a. A loose supplement to a bound
Periodicals publication must bear on the
front/cover page the endorsement
‘‘Supplement to’’ followed by one of the
following: the title of the publication,
the name of the publisher, or
‘‘Periodicals Publication.’’ A bound
publication with one or more
supplements must be enclosed in a
wrapper. However, a wrapper is not
required when a loose supplement is
included within the same mailing as the
host publication, bears a proper delivery
address, contains at least 25%
nonadvertising material, and includes
on the front/cover page the endorsement
‘‘Periodicals Supplement to’’ followed
by the exact title and issue date of the
host publication. The external
dimensions of such unwrapped
supplements may exceed those of the
host publication provided they are of
the same processing category as the host
publication. If a supplement to a bound
publication is formed of more than one
sheet, all sheets making up the
supplement must be bound together.

Amendments to National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants: Area Source Standards for
Prepared Feeds Manufacturing
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final
action on three amendments to the
regulatory text in the prepared feeds
manufacturing area source rule. First,
this action corrects the date for new
sources to submit a Notification of
Compliance Status (NOCS) form.
Second, this action corrects information
that needs to be included in the
Notification of Compliance Report for
those small facilities that are not
required to install cyclones on their
pelleting operations. Third, this action
adds language to the regulatory text that
was inadvertently left out of the final
rule requiring submittal of the annual
compliance certification report. These
corrections and clarifications will not
change the standards established by the
rule and not result in the imposition of
any costs beyond those included in the
final rule.
DATES: This direct final rule is effective
on November 2, 2010, without further

I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule?
We are publishing the rule without a
prior proposed rule because we view
this as a non-controversial action and
anticipate no adverse comment. As
explained below, this action amends the
date for new sources to submit a
Notification of Compliance Status
(NOCS) form; corrects information that
needs to be included in the Notification
of Compliance Report for those small
facilities that are not required to install
cyclones on their pelleting operations;
and adds language to the regulatory text
that was inadvertently left out of the
final rule requiring submittal of the
annual compliance certification report.
Because this is an amendment of
regulatory language through rulemaking,
a redline version of the regulatory
language has been created and has been
placed in the docket (https://
www.regulations.gov, see Docket No.
EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0080) to aid the
public’s ability to comment on the
regulatory text.
If we receive relevant adverse
comment on this direct final rule, we
will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public
that some or all of the amendments in
this rule will not take effect. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at
this time.
Regulated Entities. The regulated
categories and entities potentially
affected by the final rule include:
Examples of regulated entities
Animal feeds, prepared (except dog and cat), manufacturing.

This table is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide
for readers regarding entities likely to be
affected by this action. To determine
whether your facility is regulated by this
action, you should examine the
applicability criteria in 40 CFR
63.11619, subpart DDDDDDD (NESHAP
for Area Sources: Prepared Feeds
Manufacturing). If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of
this action to a particular entity, consult
either the state delegated authority or
the EPA regional representative, as
listed in 40 CFR 63.13 of subpart A
(General Provisions).
The corrections will become effective
on November 2, 2010, without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse
comment by September 3, 2010. If EPA
receives adverse comment, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public
that some or all of the amendments in
this rule will take affect. Today’s action
notifies interested parties of the
amendments.
III. Where can I get a copy of this
document?
This action is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under the terms of
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and is, therefore, not
subject to review under the Executive
Order.
Electronic Access. In addition to being
available in the docket, an electronic
copy of this direct final action will also
be available on the Worldwide Web
(WWW) through the Technology
Transfer Network (TTN). Following
signature, a copy of this final action will
be posted on the TTN’s policy and
guidance page for newly proposed or
promulgated rules at the following
address: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/.
The TTN provides information and
technology exchange in various areas of
air pollution control.

IV. What amendments are we making
to this rule?
On January 5, 2010 (75 FR 522), the
EPA promulgated the national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants
(NESHAP) for area source prepared
feeds manufacturing facilities as subpart
DDDDDDD in 40 CFR part 63. Today’s
action contains the following
corrections and clarifications:
1. The date for new sources to submit
the Notification of Compliance Form is
corrected from ‘‘within 120 days of
startup, or by May 4, 2012, whichever
is later,’’ to within 120 days of startup
or October 18, 2010, whichever is later.
2. Small facilities that are not subject
to the requirement to install and operate
a cyclone to control emissions from
pelleting operations must submit
documentation of their initial average
daily feed production level in their
Notification of Compliance Status
report. The final rule used the incorrect
term ‘‘initial daily pelleting production
level.’’ This is being corrected to
indicate that documentation of the
‘‘initial average daily feed production
level’’ be submitted.
3. The requirement to submit the
annual compliance certification report
is added. This requirement was in the
proposed rule but inadvertently deleted
in the final rule.

