 

reports, and the EPA reporting 

templates will be able to accommodate 

the additional air agency-required data. 

In this manner, air agencies that elect to 

receive reports through the EPA’s 

electronic reporting system can be 

assured of receiving the same 

information that they currently receive 

in paper reports submitted to them by 

affected facilities. 

• Readily-accessible data. Air 

agencies would be able to access reports 

and data submitted and available 

electronically on-line from anywhere 

and anytime that they can obtain access 

to the Internet. Additionally, electronic 

files can be downloaded and saved to a 

data drive or hard drive for quick access 

and use during facility site visits. Air 

agencies could develop data retrieval 

programs specific to their needs. 

• Federal repository/back-up system. 

Air agencies could be confident that the 

federal repository/back-up system 

would provide needed redundancy and 

security for submitted reports. 

• Decreased air agency storage space 

needed. Because the specified data and 

reports would be submitted to the EPA 

electronically and will be stored safely 

and available to all stakeholders at all 

times (including air agencies) and 

because facilities would be allowed to 

maintain an electronic copy of the 

specified data and reports, air agencies 

would have the option of not 

maintaining these reports in either 

hardcopy or electronic form. 

V. Impacts of Proposed Amendments 

We estimate total annualized savings 

for regulated facilities due to the 

proposed amendments to be 

approximately $300,000 per year. The 

estimate reflects a 7-percent discount 

rate and a 20-year annualization period. 

While we know there will also be a 

savings for air agencies and the EPA 

based upon the benefits described 

earlier in this preamble, we have not 

quantified these savings. The total 

annualized savings estimate reflects 

different assumptions for year 1, year 2 

and year 3 through year 20. This is 

because, in some cases, air agencies 

have their own rules that require hard 

copies of reports, and it would take time 

for those air agencies to transition (if 

they choose to) to the use of the EPA’s 

electronic reporting system for the 

reports being proposed to be submitted 

electronically to the EPA’s CDX. Thus, 

we have the transition from paper to 

electronic reporting drawn out to 3 

years for those air agencies that adopt 

the EPA’s electronic reporting 

requirements, in order to provide the 

time it would take to update permit 

requirements and create or change air 

agency reporting rules, where necessary. 

We assume that air agencies would 

continue to require submission of 

reports in hardcopy form to satisfy air 

agency reporting requirements in years 

1 and 2 because the air agencies would 

not yet have had time to update 

reporting requirements. There is an 

initial cost associated with this rule 

because hardcopy and electronic reports 

may both be required during this time 

period, there is a learning curve 

associated with the use of our electronic 

system and data need to be entered 

initially which will be automatically 

populated in future reports. We estimate 

the cost of this rule for regulated 

facilities to be $6,010,000 for the first 

year and $4,980,000 for the second year. 

We assume that beginning in year 3, the 

air agencies will have had time to 

update reporting requirements as 

necessary so that hardcopy reports 

addressed by this proposal will no 

longer be required to be submitted to the 

air agencies for those air agencies that 

opt to review submitted reports through 

the EPA’s electronic reporting system. 

Because only electronic reports will be 

required by this proposed rule, facilities 

will be familiar with the system, and 

initial data will already be populated in 

the system, we estimate that there will 

be a cost savings of approximately 

$1,460,000 for every year starting in 

year 3. For facilities where the air 

agency is not opting to view reports 

through the EPA’s electronic reporting 

system, the system is being built such 

that the report will be able to be printed 

by the facility. The facility will then be 

able to mail the printed report to the air 

agency, if the air agency will accept the 

printed report in lieu of any otherwise 

required paper report. While there will 

be some extra burden associated with 

printing and mailing the report, we 

assume that the burden will be equal to 

or less than the current burden 

associated with submitting hardcopy 

reports and, therefore, equal to or less 

than the savings associated with 

entering the data electronically. 

For each of the three time periods 

(i.e., year 1, year 2 and year 3 through 

year 20), Table 4 (in section VI of this 

preamble) provides a summary of the 

number of each type of report submitted 

and the total labor time and savings that 

would accrue. The following section 

briefly discusses the data used in 

calculating each component. For 

additional details on the calculations, 

please refer to the ‘‘Electronic Reporting 

and Recordkeeping Requirements for 

NSPS Rule Estimate 09–17–2013 

includes Part 60.xlsx’’ worksheet 

located in the docket. 

