Approval and Promulgation of State 

Plans for Designated Facilities and 

Pollutants; Colorado; Control of 

Emissions From Existing Commercial 

and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration 

Units 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d)/129 

plan (the ‘‘plan’’) submitted by the 

Colorado Department of Public Health 

and Environment (CDPHE) on July 14, 

2017. The plan would allow for the 

implementation of emissions guidelines 

for existing commercial and industrial 

solid waste incineration (CISWI) units 

within the jurisdiction of the State of 

Colorado. The plan creates new 

enforceable emissions limits and 

operating procedures for existing CISWI 

units within the State of Colorado in 

accordance with the requirements 

established by the revised CISWI new 

source performance standards (NSPS) 

and emission guidelines (EG), 

promulgated by the EPA on March 21, 

2011, with subsequent final 

amendments to the rule promulgated on 

February 7, 2013. This proposed plan 

approval rulemaking is being taken in 

accordance with the requirements of 

sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA and 

the relevant parts and subparts of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before February 7, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

What should I consider as I prepare my 

comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting Confidential Business 

Information (CBI). Do not submit CBI to 

the EPA through http://

www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information on a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to the EPA, mark the outside 

of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register volume, date, and page 

number); 

• Follow directions and organize your 

comments; 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

• Suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes; 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used; 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced; 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives; 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats; and,

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Background Information 

Sections 111 and 129 of the CAA 

outline the EPA’s statutory authority for 

regulating new and existing solid waste 

incineration units. Section 111(b) 

directs the EPA Administrator to 

publish and periodically revise a list of 

source categories which significantly 

cause or contribute to air pollution. This 

subsection also directs the 

Administrator to establish federal 

standards of performance for new 

sources within these categories. Section 

111(d) grants the EPA statutory 

authority to require states to submit to 

the agency implementation plans for 

establishing performance standards 

applicable to existing sources belonging 

to those categories established in section 

111(b). Section 129 specifically 

addresses solid waste combustion and 

requires that the EPA regulate new and 

existing waste incineration units 

pursuant to section 111 of the Act, 

including the requirement that a state in 

which existing designated facilities 

operate submit for approval a state plan 

for each category of regulated waste 

incineration units. Section 129(b)(3) 

requires the EPA to promulgate a federal 

plan for existing waste incineration 

units of any designated category located 


jstallworth on DSKBBY8HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2018 / Proposed Rules 769 

in any state which has not submitted an 

approvable 111(d)/129 state plan for 

said category of waste incineration unit. 

Such federal plans remain in effect until 

the state in question submits a new or 

revised state plan and subsequently 

receives approval and promulgation of 

the plan under 40 CFR part 62. 

State plan submittals under CAA 

sections 111(d) and 129 must be 

consistent with the relevant new or 

revised EG. Section 129(a)(1)(D) of the 

Act requires the EPA to develop and 

periodically revise operating standards 

for new and existing CISWI units. The 

NSPS and EG for CISWI units were 

promulgated on December 1, 2000, at 40 

CFR part 60, subparts CCCC and DDDD, 

respectively. Revisions to the CISWI 

NSPS and EG were subsequently 

promulgated by the EPA on March 21, 

2011 (76 FR 15704), with final actions 

on reconsideration of the rule published 

on February 7, 2013 (78 FR 9112), and 

June 23, 2016 (81 FR 40956). State plan 

requirements specific to CISWI units, 

along with a model rule to ease 

adoption of the EG, are found in subpart 

DDDD, while more general state plan 

requirements are found in 40 CFR part 

60, subpart B, and part 62, subpart A. 

The guidelines found in subpart DDDD 

require that states impose emission 

limits on designated facilities for those 

pollutants regulated under section 129, 

including: Dioxins/furans, carbon 

monoxide, metals (cadmium, lead and 

mercury), hydrogen chloride, sulfur 

dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, opacity and 

particulate matter. The EG also requires 

state plans include essential elements 

pursuant to section 129 requirements, 

including: Monitoring, operator training 

and facility permitting requirements. 