V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new
information collection burden. The
proposed amendments result in no
changes to the information collection
requirements of the existing standards
of performance and will have little or no
impact on the information collection
estimate of projected cost and hour
burden made and approved by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) during the development of the
existing standards of performance.
Therefore, the information collection
requests have not been amended.
However, OMB has previously approved
the information collection requirements
contained in the existing regulations
(subpart DDDDDDD, 40 CFR part 63)
under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
and has assigned OMB control number
2060–0635 (ICR 2354.02). The OMB
control numbers for EPA’s regulations
in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act
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 would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small businesses,
small not-for-profit enterprises, and
small governmental jurisdictions.
For the purposes of assessing the
impacts of this rule on small entities,
small entity is defined as: (1) A small
business as defined by the Small
Business Administration’s regulations
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
41993
found at 13 CFR 121.201; (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-forprofit enterprise which is independently
owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
After considering the economic
impacts of this direct final rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This action does not impose any
additional costs over those in the final
rule published on January 5, 2010 (75
FR 522).
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This direct final rule does not contain
a Federal mandate that may result in
expenditures of $100 million or more
for State, local, and Tribal governments,
in the aggregate, or to the private sector
in any one year. This direct final rule is
not expected to impact State, local, or
Tribal governments. Thus, this rule
would not be subject to the
requirements of sections 202 and 205 of
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA).
This final rule would also not be
subject to the requirements of section
203 of UMRA because it contains no
regulatory requirements that might
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This direct final rule does not have
federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132. This direct final
rule does not impose any requirements
on State and local governments. Thus,
Executive Order 13132 does not apply
to this rule.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This action does not have Tribal
implications, as specified in Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000). This direct final rule imposes no
requirements on Tribal governments;
thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 138 / Tuesday, July 20, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
EPA interprets Executive Order 13045
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as
applying to those regulatory actions that
concern health or safety risks, such that
the analysis required under section 5–
501 of the Order has the potential to
influence the regulation. This action is
not subject to Executive Order 13045
because it is based solely on technology
performance.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This direct final rule is not a
‘‘significant energy action’’ as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001) because it is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the
supply, distribution, or use of energy.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (‘‘NTTAA’’), Public Law
104–113 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs
EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards in its regulatory activities,
unless to do so would be inconsistent
with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus
standards are technical standards (e.g.,
materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted
by voluntary consensus standards
bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations
when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable voluntary
consensus standards.
These direct final rule amendments
do not involve technical standards as
defined in the NTTAA. Therefore, this
direct final rule is not subject to
NTTAA.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) establishes Federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
Federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:05 Jul 19, 2010
Jkt 220001
populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
EPA has determined that this direct
final rule would not have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority or low-income populations
because it increases the level of
environmental protection for all affected
populations without having any
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on any population, including any
minority or low-income population.
K. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801, et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing these final rule
amendments and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S.
House of Representatives, and the
Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the final
rule amendments in the Federal
Register. A major rule cannot take effect
until 60 days after it is published in the
Federal Register. This action is not a
‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2). This direct final rule will be
effective on November 2, 2010.

RIN 2060-AQ26
Amendments to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants: Area Source Standards for Prepared Feeds Manufacturing
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on three amendments to the
regulatory text in the prepared feeds manufacturing area source rule.
First, this action corrects the date for new sources to submit a
Notification of Compliance Status (NOCS) form. Second, this action
corrects information that needs to be included in the Notification of
Compliance Report for those small facilities that are not required to
install cyclones on their pelleting operations. Third, this action adds
language to the regulatory text that was inadvertently left out of the
final rule requiring submittal of the annual compliance certification
report. These corrections and clarifications will not change the
standards established by the rule and not result in the imposition of
any costs beyond those included in the final rule.
DATES: This direct final rule is effective on November 2, 2010, without
further

