Appendix A to Subpart DDDDD   Methodology and Criteria for Demonstrating Eligibility for the Risk Based Provisions Specified for the Large Solid Fuel Subcategory 1. Purpose/ Introduction This appendix provides the methodology and criteria for demonstrating that your affected source is eligible for exemption from complying with the HCl emission limit and/ or excluding manganese from the total selected metals emission limit. This appendix specifies emissions testing methods that you must use to determine HCl, chlorine, and manganese emissions from the affected sources and what parts of the affected source facility must be included in the eligibility demonstration. You must determine if your facility is eligible for the risk based provisions using either a look up table analysis ( based on the look up tables included in this appendix) or using the sitespecific methodology described in the " Air Toxics Risk Assessment Guidance Reference Library" together with the criteria specified in this appendix. This appendix also specifies how and when you must obtain approval of the eligibility demonstrations for your affected source and how to show that your affected source remains eligible for the risk based provisions.

2. Who is eligible to demonstrate that they qualify for the riskbased provisions? Each new, reconstructed, or existing affected source may demonstrate that they are eligible for the risk based provisions. Section § 63.7490 of subpart DDDDD defines the affected source and explains which affected sources are new, existing, or reconstructed.

3. What parts of my facility have to be included in the riskbased eligibility demonstration? You must include every appropriate emission point within the affected source facility that emits one or more HAP in the eligibility demonstration. Alternatively, you can choose to assess only the emission points covered by subpart DDDDD. If a facility chooses this option under the lookup table approach, you must multiply the appropriate value in the lookup table by 0.5 to arrive at your allowable toxicity weighted HCl emission rate or your allowable manganese emission rate. Under the site specific risk assessment approach, you must compare the Hazard Index to the limit of 0.5.

4. How do I determine HAP emissions from my affected source? ( a) You must conduct HAP emissions tests for every appropriate emission point within the affected source facility that emits HAP according to the requirements in paragraphs ( b) through ( f) of this section and the methods specified in Table 1 of this appendix. You must test the units at your facility for MaxHourlyEmissions ER Hm = × each of the appropriate pollutants listed in Table 1.

( b) Periods when emissions tests must be conducted. ( 1) You must not conduct emissions tests during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, as specified in § 63.7( e)( 1). ( 2) You must test under worst case operating conditions as defined in this appendix. You must describe your worst case operating conditions in your performance test report for the process and control systems ( if applicable) and explain why the conditions are worst case. ( c) Number of test runs. You must conduct three separate test runs for each test required in this section, as specified in § 63.7( e)( 3). Each test run must last at least 1 hour. ( d) Sampling locations. Sampling sites must be located at the outlet of the control device, including wet control devices, and prior to any releases to the atmosphere. ( e) Collection of monitoring data for HAP control devices. During the emissions test, you must collect operating parameter monitoring system or continuous emissions monitoring system ( CEMS) data at least every 15 minutes during the entire emissions test and establish the site specific operating requirements in Table 2 of subpart DDDDD using data from the monitoring system and the procedures specified in § 63.7530 of subpart DDDDD. ( f) Nondetect data. You may treat emissions of an individual HAP as zero if all of the test runs result in a nondetect measurement and the condition in paragraph ( 1) is met for the manganese test method. Otherwise nondetect data for individual HAP must be treated as one half of the method detection limit. ( 1) For manganese measured using Method 29 in appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, you analyze samples using atomic absorption spectroscopy ( AAS). ( g) You must determine the maximum hourly emission rate for each appropriate emission point according to equation 1.

( Eq. 1 )

Where: MaxHourly = Maximu m hourly emissi ons for Emissions hydrogen chloride, chlorine, or manganese, in units of pounds per hour. Er = Emission rate ( as calculated according to Table 1 of this appendix) for hydrogen chloride, chlorine, or manganese, in units of pounds per million Btu of heat input. Hm = Maximum rated heat input capacity of appropriate emission point, in units of million Btu per hour.

5. What are the criteria for determining if my facility is eligible for the risk based provisions? ( a) Determine the HAP emissions from each appropriate emission point within the affected source facility using the procedures specified in section 4 of this appendix. ( b) Determine if your facility is eligible for either of the risk based provisions using one of the methods described in either section 6 of this appendix ( look up table analysis) or section 7 of this appendix ( site specific risk assessment).

6. How do I conduct a look up table analysis?

Use the look up tables to determine if your facility is eligible for either the exemption from the HCl emission limit or the exclusion of manganese from the total selected metals emission rate determination. ( a) HCl risk based exemption. Determine the total toxicityweighted HCl equivalent emission rate for your affected source by summing the maximum hourly HCl and CL2 emission rates ( calculated using the procedure in section ( 5)( g) of this appendix) from all sources within the facility boundary line. A toxicity weighted emission rate expressed in HCl equivalents is then calculated according to equation 1.

