SUMMARY: This document announces 

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 

Permit (Permit) issued to CF&I Steel, 

L.P. dba EVRAZ Rocky Mountain Steel 

(ERMS or EVRAZ). 

Pursuant to sections 307(b) and

judicial review of those portions of the 

Order that deny issues in the Petition 

may be filed in the United States Court

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.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Regulation 

(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. 

Once an authorized program has EPA’s 

approval to accept electronic documents 

under certain programs, CROMERR 

§ 3.1000(a)(4) requires that the program 

keep EPA apprised of any changes to 

laws, policies, or the electronic 

document receiving systems that have 

the potential to affect the program’s 

compliance with CROMERR § 3.2000. 

On August 19, 2011, the Delaware 

Department of Natural Resources and 

Environmental Control (DE DNREC) 

submitted an amended application 

titled ‘‘Online Reporting System 

Electronic Document Receiving System’’ 

for revision of its EPA-approved 

electronic reporting program under its 

title 40 CFR part 52 authorized program 

to allow new electronic reporting. EPA 

reviewed DE DNREC’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 

3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision 

to approve Delaware’s request to revise 

its Part 52—Approval and Promulgation 

of Implementation Plans authorized 

program to allow electronic reporting of 

permits for minor sources under 40 CFR 

parts 51, is being published in the 

Federal Register. DE DNREC was 

notified of EPA’s determination to 

approve its application with respect to 

this authorized program.
