Information Available From This
Notice
The EPA Air Pollution Control Cost
Manual provides guidance for the
development of accurate and consistent
costs for air pollution control devices.
The Control Cost Manual focuses on
point source and stationary area source
air pollution controls for volatile
organic compounds, particulate matter,
oxides of nitrogen (NOX), and certain
acid gases (primarily sulfur dioxide and
hydrochloric acid). The EPA is currently
updating the Control Cost Manual. This
update will be the Seventh Edition and
is required under the authority of the
2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act.
The Control Cost Manual contains
individual chapters on control
E:\FR\FM\14JNN1.SGM
14JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 114 / Tuesday, June 14, 2016 / Notices
measures, including data and equations
to aid users in estimating capital costs
for installation and annual costs for
operation and maintenance of these
measures. The Control Cost Manual is
used by the EPA for estimating the
impacts of rulemakings, and serves as a
basis for sources to estimate costs of
controls that are Best Available Control
Technology under the New Source
Review Permitting Program and Best
Available Retrofit Technology under the
Regional Haze Program and for other
programs.
The two Control Cost Manual
chapters that have been revised include
‘‘Chapter 1—Selective Non-Catalytic
Reduction’’ and ‘‘Chapter 2—Selective
Catalytic Reduction.’’ These two
chapters are the first two chapters to be
released for the Seventh Edition of the
Control Cost Manual and replace the
Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction and
Selective Catalytic Reduction chapters
in the current Control Cost Manual
Sixth Edition. A response to comment
(RTC) document summarizing
comments and agency responses is
available for each chapter. In addition,
cost calculation information is provided
electronically for each chapter enabling
estimation of costs for installing and
operating NOx control measures. The
final chapters, RTC and cost calculation
documents are available at https://
www3.epa.gov/ttn/ecas/cost_
manual.html. In addition, all public
comments received by the agency are
available in the docket for this Notice of
Availability (EPA–HQ–OAR–2015–
0341).
The Control Cost Manual was last
updated in 2003. The development of
the Control Cost Manual Seventh
Edition is in response to the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2014, which requested that the EPA
begin development of a seventh edition
of the Control Cost Manual.

II. Background
The EPA conducted this review under
the authority of Section 9 of the WIPP
Land Withdrawal Act (WIPP LWA, Pub.
L. Nos. 102–579 and 104–201). Section
9(a)(1) of the WIPP LWA requires that,
as of the date of the enactment of the
WIPP LWA, the DOE shall comply with
respect to the WIPP with (1) regulations
for the management and storage of
radioactive waste (40 CFR part 191,
subpart A); (2) the Clean Air Act; (3) the
Solid Waste Disposal Act; (4) the Safe
Drinking Water Act; (5) the Toxic
Substances Control Act; (6) the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act; and (7) all other applicable Federal
laws pertaining to public health and
safety or the environment. Section
9(a)(2) of the WIPP LWA requires the
DOE biennially to submit to the EPA
documentation of continued compliance
with the laws, regulations, and permit
requirements set forth in Section 9(a)(1).
As outlined in the EPA’s letter to the
Secretary of Energy, the Agency has
been able to conclude its review of the
WIPP BECR for the reporting period,
April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2014
based on receipt of all cumulative
documentation from DOE and the
Settlement Agreement between the State
of New Mexico and the Department.
EPA will consider the DOE’s
compliance with the Settlement
Agreement as part of its review of the
Department’s compliance for the next
reporting period, from April 1, 2014 to
March 31, 2016, and subsequent
reporting periods as appropriate. The
Agency will continue its oversight of the
WIPP and continue to work
cooperatively with the DOE, the State of
New Mexico and the public to ensure
that the WIPP is protective of human
health and the environment. All
relevant information related to this
review—including this notice and the
letter to the Secretary of Energy—are
available online via the WIPP news Web
site (https://www.epa.gov/radiation/
wipp-news) and the aforementioned
docket on regulations.gov (EPA–HQ–
OAR–2016–0265).
This determination is not in any way
related to, or a part of, the EPA’s
certification and recertification
decisions regarding whether the WIPP
complies with the Agency’s disposal
