I. Why is the EPA issuing a direct final 

rule? 

The EPA is publishing this direct final 

rule without a prior proposed rule 

because we view this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipate 

no adverse comment. However, in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of this 

Federal Register, we are publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposed rule to the National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers 

Production Area Sources Wastewater 

Limit Withdrawal, if adverse comments 

are received on this direct final rule. We 

will not institute a second comment 

period on this action. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time. For further information about 

commenting on this rule, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

If the EPA receives adverse 

comments, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that some or all of 

this direct final rule will not take effect. 

We would address all public comments 

in any subsequent final rule based on 

the proposed rule. 

II. Does this direct final rule apply to 

me? 

Categories and entities potentially 

regulated by this direct final rule 

include: 

Category NAICS 

code 1

Examples of 

regulated 

entities 

Polyvinyl chloride resins 

manufacturing.

325211 Facilities that polymerize vinyl 

chloride monomer to 

produce polyvinyl chloride 

and/or copolymers products. 

1 North American Industry Classification 

System. 

This table is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

regulated by this direct final rule. To 

determine whether your facility would 

be regulated by this direct final rule, 

you should examine the applicability 

criteria in 40 CFR 63.11140. If you have 

any questions regarding the 

applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult either the air 

permitting authority for the entity or 

your EPA regional representative as 

listed in 40 CFR 63.13. 

III. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

Submitting CBI. Do not submit 

information containing CBI to the EPA 

through http://www.regulations.gov or 

email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be CBI. 

For CBI information on a disk or CD– 

ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the 

outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI 

and then identify electronically within 

the disk or CD–ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comments that includes information 

claimed as CBI, you must submit a copy 

of the comments that does not contain 

the information claimed as CBI for 

inclusion in the public docket. If you 

submit a CD–ROM or disk that does not 

contain CBI, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM clearly that it does not 

contain CBI. Information not marked as 

CBI will be included in the public 

docket and the EPA’s electronic public 

docket without prior notice. Information 

marked as CBI will not be disclosed 

except in accordance with procedures 

set forth in 40 CFR part 2. Send or 

deliver information identified as CBI 

only to the following address: OAQPS 

Document Control Officer (C404–02), 

OAQPS, U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, Research Triangle Park, North 

Carolina 27711, and Attention Docket ID 

Number EPA–HQ–OAR–2002–0037. 

IV. What are the amendments made by 

this direct final rule? 

This direct final rule withdraws the 

PVC area source process wastewater 

emission standards for TOHAP for new 

and existing sources in Tables 1 and 2 

of 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDDDD. 

This rule makes no other changes to 

Tables 1 and 2, or any other aspect of 

the PVC rule. 77 FR 22848 (April 17, 

2012). The existing rule limits area 

source process wastewater TOHAP 

emissions for new and existing sources 

to 0.018 parts per million by weight for 

all resin types. 

Subsequent to the April 14, 2012, 

promulgation of the national emission 

standards for hazardous air pollutants 

(NESHAP) for PVC Area Sources, PVC 

industry stakeholders informed the EPA 

that data from a groundwater 

remediation stripper that is not part of 

the PVC Production source category had 

mistakenly been submitted to the EPA 

as PVC process wastewater data in 

response to the EPA’s 2009 Clean Air 

Act (CAA) section 114 survey. Those 

wastewater data were used to set the 

new and existing area source TOHAP 

process wastewater emission standards. 

The PVC industry stakeholders 

requested that the PVC area source 

process wastewater TOHAP emission 

standards be withdrawn from the PVC 

Area Source NESHAP since they are not 

based on data from the PVC Production 

source category. 

The EPA agrees and is taking action 

to withdraw the area source process 

wastewater TOHAP emission standards. 

Since promulgation of the April 2012 

PVC Area Source NESHAP, the EPA 

also has requested process wastewater 

data in CAA section 114 surveys from 

companies with PVC area sources and is 

presently developing a proposed rule in 

its reconsideration of certain PVC area 

source NESHAP, including the process 

wastewater TOHAP emission standards. 

Comments on this direct final rule are 

limited to issues directly associated 

with the withdrawal of the PVC Area 

Source NESHAP process wastewater 

emission standards for TOHAP in 

Tables 1 and 2 of 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart DDDDDD. Any other issues 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
5940 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

raised in comments are outside the 

scope of this rulemaking. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Additional information about these 

statutes and Executive Orders can be 

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

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action is not a significant 

regulatory action and was, therefore, not 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review. 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

This action does not impose any new 

information collection burden under the 

PRA. OMB has previously approved the 

information collection activities 

contained in the existing regulation (40 

CFR part 63, subpart DDDDDD) and has 

assigned OMB control number 2060– 

0684. This action does not change the 

information collection requirements. 

The OMB control numbers for the EPA’s 

regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

I certify that this action will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the RFA. This action will not 

impose any requirements on small 

entities. To the EPA’s knowledge, there 

are no small entities subject to the final 

rule. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain any 

unfunded mandate as described in 

UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does 

not significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. The action imposes no 

enforceable duty on any state, local or 

tribal governments or the private sector. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. It will not have substantial 

direct effects on the states, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications, as specified in Executive 

Order 13175. The final amendments 

impose no requirements on tribal 

governments. Thus, Executive Order 

13175 does not apply to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045 as applying only to those 

regulatory actions that concern 

environmental health or safety risks that 

the EPA has reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it does not concern an 

environmental health risk or safety risk. 

The EPA is developing proposed area 

source process wastewater standards in 

a reconsideration proceeding. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211 because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act 

This action does not involve any new 

technical standards. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions to Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

The EPA believes the human health or 

environmental risk addressed by this 

action will not have potential 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on minority, low-income or indigenous 

populations. An evaluation was not 

needed for this action. 

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

This action is subject to the CRA, and 

the EPA will submit a rule report to 

each House of the Congress and to the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
