II. Summary of Final Action 

The EPA finalized the Other Solid 

Waste Incinerators (OSWI); Title V 

Permitting Provisions rule which 

removed title V permitting requirements 

for air curtain incinerators that burn 

only wood waste, clean lumber, yard 

waste, or a mixture of these 3 types of 

waste on April 17, 2024. Following 

publication of this final rule, the EPA 

discovered inadvertent errors in the 

regulatory text and is correcting them in 

this action. These technical corrections 

correct the regulatory text to read as 

described in the preamble of the April 

17, 2024, final rule. 89 FR 27392 (April 

17,2024). As such, the EPA is not 

making corrections to the preamble of 

the April 17, 2024, final rule. The EPA 

finds that there is good cause for 

finalizing these technical corrections 

without public notice or hearing, as 

explained in greater detail in section IV 

of this preamble. Notice and comment 

procedures are unnecessary here 

because the public is already aware of 

this action and its contents. See 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B). 

In the Federal Register notice 

finalizing the removal of title V permit 

requirements for units that burn only 

wood waste, yard waste, clean lumber, 

or a mixture of these three types of 

waste, and which are not located at title 

V major sources or subject to title V for 

other reasons, the EPA made seven 

inadvertent errors in the amendatory 

text: three in 40 CFR part 60, subpart 

EEEE, and four in 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart FFFF. See 89 FR 27397. A 

memorandum showing these technical 

corrections to the regulatory text is 

available in the docket (Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OAR–2003–0156). 

A. Summary of Technical Corrections in 

40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE 

First, the EPA is revising 40 CFR 

60.2966, ‘‘Am I required to apply for 

and obtain a title V operating permit for 

my unit?’’, to conform with what was 

described in the April 17, 2024, final 

rule preamble. As described in that 

preamble, the owner or operator of an 

OSWI incinerator is required to apply 

for and obtain a title V operating permit 

unless the incinerator is excluded under 

40 CFR 60.2887 or unless the 

incinerator is an air curtain incinerator 

that burns only wood waste, yard waste, 

clean lumber, or a mixture of these 3 

types of waste, as long as the air curtain 

incinerator is not located at a title V 

facility or otherwise required to obtain 

a title V operating permit. 

Second, in 40 CFR 60.2967, ‘‘When 

must I submit a title V permit 

application for my new unit?’’, 

paragraphs (a) and (b) were 

inadvertently revised and paragraph (c) 

was unintentionally reserved. In this 

action, the EPA is restoring 40 CFR 

60.2967 paragraphs (a) through (c) to the 

text displayed in the electronic CFR 

(eCFR) as of April 16, 2024, and adding 

paragraph (d) reiterating that a title V 

operating permit is not needed for an air 

curtain incinerator that burns only 

wood waste, yard waste, clean lumber, 

or a mixture of these 3 types of waste 

as long as the air curtain incinerator is 

not located at a title V facility or 

otherwise required to obtain a title V 

operating permit. 

Third, 40 CFR 60.2969, ‘‘What are the 

requirements for air curtain incinerators 

used in disaster recovery?’’, was 

inadvertently removed and the section 

reserved. In this action, the EPA is 

restoring 40 CFR 60.2969 to the text 

displayed in the eCFR as of April 16, 

2024. This section exempts temporaryuse incinerators and air curtain 

incinerators used in disaster recovery 

from OSWI requirements if they meet 

the conditions set out in this provision. 

B. Summary of Technical Corrections in 

40 CFR Part 60, Subpart FFFF 

First, a typo removed a portion of the 

title of 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFFF. In 

this action, the EPA is restoring the 

entire title of 40 CFR part 60, subpart 

FFFF, ‘‘Emission Guidelines and 

Compliance Times for Other Solid 

Waste Incineration Units that 

Commenced Construction On or Before 

December 9, 2004.’’ 

Second, the EPA is revising 40 CFR 

60.3059, ‘‘Am I required to apply for 

and obtain a title V operating permit for 

my unit?’’, to conform with what was 

described in the April 17, 2024, final 

rule preamble. The requirements for 

owners and operators to obtain title V 

operating permits are discussed in more 

detail above in section II.A of this 

preamble. 

