SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords the EPA a 45-day period to 

review and object to, as appropriate, 

operating permits proposed by state 

permitting authorities under title V of 

the CAA. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA 

authorizes any person to petition the 

EPA Administrator to object to a title V 

operating permit within 60 days after 

the expiration of the EPA’s 45-day 

review period if the EPA has not 

objected on its own initiative. 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 unless 

the grounds for the issue arose after this 

period. 

The EPA received the Petition from 

the Environmental Integrity Project, Port 

Arthur Community Action Network, 

Lone Star Legal Aid, and the Lone Star 

Chapter of the Sierra Club dated October 

28, 2020, requesting that the EPA object 

to the issuance of operating permit no. 

O1493, issued by TCEQ to Oxbow 

Calcining in Jefferson County, Texas. 

The Petition claims the proposed permit 

fails to include monitoring and 

recordkeeping provisions sufficient to 

ensure compliance with Sulfur Dioxide 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

and fails to establish monitoring, 

testing, and recordkeeping provisions 

that assure compliance with Lead and 

Volatile Organic Compound limits from 

kiln stacks 2, 3, 4, and 5 in NSR Permit 

No. 45622. 

On June 14, 2022, the EPA 

Administrator issued an Order granting 

in part and denying in part the Petition. 

The Order explains the basis for the 

EPA’s decision.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to title V operating permit.

proposed modification to a Clean Air 

Act (CAA) title V operating permit 

issued to U.S. Steel Seamless Tubular 

Operations for its Fairfield Works Pipe

County, Alabama. The Order responds 

to a June 7, 2021, petition requesting

permitting action was a significant 

modification issued by the Jefferson 

County Department of Health (JCDH).

the petition addressed therein. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Order, the 

petition, and all pertinent information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and, as appropriate, the authority to 

object to operating permits proposed by 

state permitting authorities under title V 

of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f. 

Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40 

CFR 70.8(d) authorize any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator to object 

to a title V operating permit within 60 

days after the expiration of the EPA’s 

45-day review period if EPA has not 

objected on its own initiative. Petitions 

must be based only on objections to the 

permit that were raised with reasonable 

specificity during the public comment 

period provided by the permitting 

authority, 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. Pursuant to 

sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the 

CAA, a petition for judicial review of 

those parts of the Order that deny issues 

in the petition may be filed in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit within 60 days from 

the date this notice is published in the 

Federal Register. 

Petitioner submitted a petition 

requesting that EPA object to the CAA 

title V operating permit no. 4–07–0371– 

09 issued by JCDH to the Fairfield 

Works Pipe Mill. Petitioner claims: the 

public did not have a meaningful 

opportunity to comment on the 

applicability of major and minor new 

source review (NSR); the Permittee 

violated the state implementation plan 

by failing to commence construction of 

the electric arc furnace (EAF) within 24

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 13, 2022 / Notices 41713 

months of JCDH’s approval and, thus, 

required a new construction permit; 

JCDH failed to issue an NSR permit for 

the EAF both initially and after the 

failure to timely commence 

construction; and the permit failed to 

assure compliance with a valid NSR 

permit that should have been issued by 

JCDH. 

On June 16, 2022, the Administrator 

issued an Order denying the petition. 

The Order explains EPA’s bases for 

denying the petition.
