National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- 
and Oil-Fired Electric Steam Generating Units

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 15511]]


ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On November 19, 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) proposed amending certain reporting requirements in the National 
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil-Fired 
Electric Steam Generating Units (Mercury and Air Toxics Standards 
(MATS)) rule. This final rule amends the reporting requirements in the 
MATS rule by temporarily requiring owners or operators of affected 
sources to submit certain required emissions and compliance reports to 
the EPA through the Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System 
(ECMPS) Client Tool, and the rule temporarily suspends the requirement 
for owners or operators of affected sources to submit certain reports 
using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI).

DATES: This final rule is effective on March 24, 2015.

    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a 
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by this 
final rule. To determine whether your facility would be regulated by 
this final rule, you should examine the applicability criteria in 40 
CFR 63.9981. 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 are the amendments made by this final rule?

    This final rule amends the reporting requirements in 40 CFR 
63.10031(f) of the MATS rule at 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUUU. The 
final MATS rule required affected sources to submit certain MATS 
emissions and compliance information electronically, using either the 
CEDRI or the ECMPS Client Tool. The EPA developed these two systems 
prior to the MATS rule for the electronic submittal of emissions data 
from many source categories. CEDRI is currently used by owners or 
operators of sources regulated under 40 CFR part 60 and 40 CFR part 63 
to submit performance test reports and other air emissions reports. 
ECMPS is used to report emissions data under the Clean Air Act title IV 
Acid Rain Program and other programs that are required to continuously 
monitor and report emissions according to 40 CFR part 75. These two 
systems have enhanced the way source owners and operators report 
emissions data to the EPA by providing a streamlined and standardized 
electronic approach.
    Subsequent to publication of the MATS rule, stakeholders commented 
that we could improve the reporting efficiency of the MATS rule by 
requiring

[[Page 15512]]

all data to be reported to one system instead of two. Stakeholders also 
commented that one system could benefit the EPA and the public in the 
review of data submitted by setting one consistent format for all data 
reported through MATS. Further, because the vast majority of sources 
covered under the MATS rule have been using the ECMPS Client Tool since 
2009, the stakeholders have encouraged the EPA to consider 
consolidating the electronic reporting under ECMPS.
    We agree that requiring reporting to one system will increase the 
efficiency of reporting and facilitate review of reported data. For 
these reasons, the agency is beginning the process of consolidating the 
submission of electronic reports required under the MATS rule to one 
system--the ECMPS Client Tool. This final rule is the first step in the 
process. The next step is for the EPA to create a detailed set of 
reporting instructions and design, develop, beta-test and implement the 
necessary modifications to the ECMPS Client Tool; however, the EPA 
cannot complete the second step prior to April 16, 2015, the compliance 
deadline for the MATS rule. Therefore, we are implementing a phased 
approach to completing the change in the electronic reporting 
requirements.
    This final rulemaking completes the first step in the agency's plan 
by removing the requirement to submit MATS compliance reports to CEDRI 
and requiring source owners or operators to use the ECMPS Client Tool 
to submit Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of the reports that 
the current MATS rule requires to be submitted using CEDRI. As stated 
above, this interim step is necessary because the ECMPS Client Tool is 
not currently programmed to accept the reports that the MATS rule 
required sources to submit to CEDRI. The specific reports that must be 
submitted in PDF format include: Quarterly and annual performance stack 
test reports; 30- (or 90-) boiler operating day mercury (Hg) Low 
Emitting EGU (Electric Generating Unit) (LEE) test reports; Relative 
Accuracy Test Audits (RATA) reports for sulfur dioxide, hydrogen 
chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and Hg monitors; Relative Calibration 
Audit (RCA) and Relative Response Audit (RRA) reports for particulate 
matter (PM) continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS); 30-boiler 
operating day rolling average reports for PM CEMS, PM continuous 
parameter monitoring system (CPMS), and approved hazardous air 
pollutants (HAP) metals CEMS; and semiannual compliance reports. 
Reports for the performance stack tests, Hg LEE tests, RATAs, RRAs and 
RCAs typically include a description of the source, the test date(s), a 
list of attendees, a test protocol, a summary of results, raw field 
data, and example calculations, and, depending on the method(s) used, 
may also include the results of sample analyses, quality-assurance 
information (e.g., leak, bias and drift checks), and instrument 
calibrations and calibration gas certificates. This final rule does not 
alter the due dates for any report submittals contained in the final 
MATS rule. See 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUUU.
    The EPA recognized that submitting electronic PDF reports is not as 
desirable as reporting the data in extensible markup language (XML) 
format, because the information in a PDF report cannot easily be 
extracted and put in a database format. In view of this, we plan to 
promulgate an additional data reporting revision to the MATS rule in 
the second part of our phased approach. In this second part, we plan to 
develop another rulemaking that requires affected source owners or 
operators to submit the data elements required in the rule in a 
structured XML format using the ECMPS Client Tool, which is already in 
use. The second part of our phased approach will complete the process 
of conversion of the electronic reporting of data using the ECMPS 
Client Tool, and the MATS rule will be revised to specify all of the 
required XML data elements for each type of report. We also plan to 
develop a detailed set of reporting instructions for each report and to 
modify ECMPS accordingly, in order to be able to receive and process 
the data submitted.
    In the event we are unable to finalize the rulemaking for the 
second part of our phased approach for electronic reporting conversion 
by April 16, 2017, the reporting requirements established in this final 
rule will revert automatically to the original requirements set forth 
in the final MATS rulemaking published on February 16, 2012 (77 FR 
9303). This trigger is necessary to ensure that the data submitted in 
the future is consistent with the database accessibility that is 
associated with information reported in structured XML formats even if 
the second rulemaking cannot be finalized. Accordingly, this rulemaking 
includes a date of April 16, 2017, to complete the second part of our 
phased approach for electronic reporting conversion to the ECMPS Client 
Tool. The EPA intends to revoke this requirement once the final 
conversion to the ECMPS Client Tool is complete.

