Note, under CAA section 307(b)(2), the requirements established by this final rule may not be challenged separately in any civil or criminal proceedings brought by EPA to enforce these requirements. **II. Background Information** A. What is the statutory authority for this final rule? Section 129 of the CAA, entitled “Solid Waste Combustion,” requires EPA to develop and adopt standards for solid waste incineration units pursuant to CAA sections 111 and 129. Section 129(a)(1)(A) of the CAA requires EPA to establish performance standards, including emission limitations, for “solid waste incineration units” generally and, in particular, for “solid waste incineration units combusting commercial or industrial waste” (CAA section Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 11 of 450 129(a)(1)(D)). Section 129 of the CAA defines “solid waste incineration unit” as “a distinct operating unit of any facility which combusts any solid waste material from commercial or industrial establishments or the general public” (section 129(g)(1)). Section 129 of the CAA also provides that “solid waste” shall have the meaning established by EPA pursuant to its authority under the RCRA (section 129(g)(6)). In Natural Resources Defense Council v. EPA , 489 F.3d 1250 (D.C. Cir. 2007), the Court vacated the CISWI Definitions Rule (70 FR 55568, September 22, 2005), which EPA issued pursuant to CAA section 129(a)(1)(D). In that rule, EPA defined the term “commercial or industrial solid waste incineration unit” to mean a combustion unit that combusts “commercial or industrial waste.” The rule defined “commercial or industrial waste” to mean waste combusted at a unit that does not recover thermal energy from the combustion for a useful purpose. Under these definitions, only those units that combusted commercial or industrial waste and were not designed to, or did not operate to, recover thermal energy from the combustion, were subject to CAA section 129 standards. In vacating the rule, the Court found that the definitions in the amendments to the CISWI regulations were inconsistent with Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 12 of 450 the CAA. Specifically, the Court held that the term “solid waste incineration unit” in CAA section 129(g)(1) “unambiguously include[s] among the incineration units subject to its standards any facility that combusts any commercial or industrial solid waste material at all— subject to the four statutory exceptions identified [in CAA section 129(g)(1)]” NRDC v. EPA , 489 F.3d at 1257–58. In response to the Court’s vacatur of the CISWI Definitions Rule, EPA initiated a rulemaking to define which non-hazardous secondary materials is “solid waste” for purposes of subtitle D (non-hazardous waste) of RCRA when burned in a combustion unit. See 74 FR 41 ( January 2, 2009) soliciting comment on whether certain non-hazardous secondary materials used as alternative fuels or ingredients are solid wastes within the meaning of subtitle D of the RCRA

. That definition, once established, will determine the applicability of CAA section 129(a) to commercial and industrial combustion units. On the same day EPA proposed standards for CISWI units, EPA issued a proposed definition of non-hazardous secondary materials that are solid waste pursuant to subtitle D of RCRA (75 FR 31844, June 4, 2010). In a parallel action to today’s final CISWI rule, EPA is promulgating a final definition of solid waste that Deleted: 51

Deleted: ( Deleted: ,

Deleted: ).

Deleted: the***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 13 of 450 identifies whether non-hazardous secondary materials burned as fuels in combustion units are solid waste. That action, hereinafter referred to as the “Non-hazardous Solid Waste Definition Rulemaking,” is relevant to this proceeding because some ERUs and waste-burning kilns combust secondary materials in their combustion units which are defined as solid waste under the new definition. Units that combust solid waste (as defined under the new non-hazardous solid waste definition ) will be subject to standards in the final CAA section 129 CISWI rules rather than to the standards under CAA section 112 applicable to boilers, process heaters, and cement kilns. At proposal, we acknowledged that we had incomplete information on the exact nature of the non-hazardous secondary materials that ERUs and waste-burning kilns combust. For example, we indicated that we lacked complete information concerning the provider(s) of the non-hazardous secondary materials, how much processing the non-hazardous secondary materials may have undergone, if any, and other issues potentially relevant in a determination as to whether non-hazardous secondary materials are solid waste, all information relevant not only in this rulemaking but also in developing a definition in the concurrent Nonhazardous Solid Waste Definition Rulemaking.

We used the information currently available, as supplemented during the comment period on the proposed rule, to determine which materials are solid waste, the burning of which would subject a unit to CAA section 129, and which materials are not solid waste. Energy recovery units (i.e., boilers and process heaters) and waste-burning kilns (i.e., Deleted: cement kilns) that are burning non-hazardous secondary materials that are not solid waste, will be subject to the standard under CAA section 112 that is applicable to such units. We based the standards in this final rule on the sources we determined would be subject to CISWI because, based on the information available to us at this time, we believe they combust solid waste as that term is defined in EPA’s***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 14 of 450 In developing standards for this final rule, we used best efforts to estimate which units would have been classified as CISWI (i.e., units combusting solid waste) had the final definition of non-hazardous solid waste been in place at the time of the performance testing. The standards (and, necessarily, the pool of best performers establishing the floors for each standard) are based on the performance of this universe of sources. 1 In evaluating which sources would have been classified as CISWI had the new definition of solid waste been effective, EPA used the information currently available on which non-hazardous secondary materials the sources combust, as supplemented by information obtained from public comment and further information gathered by EPA after the public comment period of this rule.

1 Section 112 (d) MACT standards are based on the performance of sources at a moment in time (or over some demarcated timeframe), and EPA therefore bases those standards on performance of sources classified as part of the source category at the time their performance is evaluated (i.e., the time of performance testing). However, EPA could not use this approach here. Sources combusting non-hazardous secondary materials, the best example being alternative fuels, were not classified as CISWI absent a regulatory definition of solid waste classifying such secondary materials. In order to issue the CISWI standards by the mandated promulgation deadline, EPA thus deviated from its usual practice and based the standards on the performance of devices which would have been classified as CISWI had the final waste definition been in place at the time of the performance testing even though these sources were not CISWI at the time. There was no approach that would be based on the sources’ actual status that would have allowed EPA to complete this CISWI rule by the time of the mandated deadline for promulgation. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 15 of 450 Energy recovery units (i.e., boilers and process heaters) and waste-burning kilns (i.e., cement kilns) that are burning solid waste (as defined in new section 241) will be subject to today’s standards. Sections 111(b) and 129(a) of the CAA address emissions from new CISWI units (i.e., NSPS) and CAA sections 111(d) and 129(b) address emissions from existing CISWI units (i.e., EG). The NSPS are directly enforceable federal regulations and under CAA section 129(f)(1) become effective 6 months after promulgation. Under CAA section 129(f)(2), the EG become effective and enforceable no later than 3 years after EPA approves a state plan implementing the EG or 5 years after the date they are promulgated, whichever is earlier. The CAA sets forth a two-stage approach to regulating emissions from solid waste incinerator units. The statute also provides EPA with substantial discretion to distinguish among classes, types, and sizes of incineration units within a category while setting standards. In the first stage of setting standards, CAA section 129(a)(2) requires EPA to establish technology-based emission standards that reflect levels of control EPA determines are achievable for new and existing units, after considering costs, nonair quality health and environmental impacts and Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 16 of 450 energy requirements associated with the implementation of the standards. Section 129(a)(5) of the CAA then directs EPA to review those standards and revise them as necessary every 5 years. In the second stage, CAA section 129(h)(3) requires EPA to determine whether further revisions of the standards are necessary in order to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health. See, e.g., NRDC and

LEAN v. EPA , 529 F.3d 1077, 1079-80 (D.C. Cir. 2008) addressing the similarly required two-stage approach under CAA sections 112(d) and (f) and upholding EPA’s implementation of same. In setting forth the methodology EPA must use to establish the first-stage technology-based standards for the NSPS and EG, CAA section 129(a)(2) provides that standards “applicable to solid waste incineration units promulgated under section 111 and this section shall reflect the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of [certain listed air pollutants] that the Administrator, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction and any nonair quality health and environmental impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable for new and existing units in each category.” This level of control is referred to as a MACT standard. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 17 of 450 In promulgating a MACT standard, EPA must first calculate the minimum stringency levels for new and existing solid waste incineration units in a category, generally based on levels of emissions control achieved or required to be achieved by the subject units. The minimum level of stringency is called the MACT “floor,” and CAA section 129(a)(2) sets forth differing levels of minimum stringency that EPA’s standards must achieve, based on whether they regulate new and reconstructed sources, or existing sources. For new and reconstructed sources, CAA section 129(a)(2) provides that the “degree of reduction in emissions that is deemed achievable... shall not be less stringent than the emissions control that is achieved in practice by the best controlled similar unit, as determined by the Administrator.” Emissions standards for existing units may be less stringent than standards for new units, but “shall not be less stringent than the average emissions limitation achieved by the best-performing 12 percent of units in the category.” Maximum Achievable Control Technology analyses involve an assessment of the emissions from the best-performing unit or units in a source category. The assessment can be based on actual emissions data, knowledge of the air pollution control in place in combination with actual Deleted: 51

Deleted: MACT***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 18 of 450 emissions data, or on state regulatory requirements that may enable EPA to estimate the actual performance of the regulated units. For each source category, the assessment involves a review of actual emissions data with an appropriate accounting for emissions variability. Other methods of estimating emissions can be used, if the methods can be shown to provide reasonable estimates of the actual emissions performance of a source or sources. Where there is more than one method or technology to control emissions, the analysis may result in a series of potential regulations (called regulatory options), one of which is selected as MACT. Each regulatory option EPA considers must be at least as stringent as the CAA’s minimum stringency “floor” requirements. EPA must examine, but is not necessarily required to adopt, more stringent “beyond-the-floor” regulatory options to determine MACT. Unlike the floor minimum stringency requirements, EPA must consider various impacts of the more stringent regulatory options indetermining whether MACT standards are to reflect “beyondthe-floor” requirements. If EPA concludes that the more stringent regulatory options have unreasonable impacts, EPA selects the “floor-based” regulatory option as MACT. However, if EPA concludes that impacts associated with Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 19 of 450 “beyond-the-floor” levels of control are reasonable in light of additional emissions reductions achieved, EPA selects those levels as MACT. The CAA requires that MACT for new sources be no less stringent than the emissions control achieved in practice by the best-controlled similar unit. Under CAA section 129(a)(2), EPA determines the best control currently in use for a given pollutant and establishes one potential regulatory option at the emission level achieved by that control with an appropriate accounting for emissions variability. More stringent potential beyond-the-floor regulatory options might reflect controls used on other sources that could be applied to the source category in question. For existing sources, the CAA requires that MACT be no less stringent than the average emissions limitation achieved by the best-performing 12 percent of units in a source category. EPA must determine some measure of theaverage emissions limitation achieved by the bestperforming 12 percent of units to form the floor regulatory option. More stringent beyond-the-floor regulatory options reflect other or additional controls capable of achieving better performance. B. What is the history of the CISWI standards? Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 20 of 450 On December 1, 2000, EPA published a notice of final rulemaking establishing the NSPS and EG for CISWI units (60 FR 75338), hereinafter referred to as the 2000 CISWI rule. On August 17, 2001, EPA granted a Request for Reconsideration, pursuant to CAA section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA, submitted on behalf of the National Wildlife Federation and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, related to the definition of “commercial and industrial solid waste incineration unit” and “commercial or industrial waste” in EPA’s CISWI rulemaking. In granting the Petition for Reconsideration, EPA agreed to undertake further notice and comment proceedings related to these definitions. On January 30, 2001, Sierra Club filed a petition for review in the Court challenging EPA’s final CISWI rule. On September 6, 2001, the Court entered an order granting EPA’s motion for a voluntary remand of the CISWI rule, without vacatur. EPA’s request for a voluntary remand of the final CISWI rule was taken to allow the EPA to address concerns related to EPA’s procedures for establishing MACT floors for CISWI units in light of the Court’s decision in Cement Kiln Recycling Coalition v. EPA , 255 F.3d 855 (DC Cir. 2001)(Cement Kiln ). Neither EPA’s granting of the Petition for Reconsideration, nor the Court’s order granting a voluntary remand, stayed, vacated, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 21 of 450 or otherwise influenced the effectiveness of the 2000 CISWI rule. Specifically, CAA section 307(d)(7)(B) provides that “reconsideration shall not postpone the effectiveness of the rule,” except that “[t]he effectiveness of the rule may be stayed during such reconsideration * * * by the Administrator or the Court for a period not to exceed three months.” Neither EPA nor the Court stayed the effectiveness of the final CISWI regulations in connection with the reconsideration petition. In addition, the Court granted EPA’s motion for a remand without vacatur; therefore, the remand order had no impact on the implementation of the 2000 CISWI rule. On February 17, 2004, EPA published a proposed rule soliciting comments on the definitions of “solid waste,” “commercial and industrial waste,” and “commercial and industrial solid waste incineration unit.” On September 22, 2005, EPA published in the Federal Register the final rule reflecting our decisions with respect to the CISWI Definitions Rule. The rule was challenged and, on June 8, 2007, the Court vacated and remanded the CISWI Definitions Rule. In vacating the rule, the Court found that CAA section 129 unambiguously includes among the incineration units subject to its standards, any facility that combusts any solid waste material, subject to four statutory Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 22 of 450 exceptions. While the Court vacated the CISWI Definitions Rule, the 2000 CISWI rule remains in effect. On June 4, 2010, EPA proposed revised NSPS and EG for CISWI units (75 FR 31938). Today’s final action constitutes EPA’s response to the voluntary remand of the 2000 CISWI rule and to the 2007 vacatur and remand of the CISWI Definitions Rule. In addition, these amendments address the 5-year technology review that is required under CAA section 129(a)(5). C. How is the solid waste definition addressed in this final rule? The RCRA definition of solid waste is integral indefining the CISWI source category. EPA defines the nonhazardous secondary materials that are solid waste under RCRA in the final Non-hazardous Solid Waste Definition Rulemaking. At proposal, the Non-hazardous Solid Waste Definition Rulemaking proposed a definition of solid waste and identified an “alternative approach” for consideration and comment. However, the final solid waste definition does not incorporate the “alternative approach,” and more closely reflects the proposed definition of non-hazardous secondary materials that are solid waste. D. What is the relationship between the final rule and other combustion rules? Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 23 of 450 These amendments address the combustion of solid waste materials (as defined by the Administrator under RCRA in the concurrent Non-hazardous Solid Waste Definition Rulemaking) in combustion units at commercial and industrial facilities. If an owner or operator of a CISWI unit permanently ceases combusting solid waste, the affected unit would no longer be subject to this regulation under CAA section 129. Section 112 rules of the CAA, applicable to boilers and process heaters at major sources and boilers at area sources, are being promulgated in parallel actions that are relevant to this action because those standards would apply to subject boilers and process heaters that do not combust solid waste. Boilers and process heaters that combust solid waste are subject to CISWI as ERUs. EPA has also finalized revised CAA section 112 NESHAP from the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry (75 FR 21136, September 9, 2010). Cement kilns combusting solid waste are waste-burning kilns subject to this final rule, not the otherwise applicable NESHAP. E. What is EPA’s approach for conducting a 5-year review under CAA section 129(a)(5)? Section 129(a)(5) of the CAA requires EPA to conduct a review of the section 129 standards at 5-year intervals and, in accordance with CAA sections 129 and 111, revise Deleted: 51

We do not interpret CAA section 129(a)(5), together with CAA section 111, as requiring EPA to recalculate MACT floors in connection with this periodic review. (71 FR 27324, 27327-28, May 10, 2006; NRDC and

LEAN v. EPA , 529 F.3d 1077, 1083-84 (D.C. Cir. 2008)(upholding EPA’s interpretation that the periodic review requirement in CAA section 112(d)(6) does not impose an obligation to recalculate MACT floors). Rather, in conducting such periodic reviews, EPA attempts to assess the performance of and variability associated with control measures affecting emissions performance at sources in the subject source category (including the installed emissions control equipment), along with recent developments in practices, processes, and control technologies, and determines whether it is appropriate to revise the standards. This is the same general approach taken by EPA in periodically reviewing CAA section 111 standards, because CAA section 111 contains a similar review and revise provision. Our obligation to conduct a 5-year review based on implementation of the 2000 CISWI rule is fulfilled with the finalization of these CISWI standards. This action responds to the vacatur and remand of the CISWI Definition Rule and the voluntary remand of the 2000 CISWI NSPS and Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 25 of 450 EG, and, in this response, EPA is requiring new standards based on a MACT methodology that is consistent with the CAA and District of Columbia Circuit Court precedent. The MACT levels required herein reflect MACT floor levels determined by current emissions data from CISWI units, and, therefore, reflect the current performance of the best-performing unit or units subject to the CISWI standards. Consequently, we believe that our obligation to conduct a 5-year review based on implementation of the 2000 CISWI rule is fulfilled. Our conclusion is supported by the fact that the revised MACT standards included in this final remand response are based on the available performance data for the currently operating CISWI units, including those units that are subject to the 2000 CISWI rule and those units that will be subject to the CISWI standards for the first time based on the final Non-hazardous Solid Waste Definition Rulemaking under RCRA. In establishing MACT floors based on currently available emissions information, we address the technology review’s goals of assessing the performance efficiency of the installed equipment and ensuring that the emission limits reflect the performance of the technologies required by the MACT standards. In addition, in establishing these final standards, we Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 26 of 450 considered whether new technologies, processes, and improvements in practices have been demonstrated at sources subject to the 2000 CISWI rule and at sources that will be subject to these proposed standards for the first time based on the proposed definition of solid waste. Accordingly, the remand response in this final action fulfills EPA’s obligations regarding the 5-year review of the CISWI standards. Further discussion of the EPA’s response to the CAA section 129(a)(5) 5-year review is found in section III.B of the proposal preamble (75 FR 31946). F. What is the relationship of this final action to section 112(c)(6) of the CAA? Section 112(c)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to identify categories of sources of seven specified pollutants to assure that sources accounting for not less than 90 percent of the aggregate emissions of each such pollutant are subject to standards under CAA section 112(d)(2) or 112(d)(4). EPA has identified certain CISWI units as sources necessary to meet the 90 percent requirement under section 112(c)(6). In the Federal Register notice “Source Category Listing for Section 112(d)(2) Rulemaking Pursuant to Section 112(c)(6) Requirements”, 63 FR 17838, 17849, Table 2 (1998), EPA identified source categories that must Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 27 of 450 be “subject to regulation” for purposes of CAA section 112(c)(6). Included in that list are cement kilns and combustion units (e.g., major source boilers and process heaters). Cement kilns, boilers, and process heaters that combust solid waste are subject to the CAA section 129 standards for CISWI as either waste-burning kilns or ERUs. These CISWI units emit five of the seven CAA section 112(c)(6) pollutants: POM, dioxins, furans, Hg and PCBs. The POM emitted by CISWI is composed of 7-PAH and 16-PAH. For purposes of CAA section 112(c)(6), EPA has determined that standards promulgated under CAA section 129 are substantively equivalent to those promulgated under CAA section 112(d). (63 FR 17845; 62 FR 33625, 33632 (1997)). As discussed in more detail in response to comments on this issue, the CAA section 129 standards effectively control emissions of the five identified CAA section 112(c)(6) pollutants. Further, since CAA section 129(h)(2) precludes EPA from regulating CISWI units under CAA section 112(d), EPA cannot further regulate the emissions of 112(c)(6) pollutants from CISWI units under CAA section 112(d). As a result, EPA considers emissions of these five pollutants from waste-burning kilns and ERUs “subject to standards” for purposes of CAA section 112(c)(6). The remaining CISWI subcategories will be subject to MACT standards either in Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 28 of 450 this action or in a future action, but regulation of the remaining subcategories is not required for EPA to complete its 112(c)(6) obligations. **III. Summary of the Final Rule** A. Which units are affected by this final rule? This final rule defines a CISWI unit as any combustion unit at a commercial or industrial facility that is used to combust solid waste (as defined under RCRA). (40 CFR 60.2265 (NSPS) and 60.2875 (EG)). Therefore, in this final rule, CISWI units subject to standards in this final rule include incinerators designed to burn discarded waste materials; units designed for heat recovery that combust solid waste materials (i.e., ERUs that would be boilers or process heaters if they did not burn solid waste); and waste burning kilns (i.e., units that would be cement kilns if they did not burn solid waste); we also define other CISWI units that are not subject to standards in this final action. The final rule contains definitions of the four subcategories of CISWI units that are subject to standards under these amendments: incinerators, small remote incinerators, ERUs, and waste burning kilns. At proposal, we also defined and proposed standards for burn-off ovens. Based on information obtained during proposal, and because we do not need such units to comply with our section Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 29 of 450 112(c)(6) obligations, we are not finalizing standards for burn-off ovens as explained further below in response to comments on this issue. We are revising the definition of CISWI unit to reflect the Court’s decision that all units burning solid waste as defined under RCRA are to be covered by regulation under CAA section 129. To ensure consistency with the definition of CISWI unit, we are also adding a definition of “solid waste incineration unit” and removing the definition of “commercial and industrial waste.” The 2000 CISWI rule, through the definition of “commercial and industrial waste,” excluded from regulation combustion units at commercial or industrial facilities that recovered energy for a useful purpose. We are eliminating those exemptions that were vacated by the

Court. Qualifying small power producers, qualifying cogeneration units, and materials recovery units continue to be expressly exempt from coverage pursuant to CAA exclusions from the definition of “solid waste incineration unit” set forth in CAA section 129(g)(1). Units that are required to have a permit under section 3005 of the SWDA (i.e., hazardous waste combustion units) are also exempt from section 129 rules per CAA section 129(g)(1). Air Deleted: 51

Deleted: In addition, the 2000 CISWI standards exempted other types of units that may combust solid waste, including: pathological waste incinerators; agricultural waste incinerators; incinerators regulated by the CAA section 129 MWC or HMIWI standards; incinerators with a capacity less than 35 tpd that combust more than 30 percent MSW; qualifying small power producers; qualifying cogeneration units; materials recovery units; air curtain incinerators combusting “clean wood” waste; cyclonic barrel burners; rack, part, and drum reclamation units (i.e., burn-off ovens); cement kilns; SSI; chemical recovery units; and laboratory analysis units.***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 30 of 450 curtain incinerators at commercial or industrial facilities combusting “clean wood” waste are also excluded from the definition of solid waste incineration unit set forth in CAA section 129(g)(1), but that section provides that such units must comply with opacity limits to maintain that exemption. Solid waste incineration units that are included within the scope of other CAA section 129 categories include MWC units; institutional, pathological waste incineration units (EPA intends to regulate these units under OSWI standards); SSI units (EPA is issuing final standards for these units in a concurrent action), and HMIWI units. These solid waste incineration units will remain exempt from the CISWI standards. As stated above, we created subcategories for waste-burning kilns and ERUs, and they are subject to this final rule in light of the CISWI Definitions Rule vacatur. We note that other CAA section 129 standards may contain an exemption for cement kilns. Those exemptions do not excuse waste burning kilns from compliance with these final standards. As those other CAA section 129 rules are amended, we will clarify that cement kilns that meet the definition of waste-burning kiln and other CISWI units, that may be expressly exempt from those standards, are subject to CISWI standards if they are Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 31 of 450 located at a commercial or industrial facility and they combust solid waste. B. What are the emission limits in the final rule? The final MACT floor emission limits for new and existing sources are presented in Tables 1 and 2 of this preamble. These emission limits are based on subcategories established considering sources that we believe are CISWI units under the final definition of non-hazardous secondary materials, as discussed in the concurrent Non-hazardous Solid Waste Definition Rulemaking. The final MACT floor emission limits for existing sources in each subcategory are shown in Table 1 of this preamble. **Table 1.

