Kraft Pulp Mills NSPS Review, 38877-38878 [2013-15609]

Download as PDF sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 125 / Friday, June 28, 2013 / Proposed Rules date as the approved BART. Additionally, the permit provides that unless LNBs have been installed and operating, as required in Permit Condition 3.7, on and after July 22, 2016, the Riley Boiler may be fired only using natural gas, and that on, and after July 22, 2016, the Riley Boiler may not be fired with coal until such date that the coal-fired LNBs are installed and operated in accordance with the permit. See 2011 TASCO Tier II Operating Permit, Permit Condition 3.9. Permit condition 14.9 of TASCO’s Tier I Operating Permit T1–050020, issued May 23, 2006, required the North and Central pulp dryers to be permanently shut down and Permit Condition 4.1 of the 2011 TASCO Tier II Operating Permit, requires the South Pulp Dryer to be permanently shutdown. Thus, there is no delay in compliance with BART requirements under the BART Alternative. The 2011 TASCO Tier II Operating Permit contains the emission limitations discussed above. See 2011 TASCO Tier II Operating Permit, Permit Condition 3.4 and 3.5. The permit also contains requirements for a non-visibility impairing pollutant, specifically carbon monoxide (CO). Permit Condition 3.12 requires performance testing for CO. The EPA proposes no action on this permit condition, as it does not pertain to visibility. The second paragraph of Condition 3.3 of the Permit allows TASCO to submit a request to obtain IDEQ approved alternatives to BART and to revise the Permit and explains that IDEQ will process the request in accordance with its permitting rules. The condition further provides that the request must be submitted in time for any such revision to the permit and the corresponding revision to the RH SIP to be approved prior to July 22, 2016. This provision is administrative in nature and addresses the State’s procedure for possible future revisions to the permit. As such it is not necessary or appropriate for EPA to act on this provision. Nevertheless, we note that a revision to a Federally approved permit must meet applicable Federal requirements before it could be incorporated into the Federally approved SIP. The EPA cannot assure Idaho or TASCO that any submitted BART Alternative measure will be approved until that measure has been thoroughly evaluated by the EPA as meeting Federal requirements. V. The EPA’s Proposed Action The EPA is proposing to vacate our previous BART determination for the TASCO facility and to approve Idaho’s VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:11 Jun 27, 2013 Jkt 229001 2012 RH SIP submittal including the revised NOX BART determination for the TASCO Riley Boiler and the 2011 TASCO Tier II Operating Permit containing the BART Alternative conditions 1.2 including the table of Regulated Emission Point Sources Table, 3.2, 3.3 (first paragraph only), 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, and 4.1. Specifically, the EPA proposes to approve new BART emission limitations for NOX, the revised PM emission limitations and the BART Alternative at the TASCO facility because they provide greater overall reasonable progress toward achieving natural conditions in affected Class I areas than the previously approved BART determination for the TASCO facility. VI. Statutory and Executive Order Review Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this proposed action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action: • Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993); • Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); • Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); • Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); • Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999); • Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); • Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 38877 • Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; and • Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the rule neither imposes substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempts tribal law. Therefore, the requirements of section 5(b) and 5(c) of the Executive Order do not apply to this rule.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: FRA issues this proposed rule in accordance with a statutory mandate that the Secretary of Transportation require certain major railroads to develop, and submit to the Secretary for approval, critical incident stress plans that provide for appropriate support services to be offered to their employees who are affected by a ‘‘critical incident’’ as defined by the Secretary. The NPRM proposes a definition of the term ‘‘critical incident,’’ the elements appropriate for the rail environment to be included in a railroad’s critical incident stress plan, the type of employees to be covered by the plan, a requirement that a covered railroad submit its plan to FRA for approval, and a requirement that a railroad adopt and comply with its FRA-approved plan. DATES: Written comments must be received by August 27, 2013. Comments received after that date will be considered to the extent possible without incurring additional delay or expense. FRA does not believe that a public, oral hearing will be necessary. However, if FRA receives a specific request for a public, oral hearing prior to July 29, 2013, FRA will schedule a hearing and publish a supplemental notice in the Federal Register to inform interested parties of the date, time, and location of any such hearing.
