Page **8** of **88** rule issued by the EPA on February 16, 2012 . Through an August 2, 2012, notice (77 FR 45967), the EPA delayed the effective date of the February 2012 rule for new sources only . That stay
was limited to 90 days and has since expired. The February 2012 final rule is and remains in effect for all sources . The November 30, 2012, proposed reconsideration rule proposed: (1) certain revised new source numerical standards in the MATS NESHAP , (2) requirements applicable during periods of startup and shutdown in the MATS NESHAP , (3) startup and shutdown provisions rel ated to the particulate matter ( PM ) standard in the Utility NSPS, and (4) definitional and monitoring provisions in the Utility NSPS. We also propos ed certain technical corrections to both the MATS NESHAP and the Utility NSPS . We are taking final action today on the revised numerical new source MATS NESHAP limits, the definitional and monitoring issues in the Utility NSPS, and most of the technical corrections. This summary of the final rule reflects the changes to 40 CFR Part 63, subpart UUUUU, and 40 CFR Part 60, subpart Da ( 77 FR 9304; February 16, 2012 ) made in this regard . As noted above, i n the proposed reconsideration rule, the EPA took comment on the requirements in the MATS NESHAP*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **9** of **88** applicable during startup and shutdown , including the definitions of startup and shutdown. The EPA also took comment on the startup and shutdown provisions relating to the PM standard in the Utility NSPS. The EPA received considerable comments regarding these startup and shutdown provisions, i ncluding data and information relevant to the proposed work practice standard that applies in such periods . The EPA is not taking final action on these issues at this time as it needs additional time to consider and evaluate the comments and data provided. 1 As described below, on the basis of information and data provided since the reconsideration proposal, today ’ s action revises certain new source numerical limits in the MATS NESHAP . Specifically, the EPA is finalizing revised hydrogen chloride (HCl), filterable PM (fPM), 2 sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), lead (Pb), and selenium emission limits for all new coal - fired EGUs ; the mercury (Hg) emission limit for the “ unit designed for coal > 8,300 Btu/lb subcategory ; ” fPM, and SO 2 emission limits for new solid oil - der ived fuel - fired EGUs; fPM emission limits for new

This action also modifies the new source emissions averaging calculations and changes the advance notification period for performance testing to 30 days. These final changes incorporate information about the variability of emission controls on the best performing EGUs and more accurately reflect the capabilities of emission control equipment for new EGU s and should address commenter s ’ concerns that vendors of EGU emission controls had been unwilling to provide guarantees regarding the ability to mee t all of the standards for new EGU s as originally finalized in February 2012 . In the Utility NSPS, the EPA re -proposed and requested comment on the definition of natural gas included in the February 2012 final Utility NSPS rule. That definition was included in the reconsideration proposal to address a reconsideration request claiming an inadequate opportunity to comment on the final definition (which had been revised based on comments received on the proposed Utility NSPS) , which excludes*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **13** of **88** coal - de rived synthetic natural gas. Based on review of the comments, the EPA has concluded that the definition in the final Utility NSPS is appropriate. We are also finalizing as proposed several additional conforming amendments. First, the definition of coal is amended so that coal - derived synthetic natural gas will meet the definition. In addition, the opacity and SO 2 monitoring provision have been amended so that facilities burning desulfurized coal - derived synthetic natural gas will have similar opacity and SO 2 monitoring requirements as facilities burning natural gas. Additional amendments include finalizing as proposed the revised procedures for calculating PM emission rates so that the MATS NESHAP and Utility NSPS procedures will be consistent. Finally, we a re finalizing as proposed the technical corrections to the PM standard for facilities that commenced construction before March 1, 2005, and to correct the PM standard for facilities that commence modification after May 3, 2011. The impacts of today ’ s revis ions on the costs and the benefits of the final rule are minor . We expect that source owners and operators will install and operate the same or similar control technologies to meet the revised standards in this action as they would have chosen to comply wi th the*** E.O. 12866 Review

Summary of**  **Final Action and Changes Since Proposal**  **– MATS**  **NESHAP New Source Issues**  After consideration of the public comments received, the EPA has made certain changes in this final action from the reconsideration proposal. Most are changes to clarify applicability and address implementation issues raised by the commenter s. We address the most significant comments in this preamble. However for a complete summary of the comments received on the issues we are finalizing today and our responses thereto, please refer to the memorandum “National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air Pollutants From Coal - And Oil - Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units

