If EPA complies by consulting, Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to provide to OMB, in a separately identified section of the preamble to the rule, a federalism summary impact statement ( FSIS). The FSIS must include a description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation with 213 State and local officials, a summary of the nature of their concerns and EPA's position supporting the need to issue the regulation, and a statement of the extent to which the concerns of State and local officials have been met. Also,

when EPA transmits a draft final rule with federalism implications to OMB for review pursuant to Executive Order 12866, it must include a certification from EPA's Federalism Official stating that EPA has met the requirements of Executive Order 13132 in a meaningful and timely manner.

Today's final rule does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government,

as specified in Executive Order 13132. None of the affected facilities are owned or operated by State governments, and the final rule requirements will not supercede State regulations that are more stringent. Thus, the requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply to the final rule.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments Executive Order 13175, entitled " Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments" ( 65 FR 67249,

November 6, 2000), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure " meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that 214 have tribal implications." " Policies that have tribal implications" is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that have " substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes."

Today's final rule does not have tribal implications.

It will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175.

No affected plant sites are owned or operated by Indian tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this final rule.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health & Safety Risks Executive Order 13045 ( 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)

applies to any rule that: ( 1) is determined to be " economically significant," as defined under Executive Order 12866, and ( 2) concerns an environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets both criteria, the EPA must evaluate the environmental health or safety effects of the planned rule 215 on children and explain why the planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.

The Agency does not have reason to believe that the environmental health or safety risks associated with the emissions addressed by today's final rule present a disproportionate risk to children. This demonstration is based on the fact that the noncancer human health values we used in our analysis ( e. g., RfC) are determined to be protective of sensitive subpopulations, including children.

Also, while the cancer human health values do not always expressly account for cancer effects in children, the cancer risks posed by PCWP facilities that meet the eligibility criteria for being included in the delisted low risk subcategory will be sufficiently low so as not to be a concern for anyone in the population, including children.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use Executive Order 13211, " Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use" ( 66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), provides that agencies shall prepare and submit to the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, a Statement of Energy Effects for certain actions identified as " significant energy actions." Section 4( b) of Executive Order 13211 defines " significant energy 216 actions" as " any action by an agency ( normally published in the Federal Register) that promulgates or is expected to lead to the promulgation of a final rule or regulation,

including notices of inquiry, advance notices of proposed rulemaking, and notices of proposed rulemaking: ( 1) ( i) that is a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 or any successor order, and ( ii) is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy; or ( 2) that is designated by the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a significant energy action." The final rule is not a " significant energy action" because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,

distribution, or use of energy. The basis for the determination is as follows.

This final rule affects manufacturers in the softwood veneer and plywood ( NAICS 321212), reconstituted wood products ( NAICS 321219), and engineered wood products ( NAICS 321213) industries. There is no crude oil, fuel, or coal production from these industries. Hence, there is no direct effect on such energy production related to implementation of this proposal. In fact, as previously mentioned in this preamble, there will be an increase in energy consumption,

and hence an increase in energy production, resulting from installation of RTO and WESP likely needed for sources to meet the requirements of the final rule. This increase in 217 1U. S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration. Annual Energy Review, End Use Energy Consumption for 1998. Located on the Internet at http:// www. eia. doe. gov/ emeu/ aer/ enduse. html.

2 Ibid. energy consumption is equal to 718 million kilowatthours year ( kWh/ yr) for electricity and 45 million cubic meters/ year ( m3/ yr) for natural gas. These increases are equivalent to 0.012 percent of 1998 U. S. electricity production and 0.000001 percent of 1998 U. S. natural gas production. 1 It should be noted, however, that the reduction in demand for product output from these industries may lead to a negative indirect effect on such energy production, for the output reduction will lead to less energy use by these industries and thus some reduction in overall energy production.

For fuel production, the result of this indirect effect from reduced product output is a reduction of only about 1 barrel per day nationwide, or a 0.00001 percent reduction nationwide based on 1998 U. S. fuel production data. 2 For coal production, the resulting indirect effect from reduced product output is a reduction of only 2,000 tons per year nationwide, or only a 0.00001 percent reduction nationwide based on 1998 U. S. coal production data. For electricity production, the resulting indirect effect from reduced product output is a reduction of 42.8 million kWh/ yr, or only a 0.00013 percent reduction nationwide based on 1998 218 3U. S. Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration. 1998 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey. Located on the Internet at http:// www. eia. doe. gov/ emeu/ mecs/ mecs98/ datatables/ contents. html. U. S. electricity production data. Given that the estimated price increase for product output from any of the affected industries is no more than 2.5 percent, there should be no price increase for any energy type by more than this amount.