To estimate costs and savings 

associated with annual electronic 

submittal of source performance test 

reports, the agency compiled data on the 

total number of source performance 

tests required annually by 40 CFR part 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
15112 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

8The data are found in the following worksheet 

in the docket—ERRR Rule EIA ICR Data Part 

60.xlsx. 9The 50-percent labor savings assumes an 

existing source performance test file can be reused 

and already contains about 50 percent of required 

data. The 25-percent labor savings assumes about 

25-percent of the required data is in existing 

databases and will not need to be submitted a 

second time. 

10The labor rates used in the analysis can be 

found at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/

ecec.pdf, Table 9, Management, Professional and 

Related Occupations. 

60 and its respective subparts.8 The 

total number of source performance test 

reports submitted annually is estimated 

to be 1,393. Because most NSPS do not 

require more than one source 

performance test per year, to calculate 

the annualized costs, we assessed the 

number of facilities and the number of 

stack tests that were included under 

ICRs (managed by the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs 

(OIRA), OMB). 

To estimate costs and savings 

associated with periodic reports, we 

compiled data on the total number of 

summary report and excess emission 

report submittals through a review of 40 

CFR part 60 ICRs. The estimated 

number of periodic reports submitted 

each year is 17,612. 

In year 3 through year 20, we assume 

that written reports are no longer 

required by approximately 75 percent of 

the air agencies and that there is labor 

savings associated with only requiring 

electronic report submittal. This 

estimate is based on data collected from 

the IPT, a multi-disciplinary, crossfunctional team that included EPA 

personnel from various offices and 

representatives from air agencies. Due to 

the ability of the electronic reporting 

system to access existing information in 

previously submitted reports, we 

assume that there is a 50-percent labor 

savings associated with electronically 

submitting source performance test 

reports, and we assume a 25-percent 

labor savings associated with 

electronically submitting periodic 

reports.9

We aggregated the labor costs and 

savings and annualized the totals over a 

20-year period using a 7-percent 

discount rate; we estimated total 

annualized savings for this proposed 

rule to be approximately $300,000 per 

year for regulated facilities. We used 

labor rates from the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics and selected a rate for the 

Management, Professional and Related 

Occupations category; we adjusted the 

rate upward by 67 percent to reflect 

overhead.10

a Memo from Robin Langdon, EPA/OAR/OAQPS/AEG to Colin Boswell, EPA/OAR/OAQPS/MPG. Economic Impact Analysis for the Electronic 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for NSPS Rule. September 25, 2014. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Additional information about these 

statutes and Executive Orders can be 

found at http://www2.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders. 

A. Executive Orders 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action is not a significant 

regulatory action and was therefore not 

submitted to OMB for review. 

An analysis of the potential costs and 

benefits associated with this action is 

contained in the Economic Impact 

Analysis for Electronic Reporting and 

Recordkeeping Requirements for NSPS 

Rule.11 This document addresses the 

economic impacts of the Electronic 

Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Requirements for New Source 

Performance Standards Rule. We 

estimated the total annualized savings 

for this proposed rule to be 

approximately $300,000 per year. 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

This action does not impose any new 

information collection burden under the 

PRA. OMB has previously approved the 

information collection activities 

contained in the existing regulations 

being amended with this action and this 

action does not involve the collection of 

any new information. Specifically, the 

purpose of this rule is to require that 

some targeted reports currently required 

to be submitted in hardcopy form to 

both the EPA and the delegated 

authority be submitted electronically to 

the EPA. While some delegation 

agreements have excepted hardcopy 

reporting to the EPA and this rule will 

not allow such exceptions for electronic 

reporting, the reports that would be 

submitted electronically in response to 

these proposed amendments contain the 

same data elements currently required 

by the affected NSPS to be submitted in 

hardcopy form to the air agencies. More 

importantly, these proposed 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
15116 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

amendments would neither require 

additional reports nor require that 

additional content be added to already 

required reports. Therefore, this action 

would not impose any new information 

collection burden. Further, electronic 

reporting would reduce costs associated 

with information collection and, thus, 

compliance costs in the long-term. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

