RE: (Draft) Coke Model file "shell" for industry review

Hi Donna Lee,

You are welcome! To answer your question, Jewell is the only facility where we feel the buoyant line plume is more representative of pushing fugitives since it's the only facility that has a pushing shed which is not vented to another control device. Indiana Harbor does have pushing sheds but they are all vented to a common, main baghouse. Middletown, Granite City and Haverhill do not have pushing sheds.

Hopefully that answers your question. If not, let us know!
Thanks,

Kris

Hi. Im not seeing that I thanked you for this. If you get two, then that's better right? So thanks for your responses and the work everyone at SunCoke put in to do so. We appreciate it.  One question: there is only Jewel listed in the buoyant plume file. Did you want  us to use the parameters for all the other SunCoke facilities?

Hi Donna Lee,

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and revisions. We have a number of revisions to provide, which are described below in each section. We have used the comment columns in the spreadsheet to provide revised values according to the sections below. For your convenience, the spreadsheet tabs `3-CCCCC' and `4-Noncategory-63L' are filtered for SunCoke facilities only, and show only columns where revised values are provided, which are highlighted in orange.

Section 1: Gateway Energy & Coke Co., Haverhill Coke Co., Middletown Coke Co.
   a.      Pushing stack: the Gateway and Middletown facilities should have a single point source to represent pushing emissions from all batteries and the Haverhill facility should have two point sources, as listed in the ICR reports for each facility. The single point source represents the flat push hot car stack, through which pushing emissions are discharged.  The flat push hot car has one stack that is controlled by a multiclone.   The flat push hot car is shared among all the batteries at the Middletown and Gateway facilities.  At the Haverhill facility, Haverhill 1 has a flat push hot car, which is shared between all 100 ovens on the A and B batteries and Haverhill 2, has a flat push hot car that is shared between all 100 ovens on the C and D batteries.
   b.      Charging stack (noncategory, 63L): the Gateway and Middletown facilities should have a single point source to represent charging emissions from the pusher/charger machine (PCM) stack from all batteries and the Haverhill facility should have two point sources for the two PCM stacks, as listed in the ICR reports for each facility. The single point source represents the emission point for this source, a single stack that is controlled by a baghouse.  The pusher/charge machine is shared among all the batteries at the Middletown and Gateway facilities.  At the Haverhill facility, Haverhill 1 has a pusher/charger machine, which is shared between all 100 ovens on the A and B batteries and Haverhill 2, has a pusher/charger machine that is shared between all 100 ovens on the C and D batteries.
   c.      Revisions to various source parameters (e.g. release height, stack temperature, etc.) to be consistent with the ICR reports and other stack test data for each facility.
   d.      Revisions to total annual hours of operation: pushing, charging and quenching occur for 8 hours/day at Gateway and Middletown facilities, and 16 hours/day at the Haverhill facility.  Please note that this is total for the facility each day, not for each battery, therefore, hours for each battery will be a fraction of the total daily hours.  Bypass vent stacks operate intermittently and are permitted to emit for a limited number of hours per year:
         a.      SC-GraniteCity-IL: 312 hours per stack (pg. 21, section 4.1.5, 1872 total permitted stack-hours per year divided by 6 bypass stacks)
         b.      SC-FranklinFurnace-OH: 192 hours per stack for 10 stacks (a total of 1920 hours per year for ten stacks - pg. 38, "P901, Waste Gas from Coking, Charging, & Pushing (AB Battery)" and pg. 88, "P902, Waste Gas from Coking, Charging, & Pushing (CD Battery)")
         c.      SC-Middletown-OH: 312 hours per stack (pg. 98, section 6.b, 1560 total permitted stack-hours per year divided by 5 bypass stacks)
Section 2: Jewell Coke and Coal
   a.      Pushing sheds: pushing emissions are controlled by sheds, which are best represented as four buoyant line sources. Additional parameters for buoyant line sources are provided in a separate spreadsheet (Suncoke_BuoyantLineParameters.xlsx).
   b.      Charging stack (noncategory, 63L): should have four (4) rather than six (6) point sources to represent charging emissions from each of the four PCM stacks.
   c.      Pushing fugitives: revisions to release height.
   d.      Quench towers and vent stacks: revisions to source parameters.
   e.      Revisions to total annual hours of operation: pushing, charging and quenching occur for 8 hours/day. Please note that this is total for the facility each day, not for each battery, therefore, hours for each battery will be a fraction of the total daily hours.
Section 3: Indiana Harbor Coke Co.
   a.      Charging stack (noncategory, 63L): should have two (2) point sources to represent charging emissions from the PCM stack shared by batteries A/B and the PCM stack shared by batteries C/D.
   b.      Pushing fugitives: revisions to release height.
   c.      Pushing stack, quench towers, and vent stacks: revisions to source parameters.
   d.      Main stack:  As we've discussed, the main stack associated with Indiana Harbor is independently owned and operated by another company, Cokenergy, LLC, so SunCoke is unable to comment on the parameters associated with this stack.
   e.      Revisions to total annual hours of operation: pushing, charging and quenching occur for 16 hours/day.  Please note that this is total for the facility each day, not for each battery, therefore, hours for each battery will be a fraction of the total daily hours.  Bypass vent stacks operate intermittently and are permitted to emit for a limited number of hours per year: 1139 hours per year for each stack (13% annual venting limit, equal to 0.13*8760 = 1,139 hours total per year, pg. 36, section D.1.9(c)).

Thank you for the additional time to review the files. I think the provided data will answer most of the questions from your 10/14 email, however, I will review and follow-up on any additional questions you raised. Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Thanks,

Kris

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Diabetes

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions of 110
individuals from its prohibition in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) against persons with insulin-treated diabetes
mellitus (ITDM) from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in
interstate commerce. The exemptions enable these individuals with ITDM
to continue to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.

DATES: Each group of renewed exemptions was effective on the dates
stated in the discussions below and will expire on the dates stated in
the discussions below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64-224,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Electronic Access

    You may see all the comments online through the Federal Document
Management System (FDMS) at: http://www.regulations.gov.
    Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments, go to http//www.regulations.gov and/or Room W12-140 on the
ground level of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE.,
Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday,

the commenter provides, to http://www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed
at http://www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On December 20, 2016, FMCSA published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 110 individuals from the insulin-
treated diabetes mellitus prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) to operate
a CMV in interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (81
FR 92941). The public comment period ended on January 19, 2017, and no
comments were received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding diabetes
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.

IV. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 110 renewal exemption applications
and that no comments were received, FMCSA confirms its' decision to
exempt the following drivers from the rule prohibiting drivers with
ITDM from driving CMVs in interstate commerce in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3):
    As of December 9, 2016, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, the following 37 individuals have satisfied the renewal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority,
as it amends Class E airspace in Thomasville, GA.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2023-2052 in the Federal Register on October 18, 2023 (88 FR
71786), proposing to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for Thomasville Regional Airport, Thomasville,
GA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 annually. This document amends
the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated August
11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 7400.11H is
publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
These amendments will be published in the next FAA Order JO 7400.11
update.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface

for Thomasville Regional Airport, Thomasville, GA, by updating the
airport name (formerly Thomasville Municipal Airport). Also, the radius
is increased to 7 miles (previously 6.5 miles), and an extension to the
northeast is added. Controlled airspace is necessary for the area's
safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only
affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a.
    This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances
warrant the preparation of an environmental assessment.
