National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: 

Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes national emission standards 

for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for organic liquids 

distribution (OLD) (non-gasoline) operations, which are 

carried out at storage terminals, refineries, crude oil 

pipeline stations, and various manufacturing facilities. 

These proposed standards will{would} implement section 

112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by requiring all OLD 

operations at plant sites that are major sources to meet 

hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emission standards reflecting 

the application of the maximum achievable control technology 

(MACT). 

The EPA estimates that approximately 70,200 megagrams 

per year (Mg/yr) (77,300 tons per year (tpy)) of HAP are • 

emitted from facilities in this source category. Although a 

large number of organic HAP are emitted nationwide from 

these operations, benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, vinyl 

^ -
P.4 

3 

chloride, and xylenes are among the most prevalent.. These 

HAP have been shown to have a variety of carcinogenic and 

noncancer adverse health effects. 

The EPA estimates that these proposed standards would 

result in the reduction of HAP emissions from major sources 

in the OLD source category by 28 percent. The emissions . 

reductions achieved by these proposed standards, when 

combined with the emissions reductions achieved by other 

similar standards, will{would} provide protection to the

material is added throughout the rulemaking process. The 

docketing system is intended to allow members of the public 

and industries involved to readily identify and locate 

documents so that they can effectively participate in the 

rulemaking process. Along with the proposed and promulgated 

standards and their preambles, the contents of the docket 

will serve as the record in the case of judicial review. 

(See section 307(d)(7)(A) of the CAA.) The regulatory text 

and other materials related to this rulemaking are available 

for review in the docket, or copies may be mailed on request 

from the Air Docket by calling (202) 260-7548. A reasonable 

fee may be charged for copying docket materials. 

World Wide Web (WWW). In addition to being available in the 

docket, an electronic copy of this proposed rule is also 

available on the WWW through the Technology Transfer Network 

(TTN). The TTN provides information and technology exchange 

in various areas of air pollution control. Following

Owners and operators of plant sites which contain 

organic liquids distribution activities that are potentially 

subject to these proposed standards for OLD operations may 

also be subject to other NESHAP because of other activities 

that take place on the same plant site. Some tank farms are 

used to store and transfer organic liquids onto or off a 

synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) 

plant site that is subject to 40 CFR part 63, subparts F, G, 

and H—National Emission Standards for Organic Hazardous Air 

Pollutants from the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing

Industry (commonly referred to as the hazardous organic 

NESHAP, or "HON"). Distribution of crude oil or other 

organic liquids at a petroleum refinery subject to 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart CC—National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants from Petroleum Refineries (the 

Refinery NESHAP), may also come under OLD NESHAP coverage. 

Finally, bulk gasoline terminals subject to 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart R—National Emission Standards for Gasoline 

Distribution Facilities (Bulk Gasoline Terminals and 

Pipeline Breakout Stations) may distribute non-gasoline 

organic liquids through dedicated equipment which would fall 

under these proposed OLD standards. At plant sites subject 

to both the proposed OLD standards and another NESHAP, the 

OLD NESHAP, when finalized, would apply only to the specific 

equipment and activities that are related directly to the 

distribution of affected non-gasoline organic liquids (which 

includes liquids moved either onto or off the site). 

Some existing NESHAP may already regulate, and some 

NESHAP under development may intend to regulate, equipment 

used to distribute organic liquids (e.g., certain storage 

tanks or transfer racks at chemical production facilities 

subject to the HON). To avoid overlap of requirements in 

these cases, the OLD NESHAP would not apply to any OLD 

emission source already complying with control provisions

The Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 13101 

et seq., Public Law 101-508, November 5, 1990) establishes 

the national policy of the United States for pollution 

prevention. This Act declares that: (1) pollution should 

be prevented or reduced whenever feasible; (2) pollution 

that cannot be prevented or reduced should be recycled or 

reused in an environmentally-safe manner wherever feasible; 

(3) pollution that cannot be recycled or reused should be 

treated; and (4) disposal or release into the atmosphere 

should be chosen only as a last resort. 

The OLD operations covered by these proposed standards 

distribute organic liquids that are often manufactured and 

/ ^ 
P.14 

13 

consumed by other parties. Thus, two of the most common 

approaches for preventing pollution (product reformulation 

or substituting less polluting products) are not available 

to these facilities. Similarly, these facilities cannot use 

recycling or reuse as a way of limiting the amount of these 

liquids that they handle. However, the proposed equipment 

and work practice standards would prevent pollution from two 

of the principal emission sources in OLD operations. For 

storage tanks, we expect floating roofs to be used as a 

common alternative to add-on control technologies. For 

leaks from equipment such as pumps or valves, the required 

leak detection and repair program also would prevent 

pollution at the source without the need for add-on control 

equipment. The EPA is considering whether there are any 

pollution prevention measures that could be specified as 

n 

alternatives to the control approaches in the proposed 

standards. We are specifically requesting comments from the 

public on ways that additional pollution prevention measures 

could be applied at OLD operations facilities. 

B. What is the source of authority for development of 

NESHAP? 

Section 112 of the CAA requires us to list categories 

and subcategories of major sources and area sources of HAP, 

and to establish NESHAP for the listed source categories and 

/-
P.15 

14 

subcategories. The category of major sources covered by 

today's proposed NESHAP was on our initial list of HAP 

emission source categories as published in the Federal 

Register on July 16, 1992 (57 FR 31576). Major sources of 

HAP are those that have the potential to emit 10 tons/yr or 

more of any one HAP or 25 tons/yr or more of any combination 

of HAP. 

C. What criteria are used in the development of NESHAP? 

Section 112 of the CAA requires that we establish 

NESHAP for the control of HAP from both new and existing 

major sources. The CAA requires the NESHAP to reflect the 

maximum degree of reduction in emissions of HAP that is 

achievable. This level of control is commonly referred to 

as the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). 

The MACT floor is the minimum control level allowed for 

NESHAP and is defined under section 112(d)(3) of the CAA. 

In essence, the MACT floor ensures that the standard is set 

at a level that assures that all major sources achieve the 

level of control at least as stringent as that already 

achieved by the better-controlled and lower-emitting sources 

in•each source category or subcategory. For new sources, 

the MACT floor cannot be less stringent than the emission 

control that is achieved in practice by the best-controlled 

similar source. The MACT standards for existing sources can 

IH 
P.16 

15 

be less stringent than standards for new sources, but they 

cannot be less stringent than the average emission 

limitation achieved by the best-performing 12 percent of 

existing sources in the category or subcategory (or the 

best-performing 5 sources for categories or subcategories 

with fewer than 30 sources). 

In developing MACT, we also consider control options 

that are more stringent than the floor. We may establish 

standards more stringent than the floor based on 

consideration of the cost of achieving the emissions 

reductions, any nonair quality health and environmental 

impacts, and energy requirements. 

D. What are the potential health effects associated with 

HAP emitted from OLD operations? 

The type of adverse health effects associated with HAP 

emitted by this source category can range from mild to 

severe. The extent and degree to which health effects may 

be experienced is dependent upon: (1) the ambient 

concentrations observed in the area; (2) duration and 

frequency of exposures; and (3) characteristics of exposed 

individuals (e.g., genetics, age, preexisting health 

conditions, and lifestyle) which vary greatly within the 

population. Some of these factors are also influenced by 

source-specific characteristics (e.g., emission rates, 

AT 
P.17 

16 

release heights, and local weather conditions) as well as 

pollutant-specific characteristics such as toxicity. The 

following is a summary of the potential health effects 

associated with exposure to some of the primary HAP emitted 

from OLD operations. 

Benzene. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure of 

humans to benzene may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and 

headaches, as well as eye, skin, and respiratory tract 

irritation, and, at high levels, unconsciousness. Chronic 

(long-term) inhalation exposure has caused various disorders 

in the blood, including reduced numbers of red blood cells 

and aplastic anemia, in occupational settings. Reproductive 

effects have been reported for women exposed by inhalation 

to high levels, and adverse effects on the developing fetus 

have been observed in animal tests. Increased incidence of 

leukemia (cancer of the tissues that form white blood cells) 

has been observed in humans occupationally exposed to 

benzene. The EPA has classified benzene as a Group A, known 

human carcinogen. 

Ethylbenzene. Acute exposure to ethylbenzene in humans 

results in respiratory effects such as throat irritation and 

chest constriction, irritation of the eyes, and neurological 

effects such as dizziness. Chronic exposure to ethylbenzene 

by inhalation in humans has shown conflicting results 

ftf 
P.18 

17 

regarding its effects on the blood. Animal studies have 

reported effects on the blood, liver, and kidneys from 

chronic inhalation exposures. No information is available 

on the developmental or reproductive effects of ethylbenzene 

in humans, but animal studies have reported developmental 

effects, including birth defects in animals exposed via 

inhalation. The EPA has classified ethylbenzene in Group D, 

not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. 

Toluene. Humans exposed to toluene for short periods 

may experience irregular heartbeat and effects on the 

central nervous system (CNS) such as fatigue, sleepiness, 

headaches, and nausea. Repeated exposure to high 

concentrations may induce loss of coordination, tremors, 

decreased brain size, and involuntary eye movements, and may 

impair speech, hearing, and vision. Chronic exposure to 

toluene in humans has also been indicated to irritate the 

skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, and to cause dizziness, 

headaches, and difficulty with sleep. Children exposed to 

toluene before birth may suffer CNS dysfunction, attention 

deficits, and minor face and limb defects. Inhalation of 

toluene by pregnant women may increase the risk of 

spontaneous abortion. The EPA has developed a reference 

concentration of 0.4 milligrams per cubic meters (mg/m^) for 

toluene. Inhalation of this concentration or less over a 

n 
P.19 

18 

lifetime would be unlikely to result in adverse noncancer 

effects. No data exist that suggest toluene is 

carcinogenic. The EPA has classified toluene in Group D, 

not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. 

Vinyl chloride. Acute exposure to high levels of vinyl 

chloride in air has resulted in CNS effects such as 

dizziness, drowsiness, and headaches in humans. Chronic 

exposure to vinyl chloride through inhalation and oral 

exposure in humans has resulted in liver damage. Human and 

animal studies show adverse effects which raise a concern 

about potential reproductive and developmental hazards to 

humans from exposure to vinyl chloride. Cancer is a major 

concern from exposure to vinyl chloride via inhalation, as 

vinyl chloride exposure has been shown to increase the risk 

of a rare form of liver cancer in humans. The EPA has 

classified vinyl chloride as a Group A, known human 

carcinogen. 