– Reconsideration ; Summary Of Public Comments And Responses ” (March 2013) in rulemaking docket EPA- HQ- OAR- 2009 - 0234 . In this action , we are finalizing certain new source emission limits for the MATS NESHAP , as discussed below. 1. Changes to Certain New Source MATS NESHAP Limits Commenters noted that in two instances, Pb emissions from coal - fired EGUs and the fPM emissions from continental liquid*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **15** of **88** oil - fired EGUs, the EPA had proposed new source emission limits that were less stringent than those in the final MATS NESHAP for the respective existing sources. This approach was inconsistent with that taken in the final MATS NESHAP . 4 Although CAA section 112(d)(3) allows existing source MACT floor l imits to be less stringent than new source limits, the EPA interprets this provision as precluding new source limits from being less stringent than existing source limits. See CAA section 112(d)(3). Further, in this specific instance, the data support setting the new source limit being equivalent to the existing source limit. Thus, the EPA is finalizing new source limits that are equivalent to the final existing- source limits. Commenters noted that when evaluating SO 2 emissions data from coal - fired EGUs, the EPA had not selected the lowest emitting source upon which to base the emission limit and that its rationale for excluding certain data was unlawful and arbitrary. Although the EPA disagrees with commenter s on several of the excluded data sets ( i.e., some of the data sets suggested by commenter s comprised only a single 3 - run average for each EGU

4 See “ National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Floor Analysis for Coal - and Oil -fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units for Final Rule ,” Docket ID EPA- HQ- OAR- 2009 - 0234 - 20132 , p. 13 .*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **16** of **88** with no individual run data , making assessment of variability impossible) , it agrees that it inadvertentl y omitted the data from Stanton Unit 10 in the proposal analyses. Stanton Unit 10 does have a lower “ lowest ” 3 - run data average than does the EGU selected for the new source analysis (Sandow Unit 5A) in the proposed reconsideration rule . In this final action , the EPA used the Stanton data to calculate the MACT floor using the same statistical analyses used in the proposed rule (i.e., 99 percent upper predictive limit (UPL)), and the resulting MACT floor emission limit is 1.3 pounds per megawatt -hour ( lb /MWh ) . Because this limit is less stringent than the new source performance standard (NSPS) finalized in the Utility NSPS (77 FR 9451; February 16, 2012) , the EPA is finalizing a beyond- the - floor (BTF) MACT standard of 1.0 lb/MWh , which is the same level required by the CAA section 111 NSPS for these same sources. See 40 CFR 60.43Da(l)(1)(i) . As cost is a required consideration in establishing CAA section 111 rules and in going BTF in establishing CAA section 112 rules, we are adopting the cost evaluation o f the NSPS . I n any case, because the NSPS limit is in place and all new source coal - fired EGU s will be required to comply with that limit , there is no*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **17** of **88** additional cost to these sources . 5 Furthermore, we have not identif ied any non - air quality health or environmental impacts or energy requirements associated with the final standard set at this level. For these reasons, we are finalizing 1.0 lb/MWh as the new source MATS NESHAP limit, which is the same limit required for SO 2 emissions from for new coal - fired EGUs under the Utility NSPS. The CAA section 111 standard is based on the performance of EGUs with the best performing SO 2 controls, a reasonable incremental cost effectiveness of less than $1,000 per ton of SO 2 controlled, and controls that result in minimal secondary environmental and energy impacts. In the proposed reconsideration rule, we indicated that detection level issues may arise from using a sorbent trap when short sampling periods (e.g., 30 minutes) a re used . As such, the EPA solicited comment on its establishment of a Representative Detection Level (RDL) associated with Hg sorbent traps. The EPA also solicited comment on whether the UPL calculated floor should be compared against the 3XRDL value to ac count for the shorter sampling periods (the 3XRDL approach). The EPA received several comments, ranging from strong support for the Hg RDL and

Page **18** of **88** the proposed emission limit because, at that level, the commenters asserted that vendors would be able to provide commercial guarantees, to concerns about the specific inputs to the 3XRDL calculation and the application of the 3xRDL approach. See section 2.2.1 of the response to comments document ( RTC ) for a more complete discussion and response to these comments. I n the proposed reconsideration rule, the EPA recognized that 30 minutes of sample collection is the shortest reasonable amount of time available for collecting and changing sorbent tubes to provide the quick, reliable feedback that will allow sources to re act to changing Hg emissions levels and assure compliance with the final Hg limit. Some commenter s pointed out that the EPA ’ s memorandum entitled “ Determination of Representative Detection Level (RDL) and 3 X RDL Values for Mercury Measured Using Sorbent Trap Technologies, ” 6 contains a 30 -minute sample collection time in the 3XRDL calculation, but the text of the memorandum references a 20 -minute sample collection time. The EPA has revised the text of the memorandum to reflect its original intent, which wa s to focus on a sample collection period of 30 minutes (not 20 minutes) . The revised

Page **19** of **88** memorandum focuses on the 30 -minute sample collection period. Given that it takes 5 minutes for sorbent trap insertion and removal, it would take a total of 40 minutes to secure the requisite sample collection (30 minutes for sample collection, 5 minutes to remove the sorbent trap, and 5 minutes to re - insert the trap). 2 . Filterable PM Testing, Monitoring , and Compliance Certification for New EGUs in the MATS NESHAP Rule S everal monitoring options for the f PM standard for new
sources were provided in the MATS NESHAP final rule, including quarterly stack testing, PM CEMS, and PM CPMS with annual testing . The EPA sought comment on whether to retain the quarterly stack testing compliance option for new EGUs, given that continuous, direct measurement of fPM or a correlated parameter is available , is preferable for determining compliance on a continuous basis, and is likely to be used by most new EGUs to monitor compliance with the proposed new source standards . As mentioned in section 4.1 of the RTC, this final action does not retain the quarterly f PM performance testing option for new EGUs . New EGUs can be designed to incorporate PM CEMS or PM CPMS from the outset , without being impeded by retrofit location*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **20** of **88** installation constraints that could impact existing EGUs . This final action now requires new sources to use either PM CEMS or PM CPMS as options for determining compliance with the new source PM limits ; data from the PM CEMS o r PM CPMS are suitable to provide air operating permit compliance certifications . The EPA requested comment on a number of issues associated with PM CPMS. The EPA identified three approaches to establish an operating limit based on emissions testing for those EGU owners or operators who choose to use PM CPMS as the means of demonstrating compliance with the fPM emission limit. The first approach, which was proposed and which was contained in the final MATS NESHAP rule, would require an EGU owner or operator to use the highest parameter value obtained during any run of an individual emissions test as the operating limit, provided that the result of that individual emissions test met the emission limit. The second approach would require an EGU owner or operator to use the average parameter value obtained from all runs of an individual emissions test as the operating limit, provided that the result of the individual emissions test met the emissions limit. The third app roach, which the EPA is finalizing in this final action, would require an EGU owner or operator to use the higher of a parameter scaled from all values*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **21** of **88** obtained during an individual emissions test to 75 percent of the emissions limit or the average parameter value obtained from all runs of an individual emissions test as the operating limit, provided that the result of the individual emissions test met the emissions limit. As established and reaffirmed in the recent Sewage Sludge Incineration, Major Source Industrial Boiler, and Portland Cement rules , 7 increased operational flexibility and reduced emissions testing are available for those sources which emit at or below 75 percent of a standard

– whether an emissions or operating limit. Reduced emissions test ing is available in this rule for those owners or operators whose EGU emissions do not exceed this 75 percent threshold. The EPA recognizes that adherence to this 75 percent threshold allows for compliance flexibility and is simultaneously protective of the emission standards . The EPA believes well performing EGUs, i.e., those
whose emissions do not exceed 75 percent of the emissions limit,