Populations
K. Congressional Review Act
I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule?
We are publishing the rule without a prior proposed rule because we
view this as a non-controversial action and anticipate no adverse
comment. As explained below, this action amends the date for new
sources to submit a Notification of Compliance Status (NOCS) form;
corrects information that needs to be included in the Notification of
Compliance Report for those small facilities that are not required to
install cyclones on their pelleting operations; and adds language to
the regulatory text that was inadvertently left out of the final rule
requiring submittal of the annual compliance certification report.
Because this is an amendment of regulatory language through
rulemaking, a redline version of the regulatory language has been
created and has been placed in the docket (https://www.regulations.gov,
see Docket No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0080) to aid the public's ability to
comment on the regulatory text.
If we receive relevant adverse comment on this direct final rule,
we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing
the public that some or all of the amendments in this rule will not
take effect. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this
time.
II. Does this action apply to me?
Regulated Entities. The regulated categories and entities
potentially affected by the final rule include:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples of regulated
Category NAICS code \1\ entities
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Animal Foods 311119 Animal feeds, prepared
Manufacturing. (except dog and cat),
manufacturing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ North American Industry Classification System.
[[Page 41993]]
This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. To determine whether your facility is regulated by this action,
you should examine the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 63.11619,
subpart DDDDDDD (NESHAP for Area Sources: Prepared Feeds
Manufacturing). If you have any questions regarding the applicability
of this action to a particular entity, consult either the state
delegated authority or the EPA regional representative, as listed in 40
CFR 63.13 of subpart A (General Provisions).
III. Where can I get a copy of this document?
Electronic Access. In addition to being available in the docket, an
electronic copy of this direct final action will also be available on
the Worldwide Web (WWW) through the Technology Transfer Network (TTN).
Following signature, a copy of this final action will be posted on the
TTN's policy and guidance page for newly proposed or promulgated rules
at the following address: https://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/. The TTN
provides information and technology exchange in various areas of air
pollution control.
IV. What amendments are we making to this rule?
On January 5, 2010 (75 FR 522), the EPA promulgated the national
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for area
source prepared feeds manufacturing facilities as subpart DDDDDDD in 40
CFR part 63. Today's action contains the following corrections and
clarifications:
1. The date for new sources to submit the Notification of
Compliance Form is corrected from ``within 120 days of startup, or by
May 4, 2012, whichever is later,'' to within 120 days of startup or
October 18, 2010, whichever is later.
2. Small facilities that are not subject to the requirement to
install and operate a cyclone to control emissions from pelleting
operations must submit documentation of their initial average daily
feed production level in their Notification of Compliance Status
report. The final rule used the incorrect term ``initial daily
pelleting production level.'' This is being corrected to indicate that
documentation of the ``initial average daily feed production level'' be
submitted.
3. The requirement to submit the annual compliance certification
report is added. This requirement was in the proposed rule but
inadvertently deleted in the final rule.
The corrections will become effective on November 2, 2010, without
further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by September 3,
2010. If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that some or
all of the amendments in this rule will take affect. Today's action
notifies interested parties of the amendments.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is,
therefore, not subject to review under the Executive Order.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
The proposed amendments result in no changes to the information
collection requirements of the existing standards of performance and
will have little or no impact on the information collection estimate of
projected cost and hour burden made and approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) during the development of the existing
standards of performance. Therefore, the information collection
requests have not been amended. However, OMB has previously approved
the information collection requirements contained in the existing
regulations (subpart DDDDDDD, 40 CFR part 63) under the provisions of
the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and has assigned
OMB control number 2060-0635 (ICR 2354.02). The OMB control numbers for
EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act 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
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small not-for-
profit enterprises, and small governmental jurisdictions.
For the purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined
by the Small Business Administration's regulations found at 13 CFR
121.201; (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 this direct final rule on
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This action
does not impose any additional costs over those in the final rule
published on January 5, 2010 (75 FR 522).
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This direct final rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may
result in expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local, and
Tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector in any
one year. This direct final rule is not expected to impact State,
local, or Tribal governments. Thus, this rule would not be subject to
the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA).
This final rule would also not be subject to the requirements of
section 203 of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that
might significantly or uniquely affect small governments.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This direct final rule does not have federalism implications. It
will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132. This direct final
rule does not impose any requirements on State and local governments.
Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have Tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This direct
final rule imposes no requirements on Tribal governments; thus,
Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
[[Page 41994]]
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
as applying to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety
risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Order
has the potential to influence the regulation. This action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is based solely on
technology performance.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This direct final rule is not a ``significant energy action'' as
defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it
is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113 (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory
activities, unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law
or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
These direct final rule amendments do not involve technical
standards as defined in the NTTAA. Therefore, this direct final rule is
not subject to NTTAA.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes
Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
EPA has determined that this direct final rule would not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it increases the
level of environmental protection for all affected populations without
having any disproportionately high and adverse human health or
environmental effects on any population, including any minority or low-
income population.
K. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801, et seq., as added by
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996,
generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy
of the rule, to each House of Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing these final
rule amendments and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the
U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of the final rule amendments in the
Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after
it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This direct final rule will be
effective on November 2, 2010.