This final rule requires all CISWI units to demonstrate initial compliance with the revised emission limits. For existing CISWI units, these amendments require annual inspections of scrubbers, FF, and other air pollution control devices that are used to meet the emission limits. In addition, a Method 22 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7) visible emissions test of the ash handling operations is required during the annual compliance test for all subcategories except waste-burning kilns, which do not have ash handling systems. Furthermore, for any existing CISWI unit that operates a FF air pollution control device, we are requiring that a bag leak detection system be installed to monitor the device. These amendments continue to require parametric monitoring of all other add-on air pollution control devices, such as wet scrubbers and ACI. Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units that install SNCR technology to reduce

NO x emissions are required to monitor the reagent (e.g., ammonia or urea) injection rate and secondary chamber temperature (if applicable to the CISWI unit). This final rule also requires subcategory-specific monitoring requirements in addition to the aforementioned inspection, bag leak detection, and parametric monitoring Deleted: 51

Deleted: activated carbon injection.***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 35 of 450 requirements that are applicable to all CISWI units. Existing incinerators, small, remote incinerators, and ERUs would have annual emissions testing for all nine pollutants : PM, SO 2 , HCl, NO x , CO, lead, Cd, Hg, and
dioxins and furans. Existing kilns are required to monitor Hg, PM, and HCl (if no wet scrubber) emissions using a CEMS and perform annual testing for the remaining pollutants. These amendments provide reduced annual testing requirements for all nine pollutants when testing results are shown to be well below the limits. If the ERU has a design capacity less than or equal to 250 mmBtu/hr and is not equipped with a wet scrubber control device, then a continuous opacity monitor is required or, as an alternative, a PM CEMS could be employed (see below). If the ERU has a design capacity greater than 250 mmBtu/hr, then PM emissions must be monitored using a PM CEMS. For new CISWI units, the final rule requires the same monitoring requirements as for existing units, but also requires CO CEMS for all subcategories. Additionally, SO 2 and NO x CEMS are required for all new kilns. For all subcategories of existing CISWI units, use of CO CEMS is an approved alternative and specific language with requirements for CO CEMS is included in these Deleted: 51

NO x , SO 2 , HCl, multi-metals and Hg CEMS and integrated sorbent trap Hg monitoring and dioxin monitoring (continuous sampling with periodic sample analysis) also are approved alternatives, and specific language for those alternatives is included in these amendments. D. What are the requirements during periods of SSM? The 2000 CISWI standards did not apply during periods of SSM. This final rule revises the 2000 CISWI rule such that the standards apply at all times, including during SSM periods. As further explained in section V.H of this preamble, the revision is being made in light of the Court decision that vacated portions of regulations related to SSM in the General Provisions of 40 CFR part 63. EPA is including in this final rule an affirmative defense to civil penalties for exceedances of emission limits that are caused by malfunctions . The full rationale for these decisions is presented in section V.H of this preamble. E. How do the rule amendments affect the applicability of the 2000 NSPS and EG? Incinerators subject to the 2000 CISWI standards are treated differently under the amended standards than they were under the 2000 CISWI rule in terms of whether they are Deleted: 51

Deleted: the imposition of monetary Deleted: qualifying malfunction events***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 37 of 450 “existing” or “new” sources. 2 Consistent with the CAA section 129 definition of “new” sources, there are new dates defining what units are “new” sources. Incinerators that are currently subject to the NSPS will become “existing” sources under the final amended standards and are required to meet the revised EG by the applicable compliance date for the revised guidelines. Those units will continue to be NSPS units subject to the 2000 CISWI rule until they become “existing” sources under the amended standards. Incinerators and small remote incinerators that are existing sources under the 2000 EG must continue to comply with those standards until the applicable compliance date for the revised EG, at which time those sources must be in compliance with the applicable EG. Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units in the four subcategories for which we are issuing final standards in this rule that commenced construction after June 4, 2010, or for which a modification is commenced on or after 6 months after promulgation of these final standards, are “new” units subject to more stringent NSPS emission limits. Units for which construction or

Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units in the subcategories other than the incinerator subcategory and small remote incinerator subcategory (if a unit was not exempt) will not in any case be subject to the standards in the 2000 CISWI rule. Under this final rule, incinerators that commenced construction after November 30, 1999, and on or before June 4, 2010, or that were reconstructed or modified prior to the date 6 months after promulgation of any revised final standards, are subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS until the applicable compliance date for the revised EG, at which time those units would become “existing” sources. Similarly, units in the incinerator or small remote incinerator subcategories that are subject to the EG under the 2000 CISWI rule must meet the revised EG by the applicable compliance date for the revised guidelines. Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units that commence construction after June 4, 2010, or that are reconstructed or modified 6 months or more after the date Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 39 of 450 of promulgation of the revised standards, must meet the revised NSPS emission limits in the NSPS within 6 months after the promulgation date of the amendments or upon startup, whichever is later. F. What is the compliance schedule? New CISWI units must demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit within 60 days after the CISWI unit reaches the charge rate at which it will operate, but no later than 180 days after its initial startup. Existing CISWI units must demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limits as expeditiously as practicable after approval of a state plan, but no later than 3 years from the date of approval of a state plan or 5 years after promulgation of these revised standards, whichever is earlier. G. What is the state plan implementation schedule? Under the final amendments to the EG, and consistent with CAA section 129, revised state plans containing the revised existing source emission limits and other requirements in the final amendments are due within 1 year after promulgation of the amendments. States must submit revised state plans to EPA [INSERT THE DATE 1 YEAR AFTER

THE DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THIS FINAL RULE IN THE FEDERAL
REGISTER ]. Deleted: 51

Deleted: proposed***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 40 of 450 These amendments to the EG allow existing CISWI to demonstrate compliance with the amended standards as expeditiously as practicable after approval of a state plan, but no later than 3 years from the date of approval of a state plan or 5 years after promulgation of the revised standards, whichever is earlier. Because we believe that many CISWI units will find it necessary to retrofit existing emission control equipment and/or install additional emission control equipment in order to meet the final revised limits, EPA anticipates that states may choose to provide the 3-year compliance period allowed by CAA section 129(f)(2). In revising the standards in a state plan, a state has two options. First, it may include both the 2000 CISWI standards and the new standards in its revised state plan, which allows a phased approach in applying the new limits. The state plan must make clear that the standards in the 2000 CISWI rule remain in force for subject units and apply until the date the revised existing source standards are effective (as defined in the state plan). 3 States where existing CISWI incinerators do not need to improve their

See section III.F of this preamble. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 41 of 450 performance to meet the revised standards, may want to consider a second approach as follows. The state may replace the 2000 CISWI rule standards with the standards in this final rule; follow the procedures in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B; and submit a revised state plan to EPA for approval. If the revised state plan contains only the revised standards (i.e., the 2000 CISWI rule standards are not retained), then the revised standards must become effective immediately for those units that are subject to the 2000 CISWI rule, since the 2000 CISWI rule standards would be removed from the state plan. EPA will revise the existing federal plan to incorporate any changes to existing source emission limits and other requirements that EPA has promulgated. The federal plan applies to CISWI units in any state without an approved state plan. The proposed amendments to the EG would allow existing CISWI units subject to the federal plan up to 5 years after promulgation of the revised standards to demonstrate compliance with the amended standards, as required by CAA section 129(b)(3). H. What are the requirements for submission of emissions test results to EPA? EPA must have performance test data and other compliance data to conduct effective reviews of CAA section Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 42 of 450 112 and 129 standards, as well as for many other purposes including compliance determinations, emissions factor development, and annual emissions rate determinations. In conducting these required reviews, EPA has found it ineffective and time consuming not only for us but also for regulatory agencies and source owners and operators to locate, collect, and submit emissions test data because of varied locations for data storage and varied data storage methods. One improvement that has occurred in recent years is the availability of stack test reports in electronic format as a replacement for cumbersome paper copies. In this final rule, EPA is taking steps to improve data accessibility. Owners and operators of CISWI units are required to submit to EPA an electronic copy of reports of certain performance tests required under the CISWI EG and NSPS. Sources must submit data through the ERT. The ERT was developed with input from stack testing companies who generally collect and compile performance test data electronically and offices within state and local agencies which perform field test assessments. The ERT is currently available, and access to direct data submittal to EPA’s electronic emissions database (WebFIRE) is scheduled to become available by December 31, 2011. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 43 of 450 The requirement to submit source test data electronically to EPA will not require any additional performance testing and will apply to those performance tests conducted using test methods that are supported by ERT. The ERT contains a specific electronic data entry form for most of the commonly used EPA reference methods. The website listed below contains a listing of the pollutants and test methods supported by ERT. In addition, when a facility submits performance test data to WebFIRE, there would be no additional requirements for emissions test data compilation. Moreover, EPA believes industry will benefit from development of improved emissions factors, fewer follow-up information requests, and better regulation development as discussed below. The information to be reported is already required for the existing test methods and is necessary to evaluate the conformance to the test method. One major advantage of collecting source test data through the ERT is that it provides a standardized method to compile and store much of the documentation required to be reported by this final rule while clearly stating what testing information EPA requires. Another important benefit of submitting these data to EPA at the time the source test is conducted is that it substantially reduces Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 44 of 450 the effort involved in data collection activities in the future. Specifically, because EPA would already have adequate source category data to conduct residual risk assessments or technology reviews, there would likely be fewer or less substantial data collection requests (e.g., CAA section 114 letters). This results in a reduced burden on both affected facilities (in terms of reduced labor to respond to data collection requests) and EPA (in terms of preparing and distributing data collection requests). State/local/tribal agencies may also benefit in that their review may be more streamlined and accurate because the states would not have to re-enter the data to assess the calculations and verify the data entry. Finally, another benefit of submitting these data to WebFIRE electronically is that these data would improve greatly the overall quality of the existing and new emissions factors by supplementing the pool of emissions test data upon which the emissions factor is based and by ensuring that data are more representative of current industry operational procedures. A common complaint EPA receives from industry and regulators is that emissions factors are outdated or not representative of a particular source category. Receiving and incorporating data for most performance tests would ensure that emissions factors, when updated, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 45 of 450 represent accurately the most current operational practices. In summary, receiving test data already collected for other purposes and using them in the emissions factors development program would save industry, state/local/tribal agencies, and EPA, time and money and work to improve the quality of emissions inventories and related regulatory decisions. As mentioned earlier, the electronic database that would be used is EPA’s WebFIRE, which is a database accessible through EPA’s TTN (see http://cfpub.epa.gov/webfire /). The WebFIRE database was constructed to store emissions test and other data for use in developing emissions factors. A description of the WebFIRE database can be found at http://cfpub.epa.gov/oarweb/index.cfm?action=fire.main

. Source owners and operators will be able to transmit data collected via the ERT through EPA’s CDX network for storage in the WebFIRE database. Although ERT is not the only electronic interface that can be used to submit source test data to the CDX for entry into WebFIRE, it makes submittal of data very straightforward and easy.

**IV. Summary of Significant Changes Since Proposal** EPA received over 3,500 public comments on the proposed rulemaking. Furthermore, we conducted three public hearings to allow the public to comment on the proposed rulemaking and the inter-related Boiler and RCRA rules. Following are the major changes to the rule since the proposal. The rationale for these and any other significant changes can be found in section V of this preamble or in the document titled “Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Rule: EPA’s Response to Public Comments” available in the docket for this rulemaking.

 Clarified and revised the applicability and compliance requirements for CISWI units that cease or begin combusting solid waste.

 Determined that this final action will not subject burn-off ovens, soil treatment units, cyclonic burn barrels , laboratory analysis units , and space heaters to this standard.

 Further subcategorized ERUs with separate limits for NO x , CO, and SO 2 for coal and biomass units.

 Revised the definition of small, remote incinerators.

 Revised the CO CEMS monitoring requirement from mandatory to voluntary for existing ERUs.

 Incorporated hourly CEMS data into emissions limit calculations and 24-hour CEMS data into costing and impacts analyses.

 Revised the calculation methodology of D/F TEQ and clarified that sources must comply with either the TMB or TEQ basis limit.

 Added tire certification procedures for all CISWI units to allow them to certify that the tires are from a program that enables them to be considered non-waste materials.

 Added recordkeeping and reporting requirements for units that burn materials other than traditional fuels.

 Revised the annual performance testing requirements to clarify the schedule for completion of subsequent performance tests.

 Revised the reduced testing provision to state testing for a given pollutant may be performed every 3 years, instead of annually, if measured emissions during two consecutive annual performance tests are less than 75 percent of the applicable emission limit.

 Revised the test methods for cement kilns to require EPA Method 321 for HCl testing of these units. Deleted: 51

 Removed the allowance for sources to use the results of previously conducted tests to demonstrate compliance.

 Revised monitoring requirements for the waste-burning kilns subcategory.

 Provided an affirmative defense to civil penalties for exceedances of emission limits that are caused by malfunctions.

**V. Public Comments** A. Legal and Applicability Issues, Compliance Schedule, and Certification Procedures 1. Section 129 vs. Section 112 - Applicability for Waste Firing Boilers and Kilns That Opt to Stop Burning Waste

Comment : Many commenters stated that ERUs and wasteburning kilns should be able to move between CAA sections 129 and 112 standards based on the materials being burned. Commenters argued that EPA should provide flexibility for operators of units burning co-fired waste to consider the stringency of all applicable standards and opt into the appropriate rule. Many commenters contended that requiring operators who stop burning solid waste to remain regulated under CISWI would penalize them with no benefit gained. One commenter stated that no law or regulation prevents EPA from allowing a unit to opt out of CISWI and that the concern that facilities would “backslide” from MACT control levels is not applicable. Further, commenters argued that the once-in-always-in policy should not apply to CISWI and Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 51 of 450 requested clarification on how the policy applies to sources subject to CAA section 129 standards that either continue or begin combusting solid waste. One commenter requested that EPA clarify whether the CISWI rule would apply to any kiln that is actually using solid waste or to any kiln authorized to do so. Response: This rule addresses the combustion of solid waste materials (as defined by the Administrator under RCRA) in combustion units at commercial and industrial facilities. If an owner or operator of a CISWI unit permanently ceases combusting solid waste, the affected unit is no longer subject to this regulation under CAA section 129, and the unit would become subject to any applicable regulations under CAA section 112. Likewise, if an owner or operator of any commercial or industrial unit starts combusting solid waste in that unit, it becomes subject to CISWI, and is no longer subject to any previously applicable regulations under section 112. Consistent with CAA section 129(h)(2), no solid waste incineration unit subject to performance standards under section 129 and section 111 shall be subject to standards under section 112(d) of the Act. CISWI units that cease burning solid waste in the ERU and waste-burning kiln subcategories may be subject to one Deleted: 51

Deleted: be***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 52 of 450 of three rulemaking actions under CAA section 112. EPA is finalizing in a parallel action two NESHAP applicable to boilers, one for area source boilers and one for major source boilers that also regulates process heaters at major sources. EPA also recently finalized revised NESHAP for cement kilns (74 FR 54970, September 9, 2010). Energy recovery units and waste-burning kilns subject to CISWI that cease burning solid waste, and thus cease being subject to this final rule, will be subject to the NESHAP for area source boilers, major source boilers and process heaters, or cement kilns, as appropriate. Today’s final rule includes provisions to address the situation where CISWI units cease burning solid waste, and where existing commercial and industrial facilities start burning solid waste. Units that cease burning solid waste remain subject to CISWI for at least 6 months after solid waste is no longer present in the combustion chamber. After 6 months, sources must either comply with any applicable section 112 standards or, if they intend to combust solid waste in the unit in the future, opt to remain subject to CISWI. Sources switching out of CISWI due to cessation of solid waste combustion must submitadvance notification of the effective date of the waste-tofuel switch consistent with new procedures in this rule. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 53 of 450 Units that begin combusting solid waste are considered existing sources under CISWI and must comply with the emissions guidelines set forth in the CISWI final rule at the time they begin burning solid waste. EPA acknowledges that sources may stop and start burning solid waste in their combustion units, and that regulatory procedures are necessary to guide sources through the changes in applicability that may result due to a switch in combustion materials. New provisions in the final rule account for the fact that facilities may start and stop burning solid waste and ensure that any resulting changes in applicability between section 129 and section 112 rules do not occur with so much frequency that sources are unable to demonstrate continuing compliance with the applicable standards. To ensure that frequent switching does not impede our ability to determine continuous compliance and create undue permitting and testing burdens, sources remain subject to CISWI for a minimum of 6 months. The definition of CISWI unit has been revised to clarify that a CISWI unit includes a distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial facility that combusts any solid waste in a 12-month period. This change accounts for sources that periodically burn solid waste throughout a given 12-month period, but Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 54 of 450 that also has long periods in which no solid waste is combusted at all. We believe this change will reduce administrative and compliance costs to both the source and the regulatory agencies. For example, sources will not have to re-establish initial compliance with CISWI or revise their operating permit to reflect a switch out of and back into the CISWI regulations. Instead, facilities that combust solid waste would continue to be subject to the CISWI regulations at least 6 months after waste is no longer combusted. The regulations also allow facilities to remain subject to CISWI beyond 6 months after cessation of solid waste combustion, at their own discretion, if the source determined that continued compliance with CISWI is appropriate because the source intends to combust solid waste in the future. Source owners or operators may, alternatively, choose a date at least 6 months after ceasing solid waste combustion on which they would no longer be subject to CISWI, and would instead be subject to any applicable section 112 standards. This date is called the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch. Specifically, the new provisions direct a source owneror operator to select an effective date for the waste-tofuel, or fuel-to-waste switch, and that date becomes the date on which all of the newly applicable requirements Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 55 of 450 apply. When a source begins combusting solid waste, the effective date of the fuel-to-waste switch must be the same as the actual date the unit begins combusting solid waste because by statute any source that combusts any solid waste is a solid waste incineration unit subject to standards under CAA section 129. See section 129(g)(1) (defining “solid waste incineration unit”). For sources that cease burning solid waste, they may pick an effective date for the waste-to-fuel switch that is at least 6 months after the last date on which solid waste is combusted. This allows sources that cease combusting solid waste to comply with an applicable NESHAP or opt to remain subject to CISWI at the discretion of the owner or operator. We allow the owner or operator of a CISWI unit the option of remaining subject to CISWI to account for sources that may want to retain the ability to burn waste intermittently without having to periodically switch between the section 112 and section 129 regulatory programs. If a source wishes to end applicability of CISWI to its unit, the source must submitan advance notification of the effective date of the wasteto-fuel switch. The source must be in compliance with any NESHAP that applies as a result of ceasing the combustion of solid waste on the effective date of the waste-to-fuel Deleted: 51

Deleted: of***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 56 of 450 switch. The source must remain in continuous compliance with the CISWI regulations until that date. As stated above, boiler and process heaters that commence combustion of any solid waste and become solid waste incineration units as defined in section 129(g)(1) are subject to CISWI standards applicable to ERUs as of the date they commence combusting solid waste. Likewise, cement kilns that begin combusting solid waste and become solid waste incineration units must comply with the CISWI standards applicable to waste-burning kilns at the time they begin combusting solid waste. The new waste-to-fuel switch provisions in the final rule include requirements to conduct performance testing that will assure compliance with all applicable standards. Specifically, performance tests must be conducted within 60 days of the date on which the unit begins combusting solid waste. In addition, the owner or operator must collect and report any PM CEMS and/or PM parametric monitoring data for those monitors that are operated at the same time as the performance test to determine whether the existing calibrations and/or correlations are still applicable. After the testing is completed, and it is demonstrated that the source is operating in compliance with the applicable standards, the owner or operator should adjust any PM CEMS Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 57 of 450 calibration and any correlation for PM to correspond to the performance test results and data. The new provisions also require advance notification of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch. The notification includes basic information that will enable the reviewing authority to determine the date on which CISWI will no longer apply to the facility and the date on which any newly applicable section 112 regulations may apply. Notification must be submitted to both the EPA Regional Office and the delegated state or local agency. To ensure that frequent switching does not impede our ability to determine continuous compliance, sources may not switch between applicable section 129 and section 112 standards without completing the initial performance test. Therefore, sources that wish to start burning solid waste before they have demonstrated compliance with their existing section 112 standard must complete the performance test for the 112 rule before switching to solid waste combustion. If a source switches back to a fuel or non-waste material for which a performance test was conducted withinthe 6 months preceding the effective date of the fuel-towaste or waste-to-fuel switch, and if there are no changed conditions that would affect emissions, the source need not Deleted: 51

Deleted: regional office***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 58 of 450 retest that source until 6 months from the effective date of the switch. If a source is subject to any emissions limits for which compliance is determined on an annual average or other averaging period that is for a period of time less than the period in which the source will be combusting the fuel or non-waste material, the source must comply with the emission limit in the shorter time period in which the fuel or material is combusted. For example, if a source chooses to demonstrate compliance with the Hg limits of the major source Boiler NESHAP through fuel analysis, which has a 12- month rolling average limit, and opts to start burning solid waste and become subject to CISWI after combusting the fuel under the Boiler NESHAP for only 9 months, the source must demonstrate compliance with the Hg limit based on a 9-month average instead of the annual average. The EPA believes this is necessary to assure that switching to solid waste combustion does not compromise our ability to determine compliance with standards under section 112. The rules do not allow for compliance extensions associated with changes to the fuels or materials that are combusted. After the first substantive compliance date (e.g., the effective date of the state program or 5 years after publication of the final CISWI rule for incineration Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 59 of 450 units), sources must be in compliance with the standard that is applicable to the source based on the type of unit and the fuels or materials that are combusted. Sources that change fuels or materials are considered existing sources and, as such, they must be in compliance on the date they begin combusting the new fuel or material. For example, a waste-burning cement kiln that ceases burning solid waste becomes subject to and must comply with the Portland Cement NESHAP as of the date that it is no longer subject to CISWI. For all sources that commence combustion of solid waste, the CISWI requirements become applicable on the date that the fuel switch occurs. 2. Homogeneous waste

Comment: Many commenters requested that EPA reaffirm the exemption of qualifying small power production and cogeneration facilities as promulgated in the 2000 CISWI regulations. Several commenters requested that EPA clarify the term “homogeneous waste.” Some commenters requested that certain mixtures or blends of fuels fall under the definition of homogeneous waste. Response : Homogeneous wastes are stable, consistent in formulation, have known fuel properties, have a defined origin, have predictable chemical and physical attributes, and result in consistent Deleted: 51

Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.5" Deleted: ¶***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 60 of 450 combustion characteristics and have a consistent emissions profile. Qualifying small power production and cogeneration facilities requesting an exemption from CISWI on the basis that they burn homogeneous waste may be asked to demonstrate, using defined test methods acceptable to EPA, that the physical and chemical characteristics of the waste are consistent throughout such that the emission profile of any sample of waste combusted is similar or identical to any other sample. Mixtures of different types of wastes are generally not homogeneous, unless the mixtures are from materials that are each individually determined to be homogeneous, are from known origin, are mixed in constant proportion, and are conditioned or processed, such as would occur in the gasification of the wastes. Gasification processes that incorporate clean up technologies in the production of synthesis gas would generally result in a homogeneous product, however a consistent waste input would still be necessary to ensure a consistent emissions profile of the synthesis gas. Whether a waste is homogeneous is a case-by-case determination. As such, EPA has added provisions to the CISWI rule that require source owners or operators seeking the exemption to submit a Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 61 of 450 request for a homogeneous fuel determination to EPA, and that they support their request with information describing the materials to be combusted and why they believe the waste is homogeneous. The determination of what constitutes a homogeneous waste is not delegable to the state or local agencies. 3. Lab Analysis Units

Comment: Commenters stated that they do not believe CAA section 129 is intended to regulate laboratory analysis units that involve combustion to generate analytical results. Commenters contend that samples are not solid waste and have definite purpose separate from disposal of sample material. They stated that it is physically impossible for many, if not all, of these uses to comply with CISWI requirements and therefore operations would likely cease. Several commenters indicated that it is unclear as to whether the material referenced in the existing definition of laboratory units in 40 CFR 60.2020(o)(subpart CCCC) and 40 CFR 60.2555(o)(subpart DDDD) is a solid waste. Several commenters stated that other CISWI requirements including operator certification, performance tests, and SSM requirements are not appropriate for laboratory units. If regulated, commenters requested that EPA clarify whether the rule is applicable to all Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 62 of 450 laboratory units or limited to those at commercial and industrial facilities. Many argued that EPA underestimated the number of laboratory units affected by this regulation because the Phase I ICR was not clear that these units were included in the scope of the survey. Commenters also stated that EPA did not provide cost or impact analysis for these units. Response : EPA agrees that samples used in laboratory analysis units have a purpose separate from the disposal of material, and we believe based on the information available at this time , that the material that is combusted is likely not a solid waste as that term is defined in the Solid Waste Definition Rule. We have no information that refutes our conclusions, and we have no data from laboratory analysis units on which to establish section 129 standards in any case . We have determined that this final action will not subject laboratory analysis units to this standard. 4. Asphalt recycling

Comment : One commenter requested that EPA provide a clarification as to whether asphalt plants utilizing recycled asphalt would be subject to the CISWI rule. Response : EPA did not receive any information to indicate that recycled asphalt is a solid waste, or that Deleted: 51

Deleted: ; however, laboratory analysis units combusting solid waste and located at commercial and industrial facilities are incineration units subject to CISWI. We have in the final rule deferred regulation of these units and required laboratory analysis units combusting solid waste and located at commercial and industrial facilities to notify EPA of their existence and to describe the process at such units.***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 63 of 450 the recycled asphalt or solid waste is being combusted in asphalt plants. Absent that information, we are not establishing separate standards regulating asphalt plants at this time. However, any combustion unit that combusts solid waste and meets the definition of a CISWI unit may be subject to the CISWI rule, including combustion units at asphalt plants. If the combustion unit is recovering useful heat (e.g., process heaters and boilers), the unit may be subject to standards applicable to ERUs and sources should contact EPA or their state for a specific determination. 5. Chemical Recovery (SARUs)

Comment : Several commenters suggested that EPA provide a clear definition of a chemical recovery unit in the final rule. They requested that EPA specifically define chemical recovery units burning pulping liquors and kilns burning lime as not CISWI units. Commenters suggested that EPA include language that explicitly states SARUs are not subject to CISWI citing the CAA exemption for analogous processes. Some commenters argued that materials burned in SARUs are not “solid wastes” because they are not burned for the purpose of being disposed of or discarded. Instead, commenters asserted that the primary purpose of SARUs is to combust Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 64 of 450 materials to recover sulfur in order to produce virgin sulfuric acid. A few commenters also stated that SARUs are already regulated under 40 CFR part 60, subpart H, Standards of Performance for Sulfuric Acid Plants. Response : The Solid Waste Definition Rule exempts materials pursuant to subtitle C of RCRA. Any SARU, chemical recovery unit, recovery furnace, or lime kiln that is exempt pursuant to subtitle C of RCRA is not a CISWI unit subject to this final rule unless the unit combusts material that is solid waste and is not specifically exempt from the definition pursuant to subtitle C of RCRA. We are currently not aware of any subtitle C exempt facilities burning such materials. We are also not aware of any lime kilns that are combusting solid waste as that term is defined in the Solid Waste Definition Rule. To the extent there are lime kilns or chemical recovery units combusting solid waste, those units may be subject to the final CISWI standards as incinerators, ERUs, or waste-burning kilns, as appropriate. Units discussed in this comment that are combusting solid waste should consult EPA or their state concerning applicability of this final rule to their combustion unit. 6. Exemptions – Hazardous Waste Combustion Units Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 65 of 450

Comment : Several commenters urged EPA to retain the exemption for hazardous waste combustion units or clarify that these units are not subject to the proposed rule and do not need an exemption. Commenters suggested that the removal of this exemption could shift certain RCRA provisions from a RCRA permit to a Title V permit. Response : Hazardous waste combustion units that are required to have a permit under section 3005 of the SWDA are exempt from CAA section 129 rules per CAA section 129(g)(1). Thus, these hazardous waste combustion units would not be subject to the CISWI requirements. 7. CISWI Promulgation Schedule and 112(c)(6) Obligations

Comment : Many commenters requested that EPA delay issuing the CISWI standard until the Solid Waste Definition Rule is finalized. They argued that the c ourt-ordered deadline does not apply to CISWI and that the lack of certainty in the outcome of the Non-Hazardous Solid Waste Definition Rule affects all aspects of the CISWI proposal including the number of facilities affected, the MACT floors, and the total anticipated compliance costs. Some commenters believe that this violates EPA’s duty to provide a full and fair opportunity to develop and submit comments on the proposal. They contend that this problem can onlybe addressed by promulgating the waste rule and then reDeleted: 51

