and normal operation from
measurements taken by a single PM and
mercury CEM.) PCA questions if this
was the EPA’s intent.
The EPA is granting the petition to
consider the question of types of
continuous monitoring allowed during
startup and shutdown for mercury and
PM.
8. Coal Mills (NESHAP and NSPS)
In the EPA’s recent amendments to
the Standards for Performance for Coal
Mills, we exempted coal mills at cement
manufacturing facilities whose only
heat source was kiln exhaust. See 74 FR
51952, October 8, 2009. This change
was made in response to comment from
PCA. PCA argued that coal mills were
similar to inline raw mills. In the case
of inline raw mills, we consider the raw
mill to be an integral part of the kiln.
PCA requested the same treatment for
coal mills, and the EPA agreed.
However, in the amendments to the
Portland Cement NESHAP and NSPS,
the EPA did not address coal mills. This
omission was due to the lack of
information on emissions from coal
mills. The EPA is granting
reconsideration to reconsider the status
of coal mills under the cement
NESHAP.

9. PM Standard for Modified Sources
Under the NSPS
The EPA adopted the level of the new
source standard under the NESHAP as
the NSPS for both new and modified
kilns. 75 FR at 54996. As PCA notes in
its petition, there need not be functional
equivalence between the NESHAP and
NSPS PM limits for modified kilns, and
further comment on the issue is
appropriate. Petition p. 17. PCA also
notes that the NSPS for modified kilns
could have associated costs which need
to be accounted for pursuant to CAA
section 111(a)(1). Since such kilns
would not be subject to the section
112(d) new source standard, any costs
for such modified kilns to control PM to
the new source limit could not be
attributed to the section 112(d) new
source limit. In addition, PCA notes that
existing Portland cement kilns cannot
be assumed to find ways to avoid
triggering the NSPS modification
criteria when making physical or
operational changes due to the
stringency of the newly adopted
standards for PM.
The EPA believes that PCA’s
arguments on this point have merit and
warrant reconsideration of the NSPS
standard for PM for modified kilns.