Xylenes. Short-term inhalation of mixed xylenes (a 

mixture of three closely related compounds) in humans may 

cause irritation of the nose and throat, nausea, vomiting, 

gastric irritation, mild transient eye irritation, and 

neurological effects. Long-term inhalation of xylenes in 

humans may result in CNS effects such as headaches, 

dizziness, fatigue, tremors, and incoordination. Other 

/_r 
P.20 

19 

reported effects include labored breathing, heart 

palpitation, severe chest pain, abnormal electrocardiograms, 

and possible effects on the blood and kidneys. 

Developmental effects have been indicated from xylene 

exposure via inhalation in animals. Not enough information 

exists to determine the carcinogenic potential of mixed 

xylenes. The EPA has classified xylenes in Group D, not 

classifiable as to human carcinogenicity. 

Implementation of the OLD NESHAP would reduce 

nationwide organic HAP emissions significantly from current 

levels. Thus, the proposed standards have the potential for 

providing both cancer and noncancer related health benefits. 

By requiring facilities to reduce organic HAP emitted 

from OLD operations, the proposed standards would also 

reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Many 

VOC react photochemically with nitrogen oxides in the 

atmosphere to form tropospheric (low-level) ozone. A number 

of factors affect the degree to which VOC emission 

reductions will reduce ambient ozone concentrations. 

Human laboratory and community studies have shown that 

exposure to ozone levels that exceed the national ambient 

air quality standards (NAAQS) can result in various adverse 

health impacts such as alterations in lung capacity and 

aggravation of existing respiratory disease. Animal studies 

II 
P.21 

20 

have shown increased susceptibility to respiratory infection 

and lung structure changes. The VOC emissions reductions 

resulting from these proposed NESHAP will reduce low-level 

ozone and have a positive impact toward minimizing these 

health effects. 

Among the welfare impacts from exposure to air that 

exceeds the ozone NAAQS are damage to some types of 

commercial timber and economic losses for commercially 

valuable crops such as soybeans and cotton. Studies have 

shown that exposure to excessive ozone can disrupt 

carbohydrate production and distribution in plants. This 

can lead in turn to reduced root growth, reduced biomass or 

yield, reduced plant vigor (which can cause increased 

susceptibility to attack from insects and disease and damage 

from cold), and diminished ability to successfully compete 

with more tolerant species. In addition, excessive ozone 

levels may disrupt the structure and function of forested 

ecosystems. 

II. Summary of the Proposed Rule 

A. What source category __-J^auld^e^ affected by the 

proposed NESHAP? 

The proposed NESHAP would affect organic liquids 

distribution activities which, taken together, are 

considered to be a facility, or OLD operations. The 

20 
21 

regulated liquids consist of organic liquids that contain 5 

percent by weight or more of the organic HAP compounds in 

Table 1 of the proposed subpart EEEE, and all crude oil 

except black oil. The activities in this category occur 

either at individual distribution facilities or on 

manufacturing plant sites that consume or produce the 

organic liquids regulated by the proposed standards. Only 

those OLD operations at major source facilities or plant 

sites are being{would be} regulated. 

_r_J:_£_£_£_£_£_?_£—?_?_£_£ 

B. What are the primary sources of emissions and what are 

the emissions? 

The emission of organic HAP vapors results from storing 

and transferring HAP-containing liquids. Fixed-roof tanks 

undergo losses due to atmospheric changes and changes in the 

liquid level in the tank. Floating roof tanks experience 

standing storage and liquid withdrawal losses and also 

losses from fittings on the floating deck. 

As organic liquids are loaded into cargo tanks (tank 

trucks and railcars) at transfer racks, vapors are emitted 

to the atmosphere as the rising liquid displaces vapors 

formed above the liquid. To control these vapor emissions, 

the parked cargo tank may be connected to a closed vent 

vapor collection system and control device. Even in these 

controlled transfer systems, vapors may leak to the 

< PI 
22 

atmosphere from hatch covers, relief valves, or other parts 

of the system. 

The equipment components used to convey organic liquids 

between tanks or pipelines can also be a source of vapor 

leakage. At OLD operations, the equipment of concern are 

pumps, valves, and sampling connection systems. 

The volatile constituents of organic liquids, many of 

which are HAP, escape in the vapors emitted from these 

sources. Our 1998 survey of the OLD industry indicates that 

essentially all of the organic HAP listed in the CAA are 

present in the liquids distributed in these operations. 

Based on that survey and other information, we have 

estimated the total current HAP emissions from OLD 

operations to be 70,200 Mg/yr (77,300 tons/yr). 

C. What ^X^£u_k__--^-tl- t^e affected source? 

The affected source drs-^ould^be^ the combination of all 

regulated OLD activities and equipment at a single OLD 

operation. The following regulated activities are typically 

performed within OLD operations and- are part of the affected 

source: 

Transfer of organic liquids into, and storage in, 

fixed-roof or floating roof storage tanks; 

Transfer of organic liquids into cargo tanks (tank 

trucks or railcars) at transfer racks; and 

_ ? 
23 

• Transfer of organic liquids through pumps, piping, 

valves, and other equipment that may potentially 

leak. 

Only those OLD operations facilities with ah organic 

liquids throughput greater than 27.6 million liters (7.29 

million gallons) per year (either into or out of the 

facility) would be subject to the proposed standards. Also, 

only those transfer rack loading positions with an organic 

liquids throughput of 11.8 million liters (3.12 million 

gallons) per year or greater would be required to install 

the specified emission controls on those activities. 

D. What g_re^oiy-d^be^ the emission limits, operating 

limits, and other standards? 

The proposed NESHAP have various formats for the 

different activities and equipment being regulated. For 

affected storag3 e tanks, you {would Jhave two options for ' j «__-_-____=

control. First, you rrtayj^coulol^ install a closed vent system 

and control device with at least a 95 percent control 

efficiency for organic HAP or total organic compounds (TOC). 

As an option, combustion devices may meet an exhaust 

concentration limit of 20 parts per million by volume (ppmv) 

of organic HAP or TOC. An operating parameter of the 

control device irrt__rt^w^^d^avteR^o^ be continuously monitored 

and must be maintained within the established operating

limits. Second, you m_ry{couldJ meet a work practice

These proposed standards ___-{would be} the same for existing

25 

that is in organic liquids service for at least 300 hours 

per year. This form of control involves regular instrument 

monitoring for leaks, and repair of leaking equipment. 

Owners and operatorsj^j^uldj, have the option of applying the 

provisions of either subpart TT or UU of 40 CFR part 63. 

This leak detection and repair (LDAR) standard is being 

proposed for both existing and new equipment. 

E. What ___-j^w£uld^be}^ the testing and initial compliance 

requirements? 

• Affected OLD operations would need to determine which 

of their distributed liquids qualify as an organic liquid as 

defined in the proposed standards. The specified test 

method for this is EPA Method 18 in 40 CFR part 60, appendix 

A, and you {would }have the option of suggesting alternative 

approaches for the Administrator's approval. 

Control devices used for storage tanks or transfer 

racks would be subject to performance testing using EPA 

Method 18, 25, or 25A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, or 

Method 316 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix A, depending on the 

constituents of the gas stream being controlled and the 

format of the standard (organic HAP or TOC) the facility 

selects for its compliance demonstration. Floating roof 

tanks would be subject to visual and seal gap inspections to 

determine initial compliance with the tank work practice 

_ ^ 
26 

standards. The EPA Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, 

is specified for the equipment LDAR program. 

All cargo tanks equipped with vapor collection 

equipment that are used to distribute organic liquids from 

affected transfer rack loading positions would have to be 

tested annually for vapor tightness using EPA Method 27 of 

40 CFR part 60, appendix A. For cargo tanks that are not so 

equipped, the current approved DOT methods would continue to 

be used. 

Initial compliance with the emission limits for storage 

tanks and transfer racks would consist of demonstrating that 

the control device achieves 95 percent control efficiency 

for organic HAP or TOC, or 20 ppmv exhaust concentration for 

combustion devices. Note that all organic HAP are 

considered in this emission limit, not just the HAP listed 

in Table 1 of this proposed subpart. During the same 

initial performance test (or during a design evaluation of 

the device), you would establish the reference value or 

range for the appropriate operating parameter of the control 

device. 

Work practice standards are being proposed for storage 

tanks, transfer racks, and equipment. For floating roof 

storage tanks, you mtr__-Jj£pjilaMiay^ visually inspect each 

internal floating roof tank before the initial filling. For 

3G? 
P.28 

27 

external floating roof tanks, you must perform a seal gap 

inspection of the primary and secondary deck seals within 90 

days after filling. 

For affected transfer rack loading positions, you 

_m__rt^w^uld^ave^toJ!: maintain documentation showing that 

cargo tanks that will load at those positions are certified 

as vapor-tight. 

If you are implementingj^img^eme^^ an LDAR program for 

your OLD equipment, you ^^^t-J^wo^ld^^^v^toJ^ provide us with 

written specifications of the program as part of your 

initial compliance demonstration. 

F. What -nrejjroujLd^be^ the continuous compliance provisions? 

To demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission 

limitation for control devices controlling storage tanks or 

transfer racks, you must^wou^d^have^o^ continuously monitor 

the appropriate operating parameter and keep a record of the 

monitoring data. Compliance ^i^guloMDe^ demonstrated by 

maintaining the parameter value within the limits 

established during the initial compliance demonstration. 

There are different J^grogose^d^means of demonstrating 

continuous compliance with the work practice standards, 

depending on the emission source. For floating roof storage 

tanks, you rtra__j:5wou^da:5ha^e;:^o;:^ visually inspect the tanks on 

a periodic basis and keep records of the inspections. For 

_"7 
P.29 

28 

external floating roof tanks, seal gap measurements must be 

performed on the secondary seal once per year and on the 

primary seal every 5 years. Any conditions causing 

inspection failures{ would} need to be repaired and records ^ «___=_=_____

 jof the repairs kept. 

The owner or operato r r {would }need_- to perform vapor )-_-____-_- = j - . . • c 

tightness testing on cargo tanks and keep vapor tightness

positions, and also mustj^uld^av^^o^ take steps to ensure 

that only cargo tanks with vapor tightness certification are 

loaded at these positions. Examples of these steps are 

contacting cargo tank owners to explain the vapor tightness 

requirements and posting reminder signs summarizing the 

requirements at the affected loading positions. 

