(SSM), including clarifying regulatory
provisions for certain vent control
bypasses, provisions for electronic
reporting of performance test results,
performance evaluation reports,
compliance reports, and Notification of
Compliance Status (NOCS) reports; and
provisions to conduct periodic
performance testing of oxidizers used to
reduce emissions of organic hazardous
air pollutants (HAP).

II. Background
A. What is the statutory authority for
this action?
Section 112 of the CAA establishes a
two-stage regulatory process to address
emissions of HAP from stationary
sources. In the first stage, we must
identify categories of sources emitting
one or more of the HAP listed in CAA
section 112(b) and then promulgate
technology-based NESHAP for those
sources. ‘‘Major sources’’ are those that
emit, or have the potential to emit, any
single HAP at a rate of 10 tons per year
(tpy) or more, or 25 tpy or more of any
combination of HAP. For major sources,
these standards are commonly referred
to as maximum achievable control
technology (MACT) standards and must
reflect the maximum degree of emission
reductions of HAP achievable (after
considering cost, energy requirements,
and non-air quality health and
environmental impacts). In developing
MACT standards, CAA section 112(d)(2)
directs the EPA to consider the
application of measures, processes,
methods, systems, or techniques,
including but not limited to those that
reduce the volume of or eliminate HAP
emissions through process changes,
substitution of materials, or other
modifications; enclose systems or
E:\FR\FM\14AUR2.SGM

processes to eliminate emissions;
collect, capture, or treat HAP when
released from a process, stack, storage,
or fugitive emissions point; are design,
equipment, work practice, or
operational standards; or any
combination of the above.
For these MACT standards, the statute
specifies certain minimum stringency
requirements, which are referred to as
MACT floor requirements, and which
may not be based on cost
considerations. See CAA section
112(d)(3). For new sources, the MACT
floor cannot be less stringent than the
emission control achieved in practice by
the best-controlled similar source. The
MACT standards for existing sources
can be less stringent than floors for new
sources, but they cannot be less
stringent than the average emission
limitation achieved by the bestperforming 12 percent of existing
sources in the category or subcategory
(or the best-performing five sources for
categories or subcategories with fewer
than 30 sources). In developing MACT
standards, we must also consider
control options that are more stringent
than the floor under CAA section
112(d)(2). We may establish standards
more stringent than the floor, based on
the consideration of the cost of
achieving the emissions reductions, any
non-air quality health and
environmental impacts, and energy
requirements.
In the second stage of the regulatory
process, the CAA requires the EPA to
undertake two different analyses, which
we refer to as the technology review and
the residual risk review. Under the
technology review, we must review the
technology-based standards and revise
them ‘‘as necessary (taking into account
developments in practices, processes,
and control technologies),’’ no less
frequently than every 8 years, pursuant
to CAA section 112(d)(6).1 Under the
residual risk review, we must evaluate
the risk to public health remaining after
application of the technology-based
standards and revise the standards, if
necessary, to provide an ample margin
of safety to protect public health or to
prevent, taking into consideration costs,
energy, safety, and other relevant
factors, an adverse environmental effect.
The residual risk review is required
within 8 years after promulgation of the

the final rule for signature, a decision was issued
in LEAN v. EPA, 955 F. 3d. 1088 (D.C. Cir. 2020)
in which the Court held that the EPA has an
obligation to set standards for unregulated
pollutants as part of technology reviews under CAA
section 112(d)(6). At the time of signature, the
mandate in that case had not been issued and the
EPA is continuing to evaluate the decision.

technology-based standards, pursuant to
CAA section 112(f). In conducting the
residual risk review, if the EPA
determines that the current standards
provide an ample margin of safety to
protect public health, it is not necessary
to revise the MACT standards pursuant
to CAA section 112(f).2 For more
information on the statutory authority
for this rule, see the proposal preamble
(84 FR 46610, September 4, 2019) and
the memorandum, CAA Section 112
Risk and Technology Reviews: Statutory
Authority and Methodology, December
14, 2017, available in the docket for this
rulemaking.
B. What is the MCM source category and
how does the NESHAP regulate HAP
emissions from the source category?
The EPA promulgated the MCM
NESHAP on December 11, 2003 (68 FR
69185). The standards are codified at 40
CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH. The
MCM industry consists of facilities that
are engaged in their manufacture
without regard to the particular end
uses or consumers of such products.
The manufacturing of these products
may occur in any combination at any
facility. The source category covered by
this MACT standard currently includes
43 facilities.
The MCM source category includes
the collection of equipment (i.e., process
vessels; storage tanks; components such
as pumps, valves, and connections;
wastewater tanks; heat exchangers; and
transfer racks) that is used to
manufacture coatings at a facility. MCM
operations may also include certain
cleaning operations. Coatings
manufactured at MCM facilities are
materials such as paints, inks, or
adhesives that are intended to be
applied to a substrate to form a
protective, decorative, or functional
layer (e.g., an adhesive) and consist of
a mixture of resins, pigments, solvents,
and/or other additives. Coatings are
produced by a manufacturing operation
in which materials are blended, mixed,
diluted, or otherwise formulated.
Coatings do not include materials made
in processes where a formulation
component is synthesized by a chemical
reaction or separation activity and then
transferred to another vessel where it is
formulated to produce a material used
as a coating, where the synthesized or
separated component is not stored prior
to formulation.
2 The Court has affirmed this approach of
implementing CAA section 112(f)(2)(A): NRDC v.
EPA, 529 F.3d 1077, 1083 (D.C. Cir. 2008) (‘‘If EPA
determines that the existing technology-based
standards provide an ‘ample margin of safety,’ then
the Agency is free to readopt those standards during
the residual risk rulemaking.’’).

The equipment controlled by the
MCM NESHAP includes process
vessels, storage tanks for feedstocks and
products, equipment leak components
(pumps, compressors, agitators, pressure
relief devices (PRDs), sampling
connection systems, open-ended valves
or lines, valves, connectors, and
instrumentation systems), wastewater
tanks, heat exchangers, and transfer
racks.
The current NESHAP regulates
process vessels and storage tanks based
on the volume of the process vessel or
storage tank and the maximum true
vapor pressure of the organic HAP
processed or stored. Control
requirements range from the use of
tightly fitted lids on process vessels to
also capturing and reducing organic
HAP emissions through the use of addon controls (i.e., a flare, oxidizer, or
condenser). For halogenated vent
streams from process vessels and storage
tanks, the use of a flare is prohibited,
and a halogen reduction device (i.e., an
acid gas scrubber) is required after a
combustion control device. For storage
tanks, facilities may comply with the
provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, by complying with the
provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart
WW.
The NESHAP regulates emissions
from equipment leaks at existing
sources by requiring compliance with
leak inspection and repair provisions
using sight, sound, and smell in 40 CFR
part 63, subpart R, or alternatively, the
leak detection and repair (LDAR)
provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart
TT or UU. New sources are required to
comply with the LDAR provisions in 40
CFR part 63, subpart TT or UU.
The NESHAP regulates wastewater
streams by requiring the use of fixed
roofs on wastewater tanks, treating the
wastewater (either on-site or off-site) as
a hazardous waste under 40 CFR part
264, 265, or 266, or using enhanced
biological treatment if the wastewater
contains less than 50 parts per million
by weight (ppmw) of partially soluble
HAP. If the wastewater is treated as a
hazardous waste under 40 CFR part 264,
265, or 266, it may be treated by steam
stripping or incineration. These
standards apply only to wastewater
streams that contain total partially
soluble and soluble HAP at an annual
average concentration greater than or
equal to 4,000 ppmw and loads greater
than or equal to 750 pounds per year
(lb/yr) at an existing source. For new
sources, these standards apply only to
wastewater streams that contain total
partially soluble and soluble HAP at an
annual average concentration greater

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
than or equal to 1,600 ppmw and any
partially soluble and soluble HAP load.
The NESHAP regulates transfer
operations if the operation involves the
bulk loading of coating products that
contain 3.0 million gallons per year or
more of HAP with a weighted average
HAP partial pressure greater than or
equal to 1.5 pounds per square inch,
absolute. Regulated transfer operations
are required to reduce emissions by
using a closed vent system and a control
device (other than a flare) to reduce
emissions by at least 75 percent; using
a closed vent system and a flare for a
non-halogenated vent stream; or using a
vapor balancing system. When a nonflare combustion device is used to
control a halogenated vent stream, then
a halogen reduction device must be
used either before or after the
combustion device. If used after the
combustion device, the halogen
reduction device must meet either a
minimum 95-percent reduction or a
maximum 0.45 kilograms per hour (kg/
hr) emission rate of hydrogen halide or
halogen. If used before the combustion
device, the halogen reduction device
must meet a maximum 0.45 kg/hr
emission rate of hydrogen halide or
halogen.
The NESHAP requires heat
exchangers to meet the provisions of 40
CFR part 63, subpart F, 40 CFR 63.104.
Section 63.104 requires the
implementation of a LDAR or
monitoring program for heat exchange
systems, unless the system meets certain
design and operation provisions, or it is
a once-through system that meets
certain National Pollution Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) permit
provisions.
C. What changes did we propose for the
MCM source category in our September
4, 2019, proposal?
On September 4, 2019, the EPA
published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register for the MCM NESHAP,
40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, that
took into consideration the RTR
analyses. We proposed to find that after
compliance with the current NESHAP
(i.e., MACT standards) the risks to
public health from the source category
are acceptable, and that additional
emission controls are not necessary to
provide an ample margin of safety.
Based on our technology review, we did
not identify any cost-effective
developments in practices, processes, or
control technologies for the source
category. Accordingly, we proposed no
changes to the existing emission control
requirements in 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, based on the risk assessment
or the technology review.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:49 Aug 13, 2020
Jkt 250001
We proposed the following
amendments to improve rule
effectiveness, provide regulatory
flexibility, and comply with a legal
ruling:
• A new requirement for electronic
submittal of notifications, semi-annual
reports, and compliance reports (which
include performance test reports);
• revisions to the SSM provisions of
the NESHAP to ensure that they are
consistent with the Court decision in
Sierra Club v. EPA, 551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C.
Cir. 2008), which vacated two
provisions that exempted source owners
or operators from the requirement to
comply with otherwise applicable CAA
section 112(d) emission standards
during periods of SSM;
• revisions to account for instances
where 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH,
cross-references other subparts that
contain SSM provisions;
• language to add 40 CFR 63.8005(h)
to clarify that any periods during which
a control device for a process vessel is
bypassed must be included in
demonstrating compliance with the
emission reduction provisions for
process vessels in Table 1 to 40 CFR
part 63, subpart HHHHH;
• revisions to 40 CFR 63.8000(b)(2),
which allows the opening of a safety
device at any time conditions require it
to avoid unsafe conditions, to clarify
that such an opening to avoid unsafe
conditions is considered a deviation,
unless it is a bypass of a control for a
process vessel and accounted for as
specified in 40 CFR 63.8005(h);
• removal of references to paragraph
(d)(4) of the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard
Communication standard (29 CFR
1910.1200), which dealt with OSHAdefined carcinogens, and replacing that
reference with a list of HAP that must
be regarded as potentially carcinogenic
based on EPA guidelines;
• a new requirement to fulfill
performance testing and reestablish
operating limits no less frequently than
every 5 years for sources that are using
add-on controls to demonstrate
compliance, unless they are already
required to perform periodic testing as
a condition of renewing their title V
operating permit; and
• to IBR alternative test methods and
references to updated alternative test
methods.
III. What is included in this final rule?
This action finalizes the EPA’s
determinations pursuant to the RTR
provisions of CAA section 112 for the
MCM source category. This action also
finalizes the changes to the NESHAP

described in section II.C of this
preamble, as proposed.
A. What are the final rule amendments
based on the risk review for the MCM
source category?
This section describes the final
decisions for the MCM NESHAP (40
CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) being
promulgated pursuant to CAA section
112(f). The EPA proposed no changes to
this subpart based on the risk review
conducted pursuant to CAA section
112(f). In this action, we are finalizing
our proposed determination that risks
from this source category are acceptable,
and that the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, provides an ample
margin of safety to protect public health,
and that more stringent standards are
not necessary to prevent an adverse
environmental effect. The EPA received
no new data or other information during
the public comment period that causes
us to change that proposed
determination. Therefore, we are not
requiring additional emission controls
under CAA section 112(f)(2) for this
subpart in this action.
B. What are the final rule amendments
based on the technology review for the
MCM source category?
We determined that there are no
developments in practices, processes,
and control technologies that warrant
revisions to the MACT standards for this
source category. The EPA received no
new data or other information during
the public comment period that causes
us to change that proposed
determination. Therefore, we are not
finalizing revisions to the MACT
standards under CAA section 112(d)(6).
C. What are the final rule amendments
addressing emissions during periods of
SSM?
We are finalizing the proposed
amendments to the MCM NESHAP to
remove and revise provisions related to
SSM. In its 2008 decision in Sierra Club
v. EPA 551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008),
the Court vacated portions of two
provisions in the EPA’s CAA section
112 regulations governing the emissions
of HAP during periods of SSM.
Specifically, the Court vacated the SSM
exemption contained in 40 CFR
63.6(f)(1) and (h)(1), holding that under
section 302(k) of the CAA, emissions
standards or limitations must be
continuous in nature and that the SSM
exemption violates the CAA’s
requirement that some CAA section 112
standards apply continuously.
Previously, the 2003 MCM NESHAP
included exemptions for standards
during SSM. As detailed in section IV.D

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 158 / Friday, August 14, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
of the proposal preamble (84 FR 46610,
September 4, 2019), the final rule
removes the SSM exemptions (see 40
CFR 63.8000(a)), consistent with the
Court decision in Sierra Club v. EPA,
551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008).
Table 10 to subpart HHHHH of 40
CFR part 63 (General Provisions
applicability table) is being revised to
change the specification of the
requirements that apply during periods
of SSM. We eliminated or revised
certain recordkeeping and reporting
requirements related to the eliminated
SSM exemptions. The EPA also made
other harmonizing changes to remove or
modify inappropriate, unnecessary, or
redundant language in the absence of
the SSM exemptions. We proposed to
find that facilities in this source
category can meet the applicable
emission standards in the MCM
NESHAP at all times, including periods
of startup and shutdown, without
additional standards or work practices.
The EPA considered the requirements
for control device bypasses and for
safety devices that we are finalizing in
this rule when proposing to find that the
standards can be met at all times after
the SSM provisions are revised. We
received no information to cause us to
change our conclusion; therefore, the
EPA is finalizing the proposed
determination that no additional
standards are needed to address
emissions during startup and shutdown
periods. The legal rationale and detailed
changes for startup and shutdown
periods that we are finalizing here are
set forth in the September 4, 2019,
preamble to the proposed rule. See 84
FR 46629 through 46630.
Further, as proposed, the EPA is not
including standards for malfunctions,
except as related to the proposed
revisions related to control device
bypasses and for safety devices. As
discussed in section IV.D of the
September 4, 2019, proposal preamble,
the EPA interprets CAA section 112 as
not requiring emissions that occur
during periods of malfunction to be
factored into development of CAA
section 112 standards, although the EPA
has the discretion to set standards for
malfunctions where feasible. See 84 FR
46629 through 46630. For this source
category, we proposed at 40 CFR
63.8005(h) to provide a method to
account for control device bypass
periods (including malfunction periods)
when evaluating compliance with the
overall control efficiency requirements
for process vessels in Table 1 to 40 CFR
part 63 subpart HHHHH, and we
solicited commenters to provide
additional information.

