I. Background and Purpose 

On January 8, 2020, the New 

Hampshire Department of 

Environmental Services (NH DES) 

submitted a revision of New Hampshire 

Code of Administrative Rules Chapter 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
22822 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

Env-A 1000 (Prevention, Abatement, 

and Control of Open Source Air 

Pollution) to EPA for approval into the 

New Hampshire SIP. NH DES withdrew 

the January 8, 2020, submission of EnvA 1000 to the SIP on July 19, 2021. On 

August 19, 2021, NH DES submitted 

another revision of Env-A 1000 to EPA 

for approval into the New Hampshire 

SIP. This regulation establishes 

requirements for open burning, fugitive 

dust and firefighter instruction and 

training activities. NH DES submitted 

this revision to replace the current SIPapproved Env-A 1000 (83 FR 6972; 

February 16, 2018), which expired at the 

State level on May 1, 2019. The 

submittal also includes Appendices A 

and B, which provide references and 

definitions that are included in Env-A 

1000. 

On January 8, 2020, NH DES 

submitted a revision of New Hampshire 

Code of Administrative Rules Chapter 

Env-A 2800 (Sand and Gravel Sources; 

Non-Metallic Mineral Processing Plants; 

Cement and Concrete Sources) to EPA 

for approval into the New Hampshire 

SIP. Env-A 2800 sets standards for 

visible emissions (VE) and particulate 

matter (PM) emissions. It also sets 

fugitive-dust requirements for sand and 

gravel sources, non-metallic mineral 

processing plants, and cement and 

concrete sources. NH DES submitted 

this revision to replace the current SIPapproved version of Env-A 2800 (81 FR 

78052; October 1, 2010), which expired 

at the State level on October 1, 2018. 

The submittal also includes Appendix 

A, which provides a list of referenced 

State statutes and Federal regulations. 

After reviewing New Hampshire’s SIP 

submittals, EPA has concluded that the 

revisions to Env-A 1000 and to Env-A 

2800 clarify and strengthen the current 

SIP-approved regulations and therefore 

EPA is proposing to approve these 

revised regulations into the New 

Hampshire SIP. EPA is soliciting public 

comments on the issues discussed in 

this notice or on other relevant matters. 

These comments will be considered 

before taking final action. Interested 

parties may participate in the Federal 

rulemaking procedure by submitting 

written comments to this proposed rule 

by following the instructions listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this Federal 

Register. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation of New 

Hampshire’s SIP Revisions 

Env-A 1000 

Env-A 1000 (Prevention, Abatement, 

and Control of Open Source Air 

Pollution) establishes requirements for 

open burning, fugitive dust and 

firefighter instruction and training 

activities. The proposed revisions to this 

rule, submitted to EPA on August 19, 

2021, include clarifications and updates 

to certain provisions. The submittal also 

includes Appendices A and B, which 

provide references and definitions of 

terms used in Env-A 1000. The main 

proposed changes in the regulation and 

EPA’s evaluation of these changes, are 

as follows. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 1001 authorizes open burning of 

untreated wood, campfire wood, brush, 

or charcoal in a campfire, outdoor grill, 

or outdoor fireplace for recreational 

purposes or for the preparation of food. 

The proposed revision to Env-A 1001 

adds open burning of untreated pallets 

to this list. It also adds untreated pallets 

to the list of materials (untreated wood, 

campfire wood, or brush) that may be 

used as fuel for bonfires in conjunction 

with holiday or festive celebrations. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 1001 allows burning of brush or 

leaves by a landowner of a private, 

residential property, provided the 

material originates ‘‘on-site.’’ The 

proposed revision to Env-A 1001 

clarifies that originating ‘‘on-site’’ may 

include material that originates on 

another residential property but does 

not include material transported to the 

burning location for commercial 

purposes or by a commercial entity or 

its employees. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 1002 includes an exemption for 

leaf blowers from fugitive-dust 

regulations. The proposed revision to 

Env-A 1002 expands the exemption to 

include compressed air, but adds the 

limitation that, for commercial 

properties and public ways, this 

equipment can only be used for the 

purpose of blowing leaves and 

vegetation, and cannot be used to blow 

dirt, sand, or gravel except as incidental 

and necessary when blowing leaves and 

vegetation. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 1002 includes precautions to 

prevent, abate, and control fugitive dust. 

The proposed version of Env-A 1002 

retains the previous precautions and 

adds two additional allowed measures: 

(1) The construction of wind barriers to 

material stockpiles; and (2) construction 

of wind barriers and phasing of work to 

reduce disturbed surface area for 

sandblasting or similar operations. 

EPA concludes that the proposed 

revisions to Env-A 1000 strengthen and 

clarify this regulation, and we agree that 

the addition of Appendices A and B 

provides relevant references and 

definitions for implementing Env-A 

1000. Therefore, EPA is proposing to 

approve the submitted revision of EnvA 1000 into the New Hampshire SIP. 

