SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) (Renewal),

EPA ICR Number 1135.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0171

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) were proposed on January 22, 1986, and promulgated on October 3, 1988.  These standards apply to each coating operation and each piece of coating mix preparation equipment commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with these regulations.

Approximately six sources are currently subject to the standard, and it is estimated that no additional sources will become subject to the regulation in the next three years.  It is further assumed that two coating lines per year are to be constructed at existing sources over the next three years.  There is a reduction in the number of sources due to industry consolidation.

The current ICR is based on the most recently approved Information Collection Request (ICR).  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 EPA Regional Office.

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 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect:

. . . application of the best technological system of continuous emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated.  Section 111(a)(l).

The Agency refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology (BDT).  Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every four years.

In addition, Section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner or 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, Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from magnetic tape manufacturing either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.  Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The control of emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from magnetic tape manufacturing requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment.  Emissions of VOCs from magnetic tape manufacturing are the result of the operation of coating equipment, and the operation of coating mix preparation equipment.  The subject standards are achieved by the recovery, or destruction of VOC emissions by control devices.

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensures compliance with the applicable regulations which where 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 standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times.

The notifications required in the standard 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 the standards are being met.  The performance test may also be observed.

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

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60,

subpart SSS.

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, no duplication exists.

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 on July 8, 2009 (74 FR 32581).  No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3(c)  Consultations

For this information collection, the previous ICR renewal was used to obtain burden estimates since this ICR renewal was processed under the “Expedited Approach” option provided in May 1, 2008 guidance.  Per this guidance, all data and assumptions from the previous ICR renewal were used as the basis for estimating the hourly and cost burdens associated with this renewal.

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 the 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

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violates any of the regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.

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.

4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a)  Respondents/SIC and NAICS Codes

The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are magnetic tape manufacturers.  The SIC code for the respondents affected by the standards is SIC (United States Standard Industrial Classification) 3695 which corresponds to the NAICS (The North American Industry Classification System) 334613 for magnetic and optical recording media manufacturing.

4(b)  Information Requested

(i)  Data Items

All data in this ICR that is recorded and/or reported is required by 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS.

A source must make the following reports:

Notifications

Construction/reconstruction

60.7(a)(1)

Actual startup

60.7(a)(3)

Initial performance test results

60.8(a)

Initial performance test

60.8(d)

Demonstration of continuous monitoring system

60.7(a)(5)

Physical or operational change

60.7(a)(4)

A source must keep the following records:

Recordkeeping

Startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative

60.7(b)

Records are required to be retained for two years.  Records must be kept onsite.

60.717

Electronic Reporting

Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides parameter data in an automated way, e.g., inlet and outlet concentrations when determining percent efficiency.  Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.  In addition, some regulatory agencies are setting up electronic reporting systems to allow sources to report electronically which is reducing the reporting burden.  However, electronic reporting systems are still not widely used by the regulatory agencies.  It is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

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

Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary.

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 Air Facility System (AFS).

5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might 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 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.

Information contained in the reports is entered into the AFS which is operated and maintained by EPA’s Office of Compliance.  AFS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned facilities.  EPA uses the AFS 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 or operator for

two years.

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

There are no small businesses affected by this regulation at present, and no small businesses are expected to become subject to the regulation in the next three years.

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 for NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) (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 not conduct, or 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 2,017 (Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below).  The recordkeeping hours shown in Table 1 are 1,051.8.  The reporting requirement hours shown in Table 1 are 965.6.  These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS 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	$114.49 ($54.52 + 110%)

Technical	$98.20 ($46.76 + 110%)

Clerical	$48.53 ($23.11 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2009, “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 and Operations and Maintenance Costs

The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the 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 new line becomes subject to the standard.  The annual operations and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $33,600.  This is the total of column D in the above table.

The total operation and maintenance costs for this ICR are $52,800.  This is the total of column G.

The total respondent costs have been calculated as the addition of the capital/startup costs, and the annual operation and maintenance costs.  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 $86,400.  The continuous monitoring costs that are included in this section consist only of those capital/startup and O&M costs that a source incurs as a result of the standard.  Some continuous monitoring costs may not be included in this section.  For instance,  if a particular industry typically utilizes a control device that must have a continuous monitor (e.g., temperature, pressure drop, etc.) to function properly, and the recordation of additional measurements beyond the minimum are required by the standard, then there is no capital/startup or O&M cost, but there is a labor cost to record the additional readings.  Such a cost would not appear in this section, but in the industry burden Section 6(d) below.

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 activities such 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 $6,892.

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

		Managerial	$62.27 (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%)

		Technical	$46.21 (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%)

		Clerical	$25.01 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2010 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: Annual Agency Burden and Cost for NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) (Renewal).