We are revising the General
Provisions table to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, to eliminate
requirements that include rule language
providing an exemption for periods of
SSM. Finally, we are revising as
proposed the Deviation Notification
Report and related records as they relate
to malfunctions, as further described
below. As discussed in detail in the
proposal preamble, these revisions are
consistent with the requirement in 40
CFR 63.8000(a) that the standards apply
at all times. Refer to section IV.D.1 of
the proposal preamble for a detailed
discussion of these amendments (84 FR
46629, September 4, 2019).
We are finalizing amendments to
account for instances where 40 CFR part
63, subpart HHHHH, cross-references
other subparts that contain SSM
provisions. Listed in 40 CFR 63.8000(f)
are the referenced provisions in
subparts SS, TT, and UU of 40 CFR part
63 that contain references to SSM
periods that will no longer apply after
the compliance date for these
amendments. Listed in 40 CFR
63.8000(f)(10) through (22) are the
paragraphs or phrases within the
paragraphs that will not apply after the
applicable compliance date for the
amendments as a result of the final SSM
revisions.
Because we are finalizing the
revisions to remove the SSM provisions
and require compliance at all times, we
are also finalizing the amendment to
add 40 CFR 63.8005(h) to account for
bypass periods in determining
compliance with the emission percent
reduction provisions in Table 1 to 40
CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, for
process vessels. These amendments will
apply to process vessels with closed
vent systems and add-on controls that
contain bypass lines that could divert a
vent stream to the atmosphere. We are
finalizing the revisions that owners or
operators must measure and record
during each semiannual compliance
period the hours that the control device
was bypassed and the source’s total
operating hours. They must use the
overall control efficiency required in
Table 1, the total operating hours, and
the control efficiency of the control
device to determine the allowable
bypass hours during the semiannual
compliance period using Equation 1 in
40 CFR 63.8005(h). These changes are
required because SSM periods that may
involve bypassing of the control device
cannot be excluded and must now be
included in determining compliance.
Because we are finalizing the
revisions to remove the SSM provisions
and require compliance at all times, we
are also finalizing the revisions to 40
PO 00000

Sfmt 4700
CFR 63.8000(b)(2) so that opening of a
safety device to avoid unsafe conditions
is considered a deviation, unless it is a
bypass of a control for a process vessel
and accounted for as specified in 40
CFR 63.8005(h). We are also finalizing
the proposed revisions to revise 40 CFR
63.8080(c), which is the provision
requiring a record of each time a safety
device is opened, to add additional
recordkeeping provisions consistent
with those for other deviations. In the
event a safety device is opened, the
owners or operators will be required to
comply with the general duty provision
in 40 CFR 63.8000(a) to minimize
emissions at all times, and to report and
record information related to deviations
as specified in 40 CFR 63.8075 and
63.8080, respectively, unless it is a
bypass of a control for a process vessel
and accounted for as specified in 40
CFR 63.8005(h).
D. What other changes have been made
to the NESHAP?
The EPA is amending 40 CFR
63.8055(b)(4), as proposed, to remove a
reference to paragraph (d)(4) of the
OSHA’s Hazard Communication
standard addressing OSHA-defined
carcinogens. We are replacing the
reference to carcinogens in 29 CFR
1910.1200(d)(4) with a new table, Table
11 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH,
that lists those organic HAP that must
be included in calculating total organic
HAP content of a coating material if
they are present at 0.1 percent or greater
by mass. We are including organic HAP
in Table 11 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, if they were categorized in the
EPA’s Prioritized Chronic DoseResponse Values for Screening Risk
Assessments (dated May 9, 2014) as a
‘‘human carcinogen,’’ ‘‘probable human
carcinogen,’’ or ‘‘possible human
carcinogen’’ according to The Risk
Assessment Guidelines of 1986 (EPA/
600/8–87/045, August 1987), or as
‘‘carcinogenic to humans,’’ ‘‘likely to be
carcinogenic to humans,’’ or with
‘‘suggestive evidence of carcinogenic
potential’’ according to the Guidelines
for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (EPA/
630/P–03/001F, March 2005).
The EPA is making several additional
revisions to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, to clarify text or correct
typographical errors, grammatical
errors, and cross-reference errors. These
editorial corrections and clarifications
are summarized in Table 2 of this
preamble.

We are including in the final rule a
requirement for facilities to conduct
control device performance testing no
less frequently than once every 5 years
when using emission capture systems
and add-on controls to demonstrate
compliance. For facilities with title V
permits that require comparable
periodic testing prior to permit renewal,
no additional testing is required, and we
included provisions in the rule to allow
facilities to harmonize the NESHAP
testing schedule with a facility’s current
title V testing schedule.
E. What are the requirements for
electronic submission of notifications,
reports, and performance test data to
the EPA?
The EPA is requiring owners or
operators of MCM facilities to submit
electronic copies of certain required
notifications, semiannual reports,
performance test reports, and
performance evaluation reports, through
the EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX)
using the Compliance and Emissions
Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). The
final rule requires that certain
performance test results be submitted
using the Electronic Reporting Tool. For
the semiannual compliance reports, the
final rule requires that owners or
operators use the appropriate
spreadsheet template to submit
information to CEDRI. The final version
of the template for this report is located
on the CEDRI website.
The electronic submittal of the reports
addressed in this rulemaking will

contained in those reports, is in keeping
with current trends in data availability
and transparency, will further assist in
the protection of public health and the
environment, will improve compliance
by facilitating the ability of regulated
facilities to demonstrate compliance
with requirements and by facilitating
the ability of delegated state, local,
tribal, and territorial air agencies and
the EPA to assess and determine
compliance, and will ultimately reduce
burden on regulated facilities, delegated
air agencies, and the EPA. Electronic
reporting also eliminates paper-based,
manual processes, thereby saving time
and resources, simplifying data entry,
eliminating redundancies, minimizing
data reporting errors, and providing data
quickly and accurately to the affected
facilities, air agencies, the EPA, and the
public. For a more thorough discussion
of electronic reporting, see the
memorandum, Electronic Reporting
Requirements for New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) and
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
Rules, available in Docket ID No. EPA–
HQ–OAR–2018–0747.
F. What are the effective and
compliance dates of the standards?
The revisions to the MACT standards
being promulgated in this action are
effective on August 14, 2020.
For all of the provisions we are
finalizing under CAA sections 112(d)(2)
and (3), all affected source owners or
operators must comply with all of the
amendments no later than 3 years after
PO 00000
Frm 00007

the effective date of the final rule, or
upon startup, whichever is later. As
provided in CAA section 112(i), all new
affected sources would comply with
these provisions by the effective date of
the final amendments to the MCM
NESHAP, or upon startup, whichever is
later.
All affected facilities would have to
continue to meet the current provisions
of 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, up
to and no later than the applicable
compliance date of the amended rule.
We are finalizing the amendments to
the provisions for SSM by removing the
exemptions from the emission
limitations (i.e., emission limits,
operating limits, and work practice
standards) during SSM periods and by
removing the provision to develop and
implement an SSM plan. We are also
requiring that owners or operators take
into account control device bypass
periods, even if during SSM periods,
when demonstrating compliance with
the percent emission reduction
provisions for process vessels in Table
1 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.
For all affected sources that
commence construction or
reconstruction on or before September
4, 2019, we are providing 3 years after
the effective date of the final rule (or
upon startup, whichever is later) for
owners or operators to comply with the
provisions that have been amended to
remove the exemption from the
emission limitations during SSM
periods, with the exception of the
vacated SSM exemptions contained in
40 CFR 63.6(f)(1) and (h)(1). We are

revising Table 10 to clarify that for all
affected sources, these exemptions do
not apply following the Court vacatur in
Sierra Club v. EPA, 551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C.
Cir. 2008). For all affected sources that
commenced construction or
reconstruction after September 4, 2019,
we are requiring that owners or
operators comply with the amended
provisions by the effective date of the
final rule (or upon startup, whichever is
later).
We are also adding a provision that
notifications, performance test results,
and semiannual compliance reports be
submitted electronically, and that the
semiannual compliance report be
submitted electronically using a new
template. We are requiring that all
sources begin complying with the new
electronic reporting provisions
beginning no later than 3 years after the
regulation’s effective date.
The EPA selected these compliance
dates based on experience with similar
industries and the EPA’s detailed
justification for the selected compliance
dates is included in the preamble to the
proposed rule (84 FR 46634, September
4, 2019).
IV. What is the rationale for our final
decisions and amendments for the
MCM source category?
For each issue, this section provides
a description of what we proposed and
what we are finalizing for the issue, the
EPA’s rationale for the final decisions
and amendments, and a summary of key
comments and responses. For all
comments not discussed in this
preamble, comment summaries and the
EPA’s responses can be found in the

summaries are the same.

emissions for both actual and allowable

maximum individual risk (MIR) is 6-in1 million, with chromium (VI)
compounds from process vents as the
major contributor to the risk. The total
estimated cancer incidence from this
source category is 0.002 excess cancer
cases per year, or one excess case in
every 500 years. Approximately 3,700
people are estimated to have cancer
risks greater than or equal to 1-in-1

levels greater than 1 due to emissions
from this source category.
The results of the inhalation risk
modeling using whole facility emissions
data, as shown in Table 3 of this
preamble, indicate that the estimated
MIR is 20-in-1 million with emissions of
hydrazine from sources subject to other
standards driving the risk. These
include 40 CFR part 63 subparts FFFF
(Miscellaneous Organic Chemicals
Manufacturing NESHAP), H (Hazardous
Organic NESHAP), and EEEE (Organic
Liquids Distribution), which are not part
of this source category. The total
estimated whole facility cancer
incidence is 0.006 excess cancer cases
per year. Approximately 50,100 people
are estimated to have cancer risks
greater than or equal to 1-in-1 million.
The estimated maximum chronic
noncancer TOSHI is 2 (for the

emissions of hydrogen cyanide from

Approximately 80 people are estimated
to be exposed to noncancer hazard
index (HI) levels greater than 1.
As shown in Table 3 of this preamble,
for source category emissions, the
highest acute HQ based on the
reasonable worst-case scenario is 2,
based on the REL for glycol ethers. This
is the highest HQ that is outside facility
boundaries. One facility is estimated to
have an HQ greater than 1 based on the

benchmark for glycol ethers.

accumulative in the environment (PB–
HAP) emitted by facilities in this source
category. For carcinogenic PB–HAP, one
facility emits arsenic compounds, while
two facilities emit polycyclic organic
matter (POM). None of these emissions
exceed a Tier 1 cancer screening value
for arsenic or POM. For noncarcinogenic
PB–HAP, one facility emits cadmium
compounds and one facility emits
mercury compounds. None of these
emissions exceed a Tier 1 noncancer
screening value for cadmium or
mercury. Further analyses (i.e., Tier 2 or
3 screens) were not performed. For lead
compounds, we did not estimate any
exceedances of the lead National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS).
A screening-level evaluation of the
potential adverse environmental risk
associated with emissions of the PB–
HAP listed above, plus acid gases
(hydrogen chloride is the only reported
acid gas), indicated that no ecological
benchmarks were exceeded. For lead
compounds, we did not estimate any
exceedances of the secondary lead
NAAQS.
We weighed all health risk factors,
including those shown in Table 2 of this
preamble, in our risk acceptability
determination and proposed that the
residual risks from the MCM source
category are acceptable (section IV.B.1
of the proposal preamble, 84 FR 46625,
September 4, 2019).
We then considered whether 40 CFR
part 63, subpart HHHHH, provides an
ample margin of safety to protect public
health and prevents, taking into
consideration costs, energy, safety, and
other relevant factors, an adverse
environmental effect. In considering
whether the standards should be
tightened to provide an ample margin of
safety to protect public health, we
considered the same risk factors that we
considered for our acceptability
determination and also considered the
costs, technological feasibility, and
other relevant factors related to
emissions control options that might
reduce risk associated with emissions
from the source category. Related to
risk, the baseline risks were low, and
regardless of the availability of further
control options, little risk reduction
could be realized. As discussed further
in section IV.B of this preamble, the
only developments identified in the
technology review were control options
for inorganic HAP and organic HAP
from process vessels. Because the
baseline risks are being driven by
inorganic HAP from process vessels, we
evaluated a control option for inorganic
HAP emissions from process vessels
located at MCM facilities that would be
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:49 Aug 13, 2020
Jkt 250001
similar to those included in 40 CFR part
63, subpart CCCCCCC, the NESHAP for
Area Sources for Paints and Allied
Products Manufacturing. Additionally,
we evaluated increasing the control
efficiency requirements for organic HAP
emissions from process vessels. The
process vessel options did not result in
a decrease to the MIR or to the
maximum chronic noncancer TOSHI
because the MIR facility already had
controls in place. However, there was a
reduction seen in the population
exposed to a cancer risk of 1-in-1
million from 3,700 to 1,900 due to
emissions reductions at other facilities.
But, as described in section IV.C of the
proposal preamble (84 FR 46626,
September 4, 2019), we determined that
these options were not cost effective.
Therefore, given the low baseline risks
and lack of options for further risk
reductions, we proposed that additional
emission controls for this source
category are not necessary to provide an
ample margin of safety (see section
IV.B.2 of the proposal preamble, 84 FR
46626, September 4, 2019).
2. How did the risk review change for
the MCM Source Category?
We have not changed any aspect of
the risk assessment for the MCM source
category as a result of public comments
received on the September 4, 2019,
proposal.
3. What key comments did we receive
on the risk review, and what are our
responses?
We received comments in support of
and against the proposed residual risk
review and our determination is that no
revisions were warranted under CAA
section 112(f)(2) for the source category.
Generally, the comments that were not
supportive of the determination from
the risk reviews suggested changes to
the underlying risk assessment
methodology. For example, one
commenter stated that the EPA should
lower the acceptability benchmark so
that risks below 100-in-1 million are
unacceptable, include emissions outside
of the source category assessed, and
assume that pollutants with noncancer
health risks have no safe level of
exposure. After review of all the
comments received, we determined that
no changes are needed to the risk
assessment. The comments and our
specific responses can be found in the
document, Summary of Public
Comments and Responses for Risk and
Technology Review for Miscellaneous
Coating Manufacturing, available in the
docket for this rulemaking.

