The Administrator received petitions for reconsideration of certain aspects of the MATS NESHAP and the Utility NSPS. On November 30, 2012 (77 FR 71323) , , the EPA granted reconsideration of, proposed, and requested comment on a limited set of issues. We also proposed certain technical corrections to both the MATS NESHAP and the Utility NSPS. The EPA is now taking final action on the revised new source numerical standards in the MATS NESHAP and the definitional and monitoring provisions in the Utility NSPS that were addressed in the proposed reconsideration rule. As part of this action, the EPA is also making certain technical corrections to both the MATS NESHAP and the Utility NSPS. The EPA is not taking final action on requirements applicable during periods of startup and shutdown in the MATS NESHAP or on startup and shutdown provisions related to the PM standard in the Utility NSPS.

Background**
The Administrator signed the final MATS NESHAP and the Utility NSPS on December 16, 2011, and the final rules were published in the Federal Register at 77 FR 9304 on February 16, 2012. Following promulgation of the final rules, the Administrator received petitions for reconsideration of numerous provisions of both the MATS NESHAP and the Utility NSPS pursuant to CAA section 307(d)(7)(B). Copies of the MATS NESHAP petitions are provided in rulemaking docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0234. Copies of the Utility NSPS petitions are provided in rulemaking docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0044. The Administrator signed On November 30, 2012, the proposal granting reconsideration of certain issues in the MATS NESHAP and Utility NSPS issues on November 16, 2012, and the proposed rules were was published in the Federal Register at 77 FR 71323 on November 30, 2012
. **III. Summary of Today’s Action***** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **8** of **97** This final action amends certain provisions of the final rule issued by the EPA on February 16, 2012. Through an August 2, 2012, notice (77 FR 45967), the EPA delayed the effective date of the February 2012 rule for new sources only. That stay was limited to 90 days and has since expired. The February 2012 final rule is and remains in effect for all sources. The November 30, 2012, proposed reconsideration rule proposed: (1) certain revised new source numerical standards in the MATS NESHAP, (2) requirements applicable during periods of startup and shutdown in the MATS NESHAP, (3) startup and shutdown provisions related to the particulate matter (PM) standard in the Utility NSPS, and (4) definitional and monitoring provisions in the Utility NSPS. We also proposed certain technical corrections to both the MATS NESHAP and the Utility NSPS. We are taking final action today on the revised numerical new source MATS NESHAP limits, the definitional and monitoring issues in the Utility NSPS, and most all of the technical corrections not related to startup/shutdown issues

. This summary of the final rule reflects the changes to 40 CFR Part 63, subpart UUUUU, and 40 CFR Part 60, subpart Da (77 FR 9304; February 16, 2012) made in this regard. As noted above, in the proposed reconsideration rule, the*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **9** of **97** EPA took comment on the requirements in the MATS NESHAP applicable during startup and shutdown, including the definitions of startup and shutdown. The EPA also took comment on the startup and shutdown provisions relating to the PM standard in the Utility NSPS. The EPA received considerable comments regarding these startup and shutdown provisions, including data and information relevant to the proposed work practice standard that applies in such periods. The EPA is not taking final action on these the startup and shutdown issues at this time as it needs additional time to consider and evaluate the comments and data provided. 1 The Agency is currently reviewing all of the comments received on the startup and shutdown issues and intends to act promptly to address these issues. We note that no existing sources will have to comply with the existing source MATS standards before April 16, 2015. Further, no new sources are currently under construction and it takes years to complete construction. 77 FR 71330, fn. 7. As such, there will be sufficient time for the Agency to review the comments submitted concerning the proposed startup and shutdown provisions and take appropriate action well in advance of any

As described below, on the basis of information and data provided since the reconsideration proposal, today’s action revises certain new source numerical limits in the MATS NESHAP. Specifically, the EPA is finalizing revised hydrogen chloride (HCl), filterable PM (fPM), 2 sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), lead (Pb), and selenium emission limits for all new coal-fired EGUs; the mercury (Hg) emission limit for the “unit designed for coal > 8,300 Btu/lb subcategory;” fPM , and SO 2 emission limits for new solid oil-derived fuel-fired EGUs; fPM emission limits for new continental liquid oil-fired EGUs; and most of the emission limits for new integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) units.

