CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51; 40 CFR 93 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The transportation conformity rule, promulgated in November 1993, ensures that transportation and air quality planning are consistent with Clean Air Act air quality standards. The Open Market Trading Guidance provides guidance to states for establishing a method to quantify emissions reductions ( called discrete emissions reductions or DERs) that can be traded among parties and how such trading should occur. This action will amend the transportation conformity rule to clarify how emissions trading could be reconciled in the conformity process.

INSPECTION MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL FACILITIES; AMENDMENT TO THE FINAL RULE Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 23 USC 101; 42 USC 7401 et seq CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51 ( Revision); 40 CFR 93 ( New)

Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) has had oversight and policy development authority for Inspection and Maintenance ( I/ M) programs since the passage of the Clean Air Act ( CAA) in 1970. The 1977 amendments to the CAA mandated I/ M for certain areas with long term air quality problems and the 1990 amendments set forth standards for implementation of I/ M programs. EPA used the statutory requirements of the Act, including I/ M requirements for Federal facilities, to promulgate regulations which states would use in the development of their I/ M State Implementation Plans ( SIPs). Those rule requirements effectively gave States certain authorities over the Federal government. The Department of Justice has now ruled that Federal sovereign immunity was not fully waived under the CAA for those requirements and EPA should amend its rule to remove the requirement that States include those elements in their SIPs. EPA is proposing to: ( 1) Amend the Federal facilities I/ M requirements by removing that section; ( 2) correct existing I/ M SIP approval actions which include these elements; ( 3) establish new Federal facilities I/ M program requirements which Federal facilities in I/ M program areas must meet in order to comply with the Act; and ( 4) designate for each State which section of the Act Federal agencies must comply with based on how that State promulgated its I/ M regulations. These changes will have minimal to no impact on the States as no new requirements are being created. The States are under no obligation, legal or otherwise, to modify existing SIPs meeting the previously applicable requirements as a result of this action, nor will emissions reduction credit be affected. However, the changes will clarify for affected Federal facilities what they must do to meet the CAA requirements by establishing new regulations per those requirements.

RESCINDING FINDING THAT PRE EXISTING PM10 STANDARDS ARE NO LONGER APPLICABLE IN NORTHERN ADA COUNTY/ BOISE, IDAHO Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq CFR Citation: 40 CFR 50.6( d); 40 CFR 52.676; 40 CFR 81.313 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The EPA had previously taken action to revoke the PM 10 national ambient air quality standards ( NAAQS) for the Boise/ Ada County area in anticipation that a revised PM 10 NAAQS would soon be in place. However, the DC Circuit court subsequently vacated the revised PM 10 NAAQS, the effectiveness of which served as the underlying basis for EPA's decision to revoke the preexisting PM 10 NAAQS. Therefore, in order to protect public health in the Boise/ Ada County area, EPA is proposing to reinstate the pre existing PM 10 NAAQS. Without this action there would be no Federal PM 10 NAAQS applicable to this area. This action is tentatively subject to the terms of a settlement agreement that was signed by all parties in January 2001. A Federal Register notice of the proposed settlement requesting public comment was published January 30, 2001, in accordance with section 113( g) of the Act. No negative comments were received. EPA/ DOJ signed the settlement agreement and the State is in the process of carrying out its obligations under the settlement agreement. The State submitted its maintenance plan for Boise on 9/ 27/ 2002. Under the settlement, EPA agreed to take final action on the State's submittal by 9/ 30/ 2003.