I certify that this action will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the RFA. In making this 

determination, the impact of concern is 

any significant adverse economic 

impact on small entities. An agency may 

certify that a rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities if 

the rule relieves regulatory burden, has 

no net burden or otherwise has a 

positive economic effect on the small 

entities subject to the rule. As described 

in section V of this preamble, 

implementation of this rule would 

result in savings of $300,000 per year 

due to reduced reporting burden. We 

have, therefore, concluded that this 

action will relieve regulatory burden for 

all directly regulated small entities. We 

continue to be interested in the 

potential impacts of this proposed rule 

on small entities and welcome 

comments on issues related to such 

impacts. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain an 

unfunded mandate of $100 million or 

more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 

1531–1538, and does not significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments. The 

action imposes no enforceable duty on 

any state, local or tribal governments or 

the private sector. 

State, local or tribal governments will 

not be required to change the way that 

they interact with their facilities, unless 

they choose to do so. The only action 

required on the part of state, local or 

tribal governments is to update 

permitting requirements to reflect the 

electronic reporting provisions. We 

expect this to be a minimal burden, as 

most of these updates can be done 

during the permit renewal process. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. It will not have substantial 

direct effects on the states, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the states or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

Although section 6 of Executive Order 

13132 does not apply to this proposed 

action, the EPA did consult with state 

and local officials representing air 

agencies in developing this action. In 

discussions with personnel in some air 

agencies and representatives for air 

agencies such as the National 

Association of Clean Air Agencies 

(NACAA), Association of Air Pollution 

Control Agencies (AAPCA) and 

Northeast States for Coordinated Air 

Use Management (NESCAUM) regarding 

this proposed rulemaking, they raised 

the issue of whether this proposal 

would change their delegated authority 

to implement and enforce federal air 

regulations (including NSPS). 

Specifically, air agencies expressed a 

concern about how this action would 

affect how they receive performance test 

reports and other air emissions data 

reports targeted by this action. 

This action would not affect an air 

agency’s delegated authority, and air 

agencies would continue to receive 

reports directly from affected facilities 

in whatever format they require. The 

major difference is that air agencies 

would also have access to reports being 

proposed to be submitted to the EPA 

electronically through the EPA’s CDX 

and WebFIRE, and would have the 

option of not receiving these reports 

directly from affected facilities. Because 

the proposed amendments do not 

interfere with the air agencies’ authority 

or how they currently receive reports, 

we have addressed the concerns 

regarding the air agencies’ authority and 

ability to implement and enforce the 

subject federal air regulations. 

We initiated a multi-disciplinary, 

cross-functional IPT during the 

development of the CEDRI that included 

EPA personnel from various offices and 

representatives from air agencies. The 

objectives of the CEDRI IPT were to gain 

insight and ideas regarding the data 

flow process within the CEDRI. 

In the spirit of Executive Order 13132, 

and consistent with EPA policy to 

promote communications between the 

EPA and state and local governments, 

the EPA specifically solicits comment 

on this proposed action from state and 

local officials. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications, as specified in Executive 

Order 13175. It would not have 

substantial direct effects on tribal 

governments, on the relationship 

between the federal government and 

Indian tribes or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

federal government and Indian tribes, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175. 

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 

apply to this action. Nonetheless, to 

promote meaningful involvement, the 

EPA held a conference call with 

representatives from tribes on November 

29, 2012, to discuss details of the 

proposed amendments. Further tribal 

and public input is expected through 

public comment on the proposed 

amendments. The EPA specifically 

solicits additional comment on the 

proposed action from tribal officials. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045 as applying only to those 

regulatory actions that concern 

environmental health or safety risks that 

the EPA has reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it does not concern an 

environmental health risk or safety risk. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

This rulemaking does not involve 

technical standards. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

The EPA believes the human health or 

environmental risk addressed by this 

action will not have potential 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on minority, low-income or indigenous 

populations because it does not affect 

the level of protection provided to 

human health or the environment. 

Specifically, requiring the electronic 

submission of reports that are currently 

required to be submitted in hardcopy 

format would not affect the level of 

protection provided to human health or 

the environment. On the contrary, we 

expect electronic reporting to increase 

complete, accurate and timely submittal 

of data which will, in turn, improve the 

protection of public health and the

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 60 

Environmental protection, Air 

pollution control, Hazardous 

substances, Reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements. 

Dated: February 26, 2015. 

Gina McCarthy, 

Administrator. 