In the February 2012 final Utility NSPS rule, the EPA adopted a definition of natural gas that excludes coal-derived synthetic natural gas consistent with the definition in MATS. In the Utility NSPS reconsideration proposal, we re-proposed and requested comment on that definition . Based on review of the
comments received in response to the reconsideration proposal , the EPA has concluded that the definition of natural gas in the final Utility NSPS is appropriate and, therefore, is not making any changes to that definition . We are also finalizing as proposed several additional one conforming amendment and two amendments related to EGUs burning desulfurized coal-derived synthetic natural gas . First, the definition of coal is we amended so that coal

- derived synthetic natural gas will meet the the definition of coal to make it clear that coal-derived synthetic natural gas is considered to be coal . In addition, in recognition of the fact that emissions from the burning of desulfurized coal-derived synthetic natural gas are very similar to those from the burning of natural gas, we amended the opacity and SO 2 monitoring provision have been amended provisions so that facilities burning desulfurized coal-derived synthetic natural gas will have similar opacity and SO 2 monitoring requirements*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Additional amendments include Further, we are finalizing as proposed certain revisions to the definition of IGCC in the Utility NSPS. We are also finalizing as proposed the revised procedures for calculating PM emission rates so that intended to make the MATS NESHAP and Utility NSPS procedures will be consistent. consistent with those in the MATS NESHAP. We did not receive any adverse comments regarding this proposed change. Finally, we are finalizing as proposed the technical corrections to the PM standar d standards for facilities that commenced construction before March 1, 2005, and to correct the PM standard for facilities that commence modification after May 3, 2011. The impacts of today’s revisions on the costs and the benefits of the final rule are minor. We As noted above, we expect that source owners and operators will install and operate the same or similar control technologies to meet the revised standards in this action as they would have chosen to comply with the standards in the February 2012 final rule.

**NESHAP New Source Issues***** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **16** of **97** After consideration of the public comments received, the EPA has made certain changes in this final action from the reconsideration proposal. Most are changes to clarify applicability and address implementation issues raised by the
commenter s. We address the most significant comments in this preamble. However for a complete summary of the comments received on the issues we are finalizing today and our responses thereto, please refer to the memorandum “National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air Pollutants From Coal- And Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units – Reconsideration; Summary Of Public Comments And Responses” (March 2013) in rulemaking docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0234. In this action, we are finalizing certain new source emission limits for the MATS NESHAP, as discussed below. 1. Changes to Certain New Source MATS NESHAP Limits Commenters noted that in two instances, Pb emissions from coal-fired EGUs and the fPM emissions from continental liquid oil-fired EGUs, the EPA had proposed new source emission limits that were less stringent than those in the final MATS NESHAP for the respective existing sources. This approach was inconsistent*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **17** of **97** with that taken in the final MATS NESHAP. 4 Although CAA section 112(d)(3) allows existing source MACT floor limits to be less stringent than new source limits, the EPA interprets this provision as precluding new source limits from being less stringent than existing source limits. See CAA section 112(d)(3). Further, in this specific instance, the data support setting the new source limit being equivalent to the existing source limit. Thus Thus, for Pb emissions from coal-fired EGUs and fPM emissions from continental liquid oil-fired EGUs , the EPA is finalizing new source limits that are equivalent to the final existing-source limits.
Commenters Next, commenters noted that when evaluating SO 2 emissions data from coal-fired EGUs, the EPA had not selected the lowest emitting source upon which to base the emission limit and that its rationale for excluding certain data was unlawful and arbitrary. Although the EPA disagrees with commenters on several of the excluded data sets (i.e., some of the data sets suggested by commenters comprised only a single 3-run average for each EGU with no individual run data, making assessment of

4 See “ National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Floor Analysis for Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units for Final Rule ,” Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2009- 0234-20132, p. 13.*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **18** of **97** variability impossible), it agrees that it inadvertently omitted the data from Stanton Unit 10 in the proposal analyses. Stanton Unit 10 does have a lower “lowest” 3-run data average than does the EGU selected for the new source analysis (Sandow Unit 5A) in the proposed reconsideration rule. In this final action, the EPA used the Stanton data to calculate the MACT floor using the same statistical analyses used in the proposed rule (i.e., 99 percent upper predictive limit (UPL)), and the resulting MACT floor emission limit is 1.3 pounds per megawatt-hour (lb/MWh). Because this limit is less stringent than the new source performance standard (NSPS) finalized in the Utility NSPS (77 FR 9451; February 16, 2012), the EPA is finalizing a beyond-the-floor (BTF) MACT standard of 1.0 lb/MWh, which is the same level required by the CAA section 111 NSPS for these same sources. 5 See 40 CFR 60.43Da(l)(1)(i). As
cost Cost is a required consideration in establishing CAA section 111 rules and in going BTF in establishing CAA section 112 rules , we are adopting the . We evaluated cost evaluation in assessing whether to go BTF for this standard and concluded that