4. What is the rationale for our final
approach and final decisions for the risk
review?
As noted in our proposal, the EPA
sets standards under CAA section
112(f)(2) using ‘‘a two-step standardsetting approach, with an analytical first
step to determine an ‘acceptable risk’
that considers all health information,
including risk estimation uncertainty,
and includes a presumptive limit on the
maximum individual risk (MIR) of
approximately 1-in-10 thousand’’ (see
54 FR 38045, September 14, 1989). We
weigh all health risk factors in our risk
acceptability determination, including
the cancer MIR, cancer incidence, the
maximum cancer TOSHI, the maximum
acute noncancer HQ, the extent of
noncancer risks, the distribution of
cancer and noncancer risks in the
exposed population, and the risk
estimation uncertainties.
Since proposal, neither the risk
assessment nor our determinations
regarding risk acceptability, ample
margin of safety, or adverse
environmental effects have changed. For
the reasons explained in the proposed
rule, we determined that the risks from
the MCM source category are
acceptable, the current standards
provide an ample margin of safety to
protect public health, and more
stringent standards are not necessary to
prevent an adverse environmental
effect. Therefore, we are not revising
this subpart to require additional
controls pursuant to CAA section
112(f)(2) based on the residual risk
review, and we are readopting the
existing standards under CAA section
112(f)(2).
B. Technology Review for the MCM
Source Category
1. What did we propose pursuant to
CAA section 112(d)(6) for the MCM
source category?
Sources of HAP emissions regulated
by the MCM NESHAP are process
vessels, storage tanks, transfer racks,
equipment leaks, wastewater streams,
and heat exchange systems. MCM
processes occur as batch operations,
which involve intermittent or
discontinuous feed of raw materials into
equipment, and generally involve
emptying of the equipment after the
operation ceases and prior to beginning
a new operation.
For process vessels, we evaluated two
options that could be potentially
considered technology developments
under CAA section 112(d)(6). In the first
option, we considered increasing the
control efficiency requirement for
process vessels at existing sources to
E:\FR\FM\14AUR2.SGM
14AUR2
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
49732
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 158 / Friday, August 14, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
match the control requirement for new
sources, which would increase the
control efficiency for organic HAP with
a vapor pressure equal to or greater than
0.6 kilopascals from 75 percent to 95
percent. We consider this option to be
a new development because several
facilities have controlled all process
vessels with thermal oxidizers to
comply with the NESHAP.
We estimated the costs of installing a
thermal oxidizer on the six plants in the
MCM source category that currently do
not have a thermal oxidizer installed on
process vessels. The costs were
estimated using the EPA Air Pollution
Control Cost Manual cost spreadsheet
for thermal oxidizers 3 and the process
vent flow rate from the National
Emissions Inventory (NEI) or the facility
operating permit. The estimated cost
effectiveness for these facilities ranged
from $20,000 per ton HAP removed to
$150,000 per ton HAP removed.
The second option for process vessels
that we considered was to require
controls to limit particulate matter (PM)
HAP emissions when dry materials (e.g.,
pigments) containing inorganic HAP are
added to the process vessel. We
considered provisions that would be
similar to those included in 40 CFR part
63, subpart CCCCCCC, the NESHAP for
Area Sources for Paints and Allied
Products Manufacturing. This option
would reflect the fact that several
facilities subject to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, have process vessels
controlled with fabric filters when dry
materials are being added.
We estimated costs for both a fabric
filter baghouse and a cartridge filter type
of particulate control with a flow rate of
1,000 cubic feet per minute, plus 150
feet of flexible duct to capture the
fugitive PM when dry matter is being
added to the mixing vessel. The
estimated cost effectiveness for this
option ranged from $310,000 to
$2,100,000 per ton of particulate HAP
reduced. We also evaluated whether
pigments could be added in a wetted or
paste form, but not all pigments are
available or can be used in wetted or
paste form.
The EPA did not find the control
technology development options
considered for process vessels in this
technology review to be cost effective
or, in some cases, technologically
feasible. Consequently, the EPA
proposed that it is not necessary to
amend the standards for process vessels
under the technology review.

The MCM NESHAP requires existing
sources to comply with the equipment
leaks provisions in 40 CFR part 63,
subpart R, NESHAP for Gasoline
Distribution Facilities (Bulk Gasoline
Terminals and Pipeline Breakout
Stations); subpart TT, NESHAP for
Equipment Leaks, Control Level 1; or
subpart UU, NESHAP for Equipment
Leaks, Control Level 2. New sources
must comply with the provisions of
subpart UU or TT. Based on
developments in other similar source
categories, we identified as a technology
alternative to the current standard a
more stringent provision for existing
sources that would eliminate sensory
monitoring and require instrument
monitoring with lower leak definitions
than specified in 40 CFR part 63,
subpart TT. For this alternative, we
estimated the incremental emission
reductions and cost effectiveness of
employing instrument monitoring (EPA
Method 21) with an equipment leak
defined as instrument readings of 500
parts per million by volume (ppmv) for
valves, 2,000 ppmv for pumps, and 500
ppmv for connectors. We estimated the
costs of requiring instrument monitoring
with more stringent leak definitions for
four model plants with 25, 50, 100, or
200 process vessels. The estimated cost
effectiveness for these model plants
ranged from $107,000 per ton HAP
removed to $22,000 per ton HAP
removed for the smallest to largest
model plant, and these values are higher
than organic HAP cost-effectiveness
values that we historically have
considered reasonable. The EPA did not
find the leak detection instrument
monitoring option that was evaluated to
be cost effective. Consequently, the EPA
proposed that it was not necessary to
amend the standards for equipment
leaks under the technology review.
The MCM NESHAP regulates
wastewater streams that contain total
partially soluble and soluble HAP at an
annual average concentration greater
than or equal to 4,000 ppmw and load
greater than or equal to 750 lb/yr at
existing sources, or that contain greater
than or equal to 1,600 ppmw and any
partially soluble and soluble HAP load
at new sources. Wastewater tanks used
to store regulated wastewater streams
must have a fixed roof, which may have
openings necessary for proper venting of
the tank, such as a pressure/vacuum
vent or j-pipe vent. Regulated
wastewater streams must be conveyed
using hard piping and treated as a
hazardous waste in accordance with 40
CFR part 264, 265, or 266 either on-site
or off-site. Alternatively, if the
wastewater contains less than 50 ppmw
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
of partially soluble HAP, it may be
treated in an enhanced biological
treatment system that is located either
on-site or off-site.
Because our technology review
identified no developments in practices,
processes, or controls for reducing
wastewater emissions at MCM facilities,
we evaluated developments in other
industries with wastewater streams that
contain organic HAP. We reviewed
three options that were considered in
other industry technology reviews for
their applicability to the MCM
wastewater streams. These options
were:
(1) Requiring wastewater drain and
tank controls at facilities.
(2) Requiring specific performance
parameters (minimum fraction
biodegraded, fbio) for an enhanced
biological unit beyond those required in
the Benzene NESHAP.
(3) Requiring wastewater streams with
a volatile organic compound (VOC)
content of 750 ppmw or higher to be
treated by steam stripping prior to any
other treatment process for facilities
with high organic loading rates (i.e.,
facilities with total annualized benzene
quantity of 10 megagrams per year or
more).
The EPA did not find any of the three
wastewater stream control options
evaluated to be cost effective.
Consequently, the EPA proposed that it
was not necessary to amend the
standards for wastewater streams under
the technology review.
The EPA did not identify in our
technology review any developments in
practices, processes, and control
technologies for storage tanks, transfer
operations (i.e., bulk loading) of coating
products, or heat exchange systems that
were not already considered in the
development of the original MACT.
Further explanation of the
assumptions and methodologies for all
options evaluated are provided in the
memorandum, Clean Air Act Section
112(d)(6) Technology Review for the
Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
Source Category, available in the docket
to this action.
2. How did the technology review
change for the MCM source category?
We are making no changes to the
conclusions of the technology review
and are finalizing the results of the
technology review for the MCM source
category as proposed.
3. What key comments did we receive
on the technology review, and what are
our responses?
Comment: Some of the commenters
supported the EPA’s proposed
E:\FR\FM\14AUR2.SGM
14AUR2
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 158 / Friday, August 14, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
determination that no changes to the
MCM NESHAP were needed based on
the technology review.
However, one commenter argued that
the standard should be strengthened to
reduce HAP emissions. The commenter
argued that the EPA should establish a
standard of zero allowed leaks to
prohibit all uncontrolled releases, or to
establish more stringent standards based
on the latest advancements in LDAR.
The commenter also argued that the
EPA should establish more stringent
standards for HAP metals based on the
use of fabric filters when dry materials
are added to process vessels, as in the
Paints and Allied Products
Manufacturing rule for area sources.
Finally, the commenter argued that the
EPA should establish standards for
storage vessels based on internal
floating roofs (IFR) or the use of closed
vent systems and recovery or
destruction devices. The commenter
argued that CAA section 112(d)(6) does
not allow the EPA to use cost as a factor
in deciding whether more stringent
standards should be adopted.
Response: In this technology review,
we specifically looked for developments
in practices, processes, and controls,
including improvements in previously
considered control technologies, and
concluded there were no cost-effective
developments applicable to this source
category. The comment suggesting
additional or more stringent controls be
imposed has not provided data to
support a revision to the proposed
technology review; for this reason, we
are adopting no changes to the NESHAP
under the technology review.
With respect to the role of cost in our
decisions under the technology review,
we note that courts have not required
the EPA to demonstrate that a
technology is ‘‘cost-prohibitive’’ in
order not to require adopting a new
technology under CAA section
112(d)(6); a simple finding that a control
is not cost effective is enough. See
Association of Battery Recyclers, et al. v.
EPA, et al., 716 F.3d 667, 673–74 (D.C.
Cir. 2015) (approving the EPA’s
consideration of cost as a factor in its 42
U.S.C. 7412(d)(6) decision-making and
the EPA’s reliance on cost effectiveness
as a factor in its standard-setting).
The option to require controls to limit
PM HAP emissions from process vessels
in which dry materials containing
inorganic HAP are added to the process
vessel was considered during the
proposal for this rule. As stated in the
MCM technology review memorandum,
Clean Air Act Section 112(d)(6)

Operations, and Heat Exchange Systems
Located in the Miscellaneous Coating
Manufacturing Source Category (Docket
Item No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2018–0747–
0033), we reviewed the permits for the
12 facilities subject to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, for which the 2014
NEI included emissions of particulate
HAP and found that the permits for all
but one of the facilities confirmed that
some type of particulate control was
already fitted on the process vessels.
These controls included baghouse fabric
filters, cartridge filters, and wet
scrubbers, and we proposed that it was
not cost effective to require any
additional PM controls.
Also, as described in the MCM
technology review memorandum, we
evaluated installing an IFR, external
floating roof, closed vent system to an
emission control device, vapor
balancing, and considered maximum
total vapor pressure thresholds;
however, we did not identify any
control technology development options
for storage tanks to be cost effective.
Finally, in the MCM technology
review memorandum, we concluded
that more stringent leak definitions for
pumps, valves, and connectors using
EPA Method 21 equipment leak
monitoring were not cost effective for
this source category.
4. What is the rationale for our final
approach for the technology review?
For the reasons explained in the
preamble to the proposed rule (84 FR
46626, September 4, 2019) and in the
comment responses above in section
IV.B.3 of this preamble, and the
response to comment document, we are
making no changes and are finalizing
the results of the technology review as
proposed.
C. SSM Provisions
1. What did we propose?
In the September 4, 2019, action, we
proposed amendments to the MCM
NESHAP to remove and revise
provisions related to SSM that are not
consistent with the requirement that the
standards apply at all times. More
information concerning the elimination
of SSM provisions is in the preamble to
the proposed rule (84 FR 46629,
September 4, 2019).
We proposed amendments to account
for instances where 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, cross-references other
subparts that contain SSM provisions.
We proposed 40 CFR 63.8000(f) that
lists the referenced provisions,
including individual paragraphs or
phrases, in subparts SS, TT, and UU of
40 CFR part 63 that contain references
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
49733
to SSM periods that will no longer
apply after the compliance date for the
final amendments as a result of the final
SSM revisions.
Because we proposed to remove the
SSM provisions and require compliance
at all times, we proposed to amend 40
CFR 63.8000(c) to account for bypass
periods in determining compliance with
the emission percent reduction
provisions in Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, for process vessels.
These amendments apply to process
vessels with closed vent systems and
add-on controls that contain bypass
lines that could divert a vent stream to
the atmosphere. We proposed that
owners or operators must measure and
record during each semiannual
compliance period the hours that the
control device was bypassed and the
source’s total operating hours. They
must then use the overall control
efficiency required in Table 1, the total
operating hours, and the control
efficiency of the control device to
determine the allowable bypass hours
during the semiannual compliance
period using proposed Equation 1 in 40
CFR 63.8005(h). These changes are
required because SSM periods that may
involve bypassing of the control device
cannot be excluded and must now be
included in determining compliance.
Because we proposed to remove the
SSM provisions and require compliance
at all times, we proposed to revise 40
CFR 63.8000(b)(2) so that opening of a
safety device to avoid unsafe conditions
is considered a deviation, unless it is a
bypass of a control for a process vessel
and accounted for as specified in 40
CFR 63.8005(h). We also proposed to
revise 40 CFR 63.8080(c), which is the
provision to keep a record of each time
a safety device is opened, to add
additional recordkeeping provisions
consistent with those for other
deviations. As a result of these proposed
changes, the opening of a safety device
would be considered a deviation from
the emission limits for sources using
closed vent systems and add-on control
devices to comply with the emission
limitations in 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, unless it is a bypass of a
control for a process vessel and
accounted for as specified in 40
CFR 63.8005(h). In the event a safety
device is opened, the owners or
operators would be required to comply
with the general duty provision in 40
CFR 63.8000(a) to minimize emissions
at all times and to report and record
information related to deviations as
specified in 40 CFR 63.8075 and
63.8080, respectively, unless it is a
bypass of a control for a process vessel

