NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1975.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0548.

      1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

      The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) were proposed on December 19, 2002, promulgated on June 15, 2004, and revised on: June 26, 2006; January 18, 2008; January 30, 2013; and February 27, 2014. These regulations apply to owners and operators of a stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE) at a major or area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, except if the stationary RICE is being tested at a stationary RICE test cell/stand. A stationary RICE is any internal combustion engine which uses reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work and which is not mobile. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.

      The original NESHAP applied only to stationary RICE having a rating of greater than 500 horsepower (HP) and that are located at major sources.  In 2008, the NESHAP was amended (73 FR 3568) to include new or reconstructed stationary RICE having a rating of less than or equal to 500 HP and that are located at major sources, and new or reconstructed stationary RICE located at area sources. The revised NESHAP also addressed other types of stationary RICE having a rating of less than 500 HP and that are located at major sources, as well as stationary RICE located at area sources, but these requirements were both identical to and are covered under the new source performance standards (NSPS) Subparts IIII and JJJJ.

      On January 30, 2013 (78 FR 6674), EPA finalized amendments to the NESHAP that included new reporting requirements for stationary emergency RICE having a rating of greater than 100 HP, and that either operate or are contractually obligated to be available for more than 15 hours per year (up to a maximum of 100 hours per year) for emergency demand response.

      The most-recent amendment issued on February 27, 2014 (79 FR 11290) promulgated technical and editorial corrections for source testing of emissions and operations. These revisions corrected inaccuracies and outdated testing procedures and approved new alternative procedures, which will improve the quality of the data and give testers flexibility.

      In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents, and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority.     In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The "Affected Public" covers stationary RICE entities located at major or area source facilities; these affected facilities are privately-owned, for-profit businesses. None of the facilities in the United States are owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government. We assume that they will all respond. The "burden" to the Affected Public may be found below in Tables 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) (Renewal).  The "burden" to the Federal government is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors and may be found below in Tables 2:  Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Over the next three years, an average of 149,926 existing respondents per year will be subject to these standards, and an additional 1,284 new respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. In addition, there are 755,430 existing respondents that are subject, but only have recordkeeping requirements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any "Terms of Clearance".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from RICE either cause or contribute   to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in these standards ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility's initial capability to comply with the emission standards. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The notifications required in these standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated and these standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a) Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (81 FR 26546) on May 3, 2016. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c) Consultations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in these standards, is the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency's internal industry experts.

      Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with these standards as they were being developed and these same standards have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted both the Engine Manufacturers Association, at<PHONE_NUMBER>7, and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

      It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal, as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(d) Effects of Less-Frequent Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Less-frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet these standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less-frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(e) General Guidelines
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most-flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(f) Confidentiality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(g) Sensitive Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(a) Agency Activities
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agency Activities

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audit facility records.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and ICIS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and to note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semi-annual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. ICIS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      A majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Minimizing the information collection burden for all sizes of organizations is a continuing effort for the EPA. To reduce the impact on small entities, only engines greater than 500 HP are subject to continuous monitoring and additional performance testing. Small entities will be required to conduct fewer performance tests than large sources, reducing the impact on small sources. Furthermore, EPA is requiring less reporting requirements on smaller sources.  Thus, we do not believe that the NESHAP will have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      5(d) Collection Schedule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 3,610,000 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously-approved ICR, and any comments received.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (i) Estimating Labor Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This ICR uses the following labor rates:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Managerial	$138.43 ($65.92+ 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Technical	$106.45 ($50.69 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Clerical	$52.77 ($25.13 + 110%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2015, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation." The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standards are both labor costs, which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR, and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

Note: Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[a  - ] We estimate there 769 (non-exempt) new major source stationary RICE greater than 500 hp and 410 new area source stationary RICE per year.  We assume all non-exempt new sources will incur capital costs.  (769 + 410 = 1,179 sources) There are an additional 105 exempt new major stationary RICE sources.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[b  - ] We estimate an average of 13,718 existing major source stationary RICE greater than 500 hp and 3,480 existing area source stationary RICE per year will have O&M costs over the three-year period of this ICR. (13,718 + 3,480 = 17,198 sources)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[c  - ] Each facility can purchase one portable CO monitor and use it for several stationary RICE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[d  - ] We assume that only 366 of the 769 new (non-exempt) major source stationary RICE (>500 hp) have to purchase large CPMS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $2,860,000. This is the total of column D in the above table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $32,200,000. This is the total of column G.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $35,100,000.  These are recordkeeping costs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes such activities as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $33,200,000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

		Managerial	$64.16 (GS-13, Step 5, $40.10 + 60%)
		Technical	$47.62 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.76 + 60%)
		Clerical	$25.76 (GS-6, Step 3, $16.10 + 60%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2016 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost  -  NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately 148,642 existing respondents will be subject to these standards. It is estimated that an additional 1,284 new respondents per year will become subject to these same standards. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 906,640 per year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