Third, 40 CFR 60.3060, ‘‘When must 

I submit a title V application for my 

existing unit?’’, was inadvertently 

removed and the section reserved. In 

this action, the EPA is restoring 40 CFR 

60.3060 paragraphs (a) through (c) to the 

text displayed in the eCFR as of April 

16, 2024, making a minor clarification 

in (a)(1) specifying the title V permit 

application deadline, and adding 

paragraph (d) reiterating that a title V 

operating permit is not needed for an air 

curtain incinerator that burns only 

wood waste, yard waste, clean lumber, 

or a mixture of these 3 types of waste 

as long as the air curtain incinerator is 

not located at a title V facility or 

otherwise required to obtain a title V 

operating permit. 

Fourth, in 40 CFR part 60, subpart 

FFFF, 40 CFR 60.3069, ‘‘Am I required 

to apply for and obtain a title V 

operating permit for my air curtain 

incinerator that burns only wood waste, 

clean lumber, and yard waste?’’, was 

inadvertently left in the regulatory text. 

In this action the EPA is removing and 

reserving 40 CFR 60.3069. 

These corrections make the regulatory 

text consistent with the description in 

the April 17, 2024, final rule preamble. 

Thus, the EPA finds good cause to make 

these corrections in this final action (see 

Section IV, Rulemaking Procedures, 

below). 

III. Summary of Cost, Environmental, 

and Economic Impacts 

This action will have no cost, 

environmental, or economic impacts 

beyond the impacts presented in the 

April 17, 2024, Other Solid Waste 

Incinerators; Title V Permitting 

Provisions final rule (89 FR 27392). 

IV. Rulemaking Procedures 

The EPA’s authority for the 

rulemaking procedures followed in this 

action is provided by the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553. In general, 

an agency issuing a rule must provide 

prior notice and an opportunity for 

public comment, but APA section 

553(b)(B) includes an exemption from 

notice-and-comment requirements 

‘‘when the agency for good cause finds 

(and incorporates the finding and a brief 

statement of reasons therefore in the 

rule issued) that notice and public 

procedure thereon are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ This action is being issued 

without prior notice or opportunity for 

public comment because the EPA finds 

that the APA ‘‘good cause’’ exemption 

from notice-and-comment requirements 

applies here. 

Following notice-and-comment 

procedures is unnecessary for this 

action. This action corrects purely 

technical errors resulting in the 

inadvertent deletion and inclusion of 

certain regulatory text that was neither 

proposed nor envisioned in the notice 

for the April 17, 2024, rule, thus 

ensuring the regulatory text comports 

with the description of the rule in the 

final rule preamble. Thus, it is critical 

to timely correct the identified errors to 

avoid confusion over the regulatory text. 

This action is effective immediately 

upon publication. Although the APA 

typically requires publication of the 

final rule to precede the effective date 

by at least 30 days unless, as relevant 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 89931 

here, the rule relieves a restriction 

(section 553(d)(1)), or the agency finds 

good cause to make the rule effective 

sooner (section 553(d)(3)). Under APA 

section 553(d)(1), an exception applies 

to a rule that ‘‘grants or recognizes an 

exemption or relieves a restriction.’’ Part 

of this rule reinstates 40 CFR 60.2969, 

which provides for exemptions from 

OSWI requirements for temporary-use 

incinerators and air curtain incinerators 

used in disaster recovery. A secondary 

good cause basis for immediate 

effectiveness exists under APA section 

553(d)(3). The additional corrections 

and clarifications under this action are 

both necessary and beneficial to 

regulated entities in understanding and 

complying with the final rule’s 

requirements. Further, because the rule 

does not impose any new regulatory 

requirements, the regulated community 

does not need time to prepare for the 

rule to come into effect. See Omnipoint 

Corp. v. Fed. Commc’n Comm’n, 78 

F.3d 620, 630 (D.C. Cir. 1996) (in 

determining whether good cause exists 

to make a rule immediately effective, an 

agency should ‘‘balance the necessity 

for immediate implementation against 

principles of fundamental fairness 

which require that all affected persons 

be afforded a reasonable amount of time 

to prepare for the effective date of its 

ruling’’). 

Good cause exists for this rule to be 

made immediately effective. The EPA 

has balanced the necessity for 

immediate implementation against the 

benefits of delaying implementation. 

Because this rule makes technical 

corrections to a rule that has already 

been promulgated, the public is aware 

of the content of the rule. Making these 

technical corrections effective 

immediately would make the regulatory 

text consistent with what the proposed 

rule and the preamble to the final rule 

have described.

as a new source. 