ERtw = E. R. HCl +( E. R. Cl2* 100) Eq. 1 where: ERtw is toxicity weighted emission rate ERHCl is the HCl emission rate in lbs/ hr ERCl2 is the Cl2 emission rate in lbs/ hr Calculated toxicity weighted emission rates will then be compared to the appropriate allowable toxicity weighted emission rate in the table. To determine the correct value from the table, a facility wide average value should be used for stack height and the minimum distance between any stack at the facility and the closest boundary of the nearest residential ( or residentially zoned) area should be used for fenceline distance. Your facility is exempt from demonstrating compliance with the HCl emission limit if your toxicity weighted emission rate, determined using the methods specified in this appendix, does not exceed the values specified in Table 2 of this appendix. Alternatively, a facility can choose to assess only the emission points covered by the subpart DDDDD. If a facility chooses this option, they must multiply the appropriate value in the lookup table by 0.5 to arrive at their allowable toxicityweighted emission rate. ( b) Manganese Exclusion. Determine the total maximum manganese emission rate for your affected source by summing the maximum hourly manganese emission rates ( calculated using the procedure in section ( 5)( g) of this appendix) for all sources within the facility boundary line. Calculated maximum manganese emission rates will then be compared to the appropriate allowable manganese emission rate in the table. To determine the correct value from the table, a facility wide average value should be used for stack height and the minimum distance between any stack at the facility and the closest boundary of the nearest residential ( or residentially zoned) area should be used for fenceline distance. Your facility is exempt from including manganese in demonstrating compliance with the total selected metals emission limit if your manganese emission rate, determined using the methods specified in this appendix, does not exceed the values specified in Table 3 of this appendix. Alternatively, a facility can choose to assess only the emission points covered by the subpart DDDDD. If a facility chooses this option, they must multiply the appropriate value in the lookup table by 0.5 to arrive at their allowable manganese emission rate.

7. How do I conduct a site specific risk assessment?

Use the tiered methodology for conducting site specific risk assessments according to the " Air Toxics Risk Assessment Guidance Reference Library" and the criteria specified in paragraphs ( a) through ( f) of this section to determine if your facility is eligible for either of the risk based provisions. You may obtain a copy of the " Air Toxics Risk Assessment Guidance Reference Library" from Each tier in the three tiered site specific risk assessment methodology results in more refined risk modeling results. You only need to complete the lowest tier that demonstrates that your facility is eligible for one or both of the risk based provisions. However, you need not conduct all tiered analyses before moving to a higher tier ( e. g., you could choose to do the tier 3 analysis first without conducting the look up table, tier 1, or tier 2 analyses). ( a) You may use an alternative method of risk assessment ( other than the methods described in the " Air Toxics Risk Assessment Guidance Reference Library") provided you request and obtain approval to use the alternative method from the EPA Administrator. The alternative method must have been subject to independent peer review. ( b) Your facility is eligible for the HCl exemption if your site specific risk assessment demonstrates that the HI from HCl and CL2 is less than one ( or 0.5 if you choose to assess only the emission points covered by subpart DDDDD). ( c) Your facility is eligible for the manganese exclusion if your site specific risk assessment demonstrates the risk from manganese emissions is less than one ( or 0.5 if you choose to assess only the emission points covered by subpart DDDDD).