G. What

 a'T^i^ould_be}^ the notification, recordkeeping, and 

reporting requirements? 

The proposed OLD NESHAP would require you to keep 

records and file reports consistent with the notification, 

recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of the General 

Provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A. Two basic types of 

reports ^^^j^ouJydjDe^ required: initial notification and 

semiannual compliance reports. The initial notification

(SSMP) for control devices; and results of LDAR monitoring 

and storage tank inspections. These reports are also used 

to notify the regulatory authority of any changes in the 

organic liquids handled or changes in the OLD equipment or 

operations. 

Records required under the proposed standards

ensure that operating limits are being maintained. Records 

from the LDAR program and storage vessel inspections, and 

records of startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions of each 

control device are needed to ensure that the controls in 

place are continuing to be effective. 

III. Rationale for Selecting the Proposed Standards 

A. How did we select the source category? 

Organic liquids distribution operations were included 

as a source category on our initial list of HAP source 

categories. Since liquid distribution is often carried out 

at SOCMI, refinery, or other manufacturing plant sites, 

there is the potential for overlapping control requirements 

in those cases where OLD activities are already regulated by 

other NESHAP. To avoid the situation where an emission 

source could be subject to multiple NESHAP, we are defining 

the OLD source category to exclude emission sources already 

covered by other NESHAP from control under these proposed 

standards. 

The proposed Organic Liquids Distribution (nonGasoline) NESHAP would apply to organic liquids distribution 

activities at sites that are determined to be "major 

sources" as defined in section 112(a)(1) of the CAA. This 

means those plants or facilities where the stationary 

sources located within a contiguous area and under common 
P.32 

31 

control emit or have the potential to emit, considering 

controls, a total of 10 tpy or more of any single HAP or 25 

tpy or more of any combination of HAP. 

Under the EPA's 1995 Potential to Emit Transition 

Policy, State and local air regulators have the option of 

treating the following types of sources as nonmajor under 

section '.112 and permit programs under title V of the CAA: 

(1) sources that maintain adequate records to demonstrate 

that their actual emissions are less than 50 percent of the 

applicable major source threshold and have continued to 

operate at less than 50 percent of the threshold since 

January 1994; and (2) sources with actual emissions between 

50 and 100 percent of the threshold, but which hold Stateenforceable limits that are enforceable as a practical 

matter. During the EPA's rulemaking related to the 

potential to emit (PTE) requirements in the General 

Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A) and the title V 

operating permits program, we have issued three extensions 

to the original transition policy, the latest memorandum 

dated December 20, 1999 and entitled, "Third Extension of 

January 25, 1995 Potential to Emit Transition Policy." 

Sources that comply with either of the two criteria listed 

above will not be considered a major source under the OLD 

NESHAP. However, sources will be required to comply with 

__3_L 
32 

the applicable provisions of the final PTE rule as of the 

effective date of that rule. 

Organic liquids distribution operations that do not 

meet the criteria for a major source under the PTE 

transition policy are not being regulated at this time. We 

may consider area sources for regulation at a future date as 

part of the area source strategy authorized under section 

112(k) of the CAA. 

The source category covered by the proposed standards 

is not a single established "industry" in the usual sense, 

but involves a number of traditional industry segments. The 

purpose of the proposed standards is to enact controls on 

major source OLD operations wherever they occur, and this 

includes a variety of traditional industries. While these 

industry segments are distinct from one another (for 

example, they are described by several different SIC/NAICS 

codes), they are related to each other because they handle 

similar types of liquids which are inputs or outputs of the 

other segments. As an example, a particular organic liquids 

produced by a chemical manufacturing facility may be handled 

by a for-hire storage terminal, and then enter another 

manufacturing plant to be used in the making of a product. 

We believe the OLD source category is best explained 

through a description of the organic liquids and 

32-
33 

distribution activities that are affected, and the types of 

facilities where the OLD activities occur. 

The organic liquids affected by the proposed standards 

are those liquids that contain 5 percent by weight or more 

of the 69 organic HAP listed in Table 1 of the proposed 

subpart. These liquids include pure HAP chemicals (straight 

toluene, for example), petroleum liquids, and many blended 

mixtures and solutions of organic HAP chemicals that are 

stored and transported in bulk throughout the economy. The 

proposed rule would also affect all crude oil, with the 

exception of black oil, that has undergone custody transfer 

out of production facilities, even though individual crudes 

may have a total HAP content either above or below 5 percent 

by weight. Note that gasoline (including aviation gasoline) 

distribution is excluded from the proposed OLD NESHAP 

because these operations are already covered by the Gasoline 

Distribution NESHAP, 40 CFR part 63, subpart R. 

The OLD activities and equipment that 'a*^j:swouJ;oM^y_ 

subject to the proposed control requirements are: (a) 

storage of organic liquids in stationary storage tanks; (b) 

organic liquids transfer into cargo tanks (tank trucks or 

railcars) at transfer racks; and (c) the equipment 

components used in organic liquids transfer activities 

(pumps, valves, and sampling connection systems). Note that 

-1 
P.35 

34 

distribution under the proposed standards consists of those 

activities involved in storing organic liquids and 

transferring them either onto or off a major source plant 

site. 

Organic liquids distribution is carried out at three 

primary categories of operations. First is the stand-alone 

bulk terminal, which typically receives, stores, and sends 

out liquids owned by other companies ("for-hire" 

facilities). These facilities are not collocated with a 

manufacturing site and will be affected if they meet the 

major source criteria based on their OLD activities. Some 

chemical companies own stand-alone terminals to distribute 

their own liquids, and they may also lease storage space at 

these terminals to other companies. The second category 

consists of OLD operations that are contiguous and under 

common control with a manufacturing (e.g., SOCMI facility or 

petroleum refinery) plant site. The OLD operations that 

satisfy the annual throughput cutoff at plant sites that 

constitute a major source of HAP will be subject to the 

proposed standards. There may also be additional types of 

manufacturing facilities that have affected OLD operations. 

The third facility type is pipeline stations, typically 

\ 

\ 

handling crude oil, that have breakout storage tanks used to 

absorb surges in the pipeline flow or to serve as 

S*H 
P.36 

35 

distribution points for other modes (marine vessels, etc.) 

outside of the pipeline. 

Section 112(d)(1) of the CAA requires us to promulgate 

NESHAP for "each category or subcategory of major sources 

and area sources of hazardous air pollutants listed for 

regulation . . ." Subcategorization of a source category is 

sometimes appropriate for NESHAP when industrial segments 

within the category have different types of processes or 

emission characteristics or require the use of different 

types of control techniques. - As we developed the proposed 

OLD NESHAP, we considered whether we should develop 

different control requirements for the various OLD industry 

segments. 

A review of the OLD data base and the information 

gathered during our site visits to OLD facilities showed 

that, despite the extreme operating conditions that occur in 

the process units at SOCMI facilities and refineries, the 

liquid distribution operations at the various types of 

facilities are carried out under conditions at or close to 

ambient I Furthermore, common organic HAP control 

technologies (such as thermal oxidizers and flares) are 

applicable to and in use for the activities performed at all 

of the facility types. Thus, based on these factors, we 

concluded that designation of separate subcategories for the 

35" 
36 

purpose of developing different emission standards in the 

OLD NESHAP was not warranted. 

B. How did we select the {proposed }pollutants to be 

P.37 

regulated? 

The data base of results from our 1998 survey of OLD 

operations indicates the presence of about 93 different HAP 

in all of the reported liquids, which is most of the organic 

compounds or groups of compounds listed as HAP under section 

112(b) of the CAA. The variety of HAP is so large because 

the OLD industry represents the sum total of the chemical 

and petroleum liquids handled throughout industry (except 

gasoline). Yet, there may be additional organic HAP in 

liquids that are not in the EPA's OLD data base. 

We considered whether it would be reasonable to select 

all organic HAP listed under section 112(b) for regulation 

in the OLD NESHAP. Some organic HAP have a very low 

potential to be emitted to the atmosphere from OLD 

operations because of their low volatilities (vapor pressure 

value). We do not consider it reasonable for facilities 

that may have a significant part of their OLD operations 

dedicated to handling low-volatility HAP liquids to apply 

controls representing MACT to those activities. 

As a result, we decided it would be appropriate to 

develop a list of the specific organic HAP to be regulated 

_?f£ r~> 
P.38 

37 

by the proposed standards. We first made a listing of all 

of the HAP believed to exist in OLD operations, ranked in 

order of decreasing vapor pressure (at 25 degrees C). We 

then selected a vapor pressure cutoff of 0.1 pound per 

square inch absolute (psia) (about 0.7 kilopascal) to 

exclude the compounds with the lowest volatilities from the 

bottom of the table. This cutoff point was selected and was 

agreed to by industry reviewers as a reasonable level below 

which the emission potential would be minimal. The 0.7 

kilopascal vapor pressure cutoff is recommended by the fact 

that the HON (in Table 6 of 40 CFR part 63, appendix to 

subpart G) requires the application of controls for new 

storage vessels with a capacity of 151 cubic meters or 

greater and storing liquids with a vapor pressure of 0.7 

kilopascal or greater. The proposed applicability cutoffs 

for OLD storage tanks are similar to the cutoffs in the HON 

(for example, new OLD tanks larger than 151 cubic meters 

storing any liquid with a vapor pressure greater than 0.7 

kilopascal would be covered). If we choose a cutoff higher 

than 0.7' kilopascal, which would leave even fewer HAP 

subject to control, there would be an inconsistency between 

the HAP table and the proposed storage tank applicability 

cutoffs. Therefore, on the basis of these considerations, 

we used a cutoff of 0.7 kilopascal to derive the specific 

^>-7 
P.39 

organic HAP listed in Table 

The proposed standards 

involving two categories of 

38 

1 of the proposed standards. 

would affect OLD activities 

organic liquids: (1) those 

liquids containing at least 5 percent by weight of the HAP 

listed in Table 1 of the proposed subpart; and (2) all crude 

oils except black oil. As with the 0.7 kilopascal cutoff 

used to determine which HAP would be in Table 1, the intent 

of the 5 percent HAP cutoff is to exclude the lowest 

emitting organic liquids from the control requirements. The 

5 percent HAP cutoff also has precedent in existing part 63 

subparts. In the HON, 40 CFR part 63, subpart H and the 

NESHAP for Polycarbonate Production (40 CFR 63.1103(d), 

subpart YY), the equipment leak provisions affect only 

equipment containing or contacting a fluid that is at least 

5 percent by weight of total organic HAP, on an annual 

average basis. 

