National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source
Categories: Generic Maximum
Achievable Control Technology
Standards; and National Emission
Standards for Ethylene Manufacturing
Process Units: Heat Exchange
Systems and Waste Operations
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rules; amendments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to
amend the National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Source Categories: Generic
Maximum Control Technology
Standards which were promulgated in
June 1999 (64 FR 34863), and the
National Emission Standards for
Ethylene Manufacturing Process Units:
Heat Exchange Systems and Waste
Operations which were promulgated in
July 2002 (67 FR 46258). The proposed
amendments would clarify the
compliance requirements for benzene
waste streams, clarify the requirements
for heat exchangers and heat exchanger
systems, and stipulate the provisions for
offsite waste transfer in the national
emission standards for ethylene process
units. The proposed amendments would
also correct the regulatory language that
make emissions from ethylene cracking
furnaces during decoking operations an
exception to the provisions and
delineate overlapping requirements for
storage vessels and transfer racks.
In addition, the proposed
amendments would also correct errors
in the proposed rule for the Acrylic and
Modacrylic Fiber Production source
category which were not corrected as
indicated in the preamble to the June
1999 final rule (64 FR 34863).
In the Rules and Regulations section
of this Federal Register, we are taking
direct final action on the proposed
amendments because we view these
revisions as noncontroversial and
anticipate no adverse comments. We
have explained our reasons for the
amendments in the direct final rules. If
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

we have no adverse comments, we will
take no further action on the proposed
amendments. If we receive adverse
comments, we will withdraw only those
amendments on which we receive
adverse comments. We will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register indicating which amendments
will become effective and which
amendments are being withdrawn. If all
or part of the direct final rules in the
Rules and Regulations section of this
Federal Register is withdrawn, all
comments pertaining to those
amendments will be addressed in a
subsequent final rulemaking based on
these proposed amendments. We will
not institute a second comment period
on the subsequent final action. Any
parties interested in commenting must
do so at this time.
DATES: Comments. Written comments
must be received on or before May 31,
2005.
Public Hearing. If anyone contacts us
by April 20, 2005 requesting to speak at
a public hearing, we will hold a public
hearing on April 28, 2005. If a public
hearing is held, it will be held at EPA’s
RTP Campus in Research Triangle Park,
NC, or an alternate site nearby. Persons
interested in attending the public
hearing should contact Ms. Dorothy
Apple at (919) 541–4487 to verify that
a hearing will be held and its location.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
generally requires an agency to prepare
a regulatory flexibility analysis of any
rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities
include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental
jurisdictions. EPA has determined that
it is not necessary to prepare a
regulatory flexibility analysis in
connection with the proposed rule
amendments.
For purposes of assessing the impacts
of the proposed rule amendments on
small entities, a small entity is defined
as: (1) A small business in the North
American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) code 325 that has up to
500; (2) a small governmental
jurisdiction that is a government of a
city, county, town, school district or
special district with a population of less
than 50,000; and (3) a small
organization that is any not-for-profit
enterprise which is independently
owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
After considering the economic
impacts of today’s proposed rule
amendments on small entities, I certify
that this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The proposed rule amendments will not
impose any requirements on small
entities. The proposed rule amendments
provide clarifications and corrections to
previously issued rules. Before
promulgating the rule on acrylic and
modacrylic fiber production in 1999 (64
FR 34863), we concluded that each
standard applied to five or fewer major
sources. In addition, we conducted a
limited assessment of the economic
effect of the proposed standards on
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:00 Apr 12, 2005
Jkt 205001
small entities that showed no adverse
economic effect for any small entities
within any of these source categories.
Similarly, before promulgating the rules
on ethylene production in 2002 (67 FR
46258), we determined that there were
no small entities affected by those rules.
For a discussion of other
administrative requirements for the
proposed rules, see the direct final rules
action in the Rules and Regulations
section of today’s Federal Register.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing changes to
correct the final rule published in the
Federal Register on March 12, 2004.
Specifically, EPA is proposing to amend
the regulatory text for the definitions of
refrigerant and technician and the
prohibition against venting substitute
refrigerants. EPA is also proposing to
amend the prohibition against venting
substitute refrigerants to reflect the
proposed changes to the definitions.
These changes are being proposed to
make certain that the regulations
promulgated on March 12, 2004 cannot
be construed as a restriction on the sales
of substitutes that do not consist of an
ozone-depleting substance (ODS), such
as pure hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and
perfluorocarbon (PFC) substitutes.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have significant economic impact on a substantial number
of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. EPA has determined
that it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis
in connection with the proposed rule amendments.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of the proposed rule
amendments on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small
business in the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
code 325 that has up to 500; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that
is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special
district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small
organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule
amendments on small entities, I certify that this action will not have
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The proposed rule amendments will not impose any requirements
on small entities. The proposed rule amendments provide clarifications
and corrections to previously issued rules. Before promulgating the
rule on acrylic and modacrylic fiber production in 1999 (64 FR 34863),
we concluded that each standard applied to five or fewer major sources.
In addition, we conducted a limited assessment of the economic effect
of the proposed standards on small entities that showed no adverse
economic effect for any small entities within any of these source
categories. Similarly, before promulgating the rules on ethylene
production in 2002 (67 FR 46258), we determined that there were no
small entities affected by those rules.
For a discussion of other administrative requirements for the
proposed rules, see the direct final rules action in the Rules and
Regulations section of today's Federal Register.