The cost of energy distribution should not be affected by this proposal at all since the rule does not affect energy distribution facilities. Finally, with changes in net exports being a minimal percentage of domestic output ( 0.01 percent) from the affected industries, there will be only a negligible change in international trade, and hence in dependence on foreign energy supplies. No other adverse outcomes are expected to occur with regards to energy supplies. Thus, the net effect of this final rule on energy production is an increase in electricity output of 0.012 percent compared to 1998 output data, and a negligible change in output of other energy types. All of the results presented above account for the passthrough of costs to consumers, as well as the cost impact to producers. These results also account for how energy use is related to product output for the affected industries. 3 For more information on the estimated energy effects, please refer to 219 4U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. " Energy Impact Analysis of the Proposed Plywood and Composite Wood Products NESHAP." July 30, 2001. the background memo4 to these calculations and the economic impact analysis for the rule. The background memo and economic impact analysis are available in the public docket.

Therefore, we conclude that the final rule is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,

distribution, or use of energy.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act Section 12( d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act ( NTTAA) of 1995 ( Public Law No. 104 113;

15 U. S. C. 272 note) directs the EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory and procurement activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards ( e. g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, business practices) developed or adopted by one or more voluntary consensus bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through annual reports to the Office of Management and Budget ( OMB), with explanations when an agency does not use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.

This rulemaking involves technical standards. The EPA cites the following standards in this rule: EPA Methods 1,

1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G, 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 18, 25A, and 29 in 220 40 CFR part 60, appendix A; 204 and 204A through F in 40 CFR part 51, appendix M; 308, 316, and 320 in 40 CFR part 63 appendix A; EPA Method 0011 in EPA publication no. SW 846 (" Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/ Chemical Methods") for formaldehyde; and two National Council of the Paper Industry for Air and Stream Improvement, Inc., ( NCASI)

methods: NCASI Method CI/ WP 98.01 ( 1998), " Chilled Impinger Method For Use At Wood Products Mills to Measure Formaldehyde, Methanol, and Phenol," and NCASI Method IM/ CAN/ WP 99.02 ( 2003), " Impinger/ Canister Source Sampling Method For Selected HAPs and Other Compounds at Wood Products Facilities."

Consistent with the NTTAA, EPA conducted searches to identify voluntary consensus standards in addition to these EPA methods/ performance specifications. No applicable voluntary consensus standards were identified for EPA Methods 1A, 2A, 2D, 2F, 2G, 204, 204A through 204F, 308, and 316. The search and review results have been documented and are placed in Docket numbers OAR 2003 0048 and A 98 44 for the final rule.

One voluntary consensus standard was identified as an acceptable alternative to EPA test methods for the purposes of this rule. The voluntary consensus standard ASTM D6348

03, " Standard Test Method for Determination of Gaseous Compounds by Extractive Direct Interface Fourier Transform Infrared ( FTIR) Spectroscopy," is an acceptable alternative 221 to EPA Method 320 provided that the % R as determined in Annex A5 of ASTM D6348 03 is equal or greater than 70% and less than or equal to 130%. Also, the moisture determination in ASTM D6348 03 is an acceptable alternative to the measurement of moisture using EPA Method 4.

In addition to the voluntary consensus standards the EPA uses in this rule, the search for emissions measurement procedures identified 13 other voluntary consensus standards. The EPA determined that 11 of those 13 voluntary consensus standards identified for measuring emissions of the HAP or surrogates subject to emission standards in the rule were impractical alternatives to EPA test methods for the purposes of the rule. Therefore, EPA does not intend to adopt those standards for that purpose. The reasons for the determination for the 11 methods are discussed below.

The voluntary consensus standard ASTM D3154 00,

" Standard Method for Average Velocity in a Duct ( Pitot Tube Method)," is impractical as an alternative to EPA Methods 1,

2, 2C, 3, 3B, and 4 for the purposes of this rulemaking since the standard appears to lack in quality control and quality assurance requirements. Specifically, ASTM D3154 00 does not include the following: 1) proof that openings of standard pitot tube have not plugged during the test; 2) if differential pressure gauges other than inclined manometers ( e. g., magnehelic gauges) are used, their calibration must be checked after each test series; and 3) the frequency and 222 validity range for calibration of the temperature sensors.