IV. Public Comments and Responses

    The direct final and parallel proposed rules received comments from 
nine persons--two members of the public, one state government 
representative, four EGU owners or operators and two EGU industry 
representatives.

A. Support for the Proposed Approach

    Most commenters expressed support for the planned two phased 
approach for merging the electronic reporting systems, as well as the 
revisions to allow temporary submission of MATS rule emissions and 
compliance reports through the ECMPS Client Tool and suspension of 
mandatory submission of certain reports using the CEDRI. Commenters 
recognized the benefits afforded by the proposed approach, noting that 
through the use of the transition period, the agency will be able to 
obtain the necessary information to assure compliance while 
simultaneously developing final reporting formats and infrastructure 
for XML reporting. Commenters agree that consolidating all reporting 
requirements through one system will streamline and simplify 
requirements, making reporting more efficient and user-friendly, 
improve the quality of reported emissions data and enable the agency to 
track compliance effectively. We reviewed and considered these comments 
and are finalizing the proposed rule, with minor revisions, to 
implement the first part of our phased approach to merge all MATS rule 
electronic reporting into the ECMPS Client Tool.

B. Opposition to the Proposed Approach

    One commenter, a state government representative, opposed the 
provisions of the proposed rule on two grounds: (1) The commenter 
alleges the rule did not contain a requirement for EGU owners or 
operators to submit full stack test reports; and (2) the commenter 
indicates that it is improper to include a temporary suspension of the 
requirement to use the electronic reporting tool (ERT) in preparing and 
submitting stack test reports electronically.
    With regard to the first item, the EPA maintains that the proposed 
rule did include a requirement to submit complete performance test 
reports during the interim period. In the proposed rule, the EPA stated 
that stack test reports were required to be submitted during the 
transition period: ``. . . (t)he specific reports that must be 
submitted in PDF format include: Quarterly and annual performance stack 
test reports . . .'' and ``. . . (r)eports for