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

Based on our research for this ICR, approximately six (6) existing sources currently are subject to the standard.  It is estimated that an additional zero sources per year will become subject to the regulation in the next three years.  It is further assumed that two coating lines per year are to be constructed at existing sources over the next three years.

Number of respondents is calculated using the following table which addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

The total annual labor costs are $190,824.  Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost for NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) (Renewal).

Note that the total annual capital and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $86,400.   These costs are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The bottom line burden hours and cost tables for both the Agency and the respondents are attached.  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 88 hours per response.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the labor hours to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR because the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Since this ICR renewal was approved to be processed under the “Expedited Approach” option, EPA has maintained the same estimate for the number of sources currently subject to this standard as indicated in the most recently approved ICR.  Therefore, the labor hours figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR.  However, there is a decrease number of respondents currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.  This decrease was due to the number of respondents being incorrectly assigned in the Information Collection Request, Review, and Approval System (ICRAS).

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 88 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.

An agency may not conduct, or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.  The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

To comment on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OECA-2009-0419.

Environmental Protection (PADEP) submitted a revision to its SIP to
reduce the SIP-approved maximum allowable sulfur content limit for No.
2 and lighter commercial fuel oil from a limit of 500 ppm of sulfur to
15 ppm. The proposed SIP revision continues to allow for the limited
sale of higher sulfur fuel under certain specified circumstances, as
provided for under the current SIP.

I. Background

    The revision consists of an amendment to the Pennsylvania SIP to
incorporate a reduction in the SIP-approved maximum allowable sulfur
content limit for No. 2 and lighter commercial fuel oil in Allegheny
County from a limit of 500 ppm of sulfur to 15 ppm.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On June 3, 2019, EPA approved a SIP revision incorporating
the maximum allowable sulfur content of No. 2 and lighter fuel oil
at 500 ppm in Allegheny County (84 FR 18738).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Combustion of sulfur-containing commercial fuel oil releases sulfur
dioxide (SO2) emissions, which contribute to the formation
of regional haze and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), both
of which impact the environment and human health. Regional haze is
pollution produced by sources and activities that emit fine particles
and their precursors which impairs visibility through scattering and
absorption of light. Fine particles may be emitted directly or formed
from emissions of precursors, the most important of which includes
SO2. PM2.5 pollution exposure has been linked to
a variety of health problems. In addition to improving public health
and the environment, decreased emissions of SO2, and
therefore subsequently PM2.5, will contribute to the
attainment or maintenance, or both, of their respective national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
    Pennsylvania is a member of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Visibility
Union (MANE-VU) Regional Planning Office (RPO), established in 2001, to
assist the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states in planning and developing
their regional haze SIP revisions. The other MANE-VU states are
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont. The District of
Columbia, certain Native American tribes in the Region, the EPA, the
United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the United States Forest
Service are also members of MANE-VU. ACHD revised Article XXI, Sec.
2104.10 and the PADEP is submitting it to EPA as a SIP revision in
response to a 2017 ``MANE-VU Ask'' to pursue adoption of a maximum
allowable sulfur content limit of 15 ppm for No. 2 and lighter
commercial fuel oil statewide for purposes of reducing regional haze
and visibility impairment in Pennsylvania and affected Federal Class I
areas.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Areas statutorily designated as mandatory Class I Federal
areas consist of national parks exceeding 6,000 acres, wilderness
areas and national memorial parks exceeding 5,000 acres, and all
international parks that were in existence on August 7, 1977. 42
U.S.C. 7472(a). There are 156 mandatory Class I areas. The list of
areas to which the requirements of the visibility protection program
apply is in 40 CFR part 81, subpart D.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    Through the December 2020 SIP revision submittal, Pennsylvania
seeks to revise its SIP by including amendments to ACHD's Rules and
Regulations in Article XXI, Air Pollution Control, namely, Sec.
2104.10, Commercial Fuel Oil. The amendments to Article XXI, Sec.
2104.10, reduce the SIP-approved maximum allowable sulfur content limit
for No. 2 and lighter commercial fuel oil, generally sold for and used
in residential and commercial furnaces and oil heat burners for home or
space heating, water heating, or both, in Allegheny County from a limit
of 500 ppm of sulfur to 15 ppm. These ACHD amendments to Article XXI,
Sec.  2104.10, became effective on September 1, 2020.
    Commercial Fuel that was stored by the ultimate consumer in
Allegheny County prior to the September 1, 2020 effective date may be
used by the ultimate consumer on or after

