AGENCY:
EPA is taking direct final
action to promulgate amendments to a
final rule that provided national
emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants for existing stationary spark
ignition reciprocating internal
combustion engines. The final rule was
published on August 20, 2010. This
direct final action amends certain
regulatory text to clarify compliance
requirements related to continuous
parameter monitoring systems. EPA is
also correcting minor typographical
errors in the regulatory text to the
August 20, 2010, action.
DATES: The direct final rule is effective
on May 9, 2011, without further notice,
unless EPA receives significant adverse
written comment by April 8, 2011 on
any portion of this rule, or if a public
hearing is requested by March 16, 2011.
If significant adverse comments are
received on any or all of the
amendments, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
clarifying which provisions will become
effective and which provisions are being
withdrawn due to adverse comment.

I. What is the background for the
amendments?
On August 20, 2010 (75 FR 51570),
EPA issued final amendments to the
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for
Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines (RICE). EPA has
subsequently determined, following
discussions with affected parties, that
the final rule warrants clarification in
certain areas. First, certain portions of
E:\FR\FM\09MRR1.SGM
09MRR1
12864
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
the operation and maintenance
requirements for continuous parameter
monitoring systems (CPMS) are unclear.
Second, sources asked for guidance
regarding the requirement to conduct a
temperature measurement calibration
check. Finally, EPA is correcting an
inadvertent error in the definition for
‘‘spark ignition.’’ This action makes
these clarifications and corrects these
errors.
EPA is issuing the amendments as a
direct final rule, without a prior
proposal, because we view the revisions
as noncontroversial and anticipate no
adverse comment. However, in the
Proposed Rules section of this Federal
Register notice, EPA is publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposal to amend the RICE NESHAP if
significant adverse comments are filed.
EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must
do so at this time. EPA would address
all public comments in any subsequent
final rule based on the proposed rule.

