What This Subpart Covers

§ 63.210 What is the purpose of this

subpart?

This subpart establishes national

emission standards for hazardous air

pollutants (NESHAP) for polyvinyl

chloride (PVC) and copolymers

production.

§ 63.211 Am I subject to this subpart?

(a) You are subject to this subpart if

you own or operate a PVC plant, as

defined in 40 CFR 61.61(c) that is a

major source of hazardous air pollutants

(HAP) emissions or that is located at, or

is part of, a major source of HAP

emissions.

(b) You are a major source of HAP

emissions if you own or operate a plant

site that emits or has the potential to

emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons

(9.07 megagrams) or more per year or

any combination of HAP at a rate of 25

tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per

year.

§ 63.212 What parts of my facility does this

subpart cover?

(a) This subpart applies to each new

or existing affected source at PVC and

copolymer production operations.

(b) The affected source subject to this

subpart is the collection of all

equipment and activities necessary to

produce PVC and copolymers. This

subpart applies to the PVC and

copolymers production operations that

meet the applicability criteria at 40 CFR

61.60(a)(3).

(c) An affected source does not

include portions of your PVC and

copolymers production operations that

meet the criteria at 40 CFR 61.60(b) or

(c) .

(d) An affected source is a new

affected source if you commenced

construction or reconstruction of the

affected source after December 8, 2000.

(e) An affected source is existing if it

is not new.

§ 63.213 When do I have to comply with

this subpart?

(a) If you have a new affected source,

you must comply with this subpart

according to paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of

this section:

(1) If you startup your affected source

before [the effective date of this

subpart], then you must comply with

the standards 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],

then you must comply with the

standards in this subpart upon startup

of your affected source.

(b) If you have an existing affected

source, you must be in compliance with

the standards in this subpart by [the

effective date of this subpart].

(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 and an affected source subject

to this subpart, paragraphs (c)(1) and (2)

of this section apply.

(1) An area source that meets the

criteria of a new affected source as

specified at § 63.212(d) must be in

compliance with this subpart upon

becoming a major source.

(2) An area source that meets the

criteria of an existing affected source as

specified at § 63.212(e) must be in

compliance with this subpart upon

becoming a major source.

Standards and Compliance

Requirements

§ 63.214 What are the requirements I must

comply with?

You must meet all the requirements in

40 CFR part 61, subpart F, as they

pertain to processes that manufacture

National Oil and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency

Plan; National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed deletion of the

University of Minnesota Rosemount

Research Center Superfund Site (Site)

from the National Priorities List (NPL).

76966 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 237 / Friday, December 8, 2000 / Proposed Rules

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to delete

the releases from the University of

Minnesota Rosemount Research Center

Superfund site (Site) from the NPL and

requests public comment on this action.

The NPL constitutes appendix B to Part

300 of the National and Hazardous

Substances Pollution Contingency Plan

(NCP), which EPA promulgated

pursuant to Section 105 of the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended. EPA

has determined that the Site currently

poses no significant threat to public

health or the environment, as defined by

CERCLA, and therefore, further

remedial measures under CERCLA are

not appropriate. We are publishing this

proposed rule without prior notification

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision and

anticipates no dissenting comments. A

detailed rationale for this approval is set

forth in the direct final rule. If no

dissenting comments are received, the

deletion will become effective. If EPA

receives dissenting comments, the direct

final action will be withdrawn and all

public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. EPA will

not institute a second comment period.

Any parties interested in commenting

should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments concerning this

Action must be received by January 8,

2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Project Manager, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (SR–6J), 77 W.

COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 80

[PR Docket No. 92–257; RM–9664; FCC 00–

Maritime Communications

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rules.

SUMMARY: In this document, the

Commission proposes to amend the

rules governing Automated Maritime

Telecommunications Systems (AMTS)

and high seas public coast stations. The

Commission proposes, among other

things, to designate licensing regions

and authorize one licensee for each

currently unassigned AMTS frequency

block on a geographic basis; to allow

partitioning and disaggregation for

AMTS geographic licensees,

disaggregation for site-based AMTS

licensees, and partitioning for most high

seas public coast station licensees; and

to establish competitive bidding

procedures to resolve mutually

exclusive applications for AMTS and

high seas public coast spectrum. These

proposed rules should increase the

number and types of communications

services available to the maritime

community.

DATES: Comments are due February 6,

2001, Reply Comments are due March 8,

2001.

ADDRESSES: Parties who choose to file

comments by paper must file an original

and four copies to the Commission’s

Secretary, Magalie Roman Salas, Office

of the Secretary, Federal

Communications Commission, 445 12th

St., SW., Room TW–A325, Washington,

DC 20554. Comments may also be filed

using the Commission’s Electronic

Filing System, which can be accessed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. The Commission’s Third Notice of

Proposed Rule Making (3rd NPRM), PR

Docket No. 92–257, FCC 00–370,

on November 16, 2000. The full text of

Summary of the 3rd NPRM

2. The Commission proposes a

transition from the site-based licensing

approach to geographic area licensing

because such an approach would speed

assignment of subsequent AMTS

licenses, reduce processing burdens on

the Commission, facilitate the

expansion of existing AMTS systems

and the development of new AMTS

systems, eliminate inefficiencies arising

from the intricate web of relationships

created by site-specific authorization,

and enhance regulatory symmetry.

3. The Commission seeks comment on

whether the use of band manager

licensing may be an appropriate

alternative method of accomplishing the

objectives that it strives to achieve

through its partitioning and

disaggregation rules. Band managers

would be a class of Commission

licensee that would engage in the

business of making spectrum available

for use by others through private,

written contracts.

4. The Commission seeks comment, in

light of its continuing commitment to

take measures to ensure that the current

and future communications needs of the

public safety community are addressed,

on whether it should take any steps to

facilitate use of AMTS spectrum by

public safety entities, including setting

aside some channels for public safety

use.

5. The Commission proposes to

modify the requirement that AMTS

stations must serve a waterway because

it is inconsistent with geographic

licensing and could prevent service

from being offered in some licensing

areas. Therefore, the Commission seeks

comment on its proposal that stations

may be placed anywhere within a

licensee’s service area so long as

marine-originating traffic is given

priority and incumbent operations are

protected. It also seeks comment on its