Page **22** of **88** should not face additional scrutiny or testing consequences provided their emissions remain equivalent to or below the 75 percent threshold. In this final action, the EPA uses the 75 percent threshold so as not to impose unintended and costly retest requirements for the lowest emitting sources and to provide for more cost effective, continuous, PM parametric monitoring across the EGU sector. This approach was selected from the options considered as it provides the greatest amount of EGU owner or operator flexibility while demonstrating continuous compliance for EGUs. With this parametric monitoring approach in place , the EPA expect s EGUs t o evaluate control options that provide excellent PM emissions control and provide them greater operational flexibility below the standard. Moreover, after each exceedance of the operating limit, the EPA proposed to require emissions testing to verify or re - adjust the operating limit, consistent with the approach contained in the recently-promulgated Portland cement MACT standard (see 78 FR 10014). Although one commenter objected to potential frequent emissions testing to reas sess the operating limit and then being subject to a violation of the emissions limit, as mentioned in section 4.3.5 of the RTC, the EPA believes well - designed emissions testing will provide an operating limit corresponding*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **23** of **88** with EGU operation ; such testing should yield an operating limit that would not be expected to be exceeded during the course of EGU operation. Therefore, an operating limit developed from well - designed emissions testing should have little, if any, need for frequent reassessment via emissions testing less frequently than the mandated annual reassessment because the source will be able to meet the limit on an ongoing basis . Finally, the EPA proposed that PM CPMS exceedances leading to more than 4 required emissions tests in a 12 -month period would be presumed (subject to the possibility of rebuttal by the EGU owner or operator) to be a violation of the emissions limit, consistent with the approach contained in the newly-promulgated Portland cement MACT standard (see 78 FR 10014). The EPA considered the comments opposing this approach, but disagre e s with those comments. The discussion in the Portland cement preamble on this topic (see 78 FR 10020) is relevant here. The EPA may permissibly establish such an approach by rule, assuming there is a reasonable factual basis to do so. See Hazardous Waste Treatment Council v. EPA , 886 F. 2d 355, 367

Page **24** of **88** the presumption that four exceedances (i.e. , increases over the parametric operating limit) in a calendar year are a violation of the emission standard. The parametric monitoring limit is established as a 30 - day average of the averaged test value in the performance test, or the 75 th percentile value if that is higher. In either instance, the 30 - day averaging feature provides significant leeway to the EGU owner or operator not to deviate from the parametric operat ing level because use of the hourly values collected during 30 boiler operating days will significantly dampen variability in the single measurement (average of three test runs) that produced the parametric value. See 77 FR 42377/2 and sources there cited. As described in section 4.3.5 of the RTC, this final action includes the presumption of violation of the emissions limit if more than 4 emissions tests are required in a 12 -month period. **V. Summary of**  **Final Action and Changes Since Proposal**  **– Utility**  **NSPS** The EPA has made a number of changes from the proposal in this final action after consideration of the public comments received.

“ Summary of EGU NSPS Public Comments and Responses on Amendments Proposed November 30, 2012 (77 FR 71323) ” in rulemaking docket EPA- HQ- OAR- 2011 - 0044 . In the proposed reconsideration rule, the EPA proposed a new definition for IGCC which would be consistent with the MATS NESHAP definition . However, as an alternative we also specifically requested comment on whether to retain a definition similar to the IGCC definition in the February 2012 final Utility NSPS. The alternate definition based on the current definition is consistent with the Agency’s statements on IGCC
contained in the RTC in support of the final rule published on February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9304). Commenters generally supported amending the final Utility NSPS definition, and this final action amends that definition consistent with the statements made in the RTC for the Utility NSPS. The EPA has concluded that in this specific situation it is appropriate to have different definitions in the Utility NSPS and MATS NESHAP. The Utility NSPS definition deals with the intent of an IGCC facility . The facility would st ill be subject to the same criteria pollutant emission standards even when burning natural gas for extended periods of time. The MATS NESHAP applicability is determined by*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **26** of **88** specific operating parameters and is not applicable to EGUs when burning natural gas . The EPA proposed that the NSPS PM monitoring procedures be consistent with the MATS NESHAP requirements and included the use of quarterly stack testing, PM CPMS, or PM CEMS. In addition, the EPA sought comment on whether to retain the quarterly stack tes ting compliance option for new EGUs, given that continuous, direct measurement of PM or a correlated parameter is available. EGUs complying with an output -based emissions standard can be designed to incorporate PM CEMS or PM CPMS from the outset, without being impeded by retrofit location installation constraints that would impact existing EGUs. This final action requires EGUs complying with an output -based standard to use either PM CEMS or PM CPMS as options for determining compliance with the PM limits. Therefore, the EPA is finalizing the same monitoring procedures for PM for the Utility NSPS as for the MATS NESHAP , and is removing the quarterly stack testing option . The EPA proposed that facilities using PM CPMS would be able to use either a continuous opacity monitoring system or a periodic alternate monitoring approach to monitor opacity. This final action does not require facilities using a PM CPMS to*** E.O. 12866 Review