On July 14, 2017, the CDPHE 

submitted to the EPA a new section 

111(d)/129 state plan for existing CISWI 

units in the State of Colorado. The 

current state plan is a negative 

declaration letter certifying the absence 

of any known designated facilities 

regulated under the CISWI rule. The 

negative declaration was approved and 

promulgated by the EPA on September 

17, 2003 (68 FR 54373), at 40 CFR part 

62, subpart G. Since the revision of the 

CISWI rule, the State of Colorado has 

identified at least one operational 

designated facility which would be 

regulated under the revised rule, and 

has submitted a new state plan, 

summarized in the following section, to 

comply with CAA section 111/129 

requirements. 

III. Summary of Colorado’s Section 

111(d)/129 Plan for Existing CISWI 

Units 

The EPA has completed a review of 

the new Colorado section 111(d)/129 

plan submittal in the context of the 

requirements of 40 CFR part 60, 

subparts B and DDDD, and part 62, 

subpart A. The EPA has determined that 

the plan submittal meets the 

requirements found in the above-cited 

subparts. Accordingly, the EPA 

proposes to approve the submitted state 

plan. The EPA’s proposed approval 

action is limited to the new CISWI state 

plan and the subpart DDDD ‘‘Model 

Rule’’ addressing CISWI units as they 

are incorporated by the State of 

Colorado in the Code of Colorado 

Regulations (CCR) at 5 CCR 1001–8 

Regulation No. 6, part A, subpart DDDD. 

A detailed summary of the submittal’s 

compliance with the requirements 

found in the CFR is available in the 

technical support document (TSD) 

associated with this rulemaking action. 

The TSD will be available in the docket 

for this rulemaking action and may be 

found at the www.regulations.gov 

website. 

IV. Proposed Action 

The EPA is proposing approval of the 

Colorado 111(d)/129 state plan for 

existing CISWI units because the plan 

requirements are at least as stringent as 

the requirements for existing CISWI 

units found in 40 CFR part 60, subpart 

DDDD. The state plan was submitted 

pursuant to 40 CFR part 60, subparts 

DDDD and B, and part 62, subpart A. 

Accordingly, the EPA proposes to 

amend 40 CFR part 62, subpart G to 

reflect the acceptability of the state plan 

submittal. This proposed approval is 

limited to the provisions of 40 CFR parts 

60 and 62 for existing CISWI units, as 

found in the emission guidelines of Part 

60, subpart DDDD. The EPA 

Administrator will retain the authorities 

listed under §§ 60.2542 and 60.2030(c). 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Review 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a section 111(d)/129 

plan submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

federal regulations at 40 CFR 62.04. 

Thus, in reviewing section 111(d)/129 

plan submissions, the EPA’s role is to 

approve state choices, provided that 

they meet the criteria of the CAA. 

Accordingly, this action merely 

approves state law as meeting federal 

requirements and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For that reason, 

this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• Is not expected to be an Executive 

Order 13771 regulatory action because 

this action is not significant under 

Executive Order 12866; 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and, 

• Is not subject to Executive Order 

12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) 

because it does not establish an 

environmental health or safety standard. 

In addition, this proposed rule is not 

approved to apply on any Indian 

reservation land or in any other area 

where the EPA or an Indian tribe has 

demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

The FNPRM seeks comment on 

proposed rule amendments that may 

result in modified information 

collection requirements. If the 

Commission adopts any modified 

information collection requirements, the 

Commission will publish another notice 

in the Federal Register inviting the 

public to comment on the requirements, 

as required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act. Public Law 104–13; 44 U.S.C. 

3501–3520. In addition, pursuant to the 

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 

2002, the Commission seeks comment 

on how it might further reduce the 

information collection burden for small 

business concerns with fewer than 25 

employees. Public Law 107–198, 116 

Stat. 729; 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). 

Synopsis 

1. The Commission takes another 

important step in combatting illegal 

robocalls by enabling voice service 

providers to block certain calls before 

they reach consumers’ phones. In the 

Report and Order portion of the 

document, the Commission adopts rules 

allowing voice service providers to 

block calls from phone numbers on a 

Do-Not-Originate (DNO) list and those 

that purport to be from invalid, 

unallocated, or unused numbers. Voice 

service providers have been active in 

identifying these calls and there is broad 

support for these rules. In the FNPRM 

portion of the document, the 

Commission seeks comment on two 

discrete issues related to the rules. 

2. The Commission seeks comment on 

two discrete issues related to the rules 

adopted in the Report and Order portion 

of document FCC 17–151. First, the 

Commission seeks comment on