The voluntary consensus standard ASTM D3464 96 ( 2001),

" Standard Test Method Average Velocity in a Duct Using a Thermal Anemometer," is impractical as an alternative to EPA Method 2 for the purposes of this rulemaking primarily because applicability specifications are not clearly defined, e. g., range of gas composition, temperature limits.

Also, the lack of supporting quality assurance data for the calibration procedures and specifications, and certain variability issues that are not adequately addressed by the standard limit EPA's ability to make a definitive comparison of the method in these areas.

The voluntary consensus standard ISO 10780: 1994,

" Stationary Source Emissions   Measurement of Velocity and Volume Flowrate of Gas Streams in Ducts," is impractical as an alternative to EPA Method 2 in this rulemaking. The standard recommends the use of an L shaped pitot, which historically has not been recommended by EPA. The EPA specifies the S type design which has large openings that are less likely to plug up with dust.

The voluntary consensus standard, CAN/ CSA Z223.2

M86( 1986), " Method for the Continuous Measurement of Oxygen,

Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Dioxide, and Oxides of Nitrogen in Enclosed Combustion Flue Gas Streams," is unacceptable as a substitute for EPA Method 3A since it does not include quantitative specifications for measurement 223 system performance, most notably the calibration procedures and instrument performance characteristics. The instrument performance characteristics that are provided are nonmandatory and also do not provide the same level of quality assurance as the EPA methods. For example, the zero and span/ calibration drift is only checked weekly, whereas the EPA methods requires drift checks after each run.

Two very similar standards, ASTM D5835 95, " Standard Practice for Sampling Stationary Source Emissions for Automated Determination of Gas Concentration," and ISO 10396: 1993, " Stationary Source Emissions: Sampling for the Automated Determination of Gas Concentrations," are impractical alternatives to EPA Method 3A for the purposes of this rulemaking because they lack in detail and quality assurance/ quality control requirements. Specifically, these two standards do not include the following: 1) sensitivity of the method; 2) acceptable levels of analyzer calibration error; 3) acceptable levels of sampling system bias; 4) zero drift and calibration drift limits, time span, and required testing frequency; 5) a method to test the interference response of the analyzer; 6) procedures to determine the minimum sampling time per run and minimum measurement time;

and 7) specifications for data recorders, in terms of resolution ( all types) and recording intervals ( digital and analog recorders, only).

The voluntary consensus standard ISO 12039: 2001, 224 " Stationary Source Emissions Determination of Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, and Oxygen Automated Methods," is not acceptable as an alternative to EPA Method 3A. This ISO standard is similar to EPA Method 3A, but is missing some key features. In terms of sampling, the hardware required by ISO 12039: 2001 does not include a 3 way calibration valve assembly or equivalent to block the sample gas flow while calibration gases are introduced. In its calibration procedures, ISO 12039: 2001 only specifies a two point calibration while EPA Method 3A specifies a three point calibration. Also, ISO 12039: 2001 does not specify performance criteria for calibration error, calibration drift, or sampling system bias tests as in the EPA method,

although checks of these quality control features are required by the ISO standard.

The voluntary consensus standard ASTM D6060 96 ( 2001),

" Practice for Sampling of Process Vents with a Portable Gas Chromatograph," is an impractical alternative for EPA Method 18 for the purposes of this rulemaking because this standard lacks key quality control and assurance requirements included in EPA Method 18. For example, ASTM D6060: 1) lacks the requirement of three reference standards in triplicate; 2) lacks the calibration acceptance criteria that the triplicate calibration standards agree within 5 percent of their average; 3) lacks a post sampling volume flow rate check and requirement to repeat the test if the 225 pre and post test flowrates differ by more than 20 percent;

4) lacks triplicate samples for recovery tests and allows a 15 percent difference between the pre test and recovery test data vs. 10 percent for Method 18; 4) lacks the accuracy performance criteria of 10 percent of the preparation value for audit samples; 5) lacks reporting/ documentation requirements. Also, ASTM D6060 does not include procedures for sample collection using other media, such as bags and solid sorbents.