One commenter suggests that EPA’s proposal to treat the proposed CAA section 129 standards as satisfying CAA section 112(c)(6) requirements is unlawful. They argue that EPA’s statement that its proposed CAA section 129 standards “effectively control” emissions of POM and PCBs, identified in CAA section 112(c)(6) as pollutants for which EPA must regulate 90 percent of aggregate emissions under CAA sections 112(d)(2) or 112(d)(4), is illegal. The commenter asserts that the CAA requires EPA to subject 90 percent of the emissions of the pollutants identified in CAA section 112(c)(6), including POM and PCBs, to CAA section 112(d)(2) or (d)(4) standards. The commenter argues that assuming EPA could meet CAA section 112(c)(6) requirements by taking credit for standards established under CAA section 129, EPA would have to set specific CAA section 129 standards for POM and PCBs. They suggest that although CAA section 129(a)(4) gives EPA authority to do just that, EPA has not proposed CAA section 129 standards for POM or PCBs. The commenter believes that the proposed CISWI standards would not satisfy CAA section 112(c)(6) even if CAA section 129 standards could do so. The commenter states that EPA cannot meet its obligations to Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 67 of 450 regulate PCBs and POM under CAA section 112(c)(6) with the proposed CAA section 129 standards for other pollutants. Another commenter claims that they cannot find documentation in the proposed rulemaking package to explain how and why coverage of CISWI sources is necessary to meet the 90 percent requirement. Response : EPA disagrees with the commenters who suggest the Court-ordered deadline does not apply to certain CISWI units. The EPA maintains that we are under a Court-ordered deadline to complete our CAA section 112(c)(6) obligations by January 16, 2011. Because we need certain CISWI units to comply with our 112(c)(6) obligations, the Court-ordered deadline requires EPA to promulgate the CISWI standards for certain subcategories by January 16, 2010. The EPA may therefore not postpone issuance of the final CISWI rules until after the Solid Waste Definition Rule is promulgated. Section 112(c)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to regulate sources accounting for not less than 90 percent of the aggregate emissions of each pollutant listed in CAA section 112(c)(6). EPA has historically interpreted CAA section 112(c)(6) as allowing EPA to count CAA section 129 emission standards, such as CISWI, for the purpose of meeting its 90 percent obligation under CAA section 112(c)(6) (62 FR Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 68 of 450 33625, 33632, June 20, 1997). For example, both municipal waste combustion units and medical waste incinerators are listed CAA section 112(c)(6) source categories, and they are regulated under CAA section 129. As EPA stated in 1998, we need to issue emissionsstandards for all Portland Cement kilns that combust nonhazardous waste (both major and area sources) to meet our obligation under CAA section 112(c)(6) (63 FR 17838, 17849, April 10, 1998). In addition, EPA must issue standards for commercial and institutional combustion units (e.g., boilers and process heaters) to comply with the section 112(c)(6) obligation (63 FR 32006, June 4, 2010). We must set standards for all CAA section 112(c)(6) categories by the Court-ordered deadline, and that includes setting emission standards pursuant to CAA section 129 for those Portland Cement kilns and commercial and institutional boilers and process heaters that combust non-hazardous solid waste and are thus subject to CISWI as waste-burning kilns and ERUs, respectively. As we stated in section VI of the proposed rule, section 112(c)(6) of the CAA requires EPA to identify categories of sources of seven specified pollutants to assure that sources accounting for not less than 90 percent of the aggregate emissions of each such pollutant are Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 69 of 450 subject to standards under CAA section 112(d)(2) or 112(d)(4). EPA has identified certain CISWI units as sources necessary to meet the 90 percent requirement under section 112(c)(6). In the Federal Register notice “Source Category Listing for Section 112(d)(2) Rulemaking Pursuant to Section 112(c)(6) Requirements , ” 63 FR 17838, 17849, Table 2 (1998), EPA identified source categories that must be “subject to regulation” for purposes of CAA section 112(c)(6). Included in that list are cement kilns and combustion units (e.g., major source boilers and process heaters). Cement kilns, boilers, and process heaters that combust solid waste are subject to the CAA section 129 standards for CISWI as either waste-burning kilns or ERUs. These CISWI units emit five of the seven CAA section 112(c)(6) pollutants: POM, dioxins, furans, Hg and PCBs. The POM emitted by CISWI is composed of 7-PAH, 16-PAH, and

EOM. For purposes of CAA section 112(c)(6), EPA has determined that standards promulgated under CAA section 129 are substantively equivalent to those promulgated under CAA section 112(d). (63 FR 17845; 62 FR 33625, 33632 (1997)). As discussed in more detail in response to comments on this issue, the CAA section 129 standards effectively control emissions of the five identified CAA section 112(c)(6) Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 70 of 450 pollutants. Further, since CAA section 129(h)(2) precludes EPA from regulating CISWI units under CAA section 112(d), EPA cannot further regulate the emissions of 112(c)(6) pollutants from CISWI units under CAA section 112(d). As a result, EPA considers emissions of these five pollutants from waste-burning kilns and ERUs “subject to standards” for purposes of CAA section 112(c)(6). The remaining CISWI subcategories will be subject to MACT standards either in this action or in a future action, but regulation of the remaining subcategories is not required for EPA to complete its 112(c)(6) obligations. As required by the statute, the CAA section 129 CISWI standards include numeric emission limitations for the nine pollutants specified in CAA section 129(a)(4). The combination of waste segregation, good combustion practices, and add-on air pollution control equipment (sorbent injection, FF, wet scrubbers, or combinations thereof) effectively reduces emissions of the pollutants for which emission limits are required under CAA section 129: Hg, dioxins, furans, Cd, Pb, PM, SO 2 , HCl, CO, and

NO x . Thus, the standards specifically require reduction in emissions of three of the CAA section 112(c)(6) pollutants: dioxins, furans, and Hg. As explained below, the air pollution controls necessary to comply with the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 71 of 450 requirements of the CISWI standards also effectively reduce emissions of the following CAA section 112(c)(6) pollutants that are emitted from waste-burning kilns and ERUs: POM and PCBs. Although the CAA section 129 CISWI standards do not have separate, specific emissions standards for POM and PCBs, emissions of these two CAA section 112(c)(6) pollutants are effectively controlled by the same control measures used to comply with the numerical emissions limits for the pollutants enumerated in CAA section 129(a)(4). Specifically, as by-products of combustion, the formation of POM and PCBs is effectively reduced by the combustion and post-combustion practices required to comply with the CAA section 129 standards, primarily the standards for CO and D/F. In fact, EPA has used CO as a surrogate for organic HAP such as POM, and the controls for PCBs are the same controls that reduce emissions of dioxin and furans. Polycyclic Organic Matter and PCBs that do form duringcombustion are further controlled by the various postcombustion CISWI controls. The add-on PM control systems (either FF or wet scrubber) and ACI further reduce emissions of these organic pollutants and also reduce Hg emissions, as is evidenced by performance data for MWCs and another similar source category, HMIWI. Specifically, the post-MACT compliance tests at currently operating HMIWI Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 72 of 450 that were also operational at the time of promulgation of the 1997 HMIWI MACT standards show that, for those units, the regulations reduced Hg emissions by about 60 percent and reduced dioxin and furans emissions by about 80 percent from pre-MACT levels. Dioxin and furans have similar chemical composition and structure as PCBs and POM; moreover, similar controls have been demonstrated to reduce emissions of D/F, POM, and PCBs from MWCs. It is reasonable to conclude that POM and PCB emissions would be effectively controlled to a MACT level at all CISWI units meeting the emission limits for the section 129 pollutants. Thus, while the rule does not identify specific numerical limits for POM and PCB, emissions of those pollutants are, for the reasons noted above, nonetheless “subject to regulation” for purposes of CAA section 112(c)(6). Finally, we disagree with comments that EPA should not finalize the CISWI standards until after the Solid Waste Definition Rule is final because EPA does not know the population of sources that will be subject to the CISWI standards. As stated above, we must finalize the CISWI standards for certain subcategories to comply with the Court-ordered deadline; but, in any case, we would not postpone the standards absent the deadline based on the commenters’ issue. EPA must establish standards for all Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 73 of 450 rules based on the best information available at the time of issuance. In this case, we have included those units that we believe combust solid waste as that term is defined in the final Solid Waste Definition Rule. We have no information at this time that allows us to determine that the units we have included are not combusting solid waste. Furthermore, sources in the waste-burning kilns and ERUs subcategories and their CAA section 112 counterparts may start or stop combusting solid waste at any time and thus move between CAA sections 112 and 129. Sources in any of the subcategories could also cease operation all together. For these reasons, we conclude it is not appropriate to postpone regulation in this case because we could never be certain that the list of units we identify is perfect. We maintain that the approach we have taken is reasonable because it is based on the best information available to EPA at the time of promulgation. 8. CISWI Implementation Schedule

Comment : Several commenters suggested that the date for compliance should be set at 5 or 6 years, not 3 years. Several commenters raised concern that many facilities may not have sufficient time to engineer and design the emissions control systems, raise the amount of capital to purchase the equipment, and install the required equipment. Deleted: 51

Deleted:***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 74 of 450 In addition, there could be hardware backlogs, insufficient skilled labor, and gridlock in state permitting processes which could delay compliance. Further commenters stated that they need time to plan a shutdown of a unit when everything is properly staged to ensure minimal disruption of the facility’s operation. Response : The terms of CAA section 129(b)(2), where state plan implementation schedules are specified, outline the maximum time available for implementation and enforcement of EG for solid waste incineration units. As CAA section 129(b)(2) states, the state plan “...shall provide that each unit subject to the guidelines shall be in compliance with all requirements of this section not later than 3 years after the state plan is approved by the Administrator but not later than 5 years after the guidelines were promulgated.” This allows 2 years for state plans to be updated, modified, and approved by the Administrator, followed by a period of compliance not to exceed 3 years after the state plan has been approved. B. MACT Floor Analysis 1. Pollutant-by-Pollutant Approach and Alternative Approaches.

Comment : Many commenters objected to setting MACT floors on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis. They argue that Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 75 of 450 setting MACT floors on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis is unlawful and results in MACT floors that bear no relationto emission limits that are being achieved at the bestperforming existing sources pursuant to CAA section 129(a)(2). The commenters suggested that EPA has misinterpreted many court cases involving CAA section 112(d) over the years and that the proposed MACT standards are inconsistent with the legal principles established under previous court decisions because emission standards must be "achieved in practice" before finalizing the regulation. Commenters continued by explaining that EPAapplies the "achieved in practice" standard on a pollutantby-pollutant basis, which results in a final standard that they assert has never been achieved by any subject facility or best performer. Some commenters contended that this method violates the plain language and intent of the MACT process, and the result is a MACT floor that reflects a standard that no one plant in existence currently achieves. The commenters declared that the plain language of MACT process requires EPA to set a MACT floor for existing sources that is not less stringent than "the average emission limitation achieved by the best-performing 12 percent of units in the category." The commenters asserted that CAA sections 129(a)(2) and 112(d) use of the terms Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 76 of 450 "best-performing" and "existing" clearly means that sources in a category or subcategory that are used to set the MACT floor are to be real, not theoretical or hypothetical sources. Some commenters maintained that CAA section 129(a)(2) instructs that the MACT floor "shall not be less stringent than the emission control that is achieved in practice by the best controlled similar source" and the phrase "achieved in practice" can only mean that Congress intended actual sources, performing under real-life conditions, to be the benchmark for determining the MACT floors. The commenters stated that in the CISWI rulemaking, EPA has chosen to establish the MACT floor byassessing the best-performing sources on a pollutant-bypollutant basis, rather than by identifying the overall best-performing sources taking into account all pollutants. Some commenters insisted that if Congress wanted EPA to establish separate MACT floor levels for different pollutants, it would have worded CAA section 129(a)(2) to allow this result by referring to the best-performing sources "for each pollutant" or "for each group ofpollutants." Further, they argued that EPA’s pollutant-bypollutant methodology is at odds with the legislative history underlying the MACT setting process. The commenters cited the Senate report on the 1990 Amendments Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 77 of 450 where Congress required "the selection of emissions limitations which have been achieved in practice (rather than those which are merely theoretical) by sources of a similar type or character. An emissions limitation achieved in practice is one based on control technology that works reasonably well (doesn’t require frequent and extensive modification or repair) under realistic operating conditions.” See S. Rep. No. 228, 101st Cong., 1st Sess. 169 (1989). The commenters suggested that the focus on overall performance is not surprising because in the 1990 CAA Amendments, Congress abandoned the previous focus onindividual pollutant standards, and adopted the technologybased multi-pollutant approach to regulating emissions in use under the CWA. A few commenters suggested that if one source can achieve a firm degree of control for one pollutant but not for another, there may be no justification for including it in the set of sources from which the floor is calculated. Several commenters recommended that EPA develop overall rankings for each unit in each subcategory based on their emissions of all nine pollutants and develop floors based on a common set of top performers. The commenters asserted that this approach would identify the overall best-performing sources taking into account all pollutants. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 78 of 450 The commenters argued that the statute unambiguously directs EPA to set standards based on the overall performance of “units.” They maintained that CAA section 129 (a)(2) specifies that emissions standards must be established based on the performance of “units” in the category or subcategory, and that EPA’s discretion in setting standards for such units is limited to distinguishing among classes, types, and sizes of units. By setting floors based on the average of the top performing 12 percent of units in a subcategory and also using a confidence limit to attempt to account for variability, one would assume that at least 6 percent of all units in each subcategory would be able to comply with the emission limits with no further controls. Several commenters argued that while an individualMACT floor for one pollutant might not appear costprohibitive, the total cost implications when combined with all of the other MACT floors for other pollutants, could become especially onerous, potentially forcing some regulated parties out of business, and barring the market entry for other potential entities. The commenters contended that this result is compounded when the proposed emission limits cannot be met even after the installation and proper operation of MACT hardware such as scrubbers and Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 79 of 450 baghouses. The commenters stated that some facilities cannot operate certain types of control devices due to local operational constraints and feed material composition. The commenters declared that such a result violates the court’s declaration in National Lime Association 627 F.2d 416, 443 (D.C. Cir. 1980), that under the CAA "EPA has a statutory duty to promulgate achievable standards." A few commenters insisted that while the CAA was authored with the intent of reducing air pollution, Congress did not intend to disrupt the "productive capacity" of the United States through the promulgation of economically unachievable standards. 42 U.S.C. 7401(b)(1). The commenters maintained that by setting MACT floors individually and ignoring the collective cost implications of the entire rule, EPA would effectively disregard the CAA requirement that air pollution control be advanced while promoting the nation’s "productive capacity." The commenters stated that emissions standards are to be established by taking costs into consideration. 42 U.S.C. 7429(a)(2). One commenter discussed that EPA previously used a pollutant-by-pollutant methodology to set MACT floors in the context of the Proposed National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Waste Combustors (69 FR 21198, April 20, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 80 of 450 2004), hereinafter referred to as the HWC NESHAP. The commenter stated that several parties submitted public comments questioning EPA’s approach and pointed to the fact that EPA had failed to cite a single existing source which met the various MACT floor standards. They stated that EPAattempted to defend its practice of establishing pollutantby-pollutant MACT standards by citing the Chemical Manufacturer Association v. EPA , 870 F.2d 177, 239 1989), clarified 885 F.2d 253, 264 (5th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 495 U.S. 910, (1990), a Fifth Circuit case where the court held that, under the CWA, "best available technology" referred to the single best-performing plant on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis. The commenter asserts that EPA's reliance on Chemical Manufacturer Association v. EPA is misplaced as the CAA's procedure regarding the selection of MACT technologies differs on a textual basis from the CWA’s procedure for identifying BAT. The commenter argued that under the CWA, BAT standards are to be set based on "the best practicable control technology currently available." The commenter suggested that the Court in Chemical Manufacturer Association v. EPA read this provision to allow for pollutant-by-pollutant determinations finding no statutory requirement that all of the BATs actually be achieved by an existing plant, just Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 81 of 450 that each technology be demonstrated available. 885 F.2d at 264. The commenter continued that the CAA, on the other hand, more narrowly limits the basis for MACT designation to what has been achieved at existing sources, not what could be hypothetically achievable on a per-pollutant basis. A few commenters also cited the HWC NESHAP as an example where EPA attempted to support its use of the pollutant-by-pollutant methodology by stating that "EPA believes that because all our standards are not technically interdependent (i.e., implementation of one emission control technology does not prevent the source from implementing another control technology), the fact that sources are not achieving all the standards simultaneously does not indicate a flaw in the methodology." The commenters argued that EPA's conclusion in the HWC NESHAP is inapplicable to the proposed CISWI rule. They provided an example problem that they claimed has been observed in the MSW industry using ACI (an EPA-identified technology to reduce Hg emissions) and could also occur in the cement industry could be the formation of additional solid-phase dioxins/furans, thus increasing the emissions of D/F (which are regulated under the MACT standards). The commenters suggested that these findings call into question EPA's Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 82 of 450 legal justification that control requirements for one pollutant do not impact another. Several commenters suggested that there is an inverse relationship between CO and NO x where improving combustion to control CO may affect

NO x . Finally, many commenters requested that EPA require work practice standards in lieu of emission limits for certain ERUs. Response : We disagree with the commenters who object to setting MACT floors on a pollutant-by

- pollutant basis. Contrary to the commenters’ suggestion, CAA section 129(a)(2) does not mandate a total facility approach. EPA previously has explained that although CAA section 129 does not unambiguously declare that MACT floors must be established on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis, applying the requirement to set MACT floors based on what has been achieved by the best-performing sources for each of the pollutants covered by CAA section 129 is a reasonable interpretation of EPA’s obligation under that provision (62 FR 48363-64). Commenters’ primary argument is premised on a reading of two clauses in CAA section 129(a)(2). Specifically, commenters cite the provision of CAA section 129 that, for new sources, states that MACT floors "shall not be less stringent than the emission control that is achieved in Deleted: 51

Deleted:

Deleted:***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 83 of 450 practice by the best controlled similar unit" and, for existing sources, states that MACT floors must be based on“the average emissions limitation achieved by the bestperforming 12 percent of units in the category.” Commenters make the assumption that “achieved in practice”as applied to the best controlled “similar unit” and “bestperforming 12 percent of units in the category” must be interpreted to mean the best-performing unit or units with respect to the entire suite of pollutants. EPA makes no such assumption, primarily because to do so would lead to the illogical result of basing emissions limitations on units that may not be the best-performing source for any single covered pollutant. Instead, EPA interprets the provision to support establishing emissions standards based on the actual emissions of “the best controlled similar unit” or “best-performing 12 percent of units in the category” for each covered pollutant. Even if we were to conclude that the commenters’ interpretation is equally reasonable under the statute, which we do not, the commenters’ interpretation is certainly not compelled by the statute. We maintain that our interpretation is reasonable under the statute and appropriate given the problems associated with implementing the commenters’ approach. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 84 of 450 Commenters’ interpretation also ignores the rest of the CAA section 129. That provision requires EPA to “establish performance standards and other requirements pursuant to section [111] of this title and this section [129] for each category of solid waste incineration units.” Pursuant to CAA section 129(a)(2), those standards “shall reflect the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of air pollutants listed under section (a)(4 ) that the Administrator, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emission reduction, and any nonair quality health and environmental impacts and energy requirements, determines is achievable for new or existing units in each category” (emphasis added). Subsection (a)(4) then states: “The performance standards promulgated under section [111] of this title and this section [129] and applicable to solid waste incineration units shall specify numerical emissions limitations for the following substances or mixtures: particulate matter (total and fine), opacity (as appropriate), sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, mercury, and dioxins and furans.” Thus, the statute requires EPA to set individual numeric (a) performance standards; (b) based on the maximum degree of reduction in emissions actually achieved; (c) for each of nine listed pollutants. Based on Deleted: 51

Deleted: )...”***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 85 of 450 this, EPA believes – and has long believed – the statute supports, if not requires, that MACT floors be derived for each pollutant based on the emissions levels achieved for each pollutant. Looking at the statute as a whole, EPA declared in 1997 rulemaking for medical waste incinerators: “The EPA does not agree that the MACT floors are to be based upon one overall unit” (62 FR 48364). Pointing for instance to CAA section 129(a)(4), EPA explained: This provision certainly appears to direct maximum reduction of each specified pollutant. Moreover, although the provisions do not state whether there is to be a separate floor for each pollutant, the fact that Congress singled out these pollutants suggests that the floor level of control need not be limited by the performance of devices that only control some of these pollutants well. Id. Since 1997, the courts have consistently acknowledgedthat EPA set emission standards based on the bestperforming source for each pollutant. See, e.g. , Cement Kiln , 255 F.3d 855, 858 (D.C. Cir.) (“[T]he Agency first sets emission floors for each pollutant and source category...”). Accordingly, EPA’s pollutant-by-pollutant approach has, as outlined above, been in place since 1997 for medical waste incinerators, and even earlier for other types of incinerators regulated under section 129. See, Deleted: 51

e.g. , 59 FR 48198 (Sept. 20, 1994) (MWC). Commenters failto cite to a single case even questioning EPA’s pollutantby-pollutant approach. In addition, such an approach has been upheld in other contexts. See, e.g. , Chemical
Manufacturers Association v. EPA , 870 F.2d 177, 239 (5 th Cir. 1989) (concluding that basing CWA BAT standards on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis was a rational interpretation of EPA’s obligations under that similar statute). Commenters maintain that the CWA BAT analogy is not apt due to differences in the statute. We disagree and note that the CAA MACT provisions were fashioned on that CWA program. S. Rep. No. 228, 101 st Cong. 2d sess. 133-34. Further, utilizing the single-unit theory proffered by commenters would likely result in EPA setting the standards at levels that could, for some pollutants, actually be based on emissions limitations achieved by the worst

performing unit, rather than the best- performing unit, as required by the statute (61 FR 173687, April 19, 1996; 62 FR 48363-64, September 15, 1997). For example, if the best-performing 12 percent of facilities for metals did not control PCDD/PCDF as well as a different 12 percent of facilities, the floor for PCDD/PCDF and metals would end up not reflecting best performance. Moreover, a single-unit approach would require EPA to make value judgments as to Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 87 of 450 which pollutant reductions are most critical in working to identify the single unit that reduces emissions of the nine pollutants on an overall best-performing basis. Such value judgments are antithetical to the command of the statute at the MACT floor stage. It would essentially require EPA to prioritize the nine pollutants based on the relative risk to human health of each pollutant, a criterion that has no place in the establishment of MACT floors. The idea is to set limits that, as an initial matter, require all sources in a category to at least clean up their emissions to the level that their best performing peers have shown can be achieved. Sierra Club v. EPA (Copper Smelters) , 353 F.3d 976, 979-80 (D.C. Cir. 2004). Commenters’ argument that Congress could have mandated a pollutant-by-pollutant result by using the phrase “for each pollutant” at appropriate points in CAA section 129 (a)(2) misses the point. While doing so would have removed ambiguity from CAA section 129(a)(2), the fact that the statute does not contain the phrase does not compel any inference that Congress was sub silentio mandating a different result when it left the provision ambiguous onthis issue. The argument that MACT floors set pollutantby-pollutant are based on the performance of a hypothetical facility, so that the limitations are not based on those Deleted: 51

Formatted: Font: Georgia, 11 pt***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 88 of 450 achieved in practice, just re-begs the question of whether CAA section 129 (a)(2) refers to whole facilities or individual pollutants. All of the limitations in the floors in this rule of course reflect sources’ actual performance and were achieved in practice. An interpretation that the floor level of control must be limited by the performance of devices that only control some of these pollutants effectively “guts the standards” by including worse performers in the averaging process, whereas EPA’s interpretation promotes the evident Congressional objective of having the floor reflect the average performance of best-performing sources. Since Congress has not spoken to the precise question at issue, and EPA’s interpretation effectuates statutory goals and policies in a reasonable manner, its interpretation must be upheld. See Chevron v. NRDC , 467 U.S. 837 (1984). The legislative history can sometimes be so clear as to give clear meaning to what is otherwise ambiguous statutory text, but that is not the case with the legislative history cited by the commenters: "the selection of emissions limitations which have been achieved in practice (rather than those which are merely theoretical) by sources of a similar type or character. An emissions limitation achieved in practice is one based on Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 89 of 450 control technology that works reasonably well (doesn’t require frequent and extensive modification or repair) under realistic operating conditions." See S. Rep. No. 228, 101st Cong., 1st Sess. 169 (1989). In fact, that language quoted equally supports EPA’s approach of establishing the standards based on actual emission data from existing sources, which we consider realistic operating conditions. We further consider whether all the MACT standards can be achieved simultaneously under realistic operating conditions by evaluating the compatibility of different control technologies for the various 129 pollutants, as discussed below. Commenters also make much of the fact that no single facility is presently achieving all of the nine pollutant limits proposed. But this fact is irrelevant, and only shows that plants will need to reduce their emissions of certain pollutants to meet standards reflecting the average of best industry performers for that pollutant. We recognize that the pollutant-by-pollutant approach for determining the MACT floor can, as it does in this case, increase the overall cost of the regulation compared to the cost under a unit-based methodology. For example, the pollutant-by-pollutant approach for the CISWI regulation results in a stringent MACT floor for HCl based on control Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 90 of 450 using a wet scrubber, and stringent MACT floors for PM and metals based on control using a FF. We interpret CAA section 129 to support determining the MACT floor in this manner, and we believe that Congress did in fact, intend that sources subject to regulations developed under CAA section 129 meet emissions limits that are achieved by the best controlled unit for each pollutant, as long as the control systems are compatible with each other. To our knowledge, there is no technical reason why these air pollution control systems cannot be combined. Regarding the inverse relationship between CO and NO x with regard to combustion control, it is incumbent upon the CISWI facility to determine whether combustion conditions can be adjusted to meet both standards and, if not, install add-on NO x controls as necessary, e.g., SNCR systems. All available data for cement kilns indicate that there is no technical problem achieving the floor levels for each pollutant simultaneously, using the MACT floor technology. For most kilns, compliance with the Hg limits will be accomplished using ACI followed by a second PM control consisting of a FF. There is no technical impediment to using this same system for control of PCDD/PCDF. We note that the ACI system would have to be installed downstream of the existing PM control, therefore, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 91 of 450 there would be no effect on the cement kiln dust collected in the existing PM control. One industry commenter claimed ACI increases dioxin emissions. Considering the fact that ACI can actually be used to remove dioxins from kiln exhaust gas, we see no basis for that statement. Regarding the commenter’s claim that ACI increases D/F in MWC, our experience with the MWC source category has shown that this technology has been demonstrated to be effective at reducing D/F emissions from these sources and is being used extensively by MWC units. Furthermore, we have not been provided information from either the commenter or the MWC industry that substantiates the commenter’s claim that ACI increases D/F emissions from these sources. After the ACI system, a wet scrubber can be used for HCl and SO 2 control. We would expect the wet scrubber to
be the downstream control because it creates a moisture laden exhaust that would require reheating to then apply ACI. Again, there is no technical impediment to adding a wet scrubber after the ACI system, and the two control devices should not interfere with each other’s performance. If the facility required an RTO to meet the CO limit, the RTO would be installed downstream of the wet scrubber in order to protect the RTO from any acid gases in the kiln Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 92 of 450 exhaust. The wet scrubber/RTO combination has been demonstrated in cement kiln applications. In order to meet the PM and metals standards a facility could choose to modify their existing PM control to meet the revised limits, or design a new baghouse downstream of the ACI injection point to meet the PM and metals limits. Though we have described some fairly complicated control scenarios, there are simpler applications of control technology that would likely be used successfully. One example would be simultaneous injection of alkaline materials (lime or sodium compounds) and activated carbon downstream of the existing PM control device followed by collection with a FF. This type of injection scheme would potentially control acid gases (HCl and SO 2 ), PCDD/PCDF, Hg, and PM. Regarding the comment that EPA should consider work practice standards in lieu of emission limits for certain types of ERUs, we again point out that CAA section 129(a)(4) says that the standards promulgated under CAA section 129 shall specify numerical emissions limitations for each pollutant enumerated in that provision. Section 129(a)(4) requires MACT standards for, at a minimum, PM,