September 1, 2020 if it met the applicable maximum allowable sulfur
content through August 31, 2020 at the time it was stored.
    This SIP revision to implement low sulfur fuel oil provisions will
reduce regional haze and visibility impairment in Pennsylvania.
Additionally, decreased emissions of SO2 will contribute to
the attainment and maintenance, or both, of the SO2 and
PM2.5 NAAQS in Pennsylvania and the MANE-VU region.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA has determined that Pennsylvania's proposed SIP revisions to 40
CFR 52.2020(c)(2), which incorporate amendments made to Article XXI,
Air Pollution Control Sec.  2104.10 will lower the maximum allowable
sulfur content limit in No. 2 fuel oil and lighter combusted or sold in
Allegheny County and aid in reducing SO2 emissions. These
emissions are a cause of regional haze and reducing them will help to
attain or maintain the SO2 and PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA
is proposing to approve the December 1, 2020 Pennsylvania SIP revision
which amends commercial No. 2 fuel oil and lighter sulfur limits for
combustion and sale in Allegheny County. EPA is soliciting public
comments on the issues discussed in this document. These comments will
be considered before taking final action.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference Pennsylvania's maximum allowable sulfur content in commercial
fuel oil regulation as described in Section II of this document. EPA
has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally
available through http://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region III
Office (please contact the person identified in the For Further
Information Contact section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 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 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 CAA; 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, this proposed rule regarding commercial fuel oil
sulfur limits for combustion and sale in Allegheny County does not have
tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian
country located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

Delegation of Authority To Implement and Enforce Additional
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants to the
Philadelphia Department of Public Health's Air Management Services

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On October 17, 2011, EPA sent the Philadelphia Department of
Public Health's Air Management Services (AMS) a letter acknowledging
that AMS's delegation of authority to implement and enforce National
Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) had been
updated, as provided for under a previously approved delegation
mechanism. EPA sent this letter in response to an AMS request for the
update. To inform regulated facilities and the public of AMS's updated
delegation of authority to implement and enforce NESHAP, EPA is making
available a copy of EPA's letter to AMS through this notice.

DATES: On October 17, 2011, EPA sent AMS a letter acknowledging that
AMS's delegation of authority to implement and enforce NESHAP had been
updated.

ADDRESSES: Copies of documents pertaining to this action are available
for public inspection during normal business hours at the Air
Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III,
1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-2029. Copies of
AMS's submittal are also available at the Philadelphia Department of
Public Health, Air Management Services, 321 University Avenue,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104. Copies of AMS's request, and of EPA's
response, may also be found posted on EPA Region III's Web site at:
http://www.epa.gov/reg3artd/airregulations/delegate/phdelegation.htm.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ray Chalmers,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 5, 2011, AMS requested that its
delegation of authority to implement and enforce Federal NESHAP be
updated to include several additional NESHAP. On October 17, 2011, EPA
sent AMS a letter acknowledging that AMS's delegation of authority to
implement and enforce NESHAP had been updated to include these
additional NESHAP, as provided for under a previously approved
delegation mechanism. All notifications, applications, reports and
other correspondence required pursuant to the delegated NESHAP must be
submitted to both the US EPA Region III and to AMS. A copy of EPA's
letter to AMS follows:

Mr. Thomas Huynh
Director
Philadelphia Air Management Services
321 University Avenue, 2nd Floor
Philadelphia, PA 19104

    Dear Mr. Huynh,
    The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
previously delegated to the Philadelphia Department of Public
Health's Air Management Services (AMS) the authority to implement
and enforce various federal National Emissions Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), as found at 40 CFR Part 63. (67

FR 4181, January 29, 2002.) \1\ EPA's approval of that previous
delegation included an approval of an AMS mechanism for obtaining
automatic delegation of any future NESHAP regulations which AMS
adopted unchanged from the Federal requirements. This mechanism is
for AMS to submit a letter requesting additional delegations to EPA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA has posted copies of this action at: http://www.epa.gov/reg3artd/airregulations/delegate/phdelegation.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In a letter dated August 5, 2011, AMS requested ``delegation by
reference'' to implement and enforce the following additional NESHAP
for area sources as in 40 C.F.R. Part 63:
    1. Subpart BBBBBB--Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminal, Bulk
Plant and Pipeline Facilities.
    2. Subpart CCCCCC--Gasoline Distribution, Gasoline Dispensing
Facilities.
    3. Subpart EEE--Hazardous Waste Combustors.
    4. Subpart HHHHHH--Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface
Coating.
    5. Subpart OOOOOO--Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication and
Production.
    6. Subpart VVV--Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW).
    7. Subpart WWWWW--Hospital Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers.
    8. Subpart ZZZZZ--Iron and Steel Foundries.
    AMS also requested ``automatic delegation'' of future amendments
that EPA promulgates with respect to these NESHAP.
    AMS specified in its request letter that it was seeking
delegation of the authority to implement and enforce these
additional NESHAP and future amendments that EPA promulgates with
respect to these NESHAP under its previously approved mechanism for
obtaining delegation of additional NESHAP.
    On January 29, 2002, EPA initially delegated to AMS the
authority to implement and enforce various NESHAP as found at 40 CFR
Part 63. In this action, EPA concluded that AMS had demonstrated, as
required, that AMS met the general ``up-front'' criteria for
approval which are set forth at 40 C.F.R. Sec.  63.91(d). According
to 40 C.F.R. Sec.  63.91(d)(2), ``[o]nce a State has satisfied the
Sec.  63.91(d) up-front approval requirements, it only needs to
reference the previous demonstration and reaffirm that it still
meets the criteria for any subsequent equivalency submittals.''
    In its August 5, 2011 request for delegation of additional area
source NESHAP, AMS included a full new demonstration that it met the
requirements of 40 CFR Sec.  63.91(d). While a full new
demonstration was not required, EPA finds that the full new
demonstration meets the requirement for a reaffirmation that AMS
continues to meet the up-front approval requirements of 40 CFR Sec.
63.91(d).
    EPA finds that AMS has met the requirements to be automatically
delegated the authority to implement and enforce the eight
additional NESHAP for area sources specified in the listing above,
as well as any future amendments EPA may promulgate with respect to
them. Accordingly, EPA hereby delegates to AMS the authority to
implement and enforce these eight additional NESHAP for area
sources, as well as any future amendments EPA may make to them. This
delegation to AMS is subject to the same terms of approval as set
forth in EPA's initial January 29, 2002 delegation to AMS of the
authority to implement and enforce NESHAPs as found at 40 CFR Part
63.
    Please note that on December 19, 2008 in Sierra Club vs. EPA,\2\
the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit vacated certain provisions of the General Provisions of 40
CFR Part 63 relating to exemptions for startup, shutdown, and
malfunction (SSM). On October 16, 2009, the Court issued the mandate
vacating these SSM exemption provisions, which are found at 40 CFR
Sec.  63.6(f)(1) and (h)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Sierra Club v. EPA, 551 F.3rd 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, EPA no longer allows sources the SSM exemption as
provided for in the vacated provisions at 40 CFR Sec.  63.6(f)(1)
and (h)(1), even though EPA has not yet formally removed the SSM
exemption provisions from the General Provisions of 40 CFR Part 63.
Because AMS incorporated 40 CFR Part 63 by reference, AMS should
also no longer allow sources to use the former SSM exemption from
the General Provisions of 40 CFR Part 63 due to the Court's ruling
in Sierra Club vs. EPA.
    EPA appreciates AMS's continuing NESHAP implementation and
enforcement efforts, and also AMS's decision to take automatic
delegation of eight additional and more recent NESHAP for area
sources.
    If you have any questions, please contact me or Ms. Kathleen
Cox, Associate Director, Office of Permits and Air Toxics, at 215-
814-2173.

    Sincerely,

Diana Esher, Director
Air Protection Division

    This notice acknowledges the update of AMS's delegation of
authority to implement and enforce NESHAP.

NOTICE OF CONTINUING ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE PAYMENTS

By Order 2006-3-21, issued March 22, 2006, the Department selected Mesa
Air Group, Inc., d/b/a Air Midwest (Air Midwest) to provide essential
air service (EAS) with 19-passenger Raytheon/Beechcraft B-1900D aircraft
at Vernal and Moab, Utah, for two years, through May 31, 2008,
replacing the incumbent, Mountain Bird Inc. d/b/a Salmon Air (Salmon
Air).  The annual subsidy rates were set at $562,720 for Vernal and
$1,298,784 for Moab.  The Department also set Salmon Air’s short-term,
annual subsidy rates at $555,771 for Vernal and $783,608 for Moab for
its provision of EAS from March 1, 2006, until Air Midwest inaugurated
service at both communities.

Immediately following the issuance of Order 2006-3-21, the Department
discovered that neither Vernal-Uintah County Airport (Vernal) nor
Canyonlands Field (Moab) met the operational and safety requirements
established under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 139, and
therefore can not accommodate Air Midwest’s 19-passenger aircraft.  As
a result, Air Midwest is not able to commence EAS at either Vernal or
Moab until the airports become compliant.

Department staff has spoken with both communities, both air carriers,
and the Federal Aviation Administration, and all parties have agreed to
work toward a July 2nd transition.  Therefore, the Department will
continue to compensate Salmon Air at the previously established
short-term rates through July 1st.
