ACTION: Notice of final action.

that the EPA Administrator has 

responded to a citizen petition asking 

EPA to object to an operating permit 

issued by the Colorado Department of 

Public Health and Environment 

(CDPHE). Specifically, the 

Administrator has denied in part and 

granted in part the March 24, 2011, 

Petition (Petition), submitted under title 

V of the Clean Air Act (Act) by 

WildEarth Guardians (Petitioner), to 

object to CDPHE’s December 28, 2010

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and object to, as appropriate, a title V 

operating permit proposed by State 

permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the Act authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator, within 

60 days after the expiration of this 

review period, to object to a title V 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

Petitions must be based only on 

objections to the permit that were raised 

with reasonable specificity during the 

public comment period provided by the 

State, unless the petitioner demonstrates 

that it was impracticable to raise these 

issues during the comment period or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. EPA received a petition from 

WildEarth Guardians dated March 24, 

2011, requesting that EPA object to the 

issuance of the Permit to EVRAZ for 

steelmaking operations located in 

Pueblo, Colorado. The Petition alleges 

that the Permit fails to ensure 

compliance with applicable 

requirements under the Act in that: (I) 

The Permit fails to assure compliance 

with the electric arc furnace regulations 

under 40 CFR 63.10680 et seq.; (II) the 

Permit fails to ensure that EVRAZ does 

not cause or contribute to a violation of 

the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS); (III) the Permit 

fails to include stipulated penalties from 

an underlying Consent Decree; and (IV) 

the permitting authority failed to 

adequately address environmental 

justice impacts. 

On May 31, 2012, the Administrator 

issued an Order granting in part and 

denying in part the Petition. The Order 

explains the reasons behind EPA’s 

conclusions. 

Dated: June 12, 2012. 

Judith Wong, 

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 8.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On August 10, 2010, the Illinois 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(ILEPA) submitted an amended 

application titled ‘‘Electronic Annual 

Emissions Report Electronic Document 

Receiving System’’ for revision of its 

EPA-authorized Part 52 program under 

title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed ILEPA’s 

request to revise its EPA-authorized 

program and, based on this review, EPA 

determined that the application met the 

standards for approval of authorized 

program revisions set out in 40 CFR part 

3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR
