VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
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 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 action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• 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);
• 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, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
or in any other area where EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
VerDate Sep<11>2014

tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
This action proposes
amendments to the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics
Manufacturing. The proposed
amendments are in response to a
petition for reconsideration filed by
industry stakeholders on the final rule
promulgated on October 26, 2015, as
well as our review of the 2015 rule with
respect to other issues raised by
stakeholders. This action proposes to
revise the temperature monitoring
methodology used to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the dioxin/
furan (D/F) emissions limit of the final
rule. In addition, we are proposing to
address concerns raised by industry
stakeholders regarding visible emissions
(VE) monitoring of tunnel kiln stacks for
continuous compliance with particulate
matter (PM) and mercury (Hg) emission
limitations. This action also proposes to
amend the requirements for weekly
visual inspections of system ductwork
and control device equipment for water
curtain spray booths. Lastly, this action
proposes to amend the NESHAP to
include provisions for emissions
averaging and make technical
corrections.

Table 1 of this preamble lists the
NESHAP and associated regulated
industrial source categories that are the
subject of this proposal. Table 1 is not
intended to be exhaustive, but rather
provides a guide for readers regarding
the entities that this proposed action is
likely to affect. The proposed
amendments, once promulgated, will be
directly applicable to the affected
sources. Federal, state, local, and tribal
government entities would not be
affected by this proposed action. As
defined in the Initial List of Categories
of Sources Under Section 112(c)(1) of
the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
(see 57 FR 31576, July 16, 1992) and
Documentation for Developing the
Initial Source Category List (see EPA–
450/3–91–030), the Clay Products
Manufacturing source category, as
originally listed, included any facility
engaged in manufacturing of clay
products such as brick, vitrified clay
pipe, structural clay tile, and clay
refractories. The Clay Products
Manufacturing source category has since
been replaced by the Brick and
Structural Clay Products (BSCP)
Manufacturing source category and the
Clay Ceramics Manufacturing source
category (see 67 FR 47894, July 22,
2002).

Federal Register on May 16, 2003 (68
FR 26690), and codified at 40 CFR part
63, subpart KKKKK, pursuant to section
112 of the CAA. These standards were

challenged and subsequently vacated by
the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit in 2007.
See Sierra Club v. EPA, 479 F.3d 875,
876 (D.C. Cir. 2007). Following the 2007
vacatur of the 2003 rule, the EPA
collected additional data and
information to support new standards
for the clay ceramics industry. This
information is contained in the docket
at https://www.regulations.gov (see
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–
0290). On December 18, 2014, the EPA
proposed new NESHAP for Clay
Ceramics Manufacturing (79 FR 75622).
The EPA received additional data and
comments during the public comment
period. These data and comments were
considered and analyzed and, where
appropriate, revisions to the NESHAP
were made. The NESHAP for Clay
Ceramics Manufacturing was finalized
on October 26, 2015 (80 FR 65470).
On December 23, 2015, Kohler
Company (Kohler) petitioned the EPA
for reconsideration of the final rule for
Clay Ceramics Manufacturing (Docket
Item No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0290–
0316). In this action, we are proposing
revisions to the Clay Ceramics
Manufacturing NESHAP based on
information provided by Kohler in their
petition, information collected by the
EPA subsequent to the reconsideration
request, and information collected by
the EPA subsequent to our
reconsideration request response. The
intent of these proposed amendments is
to provide some flexibility to the clay
ceramics manufacturing industry, while

maintaining the emissions and
operational standards of the NESHAP.
III. Summary of the Proposed
Amendments
The EPA is proposing the following
amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
KKKKK, in response to Kohler’s petition
for reconsideration on the October 26,
2016, final rule (80 FR 65470):
• Revise the temperature monitoring
methodology used to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the D/F
emissions limits from sanitaryware firstfire tunnel kilns.
• Provide an alternative to the
monitoring provisions for VE from
tunnel kiln exhaust stacks.
• Amend the requirements for weekly
visual inspections of system ductwork
and control device equipment for water
curtain spray booths.
• Define cooling stacks in the rule
and differentiate cooling stacks from
kiln exhaust stacks for compliance
purposes.
• Include provisions to allow
emissions averaging for emissions from
existing tunnel kilns and glaze spray
booths and make associated revisions to
the definition of affected source and
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements.
The rationale for these proposed
amendments is provided in section IV of
this preamble. This action is limited to
the specific issues raised in the petition
for reconsideration, plus some minor
technical corrections. There are no
changes to emission limits in the

IV. Rationale for the Proposed
Amendments
A. Temperature Monitoring of Tunnel
Kilns
The December 18, 2014, action
proposed to require continuous
monitoring of kiln temperature as a
performance parameter for
demonstrating compliance with the D/F
emission limitations. In their public
comments, Kohler indicated that the
proposed temperature limitation failed
to account for the normal temperature
variations that occur during operation of
a kiln. The October 26, 2015, final rule
changed the performance parameter
from a minimum kiln temperature
operating limit to a maximum stack
temperature operating limit. In our
response to Kohler’s December 23, 2015,
petition for reconsideration, we
indicated that we would grant
reconsideration of the temperature
monitoring requirement (Docket Item
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0290–0319).
Subsequently, the EPA reviewed new
data provided by Kohler regarding
annual kiln operating temperatures (see
Docket Item No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–
0290–0340). The data indicate that there
is variability in kiln operating
temperatures based on kiln load and
other factors. During production of
sanitaryware products, the tunnel kiln
operating temperature is used as the
primary operating parameter to
maximize quality assurance of the
product (minimal defects), while
minimizing fuel usage. In addition,
there are periods, based on the number
of products being run through the kiln
(kiln load), and the variation of types of
products included in each load, where
the temperature set point must be
adjusted to control the ‘‘heat work’’
through the kiln. Heat work is defined
as the temperature and time factors that
allow the sanitaryware body and glaze
coatings to sinter, melt, flow, and fuse.
The adsorption rate of the fired product
(porosity) is determined by the heat
work (see Docket Item No. EPA–HQ–
OAR–2013–0290–0342).
Based on this information gathered
during our discussions with Kohler, we
are proposing to amend the compliance
demonstration requirements for
sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns
where no air pollution control devices
are installed. In this scenario, we
propose to require the affected sources
to monitor kiln temperature during an
initial D/F compliance test, consisting of
three 4-hour test runs, for a total of 12
hours. From this 12-hour block of time,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:07 Aug 17, 2018
Jkt 244001
consisting of 1-hour increments, the
affected sources would calculate two
values: (1) The standard deviation of the
12 1-hour temperature measurements,
and (2) 1 percent of the 12-hour block
average. The affected sources would
determine which of the two values
would provide the greatest variability
(i.e., the highest value) and would then
add this value to the 12-hour block
average measured during the
compliance test. This value would
become the maximum temperature at
which the kiln would be allowed to
operate during normal operations. We
are setting a maximum operating limit
because, due to variability, kiln
operating temperatures at sanitaryware
facilities sometimes fall below the value
observed during the compliance test.
Temperatures have also been found to
fall in the duct.
Under this scenario, the affected
sources would be required to monitor
12-hour averages of their kiln during
normal operations and demonstrate
compliance by comparing these 12-hour
averages to the value calculated during
the D/F compliance test. This should
allow variability of the hourly
temperature fluctuations as a 12-hour
block average and, additionally, provide
variability by having multiple options
for calculating the kiln variability into
the operating limit.
In this proposed amendment to the
rule, owners or operators would be
required to maintain records of
performance tests and continuous
compliance data as is required in the
October 2015 final rule and would be
required to comply with the
corresponding reporting requirements of
the October 2015 final rule.
Accordingly, in this action, the EPA is
proposing to amend Table 2 to 40 CFR
part 63, subpart KKKKK, to include the
revised operating limit, amend Table 4
to specify the requirements for
establishing the operating limit during
the D/F compliance test, and amend
Tables 6 and 7 to specify the associated
initial and continuous compliance
requirements, respectively. These
amendments to the rule only apply to
sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns. The
D/F compliance requirements of all
other emission sources regulated by the
rule remain unchanged.
We are also requesting comment on
whether to consider an alternative
temperature monitoring requirement.
Similar to the previous scenario, the
affected sources would monitor kiln
temperature during the initial D/F
compliance test, calculate both the
standard deviation of the 12 1-hour
temperature measurements and 1
percent of the 12-hour block average,
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
42069
and decide which of the two values
would provide the greatest variability
(i.e., the highest value). However, this
second scenario has the affected sources
subtract this value from the 12-hour
block average measured during the
compliance test to determine the
minimum temperature at which the kiln
would be allowed to operate during
normal operations. Similar to the
previous scenario, this alternative
would require the affected sources to
monitor 12-hour averages of their kiln
during normal operations and
demonstrate compliance by comparing
these 12-hour averages to the value
calculated during the D/F compliance
test.
The proposed amendments do not
change the requirement for affected
facilities operating sanitaryware firstfire tunnel kilns to demonstrate
compliance with the D/F emission limit
through repeat 5-year stack testing. The
proposed amendments to the rule
provide affected facilities without air
pollution control devices with a revised
means to demonstrate continuous
compliance at all times, including those
times where facilities must adjust kiln
temperatures to control the heat work
through the kiln. If an affected facility
determines through continuous kiln
temperature monitoring that they cannot
demonstrate compliance using the
method proposed, they would be
required to maintain kiln temperatures
that demonstrate compliance until such
time that additional stack testing could
be performed and a new temperature
threshold determined.
B. Visible Emissions Monitoring of
Tunnel Kiln Exhaust
In its petition for reconsideration,
Kohler explained the basis for its
position that VE monitoring is not a
useful parameter to assess kiln
operations. In addition, Kohler
explained that process errors that would
potentially lead to an increase in VE
from a kiln would more readily be
identified through one of multiple
parameters monitored continuously by
the kiln operator. In our response to this
request, we indicated that, although we
were denying the reconsideration
request on this issue, we would evaluate
any additional information provided by
Kohler and determine whether any
further action would be warranted (see
Docket Item No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–
0290–0319).
In a subsequent meeting, the EPA and
Kohler discussed alternatives to the VE
testing requirement in the final rule.
The information provided by Kohler
(see Docket Item No. EPA–HQ–OAR–
2013–0290–0339) supports the

conclusion that monitoring kiln
temperature is a more accurate and
sensitive parameter in determining
times when the PM emissions may be
increased, rather than periodically
monitoring VE from the kiln stack. As
a result, the EPA is proposing to include
an alternative that would require the
source to first take the necessary steps
to maintain the temperature profile of
each tunnel kiln. For any incidence
where a kiln exceeds its normal
operating temperature profile, the
source would then be required to
perform VE observations at the stack of
the affected kiln according to the
procedures of EPA Method 22.
Accordingly, in this action, the EPA is
proposing to amend 40 CFR 63.8620(e)
to include revised procedures for
demonstrating continuous compliance
to include the requirement for facilities
to maintain normal kiln temperature,
and only perform VE observations when
the kiln temperatures are sporadic or
out of the normal range of operation.
Additionally, the EPA is proposing to
amend Tables 2 and 7 to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart KKKKK, to specify the operating
limits and continuous compliance
requirements, respectively.

C. Weekly Visual Inspections of Water
Curtain Spray Booths
Regarding the issue of visual
inspections for system ductwork and
control device equipment for water
curtain spray booths, Kohler and the
EPA have discussed the weekly
inspection requirement. Kohler
representatives explained that current
maintenance procedures eliminate the
need for the weekly inspections.
Kohler’s operators routinely conduct
preventative maintenance on the water
curtain control, such as regular periodic
fan maintenance, as well as a weekly
wash-out. They also explained how
their current procedures ensure that
they become aware in a relatively short
period of time if there is an issue with
the water curtain or the ductwork, as
they can see if particulates or other
impurities are getting into the glaze that
has been sprayed onto a piece of ware.
If this were to occur, the operator would
stop the glazing operations to fix the
issue. Kohler provided the EPA
additional information about the
quarterly preventative maintenance that
they conduct, available in Docket Item
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0290–0331.
Kohler also indicated that ductwork
inspections do not have any value, since
the water is the control, and, therefore,
any air in the ductwork is already
controlled (see Docket Item No. EPA–
HQ–OAR–2013–0290–0336).

During several visits to the Kohler
facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina
(see Docket Item Nos. EPA–HQ–OAR–
2013–0290–0005, 0331, and 0341), the
EPA observed the configuration of a
typical spray booth, and the ductwork
associated with the booth. From the
observations, it was apparent that the
booth operator would indeed be able to
see if particulates or other impurities
were getting into the glaze that has been
sprayed onto a piece of ware, and that
the requirement for weekly inspections
would not be required based on the
configuration of the booth.
Based on its evaluation of the
additional data, and after observing the
water curtain spray booth operations at
the Kohler facility in Spartanburg,
South Carolina, the EPA is proposing to
remove the weekly visual inspection
requirement from the rule but retain the
other two monitoring requirements
(daily inspections to verify the presence
of water flow to the wet control system
and annual inspections of the interior of
the control equipment). Accordingly, in
this action, the EPA is proposing to
amend Table 2 to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart KKKKK, to remove the weekly
visual inspections part of the operating
limit for glaze spray operations
equipped with a water curtain and
amend Table 7 to remove the associated
continuous compliance requirement.
D. Cooling Stacks
In its response to Kohler’s petition
that cooling stacks to be tested at
sanitaryware manufacturing facilities
should be limited to those with an
oxygen content at or below 20.4 percent,
the EPA noted that the value of 20.5
percent that the EPA finalized was
based on the 20.5 percent threshold
concentration provided by Kohler in an
email to the EPA clarifying its testing
proposal, and this email was present in
the docket at proposal (see Docket Item
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0290–0119).
At the time, the EPA concluded that a
reconsideration on this issue was not
warranted pursuant to CAA section
307(d)(7)(B) and denied the
reconsideration petition on this issue.
Notwithstanding this denial, the EPA
stated that it would evaluate any
additional information provided by the
petitioner and determine whether any
further action is warranted (see Docket
Item No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0290–
0319).
In a subsequent meeting, Kohler and
the EPA discussed Kohler’s request to
revise this aspect of the rule and options
for any such revision, which included
changing the oxygen content in the Clay
Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP from
20.5 percent to 20.4 percent or adding
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
a definition for ‘‘cooling stack’’ that
would exclude it from applicability (see
Docket Item No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–
0290–0331). As a result of this and later
contacts (see Docket Item Nos. EPA–
HQ–OAR–2013–0290–0335 through
0338), the EPA has a better
understanding of the purpose and
operations of the cooling stacks. Based
on this additional knowledge, the EPA
is proposing to revise 40 CFR 63.8595(c)
to specifically exclude cooling stacks
from stack testing at sanitaryware
manufacturing facilities, revise 40 CFR
63.8665 to include a definition for
‘‘cooling stack’’ and, for additional
clarity, include a definition for
‘‘products of combustion (POC) stack,’’
which is the type of stack that would be
tested.
E. Emissions Averaging
In its petition for reconsideration,
Kohler requested that the EPA allow the
use of emissions averaging as a
compliance option in the Clay Ceramics
Manufacturing NESHAP for existing
tunnel kilns and glaze spray booths.
Initially, in the December 18, 2014,
proposed rule (79 FR 75649), the EPA
had requested public comment on the
use of emissions averaging in the BSCP
Manufacturing NESHAP. In that 2014
proposal, we also noted that emissions
averaging would not be applicable to
new sources and could only be used
between existing tunnel kilns in the
same size subcategory (79 FR 75649). In
this action, we are proposing
amendments to 40 CFR 63.8595 in the
Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP
that would include alternative
emissions averaging limits for the
following:
• PM and Hg, in units of pounds per
ton (lb/ton) of fired product for existing
floor tile roller kilns;
• PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of
fired product for existing wall tile roller
kilns;
• PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of
greenware fired for existing first-fired
sanitaryware tunnel kilns;
• PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of
first-fired glaze sprayed (dry weight
basis) for existing tile glaze lines with
glaze spraying; and
• PM, in units of lb/ton of first-fire
glaze sprayed (dry weight basis), for
existing sanitaryware manual, spray
machine, or robot glaze applications.
As stated in the December 18, 2014,
proposed rule, the EPA has concluded
that it is permissible under the
appropriate circumstances to establish
within a NESHAP a unified compliance
regimen that permits averaging within
an affected source across individual
affected units subject to the standard
E:\FR\FM\20AUP1.SGM
20AUP1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 161 / Monday, August 20, 2018 / Proposed Rules
under certain conditions (79 FR 75650).
In addition, averaging across affected
units is permitted only if it can be
demonstrated that the total quantity of
any hazardous air pollutant (HAP) will
not be greater under the averaging
mechanism than it could be if each
individual affected unit complied
separately with the applicable standard.
The conditions required for emissions
averaging include: (1) No averaging
between different types of pollutants; (2)
no averaging between sources that are
not part of the same affected source; (3)
no averaging between individual
sources within a single major source if
the individual sources are not subject to
the same NESHAP; and (4) no averaging
between existing sources and new
sources.
In this action, we are proposing that
emissions averaging would be allowed if
they meet the following requirements.
First, emissions averaging would only
be permitted between individual
sources at a single existing affected
source and would only be permitted
between individual sources subject to
the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing
NESHAP. Further, emissions averaging
would not be permitted between two or
more different affected sources or
between two or more sources in
different subcategories. Finally, new
sources could not use emissions
averaging. In addition, we are proposing
that any emissions averaging alternative
would require each facility that intends
to use emissions averaging to submit an
emissions averaging plan, which will
provide additional assurance that the
necessary criteria will be followed. In
such an emissions averaging plan, the
facility would include the identification
of: (1) All units in the averaging group,
(2) the control technology installed, (3)
the process parameter that will be
monitored, (4) the specific control
technology or pollution prevention
measure to be used, (5) the test plan for
the measurement of the HAP being
averaged, and (6) the operating
parameters to be monitored for each
control device.
Under the proposed emissions
averaging provision, the emissions for
each unit in the averaging group would
be capped at the emission level being
achieved on the effective date of the
final rule. The caps ensure that
emissions do not increase above the
emission levels that sources currently
are designed, operated, and maintained
to achieve. In the absence of
performance tests, in documenting these
caps, the affected sources would
document the type, design, and
operating specification of control
devices installed on the effective date of
the final rule to ensure that existing
controls are not removed or operated
less efficiently. The proposed emissions
averaging provision would not apply to
individual units if the unit shares a
common stack with units in other
subcategories, because, in that
circumstance, it is not possible to
distinguish the emissions from each
individual unit.
For those cases where the emissions
averaging provisions are used, the EPA
is proposing to add a definition for
‘‘emissions averaging sources’’ in 40
CFR 63.8665 that includes those
existing sources included in the
emissions average. The EPA is also
proposing to amend Table 1 to 40 CFR
part 63, subpart KKKKK, to include the
applicable emission limits determined
under the emissions averaging
provisions. In addition, the EPA is
proposing to revise the reporting and
42071
recordkeeping provisions in 40 CFR
63.8630, 63.8635, and 63.8640 to
include the following requirements
where the emissions averaging
provisions are used: (1) Certifying in the
notification of compliance status that
the emissions level achieved or the
control technology employed is no less
stringent than the level or control
technology contained in the
notification; (2) reporting in the
compliance report the emissions level
that was being achieved or the control
technology employed on the effective
date of the rule; and (3) keeping a copy
of the emissions averaging
implementation plan, all required
calculations, including monthly records
of process rate, as applicable, and
monitoring records.
The emissions averaging provisions
that we are proposing are based in part
on the emissions averaging provisions
in the Hazardous Organic NESHAP
(HON). The legal basis and rationale for
the HON emissions averaging provisions
were provided in the preamble to the
final HON (59 FR 19425, April 22,
1994).
F. Technical Corrections
Technical corrections are being
proposed to correct inaccuracies that
were promulgated in the final rule,
replace text that might be considered
confusing, and correct outdated
information. We are soliciting comment
only on whether the proposed changes
provide the intended accuracy, clarity,
and consistency. These proposed
changes are described in Table 2 of this
preamble and shown in the proposed

This action will have no cost,
environmental, energy, or economic
impacts beyond those impacts presented
in the October 26, 2015, final rule for

This action does not have federalism
implications. It will not have substantial
direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the

This action does not have tribal
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13175. It will neither impose
substantial direct compliance costs on
federally recognized tribal governments,
nor preempt tribal law. The proposed

regulatory actions that concern
environmental health or safety risks that
the EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per
the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
In this document, a Fourth
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (4th
FNPRM) invites members of the public
to comment on how best to transition
existing spectrum holdings in the 39
GHz band to the new flexible-use band
plan, and on using an incentive auction
mechanism. The Federal
Communications Commission
(Commission or FCC) proposes to
modify the 39 GHz, Upper 37 GHz, and
47 GHz band plans from 200 megahertz
to 100 megahertz channels to facilitate
the auctioning of all three bands at the
same time. The Commission also
proposes an incentive auction to reduce
encumbrances and create contiguous
blocks of spectrum through the 39 GHz
and Upper 37 GHz bands. These
proposals will promote the efficient use
of this spectrum by incumbents and
new licensees.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Clay
Ceramics Manufacturing
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes amendments to the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics
Manufacturing. The proposed amendments are in response to a petition
for reconsideration filed by industry stakeholders on the final rule
promulgated on October 26, 2015, as well as our review of the 2015 rule
with respect to other issues raised by stakeholders. This action
proposes to revise the temperature monitoring methodology used to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the dioxin/furan (D/F) emissions
limit of the final rule. In addition, we are proposing to address
concerns raised by industry stakeholders regarding visible emissions
(VE) monitoring of tunnel kiln stacks for continuous compliance with
particulate matter (PM) and mercury (Hg) emission limitations. This
action also proposes to amend the requirements for weekly visual
inspections of system ductwork and control device equipment for water
curtain spray booths. Lastly, this action proposes to amend the NESHAP
to include provisions for emissions averaging and make technical
corrections.

A. Does this action apply to me?
Table 1 of this preamble lists the NESHAP and associated regulated
industrial source categories that are the subject of this proposal.
Table 1 is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide
for readers regarding the entities that this proposed action is likely
to affect. The proposed amendments, once promulgated, will be directly
applicable to the affected sources. Federal, state, local, and tribal
government entities would not be affected by this proposed action. As
defined in the Initial List of Categories of Sources Under Section
112(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (see 57 FR 31576,
July 16, 1992) and Documentation for Developing the Initial Source
Category List (see EPA-450/3-91-030), the Clay Products Manufacturing
source category, as originally listed, included any facility engaged in
manufacturing of clay products such as brick, vitrified clay pipe,
structural clay tile, and clay refractories. The Clay Products
Manufacturing source category has since been replaced by the Brick and
Structural Clay Products (BSCP) Manufacturing source category and the
Clay Ceramics Manufacturing source category (see 67 FR 47894, July 22,
2002).

A redline version of the regulatory language that incorporates the
proposed changes in this action is available in the docket for this
action (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290).
II. Background
A. What is the statutory authority for this action?
The statutory authority for this action is provided by sections 112
and 307(d)(7)(B) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended (42 U.S.C. 7412
and 7607(d)(7)(B)).
B. What actions preceded these proposed amendments?
The initial NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing was published in
the Federal Register on May 16, 2003 (68 FR 26690), and codified at 40
CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, pursuant to section 112 of the CAA. These
standards were challenged and subsequently vacated by the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2007. See
Sierra Club v. EPA, 479 F.3d 875, 876 (D.C. Cir. 2007). Following the
2007 vacatur of the 2003 rule, the EPA collected additional data and
information to support new standards for the clay ceramics industry.
This information is contained in the docket at https://www.regulations.gov (see Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290). On
December 18, 2014, the EPA proposed new NESHAP for Clay Ceramics
Manufacturing (79 FR 75622). The EPA received additional data and
comments during the public comment period. These data and comments were
considered and analyzed and, where appropriate, revisions to the NESHAP
were made. The NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing was finalized on
October 26, 2015 (80 FR 65470).
On December 23, 2015, Kohler Company (Kohler) petitioned the EPA
for reconsideration of the final rule for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing
(Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0316). In this action, we are
proposing revisions to the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP based on
information provided by Kohler in their petition, information collected
by the EPA subsequent to the reconsideration request, and information
collected by the EPA subsequent to our reconsideration request
response. The intent of these proposed amendments is to provide some
flexibility to the clay ceramics manufacturing industry, while
maintaining the emissions and operational standards of the NESHAP.
III. Summary of the Proposed Amendments
The EPA is proposing the following amendments to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart KKKKK, in response to Kohler's petition for reconsideration on
the October 26, 2016, final rule (80 FR 65470):
Revise the temperature monitoring methodology used to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the D/F emissions limits from
sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns.
Provide an alternative to the monitoring provisions for VE
from tunnel kiln exhaust stacks.
Amend the requirements for weekly visual inspections of
system ductwork and control device equipment for water curtain spray
booths.
Define cooling stacks in the rule and differentiate
cooling stacks from kiln exhaust stacks for compliance purposes.
Include provisions to allow emissions averaging for
emissions from existing tunnel kilns and glaze spray booths and make
associated revisions to the definition of affected source and
recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
The rationale for these proposed amendments is provided in section
IV of this preamble. This action is limited to the specific issues
raised in the petition for reconsideration, plus some minor technical
corrections. There are no changes to emission limits in the
[[Page 42069]]
October 2015 final rule as a result of these proposed amendments.
IV. Rationale for the Proposed Amendments
A. Temperature Monitoring of Tunnel Kilns
The December 18, 2014, action proposed to require continuous
monitoring of kiln temperature as a performance parameter for
demonstrating compliance with the D/F emission limitations. In their
public comments, Kohler indicated that the proposed temperature
limitation failed to account for the normal temperature variations that
occur during operation of a kiln. The October 26, 2015, final rule
changed the performance parameter from a minimum kiln temperature
operating limit to a maximum stack temperature operating limit. In our
response to Kohler's December 23, 2015, petition for reconsideration,
we indicated that we would grant reconsideration of the temperature
monitoring requirement (Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0319).
Subsequently, the EPA reviewed new data provided by Kohler
regarding annual kiln operating temperatures (see Docket Item No. EPA-
HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0340). The data indicate that there is variability in
kiln operating temperatures based on kiln load and other factors.
During production of sanitaryware products, the tunnel kiln operating
temperature is used as the primary operating parameter to maximize
quality assurance of the product (minimal defects), while minimizing
fuel usage. In addition, there are periods, based on the number of
products being run through the kiln (kiln load), and the variation of
types of products included in each load, where the temperature set
point must be adjusted to control the ``heat work'' through the kiln.
Heat work is defined as the temperature and time factors that allow the
sanitaryware body and glaze coatings to sinter, melt, flow, and fuse.
The adsorption rate of the fired product (porosity) is determined by
the heat work (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0342).
Based on this information gathered during our discussions with
Kohler, we are proposing to amend the compliance demonstration
requirements for sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns where no air
pollution control devices are installed. In this scenario, we propose
to require the affected sources to monitor kiln temperature during an
initial D/F compliance test, consisting of three 4-hour test runs, for
a total of 12 hours. From this 12-hour block of time, consisting of 1-
hour increments, the affected sources would calculate two values: (1)
The standard deviation of the 12 1-hour temperature measurements, and
(2) 1 percent of the 12-hour block average. The affected sources would
determine which of the two values would provide the greatest
variability (i.e., the highest value) and would then add this value to
the 12-hour block average measured during the compliance test. This
value would become the maximum temperature at which the kiln would be
allowed to operate during normal operations. We are setting a maximum
operating limit because, due to variability, kiln operating
temperatures at sanitaryware facilities sometimes fall below the value
observed during the compliance test. Temperatures have also been found
to fall in the duct.
Under this scenario, the affected sources would be required to
monitor 12-hour averages of their kiln during normal operations and
demonstrate compliance by comparing these 12-hour averages to the value
calculated during the D/F compliance test. This should allow
variability of the hourly temperature fluctuations as a 12-hour block
average and, additionally, provide variability by having multiple
options for calculating the kiln variability into the operating limit.
In this proposed amendment to the rule, owners or operators would
be required to maintain records of performance tests and continuous
compliance data as is required in the October 2015 final rule and would
be required to comply with the corresponding reporting requirements of
the October 2015 final rule. Accordingly, in this action, the EPA is
proposing to amend Table 2 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to include
the revised operating limit, amend Table 4 to specify the requirements
for establishing the operating limit during the D/F compliance test,
and amend Tables 6 and 7 to specify the associated initial and
continuous compliance requirements, respectively. These amendments to
the rule only apply to sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns. The D/F
compliance requirements of all other emission sources regulated by the
rule remain unchanged.
We are also requesting comment on whether to consider an
alternative temperature monitoring requirement. Similar to the previous
scenario, the affected sources would monitor kiln temperature during
the initial D/F compliance test, calculate both the standard deviation
of the 12 1-hour temperature measurements and 1 percent of the 12-hour
block average, and decide which of the two values would provide the
greatest variability (i.e., the highest value). However, this second
scenario has the affected sources subtract this value from the 12-hour
block average measured during the compliance test to determine the
minimum temperature at which the kiln would be allowed to operate
during normal operations. Similar to the previous scenario, this
alternative would require the affected sources to monitor 12-hour
averages of their kiln during normal operations and demonstrate
compliance by comparing these 12-hour averages to the value calculated
during the D/F compliance test.
The proposed amendments do not change the requirement for affected
facilities operating sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns to
demonstrate compliance with the D/F emission limit through repeat 5-
year stack testing. The proposed amendments to the rule provide
affected facilities without air pollution control devices with a
revised means to demonstrate continuous compliance at all times,
including those times where facilities must adjust kiln temperatures to
control the heat work through the kiln. If an affected facility
determines through continuous kiln temperature monitoring that they
cannot demonstrate compliance using the method proposed, they would be
required to maintain kiln temperatures that demonstrate compliance
until such time that additional stack testing could be performed and a
new temperature threshold determined.
B. Visible Emissions Monitoring of Tunnel Kiln Exhaust
In its petition for reconsideration, Kohler explained the basis for
its position that VE monitoring is not a useful parameter to assess
kiln operations. In addition, Kohler explained that process errors that
would potentially lead to an increase in VE from a kiln would more
readily be identified through one of multiple parameters monitored
continuously by the kiln operator. In our response to this request, we
indicated that, although we were denying the reconsideration request on
this issue, we would evaluate any additional information provided by
Kohler and determine whether any further action would be warranted (see
Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0319).
In a subsequent meeting, the EPA and Kohler discussed alternatives
to the VE testing requirement in the final rule. The information
provided by Kohler (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0339)
supports the
[[Page 42070]]
conclusion that monitoring kiln temperature is a more accurate and
sensitive parameter in determining times when the PM emissions may be
increased, rather than periodically monitoring VE from the kiln stack.
As a result, the EPA is proposing to include an alternative that would
require the source to first take the necessary steps to maintain the
temperature profile of each tunnel kiln. For any incidence where a kiln
exceeds its normal operating temperature profile, the source would then
be required to perform VE observations at the stack of the affected
kiln according to the procedures of EPA Method 22. Accordingly, in this
action, the EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR 63.8620(e) to include
revised procedures for demonstrating continuous compliance to include
the requirement for facilities to maintain normal kiln temperature, and
only perform VE observations when the kiln temperatures are sporadic or
out of the normal range of operation. Additionally, the EPA is
proposing to amend Tables 2 and 7 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to
specify the operating limits and continuous compliance requirements,
respectively.
C. Weekly Visual Inspections of Water Curtain Spray Booths
Regarding the issue of visual inspections for system ductwork and
control device equipment for water curtain spray booths, Kohler and the
EPA have discussed the weekly inspection requirement. Kohler
representatives explained that current maintenance procedures eliminate
the need for the weekly inspections. Kohler's operators routinely
conduct preventative maintenance on the water curtain control, such as
regular periodic fan maintenance, as well as a weekly wash-out. They
also explained how their current procedures ensure that they become
aware in a relatively short period of time if there is an issue with
the water curtain or the ductwork, as they can see if particulates or
other impurities are getting into the glaze that has been sprayed onto
a piece of ware. If this were to occur, the operator would stop the
glazing operations to fix the issue. Kohler provided the EPA additional
information about the quarterly preventative maintenance that they
conduct, available in Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0331. Kohler
also indicated that ductwork inspections do not have any value, since
the water is the control, and, therefore, any air in the ductwork is
already controlled (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0336).
During several visits to the Kohler facility in Spartanburg, South
Carolina (see Docket Item Nos. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0005, 0331, and
0341), the EPA observed the configuration of a typical spray booth, and
the ductwork associated with the booth. From the observations, it was
apparent that the booth operator would indeed be able to see if
particulates or other impurities were getting into the glaze that has
been sprayed onto a piece of ware, and that the requirement for weekly
inspections would not be required based on the configuration of the
booth.
Based on its evaluation of the additional data, and after observing
the water curtain spray booth operations at the Kohler facility in
Spartanburg, South Carolina, the EPA is proposing to remove the weekly
visual inspection requirement from the rule but retain the other two
monitoring requirements (daily inspections to verify the presence of
water flow to the wet control system and annual inspections of the
interior of the control equipment). Accordingly, in this action, the
EPA is proposing to amend Table 2 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to
remove the weekly visual inspections part of the operating limit for
glaze spray operations equipped with a water curtain and amend Table 7
to remove the associated continuous compliance requirement.
D. Cooling Stacks
In its response to Kohler's petition that cooling stacks to be
tested at sanitaryware manufacturing facilities should be limited to
those with an oxygen content at or below 20.4 percent, the EPA noted
that the value of 20.5 percent that the EPA finalized was based on the
20.5 percent threshold concentration provided by Kohler in an email to
the EPA clarifying its testing proposal, and this email was present in
the docket at proposal (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0119).
At the time, the EPA concluded that a reconsideration on this issue was
not warranted pursuant to CAA section 307(d)(7)(B) and denied the
reconsideration petition on this issue. Notwithstanding this denial,
the EPA stated that it would evaluate any additional information
provided by the petitioner and determine whether any further action is
warranted (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0319).
In a subsequent meeting, Kohler and the EPA discussed Kohler's
request to revise this aspect of the rule and options for any such
revision, which included changing the oxygen content in the Clay
Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP from 20.5 percent to 20.4 percent or
adding a definition for ``cooling stack'' that would exclude it from
applicability (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0331). As a
result of this and later contacts (see Docket Item Nos. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2013-0290-0335 through 0338), the EPA has a better understanding of the
purpose and operations of the cooling stacks. Based on this additional
knowledge, the EPA is proposing to revise 40 CFR 63.8595(c) to
specifically exclude cooling stacks from stack testing at sanitaryware
manufacturing facilities, revise 40 CFR 63.8665 to include a definition
for ``cooling stack'' and, for additional clarity, include a definition
for ``products of combustion (POC) stack,'' which is the type of stack
that would be tested.
E. Emissions Averaging
In its petition for reconsideration, Kohler requested that the EPA
allow the use of emissions averaging as a compliance option in the Clay
Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP for existing tunnel kilns and glaze spray
booths. Initially, in the December 18, 2014, proposed rule (79 FR
75649), the EPA had requested public comment on the use of emissions
averaging in the BSCP Manufacturing NESHAP. In that 2014 proposal, we
also noted that emissions averaging would not be applicable to new
sources and could only be used between existing tunnel kilns in the
same size subcategory (79 FR 75649). In this action, we are proposing
amendments to 40 CFR 63.8595 in the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP
that would include alternative emissions averaging limits for the
following:
PM and Hg, in units of pounds per ton (lb/ton) of fired
product for existing floor tile roller kilns;
PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of fired product for
existing wall tile roller kilns;
PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of greenware fired for
existing first-fired sanitaryware tunnel kilns;
PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of first-fired glaze sprayed
(dry weight basis) for existing tile glaze lines with glaze spraying;
and
PM, in units of lb/ton of first-fire glaze sprayed (dry
weight basis), for existing sanitaryware manual, spray machine, or
robot glaze applications.
As stated in the December 18, 2014, proposed rule, the EPA has
concluded that it is permissible under the appropriate circumstances to
establish within a NESHAP a unified compliance regimen that permits
averaging within an affected source across individual affected units
subject to the standard
[[Page 42071]]
under certain conditions (79 FR 75650). In addition, averaging across
affected units is permitted only if it can be demonstrated that the
total quantity of any hazardous air pollutant (HAP) will not be greater
under the averaging mechanism than it could be if each individual
affected unit complied separately with the applicable standard. The
conditions required for emissions averaging include: (1) No averaging
between different types of pollutants; (2) no averaging between sources
that are not part of the same affected source; (3) no averaging between
individual sources within a single major source if the individual
sources are not subject to the same NESHAP; and (4) no averaging
between existing sources and new sources.
In this action, we are proposing that emissions averaging would be
allowed if they meet the following requirements. First, emissions
averaging would only be permitted between individual sources at a
single existing affected source and would only be permitted between
individual sources subject to the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP.
Further, emissions averaging would not be permitted between two or more
different affected sources or between two or more sources in different
subcategories. Finally, new sources could not use emissions averaging.
In addition, we are proposing that any emissions averaging alternative
would require each facility that intends to use emissions averaging to
submit an emissions averaging plan, which will provide additional
assurance that the necessary criteria will be followed. In such an
emissions averaging plan, the facility would include the identification
of: (1) All units in the averaging group, (2) the control technology
installed, (3) the process parameter that will be monitored, (4) the
specific control technology or pollution prevention measure to be used,
(5) the test plan for the measurement of the HAP being averaged, and
(6) the operating parameters to be monitored for each control device.
Under the proposed emissions averaging provision, the emissions for
each unit in the averaging group would be capped at the emission level
being achieved on the effective date of the final rule. The caps ensure
that emissions do not increase above the emission levels that sources
currently are designed, operated, and maintained to achieve. In the
absence of performance tests, in documenting these caps, the affected
sources would document the type, design, and operating specification of
control devices installed on the effective date of the final rule to
ensure that existing controls are not removed or operated less
efficiently. The proposed emissions averaging provision would not apply
to individual units if the unit shares a common stack with units in
other subcategories, because, in that circumstance, it is not possible
to distinguish the emissions from each individual unit.
For those cases where the emissions averaging provisions are used,
the EPA is proposing to add a definition for ``emissions averaging
sources'' in 40 CFR 63.8665 that includes those existing sources
included in the emissions average. The EPA is also proposing to amend
Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to include the applicable
emission limits determined under the emissions averaging provisions. In
addition, the EPA is proposing to revise the reporting and
recordkeeping provisions in 40 CFR 63.8630, 63.8635, and 63.8640 to
include the following requirements where the emissions averaging
provisions are used: (1) Certifying in the notification of compliance
status that the emissions level achieved or the control technology
employed is no less stringent than the level or control technology
contained in the notification; (2) reporting in the compliance report
the emissions level that was being achieved or the control technology
employed on the effective date of the rule; and (3) keeping a copy of
the emissions averaging implementation plan, all required calculations,
including monthly records of process rate, as applicable, and
monitoring records.
The emissions averaging provisions that we are proposing are based
in part on the emissions averaging provisions in the Hazardous Organic
NESHAP (HON). The legal basis and rationale for the HON emissions
averaging provisions were provided in the preamble to the final HON (59
FR 19425, April 22, 1994).
F. Technical Corrections
Technical corrections are being proposed to correct inaccuracies
that were promulgated in the final rule, replace text that might be
considered confusing, and correct outdated information. We are
soliciting comment only on whether the proposed changes provide the
intended accuracy, clarity, and consistency. These proposed changes are
described in Table 2 of this preamble and shown in the proposed
regulatory text below. We request comment on all of these proposed

V. Summary of Cost, Environmental, and Economic Impacts
This action will have no cost, environmental, energy, or economic
impacts beyond those impacts presented in the October 26, 2015, final
rule for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing and may result in a cost savings
due to the changes in monitoring and testing requirements discussed in
the previous section. The technical corrections are cost neutral.

therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.
B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs
This action is considered an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory
action. The proposed rule is expected to provide meaningful burden
reduction by deregulating aspects of the sanitaryware manufacturing
process, but do not result in changes in costs to comply.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). OMB has previously
approved the information collection activities contained in the
existing regulation (40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK) and has assigned
OMB control number 2060-0513. This action does not change the
information collection requirements.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden, or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This proposed rule will not impose any
additional requirements on small entities, only alternatives to
existing requirements. We have, therefore, concluded that this action
will have no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated small
entities.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local, or tribal governments or the private sector.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. It will neither impose substantial direct
compliance costs on federally recognized tribal governments, nor
preempt tribal law. The proposed amendments impose no requirements on
tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental
health risk or safety risk.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.
K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority
populations, low-income populations, and/or indigenous peoples, as
specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). The
documentation for this decision is contained in the docket (See ``EJ
Screening Report for Clay Ceramics,'' Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-
0290-0241).