5 The CAA section 111 standard is based on the performance of EGUs with the best performing SO 2 controls, a reasonable incremental cost effectiveness of less than $1,000 per ton of SO 2 controlled, and controls that result in minimal secondary environmental and energy impacts.*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **19** of **97** it was appropriate to go BTF to a level of the NSPS
. I n any case, because 1.0 lb/MWh. Moreover, the NSPS limit (also 1.0 lb/MWh) is in place and all new source coal-fired EGUs will be are required to comply with that limit . As such , there is no additional cost to these sources. 6 Furthermore, we have not identified any non-air quality health or environmental impacts or energy requirements associated with the final standard set at this level. In addition, at reconsideration proposal, we evaluated going BTF more stringent than the NSPS level and found it not to be cost effective. 7 For these reasons, we are finalizing 1.0 lb/MWh as the new source MATS NESHAP limit, which is the same limit required for SO 2 emissions from for new coal

fired EGUs under the Utility NSPS. The CAA section 111 standard is based on the performance of EGUs with the best performing SO 2 controls, a reasonable incremental cost effectiveness of less than $1,000 per ton of SO 2 controlled, and controls that result in minimal secondary environmental and energy impacts. for new

6 The final Utility NSPS limit was not challenged and coal-fired EGUs constructed after May 3, 2011, must meet that limit. 7 See Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0234-20221 and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Beyond theMaximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Floor (‘Beyond-theFloor’) Analysis for Revised Emission Standards for New Source Coal-and Oil-fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units also in the rulemaking docket.*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **20** of **97** coal-fired EGUs under the Utility NSPS. In the proposed reconsideration rule, we indicated that detection level issues may arise from using a sorbent trap when short sampling periods (e.g., 30 minutes) are used. As such, the EPA solicited comment on its establishment of a Representative Detection Level (RDL) associated with Hg sorbent traps. The EPA also solicited comment on whether the UPL calculated floor should be compared against the 3XRDL value for Hg to account for the shorter sampling periods (the 3XRDL approach). The EPA received several comments, ranging from strong support for the Hg RDL and the proposed emission limit because, at that level, the commenters asserted that vendors would be able to provide commercial guarantees, to concerns about the specific inputs to the 3XRDL calculation and the application of the 3xRDL approach. See section 2.2.1 of the response to comments document (RTC) for a more complete discussion and response to these comments. In the proposed reconsideration rule, the EPA recognized that 30 minutes of sample collection is the shortest reasonable amount of time available for collecting and changing sorbent tubes to provide the quick, reliable feedback that will allow sources to react to changing Hg emissions levels and assure compliance with the final Hg limit. Some commenters pointed out*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **21** of **97** that the EPA’s memorandum entitled “Determination of Representative Detection Level (RDL) and 3 X RDL Values for Mercury Measured Using Sorbent Trap Technologies,” 8 contains a 30-minute sample collection time in the 3XRDL calculation, but the text of the memorandum references a 20-minute sample collection time. The EPA has revised the text of the memorandum to reflect its original intent, which was to focus on a sample collection period of 30 minutes (not 20 minutes). The revised memorandum focuses on the 30-minute sample collection period. Given that it takes 5 minutes for sorbent trap insertion and removal, it would take a total of 40 minutes to secure the requisite sample collection (30 minutes for sample collection, 5 minutes to remove the sorbent trap, and 5 minutes to re-insert the trap). We are finalizing the Hg limit using the 3XRDL approach assuming a 30-minute sampling time. 2. Filterable PM Testing, Monitoring, and Compliance Certification for New EGUs in the MATS NESHAP Rule Several monitoring options for the fPM standard for new

8 8 The EPA developed the memorandum to determine appropriate RDL and 3XRDL values for sorbent trap monitoring systems, as well as calculate an emissions limit, in order to determine the shortest, reasonable sample collection period for those systems.