IV. Requests for an Administrative Stay
PCA also requests that the EPA issue
an administrative stay of the rule
pursuant to section 705 of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA),
which authorizes an agency, when it
finds that ‘‘justice so requires’’ to
‘‘postpone the effective date of action
taken by it, pending judicial review.
Petition p. 6. PCA also alludes to the
authority in section 307(d)(7)(B) of the
CAA under which the EPA may issue a
stay for up to three months if it grants
a petition to reconsider a final rule.
First, the effective date of the
NESHAP and NSPS—November 8,
2010—has already passed and thus a
stay under APA section 705 is not
appropriate. See 76 FR 4780, 4800 (Jan.
26, 2011) (‘‘[p]ostponing an effective
date implies action before the effective
date arrives’’).
Section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA
authorizes the EPA to stay a rule’s
effectiveness for three months during
reconsideration. Since the EPA is
largely denying the petitions to
reconsider and is not granting
reconsideration as to challenges to the
principal standards in the NESHAP or
NSPS, an administrative stay is not
appropriate under that authority.
In reaching these conclusions, the
EPA evaluated not only the legal
applicability of the statutory provisions
cited in PCA’s petition, but also the
merits criteria for granting stays—the
likelihood of success on the merits,
possibility of irreparable harm to the
petition, harm to other parties, and the
ultimate public interest. As discussed
above, the EPA believes that the
NESHAP is validly based on the
performance of cement kilns. The EPA’s
technical evaluation of kilns’
performance is also sound because
burning alternative fuels (whether or not
those fuels are classified as solid waste)
does not appreciably effect the amount
of HAP cement kilns emit.
The EPA also does not believe that the
industry is facing the prospect of
irreparable harm. As explained above,
the industry’s legitimate concern of
having to make critical investment
decisions without knowing the final
rules on waste classification and
standards for solid waste incinerators
has been rectified by the EPA’s issuance
of a final regulatory definition of nonhazardous secondary materials that are
solid waste and CISWI standards. In
addition, given the similarity of many of
the emissions limits, the compliance
strategy for either rule would be
expected to be similar.
Moreover, the EPA does not believe
that a stay of the rules’ compliance date
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
is in the public interest. The standards
in the rule are projected to result in
significant health benefits (thousands of
serious health incidences avoided,
including thousands fewer acute
myocardial infarctions) and the rules’
monetized benefits are projected to
substantially exceed the rules’ social
costs. 75 FR at 55027 Table 13 and
55028 (social costs estimated at $926 to
950 million (2005$) and net monetized
benefits are estimated at $6.5 billion to
$18 billion (2005$ and a 7 percent
discount rate). Cement kilns’ mercury
emissions are among the highest of any
emitting source category, and contribute
significantly to the national inventory of
airborne mercury. 75 FR at 54979
(cement industry contributes 7.5 tons of
mercury emissions per year to national
inventory of 50 tons per year). We note
that mercury is a potent and
bioaccumulative neurotoxin that
remains in the environment for an
extended period of time. As a result, the
additional mercury that would be
emitted as the result of a stay of the rule
would remain in the environment for
many years. The NESHAP here for the
first time adopts statutorily-compliant
limits to control those emissions. The
EPA does not believe it in the public
interest to delay those controls.
V. Conclusion
For all of the reasons discussed above,
the petitions to reconsider the final
NESHAP and NSPS for Portland cement
plants are denied in part and granted in
part. The EPA likewise denies the
petitions for an administrative stay.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA)
published a final rule on November 26,
2010, under Docket No. PHMSA 2008–
0291 [75 FR 72878], titled: ‘‘Pipeline
Safety: Updates to Pipeline and
Liquefied Natural Gas Reporting
Requirements’’ (One Rule). This
rulemaking revised the Pipeline Safety
Regulations (49 CFR part 190–199) to
improve the reliability and utility of
data collections from operators of
natural gas pipelines, hazardous liquid
pipelines, and LNG facilities. As a result
of the rulemaking, several annual and
incident report forms were created
while other forms were revised.
Included among these forms, PHMSA
created a new Annual Report for LNG
facilities (LNG Annual Report; PHMSA
F–7100.3–1) and revised the Annual
Report for Natural or Other Gas
Transmission and Gathering Systems
(Gas Transmission and Gathering
Annual Report; PHMSA F–7100.2–1).
The One Rule revised § 191.17 to
specify that these reports should be
submitted no later than March 15 for the
preceding year, except for Calendar Year
2010, where reports should be
submitted by June 15, 2011. This
delayed reporting date for Calendar Year
2010 was added to allow companies
time to update their information for
submission according to the revised
form.
After the One Rule was published,
PHMSA received a petition from the
American Gas Association (AGA) on
December 22, 2010, asking for
reconsideration of the information
collected on the LNG Annual Report
form. PHMSA reviewed the petition and
has revised the form based on AGA’s
recommendation. PHMSA is using this
document to announce that we are
extending the reporting date for the LNG
Annual Report form to August 15, 2011,
to allow further time to prepare the
electronic system PHMSA will use to
collect the information. Next year, the
filing date will go back to the March 15
date specified in the regulation.
In addition, PHMSA determined that
further clarifications were needed to
Parts K and L on the revised Gas
Transmission and Gathering Systems
annual report, specifically to correct
boundaries for Specified Minimum
Yield Strength, and to clarify certain
sections of Part L that were not
applicable to the regulated community
at present. Accordingly, PHMSA has
blacked out those sections of the form
to clarify the intent of the information
collection. In addition, PHMSA is
extending the Gas Transmission and
Gathering Systems report filing deadline
28327
from the stated June 15, 2011, to August
15, 2011, for PHMSA to prepare the
electronic system it will be using to
collect the information. This will also
align the filing date with the new LNG
Annual Report. Next year, the filing date
of the Gas Transmission and Gathering
Systems report will go back to the
March 15 date specified in the
regulation. The forms are available at
the following URL: https://
www.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline/library/
forms.
PHMSA has also received a number of
questions regarding NPMS submissions.
The NPMS consists of geospatial data,
attribute data, public contact
information, and metadata pertaining to
the interstate and intrastate hazardous
liquid trunklines and hazardous liquid
low-stress lines as well as gas
transmission pipelines, LNG plants, and
hazardous liquid breakout tanks
regulated by PHMSA. Most operators
submit their NPMS data to PHMSA at
the same time they file their annual
report. For example, gas transmission
operators who file their annual report
on the regular filing date of March 15 for
the previous calendar year would also
submit their NPMS data on March 15 for
the previous calendar year, reflecting
assets as of December 31, 2010.
Although PHMSA is extending the filing
date for annual report submissions,
operators are encouraged to file their
NPMS data at their regularly scheduled
times.
For clarification purposes, PHMSA is
providing the following table which
explains the reporting dates for annual
reporting:

Fishery; Framework Adjustment 1

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule implements
approved measures in Framework
Adjustment 1 to the Northeast Skate
Complex Fishery Management Plan
(Skate FMP). Framework Adjustment 1
was developed by the New England
Fishery Management Council (Council)
to adjust the possession limits for the
skate wing fishery in order to slow the
rate of skate wing landings, so that the
available Total Allowable Landings
limit (TAL) is taken by the fishery over
a longer duration in the fishing year
(FY) than occurred in FY 2010, thus
ensuring a steady market supply. The
action would also allow vessels that
process skate wings at sea to land skate
carcasses for sale into the bait market,
without counting the carcass landings
against the TAL (skate wings are already
converted to live weight for monitoring).
Although recommended by the Council
as part of Framework 1, this final rule
announces that NMFS has disapproved
a proposal to increase the incidental
possession limit for skate wings that
would apply after the skate wing
possession limit trigger is reached. This
final rule does not adjust the skate
fishery specifications for FY 2011.
DATES: Effective May 17, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In 2003, NMFS implemented the
Skate FMP to manage a complex of
seven skate species in the Northeast
Region: Winter (Leucoraja ocellata);
little (L. erinacea); thorny (Amblyraja
radiata); barndoor (Dipturus laevis);
smooth (Malacoraja senta); clearnose
(Raja eglanteria); and rosette (L.
garmani) (68 FR 49693, August 19,
2003). The FMP established biological
reference points and overfishing
definitions for each species based on
abundance indices in the NMFS
Northeast Fisheries Science Center
bottom trawl survey.
Amendment 3 to the Skate FMP,
which was implemented in July 2010,
instituted an annual catch limit (ACL)
and accountability measures (AMs) for
the skate fishery (75 FR 34049, June 16,
2010). To ensure that the ACL is not
exceeded, regulations implementing
Amendment 3 established a possession
limit of 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) of skate
wings (11,350 lb (5,148 kg) whole
weight) per trip for the skate wing
fishery, and an AM that further reduces
the wing fishery possession limit to an
incidental level of 500 lb (227 kg) of
skate wings (1,135 lb (515 kg) whole
weight) when 80 percent of the TAL for
the wing fishery is reached. In FY 2010,
the combination of increased landings
of skate wings and a delay in
implementation of the 5,000-lb (2,268kg) skate wing possession limit resulted
in the fishery reaching the 80-percent
TAL trigger in early September.
Consequently, the skate wing fishery
was limited to the incidental possession
limit of 500 lb (227 kg) of skate wings
per trip from September 3, 2010,
through the end of FY 2010 on April 30,
2011.
Asserting that the imposition of the
500-lb (227-kg) skate wing possession
limit so early in the FY caused
disruptions in the supply of skate
wings, economic hardship on fishing
vessels and dealers, and threatened to
undermine the market position of U.S.
suppliers, members of the skate wing

fishing industry requested that the
Council consider options to mitigate the
potential for this situation to be
repeated in FY 2011. In November 2010,
the Council initiated Framework 1 to
change the skate wing possession limits
in order to maximize the duration of the
skate fishing season in FY 2011. In
January 2011, the Council approved
Framework 1 and recommended that
NMFS implement new possession limits
for the skate wing fishery. On April 4,
2011, NMFS published a proposed rule
(76 FR 18505) identifying the proposed
measures in Framework 1 and informing
the public of its intention to disapprove
one measure recommended by the
Council. Comments on the proposed
rule were accepted through April 19,
2011.
Approved Measures
NMFS has approved the following
changes to the regulations governing the
skate fishery as proposed by the Council
in Framework 1:
1. The skate wing fishery possession
limit is changed from 5,000 lb (2,268 kg)
of skate wings per trip to 2,600 lb (1,179
kg) per trip from May 1 through August
31, and 4,100 lb (1,860 kg) per trip from
September 1 through April 30;
2. The skate wing fishery incidental
possession limit trigger is changed from
80 percent of the skate wing TAL to 85
percent of the skate wing TAL; and
3. The regulations governing the
allowable forms of skates that may be
possessed and landed is changed to
allow the landing of skate carcasses
separate from skate wings.
The rationale for the Council’s
proposed measures in Framework 1 was
provided in the preamble to the
proposed rule for this action and is not
repeated here. Regarding the change to
the allowable forms of skates that may
be possessed and landed, skates may
now be possessed or landed either as
wings only, wings with associated
carcasses possessed separately, in whole
form, or any combination of the three,
provided that the weight of skate
carcasses does not exceed 1.27 times the
weight of skate wings on board. This
ratio, based upon established wing-towhole weight conversion factor for
skates, is intended to assure that the
only carcasses possessed and landed
correspond to skates that have had their
wings removed and are retained by the
vessel for sale. When any combination
of wings, carcasses, and whole skates
are possessed, the possession limit is
based on the equivalent whole weight
limit where wing weight is converted to
whole weight using the wing to whole
weight conversion factor of 2.27. For
example, a vessel possessing 100 lb