REVISING REGULATIONS ON AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq CFR Citation: 40 CFR 50 ( Revision); 40 CFR 53 ( Revision); 40 CFR 58 ( Revision) Legal Deadline: None Abstract: Air pollution control authorities use air quality data to determine compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and in subsequent work to develop air pollution mitigation strategies. The data come primarily from ambient air monitoring stations run by state and local agencies, although federal, tribal, and industrial organizations also run stations. The design of the monitoring networks is regulated under 40 CFR 58. This rule was originally written in 1979 and several revisions have been made in the intervening years. Air pollution control authorities have improved their parts of the network in response to changes in air quality, advances in the understanding of the movements and health effects of air pollutants, and developments in air pollution measurement technology. EPA has also cooperated with air pollution control authorities to improve the networks, but we have not revised the applicable regulations comprehensively. The proposed revisions would remove real or perceived constraints on redeploying air monitoring stations; more accurately reflect the roles of EPA and other control authorities in designing, reviewing, and modifying networks; bring provisions related to quality assurance up to date; and recognize technological changes. The current regulations require states to develop plans to deploy air monitoring networks, but they do not emphasize administering the networks. States generally develop new plans only when new monitoring is needed, such as for a new NAAQS. The regulations need to be revised to reflect the roles of EPA and the state and local agencies.

CONTROL OF AIR POLLUTION FROM MOTOR VEHICLES AND ENGINES: ALTERNATIVE LOWSULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL TRANSITION PROGRAM FOR ALASKA Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7414; 42 USC 7545; 42 USC 7601( a); 42 USC 7625 1 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 69 and 80 ( Revision) Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This action will carry out a flexibility provision for Alaska that was included in EPA's heavy duty diesel rule, which was promulgated on January 18, 2001. That rule established more stringent national emission standards for heavy duty highway vehicles and engines for the 2007 model year, and a technology enabling sulfur limit of 15 ppm for highway diesel fuel beginning in 2006. In that rule, EPA recognized Alaska's unique geographical, meteorological, air quality, and economic factors and provided Alaska an opportunity to develop its own plan to transition to low sulfur highway diesel fuel, as an alternative to the national transition program. Our goal in offering this flexibility is to transition Alaska into the low sulfur fuel program in a manner that minimizes costs, while ensuring that the new vehicles and engines receive the low sulfur fuel they need. As stated in the Federal Register notice for the diesel rule, if Alaska submits an alternative plan by April 1, 2002, and if EPA determines that it provides a reasonable alternative, EPA intends to initiate rulemaking and, within one year from the date of Alaska's submittal, promulgate a final rule to incorporate the alternative plan. A stakeholder process to develop options is already underway in Alaska, and the State informed EPA that it intends to submit an alternative transition plan in late 2001 or early 2002. This action will be in response to that anticipated submittal.

MODIFICATION OF AUTHORITY TO GRANT ALTERNATIVE METHOD APPROVALS Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined Legal Deadline: None Abstract: Currently, stationary source regulations cite specific test methods to demonstrate compliance. If a source locates a test method which will measure the regulated pollutant( s) with similar precision and accuracy to the method cited in the regulation, and would like to use the alternative method, the source must petition the EPA ( along with data documenting the applicability of the alternative) to allow the alternative method. Each of these alternative method approvals by letter may currently only be granted to a specific source. Source category wide approvals must be published for comment in the Federal Register. Due to budgetary and time constraints, the process constrains industry trade associations from developing and submitting alternative test methods. Therefore, the purpose of this rulemaking is to modify the regulations to allow source category wide alternative method approvals to be issued by letter.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONTINUOUS PARAMETER MONITORING SYSTEMS Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq CFR Citation: 40 CFR 60 app B; 40 CFR 60 app F Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This action proposes Performance Specification 17 ( PS 17), Quality Assurance ( QA) Procedure 4, and amendments to appendix F, QA Procedure 1. Performance Specification 17 and QA Procedure 4 apply to continuous parameter monitoring systems ( CPMS). Many of the rules promulgated under 40 CFR part 63 require owners and operators of affected emission units to install and operate CPMS to monitor various parameters, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and pH, associated with the operation and performance of emission control devices. However, few, if any, of those rules specify complete procedures for ensuring the quality of the data measured by CPMS. The proposed PS 17 establishes procedures and other requirements that will ensure that those CPMS are properly selected, installed, and placed into operation. The proposed QA Procedure 4 specifies procedures that will ensure that those CPMS provide quality data on an ongoing basis. Both PS 17 and QA Procedure 4 will help to ensure compliance with emission limitations established under 40 CFR part 63. Procedure 1 of appendix F currently addresses QA procedures for continuous emission monitoring systems ( CEMS) that measure a single pollutant. The proposed amendments to QA Procedure 1 broadens the procedure to address the unique requirements of CEMS that are used for monitoring multiple pollutants. Because several of the regulations promulgated under 40 CFR part 63 require multiple pollutant CEMS, these amendments are needed to ensure those CEMS are operated in a manner that ensures the quality of the emission data collected. This action is not expected to have any impacts on small entities or State, local, or tribal governments.