SO 2 , HCl, NO x , CO, Pb, Cd, Hg, and PCDD/PCDF. Section 129 Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 93 of 450 does not contain a work practice standard provision similar to that contained in CAA section 112(h) and applicable to

NESHAP. Finally, several commenters suggested that EPA must consider costs when establishing MACT standards. EPA is prohibited from considering costs when determining the minimum standards for each pollutant – the “MACT floor;” however, EPA is required to consider costs, among other things, when evaluating whether the MACT standards shouldbe more stringent than the MACT floor, so called “beyondthe-floor” standards. See section 129(a)(2). EPA did consider costs in its beyond-the-floor analysis consistent with the statute. 2. MACT-on-MACT

Comment : Several commenters argued that EPA’s recalculation of the 2000 MACT floors using post-MACT compliance data results in so-called “MACT-on-MACT” standards. They suggest that the limits are being set using a very small amount of data from a very small number of sources. The commenters argue that for the incinerator subcategory, the presumed reason a small number of units are being used to set the limits is that the existing standard caused many units to shut down. The commenters suggest that the remaining units likely installed or Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 94 of 450 improved controls in order to comply with the original CISWI standards, effectively resulting in the new limits being set based on the top performers among the already top performers. One commenter asserted that these floors cannot be achieved and are contrary to the CAA and the intent of Congress. The commenter urged EPA to use the population of pre-2000 CISWI incinerators and their emissions data to establish the revised MACT floors. The commenter declares that the CAA never intended to impose technology every 5 years with no consideration of costs and risk, and that it is not reasonable to assume that Congress intended for existing sources subject to CAA section 129 to have their standards tightened up to levels comparable to those for new sources over time where their circumstances have not changed. Response : We disagree with the commenters’ assertions that we are employing a MACT-on-MACT approach to set limits that are not achievable by CISWI. The purpose of this action is not to force units who have complied with a lawfully adopted MACT standard to have to subsequently comply with another round of updated MACT standards, but to respond to the voluntary remand granted by the Court. As stated at proposal, we requested a voluntary remand of the 2000 CISWI standards after Sierra Club filed a petition for Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 95 of 450 review of the final CISWI standards, and the Court issued its Cement Kilns decision which called into question EPA’s procedures for establishing MACT floors for CISWI units. Cement Kiln Recycling Coalition v. EPA , 255 F.3d 855 (D.C. Cir. 2001). Specifically, EPA established the 2000 CISWI MACT floors by identifying the MACT floor control technology and calculating the MACT floor using emissions information from all units, not only best-performing units, that used the MACT floor technology. EPA recognized that the Court rejected this methodology in the Cement Kilns case in which the Court rejected EPA’s MACT floor approach under CAA section 112 and concluded that EPA may account for variability by setting the floor at a level that reasonably estimates the performance of the best controlled sources under the worst foreseeable conditions but not the worst foreseeable conditions faced by any unit in the source category. Id . at 865. The MACT processes under CAA sections 112 and 129 are essentially the same, thus the decision identified a flaw in EPA’s 2000 CISWI standards. CAA section 129 requires EPA to set the MACT floor based on emissions limitations actually achieved by the best-performing solid waste incineration units. In addition, the Court has made it abundantly clear that in Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 96 of 450 issuing revised MACT standards pursuant to remand, EPA may not ignore this Court’s intervening holdings: If the Environmental Protection Agency disagrees with the Clean Air Act’s requirements for setting emissions standards, it should take its concerns to Congress. If EPA disagrees with this court’s interpretation of the Clean Air Act, it should seek rehearing en banc or file a petition for a writ of certiorari. In the meantime, it must obey the Clean Air Act as written by Congress and interpreted by this court. Sierra Club v. EPA (Brick) , 479 F.3d 875, 884 (D.C. Cir. 2007). The best way to ascertain the actual emissions limitations achieved by the best-performing units, and thus comply with the Court ’ s dictates, is to use data reflecting the actual emissions of operating units. For that reason, EPA collected data from solid waste incineration units, including the existing units in the incinerator subcategory, pursuant to a CAA section 114 ICR. In establishing the revised CISWI standards, we used the emissions information from the existing sources in each subcategory to set the MACT limits. For the incinerator subcategory, we determined that the information available from the 2000 rulemaking was insufficient and limited, and Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 97 of 450 that it did not represent the current emissions limitations achieved by the sources in that subcategory since many of the units in that data set have since shut down. Notwithstanding that clear statutory mandate to establish the MACT floors based on the emission limitations actually achieved by the best-performing sources, commenters assert that EPA’s promulgation of the CISWI standards for the incinerators subcategory conflicts withthe intent of the statute. Commenters use the term “MACTon-MACT” to give the false impression that EPA’s resetting of the MACT floors pursuant to CAA section 129(a)(2) somehow requires sources to constantly upgrade their control technologies. Commenters’ MACT-on-MACT label is based on the faulty premise that the original MACT floors accurately reflected what the statute required. Although the units in the incinerators’ subcategory had to comply with the 2000 MACT floors, the standards were not established based on the performance of the best-performing units as the statute requires and, therefore, the limitations are likely considerably higher than the limits being achieved by the then existing best controlled incinerator units. Accordingly, a more accurate label for the MACT standards as EPA re-proposed them in 2009 might Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 98 of 450be: “MACT-on-Unsupportable-Standards-Erroneously-Labeledas-MACT.” We also disagree with commenters ’ assertion that we should not use the new emissions information from units in the incinerator subcategory, and instead base the MACT standards for the incinerator subcategory on the population of pre-2000 CISWI incinerators and their emissions data to establish the revised MACT floors. The first problem with this approach is that, as commenters note, many of the then existing incinerator units are no longer in operation. Section 129(a)(2) of the CAA requires EPA to establish standards for new units based on the “best controlled similar unit” and, for existing units, based on “theaverage emissions limitation achieved by the bestperforming 12 percent of units in the category.” We fail to see how the statute would allow us to consider emissions limitations from sources no longer in existence or ignore the emissions information on which we based the revised standards, and instead rely on information that does not reflect what sources are actually achieving today. Furthermore, even if we believed we had the authority to ignore the new data and establish the standards based on the inventory of units in existence before the 2000 CISWI standards, we do not have sufficient data from those units Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 99 of 450 on which to base MACT standards based on that pre-2000 universe of sources. Specifically, EPA has data on only 17 units out of an estimated 112 units then in existence, and we have a complete data set for only 12 units. Because we do not have a complete data set, EPA cannot determine whether the then existing units for which we have data from that time period were best-performing units at that time, such that we could develop MACT standards consistent with the statute, and there is no mechanism by which EPA could reconstruct the category at this time. Finally, we disagree with commenters ’ assertion that the units in the incinerator subcategory are unable to meet the revised CISWI standards. As stated above, the emissions data upon which the revised standards rely comes directly from CISWI units that have achieved the resulting levels, and we accounted for variability in establishing the standards to account for the performance of sources over a period time and different operating conditions. We believe that together this demonstrates that the incinerator units can achieve the individual standards, though admittedly units may have to take additional steps to comply with the validly established MACT standards. 3. Methodology (UL or UPL) Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 100 of 450

Comment : At proposal, EPA requested comment on whether an alternate statistical interval should be used, the 99 percent UPL. Some commenters supported the use of the 99 percent UPL, citing cases where this statistical interval had been used in other rulemakings for boilers and cement kilns. Several commenters stated that the statistical method used by EPA in setting the CISWI MACT floors is flawed due to the use of data sets that are not statistically significant. Commenters asserted that the 99 percent UL floor is calculated from data which 99 percent of units in MACT floor data population would fall below, which they argue sets up an automatic 1 percent failure rate for the top 12 percent sources. Commenters request that this be addressed by using a statistical approach which increases the allowance for variability of the data

set. One commenter stated that since EPA is using a limited data set that in some cases contains predominantly nondetect values to set floors that units must meet at all times, consideration of variability , and use of the appropriate statistical approach is crucial to ensuring units can achieve the emission limits. The commenter argues that in cases of severely limited or censored data sets, EPA should use either the 99.9 percent UL or use the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 101 of 450 UTL, which is meant for use in situations where the amount of data available does not represent the entire population. The commenter maintains that EPA is inappropriately using the 99 percent UL statistic to calculate the proposed CISWI emission limits because this does not capture enough variability in emissions to ensure the limits will be met by the top performers 100 percent of the time. They argue that the approach is flawed, given that the number of units the limits are based on is very small, and the limits are being developed on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis in a way that does not account for variability of the fuels and wastes being burned. The commenter asserts that EPA does not justify the appropriateness of the use of the 99 percent UL over the use of other statistical procedures typically used for censored or limited data. Further, the commenter argues that although this calculation methodology was used in the HMIWI standard, it is not consistent with statistical procedures used to develop other emission standards. For example, the commenters explain that EPA used a complicated statistical approach in the development of the HWC NESHAP standard to account for intra-unit variability as well as inter-unit variability among the units in the MACT floor. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 102 of 450 Response : In assessing sources’ performance, EPA may consider variability both in identifying which performers are “best” and in assessing their level of performance. Sierra Club v. EPA (Brick MACT) , 479 F.3d 875, 881-82 (D.C. Cir. 2007); see also Mossville Environmental Action Now v.

EPA , 370 F.3d 1232, 1241–42 (D.C. Cir 2004) (EPA must exercise its judgment, based on an evaluation of the relevant factors and available data, to determine the levelof emissions control that has been achieved by the bestperforming sources considering these sources’ operating variability). The Brick MACT decision reiterated that EPA may account for variability in setting floors; however, the Court found that EPA erred in assessing variability because it relied on data from the worst performers to estimate best performers’ variability. The Court held that “EPA may not use emission levels of the worst performers to estimate variability of the best performers without a demonstrated relationship between the two.” 479 F.3d at 882. In determining the MACT limits, we first determine the floor, which, for existing sources, is the emissions limitation achieved in practice by the average of the top 12 percent of existing sources, or the level achieved in practice by the best controlled similar source for new sources. In this rule, EPA is using lowest emissions Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 103 of 450 limitation as the measure of best performance. We are then assessing variability of the best performers by using a statistical formula designed to estimate a MACT floor level that can be met by the average of the best-performing sources based on the expected distribution of future compliance tests (or calculated inputs in the case of Hg for waste-burning kilns). Specifically, for ERUs and waste-burning kilns, the MACT floor limit is an UPL, and for incinerators and small remote incinerators, the UL calculated with the student’s t-test using the TINV function in Microsoft Excel®. The student’s t-test has also been used in other EPA rulemakings (e.g., NSPS for HMIWI, NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters) in accounting for variability. As we discussed at proposal, the UL computation assumes that the data available represents the entire population of data from the best-performing CISWI units used to establish the standards. We have concluded that this statement applies to the incinerator and small remote incinerator subcategories, since we believe our inventory of these units is more certain than is our inventory of ERUs and waste-burning kilns for several reasons. In the 2000 CISWI rule, EPA only regulated solid waste incineration units that operated for the sole purpose of Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 104 of 450 disposing of waste. Many incinerators subject to the 2000 CISWI rule ceased operation before the compliance date for those standards. Once the revised CISWI standards are finalized, these types of solid waste incineration units (i.e., incinerators and small remote incinerators) will either comply with the revised CISWI standards or cease operation, much as they did in response to the 2000 standards. The same is not necessarily correct for units in the ERUs and waste-burning kilns subcategories. For those sources, once the CISWI standards are promulgated, they will likely either comply with the CISWI standards or cease burning solid waste and comply with the applicable NESHAP. We think units in those subcategories will generally not cease operation. Furthermore, because incinerator and small remote incinerator unit’s sole purpose is waste disposal, the only practical manner in which additional sources will be added to the inventory is through new construction. Again, this is different than for ERUs and waste-burning kilns because, for those subcategories, additional units may be added if existing boilers (and process heaters) and cement kilns begincombusting solid waste and thereby become ERUs and wasteburning kilns, respectively. For these reasons, we believe Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 105 of 450 we have a complete inventory of units in the incinerators and small remote incinerators subcategories. We sent Phase II testing requests to all incinerator and small remote incinerator units that are in our inventory. We required testing for all incinerator and small remote incinerator units, making allowances for identical units from a facility to only test one unit, and not each identical unit. Therefore, our data represent the entire population of data for these two subcategories. For this reason, we believe the UL is the appropriate statistical approach for the incinerators and small remote incinerators subcategories. The 99 percent UL represents a value that 99 percent of the data in the MACT floor population would fall below, and therefore accounts for the run-to-run and test-to-test variability observed in the MACT floor data set. For ERUs and waste-burning kilns, however, we recognize that our data may not represent the entire population of units. As stated above, there is greater uncertainty involved in determining the universe of sources in these two source categories because we cannot be certain that we have identified all the units that would be considered to be burning solid waste, had the newly-adopted definition for solid waste been promulgated and effective Deleted: 51

Deleted: are***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 106 of 450 at the time of testing. We also do not know whether the units we have identified will continue to burn waste after the final CISWI standards are issued. Unlike incinerators and small remote incinerators, the primary purpose of waste-burning kilns and ERUs is the production of a product or generation of energy, not the disposal of waste. Therefore, operators will decide whether it is economically feasible to continue or start combusting solid waste to support their industrial process and, if they decide that it is not, they will use traditional fuels or non-waste inputs instead of solid waste. For example, an ERU that is combusting solid waste that has little or no cost may decide that compliance with CISWI is an economically viable option compared to purchasing traditional fuels at market rates; but, if the costs of compliance with CISWI exceed the costs of traditional fuel, the source will likely cease burning solid waste. Conversely, a boiler that currently combusts only traditional fuels may be presented with a solid waste fuel option that makes it to their economic advantage to begin combusting solid waste. For thesereasons, the population of units in the ERU and wasteburning kiln subcategories is inherently uncertain. We have for these reasons concluded that a prediction interval (e.g., UPL) is more appropriate for these two Deleted: 51

Deleted: we***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 107 of 450 subcategories, and this approach is also consistent withthe NESHAP statistical approach being used for the nonwaste-burning counterparts of these units (i.e., boilers/process heaters and cement kilns). A prediction interval for a future observation is an interval that will, with a specified degree of confidence, contain the next (or some other pre-specified) randomly selected observation from a population. In other words, the prediction interval estimates what the upper bound of future values will be, based upon present or past background samples taken. The UPL consequently represents the value which we can expect the mean of future observations (3-run average) to fall below within a specified level of confidence, based upon the results of an independent sample from the same population. In other words, if we were to select at random a future test condition from any of the top 12 percent (MACT floor pool) of sources (average of 3 runs), we can be 99 percent confident that the reported level will fall at or below the UPL value. Use of the UPL is appropriate in this rulemaking for these two subcategories because it sets a limit any single or future source can meet based on the performance of members of the MACT floor pool. The UPL is calculated as shown in Equation 1: Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 108 of 450

. Where:

x  ̄ = Mean of the sample data set n = Number of test runs m = Number of test runs in the compliance average

s 2 = Observed variance t = Student t distribution statistic This calculation was performed using the following spreadsheet functions: Normal distribution: 99 percent UPL = AVERAGE(Test Runs in Top 12 percent) + [STDEV(Test Runs in Top 12 percent) x TINV(2 x probability, n-1 degrees of freedom)*SQRT((1/n)+(1/m))], for a one-tailed t-value, probability of 0.01, and sample size of n. The value of “m” denotes the number of future observations, and it is used to calculate an estimate of the variance of the average of m-future observations. This formula uses a pooled variance (in the s 2 term) that encompasses all the data-point to data-point variability of the best-performing sources comprising the MACT floor pool for each pollutant. Where variability was calculated using the UPL statistical approach, we used the average (or sample mean) and sample standard deviation, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 109 of 450 which are two statistical measures calculated from the data distributions for each pollutant. The average is a central value of a data set, and the standard deviation is the common measure of the dispersion of the data set around the average. We note here that the methodology accounts for both short-term and long-term variability and encompasses run-to-run and test-to-test variability. The formula also applies differently depending on how the underlying data set is distributed. To this end, EPA carefully evaluated the data sets for each HAP to ascertain whether the data were normally distributed, or distributed in some other manner (i.e., lognormal). After applying standard and rigorous statistical tests (involving the degree of “skewness” of the data), we determined the distributions for each pollutant, which in turn determined the final form of the UPL equation. See “CISWI Emission Limit Calculations for Existing and New Sources” in the docket. The results are floors that reasonably estimate the performance over time of the best-performing sources, as do the standards based on those floors. It is true that many sources will need to install controls to meet these standards, and that these controls have significant costs (although EPA estimates that the rule’s costs are substantially outweighed by its benefits). See section VI Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 110 of 450 of this preamble. This is part of the expected MACT process where, by definition, the averaged performance of the very best performers sets the minimum level of the standard. The EPA believes that it has followed the statute and applicable case law in developing its MACT floors. The summary of results of UL and UPL calculations and the MACT floor emission limits for each subcategory for existing and new sources are presented in Tables 4 through 9 of this preamble.

The Hg standard for waste-burning kilns reflects 30 days of data for all Hg inputs, reasonable estimates of control device performance (for the few controlled sources), plus a reasonable statistical methodology to account for variability (including variability of Hg content of kiln inputs). EPA also used a pooled variability factor (pooling variability for all kilns in the MACT floor pool), which increased variability estimates. This analysis is based upon data collected for development of the final Portland Cement NESHAP, but screened such that the CISWI analysis used only the data from kilns that would have been identified as CISWI units had the newly-adopted solid waste definition been promulgated and effective at the time of performance testing , and converted to a concentration basis for consistency with the CISWI standards.

One commenter suggests that the nonnormal distribution is consistent with both conventional wisdom and EPA’s own guidance in “Guidance for Data Quality Assessment: Practical Methods for Data Analysis”, EPA/600/R-96/084, July 2000, which holds that it is morelikely that environmental data are distributed lognormally. Commenters state that where there is any uncertainty according to EPA’s criteria using Excel skewness and kurtosis, EPA biases its findings on distributions in favor of normality, the opposite of EPA’s own guidance. The commenter states that EPA’s Guidance for Data Assessment provides that the lognormal distribution is “a commonly met distribution in environmental work,” also stating “Environmental data commonly exhibit frequency distributions that are non-negative and skewed with heavy or long right tails,” and “The lognormal distribution is a commonly used distribution for modeling environmental contaminant data.” Response : EPA has revised the methodology to use the lognormal distribution when the normal distribution is not clearly indicated based on the skewness and kurtosis tests to be more consistent with EPA’s guidance in “Guidance for Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 122 of 450 Data Quality Assessment: Practical Methods for Data Analysis” EPA/600/R-96/084, July 2000. 5. Treatment of Detection Levels

Comment : Many commenters argued that EPA should not use data below detection limits to set standards. They contend that EPA’s use of data below MDLs to set standards invalidates EPA‘s analysis, creates emissions limits that are biased low, and sets emission standards that would not allow facilities to demonstrate compliance without taking undue risk of facing non-compliance. They suggested that no numerical emission standard for a pollutant should be set below the measurement ability of the reference test method. Some commenters stated that EPA does not appear to have systematically screened the emissions data for cases where a detection limit should be applied, and has erroneously recorded zero values for emissions where those are reported in the original test reports. The commenters further assert that in addition to failing to promulgate a method for measuring detection limits for air emission test methods, EPA has ignored the issue of errors associated with quantifying source emissions when they are low. At proposal, EPA requested comment on calculating a three times method detection limit in cases where the floor emissions limit did not adequately account for variability. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 123 of 450 While one commenter supports this method, another argues that this approach is unlawful and inconsistent with the CAA's directive to set the MACT floor at the emissions level achieved by the best-performing sources because it allows for facilities to emit at far higher levels than the best-performing sources. Response : Although we disagree with commenters on the use of nondetect values, we do agree that at very low emission levels where emissions tests result in nondetect values, the inherent imprecision in the pollutant measurement method has a large influence on the reliability of the data underlying the MACT floor emission limit. Because of sample and emission matrix effects, laboratory techniques, sample size, and other factors, MDLs normally vary from test to test for any specific test method and pollutant measurement. The confidence level that a value measured at the detection level is greater than zero is about 99 percent. The expected measurement imprecision for an emissions value occurring at or near the MDL is about 40 to 50 percent. Pollutant measurement imprecision decreases to a consistent level of 10 to 15 percent for values measured at a level about three times the MDL. The approach EPA has used to account for measurement variability begins by defining a MDL that is representative Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 124 of 450 of the data used in the data pool. The first step in the approach is to identify the highest test specific MDL reported in a data set that is also equal to or less than the average emission calculated for the data set. This approach has the advantage of relying on the data collected to develop the MACT floor emission limit, while to some degree, minimizing the effect of a test(s) with an inordinately high MDL (e.g., the sample volume was too small, the laboratory technique was insufficiently sensitive or the procedure for determining the detection level was other than that specified). The second step is to determine the value equal to three times the representative MDL and compare it to the calculated MACT floor emission limit. If three times the representative MDL were less than the calculated MACT floor emission limit, we concluded that measurement variability is adequately addressed, and we did not adjust the calculated MACT floor emission limit. If, on the other hand, the value equal to three times the representative MDL was greater than the calculated MACT floor emission limit, we concluded that the calculated MACT floor emission limit does not account entirely for measurement variability. We therefore used the value equal to three times the MDL in place of the calculated MACT floor emission limit to ensure Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 125 of 450 that the MACT floor emission limit accounts for measurement variability and imprecision. 6. Use of CEMS data

Comment : Several commenters stated that EPA did not include CO, SO 2 , or NO x data from CEMS that was provided by companies and resides in EPA’s databases. Commenters claimed that after discussions with EPA rule writers in which affected sources were encouraged to gather CEMS data as an alternative to stack test data, facilities purposefully submitted such data and these data should be used. Some commenters suggested that it is important that the MACT floor data represent the real-world variability of emissions and that CEMS data is clearly superior to stack test data in this regard. Commenters suggested that EPA may believe it is not feasible to incorporate CEMS data along with stack test data in its MACT floor analyses due to the method it chose to rank and statistically analyze the data. The commenters recommended using the UPL in the statistical analysis to allow CEMS data to be used along with stack test to set standards. Further, one commenter suggested that EPA obtain hourly average CEMS data over a suitable period of time (several months or as much data as can be readily obtained) from each source it can identify that either has a permanent CEMS installed on the unit or Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 126 of 450 provided data in its response to the ICR survey or testing

program. Response : In response to the ICR survey, most facilities that reported CEMS data provided it as 24-hour block averages. We used these data to determine baseline emissions and to calculate costs and impacts of the final rule. EPA did not propose to use 24-hour block averages in setting emissions standards for NO x , SO 2 , and CO. We determined that to do so for these pollutants would be inconsistent with the sampling time for the stack test data and the test methods used to determine compliance with the final standards. For example, typical instrument stack test method test runs would be around 1 hour or less for

NO x , CO, or SO 2 stack tests representing essentially 3-hour average of emissions. A 3-hour average is not comparable to data obtained over a 24-hour sampling with a CEMS. In response to comments, EPA has incorporated into the database hourly CEMS data that were voluntarily submitted by some units that are best performers within their subcategory, and where no stack test data are available, and used these data in conjunction with stack test data from other best performers to calculate the MACT floor emission limits.

C. Control Technology Assumptions for the Floor and Beyond-the-Floor 1. Control technologies and cost assumptions

Comment : Many commenters argued that EPA underestimated the total cost of controls and monitoring equipment required to comply with the emissions standards. Several commenters stated that PM concentrations will increase with the addition of SNCR and ACI systems and will require facilities to invest in baghouse systems. Some commenters asserted that there is no documentation to support that LBMS can control CO emissions from boilers to achieve the emission levels. Commenters also argued that biomass-to-energy facilities required to install an oxidation catalyst to meet the CO emission limits may have space limitations or other engineering constraints and may not be able to achieve the emission limits. One commenter argued that packed bed scrubbers to control HCl and SO 2 from boilers is impractical on units with high flow rates, high PM loading, and high inlet pollutant concentration. Some commenters suggested that EPA does not have an adequate understanding of how to reduce or control D/F Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 128 of 450 emissions from cement kilns. Some commenters asserted that the cost memorandum assumes that for units requiring less than 10 percent improvement in NO x , “minor adjustments were considered sufficient.” They stated that EPA further assumes that these adjustments (such as air handling and distribution adjustments in the firebox) could be made at no additional cost. The commenters contended however, that EPA provides no evidence in the record to support either of these assumptions and that there are no boiler adjustments of this type that are done at no cost. Response : EPA first notes that the rule does not specify particular controls that sources must install and operate. Sources may evaluate the emissions from their source and the emission limits that apply, and then judge for themselves which controls may be best suited for their particular unit to meet the emission limits. The control technology assumptions and cost estimates are assumptions of controls which may be required and an estimate of costs to retrofit and operate these controls. EPA has, however, revised the costing assumptions and methodology since proposal to address issues presented by commenters. For example, in cases where ACI is being required, we have assumed that FF will need to be installed to capture the spent carbon or, if FF is already present, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 129 of 450 improvements will be required to the FF to ensure capture of the sorbent. For larger ERUs that require acid gas control, we have assumed that dry sorbent injection followed by DIFF will be the preferred technology rather than wet scrubbers. For NO x control, we acknowledge that small adjustments at no cost may not be feasible for all affected units to meet the limits and that sources may want to have some operational flexibility so that they have suitable margin of compliance with the emission limits. Therefore, we have used SNCR as the control technology if even small NO x reductions are required to meet the limit. We have not quantified PM increases due to SNCR addition. PM increases are a function of flue gas characteristics of each unit, and we do not have data for our units that would allow us to determine whether secondary particulate formation would occur in certain units that an additional PM control device would be required for the unit. We note, however, that the units that require an SNCR to meet the limits are also anticipated to need a PM control device to meet the limits for other pollutants. Therefore, we expect that affected sources would account for potential secondary PM formation in designing their overall air pollution control system. 2.

