SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
described above, the EPA finalized these
actions to fulfill its obligations under a
settlement agreement, which resolves a
petition for judicial review on actions
the EPA took on April 20, 2015. On
April 20, 2015, the EPA issued new and
revised emissions factors for flares and
other refinery process units and issued
its final determination that revisions to
existing emissions factors for tanks and
wastewater treatment systems were not
necessary in order to fulfill its
obligations under a consent decree.
Plaintiffs alleged that the EPA failed to
perform nondiscretionary duties
pursuant to Clean Air Act (CAA) section
130 to review, and, if necessary, revise
the emissions factors for volatile organic
compounds (VOC) for flares, liquid
storage tanks (‘‘tanks’’), and wastewater
collection, treatment and storage
systems (‘‘wastewater treatment
systems’’) at least once every 3 years.
See Air Alliance Houston, et al. v. EPA,
Case No. 15–1210 (D.C. Cir.) and Air
Alliance Houston, et al. v. McCarthy,
No. 1:13–cv–00621–KBJ (D.D.C.).
The settlement agreement outlined 20
specific Source Classification Codes
(SCCs) that Plaintiffs argued should be
included in Tables 13.5–1 and 13.5–2 of
AP–42, Compilation of Air Pollutant
Emission Factors. AP–42 is the primary
compilation of EPA’s emissions factor
information. Additionally, Plaintiffs
sought minor clarifications to the text in
Section 13.5 of AP–42, as well as an
update to the VOC emissions factor due
to errors in the original calculation.
Per the requirements of the settlement
agreement, this final action was issued
by December 16, 2016. To support this
action, we developed a memorandum to
document our determinations in regards
to the 20 SCCs specified in the
settlement agreement. We also revised
section 13.5 of AP–42, the supporting
background documentation, and the
previously issued report, Review of
Emissions Test Reports for Emissions
Factors Development for Flares and
Certain Refinery Operations. The SCC

determination memorandum and the
revised report, along with a link to the
updated section in AP–42 and
supporting background documentation,
were posted on the Web site listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this document
on December 14, 2016.
These actions constitute final agency
action of national applicability for
purposes of section 307(b)(1) of the
CAA. Pursuant to CAA section
307(b)(1), judicial review of these final
agency actions may be sought only in
the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit.
Petitions for review must be filed by
March 24, 2017. Judicial review of these
final agency actions may not be
obtained in subsequent proceedings,
pursuant to CAA section 307(b)(2).
These actions are not a rulemaking and
are not subject to the various statutory
and other provisions applicable to a
rulemaking.
