SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this Notice apply to me? 

This action is directed to the general 

public. However, this action may be of 

particular interest to parties who submit 

or have previously submitted a small 

refinery exemption petition to the EPA 

under the Renewable Fuel Standard 

(RFS) program as described in 40 CFR 

part 80, subpart M. If you have further 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular party, please 

contact the person listed in FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

II. How can I get copies of this 

document and other related 

information? 

A. Electronically 

The EPA has established a public 

docket for this Federal Register notice 

under Docket EPA–HQ–OAR–2012– 

0546. 

All documents in the docket are 

identified in the docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, such as 

confidential business information (CBI) 

or other information for which 

disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain materials, such as copyrighted 

material, will only be available in hard 

copy at the EPA Docket Center. 

B. EPA Docket Center 

Materials listed under Docket EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2012–0546 will be available 

either electronically through http://

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at 

the Air and Radiation Docket and 

Information Center, EPA/DC, EPA West, 

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20460. The EPA 

Docket Center Public Reading Room is 

open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, and 

the telephone number for the Air Docket 

is (202) 566–1742. 

III. Description of Program and 

Potential Disclosure of Information 

Claimed as CBI to Contractors 

The RFS program as established by 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and 

amended by the Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007 exempted 

small refineries from the renewable fuel 

standards through December 31, 2010. 

After this initial period, the statute 

allows that small refineries may, on a 

case-by-case basis, petition the EPA for 

an extension of their exemption. The 

EPA may approve such petitions if it 

finds that disproportionate economic 

hardship exists. The EPA continues to 

implement these provisions. In 

evaluating such petitions, the EPA must 

consult with the Department of Energy 

(DOE), and must consider the findings 

of the DOE study required under CAA 

211(o)(9)(A)(ii)(I) and other economic 

factors. Historically, companies seeking 

a small refinery exemption have 

claimed their petitions to be CBI. 

Information submitted under such a 

claim is handled in accordance with the 

EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR part 2, 

subpart B and in accordance with EPA 

procedures, including comprehensive 

system security plans (SSPs) that are 

consistent with those regulations. When 

the EPA has determined that disclosure 

of information claimed as CBI to 

contractors is necessary, the 

corresponding contract must address the 

appropriate use and handling of the 

information by the contractor and the 

contractor must require its personnel 

who require access to information 

claimed as CBI to sign written nondisclosure agreements before they are 

granted access to data. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 2.301(h), 

we have determined that the contractor 

listed below requires access to CBI 

submitted to the EPA under the Clean 

Air Act and in connection with the RFS 

program (40 CFR part 80, subpart M). 

We are issuing this Federal Register 

notice to inform all affected submitters 

of information that we plan to grant 

access to material that may be claimed 

as CBI to the contractors identified 

below on a need-to-know basis. 

Under DOE Contract Number 5F– 

32501, Stillwater Associates, 3 Rainstar, 

Irvine, California 92614, has provided 

and will continue to provide technical 

support that involves access to 

information claimed as CBI related to 40 

CFR part 80, subpart M. Access to data, 

including information claimed as CBI, 

will commence immediately upon 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register and will continue indefinitely 

as the Agency expects to receive 

additional petitions for small refinery 

exemptions for future annual program 

compliance periods. If the contract is 

extended, this access will continue for 

the remainder of the contract without 

further notice. 

Parties who wish further information 

about this Federal Register notice or 

about OTAQ’s disclosure of information 

claimed as CBI to contactors may 

contact the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