2. What changed since proposal?
We are finalizing the SSM provisions
as proposed with no changes (84 FR
46629, September 4, 2019).
We are also revising the bypass
provisions to allow the use of bypass
valve or damper position indicators to
determine the time and duration of
possible bypasses as an alternative to
the proposed requirement to use a flow
indicator. In the final rule, we are
providing the following options to
comply with the bypass monitoring
requirements: (1) Use a flow indicator
that provides a continuous reading of
flow and no flow, (2) use valve position
indicator or bypass damper indicator
that provides a continuous reading of
damper position, or (3) secure the
bypass line valve in the non-diverting
position with a car-seal or a lock-andkey type configuration. For flow
indicators, facilities will have to
perform a flow meter verification check
annually. The annual verification check
must be performed for at least two
points, one at the instrument’s zero and
the other at the instrument’s span. For
valve position indicators, facilities must
ensure that any bypass line valve or
damper is in the closed position through
continuous monitoring of valve position
when the control device is in operation.
The monitoring system must be
inspected semiannually to verify that
the monitor will accurately indicate
valve position. For car-seal or lock-andkey type configurations, facilities must
ensure that any seal or closure
mechanism is maintained in the nondiverting position and the vent stream is
not diverted through a bypass line. The
visual inspections on the seal or closure
mechanism must be completed at least
once every month.
We are finalizing the provisions
related to safety device openings in 40
CFR 63.8000(b)(2) and 63.8080(c) as
proposed with no changes (84 FR 46632,
September 4, 2019).
We have corrected an error in the
proposed amendatory language at 40
CFR 63.7995(e) (84 FR 46640). In the
proposal, we indicated that sources that
began construction or reconstruction on
or before the publication of the final
rule in the Federal Register are given 3
years to comply with the provisions
listed in 40 CFR 63.7995(e)(1) through
(5). That was incorrect and the text
should have indicated that those that
began construction or reconstruction on
or before the proposal publication date
of September 4, 2019, have 3 years to
comply with the provisions listed in 40
CFR 63.7995(e)(1) to (5).

3. What key comments did we receive
and what are our responses?
Comment: One commenter requested
specific SSM provisions for PRDs,
flares, and maintenance venting. The
commenter requested that the opening
of a safety device be allowed if it is a
PRD meeting the requirements in 40
CFR part 63, subpart TT (40 CFR
63.1010 or 63.1011) or UU (40 CFR
63.1029 or 63.1030), and suggested
certain work practices are followed that
were specified by the commenter. The
commenter also requested that certain
types of safety devices and PRDs be
exempt from the requirements for safety
devices.
The commenter requested that the
definition of ‘‘process vessel vent’’ be
revised to exclude ‘‘maintenance vents
after the equipment has been washed or
purged in accordance with site
maintenance practices to minimize, to
the extent possible, emissions of HAP.’’
The commenter also suggested as a
second option, if the EPA decides to
regulate HAP emissions from
maintenance activities associated with
process vessel vents, that the EPA
should add work practice standards in
place of emission limitations, consistent
with the language in the Petroleum
Refinery MACT, 40 CFR 63.643(c), and
the proposed changes to the Ethylene
Production MACT, 40 CFR
63.1103(e)(5).
The commenter requested that,
consistent with the Column 3 note on 40
CFR 63.6(h)(2) through (9) in Table 10
to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, the
EPA should clarify the ‘‘Yes’’ language
on 40 CFR 63.6(h)(1) by adding the
italicized language as follows: ‘‘Yes,
before the compliance date specified in
§ 63.7995(e), specifically for flares
subject to Method 22 observations that
are required as part of a compliance
assessment. No, on or after the
compliance date specified in
§ 63.7995(e).’’
Response: We are making none of the
suggested changes because they are not
necessary. There is a low likelihood of
PRDs or flares being used in this source
category because operations are
conducted at ambient conditions (i.e.,
process overpressures are less likely
because operations are conducted at
lower temperature and pressures) and
facilities typically comply with the
standards using thermal oxidizers or
condensers. Additionally, the bypass
provisions apply to all SSM events,
including events associated with
maintenance venting, and no examples
were provided to the EPA to support
adding provisions for maintenance
venting in the MCM source category.

4. What is the rationale for our final
approach for the SSM provisions?
We evaluated all comments on the
EPA’s proposed amendments to the
SSM provisions. For the reasons
explained in the proposed rule, we
determined that these amendments to
the SSM provisions for the MCM
NESHAP remove and revise provisions
related to SSM that are not consistent
with the requirement that the standards
apply at all times. More information
concerning the amendments we are
finalizing for SSM provisions is in the
preamble to the proposed rule (84 FR
46629, September 4, 2019). Therefore,
we are finalizing our approach for the
SSM provisions as proposed.
D. Electronic Reporting Provisions
1. What did we propose?
In the September 4, 2019, document,
we proposed to require owners or
operators of MCM sources to submit
electronic copies of notifications,
reports, and performance tests through
the EPA’s CDX, using the CEDRI. These
include the initial notifications required
in 40 CFR 63.9(b) and 63.8070(b), the
NOCS required in 40 CFR 63.9(h) and
63.8075(d), the performance test report
required in 40 CFR 63.8075(f), the
performance evaluation report required
in 40 CFR 63.8075(g), and the
semiannual reports required in 40 CFR
63.8075(b) and (c). A description of the
electronic submission process is
provided in the memorandum,
Electronic Reporting Requirements for
New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) and National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) Rules, August 8, 2018,
available in the docket for this
rulemaking. The proposed rule
requirements would replace the current
rule requirements to submit the
notifications and reports to the
Administrator at the appropriate
address listed in 40 CFR 63.13. The
proposed rule requirement would not
affect submittals required by state air
agencies. The proposed compliance
schedule language in 40 CFR 63.8075(h)
for submission of initial compliance
reports, NOCS reports, and compliance
reports would have provided 3 years
after the final rule is published to begin
electronic reporting.
2. What changed since proposal?
We are finalizing the electronic
reporting provisions as proposed with
no changes (84 FR 46632, September 4,
2019).
We are revising the proposed
electronic reporting template to
incorporate changes identified in the

CEDRI template and described them in
detail in their comment letter. These
changes to the draft CEDRI template are
described completely in the Summary of

4. What is the rationale for our final
approach for the electronic reporting
provisions?
For the reasons explained in the

comment responses above in section
IV.D.3 of this preamble, and in the
response to comment document, we are

provisions for the MCM NESHAP, as
proposed. We are revising the CEDRI
reporting template as appropriate to
incorporate the corrections and
additions identified in the public
comments.
E. Other Technical Amendments
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
1. What did we propose?
The EPA proposed to amend 40 CFR
63.8055(b)(4) to remove reference to
paragraph (d)(4) of the OSHA’s Hazard
Communication standard, which dealt
with OSHA-defined carcinogens. We
proposed to replace these references to
carcinogens in 29 CFR 1910.1200(d)(4)
with a list (in proposed new Table 11
to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) of
those organic HAP that must be
included in calculating total organic
HAP content of a coating material if
they are present at 0.1 percent or greater
by mass. We also proposed additional

F. Ongoing Emissions Compliance
Demonstrations
1. What did we propose?
We proposed to require owners or
operators of facilities complying with
the standards using a closed vent system
and add-on controls to control
emissions to perform periodic testing to
confirm the performance of the add-on
control device. We proposed to require
owners or operators that are not already
on a 5-year testing schedule to conduct
the first of the periodic performance
tests within 3 years of the effective date
of the revised standards. Afterward, the
owners or operators would conduct
periodic testing before they renew their
operating permits, but no longer than 5
years following the previous
performance test. Additionally, owners
or operators of facilities that have
already tested as a condition of their
permit within the last 2 years before the
effective date would be permitted to
maintain their current 5-year schedule
and not be required to move up the date
of the next test to the 3-year date
specified above.

3. What key comments did we receive
and what are our responses?
Comment: The EPA received
comments that performance testing
should not be required except when the
facility has a change in operations, or
where the change is not considered to
be within the previously established
worst-case conditions as specified in 40
CFR 63.8005(d)(1)(iv). The EPA also
received comments that periodic
performance testing should only be
required for thermal oxidizers and
should not be required for carbon
adsorbers or for condensers, and that the
EPA should not eliminate design
evaluations of small control devices. See
40 CFR 63.8000(d)(2). The commenters
argued that testing small control devices
is often impractical (for example, oncethrough carbon adsorption) and
needless where the performance (such
as for condensers) can be predicted with
a high degree of certainty.
Response: We disagree that
performance tests should only be
required when the facility has a change
in operations. As explained in the
preamble to the proposed rule, periodic
performance tests help identify
potential degradation of the add-on
control device over time and ensure the
control device remains effective,
reducing the potential for acute
emissions episodes or noncompliance.
Also as explained in the preamble to the
proposed rule, many facilities using
add-on controls to demonstrate
compliance with the NESHAP are
currently required to conduct
performance tests every 5 years as a
condition for renewing their title V
operating permit. The requirement to
conduct testing every 5 years also
eliminates uncertainty of determining
whether a change in facility operations
should trigger a new performance test.
Further, removing the design evaluation
for small control devices will not affect
facilities using condensers because they
may still comply by meeting the
condenser outlet temperature
requirements specified in Table 1 to 40
CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH. We do
not expect many facilities to be
controlling with carbon adsorbers, and,
therefore, we are not exempting carbon
adsorbers from these requirements.
The comments and responses on the
proposed performance testing
requirements are detailed in the

for this rulemaking.
4. What is the rationale for our final
approach for the ongoing compliance
demonstrations?
For the reasons explained in the
preamble to the proposed rules (84 FR
46634, September 4, 2019) and in the
comment responses above in section
IV.F.3 of this preamble and the response
to comment document, we are finalizing
the periodic testing provisions for the
MCM NESHAP, as proposed.
V. Summary of Cost, Environmental,
and Economic Impacts and Additional
Analyses Conducted
A. What are the affected sources?
Currently, 43 major sources subject to
the MCM NESHAP are operating in the
United States. The affected source under
the NESHAP is the facility-wide
collection of equipment used to
manufacture coatings and includes all
process vessels; storage tanks for
feedstocks and products; components
such as pumps, compressors, agitators,
pressure relief devices, sampling
connection systems, open-ended valves
or lines, valves, connectors, and
instrumentation systems; wastewater
tanks; transfer racks; and cleaning
operations. A coating is defined as
material such as paint, ink, or adhesive
that is intended to be applied to a
substrate and consists of a mixture of
resins, pigments, solvents, and/or other
additives, where the material is
produced by a manufacturing operation
where materials are blended, mixed,
diluted, or otherwise formulated.
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
B. What are the air quality impacts?
At the current level of control,
estimated emissions of volatile organic
HAP from the MCM source category are
approximately 405 tpy.
The final amendments require that all
43 major sources in the MCM source
category comply with the relevant
emission standards at all times,
including periods of SSM. We were
unable to quantify the emissions that
occur during periods of SSM or the
specific emissions reductions that will
occur as a result of this action. However,
eliminating the SSM exemption has the
potential to reduce emissions by
requiring facilities to meet the
applicable standard during SSM
periods.
Indirect or secondary air emissions
impacts are impacts that will result from
the increased electricity usage

Jkt 250001
associated with the operation of control
devices (e.g., increased secondary
emissions of criteria pollutants from
power plants). Energy impacts consist of
the electricity and steam needed to
operate control devices and other
equipment. The amendments will have
no effect on the energy needs of the
affected facilities and will, therefore,
have no indirect or secondary air
emissions impacts.

Impacts 40 CFR part 63 Subpart

May 2019, and the Economic Impact
and Small Business Screening
Assessments for Proposed Amendments
to National Emission Standards for the
Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
Facilities (Subpart HHHHH), in the
MCM Docket.
C. What are the cost impacts?
We estimate that to comply with the
final amendments, each facility in the
MCM source category will experience
increased reporting and recordkeeping
costs. The recordkeeping and reporting
costs are presented in section VI.C of
this preamble. The costs include time to
read and understand the rule
amendments. Costs associated with
elimination of the SSM exemptions
were estimated as part of the reporting
and recordkeeping costs and include
time for re-evaluating previously
developed SSM record systems. Costs
associated with the provision to
electronically submit notifications and
semi-annual compliance reports using
CEDRI were estimated as part of the
reporting and recordkeeping costs and
include time for becoming familiar with
CEDRI and the reporting template for
semi-annual compliance reports.
We are also finalizing a provision for
performance testing no less frequently
than every 5 years for sources in the
MCM source category using add-on
controls to demonstrate compliance. We
estimate that 12 of the facilities subject
to the MCM NESHAP and using add-on
control devices will incur costs to
conduct control device performance
testing because they are not required by
their permits to conduct testing every 5
years. This total does not include
facilities in the MCM source category
that have add-on controls and are
currently required to perform periodic
performance testing as a condition of
their state operating permit. The cost for
a facility to conduct a destruction or
removal efficiency performance test
using EPA Method 25 or 25A is
estimated to be about $19,000. The total
cost for all 12 facilities to test their addon control devices in a single year, plus
one facility completing a retest to
account for 5 percent of control devices
failing to pass the first test, will be
$247,000. The total annualized testing
cost, including retests, is approximately
$57,000 per year at an interest rate of
5.25 percent and an additional $6,000 in
reporting costs per facility in the year in
which the test occurs for the MCM
source category. For further information
on the potential costs, see the cost tables
D. What are the economic impacts?
The economic impact analysis is
designed to inform decision-makers
about the potential economic
consequences of a regulatory action. For
the final rule, the EPA estimated the
cost of becoming familiar with the rule
and re-evaluating previously developed
SSM record systems and performing
periodic emissions testing at certain
facilities with add-on controls that are
not already required to perform testing.
To assess the maximum potential
impact, the largest cost expected to be
experienced in any 1 year is compared
to the total sales for the ultimate owner
of the affected facilities to estimate the
total burden for each facility.
For the final revisions to the MCM
NESHAP, the 2019 equivalent
annualized value (in 2018$) of the costs
over the period 2020–2026 is $66,000,
assuming a 3-percent discount rate and
$73,000 assuming a 7-percent discount
rate. The 43 affected facilities are owned
by 27 different parent companies, and
the total costs associated with the final
amendments range from 0.000005 to
0.025 percent of annual sales revenue
per ultimate owner. These costs are not
expected to result in a significant
market impact, regardless of whether
they are passed on to the purchaser or
absorbed by the firms.
The EPA also prepared a small
business screening assessment to
determine whether any of the identified
affected entities are small entities, as
defined by the U.S. Small Business
Administration. Two of the facilities
potentially affected by the final
revisions to the MCM NESHAP are
small entities. However, the costs
associated with the final amendments
for these two affected small entities
range from 0.002 to 0.025 percent of
annual sales revenues per ultimate
owner. Therefore, there are no
significant economic impacts on a
substantial number of small entities
from these final amendments.

analysis are provided in the technical

F. What analysis of environmental
justice did we conduct?
Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
(Subpart HHHHH), available in the
MCM Docket.
E. What are the benefits?
As stated above in section V.B of this
preamble, we were unable to quantify
the specific emissions reductions
associated with eliminating the SSM
exemption.
Because these final amendments are
not considered economically significant,
as defined by Executive Order 12866,
we did not monetize the benefits of
reducing these emissions. This does not
mean that there are no benefits
associated with the potential reduction
in volatile organic HAP from this rule.
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) establishes Federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
To examine the potential for any
environmental justice issues that might
be associated with the source category,
49737
during the proposal, we performed a
demographic analysis, which is an
assessment of risk to individual
demographic groups of the populations
living within 5 kilometers (km) and
within 50 km of the facilities. In the
analysis, we evaluated the distribution
of HAP-related cancer and noncancer
risk from the MCM source category
across different demographic groups
within the populations living near
facilities.
The results of the demographic
analysis are summarized in Table 4 of
this preamble. These results, for various
demographic groups, are based on the
estimated risk from actual emissions
levels for the population living within
50 km of the facilities. These results
have not changed since the proposal.