Env-A 2800 

On January 8, 2020, NH DES 

submitted a revision of New Hampshire 

Code of Administrative Rules Chapter 

Env-A 2800 (Sand and Gravel Sources; 

Non-Metallic Mineral Processing Plants; 

Cement and Concrete Sources) to EPA 

for approval into the New Hampshire 

SIP. Env-A 2800 sets standards for 

visible emissions (VE) and particulate 

matter (PM) emissions. It also sets 

fugitive-dust requirements for sand and 

gravel sources, non-metallic mineral 

processing plants, and cement and 

concrete sources. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 2802 includes definitions of 

terms used in this regulation. The 

proposed revision to Env-A 2802 retains 

these definitions and adds the terms 

‘‘Electronic means’’ and ‘‘Submit in 

writing’’ to the list of defined terms. 

These added terms bring the regulation 

up to date with the electronic reporting 

systems used by NH DES and EPA. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 2803 sets Compliance Testing 

Requirements for Non-Metallic Mineral 

Processing Plants. The proposed 

revision to Env-A 2803 retains the 

visible fugitive emissions or visible 

stack emissions standard of an average 

of 20 percent opacity for these plants, as 

determined by Env-A 807, for any 

continuous 6-minute period at crushers, 

transfer points, or screens. The 

proposed revision updates, but does not 

substantially change, the requirements 

for conducting compliance tests at 

affected facilities. As before, a 

successful compliance test must be 

conducted on the affected facility or 

specific affected equipment in 

accordance with 40 CFR 60.675 within 

60 days of achieving the maximum 

production rate at which the affected 

facility or affected equipment will be 

operated or 180 days after startup, 

whichever is sooner. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 2804 sets a VE standard for 

cement, ready mix concrete, and cement 

block sources. The proposed revision to 

Env-A 2804 retains the visible fugitive 

emissions or visible stack emissions 

standard of an average of 20 percent 

opacity for these sources, as determined 

by Env-A 807, for any continuous 6- 

minute period. EPA agrees that an 

average of 20 percent opacity is a 

reasonable VE limitation and concurs 

with retaining the standard. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 2805 establishes requirements for 

fugitive dust control for all sources and 

plants subject to this regulation. The 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 74 / Monday, April 18, 2022 / Proposed Rules 22823 

proposed revision to Env-A 2805 retains 

these requirements without 

modification. EPA considers New 

Hampshire’s fugitive dust control 

requirements to be reasonable and 

concurs with retaining the standard. 

The current SIP-approved version of 

Env-A 2806 establishes Permit-ByNotification (PBN) procedures for nonmetallic mineral processing plants. The 

proposed revision to Env-A 2806 

updates these procedures to allow 

owners or operators to notify NH DES 

within 10 days after initial startup of an 

affected facility by electronic means as 

well as traditional hardcopy delivery 

methods. 

EPA concurs with New Hampshire 

that the proposed revisions to Env-A 

1000 and Env-A 2800 serve to 

strengthen and clarify these regulations 

and is, therefore, proposing to approve 

these revised regulations into the New 

Hampshire SIP. Furthermore, EPA 

agrees that the addition of Appendix A 

provides relevant references for 

implementing Env-A 2800. Therefore, 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

submitted revision of Env-A 2800 into 

the New Hampshire SIP. 

III. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve, and 

incorporate into the New Hampshire 

SIP, Env-A 1000 and Env-A 2800, which 

were submitted by the State of New 

Hampshire on August 19, 2021, and on 

January 8, 2020, respectively. 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

the issues discussed in this proposal or 

on other relevant matters. These 

comments will be considered before 

EPA takes final action. Interested parties 

may participate in the Federal 

rulemaking procedure by submitting 

comments to this proposed rule by 

following the instructions listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this Federal 

Register. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In accordance with requirements of 1 

CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to 

incorporate by reference into the New 

Hampshire SIP two New Hampshire 

Code of Administrative Rules: Env-A 

1000 (Prevention, Abatement, and 

Control of Open Source Air Pollution), 

effective August 1, 2019, and Env-A 

2800 (Sand and Gravel Sources; NonMetallic Mineral Processing Plants; 

Cement and Concrete Sources), effective 

December 20, 2018. 

The EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available electronically through https:// 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

state choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

Accordingly, this proposed 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 proposed 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); 

• 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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where 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).

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this proposed rule, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is providing an opportunity for 

comment on a proposed analysis of the 

lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) 

emissions associated with certain 

biofuels that are produced from canola/ 

rapeseed oil. This assessment considers 

diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, naphtha, and 

liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) produced 

from canola/rapeseed oil via a 

hydrotreating process, and proposes to 

find that these pathways would meet 

the lifecycle GHG emissions reduction 

threshold of 50 percent required for 

advanced biofuels and biomass-based 

diesel under the Renewable Fuel 

Standard (RFS) program. Based on these 

analyses, EPA is proposing to approve 

these fuel pathways, making them 

eligible to generate Renewable 

Identification Numbers (RINs), provided 

they satisfy the other definitional and 

RIN generation criteria for renewable 

fuel specified in the RFS regulations.