II. What are the changes to the final
rule?
This direct final rule clarifies the
provisions related to the data collection
requirements for CPMS. After
promulgation of the August 20, 2010,
final rule, affected sources indicated
that the CPMS operation, maintenance,
and data collection requirements in 40
CFR 63.6625(b) were unclear. In
particular, sources were not clear about
the intent of the requirements for
minimum availability of data. This
action clarifies those requirements. It
specifies that the requirement to
monitor operating parameters on a
continuous basis applies at all times the
process is operating, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, and required
monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities. This direct
final rule also corrects an inadvertent
error in the averaging time for the
operating parameter data. Paragraph 40
CFR 63.6625(b)(4) required sources to
determine a 3-hour block average of the
parameter, which was not consistent
with the requirements in Table 6 of 40
CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ to determine
a 4-hour rolling average. This action
clarifies that sources should determine
the 4-hour rolling average as specified
in Table 6 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
ZZZZ and removes the reference to a 3hour block average in 40 CFR
63.6625(b). The operating parameter
data should be reduced to 1-hour
averages, and the 4-hour rolling average
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:00 Mar 08, 2011
Jkt 223001
should be determined using the rolling
average of the four hourly averages.
Affected sources were also unclear
regarding the requirement in 40 CFR
63.6625(k)(4) to conduct a temperature
measurement calibration check at least
every 3 months, and asked EPA for
guidance on appropriate methods for
conducting the calibration check. More
specifically, sources struggled with the
intention of the term ‘‘calibration
check,’’ wondering whether classical
techniques such as the use of ice and
boiling water baths would be the sole
acceptable means of demonstrating a
‘‘calibration check.’’ In addition, sources
wondered whether just the sensor or the
entire system should be subject to a
‘‘calibration check.’’ This action replaces
the term ‘‘calibration check’’ with
‘‘system accuracy audit’’ to better reflect
EPA’s intent. EPA recognizes that there
are many ways for a source to
demonstrate that its measurement
system—as opposed to individual
sensors—are producing and should be
expected to continue producing valid
data, and EPA affords sources the ability
to tailor their monitoring plans to
accommodate their system accuracy
audit preferences. System accuracy
audit techniques could include, but are
not limited to, the use of redundant
sensors or the use of a reference
temperature gauge inserted in a thermal
well co-located with the CPMS sensor.
In both of the examples given above,
each sensor would provide an
assessment of the other’s operation as
demonstrated through a comparison of
their individual values, and, when
coupled with the other parts of a system
accuracy audit and approved by EPA,
could fulfill the rule requirements.
Affected sources also indicated that the
requirement to conduct quarterly checks
of the temperature measurement device
was unreasonable because engines may
be located in remote locations that
could be difficult for personnel trained
in the equipment performance check
procedures to reach on a quarterly basis.
EPA recognizes that for these sources,
the requirement to conduct quarterly
checks may be too burdensome given
the remote location of the engines, and
has determined that annual checks of
the temperature measurement device
equipment are acceptable for stationary
engines to ensure the equipment is
producing valid data. EPA therefore is
amending the requirement to specify
that the temperature measurement
device checks must be performed on an
annual basis rather than quarterly.
The August 20, 2010, final
amendments specified that the engine
owner/operator must develop and
submit for approval a site-specific
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
monitoring plan for each CPMS. The
monitoring plan must address elements
of monitoring system design,
performance, and data quality assurance
and quality control consistent with the
general provisions in part 63 and
requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart
ZZZZ. EPA notes that 40 CFR 63.8(f)(4)
of the General Provisions allows the
source to use the monitoring plan
development and approval process to
propose and apply alternatives to CPMS
quality assurance and quality control
requirements identified in the rule.
Affected sources also indicated that
there was insufficient time for sources
that were already subject to 40 CFR part
63 subpart ZZZZ to comply with the
CPMS operation and maintenance
requirements established in the August
20, 2010, final rule. EPA agrees that it
is appropriate to provide a period of
lead time for sources that would have
been immediately affected by the new
specifications for CPMS operation and
maintenance. EPA is therefore
amending the final rule to provide an
additional 180 days before sources must
comply with the CPMS operation and
maintenance procedures in 40 CFR
63.6625(b).
This action also corrects an
inadvertent error in 40 CFR 63.6603(a),
which should have referenced Table 1b
to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ in
addition to Table 2b. Table 1b includes
the operating limitation requirements
for existing stationary spark ignition
four-stroke rich burn engines greater
than 500 horsepower (HP) located at
area sources of hazardous air pollutants.
The introductory text to Tables 1b and
2b should also have contained a
reference to 40 CFR 63.6603, and this
action corrects that inadvertent error.
This action also corrects an inadvertent
error in Table 1b to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart ZZZZ. The last line of Item 2 in
Table 6 should have read ‘‘* * * and
not using NSCR,’’ and this action
corrects that inadvertent error.
This action also clarifies the initial
compliance requirements in Table 5 to
40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. The table
as finalized did not clearly indicate the
initial compliance requirements for
existing non-emergency stationary
engines larger than 500 HP complying
with the option to limit the
concentration of carbon monoxide (CO)
or formaldehyde. The requirements
were only shown for existing nonemergency stationary engines larger
than 500 HP complying with the option
to meet a percent reduction requirement
for CO or formaldehyde. The
requirements for those engines meeting
a concentration limit are the same as
those meeting a percent reduction limit,
E:\FR\FM\09MRR1.SGM
09MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
except that for those engines meeting a