8. What must my risk based eligibility demonstration contain?

( a) Your low risk demonstration must contain the information specified in paragraphs ( a)( 1) through ( 6) of this section. ( 1) Identification of each appropriate emission point at the affected source. ( 2) Dispersion parameters for each appropriate emission point including, but not limited to, the parameters listed in ( a)( 2)( i) through ( iv) below: ( i) Emission release type ( ii) Stack height, stack area, stack gas temperature, and stack gas exit velocity ( iii) Distance from each appropriate emission point to the fenceline. ( iv) Identification of any control devices used to reduce emissions from each appropriate emission point. ( 3) Emission test reports for each appropriate emission point based on the test methods specified in Table 1 of this appendix, including a description of the process parameters identified as being worst case. ( 4) Identification of the RfC values used in your sitespecific risk assessment, according to section 5( b) of this appendix. ( 5) Calculations used to determine the toxicity weighted emission rates expressed in HCl equivalents according to section 5( c) of this appendix. ( 6) Identification of the controlling process factors ( including, but not limited to, fuel type, heat input rate, type of control devices, process parameters documented as worst case conditions during the emissions testing used for your eligibility demonstration) that will become Federally enforceable permit conditions used to show that your facility remains eligible for the risk based provisions. ( b) If you use the look up table analysis in section 5 of this appendix to demonstrate that your facility is eligible for either the risk based exemption or the risk based exclusion, your eligibility demonstration must contain the information in paragraphs ( a) and ( b)( 1) through ( 3) of this section. ( 1) Calculations used to determine the average stack height of the appropriate emission points. ( 2) Identification of the appropriate emission point with the nearest distance to the closest boundary of the nearest residential ( or residentially zoned) area used for fenceline distance. ( 3) Comparison of the values in the look up tables ( Tables 2 and 3 of this appendix) to your maximum hourly emission rates. ( c) If you are using a site specific risk assessment as described in section 7 of this appendix to demonstrate that your facility is eligible, your eligibility demonstration must contain the information in paragraphs ( a) and ( c)( 1) through ( 12) of this section: ( 1) Identification of the risk assessment tier used ( tier 1, tier 2, or tier 3), or description of the approved alternative method used. ( 2) Documentation of the fate and transport model used ( such as, SCREEN3, HEM, ISCST3, etc.). ( 3) Documentation of the fate and transport model inputs, including the information described in paragraphs ( a)( 1) through ( 5) of this section converted to the dimensions required for the model and all of the following that apply: meteorological data; building, land use, and terrain data; receptor locations and population data; and other facility specific parameters input into the model. ( 4) Documentation of the fate and transport model outputs. ( 5) Documentation of exposure assessment and risk characterization calculations performed according to the " Air Toxics Risk Assessment Guidance Reference Library." ( 6) Documentation of uncertainty analysis ( required for tier 3 only) performed according to the " Air Toxics Risk Assessment Guidance Reference Library." ( 7) Comparison of each chronic inhalation TOSHI ( for respiratory effects, neurological effects, etc.) to the limit of 1, as required in section 7( c) of this appendix. ( 8) Comparison of the acute inhalation HI to the limit of 1, as required in section 7( d) of this appendix.

9. When do I have to complete and submit my risk based eligibility demonstration?

( a) If you have an existing affected source, you must complete and submit for approval your low risk demonstration no later than the date one year after the effective date of subpart DDDDD. ( b) If you have a new or reconstructed affected source that starts up before the effective date of subpart DDDDD, or an affected source that is an area source that increases its emissions or its potential to emit such that it becomes a major source of HAP before the effective date of subpart DDDDD, then you must comply with the requirements of subpart DDDDD until the eligibility demonstration that you complete and submit for approval is approved by EPA. ( c) If you have a new or reconstructed affected source that starts up after the effective date for subpart DDDDD, or an affected source that is an area source that increases its emissions or its potential to emit such that it becomes a major source of HAP after the effective date for subpart DDDDD, then you must follow the schedule in paragraphs ( 1) and ( 2) of this section. ( 1) You must complete and submit for approval a preliminary eligibility demonstration based on the information ( e. g., equipment types, estimated emission rates, etc.) used to obtain your title V permit. You must base your preliminary eligibility demonstration on the maximum emissions allowed under your title V permit. If EPA concludes that your affected source facility appears to be eligible for either risk based provision based on this preliminary eligibility demonstration, then your may start up your new affected source without either complying with the HCl emission limit and corresponding compliance requirements in subpart DDDDD or including manganese in your total selected metals calculations. ( 2) You must conduct the emission tests specified in section 4 of this appendix upon initial startup and use the results of these emissions tests to complete and submit your eligibility demonstration within 180 days following your initial startup date. To be eligible, you must meet the criteria in section 11 of this appendix within 18 months following initial startup of your affected source.

11. When do I become eligible for the risk based provisions?

To be eligible for either the risk based HCl exemption or the risk based manganese exclusion, you must meet the criteria in paragraphs ( a) and ( b) of this section. If you do not meet these criteria, then your affected source is subject to the applicable compliance options, operating requirements, and work practice requirements in Subpart DDDDD. ( a) Your demonstration of eligibility must be approved by EPA. ( b) The parameters that defined your affected source as eligible for the risk based provisions ( including, but not limited to, fuel type, type of control devices, process parameters documented as worst case conditions during the emissions testing used for your eligibility demonstration) must be incorporated as Federally enforceable limits into your title V permit.

