I. Background
A. Summary
In a Federal Register document dated
March 11, 2019, the EPA provided
public notice and solicited comment on
the request under the CAA by Shell
Martinez to operate an MPGF at a
refinery in Martinez, California (see 84
FR 8715). In that document, the EPA
solicited comment on all aspects of the
AMEL request, including the operating
conditions specified in that document
that are necessary to achieve a reduction
in emissions of volatile organic
compounds and organic hazardous air
pollutants at least equivalent to the
reduction in emissions required by the
maximum achievable control
technology (MACT) requirements for
Petroleum Refineries at 40 CFR
63.670(d) that apply to emission sources
that would be controlled by this MPGF.
Shell Martinez requested the AMEL for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:10 May 23, 2019
Jkt 247001
its MPGF that controls emissions from
its delayed coking unit (DCU). Shell
Martinez submitted an AMEL request to
operate a flare with tip exit velocities
greater than those allowed in 40 CFR
63.670(d) while achieving ≥ 96.5percent combustion efficiency and 98percent destruction efficiency.
This action provides a summary of
our approval of this AMEL request.
B. Regulatory Flare Requirements
Shell Martinez provided the
information specified in the flare AMEL
framework set forth in the Petroleum
Refinery MACT at 40 CFR 63.670(r) to
support its AMEL request. Shell
Martinez is seeking an AMEL to operate
its MPGF during upset emergency
conditions. This DCU is subject to the
Petroleum Refinery MACT, 40 CFR part
63, subpart CC; accordingly, the request
followed the AMEL framework specified
in 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC, at 40 CFR
63.670(r).
II. Summary of Public Comments on the
AMEL Request
The Agency received one nonsubstantive comment that appears to
support the initial notice. No adverse
comment was received on the request.
III. AMEL for the MPGF
The EPA is approving the AMEL
request by Shell Martinez to operate an
MPGF with tip exit velocities greater
than those allowed in 40 CFR 63.670(d)
while achieving ≥96.5-percent
combustion efficiency and 98-percent
destruction efficiency. We are also
establishing in this notice the operating
conditions for this MPGF as part of this
approval. These operating conditions,
which are the same as those set forth in
the March 11, 2019, document, will
ensure that this flare will achieve
emission reductions at least equivalent
to those achieved by flares complying
with the relevant requirements in the
Petroleum Refinery MACT. The
operating conditions are as follows:
(1) The MPGF must be operated
according to the requirements of the
Petroleum Refinery MACT, including 40
CFR 63.670 and 63.671, except that all
references to a combustion zone heating
value of 270 British thermal units per
standard cubic feet (BTU/scf) are
replaced with a value of 800 BTU/scf
and the flare tip velocity requirements
of 40 CFR 63.670(d) do not apply.
(2) Each stage that cross-lights must
have at least two pilots with a
continuously lit pilot flame.
(3) The operator of the DCU MPGF
system shall install and operate pressure
monitor(s) on the main flare header, as
well as a valve position indicator
PO 00000
Frm 00063

monitoring system capable of
monitoring and recording the position
for each staging valve to ensure that the
flare operates at normal maximum
operating pressure of 15 pounds per
square inch gauge as described in the
AMEL application. The pressure
monitor shall meet the requirements in
Table 13 of 40 CFR 63, subpart CC.
(a) The owner or operator of the Shell
Martinez DCU MPGF shall meet the
reporting requirements in the Petroleum
Refinery MACT in 40 CFR
63.655(g)(11)(i)–(iii). In addition, the
Shell Martinez MPGF notification shall
also include records specified in
sections (i)–(ii) below.
(i) Records of when the pressure
monitor(s) on the main flare header
show the flare burners are operating
outside the range of tested conditions or
outside the range of the manufacturer’s
specifications. Indicate the date and
time for each period, the pressure
measurement, the stage(s) and number
of flare burners affected, and the range
of tested conditions or manufacturer’s
specifications.
(ii) Records of when the staging valve
position indicator monitoring system
indicates that a stage of the flare should
not be in operation and is, or that a stage
of the flare should be in operation and
is not. Indicate the date and time for
each such period, whether the stage was
supposed to be open but was closed, or
vice versa, and the stage(s) and number
of flare burners affected.

Trifluralin Case 0179 .......................
EPA–HQ–OPP–2012–0417 ...........
The registration review docket for a
pesticide includes earlier documents
related to the registration review case.
For example, the review opened with a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public
comment. A Final Work Plan was
placed in the docket following public
comment on the Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets
describe EPA’s rationales for conducting
additional risk assessments for the
registration review of the pesticides
included in the table in Unit IV, as well
as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings
and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed
interim registration review decisions are
supported by the rationales included in
those documents. Following public
comment, the Agency will issue interim
or final registration review decisions for
the pesticides listed in the table in Unit
IV.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
proposed interim registration review
decisions. This comment period is
intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for
initiating any necessary amendments to
the proposed interim decision. All
comments should be submitted using
the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing
date. These comments will become part
of the docket for the pesticides included
in the Table in Unit IV. Comments
received after the close of the comment
period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may provide a ‘‘Response to
Comments Memorandum’’ in the
docket. The interim registration review
decision will explain the effect that any
comments had on the interim decision
and provide the Agency’s response to
significant comments.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review case. For example, the
review opened with a Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final
Work Plan was placed in the docket following public comment on the
Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets describe EPA's rationales for
conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of
the pesticides included in the table in Unit IV, as well as the
Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed interim registration review
decisions are supported by the rationales included in those documents.
Following public comment, the Agency will issue interim or final
registration review decisions for the pesticides listed in the table in
Unit IV.
The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed interim
registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to
provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating
any necessary amendments to the proposed interim decision. All comments
should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will
become part of the docket for the pesticides included in the Table in
Unit IV. Comments received after the close of the comment period will
be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and may provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in
the docket. The interim registration review decision will explain the
effect that any comments had on the interim decision and provide the
Agency's response to significant comments.