Page **22** of **97** sources were provided in the MATS NESHAP final rule, including quarterly stack testing, PM CEMS, and PM CPMS with annual testing. The EPA sought comment on whether to retain the quarterly stack testing compliance option for new EGUs, given that continuous, direct measurement of fPM or a correlated parameter is available, is preferable for determining compliance on a continuous basis, and is likely to be used by most new EGUs to monitor compliance with the proposed new source standards. As mentioned in section 4.1 of the RTC above , this final action does not retain the quarterly fPM performance testing option for new EGUs. New EGUs can be designed to incorporate PM CEMS or PM CPMS from the outset, without being impeded by retrofit location installation constraints that could impact existing EGUs. This final action now requires new sources to use either PM CEMS or PM CPMS as options for determining compliance with the new

source PM limits ; data from the PM CEMS or PM CPMS are suitable to provide air operating permit compliance certifications fPM limits
. The EPA requested comment on a number of issues associated with PM CPMS. The EPA identified three approaches to establish an operating limit based on emissions testing for those EGU*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **23** of **97** owners or operators who choose to use PM CPMS as the means of demonstrating compliance with the fPM emission limit. The first approach, which was proposed and which was contained in the final MATS NESHAP rule, would require an EGU owner or operator to use the highest parameter value obtained during any run of an individual emissions test as the operating limit , provided that the result of that individual emissions test met the emission limit.
. The second approach would require an EGU owner or operator to use the average parameter value obtained from all runs of an individual emissions test as the operating limit, provided that the result of the individual emissions test met the emissions limit. The third approach, which the EPA is finalizing in this final action, would require an EGU owner or operator to use the higher of the following: (1) a parameter scaled from all values obtained during an individual emissions test to 75 percent of the emissions limit or (2) the average parameter value obtained from all runs of an individual emissions test as the operating limit, provided that the result of the individual emissions test met the emissions limit.

Page **24** of **97** Cement rules, 9 increased operational flexibility and reduced emissions testing are available for those sources which emit at or below 75 percent of a standard – whether an emissions or operating limit. Reduced emissions testing is available in this final rule for those owners or operators whose EGU emissions do not exceed this 75 percent threshold. The EPA recognizes that adherence to this This 75 percent threshold allows for compliance flexibility and is simultaneously protective of the emission standards. The EPA believes well performing EGUs, i.e., those whose emissions do not exceed 75 percent of the emissions limit, should not face additional scrutiny or testing consequences provided their emissions remain equivalent to or below the 75 percent threshold. In this final action, the EPA uses the 75 percent threshold so as not to impose unintended and costly retest requirements for the lowest emitting sources and to provide for more cost effective, continuous, PM parametric