Our analysis of 17 different crude oil profiles 

indicated an average HAP weight percentage in the emitted 

vapors of about 6.0 percent. However, about half of these 

samples had a HAP percentage below 5 percent. Under the 5 

percent HAP cutoff defining a regulated organic liquid, this 

would exempt from control a large amount of the crude oil as 

it enters and leaves distribution facilities. 

Despite its relatively low HAP content, crude oil had a 

3^ 
P.40 

39 

significant vapor pressure that was as high as 8 psia and 

averaged about 3.5 psia for all of the profile data we 

examined. Also, crude oil is estimated to make up 

approximately 68 percent of the volume of organic liquids in 

the distribution system, and 84 percent of the volume for 

liquids with a HAP content below 10 percent. Since the 

potential emissions from crude oil are a significant 

fraction of the total OLD emissions, we believe that the 

potential reductions from controlling crude oil would be 

significant and are a compelling reason to regulate all 

distributed crude oil except for the specific variety 

discussed below. 

Black oil is a form of crude oil that we determined in 

the final NESHAP for Oil and Gas Production, 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart HH, to have a very low potential to produce flash, 

emissions from storage tanks. Furthermore, tanks containing 

black oil are not considered to be affected sources under 

subpart HH. We are including a similar exemption for black 

oil in the OLD NESHAP because we do not consider storage or 

transfer of black oil to constitute a significant emission 

source. The definition of black oil is being altered from 

that used in subpart HH. In subpart HH it is the "initial 

producing" gas-to-oil ratio and API (American Petroleum 

Institute) gravity that are used to define some crude oils 

s? 
P.41 

40 

as black oil. For this proposed subpart, we are using the 

gas-to-oil ratio and API gravity of the crude oil at the 

point of entry to the distribution system to define the 

crude oil as black oil. 

C. How did we select the jr^ro£P£ed^affected source? 

The affected source irs-j^wgulci^be^ the combination of all 

regulated emission sources at an OLD operations facility. 

The regulated emission sources at an OLD operations facility 

are: 

• Storage tanks; 

• Transfer racks; and 

• Equipment in organic liquids service. 

We have chosen a broad source definition which allows a 

storage tank, transfer rack, or single piece of equipment to 

be replaced or upgraded without its replacement being 

designated as a new source. The broad source definition was 

chosen for this source category because a more narrow source 

definition would mean that a change to an individual 

regulated emission source at a facility could cause that 

individual emission source to be designated as new. The 

designation as new would mean that the individual emission 

source (such as a single storage tank) would be required to 

observe the emission or operating limits in the proposed 

subpart for new sources. It also means that the emission 

qo 
P.42 

41 

source would need to be permitted separately, and its 

recordkeeping and reporting requirements could fall on 

intervals different from the rest of the facility. We 

looked at the emissions reductions that could possibly be 

gained through a narrow definition of affected source and 

decided that, on balance, a broad definition is the better 

choice. 

D. How did we determine the basis and level of the proposed 

standards for existing and new sources? 

1. MACT Floor Determination'. 

We determined separate MACT floors for each of the 

emission sources that exist at OLD operations. We received 

data through questionnaire responses from 247 facilities 

owned or operated by 77 companies. These facilities 

reflected the various major industry segments involved in 

organic liquids distribution. However, due to the pervasive 

nature of distribution operations throughout the economy, we 

believe that.our survey only captured about 40 percent of 

all of the large OLD operations in the country. Additional 

detailed information was obtained from site visits to nine 

OLD facilities. The data collected represent a complete 

range of the large facilities that would be affected by the 

proposed standard. Therefore, we believe the data are 

representative of OLD operations throughout the country. 

W 
P.43 

42 

We determined MACT floors for existing sources based on 

the arithmetic average of the lowest-emitting 12 percent 

where this approach made sense and produced a result that 

corresponded to use of a specific control technology. For 

the remaining cases, we used the median (middle) value to 

represent the MACT floor. For storage tanks and transfer 

racks, floors were determined for each subgroup (size and 

vapor pressure range for tanks, vapor pressure range for 

loading positions). For the several storage tank subgroups 

with fewer than 30 sources, we used the median of the five 

lowest-emitting tanks (the third tank). 

Using the storage tank data collected from OLD 

operations, we determined the relative emissions from 1,175 

reported tanks and listed these tanks from lowest to highest 

emitting within several tank size and liquid vapor pressure 

ranges. For transfer racks, we listed individual loading 

positions from lowest to highest emitting, starting with 

those with a control device, followed by those using bottom 

or submerged loading, and finally those using splash fill 

(considered the baseline, uncontrolled case). For equipment 

leaks, the facilities with a Federal LDAR program were 

listed first, followed by those with a State or local 

program, and then those with no program. 

The best controlled storage tanks at OLD facilities in 

£/£-
43 

our data base use either a closed vent system and control 

device or a well-designed internal or external floating 

roof. These controls represent the maximum level of control 

available for storage tanks. The existing source MACT floor 

for tanks was determined to be a choice of control device or 

a floating roof with effective emission seals. The specific 

tank sizes and organic liquids to which the MACT floor 

applies are essentially the same as those in the HON. 

The best controlled transfer racks at the OLD 

operations facilities in our survey data base are equipped 

with a vapor collection system and control device to reduce 

organic HAP emissions. Control efficiencies for these 

devices were reported as ranging from below 90 percent to 

over 99 percent, but no test data were provided to support 

these control efficiencies. The MACT floor for existing 

transfer racks was determined to be the use of a control 

device, without identifying any specific control 

efficiencies that constitute the floor. However, based on 

the types of devices in use and the liquids being 

controlled, we believe that a control efficiency of 95 

percent is appropriate for this floor. 

The best controlled OLD equipment is subject to an 

instrument-based LDAR program, and we found that an LDAR 

program similar to the HON program represents the existing 

*-? 
P.45 

44 

source MACT floor. 

For new sources, the CAA requires the MACT floor to be 

based on the degree of emissions reductions achieved in 

practice by the best-controlled similar source. The MACT 

floor for new sources and existing sources is the same in 

the case of transfer racks (use of a control device) and 

equipment leaks (an instrument LDAR program). For storage 

tanks, the control technologies in the MACT floors for 

existing and new sources are also the same. However, in the 

new source floor, these controls are applied to smaller 

tanks and to less volatile liquids when they are stored in 

larger tanks. 

A more detailed summary of the MACT floor analysis, 

including the data and the considerations used to determine 

the MACT floors for OLD operations, can be found in the 

technical support document located in the docket. 

2. Beyond-the-Floor Levels of Control 

Using the MACT floor levels as a starting point, we 

investigated whether any applicable control approaches were 

available that were both more stringent than these floors 

and satisfied the criteria in section 112(d)(2) of the CAA. 

The MACT floors for existing and new organic liquids 

storage tanks consist of a choice between the emission 

limitation in the HON (closed vent system and control device 

-W 
P.46 

45 

at 95 percent efficiency) and the floating roof requirements 

in 40 CFR part 63, subpart WW. These controls represent the 

maximum level of control available for storage tanks. The 

tank capacity and liquid vapor pressure cutoffs defining 

which tanks would be affected are the same as those in the 

HON. We believe that these cutoffs define all of the 

storage tanks that it is reasonable to regulate with MACT 

technology. Therefore, we were not able to identify any 

reasonable technologies that would create beyond-the-floor 

control levels for storage tanks. 

The best controlled organic liquids transfer racks 

achieve emissions reductions of 95 percent or greater using 

a closed vent system and control device. Due to the 

diversity of liquids handled in the industry and the 

consequent use of a variety of control devices, we concluded 

that levels above 95 percent should not be considered as an 

alternative control level for transfer racks. Therefore, no 

beyond-the-floor control levels were deemed achievable for 

this emission source. 

The best controlled OLD equipment is subject to an 

instrument-based LDAR program, and we found that an LDAR 

program similar to the HON program represents both the 

existing1 and new source MACT floors. We have not identified 

any beyond-the-floor control approaches that provide better 

4rSr 
P.47 

46 

control of leakage emissions from equipment at a reasonable 

cost. 

3. Selection of the Standards 

Some OLD operations may involve very low organic 

liquids throughputs because they operate intermittently, but 

they ___-{would} stilljbe} defined as a major source if they -* _________ ______= -*

 j 

are on the same plant site as a major source manufacturing 

operation. We desired a small size cutoff to exempt OLD 

operations with a very small amount of distribution 

activity. The survey data did not indicate any specific 

organic liquids throughput into or out of a facility that 

would help us in identifying a lower size threshold for the 

size of OLD operations facility that should be affected by 

the proposed standards. Therefore, we turned to existing 

Federal and State organic liquids transfer rules. The 

cutoff value of 20,000 gallons per day is frequently used to 

identify affected transfer facilities. This value converts 

to 27.6 million liters per year, the smallest size facility 

we are proposing to affect by these standards. This is a 

reasonable approach as facilities below this size cutoff do 

not have the volume of organic liquids throughput that would 

yield emissions warranting control, as identified by other 

Federal and State rules. If the throughputs into and out of 

the facility during a calendar year are different, then the 

He> 
P.48 

47 

larger of the two values "i^^g^ld-^be^ used to determine 

whether the operation is affected by these proposed 

standards. 

The proposed standards were selected following the 

completion of the MACT floor and beyond-the-floor analyses. 

After we determined that there were no reasonable control 

measures more stringent than the MACT floors, we used the 

floors as the basis for the selection of the standards. 

While some of our survey responses appeared to indicate 

control levels beyond the levels normally associated with 

these devices (i.e., many reports at or near 100 percent 

efficiency), we believed that these values did not represent 

the continuous performance of the control devices in use. 

Also, these high efficiency values were not supported by 

test data. Therefore, a control efficiency of 95 percent is 

being proposed for control devices used for storage tanks or 

transfer racks. To be consistent with the results from the 

test methods allowed for showing compliance, this control 

efficiency can be demonstrated in terms of either total 

organic HAP or TOC. In addition, combustion devices have an 

optional emission limit of 20 ppmv of organic HAP or TOC in 

the exhaust. 