The results of the MCM source
category demographic analysis indicate
that emissions from the source category
expose approximately 3,700 people to a
cancer risk at or above 1-in-1 million
and zero people to a chronic noncancer
TOSHI greater than 1. The percentages
of the at-risk population in each
demographic group (except for African

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
The information collection activities
in this final rule will be submitted for
approval to OMB under the PRA. The
information collection request (ICR)
document that the EPA prepared has
been assigned EPA ICR number 2115.07.
You can find a copy of the ICR in the
MCM Docket (Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OAR–2018–0747), and it is briefly
summarized here.
The EPA is finalizing revisions to the
SSM provisions of the rule, requiring
periodic testing of control devices, and
requiring the use of electronic data
reporting for future performance test
data submittals, notifications, and
reports. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.
Respondents/affected entities:
Facilities manufacturing surface
coatings.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH).
Estimated number of respondents: In
the 3 years after the amendments are
final, approximately 43 respondents per
year will be subject to the NESHAP and
no additional respondents are expected
to become subject to the NESHAP
during that period.
Frequency of response: The total
number of responses in year 1 is 175, in
year 2 is 46, and in year 3 is 85.
Total estimated burden: The average
annual burden of the final amendments
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:49 Aug 13, 2020
Jkt 250001
to the 43 MCM facilities over the 3 years
is estimated to be 565 hours (per year).
The average annual burden to the
Agency over the 3 years after the
amendments are final is estimated to be
116 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: The average
annual cost of the final rule
amendments to the MCM facilities is
$65,000 in labor costs in the first 3 years
after the amendments are final. The
average annual capital and operation
and maintenance costs are $82,000. The
total average annual Agency cost of the
proposed amendments over the first 3
years after the amendments are final is
estimated to be $5,500.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for the EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. When
OMB approves this ICR, the Agency will
announce that approval in the Federal
Register and publish a technical
amendment to 40 CFR part 9 to display
the OMB control number for the
approved information collection
activities contained in this final rule.
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. The Agency has
determined that two of the facilities
potentially affected by the final
revisions to the MCM NESHAP are
small entities and may experience an
impact of 0.002 to 0.025 percent of
annual sales revenues per ultimate
owner. Details of this analysis are
presented in section V.D of this
preamble and additional detail is
provided in the economic impact
memoranda associated with this action.
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 of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C.
1531–1538, and does not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments.
While this action creates an enforceable
duty on the private sector, the cost does
not exceed $100 million or more.
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. No tribal facilities are
known to be engaged in any of the
industries that will be affected by this
action (MCM). Thus, Executive Order
13175 does not apply to this action.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13045 because it is not
economically significant as defined in
Executive Order 12866, and because the
EPA does not believe the environmental
health or safety risks addressed by this
action present a disproportionate risk to
children. This action’s health and risk
assessments are contained in sections
III.A, III.C, and IV.A of this preamble
and are further documented in the
Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
Risk Assessment Report, in the MCM
Docket.
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) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action involves technical
standards. Therefore, the EPA
conducted searches for the MCM
NESHAP through the Enhanced
National Standards Systems Network
Database managed by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI). We
also contacted voluntary consensus
standards (VCS) organizations and
accessed and searched their databases.
We conducted searches for EPA

VCS search, if the title or abstract (if
provided) of the VCS described
technical sampling and analytical
procedures that are similar to the EPA’s
reference method, the EPA ordered a
copy of the standard and reviewed it as
a potential equivalent method. We
reviewed all potential standards to
determine the practicality of the VCS for
this rule. This review requires
significant method validation data that
meet the requirements of EPA Method
301 for accepting alternative methods or
scientific, engineering, and policy
equivalence to procedures in the EPA
reference methods. The EPA may
reconsider determinations of
impracticality when additional
information is available for particular
VCS.
No applicable VCS were identified for
EPA Methods 1A, 2A, 2D, 2F, 2G, 21,
22, 25D, 305, 316, 625, 1624, 1625,
1666, 1671, 8260, 8260B (SW–846), and
8270. The following VCS were
identified as acceptable alternatives to
the EPA test methods for the purpose of
this rule.
The EPA is including in the final rule
the VCS ANSI/ASME PTC 19–10–1981
Part 10 (2010), ‘‘Flue and Exhaust Gas
Analyses,’’ as an acceptable alternative
to EPA Method 3B for the manual
procedures only and not the
instrumental procedures. This method
is used to quantify the oxygen and
carbon dioxide concentration in exhaust
from stationary combustion sources, and
is available at the American National
Standards Institute, 1899 L Street NW,
11th Floor, Washington, DC 20036 and
the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME), Three Park Avenue,
New York, NY 10016–5990. See https://
www.ansi.org and https://
www.asme.org.
Additionally, the EPA is including in
the final rule the VCS ASTM D6420–18,
‘‘Standard Test Method for
Determination of Gaseous Organic
Compounds by Direct Interface Gas
Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry,’’
as an acceptable alternative to EPA
Method 18 with the following caveats.
This ASTM procedure employs a direct
interface gas chromatograph/mass
spectrometer (GCMS) to identify and
quantify the 36 volatile organic
compounds (or sub-set of these
compounds) listed in the method, and
has been approved by the EPA as an
alternative to EPA Method 18 only
when the target compounds are all
known and the target compounds are all
listed in ASTM D6420 as measurable.
ASTM D6420–18 should not be used for
methane and ethane because the atomic
mass is less than 35; and ASTM D6420
VerDate Sep<11>2014

should never be specified as a total VOC
method.
The EPA is including in the final rule
the VCS ASTM D2369–10(2015) el,
‘‘ ‘Test Method for Volatile Content of
Coatings;’’ ASTM D2697–03 (2014),
‘‘Standard Test Method for Volume
Nonvolatile Matter in Clear or
Pigmented Coatings;’’ and ASTM
D3960–98, ‘‘Standard Practice for
Determining VOC Content of Paints and
Related Coatings,’’ as acceptable
alternatives to EPA Method 24 for
determining the weight-percent HAP
content of coatings, by determining the
volatile matter or VOC content of
coatings and use that value as a
substitute for the mass fraction of HAP,
for demonstrating compliance with the
weight-percent HAP limit alternative in
40 CFR 63.8055. ASTM D2369–10(2015)
el is used for calculating the weight
percent volatile organic content in
coatings and the weight percent solids
content. ASTM D2697–03 (2014)
measures the volume of dry coating
solids in a given volume of liquid
coating. ASTM D3960–98 is used for
determining the VOC content of paints
and related coatings and for calculating
the VOC content expressed as the mass
of VOC: (1) Per unit volume of coating
less water and exempt volatile
compounds, and (2) per unit volume of
coating solids and (3) per unit mass of
coating solids.
In addition, the EPA is including in
the final rule-the VCS ASTM D6348–
12e1, ‘‘Determination of Gaseous
Compounds by Extractive Direct
Interface Fourier Transform (FTIR)
Spectroscopy,’’ as an acceptable
alternative to EPA Method 320 of
appendix A to 40 CFR part 63 with
caveats requiring inclusion of selected
annexes to the standard as mandatory.
ASTM D6348–12e1 identifies and
measures the concentration of organic
compounds in an exhaust stream. The
test plan preparation and
implementation in the Annexes to
ASTM D6348–12e1, Sections Al through
A8 are mandatory; and in ASTM
D6348–12e1, Annex A5 (Analyte
Spiking Technique), the percent (%) R
must be determined for each target
analyte (Equation A5.5). In order for the
test data to be acceptable for a
compound, %R must be 70% ≥ R ≤
130%. If the %R value does not meet
this criterion for a target compound, the
test data is not acceptable for that
compound and the test must be repeated
for that analyte (i.e., the sampling and/
or analytical procedure should be
adjusted before a retest). The %R value
for each compound must be reported in
the test report, and all field
measurements must be corrected with

ASTM International, 1850 M Street NW,
Suite 1030, Washington, DC 20036. See

The EPA is including in the final rule
the VCS CARB Method 310,
‘‘Determination of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) in Consumer
Products and Reactive Organic
Compounds (ROC) in Aerosol Coating
Products,’’ as an acceptable alternative
to EPA Method 311 for determining the
weight-percent HAP content of coatings,
by determining the mass fraction of
volatile matter and use that value as a
substitute for the mass fraction of HAP,
for demonstrating compliance with the
weight-percent HAP limit alternative in
40 CFR 63.8055. This method is used to
determine the weight percent of VOC in
consumer products and ROC in aerosol
coating products and is available from
the California Air Resources Board

follows:
■
§ 63.8000 What are my general
requirements for complying with this
subpart?
(a) Applicability. You must comply
with paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this
section.
(1) Except as specified in paragraph
(a)(2) of this section, you must be in
compliance with the emission limits
and work practice standards in Tables 1
through 5 to this subpart at all times,
except during periods of startup,
shutdown, and malfunction. You must
meet the requirements specified in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
You must meet the requirements
specified in §§ 63.8005 through 63.8030
(or the alternative means of compliance
in § 63.8050), except as specified in
paragraph (d) of this section. You must
meet the notification, reporting, and
recordkeeping requirements specified in
§§ 63.8070, 63.8075, and 63.8080.
(2) Beginning on the compliance dates
specified in § 63.7995(e), paragraph
(a)(1) of this section no longer applies.
Instead, beginning no later than the
compliance dates specified in
§ 63.7995(e), you must be in compliance
with the emission limits and work
practice standards in Tables 1 through
5 to this subpart at all times. You must
meet the requirements specified in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.
You must meet the requirements
specified in §§ 63.8005 through 63.8030
(or the alternative means of compliance
in § 63.8050), except as specified in
paragraph (d) of this section. You must
meet the notification, reporting, and
recordkeeping requirements specified in
§§ 63.8070, 63.8075, and 63.8080.
(b) * * *
(2) You must comply with paragraphs
(b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(i) Except as specified in paragraph
(b)(2)(ii) of this section, opening of a
safety device, as defined in § 63.8105, is
allowed at any time conditions require
it to avoid unsafe conditions.
(ii) Beginning on the compliance
dates specified in § 63.7995(e),
paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section no
longer applies. Instead, opening of a
safety device, as defined in § 63.8105, is
considered a deviation, as defined in
§ 63.8105, unless it is a bypass of a
control for a process vessel and

accounted for as specified in
§ 63.8005(h).
(c) * * *
(3) If you use a halogen reduction
device to reduce hydrogen halide and
halogen HAP emissions that are
generated by combusting halogenated
vent streams, you must meet the
requirements of § 63.994, except as
specified in paragraph (f) of this section,
and the requirements referenced
therein. If you use a halogen reduction
device before a combustion device, you
must determine the halogen atom
emission rate prior to the combustion
device according to the procedures in
§ 63.115(d)(2)(v).
(d) * * *
(1) Requirements for performance
tests. The requirements specified in
paragraphs (d)(1)(i) through (vi) of this
section apply instead of or in addition
to the requirements for performance
testing of control devices as specified in
subpart SS of this part.
(i) Conduct gas molecular weight
analysis using Method 3, 3A, or 3B in
appendix A to 40 CFR part 60. As an
alternative to EPA Method 3B for the
manual procedures only and not the
instrumental procedures, you may use
ANSI/ASME PTC 19–10–1981 Part 10
(incorporated by reference, see § 63.14)
as an acceptable alternative.
*
*
*
*
*
(iii) As an alternative to using Method
18, Method 25/25A, or Method 26/26A
of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, to
comply with any of the emission limits
specified in Tables 1 through 6 to this
subpart you may use the alternatives
specified in paragraph (d)(1)(iii)(A) or
(B) of this section.
(A) As an alternative to using Method
18, Method 25/25A, or Method 26/26A
of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, you may
use Method 320 of appendix A to this
part. When using Method 320, you must
follow the analyte spiking procedures of
section 13 of Method 320, unless you
demonstrate that the complete spiking
procedure has been conducted at a
similar source. As an alternative to
Method 320 of appendix A to this part,
you may use ASTM Method D6348–
12e1 (incorporated by reference, see
§ 63.14), with the caveats that the test
plan preparation and implementation in
the Annexes to ASTM Method D6348–
12el, Sections Al through A8 are
mandatory; and in ASTM Method
D6348–12e1 Annex A5 (Analyte Spiking
Technique), the percent (%) R must be
determined for each target analyte
(Equation A5.5). In order for the test
data to be acceptable for a compound,
%R must be 70% ≥ R ≤ 130%. If the %R
value does not meet this criterion for a
E:\FR\FM\14AUR2.SGM

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES2
49742
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 158 / Friday, August 14, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
target compound, the test data is not
acceptable for that compound and the
test must be repeated for that analyte
(i.e., the sampling and/or analytical
procedure should be adjusted before a
retest). The %R value for each
compound must be reported in the test
report, and all field measurements must
be corrected with the calculated %R
value for that compound by using the
following equation:
Reported Results = (Measured
Concentration in the Stack × 100)/
% R.
(B) As an alternative to using EPA
Method 18, you may also use ASTM
D6420–18 (incorporated by reference,
see § 63.14), but only when the target
compounds are all known and the target
compounds are all listed in ASTM
D6420–18 as measurable; ASTM D6420–
18 should not be used for methane and
ethane; and ASTM D6420–18 may not
be used as a total VOC method.
*
*
*
*
*
(vi) You must conduct periodic
performance tests and establish the
operating limits required by
§§ 63.8005(e), 63.8010(b)(1), and
63.8050(d)(3) within 5 years following
the previous performance test. You must
conduct the initial or first periodic
performance test before August 14,
2023, unless you are already required to
complete periodic performance tests as
a requirement of renewing your
facility’s operating permit under 40 CFR
part 70 or 71, and have conducted a
performance test on or after August 15,
2022. Thereafter you must conduct a
performance test no later than 5 years
following the previous performance test.
Operating limits must be confirmed or
reestablished during each performance
test.
(2) [Reserved]
(3) Periodic verification. For a control
device with total inlet HAP emissions
less than 1 ton per year (tpy), you must
establish at least one operating limit for
a parameter that you will measure and
record at least once per averaging period
(i.e., daily or block) to verify that the
control device is operating properly.
You may elect to measure the same
parameter that is required for control
devices that control inlet HAP
emissions equal to or greater than 1 tpy.
If the parameter will not be measured
continuously, you must request
approval of your proposed procedure in
the precompliance report. You must
identify the operating limit or range and
the measurement frequency, and you
must provide rationale to support how
these measurements demonstrate the
control device is operating properly.