(b) If your new unit subject to this 

subpart is subject to title V as a result 

of some triggering requirement(s) other 

than this subpart (for example, a unit 

subject to this subpart may be a major 

source or part of a major source), then 

your unit may be required to apply for 

a title V permit prior to the deadlines 

specified in paragraph (a) of this 

section. If more than one requirement 

triggers a source’s obligation to apply for 

a title V permit, the 12-month timeframe 

for filing a title V permit application is 

triggered by the requirement that first 

causes the source to be subject to title 

V. (See section 503(c) of the Clean Air 

Act and 40 CFR 70.3(a) and (b), 40 CFR 

70.5(a)(1)(i), 40 CFR 71.3(a) and (b), and 

40 CFR 71.5(a)(1)(i).) 

(c) A ‘‘complete’’ title V permit 

application is one that has been 

determined or deemed complete by the 

relevant permitting authority under 

section 503(d) of the Clean Air Act and 

40 CFR 70.5(a)(2) or 40 CFR 71.5(a)(2). 

You must submit a complete permit 

application by the relevant application 

deadline in order to operate after this 

date in compliance with Federal law. 

(See sections 503(d) and 502(a) of the 

Clean Air Act and 40 CFR 70.7(b) and 

40 CFR 71.7(b).) 

(d) If you own or operate an air 

curtain incinerator that burns only 

wood waste; clean lumber; yard waste; 

or a mixture of wood waste, clean 

lumber, and/or yard waste and that is 

subject only to the requirements in 

§§ 60.2970 through 60.2973, you are 

exempt from the obligation to obtain a 

title V operating permit, provided that 

your air curtain incinerator is not 

otherwise required to obtain a title V 

operating permit. 

■ 4. Add § 60.2969 to read as follows: 

§ 60.2969 What are the requirements for 

temporary-use incinerators and air curtain 

incinerators used in disaster recovery? 

Your incinerator or air curtain 

incinerator is excluded from the 

requirements of this subpart if it is used 

on a temporary basis to combust debris 

from a disaster or emergency such as a 

tornado, hurricane, flood, ice storm, 

high winds, or act of bioterrorism. To 

qualify for this exclusion, the 

incinerator or air curtain incinerator 

must be used to combust debris in an 

area declared a State of Emergency by a 

local or State government, or the 

President, under the authority of the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
89932 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

Stafford Act, has declared that an 

emergency or a major disaster exists in 

the area, and you must follow the 

requirements specified in paragraphs (a) 

through (c) of this section. 

(a) If the incinerator or air curtain 

incinerator is used during a period that 

begins on the date the unit started 

operation and lasts 8 weeks or less 

within the boundaries of the same 

emergency or disaster declaration area, 

then it is excluded from the 

requirements of this subpart. You do not 

need to notify the Administrator of its 

use or meet the emission limitations or 

other requirements of this subpart. 

(b) If the incinerator or air curtain 

incinerator will be used during a period 

that begins on the date the unit started 

operation and lasts more than 8 weeks 

within the boundaries of the same 

emergency or disaster declaration area, 

you must notify the Administrator that 

the temporary-use incinerator or air 

curtain incinerator will be used for more 

than 8 weeks and request permission to 

continue to operate the unit as specified 

in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this 

section. 

(1) The notification must be submitted 

in writing by the date 8 weeks after you 

start operation of the temporary-use 

incinerator or air curtain incinerator 

within the boundaries of the current 

emergency or disaster declaration area. 

(2) The notification must contain the 

date the incinerator or air curtain 

incinerator started operation within the 

boundaries of the current emergency or 

disaster declaration area, identification 

of the disaster or emergency for which 

the incinerator or air curtain incinerator 

is being used, a description of the types 

of materials being burned in the 

incinerator or air curtain incinerator, a 

brief description of the size and design 

of the unit (for example, an air curtain 

incinerator or a modular starved-air 

incinerator), the reasons the incinerator 

or air curtain incinerator must be 

operated for more than 8 weeks, and the 

amount of time for which you request 

permission to operate including the date 

you expect to cease operation of the 

unit. 