Comment : Some commenters argued that EPA’s decision to consider beyond-the-floor limits equal to the new source floors was arbitrary and unlawful. The commenters recommended that instead EPA should examine multiple control technologies to determine what level of emissions reductions are “achievable” based on cost and other factors. The commenters asserted that beyond-the-floor technologies should be evaluated for all pollutants in each subcategory of the CISWI rule. Response : We have revised our beyond-the-floor analysis from that set forth in the proposed rule to consider the performance of available technology. Forexisting units, rather than considering as the only beyondthe-floor option the potential of existing sources to meet the new source limits, we have considered the technologies available to control the various HAP and the reasonable control efficiencies of those technologies. As discussed at proposal, EPA may adopt emissions limitations and requirements that are more stringent than the MACT floor (i.e., beyond-the-floor). Unlike the MACT floormethodology, however, EPA must consider costs, nonairquality health and environmental impacts and energy requirements when considering beyond-the-floor alternatives. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 131 of 450 In developing this final rule, EPA first analyzed the controls available and being used for each subcategory and compared this to the controls necessary for units to meet the MACT floor limits. We then evaluated the different combinations of available emission control technologies and practices, add-on controls different from those required to meet the MACT floor limits, that existing units would have to employ were we to require additional emissions reductions beyond-the-floor levels set forth above. If we determined that any of these additional control options were technically feasible for the units in a subcategory, we then analyzed the costs, nonair quality environmental impacts and benefits associated with adopting theidentified control option to determine whether the beyondthe-floor control was reasonable. The following discussions detail this analysis for each subcategory. Incinerators. Existing units in this subcategory are equipped with afterburners, FFs, and wet scrubbers. We estimate that to comply with the existing source MACT floor limits units in this subcategory may require the addition of or improvement of an existing FF for the control of PM, Cd and Pb; wet scrubbers for the control of HCl and SO 2 for many of the units that currently do not have wet scrubbers; ACI system with a FF for the control of D/F and Hg; and in Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 132 of 450 several cases, afterburner retrofits for the control of CO; and SNCR for NO x in certain instances. These controls are effective and demonstrated on this subcategory of units for the pollutants they are intended to control (see “Revised CISWI Control Costs Memorandum” in the d ocket). We estimate that some incinerator units in this category will require retrofits of existing control or installation of additional control technologies as set forth above to comply with the MACT floor limits. Furthermore, as part of our costing and impacts analysis (discussed in section VI of this preamble), we evaluated whether existing facilities would choose to cease burning solid waste in incineration units after promulgation of the final CISWI standards if alternative disposal options, primarily diverting waste to a landfill, were less costly. Based on the analysis, we expect that all but three facilities with units in the incinerators subcategory will choose to cease operations once the proposed MACT floor limits are promulgated. The three units that we estimate to remain open will likely add ACI system/FF and one will add SNCR for NO x control to meet the MACT floor limits. There is no better control beyond the ACI system/FF for D/F, Hg, PM, Cd, and Pb control. The reductions these units will require for meeting the metals Deleted: 51

Deleted: D***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 133 of 450 emissions will typically need to be greater than 95 percent, therefore necessitating very efficient FF systems. One unit that is not currently meeting the NO x MACT floor limit must install SNCR to comply with the NO x floor limit.
To achieve further reductions for NO x , the unit would require another control device, such as SCR, to comply with a beyond-the-floor limit, and would require the other remaining units to also install either SNCR or SCR. The cost of installing and operating the SCR is typically four to five times higher than a comparable SNCR (see “Revised CISWI Control Cost Memorandum”), and would force this unit to close. In addition to cost considerations, SCR is typically used in combustion units such as industrial boilers and process heaters, gas turbines, and reciprocating internal combustion engines (Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheet, SCR, EPA-452/F-03-032), and we are not currently aware of any successful application of SCR technology to a waste-combustion unit. We therefore question whether SCR could be successfully applied to incineration units in any case. For acid gas performance, all three units are well below the MACT floor with their existing controls, and addition of wet scrubbers would only offer small incremental improvements in emissions. From a Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 134 of 450 cost perspective, the likely result of requiring wet scrubbers on these units would be closure of these units and diversion of waste to a landfill. Considering these factors, we concluded that beyond-the-floor limits are unreasonable for the incinerator subcategory. Small remote incinerators. Existing units in this subcategory are typically equipped with an afterburner as the control device, with the facility sometimes employing waste segregation practices to a certain degree, usually to screen out recyclable materials and hazardous waste materials. We received several comments stating that this subcategory has unique climactic, geographic, and wildlife considerations that influence the applicable controls that are available, and commenters also stated that these small remote incinerators are the only viable waste disposal option in certain regions of Alaska. See section V of this preamble for more discussion from commenters on these units. Of primary concern from a technical standpoint are controls that require water to operate or those that have a large space footprint. Water-based controls such as wet scrubbers, SNCR, and even the evaporative cooling section of dry sorbent injection followed by DIFF may pose ice fogging and equipment freezing concerns that could prevent the use of the incinerator. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 135 of 450 To achieve the MACT floor limits, more than half of the units in this subcategory will require afterburner upgrades, about two-thirds of the units will require ACI system/FF or FF alone, and most will require a more robust materials segregation plan that removes chlorinated and non-ferrous metal components from the waste stream at these facilities. These controls are the best demonstrated technologies that are technologically feasible at these facilities, and they are sufficient to meet the MACT floor limits. One technology that is beyond-the-floor that is technically feasible would be higher efficiency FF or perhaps the addition of a second FF. However, considering the small amount of emissions that would remain after meeting the MACT floor, we expect the incremental cost effectiveness for a second FF or higher efficiency FF could be extraordinarily high, approaching $500,000/ton. We have also considered the costs of alternative disposal, and, based on new information obtained during the comment period, we have adjusted our estimates of those costs to be much higher than those we estimated at proposal. Based on the adjusted cost estimates, we have determined that the alternative disposal options exceed the costs of controls necessary to meet the MACT floor limits. In addition, there is still some uncertainty whether Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 136 of 450 alternative disposal is an available option during severeclimate events. Our assessment indicates that a beyondthe-floor limit would not be achievable to some facilities due to aforementioned technical issues associated with available controls and would significantly increase costs for others. In either case, we conclude that establishing beyond-the-floor standards would likely result in forced closure of some of the units in this subcategory, but we also believe that some units that would otherwise close due to cost related issues would be forced to operate at a loss because closure may not be an option due to other nonair quality environmental regulations aimed at protecting human health and wildlife. For both the technological and cost related issue discussed above, and because of nonair quality environmental issues, we conclude that there are no reasonable beyond-the-floor alternatives for the small remote incinerator subcategory. Waste-burning kilns. Existing kilns are currently equipped with various combinations of ESPs, FF, SNCR and DIFF controls. We estimate that kilns may need to add new controls or improve existing controls to meet the MACT floor limits. These include improved FFs to meet the reductions necessary to meet the Cd and Pb limits, Deleted: 51

Formatted: Underline Deleted:***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 137 of 450 activated carbon for D/F and Hg control, and some kilns may need to add RTO to meet the CO limits. As previously discussed, ACI system/FF are the best technologies available for control of D/F, Hg, PM, Cd and Pb. To meet the floor, the FF will need to be high efficiency, 99 percent in some cases, to meet the MACT floor limit for Cd and Pb. The only further control available would be a second FF, which would result in less than an additional 1 percent reduction of these pollutants. We estimate the cost effectiveness for this to be in the $500,000 per ton range at a minimum. Therefore, there are no further controls to consider as beyond-the-floor options for these pollutants. For waste-burning kilns, a significant amount of CO emissions can result from the presence of organic compounds in the raw materials (and not only from incomplete combustion). Therefore, good combustion controls and practices are not as effective for waste-burning kilns as for other types of combustion units, and may not be enough for units to meet the MACT floor CO limits. Oxidation catalysts have not been installed on waste-burning kilns,and we believe they may not be as effective on wasteburning kilns as they are on other sources due to plugging problems. Specifically, the catalyst bed can become Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 138 of 450 plugged or blinded with dust, thereby covering up catalyst reactive sites necessary to oxidize CO, which reduces the effectiveness of the unit. To maintain the effectiveness of the catalyst, the unit may require shutting down more frequently to replace the catalyst, which reduces productivity of the unit and increases catalyst costs. To make an oxidation catalyst feasible, it may be necessary to also use multiple FF in series upstream of the catalyst which, as described above, is a very costly measure. The only effective CO control for significant CO reductions we could identify for waste-burning kilns is a RTO, and we expect over half of the units will need to install a RTO to meet the MACT floor limits. As a beyond-the-floor option, setting a CO limit at a level that most of the remaining waste-burning kilns would also require RTO could be considered, although we doubt that some of the units requiring RTO to meet the MACT floor emission limit for CO would be able to further reduce their emissions to that same extent. Furthermore, the cost and energy consumption for these additional RTO make this an impractical choice. Therefore, as there are no other controls which could be applied to further reduce CO emissions from these units and additional RTOs would be ineffective from a cost and energy Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 139 of 450impacts perspective, we could not identify a beyond-thefloor option for CO. We expect that waste-burning kilns will install scrubbers to meet the MACT floor emission limits for HCl and SO 2 . The floor limits for HCl are at the levels of quantification of the test method used to determine compliance. Therefore, there are no additional measures that could be employed to quantify any further reductions in HCl emissions beyond that of the MACT floor limit. The only other option for further HCl and SO 2 control would be addition of a dry sorbent injection system in series with the wet scrubber. However, this would approximately double the costs for acid gas control, with only about a 30 percent incremental reduction in SO 2 emissions and no measurable reduction in HCl emissions. As a result, no beyond-the-floor options for acid gases from waste-burning kilns exist because we cannot quantify further HCl reductions, and the beyond-the-floor options for SO 2 reductions are unreasonable due to the cost of the additional controls in conjunction with the limited benefits of such controls. The demonstrated control technology for NO x control on waste-burning kilns is SNCR. In fact, several of the kilns Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 140 of 450 are already equipped with this technology and are able to comply with the NO x MACT floor limit. We estimate that other kilns may require the addition of SNCR to meet the MACT floor limits for NO x . One kiln will require an SNCR that is optimized to the capabilities of the technology to meet the MACT floor limits for NO x . For this unit to be
able to achieve an even lower NO x limit would likely require another technology. As discussed above, SCR is another technology that is used by some combustion sources to reduce NO x emissions; however, SCR is a catalyst technology that has not been demonstrated to work effectively on cement kilns (or waste-burning kilns) in the United States. We believe that SCR is not effective on waste-burning kilns due to difficulties operating SCR in applications where there is significant PM or sulfur loading in the gas stream. These two gas stream constituents can reduce catalyst activity, and lower the resulting effectiveness of the SCR, through catalyst poisoning and blinding/plugging of active sites by ammonia sulfur salts (formed from sulfur in the flue gas with the ammonia reagent) and PM (Air Pollution Control Technology Fact Sheet, SCR, EPA-452/F-03-032). We could not identify any other controls beyond SCR and SNCR, alone or in tandem, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 141 of 450 to reduce NO x emissions from waste-burning kilns. We believe that SCR is not technically demonstrated on kilns currently and may not be technically feasible. For these reasons, we are not selecting a limit for NO x that is beyond-the-floor for the waste-burning kiln subcategory. Liquid waste ERUs. Existing units in this subcategory are equipped with flue gas recirculation in a couple cases, and some settling chambers for particulate control in a couple other units. We anticipate units within this subcategory may need to install FF, CO catalyst, and SNCR to meet the MACT floor limits. As discussed earlier, FFs are the best control available for PM, Cd, and Pb control. The only further control available would be a second FF or a very high efficiency FF. The metals emissions from these units are very low to begin with, so the only incremental reductions would be in PM. This would result in perhaps an additional 10 percent reduction in emissions at almost double the cost of current particulate controls. As mentioned before, we anticipate cost effectiveness for this to be in the $500,000 per ton range at a minimum. Likewise, SNCR is the best demonstrated technology being applied to waste combustion units for NO x control. As discussed earlier, SCR has been used in some boiler Deleted: 51

Deleted: is***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 142 of 450 applications, but SCR costs are approximately four to five times those of SNCR, for only an additional 30 percent reduction from the baseline. Furthermore, we observe that SCR has not been demonstrated to work effectively on waste combustion units in the United States. Carbon monoxide control for liquid waste ERUs could also be achieved by using a RTO, but at a far greater energy requirement, notably in natural gas consumption, with comparable control efficiency as the CO catalysts that we expect some units will need to install to meet the MACT floor CO limits. Therefore, we conclude that additional beyond-the-floor CO control would be unreasonable for this subcategory. Additional D/F and Hg control could be achieved using ACI with another FF. However, the baseline emissions for these pollutants are already very small, with only marginal additional emissions reductions available if additional controls were being used. Therefore, beyond-the-floor limits for these pollutants will not be reasonable from a cost effectiveness perspective. We also considered whether it is reasonable to go beyond-the-floor with respect to SO 2 for this subcategory. In this case, the DIFF control technology could be applied to these units to reduce SO 2 emissions by about 70 percent with co-control of HCl (90 percent) as well as PM, Cd, and Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 143 of 450 Pb. Most of these units will already require the addition of a FF to meet the MACT floor limits, so the cost of going beyond-the-floor for these units would entail the dry sorbent injection components of the control device. For the units that do not require FF to meet the floor, the additional costs would involve the entire DIFF control device. The total cost for applying the relevant controls to all the units is approximately $4.8 million per year in annualized capital and operating costs for SO 2 control beyond-the-floor. The reduction in emissions of SO 2 is approximately 2,300 tpy, based on the baseline emissions estimate and a 70 percent reduction and accounting for SO 2 emissions from electricity generation needed to power the controls. It is worth noting that the baseline estimates and MACT floor calculations for this subcategory are based on data from the only unit for which we have SO 2 data in this subcategory. This unit has a baseline SO 2 concentration of 641 ppm, which has been applied to the other five liquid ERUs as an estimated baseline concentration. The HCl concentration for this unit is about 4 ppm, so co-benefit emission reductions are significantly less than the SO 2 emission reductions. Because we are basing these analys e s off of data from a Deleted: 51

Deleted: i***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 144 of 450 single unit within the subcategory, we realize that there is a large margin of uncertainty on the control requirements within this source category and the potential for SO 2 emissions reductions at the beyond-the-floor level. To get a better idea of the potential cost effectiveness for a beyond-the-floor limit for SO 2 , we also looked at the costs and emissions reductions solely for the unit which we have data for to determine the cost effectiveness of control for this unit. In this case, the additional cost of the dry injection system (the unit already requires a FF to meet the MACT floor limits) is about $567,000 per year, with an estimated emissions reduction of 103 tpy of SO 2 (and minor HCl reduction) adjusted for SO 2 emissions from electricity generated to power the controls. This results in an incremental cost effectiveness of $5,500 per ton of SO 2 control beyond-thefloor. While this number is generally within the cost effective range we find reasonable, we are not adopting a beyond-the-floor limit for SO 2 given the uncertainty associated with this number, the fact that we cannot adequately estimate the costs for other units in the subcategory, and because the controls required for HCl may actually reduce SO 2 more than is required based on the SO 2 Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 145 of 450 standard alone such that the actual cost effectiveness of the beyond-the-floor option is not in line with the estimate. Regarding co-control for PM, the fact that four of the six liquid waste ERUs will likely require FF to meet MACTfloor limits for Cd and Pb means that going beyond-thefloor using DIFF controls would only net additional PM control on the two remaining units. The FF portion of the control costs for these two units is approximately $1.1 million per year with an estimated PM reduction of fewerthan five tpy, which translates into an incremental costeffectiveness of about $230,000 per ton for additional PM control. Based on our analysis and realizing the high degree of uncertainty regarding costs, emissions reductions and resulting cost-effectiveness for this particular CISWIsubcategory, we have concluded that requiring beyond-thefloor controls on these units is unreasonable. Solid waste ERUs. Existing units in this subcategory are equipped with various combinations of ESPs, FF, scrubbers, SNCR spray towers, and DIFF. We anticipate units within this subcategory may need to install or improve different combinations of ACI system/FF, DIFF, FF, LBMS, CO catalysts, and wet scrubber control technologies to meet the MACT floor limits. As discussed earlier, a FF Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 146 of 450 is the best control available for PM, Cd, and Pb control. The Cd and Pb reductions necessary are greater than 90 percent in many cases, indicating that units will likely require highly efficient FF to meet the limits for these pollutants and PM. Therefore, beyond-the-floor limits for PM, Cd , and Pb would likely necessitate a second FF, essentially doubling the cost for little additional reduction in emissions. Furthermore, the ACI system is the BAT for reducing D/F and Hg emissions. The D/F reduction necessary for some of these units approaches 99 percent, indicating that beyond-the-floor limits that are more stringent than the MACT floor limits may not be achievable by the control technology. In certain cases, units may require DIFF and wet scrubbers in series to meet acid gas limits. There are no additional controls that could be implemented in these cases to further reduce acid gas emissions. Carbon monoxide control for solid waste ERUs could also be achieved by using a RTO, but likely at a far greater energy requirement (specifically natural gas) with comparable control efficiency as the CO catalysts that we expect some units will need to install to meet the MACT floor COlimits. Therefore, we conclude that additional beyond-theDeleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 147 of 450 floor CO control would be unreasonable for this subcategory due to additional cost and energy impacts. The demonstrated control technology for NO x control on ERUs is SNCR. In fact, some of the ERUs are already equipped with this technology. A couple of the units appear to comply with the NO x MACT limit because they already have a SNCR in place. As mentioned earlier, SCR is another technology that is used by some combustion sources to reduce NO x emissions. However, SCR costs can be about four to five times more costly than SNCR. Furthermore, we observe that SCR has not been demonstrated to work effectively on waste combustion units in the United States. We realize that the industrial sectors that use units within this CISWI subcategory are typically wood and forest product industries, sectors that have suffered particular economic hardship. We are attempting to make sure that the regulatory requirements are being satisfied, while minimizing adverse economic impact wherever possible. Since there remain some questions about a demonstrated control beyond the control used to meet the MACT floor limits, and some units are already utilizing SNCR to meet the MACT limit, coupled with the fact that the potential beyond-the-floor technology is significantly more Deleted: 51

Deleted: an***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 148 of 450 expensive, we are not selecting a limit for NO x that is beyond-the-floor for the solid waste ERU subcategory. New Units . As discussed elsewhere, we have concluded that only two of the CISWI subcategories may see any new units within the immediate future, primarily due to replacement of old units. These two subcategories are the incinerator subcategory and the small remote incinerator subcategory. While facilities may find alternative disposal options are available, we are cognizant of the fact that, for these subcategories, there may be instances where alternative disposal options are unavailable, and a new incineration unit may be required. For incinerators, we estimate units may require a combination of the ACI system/FF, SNCR, and wet scrubbers to achieve the new source MACT floor limits. As discussed above for existing incinerators, there are no control technologies demonstrated or reasonably cost-effective that we could consider at this time that would perform better or be more cost-effective than those being used to meet the new source MACT floor limits. Therefore, we have concluded that no beyond-the-floor emission limits should be selected for new incinerators. For small remote incinerators, we anticipate new sources will have an afterburner installed to achieve the CO limit and that the afterburner will also be equipped Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 149 of 450 with low NO x burners, require waste segregation for ferrous and non-ferrous metals and chlorinated plastics, and likely require ACI system/FF to meet the new source MACT floor limits. As discussed above for existing small remote incinerators, there are technical issues with any control technologies that require water for operation for this subcategory of unit. As a result, there are no additional or better control technologies available other than those being used to meet the new source MACT floor limits for the small remote incinerator subcategory. D. Rationale for Subcategories 1. Incinerators

Comment : Some commenters argue that EPA wrongly concluded that all incinerators are sufficiently similar to meet one emission limit. The commenters suggest that the variability of combusted materials necessarily means variability in emissions concentrations and that variability cannot be masked exclusively by emissions control performance or statistical analysis. One commenter claims that it will be extremely difficult for incinerators combusting materials other than what the best-performing incinerators are combusting to comply with the limits in the proposed rule if EPA does not refine the overly-broad incinerator subcategory. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 150 of 450 Response : EPA disagrees that incinerators should be further subcategorized. As stated at proposal, “incinerators, which are the units currently regulated by the 2000 CISWI rule, are used to dispose of solid waste materials, and emissions are a function of the types of materials burned. Incinerators are designed without integral heat recovery (but may include waste heat recovery). While there are different designs, they all serve the same purpose: reduction in the volume of solid waste materials. Incinerators can be operated on a batch or continuous basis.” We note that the MACT floor pool of incinerators represents a wide variety of industrial sources, from pharmaceuticals to heavy equipmentmanufacturers. From the data available, these bestperforming units also combust a wide variety of materials, including liquid waste streams, expired pharmaceutical products, and spent paint booth filters. Therefore, contrary to commenters’ arguments, there is a wide variety of materials being combusted in the best-performing units. As we also explained at proposal, the same types of add-on controls, including FF, wet scrubbers, SNCR and ACI, can be applied to most incinerators. Our estimates indicate that the reductions achieved by these controls will allow incinerator units to comply with the emission limits. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 151 of 450 Furthermore, the commenters have provided no information that indicates that the units in the incinerators subcategory are unable to retrofit and/or take other actions (e.g., waste segregation) to satisfy the standards in the final rule. Even if it were true that some sources will be unable to meet the final standards, which we dispute, we still believe it would not be reasonable to further subcategorize incinerators based on the waste stream because such subcategorization, taken to its logical conclusion, would lead to many subcategories with one or only a few sources. We presume that Congress recognized when it enacted CAA section 129 that solid waste incineration units would be combusting a variety of waste and, in fact, CAA section 129 requires different standards based on the potential waste streams: MSW; HMI waste; and commercial and industrial waste. Congress provided additional discretion to further subcategorize solid waste incineration units, however, commenters have not provided compelling information that indicates these units, which are already complying with the 2000 CISWI standards, should be further subcategorized. For these reasons, we decline to further subcategorize the incinerators subcategory. 2. Energy Recovery Units Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 152 of 450

Comment : Many commenters suggested that the ERU subcategory is overly broad and should be subcategorized. The commenters stated that EPA has broad authority to distinguish among groups of sources within a source category or subcategory in setting a MACT standard. The commenters maintained that the statute provides that EPA "may distinguish among classes, types, and sizes of sources within a category or subcategory" when establishing MACT standards. Several commenters believed that Congress’ use of the broad terms "class," "type," and "size" show that EPA is intended to have broad discretion in the appropriate factors that warrant distinguishing among sources, and EPA’s proposed subcategories fall squarely within the meaning of "types" and "sizes." The commenters argued that to the extent that EPA may distinguish among sources within a category or subcategory on the basis of "any [reasonable] criterion of classification whatsoever," and may create subcategories as appropriate, the CAA clearly grants EPA authority to create additional subcategories for ERUs. Many commenters suggested that the subcategorization of ERUs, where differences among sources affect the applicability of control technology, is consistent with MACT precedent. Commenters argued that EPA’s proposed inclusion of all types of ERUs (coal units, biomass units, Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 153 of 450 combination boilers, liquid boilers, and even gas fired units) into one subcategory is inadequate. Several commenters suggested that EPA create separate subcategories as it proposed in the Boiler and Process Heater MACT. The commenters supported their suggestion by offering the following rationale: (1) since the CAA requires EPA to set

