Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request; RadNet (Renewal), 20880-20881 [2019-09833]

Download as PDF jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES 20880 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 92 / Monday, May 13, 2019 / Notices A gasoline dispensing facility, or GDF, is any stationary source, such as a gas station, that dispenses gasoline into the fuel tank of a motor vehicle, motor vehicle engine, nonroad vehicle or nonroad engine. Types of GDFs that potentially may use this general permit include, but are not limited to, facilities that dispense gasoline into on- and offroad, street, or highway motor vehicles, lawn equipment, boats, test engines, landscaping equipment, generators, pumps, and other gasoline-fueled engines and equipment. New or modified GDF sources with the potential to emit regulated NSR pollutants over thresholds specified in the Federal Indian Country Minor NSR program regulations at 40 CFR 49.153, and located within the geographic boundaries of California and on an Indian reservation or in another area of Indian country over which an Indian tribe or the EPA has demonstrated that the tribe has jurisdiction, are currently subject to permitting requirements under this EPA minor NSR program. The general permit that is the subject of this notice is intended to provide a streamlined permitting option for owners and operators of qualifying GDFs to use to meet the requirements of this EPA minor NSR program. However, owners and operators of such GDFs may choose to apply to the EPA for a traditional source-specific permit to meet the preconstruction requirements of this permitting program in lieu of requesting coverage under the general permit. The primary pollutant of concern for GDFs that may use this general permit is volatile organic compounds (VOC), which are emitted from storage tanks and gasoline dispensing units at GDFs. Some GDFs may also have emergency engines, which emit VOC, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter (PM), PM less than or equal to 10 mm in diameter (PM10), and PM less than or equal to 2.5 mm in diameter (PM2.5). Except for VOC emissions, emissions of all other regulated NSR pollutants from new or modified GDF sources that may use the general permit are expected to be below the minor NSR permitting thresholds in 40 CFR 49.153. This general permit regulates VOC emissions from GDFs and includes emission limitations that require each GDF to control emissions from storage tanks during unloading of the gasoline cargo from the tanker truck, using what are known as Stage I controls. In addition, the general permit requires GDFs in ozone nonattainment areas classified as serious, severe, or extreme to limit VOC emissions caused from vehicle refueling by using pump-based VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:29 May 10, 2019 Jkt 247001 controls known as Stage II controls. There are also limits on the amount of gasoline each GDF can dispense in a 12month period: 25,000,000 million gallons in ozone attainment/ unclassifiable areas, marginal ozone nonattainment areas, and moderate ozone nonattainment areas; and 15,000,000 gallons in serious, severe, and extreme ozone nonattainment areas. The emission limitations in the general permit are expected to generally limit emissions of VOC from a new or modified GDF to less than 30 tons per year (tpy) in attainment areas and marginal or moderate ozone nonattainment areas and 9 tpy in serious, severe, and extreme ozone nonattainment areas. The detailed emission limitations are included in the general permit and discussed in detail in our Technical Support Document. These and other key documents related to this general permit are available online here: https://www.epa.gov/caapermitting/california-tribal-gasolinepermits. Public Comments The public comment period started on September 30, 2016 and ended on January 31, 2017. A public hearing was held on November 30, 2016 at the EPA Region IX offices in San Francisco, California. The EPA considered all comments received during the public comment period in making its final permit decision. The submitted comments and the EPA’s responses are available as part of the administrative record for this action. Administrative Record The final general permit and all other supporting information are available through www.regulations.gov under Docket ID No. EPA–R09–OAR–2016– 0580.The administrative record for this action may also be viewed in person, Monday through Friday (excluding Federal holidays) from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., at the EPA Region IX address above. Due to building security procedures, please call Lisa Beckham at (415) 972–3811 at least 24 hours in advance to arrange a visit. Lisa Beckham can also be reached through EPA Region IX’s toll-free general information line at (866) 372–9378. Permit Appeal In accordance with 40 CFR 49.159, within 30 days after a final permit decision has been issued, any person who filed comments on the draft permit or participated in the public hearing may petition the EAB to review any condition of the permit decision. Any person who failed to file comments or PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 to participate in the public hearing may petition for administrative review only to the extent that the changes from the draft to the final permit or other new grounds were not reasonably ascertainable during the public comment period. The 30-day period within which a person may request review under this section begins with service of notice of the final permit decision. A petition to the EAB is a prerequisite to seeking judicial review of the final agency action under Section 307(b) of the CAA. For purposes of judicial review, final agency action occurs when we deny or issue a final permit and agency review procedures are exhausted. Following an appeal to the EAB, the EPA will issue a final permit decision as specified in 40 CFR 49.159(d)(8).