Page **25** of **97** monitoring across the EGU sector. This approach was selected from the options considered as it provides the greatest amount of EGU owner or operator flexibility while demonstrating continuous compliance for EGUs. With this parametric monitoring approach in place, the EPA expects EGUs to evaluate control options that provide excellent PM fPM emissions control and provide them greater operational flexibility below the standard
. Moreover, after each exceedance of the operating limit, the EPA proposed to require emissions testing to verify or re-adjust the operating limit, consistent with the approach contained in the recently-promulgated Portland cement MACT standard (see 78 FR 10014). Although one One commenter objected to potential frequent emissions testing to reassess the operating limit and then being subject to a violation of the emissions limit , as mentioned . The EPA does not believe that too-frequent testing will be required. As discussed in section 4.3.5 of the RTC, the EPA believes well-designed emissions testing will provide an operating limit corresponding with EGU operation ; , and such testing should yield an operating limit that would not be expected to be exceeded during the course of EGU operation. Therefore, an operating limit developed from well-designed emissions testing should have little, if any, need for frequent*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **26** of **97** reassessment via emissions testing less more frequently than the mandated annual reassessment because the source will be able to meet the limit on an ongoing basis. Finally, the EPA proposed that PM CPMS exceedances leading to more than 4 required emissions tests in a 12-month period (rolling monthly) would be presumed (subject to the possibility of rebuttal by the EGU owner or operator) to be a violation of the emissions limit, consistent with the approach contained in the newly-promulgated Portland cement MACT standard (see 78 FR 10014). The EPA consi dered the received a number of comments on this proposed provision, including comments supporting and opposing this approach, but the establishment of such a presumption. The EPA disagrees with those comments . The discussion opposing the presumptive violation, and believes the presumptive violation provision in the Portland cement preamble on this topic (see 78 FR 10020) final rule is relevant here. The a reasonable and appropriate approach to ensure compliance with the standard. First, the EPA may permissibly establish such an approach by rule, assuming there is a reasonable factual basis to do so. See Hazardous Waste Treatment Council v. EPA, 886 F. 2d 355, 367–68 (DC Cir. 1989) ( explaining that such presumptions*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **27** of **97** can legitimately establish the elements of the EPA’s prima facie case in an enforcement action
. ). Second, there is a reasonable basis here for the presumption that four exceedances (i.e., increases over the parametric operating limit) in a calendar year are a violation of the emission standard. The parametric monitoring limit is established as a 30-day average of the averaged test value in the performance test, or the 75 th percentile value if that is higher. In either instance, the 30- day averaging feature provides significant leeway to the EGU owner or operator not to deviate from the parametric operating level because use of the hourly values collected during 30 boiler operating days will significantly dampen variability in the single measurement (average of three test runs) that produced the parametric value. See 77 FR 42377/2 and sources there cited. See also 78 FR 10015, 10019; February, 12, 2013 (Portland Cement MACT) and the RTC for today’s action. As described in section 4.3.5 of the RTC The EPA also received comments addressing the re-testing requirements following an exceedance. Some commenters expressed concern about the burden of requiring sources to conduct performance tests in order to demonstrate compliance and to reassess the parameter level. In contrast, other commenters supported a requirement to*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **28** of **97** require re-testing but claimed that the time period between observing a parameter exceedance and retesting is too long. The EPA believes that the re-testing requirements are reasonable and appropriate to identify non-compliance without imposing undue burden. For even a single exceedance to occur, the 30-day average would have to be higher than the operating limit established for the PM CPMS during normal EGU operation. If that occurs, then the EGU owner or operator is required to conduct an inspection to determine any abnormalities and an emissions test to re-establish or generate a new operating limit. Given that EGUs and their emissions control devices are designed to operate at known, specific conditions, deviations from these conditions are not expected and are indicative of problems with load, controls, or some combination of both. Where these sorts of problems result in an exceedance of the source’s operating limit, it is reasonable to require re-testing in order to identify and then correct problems. More than four such exceedances of the 30-day average would mean that the EGU owner or operator was unable to determine or correct the problem, since inspection and re-calculation of the operating limit is required after each exceedance. This indicates an ongoing problem with maintaining process control and/or control device*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **29** of **97** operation, which would be the basis for a presumptive violation of the emissions standard. Moreover, the EPA disagrees that the period between exceedance of the operating limit and retesting is too long and could result in possible excessive emissions. Specifically, some commenters claimed that the final rule should not limit the number of exceedances of the PM CPMS limit that require follow-up performance tests in any 12-month period. These commenters alleged that to do so does not ensure continuous compliance because the time period between an exceedance and testing could be too long, and a source could be exceeding the emission limit during that time period. The EPA believes that the re-testing requirements reflect a reasonable balance between ensuring compliance and limiting unnecessary testing burden on regulated sources. An EGU owner or operator is required to visually inspect the air pollution control device within 48 hours of the exceedance, and corrective action must be taken as soon as possible to return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value. A performance test is also required within 45 days of the exceedance to determine compliance and verify or re-establish the PM CPMS limit. Thus, the EPA finds it unlikely that there will be long periods of noncompliance with the underlying fPM standard given the*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **30** of **97** inspection and performance testing requirements. The EPA