[[Page 15513]]

the performance stack tests . . . typically include a description of 
the source, the test date(s), a list of attendees, a test protocol, a 
summary of results, raw field data, and example calculations, and, 
depending on the method(s) used, may also include the results of sample 
analyses, quality-assurance information (e.g., bias and drift checks), 
instrument calibrations, and calibration gas certificates . . .'' (79 
FR 68797). Other commenters agreed with the EPA's view of the 
requirements while some believed that the requirement to submit the 
test reports was only triggered upon request by the permitting 
authority. To address any ambiguity on this issue, we are revising the 
proposed rule and expressly requiring submission of emissions test 
reports in the final rule.
    With regard to the second item, we agree with the state 
representative who commented that ``. . . (s)ubmittal of stack test 
reports using ERT will allow (regulatory agencies) to independently 
verify emissions calculations without having to re-enter data into 
separate spreadsheets for re-calculation. ERT does the calculations and 
can include all raw field and laboratory data as attachments . . . .'' 
These are among the reasons we mandated use of the ERT in both the 
Information Collection Request and the MATS rule. Moreover, we agree 
with the state representative that the ``. . . ERT can generate a full 
PDF report that could be submitted to ECMPS with minimal effort . . . 
.'' Indeed, we maintain that using the ``one-touch'' ERT feature to 
create PDF versions of ERT-developed reports is the easiest way to meet 
the interim electronic reporting requirements. However, at the present 
time, the ERT does not support every MATS rule-related test method, 
quality assurance approach or performance specification (PS), e.g., RCA 
or RRA for PM CEMS and PS-11 for PM CEMS. Moreover, despite the 
efficiency and ease of using the ``one-touch'' capability of the ERT 
for the majority of MATS rule related test methods, quality assurance 
approaches or PS, the ERT is not the sole means of developing PDF 
versions of required reports. We considered requiring EGU owners or 
operators to use the ERT's PDF creation feature for those reports that 
can be developed through the current version of the ERT, but decided 
against it for concerns that mandated use of two separate systems 
during the interim period could be inefficient. While we believe many 
EGU owners or operators will choose to use the ERT's cost-effective PDF 
creation approach when possible, the rule does not require its use.

C. Other Comments

    Even though comments on the proposed rule were to be limited to 
issues directly associated with the electronic reporting changes 
covered in 40 CFR 63.10031, commenters provided other comments. One 
industry representative sought assurance that under the interim rule, 
EGU owners or operators could use self-generated forms that included 
relevant information per the aforementioned preamble language (79 CFR 
68797), going on to assert that the only formatting specification is 
that the reports be submitted in PDF format. The industry 
representative expressed support for the proposed rule if those 
assertions were correct. Commenters are correct, provided the necessary 
information is included in a reasonable manner to allow review in the 
electronic PDF versions of the reports.
    Industry commenters also opposed the proposed rule to the extent it 
required EGU owners or operators to use the ERT or CEDRI forms to 
create the reports that will be submitted in PDF format, believing that 
the rule revision would not provide any relief if their understanding 
were correct. While we disagree with the commenters' views that using 
the ERT or CEDRI to create PDF versions of reports or forms would not 
provide relief, the rule neither requires nor prohibits during the 
interim period preparation or submission of PDF reports or forms using 
the ERT or CEDRI. We also note that the current versions of the ERT or 
CEDRI do support notice of compliance (NOC) status reporting and the 
majority of MATS rule-related test methods, quality assurance 
approaches and PS, including all associated requisite calculations and 
validations. For this reason, the commenters' concerns are misplaced.
    Industry commenters also commented that some in the regulated 
community might be confused over the reporting requirements and 
misinterpret the provisions such that only PDF versions of ERT or CEDRI 
generated reports or forms would be allowed for submission during the 
interim period. Both commenters suggested we provide guidance, or, if 
necessary, additional rule language after the first sentence of 40 CFR 
63.10031(f)(6), to clarify the role of the ERT and CEDRI for data 
submittal during the interim reporting phase. We considered these 
comments and decided that such guidance or rule language is 
unnecessary, as the ERT is not required to be used during the interim 
period. With regard to reporting requirements during the transition 
period, as mentioned earlier, the use of the CEDRI to submit reports to 
our WebFIRE database will be suspended, the information that would have 
been reported through the CEDRI must be submitted to the ECMPS in PDF 
format and the deadline for submitting reports remains unchanged. We 
will make the necessary adjustments to the ECMPS to enable the PDF 
reports to be submitted. Note that submission of a PDF version of a 
test report during this interim period is sufficient, provided that the 
test report contains sufficient information to assess compliance and to 
determine whether the testing has been done properly.
    One commenter expressed concern with using the ERT and CEDRI in the 
interim period because, in his view, those platforms are not capable of 
accepting certain MATS reports, such as NOC status reports and 30-
boiler operating day averages from PM CEMS. Moreover, the commenter 
believes using the ERT would be inefficient because, in his view, it 
was not designed to handle MATS rule data, such as those from PS-11, 
RCAs and RRAs. Finally, the commenter believes the usefulness of ERT 
collected data is limited because, in his view, the ERT neither 
performs the requisite calculations for quality assurance tests nor 
validates test results in accordance with method acceptance criteria. 
As stated above, the rule neither requires nor prohibits during the 
interim period preparation or submission of PDF reports or forms using 
the ERT or CEDRI. We also note that the current versions of the ERT or 
CEDRI do support NOC status reporting and the majority of MATS rule 
related test methods, quality assurance approaches and PS, including 
all associated requisite calculations and validations. While not a part 
of this rulemaking, we soon expect the ERT will be able to handle all 
of the remaining MATS rule related test methods, quality assurance 
approaches and PS, which will be important if the agency does not 
complete the revisions to the ECMPS. In addition, we expect the ECMPS 
Client Tool to be revised to accept all MATS rule related electronic 
reporting during the second part of our phased approach such that the 
ECMPS will be the sole means for providing MATS reports electronically.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

