A. Does this proposed rule apply to me? 

Categories and entities potentially 

regulated by this proposed rule include: 

Category NAICS 

Code 1

Portland cement manufacturing 

facilities ..................................... 327310 

1 North American Industry Classification 

System. 

This table is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

regulated by this proposed rule. To 

determine whether your facility is 

affected, you should examine the 

applicability criteria in the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 

63.1340. If you have questions regarding 

the applicability of any aspect 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. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

On June 23, 2017, the EPA published 

a direct final rule that provided a 

compliance alternative for sources that 

would otherwise be required to use a 

HCl continuous emissions monitoring 

system (CEMS) to demonstrate 

compliance with the HCl emissions 

limit (82 FR 28562). At the same time, 

we published a parallel proposal in 

which we proposed to make the same 

amendment to the NESHAP. The EPA 

indicated that it would withdraw the 

direct final rule if it received adverse 

comment. The EPA received adverse 

comment on that direct final rule, but 

was not able to timely withdraw the 

rule. In this proposal, the EPA is reproposing and providing additional 

opportunity for public comment on the 

same amendment to the NESHAP that 

was proposed on June 23, 2017. 

Simultaneously with this proposal, the 

EPA is taking final action to withdraw 

the June 23, 2017, direct final rule. 

Comments received on the June 23, 

2017, direct final rule and/or parallel 

proposal will be deemed to be 

submitted on this proposal, unless the 

commenter withdraws the original 

comment. 

For comments on this proposal, do 

not submit information containing 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 comments that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comments 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. Send or deliver 

information identified as CBI only to the 

following address: OAQPS Document 

Control Officer (C404–02), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 

27711, Attention Docket ID No. EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2016–0442. 

II. What are the amendments made by 

this proposed rule? 

On July 25, 2016, the EPA published 

an alternative monitoring method for 

sources that would otherwise be 

required to use an HCl CEMS to 

demonstrate compliance with the 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants From the 

Portland Cement Manufacturing 

Industry (81 FR 48356). The alternative 

was provided for a period of 1 year. The 

alternative monitoring method allowed 

sources to demonstrate compliance by 

using CEMS readouts as a parameter 

monitor to indicate relative changes 

from the observed CEMS HCl reading. 

Specifically, the alternative required 

installation of an HCl CEMS to provide 

a continuous readout of HCl emissions. 

However, actual compliance with the 

HCl emissions limit of 3 parts per 

million by volume (ppmv) was 

determined by a three-run stack test. 

During the stack test, the average HCl 

CEMS reading was determined. The 

alternative allows this CEMS reading to 

become a continuous operating 

parameter that must be met on a 30-day 

rolling average. The EPA determined it 

was appropriate to allow this alternative 

because some facilities have been 

unable to obtain National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST)- 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS
39714 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 22, 2017 / Proposed Rules 

traceable calibration gases. As a result, 

these facilities cannot calibrate their 

CEMS with sufficient accuracy for the 

CEMS readout to be used to directly 

determine compliance with the 3 ppmv 

HCl emissions limit. The alternative 

addresses this problem by allowing 

sources to use the CEMS readouts as a 

parameter monitor to indicate relative 

changes from the observed CEMS HCl 

reading obtained during the stack 

performance test used to demonstrate 

compliance. 

In this action, the EPA is proposing to 

extend the use of the alternative 

monitoring method, as described in the 

July 25, 2016, direct final rulemaking 

(81 FR 48356). Because this alternative 

is only needed until such time as the 

NIST-traceable calibration gases become 

available, the EPA intends to remove the 

alternative once such gases become 

available. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Additional information about these 

statutes and Executive Orders can be 

found at http://www2.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders. 

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 regulation (40 

CFR part 63, subpart LLL) and has 

assigned OMB control number 2060– 

0416. This action 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 action does not create any 

new requirements or burdens and no 

costs are associated with this proposed 

action. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain any 

unfunded mandate 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. It will neither impose 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

federally recognized tribal governments, 

nor preempt tribal law. The EPA is 

aware of one tribally owned Portland 

cement facility currently subject to 40 

CFR part 63, subpart LLL that will be 

subject to this proposed rule. However, 

the provisions of this proposed rule are 

not expected to impose new or 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

tribal governments since the provisions 

in this proposed rule are extending the 

use of an alternative to the HCl 

monitoring provisions, including an 

option which provides operational 

flexibility. 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 only 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 rulemaking 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 that this action does 

not have disproportionately high and 

adverse human health or environmental 

effects on minority populations, lowincome populations, and/or indigenous 

peoples, as specified in Executive Order 

12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

This action does not affect the level of 

protection provided to human health or 

the environment.