Two voluntary consensus standards, EN 12619: 1999 " Stationary Source Emissions Determination of the Mass Concentration of Total Gaseous Organic Carbon at Low Concentrations in Flue Gases Continuous Flame Ionization Detector Method" and ISO 14965: 2000( E) " Air Quality

Determination of Total Nonmethane Organic Compounds

Cryogenic Preconcentration and Direct Flame Ionization Method," are impractical alternatives to EPA Method 25A for the purposes of this rulemaking because the standards do not apply to solvent process vapors in concentrations greater than 40 ppm ( EN 12619) and 10 ppm carbon ( ISO 14965).

Methods whose upper limits are this low are too limited to be useful in measuring source emissions, which are expected to be much higher.

The voluntary consensus standard EN 13211: 2001, " Air Quality Stationary Source Emissions Determination of the Concentration of Total Mercury," is not acceptable as an 226 alternative to the mercury portion of EPA Method 29 primarily because it is not validated for use with impingers, as in the EPA method, although the method describes procedures for the use of impingers. This European standard is validated for the use of fritted bubblers only and requires the use of a side ( split) stream arrangement for isokinetic sampling because of the low sampling rate of the bubblers ( up to 3 liters per minute,

maximum). Also, only two bubblers ( or impingers) are required by EN 13211, whereas EPA Method 29 require the use of six impinges. In addition, EN 13211 does not include many of the quality control procedures of EPA Method 29,

especially for the use and calibration of temperature sensors and controllers, sampling train assembly and disassembly, and filter weighing.

Two of the 13 voluntary consensus standards identified in the search were not available at the time the review was conducted for the purposes of the final rule because they are under development by a voluntary consensus standards organizational body: ASME/ BSR MFC 13M, " Flow Measurement by Velocity Traverse," for EPA Method 2 ( and possibly 1); and ASME/ BSR MFC 12M, " Flow in Closed Conduits Using Multiport Averaging Pitot Primary Flowmeters," for EPA Method 2.

Table 4 to 40 CFR part 63 subpart DDDD lists the EPA testing methods included in the regulation. Under § 63.7( f)

and § 63.8( f) of Subpart A of the General Provisions, a 227 source may apply to EPA for permission to use alternative test methods or alternative monitoring requirements in place of any of the EPA testing methods, performance specifications, or procedures.

J. Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U. S. C. § 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U. S. Senate, the U. S.

House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is a " major rule" as defined by 5 U. S. C. § 804( 2).

This rule will be effective [ INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE FINAL RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].

This subpart establishes national compliance options,

operating requirements, and work practice requirements for hazardous air pollutants ( HAP) emitted from plywood and composite wood products manufacturing facilities. This subpart also establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with the compliance options, 5 operating requirements, and work practice requirements.

§ 63.2231 Does this subpart apply to me?

This subpart applies to you if you meet the criteria in paragraphs ( a) and ( b) of this section.

( a) You own or operate a plywood and composite wood products ( PCWP) manufacturing facility. A PCWP manufacturing facility is a facility that manufactures plywood and/ or composite wood products by bonding wood material ( fibers, particles, strands, veneers, etc.) or agricultural fiber, generally with resin under heat and pressure, to form a structural panel or engineered wood product. Plywood and composite wood products manufacturing facilities also include facilities that manufacture dry veneer and lumber kilns located at any facility. Plywood and composite wood products include ( but are not limited to)

plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented strandboard,

hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, laminated strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I joists,

kilndried lumber, and glue laminated beams.

( b) The PCWP manufacturing facility is located at a major source of HAP emissions. A major source of HAP emissions is any stationary source or group of stationary sources within a contiguous area and under common control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams ( 10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 megagrams ( 25 tons) or 6 more per year.

§ 63.2232 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?

( a) This rule applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing affected source at a PCWP manufacturing facility.

( b) The affected source is the collection of dryers,

refiners, blenders, formers, presses, board coolers, and other process units associated with the manufacturing of plywood and composite wood products. The affected source includes, but is not limited to, green end operations,

refining, drying operations, resin preparation, blending and forming operations, pressing and board cooling operations,

and miscellaneous finishing operations ( such as sanding,

sawing, patching, edge sealing, and other finishing operations not subject to other NESHAP). The affected source also includes onsite storage and preparation of raw materials used in the manufacture of plywood and/ or composite wood products, such as resins; onsite wastewater treatment operations specifically associated with plywood and composite wood products manufacturing; and miscellaneous coating operations ( defined in § 63.2292). The affected source includes lumber kilns at PCWP manufacturing facilities and at any other kind of facility.

( c) An affected source is a new affected source if you commenced construction of the affected source after January 9, 2003, and you meet the applicability criteria at the time you commenced construction. 7 ( d) An affected source is reconstructed if you meet the criteria as defined in § 63.2.