(c) If you submitted the notification 

containing the information in paragraph 

(b)(2) of this section, by the date 

specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this 

section, you may continue to operate the 

incinerator or air curtain incinerator for 

another 8 weeks, which is a total of 16 

weeks from the date the unit started 

operation within the boundaries of the 

current emergency or disaster 

declaration area. You do not have to 

meet the emission limitations or other 

requirements of this subpart during this 

period. 

(1) At the end of 16 weeks from the 

date the incinerator or air curtain 

incinerator started operation within the 

boundaries of the current emergency or 

disaster declaration area, you must 

cease operation of the unit or comply 

with all requirements of this subpart, 

unless the Administrator has approved 

in writing your request to continue 

operation. 

(2) If the Administrator has approved 

in writing your request to continue 

operation, then you may continue to 

operate the incinerator or air curtain 

incinerator within the boundaries of the 

current emergency or disaster 

declaration area until the date specified 

in the approval, and you do not need to 

comply with any other requirements of 

this subpart during the approved time 

period.

and Compliance Times for Other Solid 

Waste Incineration Units That 

Commenced Construction On or 

Before December 9, 2004 

■ 5. Revise the heading of Subpart FFFF 

to read as set forth above. 

■ 6. Revise § 60.3059 to read as follows: 

§ 60.3059 Am I required to apply for and 

obtain a title V operating permit for my 

unit? 

(a) Yes, if your OSWI unit is an 

existing incineration unit subject to an 

applicable EPA-approved and effective 

Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129 State 

or Tribal plan or an applicable and 

effective Federal plan, you are required 

to apply for and obtain a title V 

operating permit unless you meet the 

relevant requirements for an exemption 

specified in § 60.2993, or unless your 

unit is an air curtain incinerator exempt 

under paragraph (b) of this section. 

(b) If you own or operate an air 

curtain incinerator that burns only 

wood waste; clean lumber; yard waste; 

or a mixture of wood waste, clean 

lumber, and/or yard waste and is subject 

only to the requirements in §§ 60.3062 

through 60.3068, you are exempt from 

the obligation to obtain a title V 

operating permit, provided that your air 

curtain incinerator is not otherwise 

required to obtain a title V operating 

permit. 

■ 7. Add § 60.3060 to read as follows: 

§ 60.3060 When must I submit a title V 

permit application for my existing unit? 

(a)(1) If your existing unit is not 

subject to an earlier title V permit 

application deadline, a complete title V 

permit application must be submitted 

on or before the earlier of the dates 

specified in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through 

(iii) of this section. (See sections 129(e), 

503(c), 503(d), and 502(a) of the Clean 

Air Act and 40 CFR 70.5(a)(1)(i) and 40 

CFR 71.5(a)(1)(i).) 

(i) 12 months after the effective date 

of any applicable EPA-approved Clean 

Air Act section 111(d)/129 State or 

Tribal plan. 

(ii) 12 months after the effective date 

of any applicable Federal plan. 

(iii) December 16, 2008. 

(2) For any existing unit not subject to 

an earlier permit application deadline, 

the application deadline of 36 months 

after the promulgation of 40 CFR part 

60, subpart FFFF, applies regardless of 

whether or when any applicable Federal 

plan is effective, or whether or when 

any applicable Clean Air Act section 

111(d)/129 State or Tribal plan is 

approved by EPA and becomes effective. 

(b) If your existing unit is subject to 

title V as a result of some triggering 

requirement(s) other than those 

specified in paragraph (a) of this section 

(for example, a unit may be a major 

source or part of a major source), then 

your unit may be required to apply for 

a title V permit prior to the deadlines 

specified in paragraph (a) of this 

section. If more than one requirement 

triggers a source’s obligation to apply for 

a title V permit, the 12-month timeframe 

for filing a title V permit application is 

triggered by the requirement which first 

causes the source to be subject to title 

V. (See section 503(c) of the Clean Air 

Act and 40 CFR 70.3(a) and (b), 40 CFR 

70.5(a)(1)(i), 40 CFR 71.3(a) and (b), and

curtain incinerator that burns only 

wood waste; clean lumber; yard waste; 

or a mixture of wood waste, clean 

lumber, and/or yard waste and is subject 

only to the requirements in §§ 60.3062 

through 60.3068, you are exempt from 

the obligation to obtain a title V 

operating permit, provided that your air 

curtain incinerator is not otherwise 

required to obtain a title V operating 

permit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Discussion of Public Comments 

III. Discussion of Final Supplementary Rule 

IV. Procedural Matters 

V. Final Supplementary Rule 

I. Background 

The BLM is establishing this 

supplementary rule under the authority 

of 43 CFR 8365.1–6, which authorizes 

BLM state directors to establish 

supplementary rules for the protection 

of persons, property, and public lands 

and resources. 