MODIFICATION OF ANTIDUMPING BASELINES FOR GASOLINE PRODUCED OR IMPORTED FOR USE IN HAWAII, ALASKA, AND THE U. S. TERRITORIES Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7414; 42 USC 7545; 42 USC 7601( a) CFR Citation: 40 CFR 80 ( Revision) Legal Deadline: None Abstract: `` Dumping'' refers to the practice whereby refiners making clean fuels for certain markets ( such as reformulated gasoline for clean air purposes) take the pollutants removed from the clean fuels and `` dump'' them into other fuels they are producing for other markets. This, if allowed, would make those other fuels even dirtier than before, and so the Clean Air Act prohibits this practice. EPA has existing `` anti dumping'' rules on the books that codify this Clean Air Act prohibition. This action proposes to allow refiners and importers of conventional gasoline produced or imported for use in Hawaii, Alaska, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to petition EPA to modify their baselines to use the most appropriate seasonal baseline and Complex Model for purposes of compliance with the RFG program's anti dumping requirements. Specifically, this action would allow refiners and importers to petition EPA to use the summer Complex Model for all anti dumping baseline and compliance determinations for conventional gasoline produced or imported for use in Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This action would allow refiners and importers to petition EPA to use the winter Complex Model for all anti dumping baseline and compliance purposes in Alaska. We are proposing this action to address certain inconsistencies in the RFG program's anti dumping provisions which may have significant unintended negative impacts on refiners and importers. In addition, this action proposes to modify the anti dumping provisions to address compliance in certain situations where a refinery becomes non operational during the annual averaging period. This action is intended to address compliance issues where a refinery does not produce sufficient `` summer'' gasoline to offset the higher emissions of `` winter'' gasoline due to the refinery becoming non operational during the annual averaging period. Today's proposed actions would not compromise the environmental goals of the RFG program, or result in any environmental degradation. Today's proposed actions would not have any negative impact on small businesses or state/ local/ tribal governments. Timetable:

PERFORMANCE BASED MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR FUELS: CRITERIA FOR SELF QUALIFYING ALTERNATIVE TEST METHODS; DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONAL STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7545 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 80 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: Transportation fuels ( like gasoline and diesel fuel) are regulated by EPA under the Clean Air Act to control the emissions that result when they are burned in engines, and also to protect engines' emission control equipment. Fuels regulations require measurement of various of the fuels' properties, and prescribe `` designated'' analytical methods for that purpose. This regulation is intended to provide a way for regulated parties to selfqualify alternatives to the designated measurement methods that may be cheaper, quicker, simpler, more amenable to automation, or otherwise preferable. The regulation will also prescribe a minimum level of statistical quality control for all fuels test methods, designated or alternative. The regulations should quicken the adoption of new measurement technologies by removing the need for multiple method specific rule makings, but to do so in a way that will not degrade the performance of the overall measurement system.