( e) An affected source is existing if it is not new or reconstructed.

§ 63.2233 When do I have to comply with this subpart?

( a) If you have a new or reconstructed affected source, you must comply with this subpart according to paragraph ( a)( 1) or ( 2) of this section, whichever is applicable.

( 1) If the initial startup of your affected source is before the effective date of the subpart, then you must comply with the compliance options, operating requirements,

and work practice requirements for new and reconstructed sources in this subpart no later than the effective date of the subpart.

( 2) If the initial startup of your affected source is after the effective date of the subpart, then you must comply with the compliance options, operating requirements,

and work practice requirements for new and reconstructed sources in this subpart upon initial startup of your affected source.

( b) If you have an existing affected source, you must comply with the compliance options, operating requirements,

and work practice requirements for existing sources no later than the date 3 years after the effective date of the subpart. 8 ( c) If you have an area source that increases its emissions or its potential to emit such that it becomes a major source of HAP, you must be in compliance with this subpart by the date 3 years after the effective date of the subpart or upon initial startup of your affected source as a major source, whichever is later.

( d) You must meet the notification requirements according to the schedule in § 63.2280 and according to 40 CFR part 63, subpart A. Some of the notifications must be submitted before you are required to comply with the compliance options, operating requirements, and work practice requirements in this subpart.

Compliance Options, Operating Requirements, and Work Practice Requirements § 63.2240 What are the compliance options and operating requirements and how must I meet them?

You must meet the compliance options and operating requirements described in Tables 1A, 1B, and 2 of this subpart and in paragraph ( c) of this section by using one or more of the compliance options listed in paragraphs ( a),

( b), and ( c) of this section. The process units subject to the compliance options are listed in Tables 1A and 1B and are defined in § 63.2292. You need only to meet one of the compliance options outlined in paragraphs ( a) through ( c) of this section for each process unit. You cannot combine 9 compliance options in paragraphs ( a), ( b), or ( c) for a single process unit. ( For example, you cannot use a production based compliance option in paragraph ( a) for one vent of a veneer dryer and an add on control system compliance option in paragraph ( b) for another vent on the same veneer dryer. You must use either the production based compliance option or an add on control system compliance option for the entire dryer.)

( a) Production based compliance options. You must meet the production based total HAP compliance options in Table 1A of this subpart and the applicable operating requirements in Table 2 of this subpart. You may not use an add on control system or wet control device to meet the production based compliance options.

( b) Compliance options for add on control systems.

You must use an emissions control system and demonstrate that the resulting emissions meet the compliance options and operating requirements in Tables 1B and 2 of this subpart.

If you own or operate a reconstituted wood product press at a new or existing affected source or a reconstituted wood product board cooler at a new affected source, and you choose to comply with one of the concentration based compliance options for a control system outlet ( presented as option numbers 2, 4, and 6 in Table 1B of this subpart), you must have a capture device that either meets the definition of wood products enclosure in § 63.2292 or achieves a capture 10 efficiency of greater than or equal to 95 percent.

( c) Emissions averaging compliance option ( for existing sources only). Using the procedures in paragraphs ( c)( 1) through ( 3) of this section, you must demonstrate that emissions included in the emissions average meet the compliance options and operating requirements. New sources may not use emissions averaging to comply with this subpart.

( 1) Calculation of required and actual mass removal.

Limit emissions of total HAP, as defined in § 63.2292, to include acetaldehyde, acrolein, formaldehyde, methanol,

phenol, and propionaldehyde from your affected source to the standard specified by Equations 1, 2, and 3 of this section.

     =

090 1 .

( Eq. 2) AMR CD OCEP OH i i i i 1 n = × ×

     =

( Eq. 3) AMR RMR

Where:

RMR = required mass removal of total HAP from all process units generating debits ( i. e., all process units that are subject to the compliance options in Tables 1A and 1B of this subpart and that are either uncontrolled or under controlled), pounds per semiannual period AMR = actual mass removal of total HAP from all process units generating credits ( i. e., all 11 process units that are controlled as part of the Emissions Averaging Plan including credits from debit generating process units that are under controlled), pounds per semiannual period UCEPi = mass of total HAP from an uncontrolled or under controlled process unit ( i) that generates debits, pounds per hour OHi = number of hours a process unit ( i) is operated during the semiannual period, hours per 6 month period CDi = control system efficiency for the emission point ( i) for total HAP, expressed as a fraction, and not to exceed 90 percent, unitless [ Note: To calculate the control system efficiency of biological treatment units that do not meet the definition of biofilter in § 63.2292 of this subpart, you must use 40 CFR, part 63, Appendix C, Determination of the Fraction Biodegraded ( Fbio) in a Biological Treatment Unit.] OCEPi = mass of total HAP from a process unit ( i) that generates credits ( including credits from debit generating process units that are undercontrolled pounds per hour 0.90 = required control system efficiency of 90 percent multiplied, unitless ( 2) Requirements for debits and credits. You must calculate debits and credits as specified in paragraphs ( c)( 2)( i) through ( vi) of this section.

( i) You must limit process units in the emissions average to those process units located at the existing affected source, as defined in § 63.2292.

( ii) You cannot use nonoperating process units to generate emissions averaging credits. You cannot use process units that are shut down to generate emissions averaging debits or credits.

( iii) You may not include in your emissions average process units controlled to comply with a State, Tribal, or 12 Federal rule other than this subpart.

( iv) You must use actual measurements of total HAP emissions from process units to calculate your required mass removal ( RMR) and actual mass removal ( AMR). The total HAP measurements must be obtained according to § 63.2262( b)

through ( d), ( g), and ( h), using the methods specified in Table 4 of this subpart.

( v) Your initial demonstration that the creditgenerating process units will be capable of generating enough credits to offset the debits from the debitgenerating process units must be made under representative operating conditions. After the compliance date, you must use actual operating data for all debit and credit calculations.

( vi) Do not include emissions from the following time periods in your emissions averaging calculations:

( A) Emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction as described in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan ( SSMP).

( B) Emissions during periods of monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control activities or during periods of control device maintenance covered in your routine control device maintenance exemption. No credits may be assigned to credit generating process units, and maximum debits must be assigned to debit generating process units during these 13 periods.

( 3) Operating requirements. You must meet the operating requirements in Table 2 of this subpart for each process unit or control device used in calculation of emissions averaging credits.

§ 63.2241 What are the work practice requirements and how must I meet them?

( a) You must meet each work practice requirement in Table 3 of this subpart that applies to you.

( b) As provided in § 63.6( g), we, the EPA, may choose to grant you permission to use an alternative to the work practice requirements in this section.

( c) If you have a dry rotary dryer, you may choose to designate your dry rotary dryer as a green rotary dryer and meet the more stringent compliance options and operating requirements in § 63.2240 for green rotary dryers instead of the work practices for dry rotary dryers. If you have a hardwood veneer dryer or veneer redryer, you may choose to designate your hardwood veneer dryer or veneer redryer as a softwood veneer dryer and meet the more stringent compliance options and operating requirements in § 63.2240 for softwood veneer dryer heated zones instead of the work practices for hardwood veneer dryers or veneer redryers.

General Compliance Requirements § 63.2250 What are the general requirements?

( a) You must be in compliance with the compliance 14 options, operating requirements, and the work practice requirements in this subpart at all times, except during periods of process unit or control device startup, shutdown,

and malfunction; prior to process unit initial startup; and during the routine control device maintenance exemption specified in § 63.2251. The compliance options, operating requirements, and work practice requirements do not apply during times when the process unit( s) subject to the compliance options, operating requirements, and work practice requirements are not operating, or during scheduled startup and shutdown periods, and during malfunctions.

These startup and shutdown periods must not exceed the minimum amount of time necessary for these events.

( b) You must always operate and maintain your affected source, including air pollution control and monitoring equipment, according to the provisions in § 63.6( e)( 1)( i).

( c) You must develop and implement a written SSMP according to the provisions in § 63.6( e)( 3).

( d) Shutoff of direct fired burners resulting from partial and full production stoppages of direct fired softwood veneer dryers or over temperature events shall be deemed shutdowns and not malfunctions. Lighting or relighting any one or all gas burners in direct fired softwood veneer dryers shall be deemed startups and not malfunctions.

§ 63.2251 What are the requirements for the routine control device maintenance exemption? 15 ( a) You may request a routine control device maintenance exemption from the Administrator for routine maintenance events such as control device bakeouts,

washouts, media replacement, and replacement of corroded parts. Your request must justify the need for the routine maintenance on the control device and the time required to accomplish the maintenance activities, describe the maintenance activities and the frequency of the maintenance activities, explain why the maintenance cannot be accomplished during process shutdowns, describe how you plan to make reasonable efforts to minimize emissions during the maintenance, and provide any other documentation required by the Administrator.

