              BTF ANALYSIS FOR HNR HRSG BYPASS/WASTE HEAT STACKS

	An additional BTF analysis for the HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks was conducted based on ACI control for Hg and baghouse control for non-Hg metal HAP. Calculations are provided in the accompanying Microsoft Excel(R) file.

D.1 Input Parameters for BTF Controls for HNR HRSG Bypass/Waste Heat Stacks

	The actual and standard exhaust flowrates and stack temperatures (°F) were compiled from the coke oven stack testing of Hg, PM, AG, Total PAH, and Formaldehyde at the HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stack sources. Overall average exhaust flowrates and stack temperature were calculated from the stack tests to use as inputs for calculating BTF controls for HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stack sources. Table D-1 shows the average stack parameters for the HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stack sources. Copies of the coke oven stack test data are included in the coke oven PQBS docket (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0085). The flowrates used for SC-Vansant-VA waste heat stacks were further adjusted to account for the oven per stack ratio, similarly to how the TPY emissions were adjusted, as described in the Coke Ovens Risk and Technology Review: Data Summary memorandum ( EPA, 2023A).

D.2 Development of Unit Costs for Ductwork for BTF Controls for HNR HRSG Bypass/Waste Heat Stacks

      It was assumed that SC-EastChicago-IN and SC-Vansant-VA will duct eight of their sixteen HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks together and route to a series of air pollution control devices, for a set of two APCD configurations per facility; SC-GraniteCity-IL will duct their six HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks together and route to a series of air pollution control devices, for one APCD configuration; SC-FranklinFurnace-OH will duct five of their ten HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks together and route to a series of air pollution control devices, for a set of two APCD configurations; and SC-Middletown-OH will duct their five HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks together and route to a series of air pollution control devices, for one APCD configuration.

      The ductwork cost model from the Ferroalloy NESHAP RTR (EPA, 2015) was used to develop unit costs for HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks using specific data available for the coke industry. Table D-2 shows the ductwork unit costs for HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks.

D.4 BTF Costs for HNR HRSG Bypass/Waste Heat Stacks

      It was assumed that the coke facilities will duct either five, six, or eight of their HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks together and route to one BTF APCD configuration. The unit APCD costs were multiplied by the required number of APCD configurations to calculate the total BTF HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stack costs per facility. The total BTF HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stack costs are shown in Table D-5.

D.5 BTF Emission Reductions for HNR HRSG Bypass/Waste Heat Stacks

      Baseline emissions were estimated from coke oven CAA section 114 requests data. The coke oven stack test data were used to develop industry average Hg, PM, and non-Hg metal HAP lb/hr default values for the units that were not tested, as shown in Table D-6.

                 Table D-6. HNR HRSG Bypass/Waste Heat Stack

      The lb/hr coke emission factor for each HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stack source (i.e., coke oven test data or default emission factor) were multiplied by each source's corresponding annual operating hours (hours/year), as shown in Table D-7, and then divided by 2,000 to calculate TPY emissions.

      The TPY emissions for SC-Vansant-VA were further adjusted to account for the oven per stack ratio, as described in the Coke Ovens Risk and Technology Review: Data Summary memorandum ( EPA, 2023A). The baseline PM and HAP emissions for HNR HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks were summed for each facility. Table D-8 shows the baseline emissions.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2014-0732]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone, Tarague Basin; Anderson AFB, GU

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Interim rule and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone in the waters
off of Tarague Basin, Anderson AFB, Guam, for the safety of waterway
users, during U.S. Air Force explosive ordnance disposal operations.
The U.S. Air Force plans to engage in explosive ordnance disposal
operations starting in August 2014, and continue to do so at varying
times weekly, for an indefinite duration. The safety zone is activated,
and therefore subject to enforcement, during these operations. When the
safety zone is activated for enforcement, all entry into the safety
zone (including vessels and persons) is prohibited except by permission
from the Captain of the Port or his designated representative. The
Coast Guard is implementing this interim rule for the safety of
mariners; we encourage comments on this rulemaking as to how we may
improve the rule.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice September 9, 2014.
For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from August
22, 2014, until September 9, 2014. Comments and related material must
be received by the Coast Guard on or before November 10, 2014.

time and place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this interim rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard received notice of these explosive ordnance disposal
operations on August 4, 2014. The first operation was scheduled for
August 8, 2014. Due to this late notice, the Coast Guard did not have
time to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register due to the late notice and inherent
danger in explosive ordnance disposal. Delaying the effective period of
this safety zone would be contrary to the public interest.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The statutory basis for this rulemaking is 33 U.S.C. 1231, which
gives the Coast Guard, under a delegation from the Secretary of
Homeland Security, regulatory authority to implement the Ports and
Waterways Safety Act. A safety zone is a water area, shore area, or
water and shore area, for which access is limited to authorized person,
vehicles, or vessels for safety or environmental purposes.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to protect mariners from the
potential hazards associated with U.S. Air Force explosive ordnance
disposal operations. Approaching too close to such operations could
expose the mariner to flying debris or other hazardous conditions.

D. Discussion of the Interim Rule

    The Coast Guard was recently made aware that the U.S. Air Force
plans to engage in explosive ordnance disposal operations, in the
vicinity of Tarague Basin, starting in August 2014, and continue to do
so at varying times weekly, for an indefinite duration. In order to
protect the public from the hazards of the U.S. Air Force explosive
ordnance disposal, the Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone
without prior notice and opportunity to comment. This safety zone will
be enforced only at times when the orange range flag is hoisted. We
estimate the zone will be enforced approximately 6 hours a week.
    Enforcement periods will be indicated by a raised orange range flag
located on a pole located 1250 feet west of Demo Pit at 13 degrees 35
minutes 59.751 seconds North Latitude and 144 degrees 55 minutes
27.4476 seconds East Longitude. These explosive ordnance disposals
will, under normal circumstances happen during daylight hours. In case
of an emergency explosive ordnance disposal after daylight hours may
occur and the orange range flag will be illuminated.
    For the purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from
August 22, 2014, until this interim rule is published, September 9,
2014, to inform those near the area of the rule. After publication of
this rule, we will rely on constructive notice. The first scheduled
operation was 7:15 a.m. on August 8, 2014 (Kilo, Local Time).
    The Coast Guard is requesting public comment on this interim rule.
Please submit any comments and related material on or before November
10, 2014. We may amend or otherwise change the interim rule based on
your comments.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard expects
the economic impact of this rule to be extremely minimal based on the
limited geographic area affected and the limited enforcement times of
the safety zone.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This safety zone will only be enforced during U.S. Air Force explosive
ordnance disposal operations. This zone will encompass one mile arc in
the water, from the center point, allowing for safe vessel passage
outside of the zone.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the ``For Further
Information Contact'' section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without

jeopardizing the safety or security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the closure of the waterfront around
Tarague Basin for approximately 6 hours a week. This rule is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination will be made available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.