(A) If you wish to use a CEMS other
than a Fourier Transform Infrared
Spectroscopy (FTIR) meeting the
requirements of Performance
Specification 15 in appendix B to 40
CFR part 60 or a hydrogen chloride
(HCl) CEMS meeting the requirements
of Performance Specification 18 in
appendix B to 40 CFR part 60 and
Quality Assurance Procedure 6 in
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60 to
measure hydrogen halide and halogen
HAP before we promulgate a
Performance Specification for such
CEMS, you must prepare a monitoring
plan and submit it for approval in
accordance with the procedures
specified in § 63.8.
*
*
*
*
*
(ii) * * *
(C) For CEMS meeting Performance
Specification 8 used to monitor
performance of a noncombustion
device, determine the predominant
organic HAP using either process
knowledge or the screening procedures
of Method 18 in appendix A–6 to 40
CFR part 60 on the control device inlet
stream, calibrate the monitor on the
predominant organic HAP, and report
the results as C1. Use Method 18, ASTM
D6420–18 (incorporated by reference,
see § 63.14), or any approved alternative
as the reference method for the relative
accuracy tests, and report the results as
C1.
*
*
*
*
*
(iv) The CEMS data must be reduced
to operating day or operating block
averages computed using valid data,
except monitoring data also are
sufficient to constitute a valid hour of
data if measured values are available for
at least two of the 15-minute periods
during an hour when calibration,
quality assurance, or maintenance
activities are being performed. An
operating block is a period of time from
the beginning to end of batch operations
in the manufacturing of a coating.
Operating block averages may be used
only for process vessel data.

(8) Quality control program.
Beginning no later than the compliance
dates specified in § 63.7995(e), in lieu of
the requirements specified in
§ 63.8(d)(3), you must keep the written
quality control program procedures
required by § 63.8(d)(2) on record for the
life of the affected source or until the
affected source is no longer subject to
the provisions of this part, to be made
available for inspection, upon request,
by the Administrator. If the performance
evaluation plan is revised, you shall
keep previous (i.e., superseded) versions
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
of the performance evaluation plan on
record to be made available for
inspection, upon request, by the
Administrator, for a period of 5 years
after each revision to the plan. The
program of corrective action should be
included in the plan required under
§ 63.8(d)(2).
(e) General duty. Beginning no later
than August 14, 2023, at all times, you
must operate and maintain any affected
source, including associated air
pollution control equipment and
monitoring equipment, in a manner
consistent with safety and good air
pollution control practices for
minimizing emissions. The general duty
to minimize emissions does not require
you to make any further efforts to
reduce emissions if levels required by
the applicable standard have been
achieved. Determination of whether a
source is operating in compliance with
operation and maintenance
requirements will be based on
information available to the
Administrator which may include, but
is not limited to, monitoring results,
review of operation and maintenance
procedures, review of operation and
maintenance records, and inspection of
the source.
(f) Removal of startup, shutdown, and
malfunction requirements. Beginning on
the compliance dates specified in
§ 63.7995(e), the referenced provisions
specified in paragraphs (f)(1) through
(22) of this section do not apply when
demonstrating compliance with this
subpart through referenced provisions
of subparts SS, UU, and TT of this part.

*
(d) * * *
(1) To demonstrate initial compliance
with a percent reduction emission limit
in Table 1 to this subpart, you must
conduct the performance test or design
evaluation under conditions as specified
in § 63.7(e)(1), except as specified in
paragraph (d)(5) of this section, and
except that the performance test or
design evaluation must be conducted
under worst-case conditions. Also, the
performance test for a control device
used to control emissions from process
vessels must be conducted according to
§ 63.1257(b)(8), including the submittal
of a site-specific test plan for approval
prior to testing. The requirements in
§ 63.997(e)(1)(i) and (iii) also do not
apply for performance tests conducted
to determine compliance with the
emission limits for process vessels.
*
*
*
*
*
(5) Beginning on the compliance dates
specified in § 63.7995(e), § 63.7(e)(1) no
longer applies and performance tests
shall be conducted under such
conditions as the Administrator
specifies to the owner or operator based
on representative performance of the
affected source for the period being
tested. Representative conditions
exclude periods of startup and
shutdown unless specified by the
Administrator or an applicable subpart.
The owner or operator may not conduct
performance tests during periods of
malfunction. The owner or operator
must record the process information
that is necessary to document operating

support that such conditions represent
normal operation. Upon request, the
owner or operator shall make available
to the Administrator such records as
may be necessary to determine the
conditions of performance tests.
(e) Establishing operating limits. You
must establish operating limits under
the conditions required for your initial
compliance demonstration and periodic
performance tests, except you may elect
to establish operating limit(s) for
conditions other than those under
which a performance test was
conducted as specified in paragraph
(e)(1) of this section and, if applicable,
paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
*
*
*
*
*
(2) If you elect to establish separate
operating limits for different emission
episodes, you must maintain records as
specified in § 63.8080(g) of each point at
which you change from one operating
limit to another, even if the duration of
the monitoring for an operating limit is
less than 15 minutes.
*
*
*
*
*
(g) Flow indicators. If flow to a control
device could be intermittent or
bypassed, you must install, calibrate,
and operate a flow indicator at the inlet
or outlet of the control device to identify
periods of no flow, or you must comply
with the alternatives requirements of
paragraph (g)(1) or (2) of this section.
Periods of no flow may not be used in
daily or block averages. You must
perform a flow meter verification check
annually for at least two points: One at
the instrument’s zero and the other at
the instrument’s span.
(1) You must use a valve position or
bypass damper position indicator that
provides a continuous reading and
record of the bypass valve or damper
position when the control device is in
operation. You must inspect the
monitoring system semiannually to
verify that the monitor will indicate
valve position.
(2) You must secure the bypass line
valve or bypass damper in the nondiverting position with a car-seal or a
lock-and-key type configuration. You
must visually inspect the seal or closure
mechanism at least once every month to
ensure that the valve is maintained in
the non-diverting position and that the
vent stream is not diverted through the
bypass line. You must also record the
occurrence of all periods when the seal
or closure mechanism is broken, or the
key for a lock-and-key type lock has
been checked out.
(h) Bypass. Beginning no later than
the compliance date specified in
§ 63.7995(e), when determining
compliance with the percent emission
reduction requirements in Table 1 to
this subpart, you must account for the
time that the control device was
bypassed. You must use Equation 1 to
this section to determine the allowable
total hours of bypass for each semiannual compliance period. To
demonstrate compliance, the actual total
hours of bypass must not exceed the
allowable total hours of bypass
calculated by Equation 1 to this section.
Tbyp = Total allowable source operating
time (hours) when the control
device for stationary process vessels
can be bypassed during the
semiannual compliance period for
any reason.
R = Control efficiency of control device,
percent, as determined by Equation
6 in § 63.997(e)(2)(iv)(C).
OCE = The applicable percent emission
reduction requirement in Table 1 to
this subpart.
Top = Total source operating time
(hours) for stationary process
vessels during the semiannual
compliance period.

electronically within the time period
prescribed. Examples of such events are
acts of nature (e.g., hurricanes,
earthquakes, or floods), acts of war or
terrorism, or equipment failure or safety
hazard beyond the control of the
affected facility (e.g., large scale power
outage).
(2) You must submit notification to
the Administrator in writing as soon as
possible following the date you first
knew, or through due diligence should
have known, that the event may cause
or has caused a delay in reporting.
(3) You must provide to the
Administrator:
(i) A written description of the force
majeure event;
(ii) A rationale for attributing the
delay in reporting beyond the regulatory
deadline to the force majeure event;
(iii) Measures taken or to be taken to
minimize the delay in reporting; and
(iv) The date by which you propose to
report, or if you have already met the
reporting requirement at the time of the
notification, the date you reported.
(4) The decision to accept the claim
of force majeure and allow an extension
to the reporting deadline is solely
within the discretion of the
Administrator.
(5) In any circumstance, the reporting
must occur as soon as possible after the
force majeure event occurs.

(e) Before the compliance date
specified in § 63.7995(e), for each
CEMS, you must keep the records of the
date and time that each deviation
started and stopped, and whether the
deviation occurred during a period of
SSM or during another period. On and
after the compliance date specified in
§ 63.7995(e), for each CEMS, you must
keep the records of the date and time
that each deviation started and stopped,
and whether the deviation occurred
during a period of SSM or during
another period.
(f) Before the compliance date
specified in § 63.7995(e), in the SSMP
required by § 63.6(e)(3), you are not
required to include Group 2 or nonaffected emission points. For equipment
leaks only, the SSMP requirement is
limited to control devices and is
optional for other equipment. On and
after the compliance date specified in
§ 63.7995(e), the requirements of this
paragraph (f) no longer apply.
*
*
*
*
*
(h) On and after the compliance date
specified in § 63.7995(e), records of the
total source operating time (hours) for
stationary process vessels during the
semiannual compliance period, and the
source operating time (hours) when the
control device for stationary process
vessels was bypassed during the
semiannual compliance period for any
reason, as used in determining
compliance with the percent emission
reduction requirements in Table 1 to
this subpart, as specified in
§ 63.8005(h).
(i) On and after the compliance date
specified in § 63.7995(e), for each
deviation from an emission limitation
reported under § 63.8075(e)(5), a record
of the information specified in
paragraphs (i)(1) and (2) of this section,
as applicable.
(1) In the event that an affected unit
fails to meet an applicable standard,
record the number of failures. For each
failure record the date, time, and
duration of each failure.
(2) For each failure to meet an
applicable standard, record and retain a
list of the affected sources or equipment,
an estimate of the quantity of each
regulated pollutant emitted over any
emission limit and a description of the
method used to estimate the emissions.
(j) Any records required to be
maintained by this subpart that are
submitted electronically via the EPA’s
CEDRI may be maintained in electronic
format. This ability to maintain
electronic copies does not affect the
requirement for facilities to make
records, data, and reports available
upon request to a delegated air agency
or the EPA as part of an on-site
compliance evaluation.

C. Judicial Review and Administrative Reconsideration
Under Clean Air Act (CAA) section 307(b)(1), judicial review of
this final action is available only by filing a petition for review in
the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
(the Court) by October 13, 2020. Under CAA section 307(b)(2), the
requirements established by this final rule may not be challenged
separately in any civil or criminal proceedings brought by the EPA to
enforce the requirements.
Section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA further provides that only an
objection to a rule or procedure which was raised with reasonable
specificity during the period for public comment (including any public
hearing) may be raised during judicial review. This section also
provides a mechanism for the EPA to reconsider the rule if the person
raising an objection can demonstrate to the Administrator that it was
impracticable to raise such objection within the period for public
comment or if the grounds for such objection arose after the period for
public comment (but within the time specified for judicial review) and
if such objection is of central relevance to the outcome of the rule.
Any person seeking to make such a demonstration should submit a
Petition for Reconsideration to the Office of the Administrator, U.S.