also received comments stating that an EGU owner or operator should not be labeled a “violator” of the fPM standard as a result of a fourth successful compliance test in a 12-month period. First, the EPA notes that the presumption of a violation is just that – a presumption – and can be rebutted in any particular case. Moreover, in determining whether the presumption has been successfully rebutted, a Court may consider relevant information such as data or other information showing that the EGU’s operating process remained in control during the period of operating parameter exceedance, that the ongoing operation and maintenance conducted on the EGU ensured its emissions control devices remained in proper operating condition during the period of operating parameter exceedance, and that results of emissions tests conducted while replicating the conditions observed during the period of operating parameter exceedance remained below the emission limit. For the reasons explained above , this final action includes the presumption of violation of the emissions limit if more than 4 emissions tests are required in a 12-month period. **V. Summary of Final Action and Changes Since Proposal – Utility**
**NSPS***** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **31** of **97** The EPA has made a number of changes from the reconsideration proposal in this final action after consideration of the public comments received. Most are changes to clarify applicability and implementation issues raised by the commenters. The public comments received on the matters proposed for reconsideration and the responses to them can be viewed in the memorandum “Summary of EGU NSPS Public Comments and Responses on Amendments Proposed November 30, 2012 (77 FR 71323)” in rulemaking docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0044. In the proposed reconsideration rule, the EPA proposed a new definition for IGCC which would be consistent with the MATS NESHAP definition. However, as an alternative we also specifically requested comment on whether to retain a definition similar , but not identical, to the IGCC definition in the February 2012 final Utility NSPS. The alternate We have concluded that the alternative approach is most appropriate and are adopting a slightly revised definition based on the current definition that is consistent with the Agency’s statements on IGCC contained in the RTC in support of the final rule published on February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9304). Commenters generally supported amending the final Utility NSPS definition of IGCC , and this final action amends that definition consistent with the*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **32** of **97** statements made in the RTC for the Utility NSPS. The EPA has concluded that in this specific situation it is appropriate to have different definitions in the Utility NSPS and MATS NESHAP. The Utility NSPS definition deals with the intent of an IGCC facility and is, thus, broader than the MATS NESHAP definition
. The facility would still be subject to the same criteria pollutant emission standards even when burning natural gas for extended periods of time. The MATS NESHAP applicability is determined by specifi c operating parameters based on the EGUs utilization of coal and is oil and the rule may not applicable to EGUs when burning apply depending on the extent of natural gas
usage . The EPA proposed that the NSPS PM monitoring procedures be consistent with the MATS NESHAP requirements and included the use of quarterly stack testing, PM CPMS, or PM CEMS. In addition, the EPA sought comment on whether to retain include the quarterly stack testing compliance option for new EGUs, given that continuous, direct measurement of PM or a correlated parameter is available. EGUs complying with an output-based emissions standard can be designed to incorporate PM CEMS or PM CPMS from the outset, without being impeded by retrofit location installation constraints that would impact existing EGUs. This*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **33** of **97** final action requires EGUs complying with an output-based standard to use either PM CEMS or PM CPMS as options for determining compliance with the PM limits. Therefore, the EPA is finalizing the same monitoring procedures for PM for the Utility NSPS as for new sources subject to the MATS NESHAP, and is removing not finalizing the quarterly stack testing option. The EPA proposed that facilities using PM CPMS would be able to use either a continuous opacity monitoring system or a periodic alternate monitoring approach to monitor opacity. This final action does not require facilities using a PM CPMS to monitor conduct opacity monitoring. The EPA has concluded that the use of a PM CPMS at the level of the emissions standard required in subpart Da is sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the opacity standard and that additional monitoring is an unnecessary burden. **VI. Technical Corrections and Clarifications** On April 19, 2012 (77 FR 23399), the EPA issued a technical corrections notice addressing certain corrections to the February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9304), MATS NESHAP and Utility NSPS. In the November 30, 2012, reconsideration proposal, we proposed several additional technical corrections. Specific to the NSPS, we proposed correcting the PM standard for facilities that*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **34** of **97** commenced construction before March 1, 2005, to remove the extra significant digit that was inadvertently added and to correct the PM standard for facilities that commence modification after May 3, 2011, to be consistent with the original intent as expressed in the RTC of the final rule published on February 16, 2012 (77 FR 9304). We did not receive any negative comments on these issues and are finalizing them as proposed. Specific details are included in Table 3. Specific to the MATS NESHAP, the EPA requested comment on whether the proposed technical corrections in Table 4 of the preamble provide the intended accuracy, clarity, and consistency. As mentioned in section 6.3 of the RTC, commenters supported the proposed changes on equations 2a and 3a and this final action contains those changes. As mentioned in section 6.3 of the RTC, commenters did not support the change from a 30 to 60 day notification period for performance testing, and that change was not made to the rule; however, a change to the General Provisions applicability table was made to provide a consistent 30-day notification period. Commenters suggested changes to certain definitions to make them more consistent with the Acid Rain rule provisions, but as described in section 6.4 of the RTC, these rule changes were not made. These amendments*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **35** of **97** are now being finalized to correct inaccuracies and other inadvertent errors in the final rule and to make the rule language consistent with provisions addressed through this reconsideration.

