General Information jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Does this action apply to me? EPA is in the process of reviewing air regulations affecting the oil and natural gas industry. This review may potentially affect any segment of the oil and natural gas industry, which includes, but is not limited to: Offshore drilling; onshore drilling; oil and natural gas production; natural gas processing; natural gas transmission; and natural gas distribution. You may be affected in some way by regulatory action following this review if you own, operate, work, or live near oil and natural gas operations in the segments listed above. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:44 Jul 12, 2010 Jkt 220001 Docket. EPA has established a docket for the above mentioned review process under Docket ID Number EPA–HQ– OAR–2010–0505. Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically through www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the EPA Docket Center, Public Reading Room, EPA West Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, and the telephone number for the Air Docket is (202) 566–1742. II. Background Under sections 111(b)(1)(B), 112(d)(6), and 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA has a mandatory duty to take actions relative to the review/ revision of new source performance standards (NSPS) and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) within 8 years of the issuance of the standards. On January 14, 2009, WildEarth Guardians and San Juan Citizens Alliance brought suit against EPA in the District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that EPA failed to meet its obligations under sections 111(b)(1)(B), 112(d)(6), and 112(f)(2) of the CAA with respect to the Oil and Natural Gas Production source category. On February 4, 2010, the Court entered a consent decree that resolves the claims in this lawsuit. The consent decree requires, among other things, that EPA sign by January 31, 2011, proposed standards and/or determinations not to issue standards pursuant to sections 111(b)(1)(B), 112(d)(6), and 112(f)(2) of the CAA, and that EPA finalize its proposals by November 30, 2011. The consent decree authorizes EPA to sign by January 31, 2011, a final determination not to review the NSPS pursuant to section 111(b)(1)(B) of the CAA without issuing a proposal for such determination. EPA is in the process of taking actions under CAA sections 111 and 112 relative to the review/revision of the following NSPS and NESHAP: The NSPS for Equipment Leaks of VOC from Onshore Natural Gas Processing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart KKK); the NSPS for Onshore Natural Gas Processing: SO2 Emissions (40 CFR part 60, subpart LLL); the NESHAP From Oil and Natural Gas Production Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart HH); and the NESHAP From Natural Gas Transmission and Storage Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH). As part of this process, EPA is holding public meetings in the Dallas, Texas, and PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 39935 Denver, Colorado, areas, both of which are in regions significantly affected by oil and natural gas production operations. The purpose of these meetings is to establish a dialog among government, the affected industry, and other interested members of the public, as well as to receive information that may be useful to EPA in its review of the NSPS and NESHAP identified above. Such information could include information regarding the nature of local oil and gas production operations, air emissions from oil and gas production operations, control technologies and/or practices that may minimize or otherwise address air emissions, and information on the public health, welfare, and other environmental impacts of air emissions from oil and gas production operations. At these meetings, EPA plans to provide a brief overview of the Agency’s review process for the NSPS and NESHAP identified above, including background information on these regulations. There will also be opportunities for questions and answers. In addition, any interested party from industry or the general public may present oral or written information to EPA at these meetings.