II. Background
A. What is the statutory authority for this action?
Section 112 of the CAA establishes a two-stage regulatory process
to address emissions of HAP from stationary sources. In the first
stage, we must identify categories of sources emitting one or more of
the HAP listed in CAA section 112(b) and then promulgate technology-
based NESHAP for those sources. ``Major sources'' are those that emit,
or have the potential to emit, any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons per
year (tpy) or more, or 25 tpy or more of any combination of HAP. For
major sources, these standards are commonly referred to as maximum
achievable control technology (MACT) standards and must reflect the
maximum degree of emission reductions of HAP achievable (after
considering cost, energy requirements, and non-air quality health and
environmental impacts). In developing MACT standards, CAA section
112(d)(2) directs the EPA to consider the application of measures,
processes, methods, systems, or techniques, including but not limited
to those that reduce the volume of or eliminate HAP emissions through
process changes, substitution of materials, or other modifications;
enclose systems or
[[Page 49726]]
processes to eliminate emissions; collect, capture, or treat HAP when
released from a process, stack, storage, or fugitive emissions point;
are design, equipment, work practice, or operational standards; or any
combination of the above.
For these MACT standards, the statute specifies certain minimum
stringency requirements, which are referred to as MACT floor
requirements, and which may not be based on cost considerations. See
CAA section 112(d)(3). For new sources, the MACT floor cannot be less
stringent than the emission control achieved in practice by the best-
controlled similar source. The MACT standards for existing sources can
be less stringent than floors for new sources, but they cannot be less
stringent than the average emission limitation achieved by the best-
performing 12 percent of existing sources in the category or
subcategory (or the best-performing five sources for categories or
subcategories with fewer than 30 sources). In developing MACT
standards, we must also consider control options that are more
stringent than the floor under CAA section 112(d)(2). We may establish
standards more stringent than the floor, based on the consideration of
the cost of achieving the emissions reductions, any non-air quality
health and environmental impacts, and energy requirements.
In the second stage of the regulatory process, the CAA requires the
EPA to undertake two different analyses, which we refer to as the
technology review and the residual risk review. Under the technology
review, we must review the technology-based standards and revise them
``as necessary (taking into account developments in practices,
processes, and control technologies),'' no less frequently than every 8
years, pursuant to CAA section 112(d)(6).\1\ Under the residual risk
review, we must evaluate the risk to public health remaining after
application of the technology-based standards and revise the standards,
if necessary, to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public
health or to prevent, taking into consideration costs, energy, safety,
and other relevant factors, an adverse environmental effect. The
residual risk review is required within 8 years after promulgation of
the technology-based standards, pursuant to CAA section 112(f). In
conducting the residual risk review, if the EPA determines that the
current standards provide an ample margin of safety to protect public
health, it is not necessary to revise the MACT standards pursuant to
CAA section 112(f).\2\ For more information on the statutory authority
for this rule, see the proposal preamble (84 FR 46610, September 4,
2019) and the memorandum, CAA Section 112 Risk and Technology Reviews:
Statutory Authority and Methodology, December 14, 2017, available in
the docket for this rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On April 21, 2020, as the Agency was preparing the final
rule for signature, a decision was issued in LEAN v. EPA, 955 F. 3d.
1088 (D.C. Cir. 2020) in which the Court held that the EPA has an
obligation to set standards for unregulated pollutants as part of
technology reviews under CAA section 112(d)(6). At the time of
signature, the mandate in that case had not been issued and the EPA
is continuing to evaluate the decision.
\2\ The Court has affirmed this approach of implementing CAA
section 112(f)(2)(A): NRDC v. EPA, 529 F.3d 1077, 1083 (D.C. Cir.
2008) (``If EPA determines that the existing technology-based
standards provide an `ample margin of safety,' then the Agency is
free to readopt those standards during the residual risk
rulemaking.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. What is the MCM source category and how does the NESHAP regulate HAP
emissions from the source category?
The EPA promulgated the MCM NESHAP on December 11, 2003 (68 FR
69185). The standards are codified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.
The MCM industry consists of facilities that are engaged in their
manufacture without regard to the particular end uses or consumers of
such products. The manufacturing of these products may occur in any
combination at any facility. The source category covered by this MACT
standard currently includes 43 facilities.
The MCM source category includes the collection of equipment (i.e.,
process vessels; storage tanks; components such as pumps, valves, and
connections; wastewater tanks; heat exchangers; and transfer racks)
that is used to manufacture coatings at a facility. MCM operations may
also include certain cleaning operations. Coatings manufactured at MCM
facilities are materials such as paints, inks, or adhesives that are
intended to be applied to a substrate to form a protective, decorative,
or functional layer (e.g., an adhesive) and consist of a mixture of
resins, pigments, solvents, and/or other additives. Coatings are
produced by a manufacturing operation in which materials are blended,
mixed, diluted, or otherwise formulated. Coatings do not include
materials made in processes where a formulation component is
synthesized by a chemical reaction or separation activity and then
transferred to another vessel where it is formulated to produce a
material used as a coating, where the synthesized or separated
component is not stored prior to formulation.
The equipment controlled by the MCM NESHAP includes process
vessels, storage tanks for feedstocks and products, equipment leak
components (pumps, compressors, agitators, pressure relief devices
(PRDs), sampling connection systems, open-ended valves or lines,
valves, connectors, and instrumentation systems), wastewater tanks,
heat exchangers, and transfer racks.
The current NESHAP regulates process vessels and storage tanks
based on the volume of the process vessel or storage tank and the
maximum true vapor pressure of the organic HAP processed or stored.
Control requirements range from the use of tightly fitted lids on
process vessels to also capturing and reducing organic HAP emissions
through the use of add-on controls (i.e., a flare, oxidizer, or
condenser). For halogenated vent streams from process vessels and
storage tanks, the use of a flare is prohibited, and a halogen
reduction device (i.e., an acid gas scrubber) is required after a
combustion control device. For storage tanks, facilities may comply
with the provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, by complying with
the provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart WW.
The NESHAP regulates emissions from equipment leaks at existing
sources by requiring compliance with leak inspection and repair
provisions using sight, sound, and smell in 40 CFR part 63, subpart R,
or alternatively, the leak detection and repair (LDAR) provisions in 40
CFR part 63, subpart TT or UU. New sources are required to comply with
the LDAR provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart TT or UU.
The NESHAP regulates wastewater streams by requiring the use of
fixed roofs on wastewater tanks, treating the wastewater (either on-
site or off-site) as a hazardous waste under 40 CFR part 264, 265, or
266, or using enhanced biological treatment if the wastewater contains
less than 50 parts per million by weight (ppmw) of partially soluble
HAP. If the wastewater is treated as a hazardous waste under 40 CFR
part 264, 265, or 266, it may be treated by steam stripping or
incineration. These standards apply only to wastewater streams that
contain total partially soluble and soluble HAP at an annual average
concentration greater than or equal to 4,000 ppmw and loads greater
than or equal to 750 pounds per year (lb/yr) at an existing source. For
new sources, these standards apply only to wastewater streams that
contain total partially soluble and soluble HAP at an annual average
concentration greater
[[Page 49727]]
than or equal to 1,600 ppmw and any partially soluble and soluble HAP
load.
The NESHAP regulates transfer operations if the operation involves
the bulk loading of coating products that contain 3.0 million gallons
per year or more of HAP with a weighted average HAP partial pressure
greater than or equal to 1.5 pounds per square inch, absolute.
Regulated transfer operations are required to reduce emissions by using
a closed vent system and a control device (other than a flare) to
reduce emissions by at least 75 percent; using a closed vent system and
a flare for a non-halogenated vent stream; or using a vapor balancing
system. When a non-flare combustion device is used to control a
halogenated vent stream, then a halogen reduction device must be used
either before or after the combustion device. If used after the
combustion device, the halogen reduction device must meet either a
minimum 95-percent reduction or a maximum 0.45 kilograms per hour (kg/
hr) emission rate of hydrogen halide or halogen. If used before the
combustion device, the halogen reduction device must meet a maximum
0.45 kg/hr emission rate of hydrogen halide or halogen.
The NESHAP requires heat exchangers to meet the provisions of 40
CFR part 63, subpart F, 40 CFR 63.104. Section 63.104 requires the
implementation of a LDAR or monitoring program for heat exchange
systems, unless the system meets certain design and operation
provisions, or it is a once-through system that meets certain National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit provisions.
C. What changes did we propose for the MCM source category in our
September 4, 2019, proposal?
On September 4, 2019, the EPA published a proposed rule in the
Federal Register for the MCM NESHAP, 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH,
that took into consideration the RTR analyses. We proposed to find that
after compliance with the current NESHAP (i.e., MACT standards) the
risks to public health from the source category are acceptable, and
that additional emission controls are not necessary to provide an ample
margin of safety. Based on our technology review, we did not identify
any cost-effective developments in practices, processes, or control
technologies for the source category. Accordingly, we proposed no
changes to the existing emission control requirements in 40 CFR part
63, subpart HHHHH, based on the risk assessment or the technology
review.
We proposed the following amendments to improve rule effectiveness,
provide regulatory flexibility, and comply with a legal ruling:
A new requirement for electronic submittal of
notifications, semi-annual reports, and compliance reports (which
include performance test reports);
revisions to the SSM provisions of the NESHAP to ensure
that they are consistent with the Court decision in Sierra Club v. EPA,
551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008), which vacated two provisions that
exempted source owners or operators from the requirement to comply with
otherwise applicable CAA section 112(d) emission standards during
periods of SSM;
revisions to account for instances where 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, cross-references other subparts that contain SSM
provisions;
language to add 40 CFR 63.8005(h) to clarify that any
periods during which a control device for a process vessel is bypassed
must be included in demonstrating compliance with the emission
reduction provisions for process vessels in Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH;
revisions to 40 CFR 63.8000(b)(2), which allows the
opening of a safety device at any time conditions require it to avoid
unsafe conditions, to clarify that such an opening to avoid unsafe
conditions is considered a deviation, unless it is a bypass of a
control for a process vessel and accounted for as specified in 40 CFR
63.8005(h);
removal of references to paragraph (d)(4) of the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard
Communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), which dealt with OSHA-
defined carcinogens, and replacing that reference with a list of HAP
that must be regarded as potentially carcinogenic based on EPA
guidelines;
a new requirement to fulfill performance testing and
reestablish operating limits no less frequently than every 5 years for
sources that are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance,
unless they are already required to perform periodic testing as a
condition of renewing their title V operating permit; and
to IBR alternative test methods and references to updated
alternative test methods.
III. What is included in this final rule?
This action finalizes the EPA's determinations pursuant to the RTR
provisions of CAA section 112 for the MCM source category. This action
also finalizes the changes to the NESHAP described in section II.C of
this preamble, as proposed.
A. What are the final rule amendments based on the risk review for the
MCM source category?
This section describes the final decisions for the MCM NESHAP (40
CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) being promulgated pursuant to CAA section
112(f). The EPA proposed no changes to this subpart based on the risk
review conducted pursuant to CAA section 112(f). In this action, we are
finalizing our proposed determination that risks from this source
category are acceptable, and that the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, provides an ample margin of safety to protect public health, and
that more stringent standards are not necessary to prevent an adverse
environmental effect. The EPA received no new data or other information
during the public comment period that causes us to change that proposed
determination. Therefore, we are not requiring additional emission
controls under CAA section 112(f)(2) for this subpart in this action.
B. What are the final rule amendments based on the technology review
for the MCM source category?
We determined that there are no developments in practices,
processes, and control technologies that warrant revisions to the MACT
standards for this source category. The EPA received no new data or
other information during the public comment period that causes us to
change that proposed determination. Therefore, we are not finalizing
revisions to the MACT standards under CAA section 112(d)(6).
C. What are the final rule amendments addressing emissions during
periods of SSM?
We are finalizing the proposed amendments to the MCM NESHAP to
remove and revise provisions related to SSM. In its 2008 decision in
Sierra Club v. EPA 551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008), the Court vacated
portions of two provisions in the EPA's CAA section 112 regulations
governing the emissions of HAP during periods of SSM. Specifically, the
Court vacated the SSM exemption contained in 40 CFR 63.6(f)(1) and
(h)(1), holding that under section 302(k) of the CAA, emissions
standards or limitations must be continuous in nature and that the SSM
exemption violates the CAA's requirement that some CAA section 112
standards apply continuously. Previously, the 2003 MCM NESHAP included
exemptions for standards during SSM. As detailed in section IV.D
[[Page 49728]]
of the proposal preamble (84 FR 46610, September 4, 2019), the final
rule removes the SSM exemptions (see 40 CFR 63.8000(a)), consistent
with the Court decision in Sierra Club v. EPA, 551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C.
Cir. 2008).
Table 10 to subpart HHHHH of 40 CFR part 63 (General Provisions
applicability table) is being revised to change the specification of
the requirements that apply during periods of SSM. We eliminated or
revised certain recordkeeping and reporting requirements related to the
eliminated SSM exemptions. The EPA also made other harmonizing changes
to remove or modify inappropriate, unnecessary, or redundant language
in the absence of the SSM exemptions. We proposed to find that
facilities in this source category can meet the applicable emission
standards in the MCM NESHAP at all times, including periods of startup
and shutdown, without additional standards or work practices. The EPA
considered the requirements for control device bypasses and for safety
devices that we are finalizing in this rule when proposing to find that
the standards can be met at all times after the SSM provisions are
revised. We received no information to cause us to change our
conclusion; therefore, the EPA is finalizing the proposed determination
that no additional standards are needed to address emissions during
startup and shutdown periods. The legal rationale and detailed changes
for startup and shutdown periods that we are finalizing here are set
forth in the September 4, 2019, preamble to the proposed rule. See 84
FR 46629 through 46630.
Further, as proposed, the EPA is not including standards for
malfunctions, except as related to the proposed revisions related to
control device bypasses and for safety devices. As discussed in section
IV.D of the September 4, 2019, proposal preamble, the EPA interprets
CAA section 112 as not requiring emissions that occur during periods of
malfunction to be factored into development of CAA section 112
standards, although the EPA has the discretion to set standards for
malfunctions where feasible. See 84 FR 46629 through 46630. For this
source category, we proposed at 40 CFR 63.8005(h) to provide a method
to account for control device bypass periods (including malfunction
periods) when evaluating compliance with the overall control efficiency
requirements for process vessels in Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63 subpart
HHHHH, and we solicited commenters to provide additional information.
We are revising the General Provisions table to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, to eliminate requirements that include rule language
providing an exemption for periods of SSM. Finally, we are revising as
proposed the Deviation Notification Report and related records as they
relate to malfunctions, as further described below. As discussed in
detail in the proposal preamble, these revisions are consistent with
the requirement in 40 CFR 63.8000(a) that the standards apply at all
times. Refer to section IV.D.1 of the proposal preamble for a detailed
discussion of these amendments (84 FR 46629, September 4, 2019).
We are finalizing amendments to account for instances where 40 CFR
part 63, subpart HHHHH, cross-references other subparts that contain
SSM provisions. Listed in 40 CFR 63.8000(f) are the referenced
provisions in subparts SS, TT, and UU of 40 CFR part 63 that contain
references to SSM periods that will no longer apply after the
compliance date for these amendments. Listed in 40 CFR 63.8000(f)(10)
through (22) are the paragraphs or phrases within the paragraphs that
will not apply after the applicable compliance date for the amendments
as a result of the final SSM revisions.
Because we are finalizing the revisions to remove the SSM
provisions and require compliance at all times, we are also finalizing
the amendment to add 40 CFR 63.8005(h) to account for bypass periods in
determining compliance with the emission percent reduction provisions
in Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, for process vessels. These
amendments will apply to process vessels with closed vent systems and
add-on controls that contain bypass lines that could divert a vent
stream to the atmosphere. We are finalizing the revisions that owners
or operators must measure and record during each semiannual compliance
period the hours that the control device was bypassed and the source's
total operating hours. They must use the overall control efficiency
required in Table 1, the total operating hours, and the control
efficiency of the control device to determine the allowable bypass
hours during the semiannual compliance period using Equation 1 in 40
CFR 63.8005(h). These changes are required because SSM periods that may
involve bypassing of the control device cannot be excluded and must now
be included in determining compliance.
Because we are finalizing the revisions to remove the SSM
provisions and require compliance at all times, we are also finalizing
the revisions to 40 CFR 63.8000(b)(2) so that opening of a safety
device to avoid unsafe conditions is considered a deviation, unless it
is a bypass of a control for a process vessel and accounted for as
specified in 40 CFR 63.8005(h). We are also finalizing the proposed
revisions to revise 40 CFR 63.8080(c), which is the provision requiring
a record of each time a safety device is opened, to add additional
recordkeeping provisions consistent with those for other deviations. In
the event a safety device is opened, the owners or operators will be
required to comply with the general duty provision in 40 CFR 63.8000(a)
to minimize emissions at all times, and to report and record
information related to deviations as specified in 40 CFR 63.8075 and
63.8080, respectively, unless it is a bypass of a control for a process
vessel and accounted for as specified in 40 CFR 63.8005(h).
D. What other changes have been made to the NESHAP?
The EPA is amending 40 CFR 63.8055(b)(4), as proposed, to remove a
reference to paragraph (d)(4) of the OSHA's Hazard Communication
standard addressing OSHA-defined carcinogens. We are replacing the
reference to carcinogens in 29 CFR 1910.1200(d)(4) with a new table,
Table 11 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, that lists those organic HAP
that must be included in calculating total organic HAP content of a
coating material if they are present at 0.1 percent or greater by mass.
We are including organic HAP in Table 11 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, if they were categorized in the EPA's Prioritized Chronic Dose-
Response Values for Screening Risk Assessments (dated May 9, 2014) as a
``human carcinogen,'' ``probable human carcinogen,'' or ``possible
human carcinogen'' according to The Risk Assessment Guidelines of 1986
(EPA/600/8-87/045, August 1987), or as ``carcinogenic to humans,''
``likely to be carcinogenic to humans,'' or with ``suggestive evidence
of carcinogenic potential'' according to the Guidelines for Carcinogen
Risk Assessment (EPA/630/P-03/001F, March 2005).
The EPA is making several additional revisions to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, to clarify text or correct typographical errors,
grammatical errors, and cross-reference errors. These editorial
corrections and clarifications are summarized in Table 2 of this
preamble.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are including in the final rule a requirement for facilities to
conduct control device performance testing no less frequently than once
every 5 years when using emission capture systems and add-on controls
to demonstrate compliance. For facilities with title V permits that
require comparable periodic testing prior to permit renewal, no
additional testing is required, and we included provisions in the rule
to allow facilities to harmonize the NESHAP testing schedule with a
facility's current title V testing schedule.
E. What are the requirements for electronic submission of
notifications, reports, and performance test data to the EPA?
The EPA is requiring owners or operators of MCM facilities to
submit electronic copies of certain required notifications, semiannual
reports, performance test reports, and performance evaluation reports,
through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) using the Compliance and
Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). The final rule requires
that certain performance test results be submitted using the Electronic
Reporting Tool. For the semiannual compliance reports, the final rule
requires that owners or operators use the appropriate spreadsheet
template to submit information to CEDRI. The final version of the
template for this report is located on the CEDRI website.
The electronic submittal of the reports addressed in this
rulemaking will increase the usefulness of the data contained in those
reports, is in keeping with current trends in data availability and
transparency, will further assist in the protection of public health
and the environment, will improve compliance by facilitating the
ability of regulated facilities to demonstrate compliance with
requirements and by facilitating the ability of delegated state, local,
tribal, and territorial air agencies and the EPA to assess and
determine compliance, and will ultimately reduce burden on regulated
facilities, delegated air agencies, and the EPA. Electronic reporting
also eliminates paper-based, manual processes, thereby saving time and
resources, simplifying data entry, eliminating redundancies, minimizing
data reporting errors, and providing data quickly and accurately to the
affected facilities, air agencies, the EPA, and the public. For a more
thorough discussion of electronic reporting, see the memorandum,
Electronic Reporting Requirements for New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) Rules, available in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0747.
F. What are the effective and compliance dates of the standards?
The revisions to the MACT standards being promulgated in this
action are effective on August 14, 2020.
For all of the provisions we are finalizing under CAA sections
112(d)(2) and (3), all affected source owners or operators must comply
with all of the amendments no later than 3 years after the effective
date of the final rule, or upon startup, whichever is later. As
provided in CAA section 112(i), all new affected sources would comply
with these provisions by the effective date of the final amendments to
the MCM NESHAP, or upon startup, whichever is later.
All affected facilities would have to continue to meet the current
provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, up to and no later than
the applicable compliance date of the amended rule.
We are finalizing the amendments to the provisions for SSM by
removing the exemptions from the emission limitations (i.e., emission
limits, operating limits, and work practice standards) during SSM
periods and by removing the provision to develop and implement an SSM
plan. We are also requiring that owners or operators take into account
control device bypass periods, even if during SSM periods, when
demonstrating compliance with the percent emission reduction provisions
for process vessels in Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.
For all affected sources that commence construction or
reconstruction on or before September 4, 2019, we are providing 3 years
after the effective date of the final rule (or upon startup, whichever
is later) for owners or operators to comply with the provisions that
have been amended to remove the exemption from the emission limitations
during SSM periods, with the exception of the vacated SSM exemptions
contained in 40 CFR 63.6(f)(1) and (h)(1). We are
[[Page 49730]]
revising Table 10 to clarify that for all affected sources, these
exemptions do not apply following the Court vacatur in Sierra Club v.
EPA, 551 F. 3d 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008). For all affected sources that
commenced construction or reconstruction after September 4, 2019, we
are requiring that owners or operators comply with the amended
provisions by the effective date of the final rule (or upon startup,
whichever is later).
We are also adding a provision that notifications, performance test
results, and semiannual compliance reports be submitted electronically,
and that the semiannual compliance report be submitted electronically
using a new template. We are requiring that all sources begin complying
with the new electronic reporting provisions beginning no later than 3
years after the regulation's effective date.
The EPA selected these compliance dates based on experience with
similar industries and the EPA's detailed justification for the
selected compliance dates is included in the preamble to the proposed
rule (84 FR 46634, September 4, 2019).
IV. What is the rationale for our final decisions and amendments for
the MCM source category?
For each issue, this section provides a description of what we