concentration limit, emissions are not
required to be measured at the inlet of
the emission control device as well as
the outlet. This action also corrects an
inadvertent error in Table 6 to 40 CFR
part 63, subpart ZZZZ. Item 13.a. in
Table 6 should have read ‘‘* * * and
not using an oxidation catalyst or
NSCR,’’ and this action corrects that
inadvertent error.
Finally, this action corrects the
definition for ‘‘Spark ignition.’’ The
word ‘‘with’’ was inadvertently omitted
from the definition, and EPA is
amending the definition to insert ‘‘with’’
immediately following the phrase ‘‘A
gasoline-fueled engine; or any other
type of engine. * * *’’
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and
is, therefore, not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). This action is a clarification of
and correction to certain text in the final
rule and is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined
by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). However, the final
rule promulgated on August 20, 2010,
was reviewed by OMB.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new
information collection burden. This
action adds clarifications and
corrections to the final standards.
However, OMB has previously approved
the information collection requirements
contained in the existing regulation
under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
and has assigned OMB control number
2060–0548. The OMB control numbers
for EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are
listed in 40 CFR part 9.
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES
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 will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities
include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental
jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impact
of this rule on small entities, small
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:00 Mar 08, 2011
Jkt 223001
entity is defined as: (1) A small business
as defined by Small Business
Administration (SBA) regulations 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
impact 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 because it
does not add any additional regulatory
requirements because this action only
clarifies the existing compliance
requirements and corrects typographical
errors.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA), 2 U.S.C 1531–
1538, requires Federal agencies, unless
otherwise prohibited by law, to assess
the effects of their regulatory actions on
State, local, and tribal governments and
the private sector. Federal agencies must
also develop a plan to provide notice to
small governments that might be
significantly or uniquely affected by any
regulatory requirements. The plan must
enable officials of affected small
governments to have meaningful and
timely input in the development of EPA
regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates
and must inform, educate, and advise
small governments on compliance with
the regulatory requirements.
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 the private sector in
any one year. Thus, this final rule is not
subject to the requirements of section
202 and 205 of the UMRA.
This final action is also not subject to
the requirements of section 203 of the
UMRA because it contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. This
final action contains no requirements
that apply to such governments,
imposes no obligations upon them, and
will not result in expenditures by them
of $100 million or more in any one year
or any disproportionate impacts on
them.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999) requires EPA to
develop an accountable process to
ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
12865
State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that
have federalism implications.’’ ‘‘Policies
that have federalism implications’’ is
defined in the Executive Order to
include regulations that 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.’’
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. None of the
affected facilities are owned or operated
by State governments. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to these
final rules.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Subject to the Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) EPA
may not issue a regulation that has tribal
implications, that imposes substantial
direct compliance costs, and that is not
required by statute, unless the Federal
government provides the funds
necessary to pay the direct compliance
costs incurred by tribal governments, or
EPA consults with tribal officials early
in the process of developing the
regulation and develops a tribal
summary impact statement.
This direct final rule does not have
tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000). It will not have
substantial direct effects on tribal
governments, on the relationship
between the Federal government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal government and Indian tribes,
as specified in Executive Order 13175.
The final rule imposes no new
requirements on the one tribally owned
facility. Thus, Executive Order 13175
does not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks 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 Executive Order has the
potential to influence the regulation.
This action is not subject to Executive
E:\FR\FM\09MRR1.SGM
09MRR1
12866
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
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 action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22,
2001)), because it is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866.
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES
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 (VCS) in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be
inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. VCS are
technical standards (e.g., materials
specifications, test methods, sampling
procedures, and business practices) that
are developed or adopted by VCS
bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations
when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable VCS.
This action does not involve changes
to the technical standards related to test
methods or monitoring methods; thus,
the requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272) do not apply.
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.
The direct final rule does not involve
special consideration of environmental
justice-related issues as required by
Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions
to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994), because it does not change any
regulatory requirements. This action
merely corrects and clarifies existing
requirements.

