Download as PDF 21026 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 78 / Monday, April 24, 2006 / Notices FGCDs, NSPS subpart J limits the amount of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) allowed in the fuel gas burned in these devices. Except for fuel gas released to a flare as a result of relief valve leakage or other emergency malfunctions, a facility may not burn fuel gas containing greater than 230 mg/dscm of H2S in any affected FGCD. Q2: How does the process upset gas exemption of 40 CFR part 60, subpart J, apply to the flare gas recovery system in operation at Koch Refining’s Rosemount, Minnesota, refinery? A2: The process upset gas exemption under NSPS subpart J applies only to extraordinary, infrequent, and not reasonably preventable upsets. Any gases released as a result of normal operations are not considered upset gases. The routine combustion of refinery gases in a FGCD, including flares and other waste gas disposal devices, do not qualify for the process upset gas exemption of the rule. Based on the background information of the rule, the term upset does not apply to normal operations. Therefore, the rule exempts the combustion of process upset gases in a FGCD, including the combustion in a flare of fuel gas that is released to the flare as a result of relief valve leakage or other emergency malfunction. However, the combustion/ flaring of those exempted gases in an NSPS affected FGCD is still required to comply with the good air pollution control practices of 40 CFR 60.11(d), even when such FGCDs are exempt from the sulfur dioxide limit. Q3: How does NSPS subpart J apply to the various gas streams Koch Refining’s Rosemount, Minnesota, refinery? A3: EPA has analyzed the 26 gas streams identified at the Koch Refining facility and has provided a finding for each of these streams based on the Agency’s responses in A1 and A2, above. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES Abstract for [0500138] Q: Does EPA approve an alternative monitoring plan, under 40 CFR, part 60, subpart J, for fuel gases and fuel gas combustion devices (FGCDs) at Koch Refining’s Rosemount, Minnesota, refinery? A: No. Based on the information submitted, EPA does not approve the proposed alternative monitoring plan for fuel gases and FGCDs since it needs to provide for good air pollution control practices to minimize flaring events.

General information concerning the CASAC or the EPA SAB can be found on the EPA Web site at URL: https://www.epa.gov/ sab. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The CASAC, which is comprised of seven members appointed by the EPA Administrator, was established under section 109(d)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 U.S.C. 7409) as an independent scientific advisory committee, in part to provide advice, information and recommendations on the scientific and PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 technical aspects of issues related to air quality criteria and national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) under sections 108 and 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The CASAC Ozone Review Panel, which consists of the members of the chartered CASAC supplemented by subject-matter-experts, complies with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Under section 108 of the CAA, the Agency is required to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for each of six pollutants for which EPA has issued criteria, including ambient ozone (O3). Section 109(d) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria and NAAQS to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on public health and welfare. The Ozone Panel met in a public meeting in Durham, North Carolina on December 6–7, 2005, to conduct a peer review on EPA’s 2nd draft Air Quality Criteria for Ozone and Related Photochemical Oxidants (August 2005). In a February 10, 2006, letter to the Administrator (EPA– CASAC–06–003), the CASAC indicated that it may need to provide additional advice related to chapter 8 of the AQCD which integrates human health effects and exposure.