For the reasons stated in the 

preamble, title 40, chapter I, of the Code 

of Federal Regulations is proposed to be 

amended as follows: 

PART 60—STANDARDS OF 

PERFORMANCE FOR NEW 

STATIONARY SOURCES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 60 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq. 

Subpart A—General Provisions 

■ 2. Section 60.4 is amended by revising 

paragraphs (a) introductory text and (b) 

introductory text to read as follows: 

§ 60.4 Address. 

(a) All requests, reports, applications, 

submittals, and other communications 

to the Administrator pursuant to this 

part shall be submitted in duplicate to 

the appropriate Regional Office of the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

to the attention of the Director of the 

Division indicated in the following list 

of EPA Regional Offices. If a request, 

report, application, submittal, or other 

communication is required by this part 

to be submitted electronically via the 

EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX) 

then such submission satisfies the 

requirements of this paragraph. 

* * * * * 

(b) Section 111(c) directs the 

Administrator to delegate to each State, 

when appropriate, the authority to 

implement and enforce standards of 

performance for new stationary sources 

located in such State. Indian tribes 

which have obtained treatment in the 

same manner as a state (TAS) for that 

purpose may also be delegated such 

authority. All information required in 

this part to be submitted to the EPA, 

must also be submitted in paper format 

to the appropriate State or Tribal 

Agency of any State or Tribe to which 

this authority has been delegated (the 

delegated authority) unless the 

delegated authority specifies another 

format. Information submitted in paper 

format must be postmarked no later than 

the date that the report is required to be 

submitted to the EPA’s CDX 

electronically. Any information required 

to be submitted electronically by this 

part via the EPA’s CDX may, at the 

discretion of the delegated authority, 

satisfy the requirements of this 

paragraph. Each specific delegation may 

exempt sources from certain Federal or 

State reporting requirements under this 

part, with the exception of Federal 

electronic reporting requirements under 

this part. Sources may not be exempted 

from Federal electronic reporting 

requirements. If the electronic reporting 

form for the subpart of interest is not 

available in the Compliance and 

Emissions Data Reporting Interface 

(CEDRI) at the time that the report is 

due, the owner or operator must submit 

the report to the Administrator at the 

appropriate address listed in this 

section. The owner or operator must 

begin submitting reports via CEDRI no 

later than 90 days after the form 

becomes available in CEDRI. All reports 

must be submitted by the deadline 

specified in the subpart of interest, 

regardless of the method in which the 

report is submitted. The appropriate 

mailing address for those States whose 

delegation requests have been approved 

is as follows: * * * 

■ 3. Section 60.7 is amended by revising 

paragraph (c) introductory text and 

adding paragraph (i) to read as follows: 

§ 60.7 Notification and record keeping. 

* * * * * 

(c) Each owner or operator required to 

install a continuous monitoring device 

shall submit excess emissions and 

monitoring systems performance report 

(excess emissions are defined in 

applicable subparts) and-or summary 

report form (see paragraph (d) of this 

section) to the Administrator 

semiannually, except when: More 

frequent reporting is specifically 

required by an applicable subpart; or the 

Administrator, on a case-by-case basis, 

determines that more frequent reporting 

is necessary to accurately assess the 

compliance status of the source. Unless 

otherwise specified by an applicable 

subpart, each owner or operator shall 

submit reports required by this 

paragraph to the EPA via the 

Compliance and Emissions Data 

Reporting Interface (CEDRI). (CEDRI can 

be accessed through the EPA’s Central 

Data Exchange (CDX) (https://

cdx.epa.gov/).) The owner or operator 

shall use the appropriate electronic 

report in CEDRI for this subpart or an 

alternate electronic file format 

consistent with the extensible markup 

language (XML) schema listed on the 

CEDRI Web site (http://www.epa.gov/

ttn/chief/cedri/index.html). If the 

reporting form specific to this subpart is 

not available in CEDRI at the time that 

the report is due, the owner or operator 

shall submit the report to the

adopted by such state. In that event, 

affected sources within the state will be 

relieved of obligation to comply with 

paragraph (b) of this section, provided 

that they comply with the requirements 

established by the state. Electronic 

reporting to the EPA cannot be waived, 

and as such, the provisions of this 

paragraph do not relieve owners or 

operators of affected facilities of the 

requirement to submit the electronic 

reports required in this section to the 

EPA.