SO 2 limits for CISWI units, and since coal contains significant concentrations of sulfur, and biomass generallywould contain little or no sulfur, a subcategory for coalfired boilers should be established; expensive control devices such as a spray dryer absorber could not reduce the outlet concentrations of SO 2 to the single ppm levels equivalent to those of a biomass boiler; (2) observation of the proposed Boiler MACT floor standards proposed for biomass and coal units shows that there are significant differences in outlet emissions of HCl, Hg, and CO; (3) likewise, the NO x emissions from the top performing biomass, coal, liquid, and gas-fired units would all be significantly different due to inherent differences in the design of these units. Response : The CAA allows EPA to divide source categories into subcategories based on differences in class, type, or size. For example, differences between Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 154 of 450 given types of units can lead to corresponding differences in the nature of emissions and the technical feasibility of applying emission control techniques. The design, operating, and emissions information that EPA has reviewed indicates differences in unit design that distinguish different types of ERUs. Data indicate that there are generally significant design and operational differences between units that burn coal, biomass, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Energy Recovery Units are therefore designed for specific fuel types and will encounter problems if a fuel with characteristics other than those originally specifiedis fired. Many ERUs in the database are indicated to cofire liquids or gases with solid fuels, but, in actuality, most of these boilers commonly use fuel oil or natural gas as a startup fuel only and then operate on solid fuel during the remainder of their operation. In contrast, some co-fired units are specifically designed to fire combinations of solids, liquids, and gases. Changes to the fuel type would generally require extensive changes to the fuel handling and feeding system (e.g., a stoker using wood as fuel would need to be redesigned to handle fuel oil or liquid wastes). Additionally, the burners and combustion chamber would need to be redesigned and modified to handle different fuel types and account for increases or decreases Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 155 of 450 in the fuel volume. In some cases, the changes may reduce the capacity and efficiency of the ERU. An additional effect of these changes would be extensive retrofitting needed to operate using a different fuel; therefore, the design of the ERU impacts the degree of combustion. In our investigations resulting from commenters’ statements, we concluded that the data were sufficient for determining that a distinguishable difference in performance exists based on unit design type. Therefore, because different types of units have different emission characteristics which may influence the feasibility or effectiveness of emission control, they should be regulated separately (i.e., subcategorized) for affected pollutants. Accordingly, we have subcategorized ERUs based on unit design in order to account for these differences in emissions and applicable controls. The two primary ERU subcategories are units designed to burn solid wastes (solids) with other solid fuels, and units designed to burn liquid wastes with liquid or gaseous fuel (liquid/gas). The ERU solids subcategory is further subcategorized into units designed to burn coal and units designed to burn biomass for CO, NO x and SO 2 to address design differences and feasibility or effectiveness of emission control between these types of units as commenters have suggested. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 156 of 450 The subcategorization for these pollutants is also compelled by the data available for the solid fuel sources. Specifically, coal fired ERUs submitted exclusively CEMS data for CO, NO x , and SO 2 , and biomass fired ERUs submitted almost exclusively stack test data for these pollutants. We are unable to convert the vast majority of CEMS data into equivalent stack test data and the converse is true as well. Pursuant to CAA section 129(a)(2), EPA must establish emission standards for existing sources based onthe average emissions limitation achieved by the bestperforming 12 percent of sources. Because the data for CO,

NO x , and SO 2 from the biomass and coal fired ERUs are not in consistent formats, we would have to ignore a subset of the available data in establishing the floors for these pollutants if we did not further subcategorize solid fuel ERUs. We therefore think it is reasonable to further subcategorize these units for CO, NO x , and SO 2 so the standards are reflective of the data available to EPA, and we are properly accounting for the different emissions characteristics associated with the different types of fuels. These subcategories are based on the primary fuel that the ERU is designed to burn. We are aware that some ERUs Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 157 of 450 burn a combination of fuel types or burn a different fuel type as a backup fuel if the primary fuel supply is curtailed. However, ERUs are designed based on the primary fuel type (and perhaps to burn a backup fuel) and can encounter operational problems if another fuel type that was not considered in its design is fired at more than 10 percent of the heat input to the unit. Therefore, we subcategorized ERUs that burn at least 10 percent coal (on an annual heat input basis) as being in solid fuel/coal subcategory, with the remaining solid ERUs being in the biomass subcategory for ERUs. 3. Cement Kilns

Comment : One commenter states that waste-burning cement kilns differ among themselves significantly in terms of type, size, configuration, and other relevant factors that can influence emissions, and EPA should consider the further sub-categorization of kilns on this basis. The commenters provide the example that in its evaluation of organic emissions from kilns in support of the Portland Cement rulemaking, they found significant differences due to configuration and raw materials. The commenter did not develop specific recommendations for sub-categorization of cement kilns under the proposed CISWI rule citing the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 158 of 450 limited data and the limited time EPA has allowed for comment in this rulemaking. Response : The authority to subcategorize is discretionary, even where sources can otherwise be distinguished as a different class, type, or size. In evaluating the population of kilns that may be subject to CISWI and estimates of control technologies that may be required to meet the limits, we realize that most of the kilns in the CISWI population at proposal were subject to the standard solely due to tire combustion. Further investigation indicated that all of these kilns obtained the tires from established tire recycling programs. Based on the new definition in Section 241.3, these tires would not be considered to be solid wastes. Therefore, kilns that we considered as CISWI units at proposal solely due to tire combustion are not part of the CISWI category, and we removed them from the CISWI inventory. In addition, we obtained information on used oil, biomass, and wood waste being combusted by cement kilns. Based on the definition in 241.3, we determined which of these materials would be considered to be solid waste and removed any kilns from the CISWI inventory where we determined none of the fuels were solid waste. This resulted in the inventory of CISWI kilns being reduced to 12 kilns total. Of the 12 kilns in the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 159 of 450 current CISWI inventory, one is a wet kiln, four are preheater kilns, and the remainder are preheater/precalciner kilns. We recognize that differences in kiln design and configuration can effect emissions. These effects are most evident on emissions of NO x , CO, and

SO 2 . However ; all of these pollutants are also affected by the site specific raw materials fed to the kiln. We have insufficient data to differentiate between the raw material affects and the kiln design affects. Therefore, we decided

not to develop separate subcategories for cement kilns. However, all of our information indicates that NO x , SO 2 and

CO are controllable to the level of the standard whether a kiln is wet or dry. The control devices that may be necessary to comply with the CISWI limits (including the standards for NO x , SO 2 and CO) may be applied to both types of kiln, and there do not appear to be any feasibility or effectiveness issues that would necessitate subcategorization in order for units to achieve the limits. For example, the controls we estimate the wet kiln units may require in order to meet the CISWI limits, such as SNCR, wet scrubbers, and RTO, may be applied to all types of kiln s . We are unaware of any design considerations that prevent FF or RTO use for either the wet type or preheater Deleted: 51

Deleted: (all but 16) are in the CISWI population solely due to tire combustion. In the time it takes for compliance, we expect that most of these facilities will probably find a source of tires that would result in the tires not being considered a waste. These units would then be covered under the Portland Cement NESHAP rather than CISWI. Of the 16 kilns that are burning materials other than tires that would be considered a waste, all but two of these appear to be preheater type kilns, based on data on these units contained in the Portland Cement NESHAP docket. The remaining two kilns are of the wet kilns. Deleted: CO Deleted: , we Deleted: For example, in the Portland Cement NESHAP, we noted that kiln design could affect THC emissions. Deleted: the data available at the time we developed the final rule were insufficient to develop subcategories based in kiln design. The same problem exists here for NO x and CO.

Deleted: FF Deleted: either type***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 160 of 450 type of kiln. Therefore, EPA disagrees with this comment and is not subcategorizing among waste-burning kilns. 4. Small Remote Incinerators

Comment : Several commenters requested that EPA revise the definition of small remote incinerator. Some commenters suggested that the proposed definition would inadvertently exclude those incinerators that are within the spirit of the definition, but are located within 50 miles of a MSW landfill or units that burn more than 1 ton of waste per day. Other commenters specifically requested an exemption for small remote incinerators that are not accessible by the Federal Highway System. Several commenters explained that not all units are accessible by vehicle, the affected units may or may not be within 50 miles of a MSW landfill, and road access can be seasonal in Alaska. Commenters expressed particular concerns about small remote units operating in remote locations of Alaska. Commenters explained that waste accumulation due to unavoidable transportation delays could attract animals, in potential violation of state law and policy and the Federal Endangered Species Act. Several commenters explained that due to the location of facilities, increased fog conditions and harsh winters, it is unlikely that food waste can be Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 161 of 450 transported off-site on a daily basis. In these circumstances, stored waste may attract wildlife to facility operations, which could in turn result in potentially dangerous interactions with personnel. Commenters argued that longer term on-site storage is not a safe option for either the wildlife or humans. Further commenters explained that operational areas, and areas where they can accumulate solid waste, are very small, such that the ability to store multiple days of solid waste could be problematic. The commenters asserted that the use of incinerators to manage food waste has proven to be a valuable tool for preventing human/wildlife interactions. Response : EPA has revised the definition of small, remote incinerator to apply to a unit combusting less than 3 tons of waste per day and located more than 25 miles from the nearest landfill. The change to 25 miles and 3 tons of waste combusted per day, instead of the parameters that were proposed, will help address the commenters’ concerns about applicability for intended units within this subcategory. 5. Burn-off ovens

Comment : Many commenters are opposed to regulating burn-off ovens under CISWI. They assert that EPA severely underestimated the universe of burn-off ovens and did not Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 162 of 450 consider the potential subcategories of burn-off ovens (e.g., metal parts recovery, drum reclamation, and electric motor rewinding ovens). Several commenters argue that the units do not use incineration or combustion processes and instead play a vital role in the reclaiming and recycling process. Many commenters claim that regulation of these units will result in job loss and closure of businesses. Response : At proposal, we combined part, rack, and drum reclamation units into one burn-off oven subcategory. We estimated that there were approximately 36 units in the burn-off oven subcategory. We received comments during the comment period that indicated that there may be more than 15,000 units in the burn-off oven subcategory as we have defined it. Furthermore, we have no data on drum reclamation units. We also do not have data on all CAA section 129 pollutants for the burn-off ovens we identified at proposal. For all these reasons, and because we are not required to finalize standards for burn-off ovens to comply with our CAA section 112(c)(6) obligation, we have determined that this final action will not subject burn-off ovens to this standard. 6. Soil treatment units

Comment : EPA received a comment that soil treatment units are unique units and do not belong in the floor Deleted: 51

Deleted: In addition, information we received during the comment period leads us to conclude that we may need to further subcategorize these units based on the significant differences among the units we characterized as burn- o ff ovens. For example, drum reconditioning or reclamation units are significantly larger and different in design from other units in the burn-off ovens subcategory.

Deleted: are deferring regulation of burn- o ff ovens so that we may collect the information necessary to adequately characterize and set standards for these units.***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 163 of 450 determination for kilns. The commenter stated that soil treatment units are “treating” and not “combusting” soil and therefore should be considered in an alternative floor analysis. Response : Based on the information received during the comment period, EPA agrees that soil treatment units and kilns should be separate subcategories. In addition, information we have obtained since proposal indicates that there may be many more soil treatment units than the two we have identified; and, therefore, we do not have sufficient data to set emissions standards for soil treatment units. For these reasons, we have determined that this final action will not subject soil treatment units to this standard . We do not need to regulate soil treatment units at this time in order to comply with our CAA section 112(c)(6) obligation. E. Emission Limits 1. Consistency between other applicable NESHAP limits

Comment : Many commenters stated that EPA should adopt MACT limitations of similar stringency for similar units, irrespective of whether the source is regulated as a kiln or ERU under CAA section 112 or a CISWI unit under CAA section 129. Commenters stated that for some emissions, the two rules apply to similar equipment burning similar Deleted: 51

Deleted: are creating a new subcategory for Deleted: s Deleted: and deferring regulation of these units until we have sufficient information Deleted: establish CAA section 129 standards***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 164 of 450 fuels for similar purposes, but the emission limits are clearly different. They suggested that efforts be made by the EPA either to explain the differences or to develop more adequate and consistent limits in the regulations. One commenter stated that EPA should express standards for waste-burning cement kilns in a production-based form for a direct comparison of standards with the Portland Cement

NESHAP. Response : As commenters note, we have subcategorized units to the extent we determined appropriate within the CISWI population, to reflect similar design considerations as subcategories for non-CISWI units, however, the fact that units are similar does not authorize EPA to set similar standards under CAA section 112 and section 129. As we have discussed elsewhere in our descriptions of the MACT floor analysis, we are calculating emission limits based on data from units that we believe are CISWI units based on the definition of solid waste and the currently available information. Solid waste incineration units may not be regulated under CAA section 112 once we have established CAA section 129 performance standards for the category or subcategory, and solid waste incineration units should not be included in the floor calculations for CAA section 112 standards once the units are identified as Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 165 of 450 solid waste incineration units. The converse is also true. The requirements for setting CAA section 129 standards are different for new and existing units. For new units, EPA must base the standards on the best-performing similar unit for each subcategory, and, for existing units, we must base the standards on the average emissions limitation achieved in practice for the best-performing 12 percent of units in the subcategory. See CAA section 129(a)(2). The statute, therefore, provides some discretion for EPA to establish new source standards based on the best controlled similar source, instead of the best controlled source in the subcategory. For this reason, EPA may consider CAA section 112 sources to the extent they are similar to the CAA section 129 units when establishing the MACT floor for new sources. For existing units, however, EPA is required to use information from sources in the subcategory when establishing the MACT standards. Section 112 of the CAA contains similar requirements for establishing the MACT floors. See CAA section 112(d)(3). Because the existing sources subject to CAA section 112 will have different emissions information than the sources subject to CAA section 129, we may not harmonize the existing source standards for similar units regulated under both CAA section 112 and section 129. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 166 of 450 As to the comment that EPA should establish production based standards for waste-burning kilns to coincide with the Portland Cement NESHAP, we note that CAA section 129 solid waste incineration rules, including the 2000 CISWI standards, have consistently presented numeric limits in stack gas concentration bases. We are maintaining in the final CISWI standards emission limits as stack gas concentrations; however, in response to the comments on this issue, we note that the kiln limits in Tables 1 and 2 of the preamble can be converted to lb/ton clinker or lb/ton raw feed bases assuming 100,000 dscf/ton clinker and 1.65 ton raw feed/ton clinker. 2. Opacity Limits

Comment : Several commenters opposed the setting of opacity limits for CISWI units. Commenters argued that opacity has long been considered a surrogate monitoring methodology for demonstrating continuous compliance with PM standards and that the proposed controls and monitoring techniques eliminate the need for opacity monitoring. Many commenters also suggested that a certified reader is only able to distinguish opacity in increments of 5 percent and that the proposed single digit limits are beyond the capabilities of Method 9. Commenters also asserted that the correlation between PM and opacity is not demonstrated Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 167 of 450 based on a review of the data available at proposal. Several commenters stated that it is not appropriate to apply a ratio of PM to opacity based only on data from one facility in the incinerator category and apply it to all types of units regulated under this rule. Response : At proposal, we had opacity data for only one unit in the incinerator subcategory. We developed opacity standards for the CISWI subcategories by establishing a ratio of PM to opacity for the one incinerator and multiplying that ratio by the PM MACT standards for each of the subcategories to establish the opacity standards for the different subcategories. 75 FR 31,956. We requested comment on this approach. We also requested comment on whether it was appropriate to establish opacity standards for CISWI units at all. EPA is not required to establish opacity standards for incineration units pursuant to CAA section 129(a)(4), which requires EPA to set numeric emission limitations for nine pollutants plus “opacity (as appropriate).” EPA is not promulgating opacity limits for CISWI units at this time. As commenters note, opacity is often required in CAA rules as a surrogate for PM to assure compliance with PM standards when continuous PM monitoring is not required under the applicable standard. In this Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 168 of 450 case, we are requiring PM stack testing in conjunction with continuous parametric monitoring; therefore, the need for an opacity limit is diminished with regards to CISWI units. In addition, we have determined it is not appropriate to set opacity standards given the lack of opacity data from all but one of the CISWI units. However, we continue to maintain that opacity serves as an indicator of PM, and we may in the future determine that it is appropriate to establish opacity limits for CISWI units; therefore, EPA is requiring opacity testing for units as part of their annual testing requirements. Opacity also serves as an indicator of good air pollution control practices, and as such, is a valuable tool for EPA in determining compliance with the general provision at 40 CFR 60.11(d) that sources maintain and operate their affected facility including associated air pollution control equipment in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions. 3. Limits for TMB and TEQ for D/F

Comment : Some commenters suggest that EPA arbitrarily set floors for TEQ based on a 0.078 ratio between total mass and TEQ D/F data. Commenters believe that the data EPA used to calculate the multiplier was not limited to the best-performing 12 percent of sources and thus, the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 169 of 450 approach does not conform to the statute, which requires MACT floors to be set on the basis of the average of the emissions levels actually achieved by the best-performing 12 percent of sources. One commenter asserts that nondetected target compounds (i.e., the 17 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDD/PCDF TEF congeners) were treated with a zero concentration in all of the stack test reports and that target compounds reported by the laboratory as an EMPC were treated with a zero concentration for TEQ calculations. The commenter further states that EPA used TEQs which treated both nondetected target compounds, as well as those reported as an EMPC, with a zero concentration (i.e., ND=0; EMPC=0). Response : EPA is no longer using a ratio of TMB to TEQ to calculate limits for D/F TEQ. EPA further reviewed the data, including data corrections submitted after proposal, and used individual and total mass congener data to establish TEQ limits for all subcategories. The commenter’s assertion that EMPC and ND values were treated as zero concentration is incorrect. Estimated maximum possible concentration and ND values were not incorporated into the analysis unless a facility reported an actual value, including a reported value of zero. The TEQ limits were calculated using the same statistical approach used Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 170 of 450 for the other regulated pollutants. See section V.B of this preamble for discussions on establishing MACT floors, incorporating nondetect values, and changes in the statistical approach used to set limits. F. New Data/Corrections to Existing Data 1. Discussion of EPA data validation and inclusion of new data received since proposal

Comment : EPA received several comments on suggested data corrections or new data to incorporate into the analysis. Response : See “Data Amendments and Corrections Following Proposal” memorandum in the docket for a discussion on how data were incorporated to address

comments. G. Testing and Monitoring 1. Monitoring alternatives (CEMS in lieu of testing or parametric monitoring, decisions on PM CEMS and CO CEMS)

Comment : While some commenters supported the use of CO and PM CEMS to monitor emissions, others argued that CEMS should not be required for all units due to unreasonable costs and impracticality. Several commenters suggested that EPA evaluate the feasibility and measurement capabilities of CEMS before requiring their use. Commenters stated that multi-metals and PM CEMS can be Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 171 of 450 inadequate in indicating the complex nature of emissions and urged EPA not to remove any of the parametric monitoring requirements in lieu of CEMS. Further, some commenters suggested that compliance testing is not needed if CEMS is used to monitor emissions. Response : For the operations and facilities subject to the rule, we believe that the combination of periodic compliance emissions testing and continuous monitoring of operational and parametric control measure conditions is appropriate for assuring ongoing compliance. The rule allows a source owner or operator to install and operate CEMS in lieu of some testing and parametric monitoring requirements. This process requires source owners to propose site-specific monitoring plans for approval. These plans would include CEMS PS and periodic QA/QC steps to assure the quality of the alternative monitoring data. Currently, EPA has the requisite CEMS PS for Hg monitoring systems and not for multiple metals CEMS. The final rule will not require CO CEMS for existing ERUs, as proposed. The rule will require operational parametric monitoring, as the commenter suggests, for most units affected by the rule, with CO CEMS allowed as an option at the source owner’s discretion. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 172 of 450 We agree that a PM CEMS installed and operated in accordance with PS 11 and the associated QA procedures can provide assurance of ongoing compliance without the need for additional periodic compliance testing. The final rule authorized the optional use of PM CEMS. We have retained the requirement for PM CEMS on existing ERUs greater than 250 mmBtu/hr to measure continuous compliance for these larger units. 2. CEMS data to set standards

Comment : Several commenters suggested that any limit where CEMS are required, CEMS data must be used to develop the emission limits. The commenters discussed their experience with CEMS that shows variability is much higher than what a periodic stack test will show. The commenters suggested that 30 days of continuous emission monitoring is insufficient. They stated that biomass boilers have seasonal variability that would only be seen over the course of a year or more. Commenters also requested that EPA be aware that there may be sources that have installed for criteria pollutants under other permit requirements, particularly for NO x , CO, and SO 2 , and that sources would prefer to use the CEMS to demonstrate compliance but for the fact that the standards are established using stack test data. The commenters suggested that even if the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 173 of 450 standard only requires a stack test, there are sources that will be using continuous emission monitors for compliance

purposes. Response : As noted earlier, we are not requiring CEMS for compliance for existing units, other than PM CEMS for ERUs greater than 250 mmBtu/hr. No ERUs submitted PM CEMS data for us to evaluate in our development of emission limits. Therefore, we were unable to establish limits based on CEMS data as the commenter suggests; however, we have included a longer averaging period to account for the variability in PM emissions for these sources. In any case, given the controls available for PM, we do not believe that the PM emissions should vary as much as they may for other pollutants. Also, as stated above, the rule allows sources to install and operate CEMS in lieu of some testing and parametric monitoring requirements at their discretion.This process requires source owners to propose sitespecific monitoring plans for approval. These plans would include CEMS PS and periodic QA/QC steps to assure the quality of the alternative monitoring data. In allowing optional CEMS usage, we are providing facilities with compliance flexibility in case they wish to use existing CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the standards. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 174 of 450 Facilities that are concerned that they will not be able to continuously comply with the emissions limitations if they use CEMS for those limitations established based on stack test data should not avail themselves of the CEMS alternative. 3. Reduced testing provisions

Comment : Commenters contended that the proposed performance testing requirements are excessive and should be reduced to a reasonable and appropriate level. EPA proposed at 40 CFR 63.2710(b) that all units conduct performance tests for PM, HCl, fugitive emissions, and opacity on an annual basis. EPA further proposed for ERUs that annual performance tests be conducted for PM, HCl, Cd, lead, Hg, dioxins/furans, opacity, fugitive emissions, NO x , and SO 2 (unless a CEMS is used for either PM, HCl, Hg, NO x, and/or SO 2 ). Thereafter, EPA proposed to reduce the frequency to 3 years if there had been three tests in a row that had results of less than 75 percent of the emission standard. Commenters recognized EPA has included a provision to skip to a 3-year frequency provided a source passes three tests in a row with at least a 25 percent margin. However, commenters contended that with the very stringent limits EPA had proposed, very few units would Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 175 of 450 likely to qualify for this provision and, therefore, they were not sure of its value. Response : We disagree with the commenters’ assertions that the performance testing requirements are excessive. As discussed earlier, the combination of periodic compliance emissions testing and continuous monitoring of operational and parametric control measure conditions is appropriate for assuring continuous compliance with the emissions limitations. Without recurring testing, we would have no way to know if parameter ranges established during initial performance testing remained viable in the future. The commenter correctly notes that CEMS may be used as an option and, if so, annual performance testing is not required for the pollutant being measured by a CEMS. Regarding the assertion that the margin for reduced testing is too high to be effective, we disagree and note that the intent of this provision is to provide an incentive for better performers. By specifying the less than 75 percent of the emission standard margin, we are providing such an incentive for good performance, and not rewarding units that just barely meet the standard for a pollutant. Performance testing is required for all pollutants rather than PM and HCl only. Deleted: 51

Deleted: 50 percent, instead of Deleted: ,***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 176 of 450 In addition, EPA is maintaining the reduced testing option for units that demonstrate emissions a specified percentage below the limits for 3 years. We have clarified and modified this option to state that performance testing for a given pollutant may be performed every 3 years, instead of annually, if measured emissions during 2 consecutive annual performance tests are less than 75 percent of the applicable emission limit. Also note that sources that switch fuels during the year following a performance test will not qualify for reduced testing. H. Start-up, Shutdown, and Malfunction Requirements

Comment : Several commenters argued that emissions limits should not apply during SSM events while other commenters stated that SSM emissions should be included in calculations of emissions and standards. Several commenters suggested that in order to assure that SSM are appropriately accommodated, EPA must either assure that the data on which the standard is based include representative data from such periods or, alternatively, set a separate work practice standard to properly accommodate SSM. Several commenters contended that EPA did not consider enough data to adequately characterize emissions variability, as the standards were set based only on 3-run Deleted: 51

Deleted: However, if sources meet the 50 percent threshold during one test, then they will qualify for reduced testing following that test rather than meeting a less stringent threshold for fewer pollutants for three consecutive years.***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 177 of 450 stack test data obtained under the best of operating conditions (and typically only one operating condition), no long-term CEMS data were used, no adjustment was made for fuel or feed pollutant content variability, and no data collected during periods of startup or shutdown were analyzed. Some commenters suggested that certain control devices take several hours to warm-up and that emissions during these startup periods will exceed the emissions standards and would never be able to recover to meet the average limitations. Further, several commenters stated that compliance with emissions standards during malfunction events will be difficult to gauge since emissions testing during such events is near impossible given the sporadic and unpredictable nature of malfunctions. The commenters contended that the rule could have the effect of forcing units to choose between safety and compliance with emissions requirements. The commenters stated that for some affected units, malfunctions by their very nature create unsafe conditions which can lead to excessive combustible mixtures that can result in explosions, equipment damage and personnel hazards. Response : The Court vacated portions of two provisions in EPA’s CAA section 112 regulations governing the emissions of HAP during periods of SSM. S ierra Club v. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 178 of 450 EPA, 551 F.3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008), cert. denied, 130 S. Ct. 1735 (U.S. 2010) . Specifically, the Court vacated the SSM exemption contained in 40 CFR 63.6(f)(1) and 40 CFR 63.6(h)(1), that are part of a regulation, commonly referred to as the “General Provisions Rule,” that EPA promulgated under section 112 of the CAA. When incorporated into CAA section 112(d) regulations for specific source categories, these two provisions exempt sources from the requirement to comply with the otherwise applicable CAA section 112(d) emission standard during periods of SSM. While the Court’s ruling in Sierra Club v. EPA , 551 F.3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008), directly affects only the subset of CAA section 112(d) rules that incorporate 40 CFR 63.6(f)(1) and (h)(1) by reference and that contain no other regulatory text exempting or excusing compliance during SSM events, the legality of source category-specific SSM provisions such as those adopted in the 2000 CISWI rule is questionable. Periods of startup, normal operations, and shutdown are all predictable and routine aspects of a source’s operations. However, by contrast, malfunction is defined as a “sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 179 of 450 equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner...’’(40 CFR 60.2). EPA has determined that malfunctions should not be viewed as a distinct operating mode and therefore, any emissions that occur at such times do not need to be factored into development of CAA section 129 standards, which, once promulgated, apply at all times. In Mossville Environmental Action Now v. EPA,370 F.3d 1232, 1242 (D.C. Cir. 2004), the court upheld as reasonable standards that had factored in variability of emissions under all operating conditions. However, nothing in section 129 or in case law requires that EPA anticipate and account for the innumerable types of potential malfunction events in setting emission standards. See Weyerhaeuser v Costle , 590 F.2d 1011, 1058 (D.C. Cir. 1978) (“In the nature of things, no general limit, individual permit, or even any upset provision can anticipate all upset situations. After a certain point, the transgression of regulatory limits caused by ‘uncontrollable acts of third parties,’ such as strikes, sabotage, operator intoxication or insanity, and a variety of other eventualities, must be a matter for the administrative exercise of case-by-case enforcement discretion, not for specification in advance by regulation.”). Deleted: 51

Deleted: Nothing***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 180 of 450

It is reasonable to interpret section 129 as not requiring EPA to account for malfunctions in setting performance standards. For example, we note that section129 uses the concept of “best controlled” and “bestperforming” unit in defining MACT, the level of stringency that section 129 performance standards must meet. Applying the concept of “best controlled” and “best-performing” to a unit that is malfunctioning presents significantdifficulties. The goal of a best controlled or bestperforming unit is to operate in such a way as to avoid malfunctions of the unit. Moreover, even if malfunctions were considered a distinct operating mode, we believe it would be impracticable to take malfunctions into account in setting CAA section 129 standards for CISWI units. As noted above, by definition, malfunctions are sudden and unexpected events, and it would be difficult to set a standard that takes into account the myriad different types of malfunctions that can occur across all sources in the category. Moreover, malfunctions can vary in frequency, degree, and duration, further complicating standard setting. In light of the Sierra Club decision, EPA proposed to require that sources be in continuous compliance with Deleted: 51

Deleted: Further, it***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 181 of 450 emissions limits at all times, even during SSM. 75 FR 31964. We proposed that these sources meet the same standards at all times. Id . We concluded that CISWI units would be able to meet the emissions limitations during periods of startup because most units used natural gas or clean distillate oil to start their incinerators and only add waste after the incinerator has reached combustion temperatures. Id. We proposed that emissions from burning natural gas or distillate fuel oil would generally be significantly lower than from burning solid waste. Id. We further proposed that emissions during shutdown would also be generally significantly lower because the waste would be almost fully combusted before the unit began shutting down. Id. We proposed that these factors, in conjunction with the variability built into the MACT standards and the longer averaging periods, meant that sources would be able to comply with the standards during periods of startup and shutdown. Id. For violations cause by malfunction events, EPA stated at proposal that we would consider relevant factors in determine the appropriate action to take.

