Technical Amendments to
Performance Specification 18 and
Procedure 6
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Partial withdrawal of direct
final rule.
AGENCY:
Because the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) received
adverse comment, we are withdrawing a
portion of the May 19, 2016, direct final
rule that made several minor technical
amendments to the performance
specifications and test procedures for
hydrogen chloride (HCl) continuous
emission monitoring systems (CEMS).
The adverse comments related to
revisions to Procedure 6 and thus the
EPA is withdrawing the portion of the
direct final rule that revised Procedure
6.
DATES: Effective August 8, 2016, the
EPA withdraws the revisions to
Procedure 6, sections 4.1.5, 4.1.5.1,
4.1.5.3, and 5.2.4.2, published at 81 FR
31515, on May 19, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
19, 2016, the EPA published a direct
final rule that makes minor technical
amendments to the performance
specifications and test procedures for
hydrogen chloride (HCl) continuous
emission monitoring systems (CEMS).
81 FR 31515. In the direct final rule, the
EPA stated that if we received adverse
comment by July 5, 2016, the EPA
would publish a timely withdrawal and
address the comments in a subsequent
final rule based on the proposed rule
also published on May 19, 2016 (81 FR
31577). The May 19, 2016, direct final
rule noted that if the EPA received
adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and, if
that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, the EPA may
adopt as final those provisions of the
rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.

Jkt 238001
In this instance, the EPA received an
adverse comment on an amendment to
the quality assurance provision in
Procedure 6, related to above span
requirements. 81 FR 31517. The
portions of the direct final rule revising
Performance Standard 18 are severable
from the revisions to Procedure 6. Thus,
the EPA is only withdrawing the
revisions to Procedure 6. The EPA will
address the comment in a subsequent
final action, which will be based on the
parallel proposed rule also published on
May 19, 2016 (81 FR 31515). As stated
in the parallel proposal, we will not
institute a second comment period on
this proposed action. The revisions to
Performance Standard 18 in the May 19,
2016, direct final rule are not affected
and will become effective on August 17,
2016, as provided in the direct final
rule.

Technical Amendments to Performance Specification 18 and
Procedure 6
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Partial withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Because the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received
adverse comment, we are withdrawing a portion of the May 19, 2016,
direct final rule that made several minor technical amendments to the
performance specifications and test procedures for hydrogen chloride
(HCl) continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). The adverse
comments related to revisions to Procedure 6 and thus the EPA is
withdrawing the portion of the direct final rule that revised Procedure
6.
DATES: Effective August 8, 2016, the EPA withdraws the revisions to
Procedure 6, sections 4.1.5, 4.1.5.1, 4.1.5.3, and 5.2.4.2, published
at 81 FR 31515, on May 19, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 19, 2016, the EPA published a direct
final rule that makes minor technical amendments to the performance
specifications and test procedures for hydrogen chloride (HCl)
continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). 81 FR 31515. In the
direct final rule, the EPA stated that if we received adverse comment
by July 5, 2016, the EPA would publish a timely withdrawal and address
the comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule also
published on May 19, 2016 (81 FR 31577). The May 19, 2016, direct final
rule noted that if the EPA received adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and, if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as final
those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse
comment.
In this instance, the EPA received an adverse comment on an
amendment to the quality assurance provision in Procedure 6, related to
above span requirements. 81 FR 31517. The portions of the direct final
rule revising Performance Standard 18 are severable from the revisions
to Procedure 6. Thus, the EPA is only withdrawing the revisions to
Procedure 6. The EPA will address the comment in a subsequent final
action, which will be based on the parallel proposed rule also
published on May 19, 2016 (81 FR 31515). As stated in the parallel
proposal, we will not institute a second comment period on this
proposed action. The revisions to Performance Standard 18 in the May
19, 2016, direct final rule are not affected and will become effective
on August 17, 2016, as provided in the direct final rule.