Some transfer racks at OLD facilities are used only on 

a periodic or intermittent basis and, therefore, have 

1~i 
P.49 

48 

relatively low volume throughputs and low emissions. We do 

not believe it would be reasonable to install a control 

system on such low usage racks. However, the survey data 

did not indicate any specific throughput level below which 

transfer rack emission controls were not being used in OLD 

operations. 

As the survey data could not provide direction on a 

throughput cutoff, we searched existing Federal and State 

air rules to evaluate the cutoffs in use. The provisions of 

40 CFR 63.1101, subpart YY (Generic MACT Standards), define 

a low throughput transfer rack as a rack that transfers less 

than 11.8 million liters (3.12 million gallons) per year of 

liquid containing regulated HAP. This cutoff is equivalent 

to about one tank truck full of liquid per day. No 

additional cutoffs affecting individual transfer racks were 

identified. The cutoff used in subpart YY was considered 

reasonable for the OLD transfer rack control requirement, 

and, therefore, we are proposing to regulate only those 

transfer rack positions that load 11.8 million liters per 

year or more of organic liquid. 

A transfer rack may have more than one loading position 

(i.e., "parking spot") for cargo tanks. Since each loading 

position may receive liquid from a specific storage tank 

independently of the other positions, each position can be 

<^<z 
P.50 

49 

considered an individual emission source during the time 

that a cargo tank is in place and loading liquid. 

Therefore, we are applying^grogosir^g^^o^a^p^gl^ both the 

emission limit and throughput cutoff to each individual 

loading position. Under this approach, owners and operators 

will{would) have maximum flexibility in determining the _________=

 j -* 

optimum configuration for their loading activities. 

At controlled transfer racks (those equipped with a 

vapor collection -system and a control device), fugitive 

emissions may occur from leaking truck transport tanks or 

railcars through dome covers, malfunctioning pressure relief 

vents, or other potential leak sources. Thus, a requirement 

to control liquid transfer operations using a vapor 

collection system and control device could be ineffective if 

the cargo tanks leak vapors to the atmosphere during the 

loading process. For cargo tanks equipped with vapor 

collection equipment (which typically includes an integrated 

vapor valve that is opened to release vapors to the control 

system during loading), EPA Method 27 in 40 CFR part 60, 

appendix A, is specified for ensuring the tank's vapor 

tightness. Tank trucks used for gasoline distribution are 

routinely equipped for vapor collection and undergo an 

annual Method 27 test under the NESHAP regulating gasoline 

distribution. However, tank trucks in organic chemical 

-y? 
P.51 

50 

service typically are not equipped for vapor collection. 

For these tanks, Method 27 would not be applicable. 

Instead, the current DOT methods which require periodic leak 

testing of chemical tank trucks and railcars are in place 

and effective for organic liquids cargo tanks. 

E. How did we select the format of the proposed standards? 

The format selected for the proposed standards was 

developed after a comprehensive review of Federal and State 

rules affecting the same emission sources that occur in 

similar industries. Our goal was to set an overall format 

that is compatible with the applicable test methods, 

reflects the performance of the MACT technologies, and is 

consistent with the formats used in other NESHAP for similar 

HAP sources. 

The proposed standards for OLD operations consist of a 

combination of several formats: numerical emission limits 

and operating limits, equipment standards, and work practice 

standards. Section 112(h) of the CAA states that ".. . if 

it is not feasible in the judgment of the Administrator to 

prescribe or enforce an emission standard for control of a 

hazardous air pollutant or pollutants, the Administrator 

may, in lieu thereof, promulgate a design, equipment, work 

practice, or operational standard, or combination thereof 

. . ." Section 112(h) further defines the phrase "not 

5^> 
51 

feasible to prescribe or enforce an emission standard" as 

any situation in which ".. . a hazardous air pollutant or 

pollutants cannot be emitted through a conveyance designed 

and constructed to emit or capture such pollutant, .. . or 

the application of measurement methodology to a particular 

class of sources is not practicable ... " 

Numerical emission limits are feasible for storage 

tanks and transfer racks outfitted with a closed vent system 

and a control device. For these control situations, we have 

specifiedj^rorjojgc^ a percentage control efficiency for 

consistency with, the HON and the Refinery NESHAP, which 

taken together, regulate a great number of the organic 

liquids handled in OLD operations. To allow flexibility, we 

are proposing a 95 percent control efficiency limit in terms 

of either total organic HAP or TOC. For combustion devices, 

we are specifying{proposing r j } an alternate emission limit of ^ ________^«_«____= 

20 ppmv of either organic HAP or TOC. Depending on the test 

methods chosen, the owner or operator would select the most 

suitable format. The proposed 95 percent and 20 ppmv 

limits apply not to entire transfer racks but to each 

individual loading position at the racks. We felt that 

under this format, sources would have more freedom in 

choosing how to organize the transfer of affected organic 

liquids. For example, at a rack with two loading positions 

< l 
P.53 

52 

you might designate and configure one position to be an 

uncontrolled position, and another position to be a 

controlled position piped through a vapor collection system 

to a control device. You could then load affected organic 

liquids only at the controlled position but could still load 

unregulated liquids through the same rack at the 

uncontrolled position. 

Equipment and work practice standards affect each of 

the emission sources being regulated. The following 

subparagraphs describe the selection of these formats. 

Floating Roof Standard for Storage Tanks. You (would 

-

1 ^ *£_______= 

^have the option of installing floating roofs that meet the 

requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart WW, in your affected 

storage tanks. The floating roof option has been included 

in most Federal rules affecting storage tanks. Our goal was 

to be consistent with these other rules and to provide you 

with flexibility in controlling the storage tanks that 

contain affected organic liquids. 

Vapor Tightness Testing for Cargo Tanks. For the 

closed vent (vapor collection) system on transfer racks to 

be effective in conveying all of the displaced HAP vapors to 

the control device, the cargo tanks must be maintained in a 

way that minimizes leakage. There is no means available for 

collecting or measuring these leakage emissions. Therefore, 

_3^ 
53 

we have specifiedj^g^ogo^ed^ a work practice standard 

consisting of an annual vapor tightness test which involves 

pressurizing the empty tank and measuring any loss of 

pressure. The same approach is used for cargo tanks in two 

of the Federal rules that affect gasoline distribution, the 

new source performance standards (NSPS) for bulk gasoline 

terminals (40 CFR part 60, subpart XX) , and the Gasoline 

Distribution NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart R). 

Leak Detection and Repair Program for Eguipment. The 

LDAR program has been used for many years as the. principal 

means of locating leaking equipment,for repairs to maintain 

low emission rates on equipment components. In surveying 

OLD operations nationwide, we found that about 35 percent of 

the facilities are under a Federal LDAR requirement. 

Therefore, we decided that this format would be the best 

approach for the equipment requirements. Owners and 

operators would have the choice between the LDAR 

requirements in 40 CFR part 63, subpart TT or UU. 

F. How did we select the jjprojjojsed^testing and initial 

compliance requirements? 

These NESHAP propose to control three different 

emission!points: storage tanks, transfer racks, and 

equipment leaks. The control technologies and work 

practices used to control these emission points would have 

S3 
54 

different testing and initial compliance requirements. The 

methods proposed for testing and for demonstrating initial 

compliance with the proposed standards are similar to those 

in other Federal NESHAP using these same control 

technologies and work practices. The HON (40 CFR part 63, 

subpart G) prescribes EPA Method 18 or 25A for determining 

the control efficiency of a control device. We have added 

EPA Method 25 to allow additional flexibility. In addition, 

if a principal component of the inlet gas stream to the 

control device is formaldehyde, EPA Method 316 of 40 CFR 

part 63, appendix A, may be used instead of Method 18 to 

measure the formaldehyde. 

The HON also specifies EPA Method 21 for performing 

LDAR monitoring. The visual and seal gap inspections 

required^£ro^£se^d^ for determining the initial compliance of 

floating roof tanks are the methods outlined in subpart WW 

of 40 CFR part 63. The EPA Method 27 is the method 

required^grorjo^ed^ for confirming the vapor tightness of 

tank trucks and railcars equipped with vapor collection 

equipment. This is the same approach required for testing 

cargo tanks in 40 CFR part 63, subpart R, the Gasoline 

Distribution NESHAP. We have determined while developing 

other part 63 rules that these methods are appropriate for 

fulfilling the testing and initial compliance requirements 

s

2

/ 
P.56 

55 

in standards for HAP emissions. 

G. How did we select the {proposed }continuous compliance ____-_--^-----=-- ' 

requirements? 

Continuous monitoring is required by the proposed 

standards so that we can determine whether a source is in 

compliance on an ongoing basis. When determining 

appropriate monitoring options, we considered the 

availability and feasibility of a number of monitoring 

strategies. 

In evaluating the use of continuous emission monitoring 

systems (CEMS) in these proposed standards, we determined 

that monitoring of HAP compounds emitted from control 

devices is feasible and has been implemented in other rules 

at certain types of facilities. However, the cost of 

applying monitors that provide a continuous measurement in 

the units of these proposed standards would be unacceptably 

high. Similarly, we found that continuous monitoring of a 

HAP surrogate (such as TOC) would not provide an accurate 

indication of compliance with the proposed HAP emission 

limitations because of the many non-HAP organic compounds. 

Monitoring of control device operating parameters is 

considered appropriate for many other emission sources (such 

as gasoline distribution sources under 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart R) and, therefore, we have included this as the 

ss-
56 

primary monitoring approach in these proposed standards. 

Based on information from OLD sources, we selected operating 

parameters for the following types of control devices that 

are reliable indicators of control device performance: 

thermal and catalytic oxidizers, flares, adsorbers, and 

condensers. In general, we selected parameters and 

monitoring provisions that were included in both subpart R 

and the HON. Sources would monitor these parameters to 

demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limits 

and operating limits. 

The proposed NESHAP also requires monitoring for the 

storage tank work practice standards which consist of 

periodic inspections of the floating roof seals. We took 

this approach because there is no device available to 

continuously monitor the performance of the roof seals. 

You may choose an alternative to the monitoring 

required by these proposed standards. If you do, you 

Ittcre^i_____________UI_____- request approval for alternative 

monitoring according to the procedures in §63.8 of the 

General Provisions. 

H. How did we select the {proposed }notification, 

t___^^____-_-_5a_- ' 

recordkeeping, and reporting requirements? 