We have eliminated the SSM exemption in this rule. Consistent with Sierra Club v. EPA, EPA has established standards in this rule that apply at all times. We have eliminated or revised certain recordkeeping and reporting Deleted: 51

Deleted: In the final rule, we***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 182 of 450 related to the SSM exemption. EPA has attempted to ensure that we have not included in the regulatory language any provisions that are inappropriate, unnecessary, or redundant in the absence of the SSM exemption. In establishing the standards in this final rule, EPA has taken into account startup and shutdown periods and have not established different standards for those periods. The standards that we are finalizing are based on short term stack tests for pollutants that generally are not expected to vary significantly at startup and shutdown. The possible exception here is CO, which in some subcategories such as ERUs, could vary at startup and shutdown. However, the percent oxygen operating limits will ensure that combustion conditions are optimized and the CO is minimized. Solid waste and fuel-fired ERUs do not normally startup and shutdown more the once per day. Thus, we are not establishing a separate emission standard for these periods because startup and shutdown are part of their routine operations and, therefore, are already addressed by the standards. Periods of startup, normal operations, and shutdown are all predictable and routine aspects of a source’s operation. We have evaluated whether it is appropriate to have the same standards apply during startup and shutdown as applied to normal operations, and Deleted: 51

Deleted: that***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 183 of 450 as the rule is structured, well operated and controlled units should be able to meet the standards at all times. In the event that a source fails to comply with the applicable CAA section 129 standards as a result of a malfunction event, EPA would determine an appropriate response based on, among other things, the good faith efforts of the source to minimize emissions during malfunction periods, including preventative and corrective actions, as well as root cause analyses to ascertain and rectify excess emissions. EPA would also consider whether the source's failure to comply with the CAA section 129 standard was, in fact, “sudden, infrequent, not reasonably preventable” and was not instead “caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation.” 40 CFR § 60.2 (definition of malfunction). Finally, EPA recognizes that even equipment that is properly designed and maintained can sometimes fail and that such failure can sometimes cause an exceedance of the relevant emission standard. (See, e.g., State Implementation Plans: Policy Regarding Excessive Emissions During Malfunctions, Startup, and Shutdown (Sept. 20, 1999); Policy on Excess Emissions During Startup, Shutdown, Maintenance, and Malfunctions (Feb. 15, 1983)). EPA is therefore adding to the final rule an affirmative defense Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 184 of 450 to civil penalties for exceedances of emission limits that are caused by malfunctions. See 40 CFR 60.2265 and 60.2875 (defining “affirmative defense” to mean, in the context of an enforcement proceeding, a response or defense put forward by a defendant, regarding which the defendant has the burden of proof, and the merits of which are independently and objectively evaluated in a judicial or administrative proceeding.). We also have added other regulatory provisions to specify the elements that are necessary to establish this affirmative defense; the source must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that it has met all of the elements set forth in 60.2120 and 60.2685. See 40 CFR 22.24. The criteria ensure that the affirmative defense is available only where the event that causes an exceedance of the emission limit meets the narrow definition of malfunction in 40 CFR 60.2 (sudden, infrequent, not reasonable preventable and not caused by poor maintenance and/or careless operation). For example, to successfully assert the affirmative defense, the source must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that excess emissions “[w]ere caused by a sudden, infrequent, and unavoidable failure of air pollution control and monitoring equipment, process equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner...” The criteria also are designed Deleted: 51

Comment : Several commenters requested that EPA remove the mandatory requirement to use the ERT for submitting test results. They also suggest that EPA revise the provision for test reports, such that these reports be due no sooner than 90 days following completion of testing. One commenter stated that sources had requested in the ICR proposal stage that EPA not use the ERT, which was going Deleted: 51

Deleted: 2120 and 60.2685***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 186 of 450 through Beta testing, and informed EPA that the ERT had serious flaws including difficulty of use, content problems, and inaccessibility. Several commenterssuggested that data submitted through the ERT is errorprone and imposes additional burdens on reporting sources. Some commenters asserted that EPA provides no insight or justification in the preamble or otherwise for requiring this form of data submittal and that the cost of this requirement, as compared to conventional reporting, is not evaluated or disclosed in discussion of the cost and impact of the proposed rule. Commenters state that many of the affected facilities have not had to participate in such reporting procedures in the past, and that these facilities will require additional staff time, equipment, and training to accomplish this requirement. Several commenters argue that it is also likely that implementation of the initial testing and most subsequent testing will be done under state authority and that unless state agencies are willing to use this same ERT, facilities will have a dual requirement for reporting. Further, commenters declare that the ERT bypasses the state, creating data quality issues. Commenters maintain that it is important to look at the qualifiers, the test methods, the QA/QC plans, and the justifications before making any decisions on the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 187 of 450 validity of the numbers. The commenters explain that test results from testing companies can incorporate a number of "qualifiers" in their data reporting, and if the electronic tool cannot accommodate the use of textual explanation to explain “qualifiers” for reported data, then the tool's usefulness and accuracy is suspect and could cause additional burden on the facility to explain. Response : EPA disagrees that the use of ERT should not be required. The primary purpose of the emissions test is the demonstration that the facility meets the requirements of the rule. The ERT is designed to streamline, standardize, and incorporate QA/QC information for all the test reports and facilitate their submittal to EPA. The ERT will also make the process of developing emissions factors for rulemaking much more transparent. All the steps taken and data used to develop emissions factors for rulemaking will be much clearer with our new system. We understand that there will be little or no reduction in the effort needed to produce the test report initially, but as users gain expertise with the system and it improves over time, the time, resources, and consistency for review and evaluation will be improved. EPA agrees with the commenter on the length of time required to submit the ERT data. We plan to extend the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 188 of 450 period for entering data into the ERT and submitting these data to 90 days. EPA recognizes that there have been some issues with the use of the ERT, and we have worked closely with stakeholders to identify and correct these issues. As with all new systems, there are always transition problems as changes to those systems are implemented. EPA also disagrees with comments regarding the error-prone data resulting from the use of the ERT. Use of the ERT will help ensure that QA/QC requirements in the test methods are addressed. There are data fields in the ERT that clearly indicate to all users what information and data are required for each performance test. Thus, we believe that the ERT will improve data quality rather than provide “error-prone” data. The ERT was established to facilitate performance data collection. There are many performance tests conducted each year and, along with the associated pertinent data, it would be very time-consuming and resource-intensive to compile, transfer, store, and analyze the tests and resultant data using a manual method. Electronic compilation, transfer, storage, and analysis are now our preferred ways to handle this amount and kind of information. EPA is committed to electronic compilation and submittal of data as demonstrated by the requirement to Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 189 of 450 report data electronically in the TRI program. Other EPA programs, such as the acid rain and greenhouse gas reporting already also require electronic submittal of data. The ERT supplements the time-intensive manual preparation and transcription of stationary source emissions test plans and reports for emissions sources testing with an electronic alternative where the resulting data can be transmitted more easily and quickly to EPA and state, local, or tribal agencies who choose to use this system. The ERT provides a format and a process that: 1) documents the key information and procedures required by the existing EPA Test Methods; 2) facilitates coordination among the source, the test contractor, and the regulatory agency in planning and preparing for the emissions test; 3) provides for consistent criteria to characterize quantitatively the quality of the data collected during the emissions test; 4) standardizes the form and content of test reports; and 5) calculates the emissions factor, and exports the emissions factor and associated data to WebFIRE. We expect the ERT to significantly reduce the monitoring and testing burden for testers, source owners or operators, state, local or tribal agencies, EPA, and other interested stakeholders in collecting, reviewing, storing, and accessing test data and reports. In addition, the ERT Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 190 of 450 will produce a final report that we believe will satisfy test report requirements. Although the effort required to compile the performance test information using the ERT and submitting it to EPA is different from the existing procedures, we believe that once the test contractors and reviewers have experience with the ERT, the burden will be comparable to the existing cost and resources required for performance testing and reporting. As stated above, we worked closely with stack testing companies to set up the ERT and have the ERT process mimic most of their work when producing a final performance test report. We believe that there is a learning curve for using the ERT, and it will take a few tests and reports to become proficient in its use. However, as users continue to employ the ERT, the time, effort, and subsequent costs needed to produce, review, process, and extract information from the report will decrease. In addition, we are working on a fix for the ERT that would allow the ERT to extract data directly into the ERT data fields by “tagging” the data from stack sampling or industry performance test spreadsheets. Regarding the assertion that potential lack of state acceptance, EPA agrees that states provide an important function in verifying the accuracy of performance tests. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 191 of 450 EPA has developed the ERT to include a module for an independent “third party” review of test reports and data. In this third party review, EPA envisions an independent reviewer would evaluate the test reports and perhaps observe the performance test to provide an extra level of QA for the resultant data. EPA believes this step will help ensure quality tests are conducted and accurate data are obtained. State personnel would perform these reviews for each performance test before they submit the test reports to EPA. State personnel are more familiar with the sources and often observe the testing. EPA has attempted to address this issue by providing a third party review module to the ERT. In this ERT module, an independent reviewer would be given some questions to respond to regarding how the test was conducted and the quality of the resultant data. Where the third party reviewer provides negative responses to the conduct of a performance test, points will be deducted from the overall rating of the performance test. This, in turn, will impact the overall rating of the test. Thus, we believe that having an objective third party reviewer will improve performance tests and the resultant data by providing the incentive to conduct better performance tests. As mentioned above, states can be the third party reviewers, if they so choose. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 192 of 450 States routinely review performance tests conducted for permitting and compliance purposes, so they would be better suited to review the tests. EPA also recognizes the states as having an important role to play in ensuring that performance tests are conducted properly and provide quality data. EPA encourages states to continue to ensure that performance tests are conducted properly and subsequently provide the test reports and data to EPA. Where stack testers need to deviate from the test methods, there are narrative fields that allow the submittal of this type of information. We understand that there are conditions that warrant minor changes or deviations from the test methods, and in these cases, there are fields in the ERT to include this kind of information and, at the discretion of the responsible agency, approval of these minor changes to test methods may be approved in the course of approving the test plan. Major changes to test methods, however, must be approved in writing by official letter from the EPA. 2. Records of Non-waste Materials

Comment : One commenter recommended that EPA require facilities to notify appropriate regulatory agencies once they have determined that they comply with the requirements of the non-hazardous secondary materials legitimacy Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 193 of 450 criteria and/or the processing requirements in the solid waste definition rule. The commenter suggested that notifications should include information on how the determination of a homogeneous fuel was made, and what methods will be employed to ensure that the fuel used will continue to comply with the “homogeneous” requirements. The commenter suggested that clear recordkeeping and reporting requirements must be put in place to ensure that enforcement staff can determine compliance status. Several commenters suggested that regulating the use of recyclable nonhazardous secondary materials such as tires will encourage greater use of landfilling which they asserted is counter to long-standing EPA policy that promotes such activities. Response : EPA has added recordkeeping provisions for units that burn materials other than traditional fuels that document how each of those materials meet the non-waste criteria in the Solid Waste Definition Rule. The newly promulgated procedures for identification of non-hazardous secondary materials that are solid wastes when used asfuels in combustion units at 40 CFR 241.3 are selfimplementing provisions that require each source owner or operator to determine whether the materials they are combusting meet certain legitimacy criteria, and/or whether Deleted: 51

Deleted:***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 194 of 450the materials have been processed from a discarded nonhazardous secondary material. Materials that remain within the control of the generator and that meet the legitimacy criteria specified in §241.3(d), as well as materials that are produced from the processing of discarded non-hazardous secondary materials, and that meet the legitimacy are not considered solid wastes (see §241.3(b)). Traditional fuels are defined in the Solid Waste Definition Rule, and the rule exempts traditional fuels from being solid waste. To ensure that owners or operators of units combusting materials review and apply the non-waste provisions in the Solid Waste Definition Rule, EPA is requiring owners or operators that combust materials that are not clearly listed as traditional fuels document how the materials meet the legitimacy criteria and/or the processing requirements in the Solid Waste Definition Rule. Failure of a source owner or operator to correctly apply the non-waste criteria would result in incorrect self-assessments as to whether their combustion units are subject to CISWI. Requiring sources to document how the non-waste criteria apply to the materials combusted will both improve self-assessments of applicability, and will assist EPA and states in the proper identification of sources subject to CISWI. The definition of CISWI unit is amended to require that any material Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 195 of 450 combusted that is not a traditional fuel will be treated as a solid waste unless the source makes and keeps the record documenting how the material meets non-waste criteria in the Solid Waste Definition Rule.If the material being combusted has received a nonwaste determination pursuant to the petition process in the Solid Waste Definition Rule at 40 CFR 241.3(c), the source owner or operator must keep a copy of the non-waste determination granted by EPA. If the combustion unit is being regulated under CAA section 112 regulations for boilers and process heaters at major sources (Subpart DDDDD National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants at Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters ) or for boilers at area sources (Subpart JJJJJJ--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources), the recordkeeping requirements in those rules that require documentation of non-waste criteria meet the non-waste recordkeeping requirements in CISWI. EPA has similarly added a recordkeeping requirement and amended the definition of CISWI unit to require that sources burning tires make and keep a certification that confirms that the tire is part of an established tire Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 196 of 450 collection program. The Solid Waste Definition Rule does not include tires from established tire collection programs as solid waste. An established tire collection program is defined in the solid waste rule as a comprehensive collection system that ensures scrap tires are not discarded and are handled as valuable commodities in accordance with 40 CFR 241.3( b)(2)(i ) from the point of removal from the automobile through arrival at the combustion facility. The source owner or operator combusting tires, who is not treating their tires as solid waste and is not subject to the CISWI emission limits, must keep a record which identifies the name, owner, and location of the tire collection program from which they obtained the tires, the quantity of tires received from that program and the date received, and they must document how the program handles the tires as valuable commodities consistent with 40 CFR 241.3( b)(2)(i ) from the point of removal from the automobile through arrival at the combustion facility. The record may be generated and certified (signed) by the established tire collection program, or by the owner or operator of the unit combusting tires. A copy of the record must be retained by the owner or operator of the tire combustion unit, and produced upon request. The Deleted: 51

All tires on-site will be treated as solid waste, unless this record is retained, and it is clear as to which tires each certification pertains. If tires on-site are from more than one collection program or generator, there must be a separate certification for each generator or collection program from which the tires were obtained, and the owner or operator of the combustion unit must keep records which clearly identify the on-site location of tires associated with each certification J. Air Curtain Incinerators

Comment : Commenters requested that EPA remove the requirement for air curtain incinerators regulated under CISWI to obtain a Title V permit. They suggested that EPA instead require only those units at major sources or sources that took federally enforceable limits to become minor sources to obtain a Title V permit under CISWI. Some argued that an air curtain incinerator is excluded from the statutory definition of “solid waste incineration unit.” Commenters stated that although CAA section 129(e) requires Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 198 of 450 a “solid waste incineration unit” to obtain a Title V permit, they suggested that the requirement does not extend to units that are excluded from the definition of “solid waste incineration unit,” of which an air curtain incinerator is only one of several types of excluded units. One commenter suggested that that EPA allow permitting agencies flexibility in addressing the ACI system opacity limitation. This opacity requirement can be addressed through minor source permits, federally enforceable state operating permits, registration permits or Title V general permits. Response : We are not exempting air curtain incinerators located at area/minor source facilities from the requirement to obtain a Title V permit in this final rule. Commenters appear to allege that the requirement to obtain a Title V requirement does not apply to them because they are not solid waste incineration units and the requirement in CAA section 129(e) applies only to solid waste incineration units. Commenters are correct that air curtain incinerators are not solid waste incineration units pursuant to CAA section 129(g)(1)(C), but that is only correct if the units “only burn wood wastes, yard wastes and clean lumber and [they]... comply with opacity limitations to be established by the Administrator by Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 199 of 450 rule.” EPA has established opacity limitations for air curtain incinerators pursuant to sections 111 and 129. Pursuant to CAA section 502(a), sources subject to standards or regulations under CAA section 111 must obtain a Title V permit; therefore, air curtain incinerators are required to obtain a Title V permit. As commenters note, EPA may exempt minor and area sources from the requirement to obtain a Title V permit, but EPA must first determine that compliance with Title V requirements is “impracticable, infeasible, or unnecessarily burdensome” on the sources before exempting them (CAA section 502(a)). EPA has not made the necessary finding pursuant to CAA section 502(a) for air curtain incinerators in any of the CAA section 129 rulemakings, and we believe that air curtain incinerators exist at CAA section 129 facilities other than at the commercial and industrial facilities subject to this final rule. Because we think it is important to treat all air curtain incinerators in the same manner, we decline to consider a Title V exemption for minor and area source air curtain incinerators at commercial and industrial facilities. K. Role of States

Comment : Several commenters believe that the states should retain as much authority as possible to implement Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 200 of 450 and enforce the standards. Other commenters suggest that EPA allow states and local regulatory authorities an option for case-by-case determinations. Some commenters believe that the local permitting agency should retain the authority to approve alternate compliance approaches under CISWI rules. The commenters argue that the states are responsible for incorporating the EG into their own rules, for permitting and inspecting sources, for enforcing compliance with the rules, and can apply appropriate discretion when needed. Commenters assert that facilities have more frequent communication with their local permitting agency, and the permitting staff have been to the facility and have knowledge about how the facilities operate. They suggest that the local permitting agency can also be more timely in responding to facilities' requests, due to their knowledge of the facility and the limited number of sources they cover, as opposed to the larger number of sources under an EPA regional office. Response : For previous rules, there has been some confusion about what authority can be delegated to and exercised by state, local, and tribal air pollution control agencies and what authority must be retained by EPA. In some cases, state, local, and tribal air pollution control agencies were making decisions, such as allowing waivers of Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 201 of 450 some provisions of this subpart, which cannot be delegated to those agencies. We clarify the authorities retained by EPA in 40 CFR 60.2030(c), applicable to the EG and the NSPS. The following authorities, among others, must be retained by EPA for all NSPS and EG: approval of alternatives to the emission limits; approval of major alternatives to test methods or monitoring; and approval of major alternatives to recordkeeping and reporting. The list also specifically includes establishment of operating limits for control devices other than those listed in the rule and review of status reports submitted when no qualified operators are available. EPA also retains sole authority for approval of performance test and data reduction waivers under 40 CFR 60.8(b), and preconstruction siting analyses. These authorities may affect the stringency of the emission standards or limitations, which can only be amended by federal rulemaking; EPA may not transfer these authorities to state, local, or tribal air pollution control agencies. L. Biased Data Collection from Phase II ICR Testing

Comment : Many commenters suggested that EPA “cherry picked” the best data in setting each standard. Several commenters believe the data that EPA gathered to support the CISWI rule reflects bias, is incomplete, fundamentally Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 202 of 450 flawed, and that the standards are arbitrary and capricious. Some commenters argued that EPA’s data collection efforts were biased toward so-called “top performing facilities” because EPA directed its information requests to units that it had reason to believe were the better performing units in each subcategory. The commenters suggested that the sample population is tainted and has resulted in proposed standards that are inordinately stringent, are not representative of the overall performance of the sources in subcategories to which they apply, and are not in accord with the legal standards. One commenter suggested that EPA based the standards on a relatively minute pool of relevant data despite the decade and a half long process that lead to the proposed rules. Response : EPA disagrees with the commenters’ assertions that we obtained skewed data and that data collection efforts to support the CISWI rule were biased toward “top performing facilities.” EPA documents the procedures used for identifying CISWI units and collecting information in the CISWI Test Data Database memo for the proposed rule dated April 26, 2010. As explained in the memo, the initial database of CISWI units operating in the United States as of 1998 was obtained from the information Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 203 of 450 collected to support EPA’s ICR and promulgate the 2000 CISWI rule. In the 2000 CISWI rule, EPA only regulated solid waste incineration units at commercial and industrial facilities that combusted solid waste solely for the purpose of destroying the waste. Energy recovery units (i.e., boilers and process heaters) and waste-burning kilns (i.e., cement kilns) were exempt from the 2000 CISWI rule. In 2005, EPA issued the CISWI Definitions Rule, which confirmed that ERUs were exempt from CISWI and maintained the exemption for cement kilns. In 2006, the list of CISWI incinerator units initially identified based on the CISWI Definitions Rule was distributed to the 10 EPA R egional offices to confirm whether the units were operational. Based on the information supplied by the EPA regions, the initial CISWI database was revised to reflect the unit deletions/additions provided by the regional contacts. In 2007, the Court vacated the CISWI Definitions Rule, concluding that the rule was flawed because CAA section 129 unambiguously regulates any commercial or industrial combustion unit combusting any solid waste and the CISWI Definitions Rule exempted units that combust waste if the units also recover energy in the process. NRDC v. EPA , 489 F.3d at 1260. While not explicitly addressed in the decision, the implication of the holding extended beyond Deleted: 51

Deleted: r***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 204 of 450 ERUs to other commercial or industrial units combusting solid waste, e.g., cement kilns. EPA developed a two phase information collection process to collect information from units that may be subject to CISWI in light of the vacatur of the CISWI Definitions Rule. “Phase I” survey requests were sent to all commercial and industrial facilities that we determined may have solid waste incineration units and for which EPA did not already have information. The Phase I surveys were reviewed and used to update the CISWI inventory for incinerators or ERUs. “Phase II” surveys were then sent out to all CISWI units where emissions test data was missing from the Phase I database, requesting these units test and report for the missing pollutants. Through this process, EPA requested information from all known CISWI units, not solely the best performers as commenters assert, and we used the data to determine the best-performing sources to set the standards for this rule. **VI. Impacts of the Action** A. What are the primary air impacts? We have estimated the potential emissions reductions from existing sources that may be achieved through implementation of the emission limits. However, we realize that some CISWI owners and operators are likely to Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 205 of 450 determine that alternatives to waste incineration are viable, such as further waste segregation or sending the waste to a landfill or MWC, if available. In fact, sources operating incinerators, where energy recovery is not a goal, may find it cost-effective to discontinue use of their CISWI unit altogether. Therefore, we have estimated emissions reductions attributable to existing sources complying with the limits, as well as those reductions that would occur if the facilities with incinerators and small, remote incinerators decide to discontinue the use of their CISWI unit and use alternative waste disposal options. For units combusting wastes for energy production, such as ERUs and waste-burning kilns, the decision to combust or not to combust waste will depend on several factors. One factor is the cost to replace the energy provided by the waste material with a traditional fuel, such as natural gas. Another factor would be whether the owner or operator is purchasing the waste or obtaining it at no cost from other generators, or if they are generating the waste on-site and will have to dispose of the materials in another fashion, such as landfills. Lastly, these units would have to compare the control requirements needed to meet the CISWI emission limits with those needed if they stop burning solid waste and are then subject to a NESHAP Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 206 of 450 instead. As mentioned before, we have attempted to align the monitoring requirements for similar non-waste-burning sources as closely as possible in an effort to make them consistent and to help sources make the cross-walk between waste and non-waste regulatory requirements as simple as possible. The emissions reductions that would be achieved under this rule using the definition of solid waste under RCRA are presented in Table 10 of this preamble.

Our experience with regulations for MWC, HMIWI and, in fact, CISWI, has shown that negative growth in the source category historically occurs upon implementation of CAA section 129 standards. Since CISWI rules were promulgated in 2000 and have been in effect for existing sources since 2005, many existing units have closed. At promulgation in 2000, EPA estimated 122 units in the CISWI population. In comparison, the incinerator subcategory in this rule, which contains any such units subject to the 2000 CISWI rule, has 28 units. EPA is not aware of any construction of new units since 2000, so we do not believe there are any units that are currently subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS. The revised CISWI rule is more stringent, so we expect this trend to continue. However, EPA does recognize that some facilities may opt to replace aging incinerator units with new units where it is cost effective or alternative disposal options are not feasible, as may be the case with some incinerators, or in very remote locations. We estimate that there could be one new incineration unit within the next 5 years, and possibly five new small remote incinerators within that time. In these cases, we have developed model CISWI unit emissions reduction estimates Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 208 of 450 for these subcategories using the existing unit baseline and the new source emission limits. Table 11 of this preamble presents the model plant emissions reductions that would be expected for new sources.