12. How do I ensure that my facility remains in the low risk PCWP subcategory?

( a) You must update your eligibility demonstration and resubmit it to EPA for re approval each time one of the actions in paragraphs ( a)( 1) and ( 2) occurs. ( 1) A pollutant is deemed to be more potent than thought at the time of your original eligibility demonstration ( i. e., if a reference concentration decreases for one of the pollutants included in your approved eligibility demonstration). You must check the EPA website ( http:// www. epa. gov/ ttn/ atw/ toxsource/ summary. html) at least once per calendar quarter for dose response values ( RfC) to ensure that they remain the same as the values used in your approved elibility demonstration. ( 2) You have a process change, such that any of the parameters that defined your affected source changes in a way that could result in increased HAP emissions ( including, but not limited to, fuel type, change in type of control device, changes in process parameters documented as worst case conditions during the emissions testing used for your approved eligibility demonstration). ( b) You need not conduct repeat emissions tests according to section 4 of this appendix when updating your eligibility demonstration to account for one of the actions specified in paragraph ( a)( 1) of this section, provided that you collected emissions test data for the subject pollutant when you conducted emissions testing for your previously approved eligibility demonstration. ( c) You must update and re submit your low risk demonstration according to the schedule specified in paragraphs ( c)( 1) and ( 2) below. ( 1) If you are updating your eligilibity demonstration to account the action in paragraph ( a)( 1) of this section, then you must submit your revised eligibility demonstration to EPA within 1 year following the change to the pollutant dose response value. If your updated eligibility demonstration indicates that your affected source is no longer part of the low risk subcategory, then you must comply with the applicable emission limits, compliance options, and operating requirements in Subpart DDDDD within 3 years following the change to the pollutant doseresponse value. ( 2) If you are updating your eligibility demonstration to account for an action in paragraph ( a)( 2) of this section, then you must perform emission testing according to section 4 of this appendix for the appropriate emission points that may have increased HAP emissions beyond the levels reflected in your previously approved eligibility demonstration due to the process change. You must submit your revised eligibility demonstration to EPA prior to revising your permit to incorporate the process change. If your updated eligibility demonstration indicates that your affected source is no longer eligible for the risk based provisions, then you must comply with the applicable emission limits, compliance options, and operating requirements in Subpart DDDDD prior to making the process change and revising your permit.

13. What records must I keep? ( a) You must keep records of the information used in developing the eligibility demonstration for your affected source, including all of the information specified in section 8 of this appendix.

( b) You must keep dated records ( e. g., quarterly printouts of http:// www. epa. gov/ ttn/ atw/ toxsource/ summary. html) of the current dose response values to ensure that they match the doseresponse values used in your approved eligibility demonstration.

14. Definitions. The definitions in § 63.7575 of subpart DDDDD apply to this appendix. Additional definitions applicable for this appendix are as follows:

Appropriate emission point means a process unit that is reasonably expected to emit the HAP of concern ( HCl, chlorine, or manganese).

Hazard Index ( HI) means the sum of more than one hazard quotient for multiple substances and/ or multiple exposure pathways.

Hazard Quotient ( HQ) means the ratio of the potential exposure to the substance and the level at which no adverse effects are expected. For inhalation exposures, the HQ is calculated as the air concentration divided by the RfC.

Look up table analysis means a risk screening analysis based on comparing the total HAP emissions from the affected source, converted to a toxicity weighted emission rate, to the maximum allowable toxicity weighted emission rates in Tables 3 and 4 of this appendix for a facility specific stack height and fenceline distance.

Reference Concentration ( RfC) means an estimate ( with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a continuous inhalation exposure to the human population ( including sensitive subgroups which include children, asthmatics and the elderly) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. It can be derived from various types of human or animal data, with uncertainty factors generally applied to reflect limitations of the data used.

Reference Dose ( RfD) means an estimate ( with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a daily oral exposure to the human population ( including sensitive subgroups which include children, asthmatics and the elderly) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. It can be derived from various types of human or animal data, with uncertainty factors generally applied to reflect limitations of the data used.

Target organ specific hazard index ( TOSHI) means the sum of hazard quotients for individual chemicals that affect the same organ or organ system ( e. g., respiratory system, central nervous system).

Worst case operating conditions means operation of a process unit during emissions testing under the conditions that result in the highest HAP emissions or that result in the emissions stream composition ( including HAP and non HAP) that is most challenging for the control device if a control device is used. For example, worst case conditions could include operation of the process unit at maximum throughput with the wood species mix likely to produce the most HAP. Table 1 to Appendix B of Subpart DDDD.

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


 This ICR applies to section 8(c) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which requires manufacturers, processors, and distributors of chemical substances and mixtures: (a) To keep "records of significant adverse reactions to health or the environment, as determined by the Administrator by rule, alleged to have been caused by the substance or mixture." (b) To "permit inspection and submit copies of such records," upon request of any designated representative of the Administrator. TSCA section 8(c) is implemented by 40 CFR part 717, which describes the records to be kept and prescribes the conditions under which certain firms must submit or make the records available to a duly designated representative of the Administrator.

 In addition to the public comment requested by the notice in the Federal Register, OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1) require agencies to consult with potential respondents and data users about specific aspects of an ICR. Please note that if you take this opportunity to provide input, your name, affiliation, e‐mail address, phone number and any information you provide (e.g., copies of e‐mails) will be incorporated and attached to the ICR supporting statement, which will be a public document. In addition, the OMB Desk Examiner for the ICR in question may contact you to verify the accuracy of any comments EPA identifies in the ICR.