The EPA has concluded that the use of a PM CPMS at the emissions standard required in subpart Da is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the opacity standard and that additional monitoring is an unnecessary burden. **VI. Technical Correct ions and Clarifications**  On April 19, 2012 (77 FR 23399), the EPA issued a technical corrections notice addressing certain corrections to the February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9304) , MATS NESHAP and Utility NSPS . In the November 30, 2012 , reconsideration proposal , we propos ed several additional technical corrections. Specific to the NSPS, we proposed correcting the PM standard for facilities that commenced construction before March 1, 2005, to remove the extra significant digit that was inadvertently added and to co rrect the PM standard for facilities that commence modification after May 3, 2011, to be consistent with the original intent as expressed in the RTC of the final rule published on February 16, 2012 ( 77 FR 9304 ). We did not receive any negative comments on these issues and are finalizing them as proposed. Specific details are included in Table 3. Specific to the MATS NESHAP, the EPA requested comment on whether the proposed technical corrections in Table 4 of the preamble provide the intended accuracy, clari ty, and*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **28** of **88** consistency. As mentioned in section 6.3 of the RTC, commenter s supported the proposed changes on equations 2a and 3a and th is final action contains those changes. As mentioned in section 6.3 of the RTC, commenter s did not support the change from a 30 to 60 day notification period for performance testing, and that change was not made to the rule; however, a change to the General Provisions applicability table was made to provide a consistent 30 - day notification period. Commenters suggested changes t o certain definitions to make them more consistent with the Acid Rain rule provisions, but as described in section 6.4 of the RTC, these rule changes were not made. These amendments
are now being finalized to correct inaccuracies and other inadvertent errors in the final rule and to make the rule language consistent with provisions addressed through this reconsideration. The final technical changes are described in tables 3 and 4 of this preamble. TABLE 3 .

Impacts of this Final**  **Rule Summary of Emissions Impacts, Costs and Benefits**  Our analysis shows that new EGUs would choose to install and operate the same or similar air pollution control technologies in order to meet the revised emission limits as would have been necessary to meet the previously finalized standards . We project that this final action will result in no significant change in costs, emission reductions, or benefits. 8 Even if there were changes in costs for these EGUs, such changes would likely be small relative to both the overall costs of the individual projects and the overall costs and benefits of the final rule. Further, we believe that EGUs would put on the same controls for this final action that they would have for the original final MATS rule , so there should not be any incremental costs related to this revision.

Page **32** of **88** A. What are the air impacts ? We believe that electric power companies will install the
same or similar control technologies to comply with the final standards in this action as they would have installed to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards. Accordingly, we believe that this final action will not result in significant changes in emissions of any of the regulated pollutants. B. What are the energy impacts ? This final action is not anticipated to have an effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. As previously stated, we believe that electric power companies would install the same or similar control technologies as they would have installed to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards. C. What are the compliance costs ? We believe there will be no significant change in compliance costs as a result of this final action because electric power companies would install the same or similar control technologies as they would have installed to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards. Moreover, we find no additional monitoring costs are necessary to comply with th is final action ; however, as in any other rule, EGU owners or*** E.O. 12866 Review