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 the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this rule 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 rule 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 action
is effective May 9, 2011.

(b) Except for monitor malfunctions,
associated repairs, required performance
evaluations, and required quality
assurance or control activities, you must
monitor continuously at all times that
the stationary RICE is operating. A
monitoring malfunction is any sudden,
infrequent, not reasonably preventable
failure of the monitoring to provide
valid data. Monitoring failures that are
caused in part by poor maintenance or
careless operation are not malfunctions.

Spark ignition means relating to
either: A gasoline-fueled engine; or any
other type of engine with a spark plug
(or other sparking device) and with
operating characteristics significantly
similar to the theoretical Otto
combustion cycle. Spark ignition
engines usually use a throttle to regulate
intake air flow to control power during
normal operation. Dual-fuel engines in
which a liquid fuel (typically diesel
fuel) is used for CI and gaseous fuel
12867
(typically natural gas) is used as the
primary fuel at an annual average ratio
of less than 2 parts diesel fuel to 100
parts total fuel on an energy equivalent
basis are spark ignition engines.

Potassium Benzoate; Exemption From
the Requirement of a Tolerance
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This regulation establishes an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of potassium
benzoate (Cas No. 582–25–2) under 40
CFR 180.910 when used as an inert
ingredient (preservative) in pesticide
formulations applied to growing crops
and raw agricultural commodities after
harvest, and under 40 CFR 180.930
when used as an inert ingredient
(preservative) in pesticide formulations
applied to animals (used for food).
Landis International, on behalf of
Whitmire Micro-Gen submitted two
petitions to EPA under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
requesting establishment of an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance. This regulation eliminates the
need to establish a maximum
permissible level for residues of
potassium benzoate.

clarify compliance requirements related to continuous parameter
monitoring systems. EPA is also correcting minor typographical errors
in the regulatory text to the August 20, 2010, action.
DATES: The direct final rule is effective on May 9, 2011, without
further notice, unless EPA receives significant adverse written comment
by April 8, 2011 on any portion of this rule, or if a public hearing is
requested by March 16, 2011. If significant adverse comments are
received on any or all of the amendments, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register clarifying which provisions will
become effective and which provisions are being withdrawn due to
adverse comment.

