SUMMARY: PHMSA is reopening the
period for comments on NYSDEC’s
petition for reconsideration of PHMSA’s

findings that Federal hazardous material
transportation law preempts the

Frazer C. Hilder, Office of Chief
Counsel, Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration, U.S.
Department of Transportation, 1200
New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington,
DC 20590–0001 (Tel. No. 202–366–
4400).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In PD–19(R), published in the Federal
Register on January 23, 2009 (74 FR
4291), PHMSA considered NYSDEC’s
requirements for marking a gasoline
transport vehicle, near the DOT
specification plate, to indicate that it
has been successfully tested for vapor
tightness in accordance with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s
‘‘Method 27—Determination of Vapor
Tightness of Gasoline Delivery Tank
Using Pressure-Vacuum Test’’ as set
forth in Appendix A to 40 CFR part 60,
and related requirements for
maintaining records of pressure-vacuum
test results.
PHMSA found that Federal hazardous
material transportation law preempts
the requirements (1) that the marking
must be a minimum two inches and
contain ‘‘NYS DEC’’ (6 NYCRR
230.4(a)(3)); (2) for maintaining a copy
of the most recent pressure-vacuum test
results with the gasoline transport
vehicle (6 NYCRR 230.6(b)); and (3) to
retain pressure-vacuum test and repair
results for two years (6 NYCRR
230.6(c)), because these requirements
are not substantively the same as
requirements in the HMR on the
marking, maintaining, repairing, or
testing of a package or container that is
represented, marked, certified, or sold
as qualified for transporting hazardous
material.
Within the 20-day time period
provided in 49 CFR 107.211(a),
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:12 Aug 25, 2010
Jkt 220001
NYSDEC submitted a petition for
reconsideration of PHMSA’s decision in
PD–19(R). The American Trucking
Associations, Inc. (ATA) and its
affiliated National Tank Truck Carriers,
Inc. (NTTC) submitted comments in
response to NYSDEC’s petition for
reconsideration. Subsequently, NYSDEC
purported to ‘‘object’’ to the ATA and
NTTC comments and, thereafter, called
attention to the President’s May 20,
2009 Memorandum on ‘‘Preemption’’ (74
FR 24693 (May 22, 2009)), to which
ATA submitted a further response.
Recently, PHMSA received e-mails
from counsel for NTTC asking about the
status of PHMSA’s decision on
NYSDEC’s petition for reconsideration
and indicating that NYSDEC was
seeking to settle a citation issued to a
motor carrier in 2006.
II. EPA Requirements
When PHMSA issued its
determinations in PD–19(R), we were
unaware of a final rule published by
EPA on January 10, 2008, that added to
40 CFR part 63 a new subpart CCCCCC
on ‘‘National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source
Category: Gasoline Dispensing
Facilities.’’ 73 FR 1916. In Table 2 of this
subpart, EPA adopted the requirement,
effective on the date of publication in
the Federal Register, that: ‘‘The filling of
storage tanks at GDF [gasoline
dispensing facilities] shall be limited to
unloading by vapor-tight gasoline cargo
tanks. Documentation that the cargo
tank has met the specifications of EPA
Method 27 shall be carried on the cargo
tank.’’ 73 FR at 1949 (emphasis
supplied). In addition, EPA has advised
PHMSA that the following
recordkeeping requirement in 40 CFR
63.10(b)(1) is applicable to records of
the Method 27 pressure-vacuum test:
The owner or operator of an affected source
subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain files of all information (including
all reports and notification) required by this
part recorded in a form suitable and readily
available for expeditious inspection and
review. The files shall be retained for at least
5 years following the date of each occurrence,
measurement, maintenance, corrective
action, report, or record. At a minimum, the
most recent 2 years of data shall be retained
on site. The remaining 3 years of data may
be retained off-site. Such files may be
maintained on microfilm, on a computer, on
computer floppy disks, on magnetic tape
disks, or on microfiche.
(emphasis supplied)
In response to petitions for
reconsideration of its January 10, 2008
final rule, EPA has published a notice
proposing to make amendments and
clarifications to its requirements in 40
CFR part 63. 74 FR 66470 (Dec. 15,
PO 00000
Frm 00089
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
2009). Among the proposals in the EPA
notice is a proposal to revise the
retention requirement in Table 2 to
subpart CCCCCC of part 63 to provide
that ‘‘Documentation that the cargo tank
has met the specifications of EPA
Method 27 shall be carried with the
cargo tank, as specified in
§ 63.11125(c).’’ 74 FR at 66494
(proposed new language in italics).
Proposed new paragraph (c) of section
§ 63.11125 would provide:
(c) Each owner or operator of a gasoline
cargo tank subject to the management
practices in Table 2 to this subpart must keep
records documenting vapor tightness testing
for a period of 5 years. Documentation must
include each of the items specified in
§ 63.11094(B)(1) through (viii). Records of
vapor tightness must be retained as specified
in either paragraph (c)(1) or paragraph (c)(2)
of this section.
(1) The owner or operator must keep all
vapor tightness testing records with the cargo
tank.
(2) As an alternative to keeping all records
with the cargo tank, the owner or operator
may comply with the requirements of
paragraphs (c)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) The owner or operator may keep records
of only the most recent vapor tightness test
with the cargo tank and keep records for the
previous 4 years at their office or another
central location.
(ii) Vapor tightness testing records that are
kept at a location other than with the cargo
tank must be instantly available (e.g., e-mail
or facsimile) to the Administrator’s
designated representative during the course
of a site visit or within a mutually agreeable
time frame. Such records must be an exact
duplicate image of the original paper copy
record with certifying signatures.
74 FR at 66492–93.
III. Public Comments
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the effect on the pending
petition for reconsideration of PD–19(R)
of the existing Federal requirements
promulgated at 40 CFR part 63, subpart
CCCCCC, and the proposed changes to
subpart CCCCCC of 40 CFR part 63.
Comments should specifically address,
with respect to each aspect of the
NYSDEC recordkeeping requirements in
6 NYCRR 230.6(b) and (c), whether
those requirements are ‘‘authorized by
another law of the United States,’’ under
the preemption criteria set forth in 49
U.S.C. 5125(a) and (b)(1).
Issued in Washington, DC on August 23,
2010.