The required notifications and other reporting are 

based on the General Provisions in subpart A of 40 CFR part 

s&> 
P.58 

57 

63. The: initial notification and the semiannual compliance 

reports include information on organic liquids and affected 

OLD activities, and they {would }require any changes to this 

_* ^v_____'~*-'^~'""s__£_j__-

information to be reported in subsequent reports. 

Similarly, records s^^J^ouJ-d^be^ required that will enable 

an inspector to verify the facility's compliance status. 

Due to the nature of control devices that would be installed 

on OLD operations and the emissions being controlled, we 

have determined that control device parameter monitoring is 

appropriate in this circumstance. The requiredjrxro^gosjK^ 

records and reports are necessary to allow the regulatory 

authority to verify that the source is continuing to comply 

with the standards. 

IV. Summary of Environmental, Energy, and Economic Impacts 

As discussed earlier, organic liquids distribution 

activities are carried out at many different types of 

facilities. Most of these facilities can be grouped under 

three general categories: stand-alone (usually for-hire) 

storage terminals dedicated to distribution activities; OLD 

operations collocated with a petroleum refinery, chemical 

manufacturing, or other manufacturing plant site; and crude . 

oil pipeline pumping or breakout stations (containing crude 

oil tankage). 

We estimate that in 1997, the baseline year for the 

<T7 
J?.59 

58 

proposed standards, there were approximately the following 

numbers of major source OLD facilities: 480 collocated OLD 

operations, 135 stand-alone terminals, and 35 crude oil 

pipeline stations, for a total of about 650 existing major 

source OLD plant sites. 

A. What are the air quality impacts? 

On a nationwide basis, the OLD operations at facilities 

that would be affected by the proposed NESHAP emit an 

estimated 70,200 Mg/yr (77,300 tons/yr) of HAP. Most of the 

organic HAP listed in section 112(b)(1) of the CAA are 

included in these emissions. After the promulgated 

standards are implemented, HAP emissions will be reduced by 

approximately 19,700 Mg/yr (21,700 tpy), or 28 percent, from 

the baseline. Such emissions impacts are likely to reduce 

the risk of adverse effects of HAP. 

Although the proposed OLD NESHAP would not 

specifically require control of VOC emissions, the organic 

HAP emission control technologies upon which the proposed 

standards are based would also significantly reduce VOC 

emissions from the source category. We estimate that 

implementation of the promulgated NESHAP would reduce 

nationwide VOC emissions by about 33,700 Mg/yr (37,100 tpy), 

or 28 percent, from baseline levels. This will have the 

effect of reducing ozone-related health and welfare impacts. 

_S? 
P.60 

59 

B. What are the cost impacts? 

The cost of implementing the proposed standards for 

affected OLD operations would consist of the capital and 

annualized costs to control storage tanks, transfer racks, 

and equipment leaks, and the costs of complying with the 

monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. 

Approximately 1,740 storage tanks, or 23 percent of the 

7,725 tanks used in OLD operations, would need to be 

controlled (or further controlled) to meet the proposed 

control requirements. Depending on the size and 

configuration of a particular tank, the capital cost would 

vary from $4,300 to $120,000 per tank. The total capital 

cost to control all 1,740 tanks is estimated at $84.3 

million. 

Transfer rack controls would consist of installing a 

flare or other control device at approximately 200 OLD 

operations, at an estimated total capital cost of $5.4 

million. Since organic liquids cargo tanks are typically 

not equipped with vapor collection equipment, most of them 

would continue to undergo.the DOT leak tightness testing and 

not the annual EPA Method 27 testing. The total annual cost 

for performing Method 27 on the small number of equipped 

cargo tanks is estimated at about $21,700 per year. 

The establishment of an LDAR program for equipment leak 

5*\ 
P.61 

60 

control at about 430 existing operations nationwide would 

involve a capital cost of approximately $3.5 million. 

The annual cost for industry to keep records and 

prepare and send the necessary reports is estimated at about 

$12.7 million per year. 

We have estimated the total nationwide capital cost (in 

1997 dollars) of implementing the proposed rule at $94.4 

million, and the annual cost at $41.4 million per year.jWe 

C. What are the economic impacts? 

The economic impact analysis shows that the expected 

price increase for affected output would be less than 0.01 

percent as a result of the proposed standard for petroleum 

producers, pipeline operators, and petroleum bulk terminals, 

and less than 0.02 percent for chemical manufacturers. The 

expected change in production of affected output is a 

reduction of less than 0.01 percent for petroleum producers, 

pipeline operators, and petroleum bulk terminals, and less 

than 0.02 percent for chemical manufacturers. None of the 

facilities out of the 651 affected are expected to close as 

a result of incurring costs of the proposed standard. 

Therefore, it is likely that there is no adverse impact 

(PO 
61 

expected to occur for those industries that produce output 

affected by this proposed rule, such as chemical 

manufacturers, petroleum refineries, pipeline operators, and 

petroleum bulk terminal operators. 

D. What are the nonair quality health, environmental, and 

energy impacts? 

Water quality would not be significantly affected by 

implementation of the proposed standards. The proposed 

standards do not contain any requirements related to water 

discharges, wastewater collection, or spill containment, and 

no additional organic liquids are expected to enter these 

areas as a result of the proposed OLD NESHAP. A few 

facilities may select a scrubber (depending on the specific 

emissions they are controlling) to control emissions from 

transfer racks or fixed-roof storage tanks. The impact on 

water quality from the use of scrubbers is not expected to 

be significant. 

We also project that there will be no significant solid 

waste or noise impact. Neither flares, thermal oxidizers, 

scrubbers, nor condensers generate any solid waste as a byproduct of their operation. When adsorption systems are 

used, the spent activated carbon or other adsorbent that 

cannot be further regenerated may be disposed of in a 

landfill, which would contribute a small amount of solid 

A ___ 
P.63 

62 

waste. 

We have tested the noise level from control devices and 

found these levels (usually due to pumps and blowers) to be 

moderate (less than 70 decibels at 7 meters). Thus, the 

noise impact would be small. 

The control devices used for transfer rack and storage 

tank control use electric motor-driven blowers, dampers, or 

pumps, depending on the type of system, in addition to 

electronic control and monitoring systems. The installation 

of these devices would have a small negative energy impact. 

To the extent that some of the controlled organic liquids 

are non-gasoline fuels, the applied control measures would 

keep these liquids in the distribution system and thus have 

a positive impact on this form of energy. 

V. Administrative Requirements 

A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993), the EPA must determine whether the regulatory action 

is "significant" and, therefore, subject to review by the 

Office of Management and'Budget (OMB) and the requirements 

of the Executive Order. The Executive Order defines 

"significant regulatory action" as one that is likely to 

result in a rule that may: 

(1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 
63 

million !!or more or adversely affect in a material way the 

economy,: a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, 

jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, 

local, or tribal governments or communities; 

(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise 

interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs, or the 

rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of 

legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the 

principles set forth in the Executive Order. 

Pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 12866, OMB has 

notified EPA that it considers this a "significant 

regulatory action" within the meaning of the Executive 

Order. EPA has submitted this action to OMB for review. 

Changes made in response to OMB suggestions or 

recommendations will be documented in the public record. 

Any written comments from OMB and written EPA responses are 

available in the docket (see ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble;) . 

B. Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

Executive Order 13132, entitled "Federalism" (64 FR 

43255, August 10, 1999), requires the EPA to develop an 

6,3 
P.65 

64 

accountable process to ensure "meaningful and timely input 

by State and local officials in the development of 

regulatory policies that have federalism implications." 

"Policies that have federalism implications" is defined in 

the Executive Order to include regulations that 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." 

Under Section 6 of Executive Order 13132, the EPA may 

not issue a regulation 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 the EPA 

consults with State and local officials early in the process 

of developing the proposed regulation. The EPA also may not 

issue a regulation that has federalism implications and that 

preempts State law unless the EPA consults with State and 

local officials early in the process of developing the 

proposed regulation. 

This proposed rule does not have federalism 

implications. It will not have substantial direct effects 

on the States, on the relationship between the national 

(o^ 
65 

government and the States, or on the distribution of power 

and responsibilities among the various levels of government, 

as specified in Executive Order 13132. Thus, the 

requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order do not 

apply to this proposed rule. 

C. Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments 

Executive Order 13175, entitled "Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments" (65 FR 6724 9, 

November 6, 2000), requires EPA to develop an accountable 

process to ensure "meaningful and timely input by tribal 

officials in the development of regulatory policies that 

have tribal implications." "Policies that have tribal 

implications" is defined in the Executive Order to include 

regulations that have "substantial direct effects on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal 

government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the Federal government 

and Indian tribes." 

This proposed rule does not have tribal implications. 

It will not have substantial direct effects on tribal 

governments, on the relationship between the Federal 

government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the Federal government 

( ^ 
66 

and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175. 

No tribal governments are believed to own or operate an 

affected source. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply 

to this rule. In the spirit of Executive Order 13175, and 

consistent with EPA policy to promote communications between 

EPA and tribal governments, EPA specifically solicits 

additional comment on this proposed rule from tribal 

officials. 

D. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks 

Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 

applies to any rule that: (1) is determined to be 

"economically significant" as defined under Executive Order 

12866, and (2) concerns an environmental health or safety 

risk that the EPA has reason to believe may have a 

disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory 

action meets both criteria, the EPA must evaluate the 

environmental health or safety effects of the planned rule 

on children, and explain why the planned regulation is 

preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably 

feasible alternatives considered by the EPA. 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying 

only to those regulatory actions that are based on health or 

safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 

66> 
P.68 

67 

5-501 of the Executive Order has the potential to influence 

the regulation. This proposed rule is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 because it is based on technology 

performance and not on health or safety risks. No 

children's risk analysis was performed because no 

alternative technologies exist that would provide greater 

stringency at a reasonable cost. Furthermore, this proposed 

rule has been determined not to be "economically 

significant" as defined under Executive Order 12866.

F_J_. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

(UMRA), Public Law 104-4, establishes requirements for 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of their regulatory 

actions on State, local, and tribal governments and the 

private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, the EPA 

generally must prepare a written statement, including a 

cost-benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with 

"Federal mandates" that may result in expenditures by State, 

local, and tribal governments, in aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more in any 1 year. 

Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written 

statement is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally 

requires the EPA to identify and consider a reasonable 

&>°t 
P.71 

70 

number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the least 

costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative 

that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of 

section 205 do not apply when they are inconsistent with 

applicable law. Moreover, section 205 allows the EPA to 

adopt an alternative other than the least costly, most 

cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative if the 

Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation 

of why that alternative was not adopted. Before the EPA 

establishes any regulatory requirements that may 

significantly or uniquely affect small governments, 

including tribal governments, it must have developed under 

section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The 

plan must provide for notifying potentially affected small 

governments, enabling officials of affected small 

governments to have meaningful and timely input in the 

development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant 

Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, 

educating, and advising small governments on compliance with 

the regulatory requirements. 

The EPA has determined that this proposed rule does not 

contain 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 

7_? 
71 

1 year. The maximum total annual cost of this proposed rule 

for any year has been estimated to be about $41.4 million. 

Thus, today's proposed rule is not subject to the 

requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. In 

addition, the EPA has determined that this proposed rule 

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. Therefore, today's proposed rule is 

not subject to the requirements of section 203 of the UMRA. 

Fjjy_. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) as amended by the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 

(SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. 

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 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 

organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. 

For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's 

proposed rule on small entities, small entity is defined as: 

(1) a small business whose parent company has fewer than 100 

-?( 
72 

or 1,500 employees, depending on size definition for the 

affected Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) or North 

American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, or a 

maximum of $5 million to $18.5 million in revenues; (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; and (3) a small 

organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is 

independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its 

field. It should be noted that companies in 26 4-digit SIC 

codes and 42 NAICS codes are affected by this proposed rule, 

and the small business definition applied to each industry 

by SIC code or NAICS code is that listed in the Small 

Business Administration (SBA) size standards (13 CFR 121). 

For more information on size standards for particular 

industries, please refer to the economic impact analysis in 

the docket. 

After considering the economic impacts of today's 

proposed rule on small entities, I certify that this action 

will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. We have determined that only 

nineteen small firms in the industries affected by this rule 

may be affected. Out of the nineteen affected small firms, 

only two firms are estimated to have compliance costs that 

7p 
73 

exceed one percent of their revenues. The reported impacts 

on the small firms are therefore not considered to be 

significant. In addition, the rule is likely to also 

increase profits at the many small firms not affected by the 

rule due to the very slight increase in market prices. 

Finally, while there is a difference between the median 

compliance cost to sales estimates for the affected small 

and large firms (0.26 percent compared to 0.01 percent for 

the large firms), no small or large firms are expected to 

close in response to incurring the compliance costs 

associated with this rule. Therefore, the affected small 

firms are not disproportionately affected by this rule as 

compared to the affected large firms. 

It should be noted that these results are the same in 

this case regardless of how the affected industries are 

classified, either by the NAICS or by the SIC system. The 

results are the same because the small business size 

definitions applied to firms in the affected NAICS codes are 

identical to those in the corresponding SIC codes. 

Although this proposed rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, 

we nonetheless have tried to minimize the impact of this 

rule on small entities in several ways. First, we chose to 

set the control requirements at the MACT floor control level 

•73 
P.75 

74 

and not at a control level more stringent. Thus, the 

control level specified in the proposed OLD rule is the 

least stringent allowed by the CAA. Second, we have set 

facility size, transfer rack throughput, and tank size 

cutoffs in the rule to minimize the effects on small 

businesses. Third, we have identified a list of 69 HAP from 

the list of 188 in the CAA to be considered for regulation. 

Regulated liquids are organic liquids that contain at least 

5 percent by weight of the 69 HAP listed. In addition, we 

worked with various trade associations during the 

development of the proposed rule. These actions have 

reduced the economic impact on small entities from this 

rule. We continue to be interested in the potential impacts 

of the proposed rule on small entities and welcome comments 

on issues related to such impacts. 

^-j__ • Paperwork Reduction Act 

We will submit the information collection requirements 

in this rule for approval to the Office of Management and 

Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq. We have prepared an Information Collection Request 

(ICR) document (ICR No. 1963.01) and you may obtain a copy 

from Sandy Farmer, Office of Environmental Information, 

Collection Strategies Division, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (2822), 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, 

?-y 
75 

Washington, DC 20460, by e-mail at farmer.sandy@epa.gov, or 

by calling (202) 260-2740. A copy may also be downloaded 

off the internet (WWW) at http://www.epa.qov/icr. The 

information requirements are not effective until OMB 

approves them. 

The information requirements are based on notification, 

recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the NESHAP 

General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), which are 

mandatory for all operators subject to national emission 

standards. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements 

are specifically authorized by section 114 of the CAA (42 

U.S.C. 7414). All information submitted to the EPA pursuant 

to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for which a 

claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to 

EPA policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 

The proposed rule would require maintenance inspections 

of the control devices but would not require any 

notifications or reports beyond those required by the 

General Provisions. The recordkeeping requirements require 

only the specific information needed to determine 

compliance. 

The annual monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping 

burden to affected sources for this collection (averaged 

over the first 3 years after the effective date of the 

7_T 
P.77 

76 

promulgated rule) is estimated to be 242,900 labor-hours per 

year, with a total annual cost of $12.7 million per year. 

These estimates include a one-time performance test and 

report (with repeat tests where needed), one-time submission 

of an SSMP with semiannual reports for any event when the 

procedures in the plan were not followed, semiannual 

compliance reports, maintenance inspections, notifications, 

and recordkeeping. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, 

validating, and verifying information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing and providing 

information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and requirements; train 

personnel to be able to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; complete and review the 

collection of information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 

not required to respond to, a collection of information 

-7fr 
77 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. 

The OMB control numbers for the EPA's regulations are listed 

in 4 0 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. 

fiJXi- National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act 

Under section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, all 

Federal agencies are required to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS) in their regulatory and procurement 

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, business 

practices) developed or adopted by one or more voluntary 

consensus bodies. The NTTAA requires Federal agencies to 

provide Congress, throu'gh annual reports to OMB, with 

explanations when an agency does not use available and 

applicable VCS. 

Consistent with the NTTAA, the EPA conducted searches 

to identify VCS for use in emissions monitoring. This 

search is described in a memorandum which is in the docket. 

The search for emissions monitoring procedures identified 19 

VCS that appeared to have possible use in lieu of EPA 

standard reference methods. However, after reviewing the 

available VCS, the EPA determined that nine of the candidate 

-77 
P.79 

78 

VCS identified for measuring emissions of the HAP or 

surrogates subject to emission standards in the proposed 

rule would not be practical due to lack of equivalency, 

documentation, and validation data. Ten of the remaining 

candidate VCS are under development or under EPA review. 

The EPA plans to follow, review, and consider adopting these 

VCS after their development and further review by the EPA is 

completed. 

Two VCS, ASTM D2879-83, Standard Test Method for Vapor 

Pressure-Temperature Relationship and Initial Decomposition 

Temperature of Liquids by Isoteniscope; and API Publication 

2517, Evaporative Loss from External Floating-Roof Tanks, 

Third Edition, February 1989, were already incorporated by 

reference in 40 CFR 63.14 and are also being used in this 

proposed rule. 

The ASTM D6420-99 is currently under EPA review as an 

approved alternative to Method 18. The EPA will also 

compare this final ASTM standard to methods previously 

approved as alternatives to EPA Method 18 with specific 

applicability limitations. These methods, designated as 

ALT-017 and CTM-028, are available through the EPA's 

Emission Measurement Center internet site at 

www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/tmethods.html. The final ASTM D6420-99 

standard is very similar to these approved alternative 

•TS 
P.80 

79 

methods, which may be equally suitable for specific 

applications. We plan to continue our review of the final 

standard and will consider adopting the ASTM standard at a 

later date. 

The EPA is requesting comment on the compliance 

demonstration requirements being proposed in this proposed 

rule and specifically invites the public to identify 

potentially-applicable VCS. Commenters should also explain 

why this proposed rule should adopt these VCS in lieu of the 

EPA's standards. Emission test methods and performance 

specifications submitted for evaluation should be 

accompanied by a basis for the recommendation, including 

method validation data and the procedure used to validate 

the candidate method (if a method other than Method 301, 4 0 

CFR part 63, appendix A was used). 

Section 63.2406 and Table 5 of the proposed subpart 

list the EPA testing methods and performance standards 

included in the proposed rule. Most of the standards have 

been used by States and industry for more than 10 years. 

Nevertheless, under §63.7(f) of subpart A of 40 CFR part 63, 

the proposal also allows any State.or source to apply to the 

EPA for permission to use an alternative method in place of 

any of the EPA testing methods or performance standards 

listed in proposed subpart EEEE.

WHAT THIS SUBPART COVERS 

§63.2330 What is the purpose of this subpart? 

This subpart establishes national emission limitations 

and work practice standards for hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP) emitted from organic liquids distribution (OLD)(nongasoline) operations. This subpart also establishes 

requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous 

compliance with the emission limitations and work practice 

standards. 

§63.2334 Am I subject to this subpart? 

(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or 

operate an OLD operation that is located at or is part of a 

«3 
P.85 

84 

major source of hazardous air pollutant emissions. 

(b) Your OLD operation must have a total organic 

liquids throughput of 27.6 million liters (7.29 million 

gallons) per year or more either into or out of the 

operation to be subject to the control provisions of this 

subpart. Organic liquids are all crude oils other than 

black oil, and those liquids or liquid mixtures, except 

gasoline, that contain a total of 5 percent by weight or 

more of the organic HAP listed in Table 1 of this subpart. 

(1) An OLD operation is the combination of activities 

and equipment used to transfer organic liquids into or out 

of a plant site or to store organic liquids on the plant 

site. Gasoline, as well as any fuels that are consumed or 

dispensed on the plant site directly to users (such as fuels 

used for fleet refueling) are not considered organic liquids 

in this subpart. 

(2) A major source of HAP is a plant site that emits 

or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 

9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year, or any 

combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or 

more per year. 

(c) This subpart covers: 

(1) Organic liquids distribution operations that 

occupy an entire plant site; and 

m 
85 

(2) Organic liquids distribution operations that are 

collocated with other industrial (e.g., manufacturing) 

operations at the same plant site. 

§63.2338 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover? 

(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, 

or existing OLD operation affected source. 