Because we expect that electric power compani es would install the same or similar control technologies to meet the standards finalized in this action as they would have chosen to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards, we do not anticipate that this final action will result in significant changes in emissions, energy impacts, costs, benefits, or economic impacts. Likewise, we believe this action will not have any impacts on the price of electricity, employment or labor markets, or the U . S . economy. E. What are the benefits of the final st andards ? As previously stated, the EPA anticipates the power sector will not incur significant compliance costs or savings as a result of this action and we do not anticipate any significant emission changes resulting from this action . Therefore, there
are no direct monetized benefits or disbenefits associated with this action . **VIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews** A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **34** of **88** Review Under Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735 ; October 4, 1993), this action is a “ significant regulatory action ” because it “ raises novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates. ” Accordingly, the EPA submitted this action to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821 ; January 21, 2011) and any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket for this action. In addition, the EPA prepared an analysis of the potential costs and benefits associated with this action. This analysis is contained in the “ Economic Impact Analysis for the Final Reconsideration of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards ” found in rulemaking docket EPA- HQ- OAR- 2009 - 0234. Because our anal ysis shows that new electricity generating units would choose to install the same control technology in order to meet the revised emission limits as would have been necessary to meet the previously finalized MATS standards , we project that this action will result in no significant change in costs, emission reductions, or benefits. B. Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not impose any new information collection*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **35** of **88** burden. Today ’ s action does not change the information collection requirements previously finalized and, as a result, does not impose any additional burden on industry. However, OMB has previously approved the information collection requirements contained in the existing regulations (see 77 FR 9304) under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq . and has assigned OMB control number 2060 - 0567). The OMB control numbers for EPA ’ s regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small not - for -profit enterprises, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of today ’ s action on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) a small business as defined by the Small Business Administration ’ s (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental*** E.O. 12866 Review

Categories and entities potentially regulated by the final rule with applicable NAICS
codes are provided in the Supplementary Information section of this action. According to the SBA size standards for NAICS code 221122 Utilities - Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation, a firm is small if, including its affiliates, it is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission, and or distribution of electric energy for sale and its total electric output for the preceding fiscal year did not exceed 4 million MWh. After considering the economic impacts of today ’ s action on small entities, I certify that the notice will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The EPA has determined that none of the small entities will experience a significant impact because the action imposes no additional regulatory requirements on owners or operators of affected sources. We have therefore concluded that today ’ s*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **37** of **88** action will not result in a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entit ies. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act This action contains no Federal mandates under the provisions of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531 - 1538 for State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any St ate, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. Therefore, this action is not subject to the requirements of UMRA sections 202 or 205. This action is also not subject to the requirements of UMRA section 203 because it contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments because it contains no requirements that apply to such governments or impose obligations upon them. 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, as specified in EO 13132. None of the affected facilities are owned or operated by state*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **38** of **88** governments, and the requirements discussed in today ’ s notice will not supersede state regulations that are more stringent. Thus, EO 13132 does not apply to today ’ s notice of reconsideration. F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications. It will 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 EO 13175. No affected facilities are owned or operated by Indian tribal governments. Thus, EO 13175 does not apply to today ’ s action . G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks This action is not subject to EO 13045 (62 FR 19885 ; April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant as defined in EO 12866. The EPA has evaluate d the environmental health or safety effects of the final MATS on children. The results of the evaluation are discussed in that final rule (77 FR 9304; February 16, 2012) and are contained in rulemaking docket EPAHQ- OAR- 2009 - 0234.*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **39** of **88** H. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not a “ significant energy action ” as defined in EO 13211 (66 FR 28355; May 22, 2001) because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, di stribution, or use of energy. Further, we conclude that today ’ s action is not likely to have any adverse energy effects because it is not expected to impose any additional regulatory requirements on the owners of affected facilities. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) of 1995 (Public Law 104 - 113; 15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory and procurement activities unl ess to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., material specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, business practices) developed or adopted by one or
more voluntary consensus bodies. The NTTAA requires EPA to provide Congress, through the OMB, with explanations when EPA decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.*** E.O. 12866 Review

Page **40** of **88** During the development of the final MATS rule, the EPA searched for voluntary consensus standards that might be applicable. The search identified three voluntary consensus standards that were considered practical alternatives to the specified EPA test methods. An assessment of these and other voluntary consensus standards is presented in the preamble to the final MATS rule (77 FR 9441; February 16, 2012). Today ’ s action does not make use of any additional technical standards beyond those cited in the final MATS rule. Therefore, the EPA is not considering the use of any additional voluntary consensus standards for this action . J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low- income Populations Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 ; Feb ruary 16, 1994) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice.

Page **41** of **88** the United States. The EPA has determined that this action will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low- income populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. Our analysis shows that new EGUs would choose to install the same control technology in order to meet the revised emission limits as would have been necessary to meet the previously finalized standard. Under the relevant assumptions, we project that this action will result in
no significant change in emission reductions. K. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this final action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register .*** E.O. 12866 Review