Impacts of this Final Rule**
A. Summary of Emissions Impacts, Costs and Benefits Our analysis shows that new EGUs would choose to install and operate the same or similar air pollution control technologies in order to meet the revised emission limits as would have been necessary to meet the previously finalized standards. We project that this final action will result in no Formatted: Font: Not Bold, Underline*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **38** of **97** significant change in costs, emission reductions, or benefits. 10 Even if there were changes in costs for these EGUs, such changes would likely be small relative to both the overall costs of the individual projects and the overall costs and benefits of the final rule. Further, we believe that EGUs would put on the same controls for this final action that they would have for the original final MATS rule, so there should not be any incremental costs related to this revision.
A B . What are the air impacts ? We believe that electric power companies will install the same or similar control technologies to comply with the final standards in this action as they would have installed to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards. Accordingly, we believe that this final action will not result in significant changes in emissions of any of the regulated pollutants.
B C . What are the energy impacts ? This final action is not anticipated to have an effect on

10 See Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Final Mercury and Air Toxics Standards [EPA-452/R-11-011] (docket entry EPA-HQ-OAR2009-0234-20131) and Economic Impact Analysis for the Final Reconsideration of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards in rulemaking docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0234. As noted earlier, because on an individual EGU-by-EGU basis we anticipate very similar costs, any changes to the baseline since we finalized MATS (e.g., potential impacts of the CSAPR decision) would not impact this determination.*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **39** of **97** the supply, distribution, or use of energy. As previously stated, we believe that electric power companies would install the same or similar control technologies as they would have installed to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards.
C D . What are the compliance costs ? We believe there will be no significant change in compliance costs as a result of this final action because electric power companies would install the same or similar control technologies as they would have installed to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards. Moreover, we find no additional monitoring costs are necessary to comply with this final action; however, as in any other rule, EGU owners or operators may choose to conduct additional monitoring (and incur its expense) for their own purposes.
D E . What are the economic and employment impacts ? Because we expect that electric power companies would install the same or similar control technologies to meet the standards finalized in this action as they would have chosen to comply with the previously finalized MATS standards, we do not anticipate that this final action will result in significant changes in emissions, energy impacts, costs, benefits, or*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **40** of **97** economic impacts. Likewise, we believe this action will not have any impacts on the price of electricity, employment or labor markets, or the U.S. economy.
E F . What are the benefits of the final standards ? As previously stated, the EPA anticipates the power sector will not incur significant compliance costs or savings as a result of this action and we do not anticipate any significant emission changes resulting from this action. Therefore, there are no direct monetized benefits or disbenefits associated with this action. **VIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews** A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review Under Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993), this action is a “significant regulatory action” because it “raises novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates. ” .” Accordingly, the EPA submitted this action to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821; January 21, 2011) and any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket for this action.*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **41** of **97** In addition, the EPA prepared an analysis of the potential costs and benefits associated with this action. This analysis is contained in the “Economic Impact Analysis for the Final Reconsideration of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards” found in rulemaking docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0234. Because our analysis shows that new electricity generating units would choose to install the same control technology in order to meet the revised emission limits as would have been necessary to meet the previously finalized MATS standards, we project that this action will result in no significant change in costs, emission reductions, or benefits. B. Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not impose any new information collection burden. Today’s action does not change the information collection requirements previously finalized and, as a result, does not impose any additional burden on industry. However, OMB has previously approved the information collection requirements contained in the existing regulations (see 77 FR 9304) under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq . and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0567). The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **42** of **97** C. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of today’s action on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) a small business as defined by the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district, or special district with a population of lessthat 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-forprofit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. Categories and entities potentially regulated by the final rule with applicable NAICS codes are provided in the Supplementary Information section of this action. According to the SBA size standards for NAICS code 221122*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **43** of **97** Utilities-Fossil Fuel Electric Power Generation, a firm is small if, including its affiliates, it is primarily engaged in the generation, transmission, and or distribution of electric energy for sale and its total electric output for the preceding fiscal year did not exceed 4 million MWh. After considering the economic impacts of today’s action on small entities, I certify that the notice will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The EPA has determined that none of the small entities will experience a significant impact because the action imposes no additional regulatory requirements on owners or operators of affected sources. We have therefore concluded that today’s action will not result in a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act This action contains no Federal mandates under the provisions of Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538 for State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector. Therefore, this action is not subject to the*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **44** of **97** requirements of UMRA sections 202 or 205. This action is also not subject to the requirements of UMRA section 203 because it contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments because it contains no requirements that apply to such governments or impose obligations upon them. E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in EO 13132. None of the affected facilities are owned or operated by state governments, and the requirements discussed in today’s notice will not supersede state regulations that are more stringent. Thus, EO 13132 does not apply to today’s notice of reconsideration. F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes,*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **45** of **97** or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes, as specified in EO 13175. No affected facilities are owned or operated by Indian tribal governments. Thus, EO 13175 does not apply to today’s action. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks This action is not subject to EO 13045 (62 FR 19885; April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant as defined in EO 12866. The EPA has evaluated the environmental health or safety effects of the final MATS on children. The results of the evaluation are discussed in that final rule (77 FR 9304;February 16, 2012) and are contained in rulemaking docket EPAHQ-OAR-2009-0234. H. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not a “significant energy action” as defined in EO 13211 (66 FR 28355; May 22, 2001) because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. Further, we conclude that today’s action is not likely to have any adverse energy effects because it is not expected to impose any additional regulatory requirements on the owners of affected facilities.*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **46** of **97** I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) of 1995 (Public Law 104-113; 15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory and procurement activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., material specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, business practices) developed or adopted by one or more voluntary consensus bodies. The NTTAA requires EPA to provide Congress, through the OMB, with explanations when EPA decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. During the development of the final MATS rule, the EPA searched for voluntary consensus standards that might be applicable. The search identified three voluntary consensus standards that were considered practical alternatives to the specified EPA test methods. An assessment of these and other voluntary consensus standards is presented in the preamble to the final MATS rule (77 FR 9441; February 16, 2012). Today’s action does not make use of any additional technical standards beyond those cited in the final MATS rule. Therefore, the EPA is*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **47** of **97** not considering the use of any additional voluntary consensus standards for this action. J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-income Populations Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629; February 16, 1994) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice 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 and low-income populations in the United States. The EPA has determined that this action will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. Our analysis shows that new EGUs would choose to install the same control technology in order to meet the revised emission limits as would have been necessary to meet the previously finalized standard. Under the*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