 EPA solicits your input on the following questions:

 Are the data that are required to be submitted under this ICR available from any other public source that you are aware of, or are they data already collected by another EPA office or by another agency? If so, where is the data publicly available?
          Is the data submission requirement clear? If not, do you have any suggestions for how the data submission can be clarified?
          Data is required to be submitted to the Document Control Office (DCO) at EPA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., by hand or by U.S. Postal Service. Is this a good method, or is there a better alternative?
          Do you have any concerns about the submission of confidential business information (CBI)?
 Do you agree with EPA's estimated burden and costs? (ICRs address only costs associated with paperwork.) Are the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) labor rates accurate? If you have any reason to consider the BLS labor rates inaccurate or inappropriate as used by EPA, please explain your rationale.
 To access the Federal Register notice, the ICR supporting document (including the economic analysis), and any public comments received, go to www.regulations.gov and search using EPA‐HQ‐OPPT‐2015‐0688. Click on any of the documents listed within the docket to read the document.

 If you have any comments in response to the above questions, or with respect to any other part of this ICR, please respond by return e‐mail by COB on Monday, May 9, 2016. EPA will consider those responses, as well as any public comment received in response to the Federal Register notice identified above, in preparing a final document for OMB review.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2010-1074]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway,
Wrightsville Beach, NC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of Temporary Deviation from regulations.

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

SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the
S.R. 74 Bridge, across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile 283.1,
at Wrightsville Beach, NC. The deviation is necessary because
participants in the 2011 Wrightsville Beach/Quintiles Marathon will be
transiting across the bridge during the race. This deviation allows the
bridge to remain in the closed position for two hours to accommodate
the 2011 Wrightsville Beach/Quintiles Marathon.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 6 a.m. through 8 a.m. on March
20, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2010-1074 and are available online
by going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2010-1074 in the
``Keyword'' box and then clicking ``Search''. They are also available
for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M-30),
U.S. Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room
W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,

the docket, call Renee V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations,
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Wrightsville Beach/Quintiles Marathon
Committee on behalf of the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) requested a temporary deviation from the current operating
regulations of the S.R. 74 Bridge across the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway (AIWW), mile 283.1, at Wrightsville Beach, NC. The current
operating schedule for the bridge is set out in 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4).
The regulation requires the bridge to open on signal for vessels during
all times except from 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. it will open on the hour and
every third and fourth Saturday in September it will remain in the
closed position from 7 a.m. until 11 a.m. The requested deviation is to
accommodate the 2011 Wrightsville Beach/Quintiles Marathon scheduled
for Sunday, March 20, 2011. To facilitate this event, the draw of the
bridge will be maintained in the closed-to-navigation position from 6
a.m. until 8 a.m.
    The bridge is a lift drawbridge with a vertical clearance of 20
feet above mean high water (MHW) in the closed position. Vessels that
can pass through the bridge in the closed position may do so. The Coast
Guard will inform the users of the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the bridge closure so that vessels can
arrange their transits to minimize any impact caused by the temporary
deviation. There are no alternate routes available to the vessel. Most
of the vessel traffic consists of recreational vessels with a few
barges and tugs in the daytime. There is an average of one bridge
opening a year for the time covered by the deviation in the past three
years. The bridge will not be able to open for emergencies.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: December 21, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Boating Safety Advisory Council
(NBSAC) is a Federal advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App. (Pub. L.
92-463). It was established under authority of 46 U.S.C. 13110 and
advises the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security through
the Coast Guard on boating safety regulations and other major boating
safety matters. NBSAC has 21 members: Seven representatives of State
officials responsible for State boating safety programs, seven
representatives of recreational vessel manufacturers and associated
equipment manufacturers, and seven representatives of national
recreational boating organizations and the general public, at least
five of whom are representatives of national recreational boating
organizations. Members are appointed by the Secretary.
    The Council meets at least twice each year at a location selected
by the Coast Guard. It may also meet for extraordinary purposes with
the approval of the Designated Federal Officer. Subcommittees or
working groups may also meet to consider specific problems.
    We will consider applications for seven positions that expire or
become vacant on December 31, 2011:
     Three representatives of State officials responsible for
State boating safety programs;
     Two representatives of recreational boat and associated
equipment manufacturers; and
     Two representatives of national recreational boating
organizations.