Our research suggests that metal removal is routinely practiced and that several state waste tire management programs are already in place, and would most likely be a viable option for new kiln owners so that they would not be subject to the CISWI regulations. Indeed, we expect that all existing cement kilns that are classified as being waste-burning solely due to whole tires will, by the compliance date for the CISWI standards, find a way to obtain their tires through an approved tire management plan. Likewise, new sources could engineer their process to minimize waste generation in the first place, or to separate wastes so that the materials sent to a combustion unit would not meet the definition of solid waste to begin with. For waste that is generated, cost analyses have found that alternative waste disposal is generally available and less expensive. B. What are the water and solid waste impacts? In our analysis, we have selected the lowest cost alternative (i.e., compliance or alternative disposal) for each facility. We anticipate affected sources will need to Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 210 of 450 apply additional controls to meet the emission limits. These controls may use water, such as wet scrubbers, which would need to be treated. We estimate an annual requirement of 103 billion gallons per year of additional water would be required as a result of operating additional controls or increased sorbent use. Likewise, the addition of PM controls or improvements to controls already in place will increase the amount of particulate collected that will require disposal. Furthermore, ACI may be used by some sources, which will result in additional solid waste needing disposal. The annual amounts of solid waste that would require disposal are anticipated to be approximately 19, 23733,526 tpy from PM capture and 14,289078 tpy from ACI. Perhaps the largest impact on solid waste would come from owners and operators who decide to discontinue the use of their CISWI unit and instead send waste to the landfill or MWC for disposal. Based on tipping fees and availability, we would expect most, if not all, of this diverted waste to be sent to a local landfill. As we discuss above, it may be that a good portion of the incinerators would determine that alternative disposal is a better choice than compliance with the standards. We Deleted: 51

For new CISWI units, we estimate an annual requirement of 9102 million gallons per year of additional water would be required as a result of operating additional controls. The annual amounts of solid waste that would require disposal are anticipated to be approximately 7275 .0 tpy from PM capture and 8173.0 tpy from ACI. C. What are the energy impacts? The energy impacts associated with meeting the emission limits would consist primarily of additional electricity needs to run added or improved air pollution control devices. For example, increased scrubber pump horsepower may cause slight increases in electricity consumption and sorbent injection controls would likewise require electricity to power pumps and motors. In our analysis, we have selected the lowest cost alternative (i.e., compliance or alternative disposal) for each facility. By our estimate, we anticipate that an additional 214,356 MW-hours per year would be required for the additional and improved control devices. As discussed earlier, there could be instances where owners and operators of ERUs and waste-burning kilns decide to cease burning waste materials. In these cases, the Deleted: 51

Assuming an estimate that 50 percent of the energy input to ERUs and kilns are from waste materials, an estimate of the energy that would be replaced with a traditional fuel if all existing units stopped burning waste materials, is approximately 56 TBtu/yr. For new CISWI units, we anticipate that 511 MW-hours per year would be required for additional and improved control devices. Since we do not anticipate any new energy recovery or waste-burning kiln units to be constructed, there would be no additional estimate for energy that would be replaced with a traditional fuel. D. What are the secondary air impacts? For CISWI units adding controls to meet the emission limits, we anticipate minor secondary air impacts. The combustion of fuel needed to generate additional electricity and to operate RTO controls would yield slight increases in emissions, including NO x , CO, PM, and SO 2 and
an increase in CO 2 emissions. Since NO x and SO 2 are covered by capped emissions trading programs, and methodological limitations prevent us from quantifying the change in CO and PM, we do not estimate an increase in Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 213 of 450 secondary air impacts for this rule from additional electricity demand. We believe it likely that the incinerators may elect to discontinue the use of their CISWI unit and send the waste to the landfill or other disposal means. As we discussed in the solid waste impacts above, this could result in approximately 110,417 tpy of waste going to landfills. By using EPA’s Landfill Gas Estimation Model, we estimate that, over the 20-year expected life of a CISWI unit, the resulting methane generated by a landfill receiving the waste would be about 96,300 tons. If this landfill gas were combusted in a flare, assuming typical flare emission factors and landfill gas chlorine, Hg, and sulfur concentrations, the following emissions would be expected: 20 tons of PM; 8 tons of HCl; 16 tons of SO 2 ;
890 tons of CO; 46 tons of NO x ; and 1.4 lbs of Hg. Similar to existing units, we anticipate minor secondary air impacts for new CISWI units adding controls as discussed above. E. What are the cost and economic impacts? We have estimated compliance costs for all existing units to add the necessary controls and monitoring equipment, and to implement the inspections, recordkeeping and reporting requirements to comply with the CISWI Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 214 of 450 standards. We have also analyzed the costs of alternative disposal for the subcategories that may have alternative options to burning waste, specifically for the incinerators and the small, remote incinerators that may have an alternative to incineration. In our analysis, we have selected the lowest cost alternative (i.e., compliance or alternative disposal) for each facility. Based on this analysis, we anticipate an overall total capital investment of $ 652 million with an associated total annual cost of $ 232 million ($2008). Under the rule, EPA’s economic model suggests the average national market-level variables (prices, production-levels, consumption, international trade) will not change significantly (e.g., are less than 0.02 percent). EPA performed a screening analysis for impacts on small entities by comparing compliance costs to sales/revenues (e.g., sales and revenue tests). EPA’s analysis found the tests were below 3 percent for five of the nine small entities included in the screening analysis. In addition to estimating this rule’s social costs and benefits, EPA has estimated the employment impacts of the final rule. We expect that the rule’s direct impact on employment will be small. We have not quantified the Deleted: 51

For further explanation and discussion of our analysis, see Chapter 4 of the RIA. For new CISWI units, we have estimated compliance costs for units coming online in the next 5 years. This analysis is based on the assumption that one new incinerator will come online over 5 years and one new small, remote incinerator will come online each year over the next 5 years. Additionally, it was assumed that each model unit will add the necessary controls, monitoring equipment, inspections, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements to comply with NSPS limits. Based on our analysis, we anticipate an overall total capital investment of $8.4 million over 5 years with an associated total annual cost (for 2015) of $2.6 million. F. What are the benefits? We estimate the monetized benefits of this regulatory action to be $340 million to $830 million (2008$), 3 percent discount rate) in the implementation year (2015). The monetized benefits of the regulatory action at a 7 percent discount rate are $310 million to $750 million (2008$). These estimates reflect energy disbenefits valued at $3.8 million. Using alternate relationships between

PM 2.5 and premature mortality supplied by experts, higher and lower benefits estimates are plausible, but most of the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 216 of 450 expert-based estimates fall between these two estimates. 4 A summary of the monetized benefits estimates at discount rates of 3 percent and 7 percent is in Table 12 of this preamble.

CO 2 -related disbenefits were calculated using the social cost of carbon, which is discussed further in the RIA. 2 The estimates in this table reflect the estimates in the RIA.

These benefits estimates represent the total monetized human health benefits for populations exposed to less PM 2.5 in 2015 from controls installed to reduce air pollutants in order to meet these standards. These estimates are calculated as the sum of the monetized value of avoided premature mortality and morbidity associated with reducing a ton of PM 2.5 and PM 2.5 precursor emissions. To estimate human health benefits derived from reducing PM 2.5 and PM 2.5 precursor emissions, we used the general approach and methodology laid out in Fann, Fulcher, and Hubbell (2009). 5 To generate the benefit-per-ton estimates, we used a model to convert emissions of direct PM 2.5 and PM 2.5 precursors into changes in ambient PM 2.5 levels and another model to estimate the changes in human health associated with that change in air quality. Finally, the monetized health benefits were divided by the emission reductions to create the benefit-per-ton estimates. These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature

Directly emitted PM 2.5 , SO 2 , and NO x are the primary precursors affected by this rule. Even though we assume that all fine particles have equivalent health effects, the benefit-per-ton estimates vary between precursors because each ton of precursor reduced has a different propensity to form PM 2.5 . For example, SO 2 has a lower benefit-per-ton estimate than
direct PM 2.5 because it does not directly transform into

PM 2.5 , and because sulfate particles formed from SO 2 emissions can transport many miles, including over areas with low populations. Direct PM 2.5 emissions convert directly into ambient PM 2.5 , thus, to the extent that emissions occur in population areas, exposures to direct

PM 2.5 will tend to be higher, and monetized health benefits will be higher than for SO 2 emissions. For context, it is important to note that the magnitude of the PM benefits is largely driven by the concentration response function for premature mortality. Experts have advised EPA to consider a variety of assumptions, including estimates based on both empirical (epidemiological) studies and judgments elicited from Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 219 of 450 scientific experts, to characterize the uncertainty in the relationship between PM 2.5 concentrations and premature mortality. For this rule, we cite two key empirical studies, the American Cancer Society cohort study 6 and the extended Six Cities cohort study. 7 In the RIA for this rule, which is available in the docket, we also include benefits estimates derived from expert judgments and other assumptions. EPA strives to use the best available science to support our benefits analyses. We recognize that interpretation of the science regarding air pollution and health is dynamic and evolving. After reviewing the scientific literature and recent scientific advice, we have determined that the no-threshold model is the most appropriate model for assessing the mortality benefits associated with reducing PM 2.5 exposure. Consistent with this recent advice, we are replacing the previous threshold sensitivity analysis with a new “LML” assessment. While an LML assessment provides some insight into the level of

Most of the estimated PM-related benefits in this rule would accrue to populations exposed to higher levels of

PM 2.5 . Using the Pope, et al., (2002) study, 85 percent of the population is exposed at or above the LML of 7.5 μg/m 3

. Using the Laden, et al., (2006) study, 40 percent of the population is exposed above the LML of 10 μg/m 3 . It is important to emphasize that we have high confidence in

PM 2.5 -related effects down to the lowest LML of the major cohort studies. This fact is important, because as we estimate PM-related mortality among populations exposed to levels of PM 2.5 that are successively lower, our confidence in the results diminishes. However, our analysis shows that the great majority of the impacts occur at higher

exposures. This analysis does not include the type of detailed uncertainty assessment found in the 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS RIA because we lack the necessary air quality input and monitoring data to run the benefits model. In addition, we have not conducted any air quality modeling for this rule. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 221 of 450

The 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS benefits analysis 8 provides an indication of the sensitivity of our results to various assumptions. It should be emphasized that the monetized benefits estimates provided above do not include benefits from several important benefit categories, including reducing other air pollutants, ecosystem effects, and visibility impairment. The benefits from reducing HAP have not been monetized in this analysis, including reducing 25,000 tons of CO, 470 tons of HCl, 4.1 tons of Pb, 0.95 tons of Cd, 260 pounds of Hg and 92 grams of total D/F each year. Although we do not have sufficient information or modeling available to provide monetized estimates for this rulemaking, we include a qualitative assessment of the health effects of these air pollutants in the RIA for this rule, which is available in the docket. In addition, the monetized benefits estimates provided in Table 12 of this preamble do not reflect the disbenefits associated with increased electricity and fuel consumption to operate the control devices. We estimate that the increases in emissions of CO 2 would have disbenefits valued

Accordingly, EPA submitted this action to the OMB for review under Executive Order s 12866 and 13563 , and any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket for this action. In addition, EPA prepared an analysis of the potential costs and benefits associated with this action.

a All estimates are for the implementation year (2015), and are rounded to two significant figures. These results include units anticipated to come online and the lowest cost disposal assumption. b The total monetized benefits reflect the human health benefits associated with reducing exposure to PM 2.5 through reductions of directly emitted PM 2.5 and PM 2.5 precursors such as NO x and SO 2 . It is important to note that the monetized benefits include many but not all health effects associated with PM 2.5 exposure. Benefits are shown as a range from Pope, et al. (2002) to Laden, et al. (2006). These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because there is no clear scientific evidence that would support the development of differential effects estimates by particle type. These estimates include energy disbenefits valued at $3.8 million. c The methodology used to estimate social costs for 1 year in the multimarket model using surplus changes results in the same social costs for both discount rates. d The estimates in this table reflect the estimates in the RIA. Due to last minute changes, we were unable to incorporate the final engineering costs and emission reductions into the RIA, which would decrease the costs by approximately 22% and increase the monetized benefits by approximately 4% from those shown here.

The information collection requirements are not enforceable until OMB approves them.

An affirmative defense to civil penalties for exceedances of emission limits that are caused by malfunctions is available to a source if it can demonstrate that certain criteria and requirements are satisfied. The criteria ensure that the affirmative defense is available only where the event that causes an exceedance of the emission limit meets the narrow definition of malfunction in 40 C.F.R. 63.2 (sudden, infrequent, not reasonably preventable and not caused by poor maintenance and or careless operation) and where the source took necessary actions to minimize emissions. In addition, the source must meet certain notification and reporting requirements. For example, the source must prepare a written root cause analysis and submit a written report to the Administrator documenting that it has met the conditions and requirements for assertion of the affirmative defense. To provide the public with an estimate of the relative magnitude of the burden associated with an assertion of the affirmative defense position adopted by a source, EPA provides an administrative adjustment to this ICR that shows what the notification, recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with the assertion of the Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 226 of 450 affirmative defense might entail. EPA’s estimate for the required notification, reports and records, including the root cause analysis, totals $3,141 and is based on the time and effort required of a source to review relevant data, interview plant employees, and document the events surrounding a malfunction that has caused an exceedance of an emission limit. The estimate also includes time to produce and retain the record and reports for submission to EPA. EPA provides this illustrative estimate of this burden because these costs are only incurred if there has been a violation and a source chooses to take advantage of the affirmative defense. The requirements in this final rule result in industry recordkeeping and reporting burden associated with review of the amendments for all CISWI, and inspections of scrubbers, FFs, and other air pollution control devices that may be used to meet the emission limits for all CISWI. Ongoing parametric monitoring requirements for ESPs, SNCR, and ACI are also required of all CISWI units. Stack testing and development of new parameter limits would be necessary for CISWI that need to make performance improvements in order to meet the emission limits and for CISWI that, prior to this action, have not been required to demonstrate compliance with certain pollutants.

When this ICR is approved by OMB, the Agency will publish a technical amendment to 40 CFR part 9 in the Federal Register to display the OMB control number for the approved information collection requirements contained in this final rule. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act The RFA generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedures 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 government organizations and small government jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of the rule on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined by the Small Business Administration’s Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 229 of 450 (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; or (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise that is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. After considering the economic impacts of the rule on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. We estimate that there are 88 entities subject to this regulation, of which 10 of them are considered to be small companies. The small entities directly regulated by the rule are facilities engaged in industrial or commercial operations, such as paper and paperboard manufacturing and utility providers. The average cost-to-sales ratios for small companies are below 3.5 percent. The median ratio is 2.2 percent. Only four entities , which are in 3 different industries, have a sales test that exceeds 3 percent. For the purposes of this rulemaking, four is not considered a "substantial number" of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Title II of the UMRA of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, requires federal agencies, unless otherwise prohibited by law, to assess the effects of their regulatory actions on state, local, and tribal governments and the private sector. This rule contains a federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more for state, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector in any 1 year. Accordingly, EPA has prepared under section 202 of the UMRA a written statement, which is summarized below. 1. Statutory Authority As discussed in section II.A of this preamble, the statutory authority for the final rule is CAA sections 129 and 111. CAA section 129 CISWI standards include numeric emissions limitations for the nine pollutants specified in CAA section 129(a)(4), and may include emission limitations for opacity. Section 129(a)(2) of the CAA directs EPA to develop standards based on MACT, which require existing and new major sources to control emissions of the nine pollutants. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 231 of 450 In compliance with section 205(a) of the UMRA, we identified and considered a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives. The regulatory alternative upon which the rule is based is the least costly, most cost-effective alternative to achieve the statutory requirements of CAA section 129. 2. Social Costs and Benefits The RIA prepared for the final rule, including the EPA’s assessment of costs and benefits, is detailed in the “Regulatory Impact Analysis: Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units” in the docket. Based on estimated compliance costs on all sources associated with the final rule and the predicted change in prices and production in the affected industries, the estimated social costs of the final rule are $ 218 million (2008 dollars). In the year of full implementation (2015), EPA estimates the monetized

PM 2.5 benefits of the NSPS and EG are $340 million to $830 million and $310 million to $750 million, at 3 percent and 7 percent discount rates respectively. All estimates are in 2008$.

The benefits from reducing other air pollutants have not been monetized in this analysis, including reducing 23,450 tons of CO, 431 tons of HCl, 4. 5 tons of Pb, 0. 9 tons of Cd, 210 pounds of Hg, and 110 grams of total dioxins and furans each year. In addition, ecosystem benefits and visibility benefits have not been monetized in this analysis Exposure to CO can affect the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. Emissions of NO x can transform into PM, which can result in fatalities and many respiratory problems (such as asthma or bronchitis); and

NO x can also transform into ozone causing several respiratory problems to affected populations. The net benefits for the NSPS and EG are $60 million to $550 million and $30 million to $470 million, at 3 percent and 7 percent discount rates respectively. All estimates are in 2008$. 3. Future and Disproportionate Costs The UMRA requires that we estimate, where accurate estimation is reasonably feasible, future compliance costs imposed by the rule and any disproportionate budgetary effects. Our estimates of the future compliance costs of the final rule are discussed previously in this preamble. We do not believe that there will be any disproportionate Deleted: 51

Effects on the National Economy The UMRA requires that we estimate the effect of the final rule on the national economy. To the extent feasible, we must estimate the effect on productivity, economic growth, full employment, creation of productive jobs, and international competitiveness of the United States goods and services if we determine that accurate estimates are reasonably feasible and that such effect is relevant and material. The nationwide economic impact of the rule is presented in the “Regulatory Impact Analysis: Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units” in the docket. This analysis provides estimates of the effect of the rule on most of the categories mentioned above. The results of the economic impact analysis are summarized in section VI of this preamble. 5. Consultation with Government Officials The UMRA requires that we describe the extent of EPA’s prior consultation with affected state, local, and tribal Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 234 of 450 officials, summarize the officials’ comments or concerns and summarize our response to those comments or concerns. We have determined that this final rule contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, this final rule is not subject to the requirements of section 203 of the UMRA. 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 Executive Order 13132

. Under Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue an action that has federalism implications, that imposes substantial direct compliance costs, and that is not required by statute, unless the federal government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by state and local governments, or EPA consults with state and local officials early in the process of developing the proposed action. EPA’s proposed action estimated expenditures of greater than $100 million to state and local governments Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 235 of 450 and therefore as specified by the Executive Order, EPA consulted with elected state and local government officials, or their representative national organizations, when developing regulations and policies that impose substantial compliance costs on state and local governments. Pursuant to Agency policy, EPA conducted a briefing for the “Big 10” intergovernmental organizations representing elected state and local government officials, as discussed in section VIII.D of the proposal preamble (75 FR 63260) to formally request their comments and input on the action. The Big 10 provided EPA with feedback on the proposed standards and EG for SSI units. EPA has concluded that this final rule will not have federalism implications, as defined by Agency guidance for implementing the Executive Order, due to the final rule’s direct compliance costs on state or local governments resulting in expenditures of less than $100 million. In the spirit of Executive Order 13132 and consistent with EPA policy to promote communications between EPA and state and local governments, EPA specifically solicited comment on the proposed rule from state and local officials. Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 236 of 450 F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175, (65 FR 67249; November 9, 2000). EPA is not aware of any CISWI in Indian country or owned or operated by Indian tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health and Safety Risks EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885; April 23, 1997) as applying to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is based solely on technology performance. H. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use This action is not a “significant energy action” as defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355; May 22, 2001) because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of

energy. EPA estimates that the requirements in this final rule would cause most CISWI in the ERU and waste-burning Deleted: 51

Given the negligible change in energy consumption resulting from this final rule, EPA does not expect any significant price increase for any energy type. The cost of energy distribution should not be affected by this final rule at all since the rule would not affect energy distribution facilities. We also expect that any impacts on the import of foreign energy supplies, or any other adverse outcomes that may occur with regards to energy supplies, would not be significant. We, therefore, conclude that if there were to be any adverse energy effects associated with this final rule, they would be minimal. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act Section 12(d) of the NTTAA of 1995), Public Law No. 104-113 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use VCS in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 238 of 450 and business practices) that are developed or adopted by VCS bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and applicable VCS. EPA conducted searches for the “Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units” through the Enhanced NSSN database, which is a search engine that is defined as a National Resource for Global Standards, managed by the ANSI. We also contacted VCS organizations and accessed and searched their databases. This rulemaking involves technical standards. EPA has decided to use ASME PTC 19.10-1981, “Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus],” for its manual methods of measuring the oxygen or CO 2 content of the exhaust gas. These parts of ASME PTC 19.10-1981, Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus] are acceptable alternatives to EPA Methods 3B, 6, 7 and 7C. This standard is available from the ASME, 3 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990. Another VCS, ASTM D6735-01, “Standard Test Method for Measurement of Gaseous Chlorides and Fluorides from Mineral Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 239 of 450 Calcining Exhaust Sources—Impinger Method,” is an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 26A. Another VCS, ASTM D6784-02, “Standard Test Method for Elemental, Oxidized, Particle-Bound and Total Mercury in Flue Gas Generated from Coal-Fired Stationary Sources (Ontario Hydro Method)” is an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 29. During the search, if the title or abstract (if provided) of the VCS described technical sampling and analytical procedures that are similar to EPA’s reference method, EPA ordered a copy of the standard and reviewed it as a potential equivalent method. All potential standards were reviewed to determine the practicality of the VCS for this rule. This review requires significant method validation data which meets the requirements of EPA Method 301 for accepting alternative methods or scientific, engineering and policy equivalence to procedures in EPA reference methods. The EPA may reconsider determinations of impracticality when additional information is available for particular VCS. The search identified 24 other VCS that were potentially applicable to this rule in lieu of EPA reference methods. After reviewing the available standards, EPA determined that 22 candidate VCS (ASTM Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 240 of 450 D3154-00 (2006), ASME B133.9-1994 (2001), ISO10396:1993 (2007), ISO12039:2001, ASTM D5835-95 (2007), ASTM D6522-00 (2005), CAN/CSA Z223.2-M86 (1999), ISO 9096:1992 (2003), ANSI/ASME PTC 38-1980 (1985), ASTM D3685/D3685M-98 (2005), ISO 7934:1998, ISO 11632:1998, ASTM D1608-98 (2003), ISO11564:1998, CAN/CSA Z223.24-M1983, CAN/CSA Z223.21- M1978, ASTM D3162-94 (2005), EN 1948-3 (1996), EN 1911- 1,2,3 (1998), EN 13211:2001, CAN/CSA Z223.26-M1987), ASTM D6735-01 (2009) identified for measuring emissions of pollutants or their surrogates subject to emission standards in the rule would not be practical due to lack of equivalency, documentation, validation data, and other important technical and policy considerations. Under 40 CFR 60.13(i) of the NSPS General Provisions, a source may apply to EPA for permission to use alternative test methods or alternative monitoring requirements in place of any required testing methods, PS, or procedures in the final rule and any amendments. J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to AddressEnvironmental Justice in Minority Populations and LowIncome Populations Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629; February 16, 1994) establishes federal executive policy on EJ. Its main provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 241 of 450 practicable and permitted by law, to make EJ part of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority populations, low-income, and tribal populations in the United States. This final action establishes national emission standards for new and existing CISWI units. Based on data amendments and corrections that were incorporated following public comment on the proposed rule, the EPA estimates that there are approximately 100 such units, including incinerators, cement kilns, and ERUs, covered by this rule. The final rule will reduce emissions of all the listed HAP emitted from this source. This includes emissions of Cd, HC1, lead, Hg, and chlorinated D/F. Adverse health effects from these pollutants include cancer, irritation of the lungs, skin, and mucus membranes; effects on the central nervous system, and damage to the kidneys), and acute health disorders. The rule will also result in substantial reductions of criteria pollutants such as CO, NO x , PM, and

SO 2 . Sulfur dioxide and NO 2 are precursors for the
formation of PM 2.5 and ozone. Reducing these emissions
will reduce ozone and PM 2.5 formation and associated health Deleted: 51***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 242 of 450 effects, such as adult premature mortality, chronic and acute bronchitis, asthma, and other respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The results of the demographic analysis are presented in RIA, a copy of which is available in the docket. Based on the fact that the rule does not allow emission increases, the EPA has determined that the rule will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income, or tribal populations. However, to the extent that any minority, low income, or tribal subpopulation is disproportionately impacted by the current emissions as a result of the proximity of their homes to these sources, that subpopulation also stands to see increased environmental and health benefit from the emissions reductions called for by this rule. EPA defines “Environmental Justice” to include meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To promote meaningful involvement, EPA developed a communication and outreach strategy to ensure that interested communities had Deleted: 51

Deleted: (Please refer to the RIA contained in the docket for this rulemaking.) ¶ Pursuant to Executive Order 12898, EPA has undertaken to determine the aggregate demographic makeup of the communities near affected sources. This analysis reflected the amended and corrected data set and used “proximity-to-a-source” to identify the populations considered to be living near affected sources, such that they have notable exposures to current emissions from these sources. In this approach, EPA reviewed the distributions of different socio-demographic groups in the locations of the expected emission reductions from this rule. The review identified those census blocks within a circular distance of 3 miles of affected sources and determined the demographic and socio-economic composition (e.g., race, income, education, etc.) of these census blocks. The radius of 3 miles (or approximately 5 kilometers) has been used in other demographic analyses focused on areas around potential
sources. 9,10,11,12 In addition, air modeling experience has shown that beyond 3 miles, the influence of an individual source of emissions can generally be considered to be small, both in absolute terms and relative to the influence of other sources (assuming there are other sources in the area, as is typical in urban areas). EPA’s demographic analysis has shown that these areas tend to have lower proportions of Whites, similar proportions of American Indians, and higherproportions of AfricanAmericans, Hispanics and “Other and Multi-racial” populations, and higher proportions of families with incomes below the poverty level. 13***E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote, or Release During Review*** Page 243 of 450 access to the proposed rule, were aware of its content, and had an opportunity to comment during the comment period. During the comment period, EPA publicized the rulemaking via EJ newsletters, tribal newsletters, EJ listservs, and the Internet, including the Office of Policy’s Rulemaking Gateway website ( http://yosemite.epa.gov/opei/RuleGate.nsf/ ). EPA also provided general rulemaking fact sheets (e.g., why is this important for my community) for EJ community groups and conducted conference calls with interested communities. In addition, in implementing the final rule, state and federal permitting requirements will provide state and local governments and members of affected communities the opportunity to provide comments on the permit conditions associated with permitting the sources affected by this rulemaking. K.