AMENDMENT TO SUBPARTS H AND I FOR EMISSIONS OF RADIONUCLIDES OTHER THAN RADON FROM DOE FACILITIES Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: PL 95 95; CAAA 112( g) and 112( q)

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 61 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: Subparts H and I of 40 CFR part 61 establish standards under the Clean Air Act for emissions of radionuclides other than radon from Department of Energy ( DOE) and other non DOE federal facilities. Under subparts H and I, regulated entities currently determine compliance with the emission standards by utilizing the approved computer models CAP88 and AIRDOS PC or any other procedures for which EPA has granted prior approval. Since promulgation of subparts H and I, EPA has developed an additional model, GENII NESHAPS, which is suitable for regulated entities to use to determine compliance, in addition to the currently approved models mentioned above. The model was developed to incorporate the internal dosimetry models recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection ( ICRP) and the VerDate May< 05> 2003 14: 34 May 16, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 1254 Sfmt 1254 D:\ UNIFIED\ PRESSD~ 1\ UA030424.

OVERVIEW OF RULEMAKINGS FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING INTERSTATE OZONE TRANSPORT Priority: Economically Significant. Major under 5 USC 801. Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The Clean Air Act ( CAA) requires that a state implementation plan ( SIP) contain provisions to prevent a States' facilities or sources from contributing significantly to air pollution that is transported downwind to other States, exacerbating their inability to meet the national ambient air quality standards for ozone. Through a two year effort known as the Ozone Transport Assessment Group ( OTAG), EPA worked in partnership with the 37 easternmost States and the District of Columbia, industry representatives, and environmental groups to address ozone precursor and ozone transport. This multiyear collaboration resulted in the most comprehensive analysis of ozone transport ever conducted. The OTAG States voted in favor of a range of strategies to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from utilities and other major sources. Building on the recommendations of OTAG, EPA issued a rule known as the NOx SIP Call ( 10/ 27/ 98, 63 FR 57355) requiring 22 States and the District of Columbia to submit revisions to their SIPs to address the regional transport of nitrogen oxides ( a precursor to ozone formation known as NOx). By reducing emissions of NOx, the actions directed by these plans will decrease the formation and transport of ozone across State boundaries in the eastern half of the United States. This rule was challenged in court, and on March 3, 2000, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a decision largely upholding the NOx SIP Call, but remanded four narrow issues to EPA for further rulemaking action. In an August 30, 2000 Court Order, emission reduction measures are required to be in place by May 31, 2004. On June 8, 2001, the Court made a related decision concerning the NOx SIP Call Technical Amendment rulemakings which largely upheld Phase I of the NOx SIP Call, but remanded one issue to EPA. EPA is now addressing the remanded issues in separate rulemakings ( see SAN 4433 and SAN 4679 in today's Regulatory Agenda). A notice of data availability was published on 8/ 3/ 01 which made new data publicly available for noticeand comment. A second notice of data availability was published in on March 11, 2002, listing additional items which were made publicly available. Final action was published on 5/ 1/ 02 ( 67 FR 21868). In addition to the SIP Call provisions, Federal Implementation Plans ( FIPs) may also be needed to reduce regional transport if any affected State fails to adequately revise its SIP to comply with the NOx SIP call ( see SAN 4096 in today's Regulatory Agenda). In addition to the SIP Call remedy, the Clean Air Act also gave States the right to petition EPA to take other Federal action to prevent ozone transport that affects downwind States. Accordingly, under section 126 of the CAA, eight northeastern States filed petitions requesting EPA to make findings and require decreases in NOx emissions. Subsequently, EPA issued a final rule on the petitions, specifying a NOx emissions trading program as the required Federal remedy ( 1/ 18/ 00, 65 FR 2764). EPA is coordinating all three approaches to regional ozone control  i. e., SIP Call, FIPs, and Section 126 actions  to avoid duplication and maximize effectiveness.

NESHAP: INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL BOILERS AND PROCESS HEATERS Priority: Economically Significant. Major under 5 USC 801.

Unfunded Mandates: This action may affect the private sector under PL 104 4.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, requires EPA to develop emission standards for sources of hazardous air pollutants ( HAPs). Industrial boilers, institutional/ commercial boilers and process heaters are among the potential source categories to be regulated under section 112 of the CAA. Emissions of HAPs will be addressed by this rulemaking for both new and existing sources. EPA promulgated an NSPS for these source categories in 1987 and 1990. The standards for the NESHAP are to be technology based and are to require the maximum achievable control technology ( MACT) as described in section 112 of the CAA.