( b) The routine control device maintenance exemption must not exceed the percentages of process unit operating uptime in paragraphs ( b)( 1) and ( 2) of this section.

( 1) If the control device is used to control a green rotary dryer, tube dryer, rotary strand dryer, or pressurized refiner, then the routine control device maintenance exemption must not exceed 3 percent of annual operating uptime for each process unit controlled.

( 2) If the control device is used to control a softwood veneer dryer, reconstituted wood product press,

reconstituted wood product board cooler, hardboard oven,

press predryer, conveyor strand dryer, or fiberboard mat dryer, then the routine control device maintenance exemption 16 must not exceed 0.5 percent of annual operating uptime for each process unit controlled.

( 3) If the control device is used to control a combination of equipment listed in both paragraphs ( b)( 1)

and ( 2) of this section, such as a tube dryer and a reconstituted wood product press, then the routine control device maintenance exemption must not exceed 3 percent of annual operating uptime for each process unit controlled.

( c) The request for the routine control device maintenance exemption, if approved by the Administrator,

must be incorporated by reference in and attached to the affected source's title V permit.

( d) The compliance options and operating requirements do not apply during times when control device maintenance covered under your approved routine control device maintenance exemption is performed. You must minimize emissions to the greatest extent possible during these routine control device maintenance periods.

( e) To the extent practical, startup and shutdown of emission control systems must be scheduled during times when process equipment is also shut down.

Initial Compliance Requirements § 63.2260 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the compliance options, operating requirements, and work practice requirements?

( a) To demonstrate initial compliance with the 17 compliance options and operating requirements, you must conduct performance tests and establish each site specific operating requirement in Table 2 of this subpart according to the requirements in § 63.2262 and Table 4 of this subpart.

Combustion units that accept process exhausts into the flame zone are exempt from the initial performance testing and


Comment Info: =================

General Comment:I am 43 years old and have been smoking cigarettes since I was eleven years old, before tobacco was restricted.  In my life I have tried to be tobacco free many times.  I have tried Welbutrin,when it was the standard, have been on nicotine patches, nicotine gum, nicotine lozenges.  I have tried everything short of Chantix, and the only reason I did not try Chantix was after an evaluation from my doctor, he said the way I depended on nicotine, he was afraid I would be one of the few that had a psychotic break if I was put on chantix.  I accept that I will be addicted to nicotine likely forever, however I do not want to be dependent on cigarettes, because of the extra carcinogens and damage to my lungs that it involves.  Vaping is the only option that has ever remotely worked for me.  This is the first time in almost 33 years of smoking that I have been cigarette free.  Please rethink what you want to do to the vaping industry.  For some of us, it is our only hope.  A 75 day comment period is insufficient time for the vaping industry and the wider vaping community to comment on the proposed deeming regulations. I would respectfully request that the period for comment be extended to 180 days. Thank you.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires any person
who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) a new
chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Chemical Substances
Inventory (TSCA Inventory)) to notify EPA and comply with the statutory
provisions pertaining to the manufacture of new chemicals. In addition
under TSCA, EPA is required to publish in the Federal Register a notice
of receipt of a premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a
test marketing exemption (TME), and to publish in the Federal Register
periodic status reports on the new chemicals under review and the
receipt of notices of commencement (NOC) to manufacture those
chemicals. This document, which covers the period from August 20, 2012
to September 7, 2012, and provides the required notice and status
report, consists of the PMNs and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the
NOC to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under
TSCA section 5 during this time period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the PMNs addressed in this action.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Why is EPA taking this action?

    EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ``existing''
chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any chemical substance that is not on
EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as a ``new chemical,'' while those
that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ``existing
chemical.'' For more information about the TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to
manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a
PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes
EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes
import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is referred to as a test
marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the
requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status
reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from August 20, 2012 to September 7, 2012, consists of the PMNs
and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture a new
chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this
time period.

III. Receipt and Status Reports

    In Table I. of this unit, EPA provides the following information
(to the extent that such information is not claimed as CBI) on the PMNs
received by EPA during this period: The EPA case number assigned to the
PMN, the date the PMN was received by EPA, the projected end date for
EPA's review of the PMN, the submitting manufacturer/importer, the
potential uses identified by the manufacturer/importer in the PMN, and