    Applicants are considered for membership on the basis of their
particular expertise, knowledge, and experience in recreational boating
safety. To be eligible, you should have experience in one of the
categories listed above. Registered lobbyists are not eligible to serve
on Federal advisory committees. Registered lobbyists are lobbyists
required to comply with provisions contained in the Lobbying Disclosure
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 110-81, as amended).
    Each member serves for a term of three years. Members may be
considered to serve consecutive terms. All members serve at their own
expense and receive no salary, or other compensation from the Federal
Government. The exception to this policy is when attending NBSAC
meetings, members are reimbursed for travel expenses and provided per
diem in accordance with Federal Travel Regulations.
    In support of the policy of the Coast Guard on gender and ethnic
nondiscrimination, we encourage qualified men and women and members of
all racial and ethnic groups to apply. The Coast Guard values
diversity; all the different characteristics and attributes of persons
that enhance the mission of the Coast Guard.
    If you are selected as a member drawn from the general public, you
will be appointed and serve as a special Government employee (SGE) as
defined in section 202(a) of title 18, United States Code. As a
candidate for appointment as a SGE, applicants are required to complete
a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report (OGE Form 450). A completed
OGE Form 450 is not releasable to the public except under an order
issued by a Federal court or as otherwise provided under the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). Only the Designated Agency Ethics Official or his
or her designate may release a Confidential Financial Disclosure
Report.
    If you are interested in applying to become a member of the
Committee, send your cover letter and resume to Jeff Ludwig, Alternate
Designated Federal Officer (ADFO) of NBSAC at Commandant (CG-5422)/
NBSAC, U.S. Coast Guard, 2100 Second St., SW., Stop 7581, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 9, 2020, the Delaware Department
of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) on behalf of the
State of Delaware, submitted a revision to the Delaware SIP entitled,
``2017 Base Year Emissions Inventory State Implementation Plan for VOC,
NOX, and CO for Areas of Marginal Nonattainment of the 2015
Ozone NAAQS in Delaware.'' New Castle County comprises Delaware's
portion of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City, PA-NJ-MD-DE 2015
ozone NAAQS nonattainment area. This SIP revision, referred to in this
rulemaking action as the ``New Castle County base year inventory SIP,''
addresses Delaware's base year inventory requirement for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS.

I. Background

    On October 1, 2015, EPA strengthened the 8-hour ozone NAAQS,
lowering the level of the NAAQS from 0.075 ppm parts per million (ppm)
to 0.070 ppm. See 80 FR 65292 (October 26, 2015). Effective August 3,
2018, EPA designated the Philadelphia Area, which consists of New
Castle County in Delaware and counties in Maryland, New Jersey, and
Pennsylvania, as marginal nonattainment for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. See
83 FR 25776 (June 4, 2018). CAA section 182(a)(1) requires ozone
nonattainment areas classified as marginal or above to submit a
comprehensive, accurate, current inventory of actual emissions from all
emissions sources in the nonattainment area, known as a ``base year
inventory.'' The New Castle County base year inventory SIP addresses a
base year inventory requirement for the Philadelphia Area.

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

A. EPA Evaluation of the New Castle County Base Year Inventory SIP

    EPA's review of Delaware's base year inventory SIP indicates that
it meets the base year inventory requirements for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
As required by 40 CFR 51.1315(a), DNREC selected 2017 for the base year
inventory, which is consistent with the baseline year for the RFP
because it is the year of the most recent triennial inventory. DNREC
included actual ozone season emissions, pursuant to 40 CFR 51.1315(c).
    EPA prepared a Technical Support Document (TSD) in support of this
rulemaking. In that TSD, EPA reviewed the results, procedures, and
methodologies for the SIP base year, and found them to be acceptable
and developed in accordance with EPA's technical guidance. The TSD is
available online at http://www.regulations.gov, Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2021-0854.

B. Base Year Inventory Requirements

    In EPA's December 6, 2018 (83 FR 62998) rulemaking,
``Implementation of the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Ozone: Nonattainment Area State Implementation Plan Requirements,''
known as the ``SIP Requirements Rule,'' EPA set out nonattainment area
requirements for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. SIP Requirements Rule
established base year inventory requirement, which were codified at 40
CFR 51.1315. As per 40 CFR 51.1315(a), each 2015 ozone nonattainment
area is required to submit a base year inventory within 2 years of
designation (i.e., no later than August 3, 2020).
    Also, 40 CFR 51.1315(a) requires that the inventory year be
selected consistent with the baseline year for the reasonable further
progress (RFP) plan as required by 40 CFR 51.1310(b), which states that
the baseline emissions inventory shall be the emissions inventory for
the most recent calendar year for which a complete triennial inventory
is required to be submitted to the EPA under the provisions of subpart
A of 40 CFR part 51, Air Emissions Reporting Requirements, 40 CFR 51.1
through 51.50. The most recent triennial inventory year conducted for
the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) pursuant to the Air Emissions
Reporting Requirements (AERR) rule is 2017. See

73 FR 76539 (December 17, 2008). Delaware selected 2017 as their
baseline emissions inventory year for RFP. This selection comports with
EPA's implementation regulations for the 2015 ozone NAAQS because 2017
is the inventory year. 40 CFR 51.1310(b).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On January 29, 2021, the Court of Appeals for the D.C.
Circuit issued its decision regarding multiple challenges to EPA's
implementation rule for the 2015 ozone NAAQS which included, among
other things, upholding this provision allowing states to use an
alternative baseline year for RFP. Sierra Club v. EPA, 985 F.3d 1055
(D.C. Cir. 2021). The other provisions of EPA's ozone implantation
rule at issue in the case are not relevant for this rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Furthermore, 40 CFR 51.1315(c) requires emissions values included
in the base year inventory to be actual ozone season day emissions as
defined by 40 CFR 51.1300(q), which states that ozone season day
emissions means an average day's emissions for a typical ozone season
work weekday. The state shall select, subject to EPA approval, the
particular month(s) in the ozone season and the day(s) in the work week
to be represented, considering the conditions assumed in the
development of RFP plans and/or emissions budgets for transportation
conformity.