INTERSTATE OZONE TRANSPORT: RESPONSE TO COURT DECISIONS ON THE NOX SIP CALL, NOX SIP CALL TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS, AND SECTION 126 RULES Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410( a)( 2)( D); 42 USC 7410( k)( 5)

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51 ( Revision)

Legal Deadline: None Abstract: On October 27, 1998 ( 63 FR 57355), EPA issued a rule to reduce smog in the eastern half of the country. The rule required 22 States and the District of Columbia to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides ( NOx), which reacts with other chemicals in the atmosphere to form smog. EPA required these reductions because pollution from each of these States was transported by the wind and significantly contributed to unhealthy air quality in downwind States. In response to litigation from several parties on the NOx SIP call, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a decision on March 3, 2000, making it clear that EPA and States can and should move forward to implement this regional strategy. The ruling remanded certain relatively minor portions of the original rule back to the EPA. This rulemaking covers the portion of the rule associated with the remanded issues: certain cogeneration units, internal combustion engines, the partial State requirements for Georgia and Missouri, and the exclusion of Wisconsin. In this rulemaking, EPA will consider the partial State issue for Alabama and Michigan and propose SIP submittal dates and compliance dates as well. The D. C. Circuit Court also remanded, or remanded and vacated, the cogeneration unit issue in decisions on the NOx SIP Call Technical Amendments, and section 126 rule on June 8, 2001, and May 15, 2001, respectively. These remands will also be addressed in this rulemaking. Timetable:

These concerns arise from recent information that indicate that COM readings may have an error of up to 4 percent, which in itself is greater than the 3 percent excess emissions threshold. The EPA is reconsidering the COM requirements, and may amend the NSPS to add alternative monitoring requirements.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICULATE MATTER AT STATIONARY SOURCES Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7411 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 60 app B; 40 CFR 60 app F Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This action would repropose some monitoring specifications that were originally included in an OSWER proposal to regulate air emissions from hazardous waste combustors ( as explained further below). It revises several standards and requirements related to continuous emission monitoring systems for particulate matter ( PM). These include: specifications and test procedures known as Performance Specification 11 ( PS 11), and quality assurance requirements known as `` Procedure 2.'' The proposed revisions clarify and update performance standards and monitoring requirements for facilities required to install and use continuous monitoring equipment to measure particulate matter emissions from stacks and ducts. The action does not change any emission standards or add any additional recordkeeping requirements. This action is a supplement to actions by EPA's OSWER that included proposed regulations for hazardous waste combustors. The first action was published in the Federal Register on December 30, 1997 ( 62 FR 67788). Recent OAR field studies have revealed needed revisions to PS 11 and Procedure 2. In view of the significant amount of time that has passed since the last proposal was published ( December 30, 1997) and the significant amount of knowledge we have recently gained from our field studies, we believe that a supplemental proposal and another opportunity for the public to comment on PS 11 and Procedure 2 are appropriate.

NESHAP: ASPHALT PROCESSING AND ASPHALT ROOFING MANUFACTURING Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 Legal Deadline: Final, Judicial, February 28, 2003.

Abstract: The CAA required EPA to publish an initial list of all categories of major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants ( HAPs) listed in section 112( b) of the CAA and to establish and meet dates for promulgation of emissions standards for each of the listed categories of HAP emissions sources. The standards are to be technology based and are to require the maximum degree of reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The EPA has determined that the asphalt roofing and processing industry may be reasonably anticipated to emit one or more of the pollutants listed in section 112( b) of the CAA. As a consequence, the source category is included on the initial list of HAP emitting categories scheduled for standards promulgation within ten years of enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990. The purpose of this action is to pursue a regulatory development program such that emission standards may be proposed and promulgated according to the mandated schedule.