. 2. Amend § 60.41Da by revising the definitions of “coal” and “integrated gasification combined cycle electric utility steam generating unit,” and by adding the definition of “natural gas” in alphabetical order to read as follows: **§ 60.41Da Definitions.**
* * * * * Coal means all solid fuels classified as anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, or lignite by the American Society of Testing and Materials in ASTM D388 (incorporated by reference, see §60.17) and coal refuse. Synthetic fuels derived from coal for the purpose of creating useful heat, including but not limited to solvent-refined coal, gasified coal, coal-oil mixtures, and coal-water mixtures are included in this definition for the purposes of this subpart.
* * * * * Integrated gasification combined cycle electric utility steam*** E.O. 12866 Review – Draft – Do Not Cite, Quote or Release During Review ***

Page **51** of **97** generating unit or IGCC electric utility steam generating unit means an electric utility combined cycle gas turbine that is designed to burn fuels containing 50 percent (by heat input) or more solid-derived fuel not meeting the definition of natural gas. The Administrator may waive the 50 percent solid-derived fuel requirement during periods of the gasification system construction, startup and commissioning, shutdown, or repair. No solid fuel is directly burned in the unit during operation.
* * * * * Natural gas means a fluid mixture of hydrocarbons (e.g., methane, ethane, or propane), composed of at least 70 percent methane by volume or that has a gross calorific value between 35 and 41 megajoules (MJ) per dry standard cubic meter (950 and 1,100 Btu per dry standard cubic foot), that maintains a gaseous state under ISO conditions. In addition, natural gas contains 20.0 grains or less of total sulfur per 100 standard cubic feet. Finally, natural gas does not include the following gaseous fuels: landfill gas, digester gas, refinery gas, sour gas, blast furnace gas, coal-derived gas, producer gas, coke oven gas, or any gaseous fuel produced in a process which might result in highly variable sulfur content or heating value.