[[Page 15514]]

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 regulations and has assigned OMB 
control number 2060-0567. The agency believes this action does not 
impose an information collection burden because it does not change the 
information collection requirements.

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. This 
amendment does not create any new requirements or burdens, and no costs 
are associated with this amendment. See 79 FR 68795 at 68798 (November 
19, 2014).

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or 
more 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 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.

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 (NTTAA)

    This action does not involve 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. This action does not affect the level of 
protection provided to human health or the environment. The final 
amendments are either clarifications or alternate, temporary reporting 
instructions which will neither increase nor decrease environmental 
protection.

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).

in paragraphs (f) introductory text and (f)(1) through (4) of this 
section must be sent to the Administrator at the appropriate address 
listed in Sec.  63.13. If acceptable to both the Administrator and the

Client Tool. Each PDF version of a submitted report must include 
sufficient information to assess compliance and to demonstrate that the 
testing was done properly. The following data elements must be entered 
into the ECMPS Client Tool at the time of submission of each PDF file:
    (i) The facility name, physical address, mailing address (if 
different from the physical address), and county;
    (ii) The ORIS code (or equivalent ID number assigned by EPA's Clean 
Air Markets Division (CAMD)) and the Facility Registry System (FRS) ID;
    (iii) The EGU (or EGUs) to which the report applies. Report the EGU 
IDs as they appear in the CAMD Business System;
    (iv) If any of the EGUs in paragraph (f)(6)(iii) of this section 
share a common stack, indicate which EGUs share the stack. If emissions 
data are monitored and reported at the common stack according to part 
75 of this chapter, report the ID number of the common stack as it is 
represented in the electronic monitoring plan required under Sec.  
75.53 of this chapter;
    (v) If any of the EGUs described in paragraph (f)(6)(iii) of this 
section are in an averaging plan under Sec.  63.10009, indicate which 
EGUs are in the plan and whether it is a 30- or 90-day averaging plan;
    (vi) The identification of each emission point to which the report 
applies. An ``emission point'' is a point at which source effluent is 
released to the atmosphere, and is either a dedicated stack that serves 
one of the EGUs identified in paragraph (f)(6)(iii) of this section or 
a common stack that serves two or more of those EGUs. To identify an 
emission point, associate it with the EGU or stack ID in the CAMD 
Business system or the electronic monitoring plan (e.g., ``Unit 2 
stack,'' ``common stack CS001,'' or ``multiple stack MS001'');
    (vii) The rule citation (e.g., Sec.  63.10031(f)(1), Sec.  
63.10031(f)(2), etc.) for which the report is showing compliance;
    (viii) The pollutant(s) being addressed in the report;
    (ix) The reporting period being covered by the report (if 
applicable);
    (x) The relevant test method that was performed for a performance 
test (if applicable);
    (xi) The date the performance test was conducted (if applicable); 
and
    (xii) The responsible official's name, title, and phone number.