C. New Castle County Base Year Inventory SIP

    The New Castle County base year inventory SIP contains an
explanation of DNREC's 2017 base year emissions inventory for New
Castle County (2017 New Castle County BYE) for point, non-point, and
mobile anthropogenic sources within New Castle County. DNREC estimated
anthropogenic emissions for nitrogen oxide (NOX), volatile
organic compound (VOC), and carbon monoxide (CO) for annual and Summer
Season Weekday (SSWD) daily emissions. The 2017 New Castle County BYE
contains the following source categories of anthropogenic emissions
sources: Stationary point, stationary non-point, mobile non-road, and
mobile on-road sources, with an explanation of the methodologies used
to derive emissions summaries for each source category contained within
each respective section.
1. Stationary Point Sources
    Point sources are larger sources that are located at a fixed,
stationary location. As defined by the AERR in 40 CFR 51.50, point
sources are large, stationary (non-mobile), identifiable sources of
emissions that release pollutants into the atmosphere. A point source
is a facility that is a major source under 40 CFR part 70 for one or
more of the pollutants for which reporting is required by 40 CFR
51.15(a)(1). These point sources can be associated with a single point
or group of points in space. Examples of point source emissions
categories include power plants, industrial boilers, petroleum
refineries, cement plants, and other industrial plants.
    As stated in Section 2 of the 2017 New Castle County BYE, point
sources included large industrial (e.g., manufacturing), commercial,
and institutional facilities (e.g., hospitals, universities, prisons,
military bases, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants) within New
Castle County that held either a Title V permit or a Synthetic Minor
permit in 2017. DNREC explains that it used several methods of source
identification. DNREC's primary data source is its permitting program,
and DNREC's compliance program identifies other point sources though
facility inspections and investigations. In addition, facilities are
required by Delaware's emissions statement regulations, facilities are
required by Delaware's emissions statement regulations, Delaware
Administrative Code (DAC) 7 DE Admin. Code 1117 Source Monitoring,
Record Keeping and Reporting, to certify the air emissions for the past
calendar year. The certified emissions are used for inventory and
planning purposes. The certified emissions are used for inventory and
planning purposes.
    DNREC's Division of Air Quality (DAQ) developed the point source
data for the 2017 base year inventory. The point source inventory
contains emissions for electric generating units (EGUs) and Non-EGU
sources in the nonattainment area. EPA guidance for emissions inventory
development provides that ozone season day emissions are used for the
base year inventory for the nonattainment area. DAQ developed their
2017 inventory by using emissions directly reported to the agency by
facilities as required by Delaware air quality regulations. These
emissions are also reported to EPA, and after going through EPA's
quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) process, are included
in EPA's National Emissions Inventory (NEI). The emissions for this
base year can be found in EPA's 2017 NEI.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Technical Support Document for the Base Year Inventory
Submitted with the 2015 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS Marginal Area State
Implementation Plan for the Philadelphia Area, included in the
docket for this rulemaking available online at https://www.regulations.gov, Docket ID: EPA-R03-OAR-2021-0854.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Stationary Non-Point Sources
    Stationary non-point sources represent a large and diverse set of
individual emission source categories. These sources collectively
represent individual sources of emissions that have not been
inventoried as either specific stationary point or mobile sources, and
are typically too small, numerous, or difficult to inventory using the
methods for the other classes of sources.
    Stationary non-point sources that DNREC evaluated for the 2017 New
Castle County BYE include solvent use (e.g., dry cleaners, auto
refinishing), gasoline usage and distribution (e.g., tank truck
unloading and auto refueling), fuel combustion (e.g., combustion of
fuels in industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential
furnaces, engines, boilers, wood stoves, and fireplaces), and open
burning (e.g., rash burning, prescribed burning, burning of land
clearing debris, wildfires, building fires, and vehicle fires). Section
3.2 of the New Castle County BYE sets out the methodologies DNREC used
to estimate emissions for each of these non-point source categories.
These methods are consistent with the most recent EPA emission
inventory guidance.
3. Non-Road Mobile Sources
    Non-road mobile sources represent a large and diverse set of off-
road vehicles and non-stationary equipment. As per 40 CFR 51.50, a non-
road engine is an internal combustion engine (including the fuel
system) that is not used in an on-road motor vehicle or a vehicle used
solely for competition, or that is not affected by sections 111 or 202
of the CAA. Also defined by 40 CFR 51.50, a non-road vehicle (rather
than engine) is a vehicle that is run by a non-road engine and that is
not an on-road motor vehicle or a vehicle used solely for competition.
Examples of non-road mobile sources include aircraft, airport ground
support equipment, agricultural and construction equipment powered by
an internal combustion engine, commercial marine vessels, locomotives,
and lawn and garden engines and equipment.
    As explained in Section 4 of the New Castle County BYE, consistent
with EPA's Emission Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and
Particulate Matter NAAQS and Regional Haze Regulations, DNREC used
EPA's Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) 2014b model to develop
the inventory for non-road mobile sources. MOVES2014 and later
calculates emissions from both onroad and non-road mobile sources and
covers non-road sources across 12 broad economic sectors (e.g.,
construction, agriculture, industrial, lawn & garden, etc.)