I. What is the background for the amendments?
On August 20, 2010 (75 FR 51570), EPA issued final amendments to
the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE). EPA
has subsequently determined, following discussions with affected
parties, that the final rule warrants clarification in certain areas.
First, certain portions of
[[Page 12864]]
the operation and maintenance requirements for continuous parameter
monitoring systems (CPMS) are unclear. Second, sources asked for
guidance regarding the requirement to conduct a temperature measurement
calibration check. Finally, EPA is correcting an inadvertent error in
the definition for ``spark ignition.'' This action makes these
clarifications and corrects these errors.
EPA is issuing the amendments as a direct final rule, without a
prior proposal, because we view the revisions as noncontroversial and
anticipate no adverse comment. However, in the Proposed Rules section
of this Federal Register notice, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to amend the RICE NESHAP if significant
adverse comments are filed. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time. EPA would address all public comments in any subsequent
final rule based on the proposed rule.
II. What are the changes to the final rule?
This direct final rule clarifies the provisions related to the data
collection requirements for CPMS. After promulgation of the August 20,
2010, final rule, affected sources indicated that the CPMS operation,
maintenance, and data collection requirements in 40 CFR 63.6625(b) were
unclear. In particular, sources were not clear about the intent of the
requirements for minimum availability of data. This action clarifies
those requirements. It specifies that the requirement to monitor
operating parameters on a continuous basis applies at all times the
process is operating, except for periods of monitoring system
malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions,
and required monitoring system quality assurance or quality control
activities. This direct final rule also corrects an inadvertent error
in the averaging time for the operating parameter data. Paragraph 40
CFR 63.6625(b)(4) required sources to determine a 3-hour block average
of the parameter, which was not consistent with the requirements in
Table 6 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ to determine a 4-hour rolling
average. This action clarifies that sources should determine the 4-hour
rolling average as specified in Table 6 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ
and removes the reference to a 3-hour block average in 40 CFR
63.6625(b). The operating parameter data should be reduced to 1-hour
averages, and the 4-hour rolling average should be determined using the
rolling average of the four hourly averages.
Affected sources were also unclear regarding the requirement in 40
CFR 63.6625(k)(4) to conduct a temperature measurement calibration
check at least every 3 months, and asked EPA for guidance on
appropriate methods for conducting the calibration check. More
specifically, sources struggled with the intention of the term
``calibration check,'' wondering whether classical techniques such as
the use of ice and boiling water baths would be the sole acceptable
means of demonstrating a ``calibration check.'' In addition, sources
wondered whether just the sensor or the entire system should be subject
to a ``calibration check.'' This action replaces the term ``calibration
check'' with ``system accuracy audit'' to better reflect EPA's intent.
EPA recognizes that there are many ways for a source to demonstrate
that its measurement system--as opposed to individual sensors--are
producing and should be expected to continue producing valid data, and
EPA affords sources the ability to tailor their monitoring plans to
accommodate their system accuracy audit preferences. System accuracy
audit techniques could include, but are not limited to, the use of
redundant sensors or the use of a reference temperature gauge inserted
in a thermal well co-located with the CPMS sensor. In both of the
examples given above, each sensor would provide an assessment of the
other's operation as demonstrated through a comparison of their
individual values, and, when coupled with the other parts of a system
accuracy audit and approved by EPA, could fulfill the rule
requirements. Affected sources also indicated that the requirement to
conduct quarterly checks of the temperature measurement device was
unreasonable because engines may be located in remote locations that
could be difficult for personnel trained in the equipment performance
check procedures to reach on a quarterly basis. EPA recognizes that for
these sources, the requirement to conduct quarterly checks may be too
burdensome given the remote location of the engines, and has determined
that annual checks of the temperature measurement device equipment are
acceptable for stationary engines to ensure the equipment is producing
valid data. EPA therefore is amending the requirement to specify that
the temperature measurement device checks must be performed on an
annual basis rather than quarterly.
The August 20, 2010, final amendments specified that the engine
owner/operator must develop and submit for approval a site-specific
monitoring plan for each CPMS. The monitoring plan must address
elements of monitoring system design, performance, and data quality
assurance and quality control consistent with the general provisions in
part 63 and requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. EPA notes
that 40 CFR 63.8(f)(4) of the General Provisions allows the source to
use the monitoring plan development and approval process to propose and
apply alternatives to CPMS quality assurance and quality control
requirements identified in the rule.
Affected sources also indicated that there was insufficient time
for sources that were already subject to 40 CFR part 63 subpart ZZZZ to
comply with the CPMS operation and maintenance requirements established
in the August 20, 2010, final rule. EPA agrees that it is appropriate
to provide a period of lead time for sources that would have been
immediately affected by the new specifications for CPMS operation and
maintenance. EPA is therefore amending the final rule to provide an
additional 180 days before sources must comply with the CPMS operation
and maintenance procedures in 40 CFR 63.6625(b).
This action also corrects an inadvertent error in 40 CFR
63.6603(a), which should have referenced Table 1b to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart ZZZZ in addition to Table 2b. Table 1b includes the operating
limitation requirements for existing stationary spark ignition four-
stroke rich burn engines greater than 500 horsepower (HP) located at
area sources of hazardous air pollutants. The introductory text to
Tables 1b and 2b should also have contained a reference to 40 CFR
63.6603, and this action corrects that inadvertent error. This action
also corrects an inadvertent error in Table 1b to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart ZZZZ. The last line of Item 2 in Table 6 should have read ``* *
* and not using NSCR,'' and this action corrects that inadvertent
error.
This action also clarifies the initial compliance requirements in
Table 5 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. The table as finalized did not
clearly indicate the initial compliance requirements for existing non-
emergency stationary engines larger than 500 HP complying with the
option to limit the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) or
formaldehyde. The requirements were only shown for existing non-
emergency stationary engines larger than 500 HP complying with the
option to meet a percent reduction requirement for CO or formaldehyde.
The requirements for those engines meeting a concentration limit are
the same as those meeting a percent reduction limit,
[[Page 12865]]
except that for those engines meeting a concentration limit, emissions
are not required to be measured at the inlet of the emission control
device as well as the outlet. This action also corrects an inadvertent
error in Table 6 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. Item 13.a. in Table 6
should have read ``* * * and not using an oxidation catalyst or NSCR,''
and this action corrects that inadvertent error.
Finally, this action corrects the definition for ``Spark
ignition.'' The word ``with'' was inadvertently omitted from the
definition, and EPA is amending the definition to insert ``with''
immediately following the phrase ``A gasoline-fueled engine; or any
other type of engine. * * *''
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' and is, therefore, not subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). This action is a clarification of and
correction to certain text in the final rule and is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). However, the final rule
promulgated on August 20, 2010, was reviewed by OMB.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
This action adds clarifications and corrections to the final standards.
However, OMB has previously approved the information collection
requirements contained in the existing regulation under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned
OMB control number 2060-0548. 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 will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations,
and small governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impact of this rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined
by Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations 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 impact 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 because it does not
add any additional regulatory requirements because this action only
clarifies the existing compliance requirements and corrects
typographical errors.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), 2 U.S.C 1531-
1538, requires Federal agencies, unless otherwise prohibited by law, to
assess the effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and
tribal governments and the private sector. Federal agencies must also
develop a plan to provide notice to small governments that might be
significantly or uniquely affected by any regulatory requirements. The
plan must enable officials of affected small governments to have
meaningful and timely input in the development of EPA regulatory
proposals with significant Federal intergovernmental mandates and must
inform, educate, and advise small governments on compliance with the
regulatory requirements.
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 the private sector in any one
year. Thus, this final rule is not subject to the requirements of
section 202 and 205 of the UMRA.
This final action is also not subject to the requirements of
section 203 of the UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements
that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This
final action contains no requirements that apply to such governments,
imposes no obligations upon them, and will not result in expenditures
by them of $100 million or more in any one year or any disproportionate
impacts on them.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) requires EPA
to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely
input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have
federalism implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include
regulations that 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.''
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. None of the affected
facilities are owned or operated by State governments. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to these final rules.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Subject to the Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000) EPA may not issue a regulation that has tribal implications, that
imposes substantial direct compliance costs, and that is not required
by statute, unless the Federal government provides the funds necessary
to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by tribal governments, or
EPA consults with tribal officials early in the process of developing
the regulation and develops a tribal summary impact statement.
This direct final rule does not have tribal implications, as
specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). It
will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the
relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175.
The final rule imposes no new requirements on the one tribally owned
facility. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks 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
Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This
action is not subject to Executive
[[Page 12866]]
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 action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.
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 (VCS) in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. VCS are technical standards
(e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and
business practices) that are developed or adopted by VCS bodies. NTTAA
directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the
Agency decides not to use available and applicable VCS.
This action does not involve changes to the technical standards
related to test methods or monitoring methods; thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272) do not apply.
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.
The direct final rule does not involve special consideration of
environmental justice-related issues as required by Executive Order
12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994),
because it does not change any regulatory requirements. This action
merely corrects and clarifies existing requirements.
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 the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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 rule 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 action is effective May 9, 2011.