(b)(1) The affected source is each entire OLD 

operation at a plant site in any industrial category, except 

for those emission sources that are controlled under the 

provisions of another 40 CFR part 63 national emission 

standards for hazardous air pollutants regulation. The main 

types of plant sites that either are in themselves an OLD 

operation or contain a collocated OLD operation are: 

(i) Liquid terminal facilities that distribute either 

organic liquids that they own, or organic liquids owned by 

others on a for-hire basis, or a combination of both; 

(ii) Organic chemical manufacturing facilities, 

petroleum refineries, and other industrial facilities that 

have a collocated OLD operation; and 

(iii) Crude oil pipeline pumping stations and breakout 

stations. 

(2) The following emission sources within OLD 

operations constitute the affected source: storage tanks 

storing organic liquids and meeting the tank size and liquid 

___ . 
86 

vapor pressure cutoffs in Table 2 of this subpart; transfer 

rack loading positions at which organic liquids are loaded 

into cargo tanks (tank trucks or railcars) at or above the 

minimum throughput shown in Table 2 of this subpart; and 

equipment (pumps, valves, etc.) in organic liquids service 

for at least 300 hours per year. In addition, vapor leakage 

points on cargo tanks while loading organic liquids at 

affected transfer racks are considered part of the affected 

source. 

(c) The provisions of this subpart do not apply to 

research and development facilities, consistent with section 

112(b)(7) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

(d) An affected source is a new affected source if you 

commenced construction of the affected source after [INSERT 

DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THIS PROPOSED RULE IN THE FEDERAL 

REGISTER] and you meet the applicability criteria in 

§63.2334 at the time you commenced operation. 

(e) An affected source is reconstructed if you meet 

the criteria for reconstruction as defined in §63.2. 

(f) An affected source is existing if it is not new or 

reconstructed. 

§63.2342 When do I have to comply with this subpart? 

(a) If you have a new or reconstructed - affected 

source, you must comply with this subpart according to the 

&b 
P.88 

87 

guidance in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section: 

(1) If you startup your affected source before the 

effective date of this subpart, you must comply with the . 

emission limitations and work practice standards for new and 

reconstructed sources in this subpart no later than the 

effective date of this subpart. 

(2) If you startup your affected source after the 

effective date of this subpart, you must comply with the 

emission limitations and work practice standards for new and 

reconstructed sources in this subpart upon startup of your 

affected source. 

(b) If you have an existing affected source, you must 

comply with the emission limitations and work practice 

standards for existing sources no later than [3 years after 

the effective date of the final rule]. 

(c) If you have an area source that increases its 

emissions or its potential to emit such that it becomes a 

major source of HAP, the guidance in paragraphs (c)(1) and 

(2) of this section applies: 

(1) Any portion of the existing facility that is a new 

affected source or a new reconstructed source must be in 

compliance with this subpart upon startup. 

(2)- All other parts of the source must be in 

compliance with this subpart no later than 3 years after it 

£7 
P.89 

88 

becomes a major source. 

(d) You must meet the notification requirements in 

§63.2382(a) according to the schedule in §63.2382(b), (c), 

(d), and (e) and in subpart A of this part. Some of the 

notifications must be submitted before you are required to 

comply with the emission limitations and work practice 

standards in this subpart. 

EMISSION LIMITATIONS AND WORK PRACTICE STANDARDS 

§63.2346 What emission limitations and work practice 

standards must I meet? 

(a) You must meet each emission limit in Table 2 of 

this subpart that applies to you. 

(b) You must meet each operating limit in Table 3 of 

this subpart that applies to you. 

(c) You must meet each work practice standard in Table 

4 of this subpart that applies to you. 

(d) As provided in §63.6(g), you may request approval 

from the EPA to use an alternative to the work practice 

standards in this section. If you apply for permission to 

use an alternative to the work practice standards in this 

section, you must submit the information described in 

§63.6(g) (2) . 

GENERAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS 

§63.2350 What are my general requirements for complying 

<&t 
P.90 

89 

with this subpart? 

(a) You must be in compliance with the emission 

limitations and work practice standards in this subpart at 

all times, except during periods of startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction. 

(b) You must always operate and maintain your affected 

source, including air pollution control and monitoring 

equipment, according to the provisions in §63.6(e)(1)(i). 

(c) You must develop and implement a written startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan (SSMP) according to the 

provisions in §63.6(e)(3). 

TESTING AND INITIAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS 

§63.2354 By what date must I conduct performance tests or 

other initial compliance demonstrations? 

(a) For existing sources, you must conduct initial 

performance tests and other initial compliance 

demonstrations no later than the compliance date specified 

in §63.2342(b). 

(b) For new sources, you must conduct initial 

performance tests and other initial compliance 

demonstrations according to the provisions in §63.7(a) (2) (i) 

and (ii). 

§63.2358 When must I conduct subsequent performance tests? 

(a) For cargo tanks equipped with vapor collection 

<?f 
P.91 

90 

equipment that load organic liquids at affected transfer 

rack loading positions, you must perform the vapor tightness 

testing required in Table 5 of this subpart on each cargo 

tank that you own or operate at least once per year. 

(b) For nonflare control devices, you must conduct the 

performance testing required in Table 5 of this subpart at 

any time the EPA requests you to in accordance with section 

114 of the CAA. 

§63.2362 What performance tests, design evaluations, and 

performance evaluations must I conduct? 

(a) You must conduct each performance test in Table 5 

of this subpart that applies to you. 

(b) You must conduct each performance test according 

to the requirements in §63.7(e)(1), using the procedures 

specified in §63.997(e). 

(c) You must conduct three separate test runs for each 

performance test on a nonflare control device, as specified 

in §63.7(e)(3). Each test run must last at least 1 hour. 

(d) In addition to Method 25 or 25A of 40 CFR part 60, 

appendix A, to determine compliance with the organic HAP or 

total organic compounds (TOC) emission limit, you may use 

Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A. If you use Method 

18 to measure compliance with the percentage efficiency 

limit, you must first determine which HAP are present in the 

*fo 
91 

inlet gas stream (i.e., uncontrolled emissions) using 

knowledge of the organic liquids or the screening procedure 

described in Method 18. In conducting the performance test, 

you must analyze samples collected as specified in Method 

18, simultaneously at the inlet and outlet of the control 

device. Quantify the emissions for all HAP identified as 

present in the inlet gas stream for both the inlet and 

outlet gas streams of the control device. 

(e) If you use Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix 

A, to measure compliance with the emission concentration 

limit, you must first determine which HAP are present in the 

inlet gas stream using knowledge of the organic liquids or 

the screening procedure described in Method 18. In 

conducting the performance test, analyze samples collected 

as specified in Method 18 at the outlet of the control 

device. Quantify the control device outlet emission 

concentration for the same HAP identified as present in the 

inlet or uncontrolled gas stream. 

(f) If a principal component of the uncontrolled or 

inlet gas stream to the control device is formaldehyde, you 

may use Method 316 of. appendix A of this part instead of 

Method 18 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, for measuring the 

formaldehyde. If formaldehyde is the predominant HAP in the 

inlet gas stream, you may use Method 316 alone to measure 

^t 
92 

formaldehyde either at the inlet and outlet of the control 

device using the formaldehyde control efficiency as a 

surrogate for total organic HAP or TOC efficiency, or at the 

outlet of a combustion device for determining compliance 

with the emission concentration limit. 

(g) You must conduct each design evaluation of a 

control device according to the requirements in 

§63.985(b) (1) (i). 

(h) You may not conduct performance tests during 

periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, as specified 

in §63.7(e) (1). 

(i) You must conduct each continuous monitoring system 

(CMS) performance evaluation according to the requirements 

in §63.8 (e). 

§63.2366 What are mv monitoring installation, operation, 

and maintenance requirements? 

(a) You must install, operate, and maintain each 

continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS) according to 

the requirements in §63.996. In addition, you must collect 

and analyze temperature, flow, pressure, or pH data 

according to the requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) through 

(4) of this section: 

(1) To calculate a valid hourly value, you must have 

at least four equally spaced data values (or at least two, 

7^ 
93 

if that condition is included to allow for periodic 

calibration checks) for that hour from a CMS that is not out 

of control according to the monitoring plan (e.g., one that 

incorporates elements of appendix F, procedure 1 of 40 CFR 

part 60, appendix F). 

(2) To calculate the average emissions for each 

averaging period, you must have at least 75 percent of the 

hourly averages for that period using only block hourly 

average values that are based on valid data (i.e., not from 

out-of-control periods). 

(3) Determine the hourly average of all recorded 

readings. 

(4) Record the results of each inspection, 

calibration, and validation check. 

(b) For each temperature monitoring device, you must 

meet the requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) and 

paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) of this section: 

(1) Locate the temperature sensor in a position that 

provides a representative temperature. 

(2) For a noncryogenic temperature range, use a 

temperature sensor with a minimum tolerance of 2.2 degrees 

Celsius or 0.75 percent of the temperature value, whichever 

is greater. 

(3) For a cryogenic temperature range, use a 

<?3 
P.95 

94 

temperature sensor with a minimum tolerance of 2.2 degrees 

Celsius or 2 percent of the temperature value, whichever is 

greater. 

(4) Shield the temperature sensor system from 

electromagnetic interference and chemical contaminants. 

(5) If a chart recorder is used, it must have a 

sensitivity in the minor division of at least 20 degrees 

Fahrenheit. 

(6) Perform an electronic calibration at least 

semiannually according to the procedures in the 

manufacturer's owner's manual. Following the electronic 

calibration, you must conduct a temperature sensor 

validation check in which a second or redundant temperature 

sensor placed near the process temperature sensor must yield 

a reading within 16.7 degrees Celsius of the process 

temperature sensor's reading. 

(7) Conduct calibration and validation checks any time 

the sensor exceeds the manufacturer's specified maximum 

operating temperature range, or install a new temperature 

sensor. 

(8) At least monthly, inspect all components for 

integrity and all electrical connections for continuity, 

oxidation, and galvanic corrosion. 

(c) For each flow measurement device, you must meet 

«7<V 
95 

the requirements in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) and

delivery tank that has been demonstrated to be vapor-tight. 

To be considered vapor-tight, a cargo tank equipped with 

vapor collection equipment must undergo a pressure change of 

no more than 250 pascals (1 inch of water) within 5 minutes 

after it is pressurized to 4,500 pascals (18 inches of 

water). This capability must be demonstrated annually using 

the procedures specified in Method 27 of 40 CFR part 60, 

appendix A. For all other cargo tanks, vapor tightness is 

demonstrated by performing the U.S. Department of 

Transportation pressure test procedures for tank cars and 

cargo tanks.