      6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      There is an overall increase in burden and cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is not due to program changes; rather, it occurred because of an estimated increase in the total number of sources subject to the rule since the last ICR renewal. EPA estimates a linear growth in the industry sector with an additional of 1,284 new sources per year that become subject to the NESHAP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      6(g) Burden Statement
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3 hours per response. "Burden" means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assumptions:
a  -  We estimate an average of 1,284 new sources per year over the three-year period of this ICR. This includes 769 non-exempt major stationary RICE (>500 hp), 105 exempt major stationary RICE (>500 hp), and 410 area sources.
b  -  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $106.45 for technical, $138.43 for managerial, and $52. 77 for clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2015, "Table 2. Civilian worker, by occupational and industry group." The rates are chosen from column 1, "Total compensation." The rates have been increased nu 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.
c  -  The estimated number of sources for these activities was obtained from EPA ICR Number 1975.04.
d  -  We assume all non-exempt new sources have to complete these activities (1,284 - 105 = 1,179 sources).
e  -  We assume a 123,485 existing sources have to write semiannual reports. This estimate includes 13,718 existing major source stationary RICE (>500 hp), 3,480 existing area sources, 60,654 existing CI engines, and 45,633 existing SI engines.
f  -  We assume 25,995 existing CI engines have to complete annual reports. This estimate is based on EPA ICR Number 1975.07.
g -  We assume 446 local utilities and 16 hours per annual report, and 70 curtailment service providers with 1,000 hours per report.  This estimate is based on the January 2013 Final Rule amendment.  Reporting requirements for emergencies RICE will begin in 2016 which is the final year covered in this ICR. Therefore, we assume an average annual occurrence of 0.33 (once every three years) for this ICR.
h  -  These estimates were obtained from EPA ICR Number 1975.04, 1975.05, 1975.07 and 1975.08.
i  -  Totals have been rounded to three significant digits. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2016 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.  The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.
c  -  We assume a 123,485 existing sources have to write semiannual reports. This estimate includes 13,718 existing major source stationary RICE (>500 hp), 3,480 existing area sources, 60,654 existing CI engines, and 45,633 existing SI engines.

MEMORANDUM

FROM:  Keith Barnett, EPA/OAR/OAQPS/SPPD MMG

TO: Portland Cement Administrative Record

RE:  Portland Cement Kiln Permit Limits

	Attached to this memo is information supplied by the State of Florida
on the cement kilns in Florida that have permit limits.  Based on
conversations with Cindy Mulkey of the State of Florida, it appears that
the permit limits are determined based on information sent in by the
affected source.  The source estimates their annual mercury emissions
based on the mercury in their raw materials.  They then calculate an
estimated annual mercury emission level and request it as a permit
limit.

I also spoke with Joe Horton of Suwannee American Cement who confirmed
that they typically perform materials analyses and do a worst case
estimate by assuming that if no mercury is detected they use the mercury
detection limit to estimate emissions.  Once they begin operation, they
try to do analyses with a lower detection limit (most of their analyses
are non-detects).  This provides a built in “pad” so they don’t
exceed their permit limits.

I also spoke with personnel in the State of Michigan about the Michigan
permit limits.  These limits (for the two facilities that have them) are
based on the measured emissions.  So the facilities don’t have to take
any action to control mercury.

The final State the provided information was the State of Maine.  They
have one cement kiln whose permit limit is set by State law.  The kiln
currently meets this level without any mercury control being required.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP22-25-000]

Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC; Notice of Schedule for the
Preparation of an Environmental Assessment for the Calcasieu Pass
Uprate Amendment Project

    On December 3, 2021, Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC (Calcasieu
Pass) filed an application in Docket No. CP22-25-000 requesting an
amendment to its Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act authorization granted
by the Commission on February 21, 2019 in Docket No. CP15-550-000. The
proposed project is known as the Calcasieu Pass Uprate Amendment
Project (Project), and it would increase the Calcasieu Pass Export
Terminal's authorized peak liquefaction capacity achievable under
optimal conditions from 12.0 million metric tons per annum to 12.4
million metric tons per annum of liquified natural gas (LNG)--or from
approximately 620 billion cubic feet to 640.7 billion cubic feet per
year (gas equivalence).
    On December 15, 2021, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
environmental document for the Project.
    This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the Project and the planned schedule
for the completion of the environmental review.\1\

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA--June 24, 2022
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline \2\--September 22, 2022
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Commission's deadline applies to the decisions of other
federal agencies, and state agencies acting under federally
delegated authority, that are responsible for federal
authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed
projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 18 CFR 157.22(a), the
Commission's deadline for other agency's decisions applies unless a
schedule is otherwise established by federal law.

    This schedule is dependent upon the applicant providing complete
responses to information requested by staff in the timeframe identified
in staff's environmental information requests. If a schedule change
becomes necessary, additional notice will be provided so that the
relevant agencies are kept informed of the Project's progress.

Project Description

    Calcasieu Pass proposes to increase the Export Terminal's
authorized peak liquefaction capacity achievable under optimal
conditions from 12.0 million metric tons per annum to 12.4 million
metric tons per annum of LNG. According to Calcasieu Pass, this
proposed increase in the peak liquefaction capacity reflects
refinements in the conditions and assumptions concerning the maximum
potential operations. The requested increase does not involve the
construction of any new facilities nor any modification of the
previously authorized facilities. There would be no land disturbance
required for this Project.

Background

    On March 24, 2022, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping Period
Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Calcasieu
Pass Uprate Amendment Project. The Notice of Scoping was sent to
affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies;
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native
American tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and
newspapers. Comments were filed by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, RESTORE, and the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice
regarding light and noise pollution, air emissions, safety,
environmental justice, climate change, and economic impacts. All
substantive comments received will be addressed in the EA.