2. Section 63.6603 is amended by revising paragraph (a) to read as
follows:
Sec. 63.6603 What emission limitations and operating limitations must
I meet if I own or operate an existing stationary RICE located at an
area source of HAP emissions?
* * * * *
(a) If you own or operate an existing stationary RICE located at an
area source of HAP emissions, you must comply with the requirements in
Table 2d to this subpart and the operating limitations in Table 1b and
Table 2b to this subpart that apply to you.
* * * * *

3. Section 63.6625 is amended by revising paragraph (b) and removing
paragraph (k) to read as follows:
Sec. 63.6625 What are my monitoring, installation, collection,
operation, and maintenance requirements?
* * * * *
(b) If you are required to install a continuous parameter
monitoring system (CPMS) as specified in Table 5 of this subpart, you
must install, operate, and maintain each CPMS according to the
requirements in paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of this section. For an
affected source that is complying with the emission limitations and
operating limitations on March 9, 2011, the requirements in paragraph
(b) of this section are applicable September 6, 2011.
(1) You must prepare a site-specific monitoring plan that addresses
the monitoring system design, data collection, and the quality
assurance and quality control elements outlined in paragraphs (b)(1)(i)
through (v) of this section and in Sec. 63.8(d). As specified in Sec.
63.8(f)(4), you may request approval of monitoring system quality
assurance and quality control procedures alternative to those specified
in paragraphs (b)(1) through (5) of this section in your site-specific
monitoring plan.
(i) The performance criteria and design specifications for the
monitoring system equipment, including the sample interface, detector
signal analyzer, and data acquisition and calculations;
(ii) Sampling interface (e.g., thermocouple) location such that the
monitoring system will provide representative measurements;
(iii) Equipment performance evaluations, system accuracy audits, or
other audit procedures;
(iv) Ongoing operation and maintenance procedures in accordance
with provisions in Sec. 63.8(c)(1) and (c)(3); and
(v) Ongoing reporting and recordkeeping procedures in accordance
with provisions in Sec. 63.10(c), (e)(1), and (e)(2)(i).
(2) You must install, operate, and maintain each CPMS in continuous
operation according to the procedures in your site-specific monitoring
plan.
(3) The CPMS must collect data at least once every 15 minutes (see
also Sec. 63.6635).
(4) For a CPMS for measuring temperature range, the temperature
sensor must have a minimum tolerance of 2.8 degrees Celsius (5 degrees
Fahrenheit) or 1 percent of the measurement range, whichever is larger.
(5) You must conduct the CPMS equipment performance evaluation,
system accuracy audits, or other audit procedures specified in your

4. Section 63.6635 is amended by revising paragraphs (b) and (c) to
read as follows:
Sec. 63.6635 How do I monitor and collect data to demonstrate
continuous compliance?
* * * * *
(b) Except for monitor malfunctions, associated repairs, required
performance evaluations, and required quality assurance or control
activities, you must monitor continuously at all times that the
stationary RICE is operating. A monitoring malfunction is any sudden,
infrequent, not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring to
provide valid data. Monitoring failures that are caused in part by poor
maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions.
(c) You may not use data recorded during monitoring malfunctions,
associated repairs, and required quality assurance or control
activities in data averages and calculations used to report emission or
operating levels. You must, however, use all the valid data collected
during all other periods.

5. Section 63.6675 is amended by revising the definition of Spark
ignition to read as follows:
Sec. 63.6635 What definitions apply to this subpart?
* * * * *
Spark ignition means relating to either: A gasoline-fueled engine;
or any other type of engine with a spark plug (or other sparking
device) and with operating characteristics significantly similar to the
theoretical Otto combustion cycle. Spark ignition engines usually use a
throttle to regulate intake air flow to control power during normal
operation. Dual-fuel engines in which a liquid fuel (typically diesel
fuel) is used for CI and gaseous fuel (typically natural gas) is used
as the primary fuel at an annual average ratio of less than 2 parts
diesel fuel to 100 parts total fuel on an energy equivalent basis are
spark ignition engines.