classified by horsepower rating, engine type (e.g., compression
ignition, spark ignition) and displacement, and fuel type (e.g.,
gasoline, diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), and liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG)).
    Section 4 of the New Castle County BYE also includes aircraft,
railroad locomotive, and commercial marine vessel emissions. DNREC
calculated emissions from these sources by collecting data directly
from surveyed sources, or activity from state and federal reporting
agencies. To estimate emissions for aircraft, DNREC used airport
activity statistics from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),
landing and takeoff cycle information from the Delaware Department of
Transportation (DelDOT), and survey information for landing and
takeoffs, engine type, location, and usage data from airports within
New Castle County. Railroad emission estimates were developed using
activity and fuel consumption estimates collected from the rail
companies within the state, including the Maryland & Delaware (MDDE)
Railroad, Delaware Coast Line Railroad, Delmarva Central Railroad,
Eastern Penn Railroad, and Wilmington and Western. For commercial
marine vessels, DNREC calculated emissions for ocean-going vessels,
towboats, tug-assist vessels, ferries, and vessels associated with
dredging operations. Emissions were calculated based on mode of
operation, vessel type, tonnage, and engine type; DNREC developed
county emission allocation factors based on the location of the
activity on various waterways and length of the waterway segment. These
methods of calculating emissions are consistent with the most recent
EPA emission inventory guidance.\3\

this rulemaking available online at https://www.regulations.gov,
Docket ID: EPA-R03-OAR-2021-0854.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. On-Road Mobile Sources
    On-road mobile sources are also called ``highway mobile sources.''
These sources are the motor vehicles (e.g., automobiles, buses, trucks)
traveling on local and highway roads. On-road mobile source emission
estimates should utilize the latest recommended on-road mobile source
models; currently, that means the EPA's MOVES model for all states
except California. The MOVES model estimates emissions from vehicle
exhaust and from mobile source evaporative emissions, both of which
must be included in the inventory. Volatile hydrocarbons evaporate from
fuel systems while a vehicle is refueling, parked, or driving.
Evaporative processes differ from exhaust emissions because they don't
directly involve combustion, which is the main process driving exhaust
emissions.
    As stated in Section 5 of the New Castle County BYE, DNREC used
EPA's MOVES2014b model to estimate 2017 annual emissions and 2017 SSWD
daily emissions from on-road sources in New Castle County. Emissions
were estimated based on emission factors and vehicle activity. Emission
factors for vehicles were based on vehicle type (e.g., passenger cars,
passenger trucks), vehicle age, and the vehicle's operating modes.
Operating modes for running, start, and idle emissions are included in
MOVES. The emission factors varied over a range of conditions,
including ambient air temperature, speed, traffic conditions, road
types, road topography, etc. The generated emission factors were then
multiplied by the appropriate vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to estimate
emissions. To estimate the rate at which emissions are being generated
and to calculate VMT, DNREC examined its road network, vehicle fleet,
and traffic data to estimate vehicle activity. DNREC used computer
models to perform emissions calculations by simulating the travel of
vehicles on Delaware's roadway system.
    EPA has reviewed the results, procedures, and methodologies for the
SIP base year, as well as comparing the inventory with previously QA/
QC'd data in EPA's 2017 NEI for any data discrepancies and found none.
EPA has therefore determined that the base year inventory to be
acceptable and developed in accordance with EPA's technical guidance.
5. Emissions Summary
    The New Castle County BYE contains a summary of 2017 annual and
ozone SSWD daily emissions by source sector, which is presented in

III. Proposed Action

    EPA's review of this material indicates the New Castle County base
year inventory SIP meets the base year inventory requirement for the
2015 ozone NAAQS for Delaware's portion of the Philadelphia Area that
is designated nonattainment, which consists of New Castle County,
Delaware. Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve the New Castle County
base year inventory SIP, which was submitted on October 9, 2020. EPA is
soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this document.
These comments will be considered before taking final action.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this proposed action:

     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rulemaking, proposing to approve
Delaware's base year inventory SIP for the 2015 ozone NAAQS, does not
have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in
Indian country located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.