CANM is part of the BLM’s National 

Conservation Lands system and consists 

of approximately 174,881 acres of BLMadministered public lands. The 

monument is located in Dolores and 

Montezuma counties in the Four 

Corners region of southwestern 

Colorado. President Clinton established 

CANM on June 9, 2000, by Presidential 

Proclamation Number 7317, pursuant to 

the Antiquities Act of 1906 (34 Stat. 

225, 54 U.S.C. 320301), to preserve the 

cultural and natural objects of the 

Monument. Prior to the issuance of 

Proclamation 7317, CANM was 

managed as the Anasazi Culture 

Multiple Use Area of Critical 

Environmental Concern, established 

through the 1985 San Juan-San Miguel 

RMP Record of Decision (ROD). 

The BLM developed the CANM RMP 

with extensive input from the public, 

Tribes, and elected officials through 

scoping, opportunities for public 

comment, and advisory committee 

meetings. 

The BLM signed the CANM RMP and 

ROD in June 2010, replacing portions of 

the San Juan-San Miguel RMP/ROD and 

incorporating management direction 

from the Presidential Proclamation 

establishing CANM. The CANM RMP 

identifies specific management actions 

that restrict certain activities and define 

allowable uses within CANM. This final 

supplementary rule will facilitate the 

implementation and enforcement of 

those management actions. 

This final supplementary rule 

implements management decisions in 

the CANM RMP related to recreational 

sporting activities, camping, travel 

management, and collecting geological 

and biological materials. Within the 

Sand Canyon-Rock Creek Special 

Recreation Management Area (SRMA), 

activities such as hiking, mountain 

biking, and horseback riding and 

packing will be allowed only on 

designated travel routes, as provided in 

the CANM RMP. 

II. Discussion of Public Comments 

The BLM published a proposed 

supplementary rule on April 6, 2023 (88 

FR 20449), and received 116 comment 

submissions during the 60-day public 

comment period. Three commenters 

expressed support for the 

supplementary rule. 

One comment submitted by 112 

individuals through a form email 

expressed opposition to the proposed 

rule prohibiting camping within 300 

feet of riparian areas and indicated that 

the BLM should instead implement a 

100-foot buffer between campsites and 

riparian areas. The 300-foot restriction 

is set forth in the RMP and cannot be 

changed without a plan amendment. 

The prohibition on camping within 300 

feet of springs, seeps, or streams affects 

approximately 2,785 acres (roughly 1.6 

percent of the monument) within 

CANM. Most of the acreage is not 

conducive to camping and has few 

established campsites. The areas most 

impacted are in lower Yellowjacket 

Creek and McElmo Creek, where some 

roads are close to streams. The 

definition of riparian area has been 

refined to match the definition in the 

RMP, and the final rule has been 

updated to clarify areas where the rule 

applies. The definition in the proposed 

rule was too broad and did not properly 

identify the area where the rule will 

apply. 

A second comment in the form email 

expressed the view that the BLM should 

create additional routes and remove 

wilderness study areas (WSAs). 

Designating new routes is beyond the 

scope of this supplementary rulemaking 

process, which is focused solely on 

implementing existing decisions that 

the BLM has already analyzed in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). 

Designated routes identified in the 

CANM transportation management plan 

(TMP) are intended to avoid sensitive 

cultural resources and other resource 

concerns. Removal of WSAs identified 

under section 603 of the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) 

would require Congress to release them 

from WSA status. 

One individual commented that the 

NEPA process was flawed and the RMP 

was deficient in providing a range of 

alternatives. The commenter outlined 

several recommendations for producing 

alternatives. The commenter also 

expressed the view that WSAs should 

be removed and that camping 

restrictions, geocaching, and gathering 

of pine nuts should be analyzed. This 

supplementary rule is not a planning 

document but implements decisions 

already analyzed through the CANM 

RMP planning process. Compliance 

with NEPA is documented in Section 

IV. Procedural Matters, later in this 

preamble. The restriction on camping, 

geocaching, and pine nut collecting is