NESHAP: REFRACTORY PRODUCTS MANUFACTURING Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412; CAA 112 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000. Final, Judicial, February 28, 2003. Abstract: The proposed rulemaking will apply to existing and new refractory products manufacturing facilities. There are approximately 8 existing refractory products manufacturing facilities in the United States located at major source facilities. It is estimated that no new refractory products manufacturing facilities will be built at least for the next 3 years. The HAP that will be reduced by this proposed rule are polycyclic organic matter ( POM), phenol, formaldehyde, methanol, and ethylene glycol. Implementation of the proposed rule would reduce emissions of air toxics by approximately 132 tons per year, a reduction of 46 percent from current levels. No significant adverse economic impact is expected to occur as a result of implementing this proposed rulemaking. The capital cost associated with the proposed rulemaking is approximately $ 3.5 million. The total annual cost of the proposed rulemaking is approximately $ 1.7 million.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act ( CAA), as amended in 1990, requires the EPA to ( 1) publish an initial list of all categories of major and area sources of the hazardous air pollutants ( HAPs) listed in section 112( b) of the CAA, ( 2) promulgate a schedule establishing a date for the promulgation of emission standards for each of the listed categories of HAPs emission sources, and ( 3) develop emission standards for each source of HAPs. These standards are to be technology based and are to require the maximum degree of emission reduction determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The Agency has determined that the application of asphalt or coal tar to metal pipes may reasonably be anticipated to emit several of the 189 HAPs listed in section 112( b) of the CAA.

Final, Judicial, February 28, 2003.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act ( CAA) requires development of emission standards for major sources emitting any of the hazardous air pollutants ( HAP) listed in section 112( b) of the CAA. The EPA is promulgating a rule to reduce emissions of toxic air pollutants from flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations. Toxic air pollutants, or air toxics, are those pollutants known, or suspected, to cause cancer and other serious health problems. EPA identified two subcategories under the flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations source category. These subcategories are loop slitter HAPbased adhesive use and flame lamination. Loop slitters are equipment at foam fabrication operations that are used to slice large foam blocks into thin sheets. Flame lamination refers to the bonding of foam to other substrates ( i. e., cloth, foam, plastic, and other materials), where the bonding agent is scorched or melted foam.

NESHAP: CHLORINE PRODUCTION Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000. Abstract: This action announces our decision not to issue regulations for the Chlorine Production source category. The source category is composed of nearly 50 facilities that produce chlorine using several different methods. We have determined that 21 of these facilities are major sources, including 20 chlor alkali plants that produce chlorine and caustic as coproducts through the electrolysis of brine, and one primary magnesium refining facility that produces chlorine as a by product of magnesium metal production. Primary magnesium refining is a separately listed source category and, as such, the one refiner will be addressed in a separate rulemaking. None of the 20 chlor alkali plants are in and of themselves major sources. All are well controlled and emit negligible amounts of chlorine and, in some cases, additional negligible amounts of hydrochloric acid. These sources are major only due to collocation. That is, they are part of larger establishments that are major sources. These larger establishments include organic chemical manufacturers, polymer and resin producers, and pulp and paper mills, all of which are already subject to one or more NESHAP. Section 112( d)( 4) gives us the discretion to consider risk in issuing MACT standards for pollutants for which a health threshold has been established, provided that the public health is protected with an ample margin of safety. Chlorine and HC1 are both threshold pollutants for which we have defined threshold values in the form of Inhalation Reference Concentrations ( RfCs). We have modeled chlorine and HC1 emissions from each of the 20 chloralkali plants and have determined that none of the plants emit chlorine or HC1 in quantities that result in human exposures in the ambient air at levels approaching the threshold values. Therefore, we conclude that no further control or regulation is necessary. NOTE: Three of the 20 chlor alkali plants operate mercury cells. We are addressing mercury emissions from mercury cell chlor alkali plants in a separate proposal, which is currently under development. To facilitate comment, we plan to publish both the mercury cell proposal and this action on chlorine production in the same issue of the Federal Register. Timetable:
