National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Revision of Area Source Category List Under Section 112( c)( 3) and 112( k)( 3)( B)( ii) of the Clean Air Act AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). ACTION: Notice of revisions to the area source category list under the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy.

SUMMARY: This notice adds 23 area source categories of hazardous air pollutants ( HAP) to the previous lists developed under the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy ( Strategy). With the addition of these categories, the requirement to identify and list area source categories representing at least 90 percent of the emissions of the 30 `` listed'' ( or area source) HAP under section 112( c)( 3) and 112( k)( 3)( B)( ii) of the Clean Air Act ( CAA) is fulfilled. The Strategy's area source category list constitutes an important part of EPA's agenda for regulating stationary sources of air topics emissions. These revisions to the list of area sources have not been reflected in any previous notices and are being made without public comment on the Administrator's own motion. Such revisions are deemed by EPA to be without need for public comment based on the nature of the actions. EFFECTIVE DATE: November 22, 2002.

I. What Is the History of the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy Area Source Category List?

The CAA includes two provisions, section 112( c)( 3) and 112( k)( 3)( B)( ii), that instruct EPA to identify and list area source categories accounting for at least 90 percent of the emissions of the 30 `` listed'' ( or area source) HAP ( 64 FR 38706, July 19, 1999), and that are, or will be, subject to standards under section 112( d) of the CAA. For this effort, we have used urban area source information from the section 112( k) inventory, which represents a baseline year of 1990. In the July 1999 Strategy, we identified 16 area source categories that had already been listed for regulation under the CAA, and 13 area source categories that were being listed under section 112( c)( 3) for the first time. These 29 area source categories are:   Cyclic Crude and Intermediate Production   Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations   Hospital Sterilizers   Industrial Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing   Industrial Organic Chemical Manufacturing   Mercury Cell Chlor Alkali Plants   Gasoline Distribution Stage 1   Municipal Landfills   Oil and Natural Gas Production   Paint Stripping Operations   Plastic Materials and Resins Manufacturing   Publicly Owned Treatment Works   Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing   Chromic Acid Anodizing   Commercial Sterilization Facilities   Other Solid Waste Incinerators ( Human/ Animal Cremation)   Decorative Chromium Electroplating   Dry Cleaning Facilities   Halogenated Solvent Cleaners   Hard Chromium Electroplating   Hazardous Waste Combustors   Industrial Boilers   Institutional/ Commercial Boilers   Medical Waste Incinerators   Municipal Waste Combustors   Open Burning Scrap Tires   Portland Cement   Secondary Lead Smelting   Stationary Internal Combustion Engines. Each of the first 13 area source categories above, which were listed for the first time in June 1999, contributed at least 15 percent of the total area source urban emissions for at least one of the 30 area source HAP. We also took credit for the percentage of emission contribution from the last 16 area source categories on the list above. Since then, we added Secondary Aluminum Production to our list of major and area source categories ( 66 FR 8220, January 30, 2001). On June 26, 2002, we listed an additional 18 area source categories:   Acrylic Fibers/ Modacrylic Fibers Production   Plating and Polishing   Agricultural Chemicals & Pesticides Manufacturing   Autobody Refinishing Paint Shops   Cadmium Refining & Cadmium Oxide Production   Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production   Iron Foundries   Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing   Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing ( MON)   Pharmaceutical Production   Polyvinyl Chloride & Copolymers Production   Pressed and Blown Glass & Glassware Manufacturing   Secondary Copper Smelting   Secondary Nonferrous Metals   Sewage Sludge Incineration   Stainless and Nonstainless Steel Manufacturing Electric Arc Furnaces ( EAF)   Steel Foundries   Wood Preserving. The listing of all these categories, however, did not meet the requirement to list area sources representing 90 percent of the area source emissions of the 30 area source HAP. In the Strategy, we indicated that we would be adding additional area source categories as necessary to meet the 90 percent requirement and would complete our listing by 2003.

II. Why Is EPA Issuing This Notice?

Under the provisions of section 112( c)( 3) and 112( k)( 3)( B)( ii), this notice announces the addition of 23 area source categories to the list initially published on July 19, 1999 ( 64 FR 38721), amended on January 30, 2001 ( 66 FR 8220), and on June 26, 2002 ( 67 FR 43112). While this listing is again based on the section 112( k) inventory which represents urban area information for 1990, current information will be used for any type of regulatory development. Each of the source categories contributes a percentage of the total area source emissions for at least one of the 30 area source HAP and completes our requirement to address 90 percent of the emissions of each of the 30 area source HAP. The additional area source categories being listed pursuant to section 112( c)( 3) and 112( k)( 3)( B)( ii) are:   Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing   Brick and Structural Clay Products Manufacturing   Carbon Black Production   Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds   Chemical Preparations   Clay Ceramics Manufacturing   Industrial Machinery and Equipment: Finishing Operations   Copper Foundries   Electrical and Electronics Equipment: Finishing Operations   Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese   Fabricated Metal Products Manufacturing, not elsewhere classified ( nec)   Fabricated Plate Work ( Boiler Shops)   Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing   Heating Equipment Manufacturing, Except Electric   Inorganic Pigments Manufacturing   Iron and Steel Forging   Nonferrous Foundries, nec   Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing   Plastic Parts and Products ( Surface Coating)   Prepared Feeds Manufacturing   Primary Copper Smelters   Primary Metals Products Manufacturing   Valves and Pipe Fittings Manufacturing In addition to adding these area source categories, EPA is also revising the name of the area source category Cadmium Refining and Cadmium Oxide Production to Primary Nonferrous Metals   Zinc, Cadmium and Beryllium. This category is also being expanded to include these other operations: Primary Smelting and Refining of Zinc, and Primary Nonferrous Metals. Expanding this source category to include these additional operations is needed to meet the 90 percent requirement for several HAP. The name of the area source category Lead and Acid Battery Manufacturing is also changed to Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing. In a recent notice, addressed in a separate Federal Register notice), the area source category Open Burning of Scrap Tires was removed from source categories included in the inventory analysis for section 112( c)( 6) and 112( k). Consequently, that source category will no longer be a candidate for regulation VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 14: 19 Nov 21, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 22NON1. SGM 22NON1 70429 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 226 / Friday, November 22, 2002 / Notices under either section 112( c)( 6) or 112( k). As a result, two area source categories: Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roof Manufacturing, and Carbon Black Production were added to the section 112( k) list above to ensure that 90 percent of the emissions of the HAP, polycyclic organic matter, are addressed.

III. Administrative Requirements Today's notice is not a rule; it is essentially an information sharing activity which does not impose regulatory requirements or costs. Therefore, the requirements of Executive Order 13045 ( Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks), Executive Order 13175 ( Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments), Executive Order 13132 ( Federalism), Executive Order 13211 ( Actions Concerning Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use), the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act, and the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act do not apply to today's notice. Also, this notice does not contain any information collection requirements and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq. Under Executive Order 12866 ( 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), a regulatory action determined to be `` significant'' is subject to the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) review and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Executive Order defines `` significant'' regulatory action as one that is likely to lead to a rule that may either: ( 1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $ 100 million or more, or adversely affect a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local or tribal governments or communities; ( 2) create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action take or planned by another agency; ( 3) materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or ( 4) raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive Order. The OMB has determined that this action is not significant under the terms of Executive Order 12866. Dated: November 13, 2002. Robert Brenner, Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.

 Equitrans, L.P.; Notice of Request for Extension of Time

    Take notice that on July 10, 2020, Equitrans L.P. (Equitrans)
requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission)
grant an extension of time, until December 1, 2020, to complete the
abandonment of the Pratt Compressor Station facilities located in
Greene County, Pennsylvania. The Pratt Compressor Station is being
replaced by the Redhook Compressor Station as part of the Equitrans
Expansion Project as authorized by the Commission's October 13, 2017
Order Issuing Certificates and Granting Abandonment Authority
(Certificate Order).\1\ Equitrans is required to abandon the Pratt
Compressor Station facilities within one year of placing the Redhook
Compressor Station into service.\2\

    \2\ Equitrans, L.P., 162 FERC 61,191, at P 5 (2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 31, 2019, Equitrans placed the Redhook Compressor Station
into service, establishing July 31, 2020 as the abandonment deadline
for the Pratt Compressor Station facilities.
    On March 5, 2020, Commission staff granted Equitrans' request to
proceed with abandonment activities at the Pratt Compressor Station, as
well as its request for a variance to abandon-in-place several existing
facilities that were approved for removal at the Pratt Compressor
Station.\3\ Specifically, the variance permitted Equitrans to abandon-
in-place the H-117 pipeline receiver; the D-497 pipeline pig launcher
and associated appurtenances; five buildings, including storage
buildings, an office building, an electronics building, and the main
water service building; a garage; and the foundation floor of the
building housing the old Pratt compressor units.

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

    Equitrans asserts that it has experienced delays as a result of
extra safety precautions taken due to the age of the building and
equipment, safeguards taken with removal of the compressor building to
ensure safety in direct vicinity of remaining equipment at the station,
and inefficiencies resulting from newly developed processes related to
the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the following facilities remain to be
removed from the site: (a) 2,200 linear feet of piping; (b) six
vessels; (c) five coolers; (d) compressor building basement; and (e)
five compressors. Accordingly, Equitrans requests an extension of time
until December 1, 2020, to complete abandonment of the Pratt Compressor
Station facilities.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Equitrans' request
for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will
be considered. If you wish to obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this request, you should, on or before the
comment date stated below, file a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).\4\

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

    As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural
Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order
issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,\5\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\6\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\7\ At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time,
orders on certificates of public convenience and necessity are final
and the Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\8\ The OEP
Director, or his or her designee, will act on all of those extension
requests that are uncontested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Contested proceedings are those where an intervenor disputes
any material issue of the filing. 18 CFR 385.2201(c)(1) (2019).