summaries and the EPA's responses can be found in the comment summary
and response document available in the docket.
A. Residual Risk Review for the MCM Source Category
1. What did we propose pursuant to CAA section 112(f) for the MCM
source category?
Pursuant to CAA section 112(f), the EPA conducted a residual risk
review and presented the results of this review, along with our
proposed decisions regarding risk acceptability and ample margin of
safety, in the September 4, 2019, proposed rule for 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH (84 FR 46610). The results of the risk assessment for the
proposal are presented briefly below in Table 3 of this preamble. More
detail is in the residual risk technical support document, Residual
Risk Assessment for the Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing Source
Category in Support of the 2019 Risk and Technology Review Proposed
Rule, available in the docket for this rulemaking.
Table 3 of this preamble provides a summary of the results of the
inhalation risk assessment for the source category.

\1\ Number of facilities evaluated in the risk analysis.
\2\ Maximum individual excess lifetime cancer risk due to HAP emissions from the source category.
\3\ Maximum target organ-specific hazard index (TOSHI). The target organ system with the highest TOSHI for the source category is respiratory.
\4\ The maximum estimated acute exposure concentration was divided by available short-term threshold values to develop an array of hazard quotient (HQ)
values. HQ values shown use the lowest available acute threshold value, which in most cases is the reference exposure limit (REL). When an HQ exceeds
1, we also show the HQ using the next lowest available acute dose-response value. The HQ shown here is for glycol ethers, for which there are no other
available acute dose-response values.
\5\ For this source category, it was determined that baseline allowable emissions are equal to baseline actual emissions and, therefore, the risk
summaries are the same.
The results of the inhalation risk modeling using the source
category emissions for both actual and allowable emissions, as shown in
Table 3 of this preamble, indicate the estimated cancer maximum
individual risk (MIR) is 6-in-1 million, with chromium (VI) compounds
from process vents as the major contributor to the risk. The total
estimated cancer incidence from this source category is 0.002 excess
cancer cases per year, or one excess case in every 500 years.
Approximately 3,700 people are estimated to have cancer risks greater
than or equal to 1-in-1 million from HAP emitted from the affected
sources in this source category. The estimated maximum chronic
noncancer TOSHI for the source category is 0.4 (respiratory), driven by
emissions of acrylic acid from process vents. No one is exposed to
TOSHI levels greater than 1 due to emissions from this source category.
The results of the inhalation risk modeling using whole facility
emissions data, as shown in Table 3 of this preamble, indicate that the
estimated MIR is 20-in-1 million with emissions of hydrazine from
sources subject to other standards driving the risk. These include 40
CFR part 63 subparts FFFF (Miscellaneous Organic Chemicals
Manufacturing NESHAP), H (Hazardous Organic NESHAP), and EEEE (Organic
Liquids Distribution), which are not part of this source category. The
total estimated whole facility cancer incidence is 0.006 excess cancer
cases per year. Approximately 50,100 people are estimated to have
cancer risks greater than or equal to 1-in-1 million. The estimated
maximum chronic noncancer TOSHI is 2 (for the neurological target
organ), driven by emissions of hydrogen cyanide from non-MCM source
category emissions from carbon fiber production. Approximately 80
people are estimated to be exposed to noncancer hazard index (HI)
levels greater than 1.
As shown in Table 3 of this preamble, for source category
emissions, the highest acute HQ based on the reasonable worst-case
scenario is 2, based on the REL for glycol ethers. This is the highest
HQ that is outside facility boundaries. One facility is estimated to
have an HQ greater than 1 based on the REL, which is the only available
benchmark for glycol ethers.
Potential multipathway health risks under a fisher and farmer/
gardener scenario were identified using a three-tier screening
assessment of the HAP known to be persistent and bio-
[[Page 49731]]
accumulative in the environment (PB-HAP) emitted by facilities in this
source category. For carcinogenic PB-HAP, one facility emits arsenic
compounds, while two facilities emit polycyclic organic matter (POM).
None of these emissions exceed a Tier 1 cancer screening value for
arsenic or POM. For noncarcinogenic PB-HAP, one facility emits cadmium
compounds and one facility emits mercury compounds. None of these
emissions exceed a Tier 1 noncancer screening value for cadmium or
mercury. Further analyses (i.e., Tier 2 or 3 screens) were not
performed. For lead compounds, we did not estimate any exceedances of
the lead National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
A screening-level evaluation of the potential adverse environmental
risk associated with emissions of the PB-HAP listed above, plus acid
gases (hydrogen chloride is the only reported acid gas), indicated that
no ecological benchmarks were exceeded. For lead compounds, we did not
estimate any exceedances of the secondary lead NAAQS.
We weighed all health risk factors, including those shown in Table
2 of this preamble, in our risk acceptability determination and
proposed that the residual risks from the MCM source category are
acceptable (section IV.B.1 of the proposal preamble, 84 FR 46625,
September 4, 2019).
We then considered whether 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, provides
an ample margin of safety to protect public health and prevents, taking
into consideration costs, energy, safety, and other relevant factors,
an adverse environmental effect. In considering whether the standards
should be tightened to provide an ample margin of safety to protect
public health, we considered the same risk factors that we considered
for our acceptability determination and also considered the costs,
technological feasibility, and other relevant factors related to
emissions control options that might reduce risk associated with
emissions from the source category. Related to risk, the baseline risks
were low, and regardless of the availability of further control
options, little risk reduction could be realized. As discussed further
in section IV.B of this preamble, the only developments identified in
the technology review were control options for inorganic HAP and
organic HAP from process vessels. Because the baseline risks are being
driven by inorganic HAP from process vessels, we evaluated a control
option for inorganic HAP emissions from process vessels located at MCM
facilities that would be similar to those included in 40 CFR part 63,
subpart CCCCCCC, the NESHAP for Area Sources for Paints and Allied
Products Manufacturing. Additionally, we evaluated increasing the
control efficiency requirements for organic HAP emissions from process
vessels. The process vessel options did not result in a decrease to the
MIR or to the maximum chronic noncancer TOSHI because the MIR facility
already had controls in place. However, there was a reduction seen in
the population exposed to a cancer risk of 1-in-1 million from 3,700 to
1,900 due to emissions reductions at other facilities. But, as
described in section IV.C of the proposal preamble (84 FR 46626,
September 4, 2019), we determined that these options were not cost
effective. Therefore, given the low baseline risks and lack of options
for further risk reductions, we proposed that additional emission
controls for this source category are not necessary to provide an ample
margin of safety (see section IV.B.2 of the proposal preamble, 84 FR
46626, September 4, 2019).
2. How did the risk review change for the MCM Source Category?
We have not changed any aspect of the risk assessment for the MCM
source category as a result of public comments received on the
September 4, 2019, proposal.
3. What key comments did we receive on the risk review, and what are
our responses?
We received comments in support of and against the proposed
residual risk review and our determination is that no revisions were
warranted under CAA section 112(f)(2) for the source category.
Generally, the comments that were not supportive of the determination
from the risk reviews suggested changes to the underlying risk
assessment methodology. For example, one commenter stated that the EPA
should lower the acceptability benchmark so that risks below 100-in-1
million are unacceptable, include emissions outside of the source
category assessed, and assume that pollutants with noncancer health
risks have no safe level of exposure. After review of all the comments
received, we determined that no changes are needed to the risk
assessment. The comments and our specific responses can be found in the
document, Summary of Public Comments and Responses for Risk and
Technology Review for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing, available in
the docket for this rulemaking.
4. What is the rationale for our final approach and final decisions for
the risk review?
As noted in our proposal, the EPA sets standards under CAA section
112(f)(2) using ``a two-step standard-setting approach, with an
analytical first step to determine an `acceptable risk' that considers
all health information, including risk estimation uncertainty, and
includes a presumptive limit on the maximum individual risk (MIR) of
approximately 1-in-10 thousand'' (see 54 FR 38045, September 14, 1989).
We weigh all health risk factors in our risk acceptability
determination, including the cancer MIR, cancer incidence, the maximum
cancer TOSHI, the maximum acute noncancer HQ, the extent of noncancer
risks, the distribution of cancer and noncancer risks in the exposed
population, and the risk estimation uncertainties.
Since proposal, neither the risk assessment nor our determinations
regarding risk acceptability, ample margin of safety, or adverse
environmental effects have changed. For the reasons explained in the
proposed rule, we determined that the risks from the MCM source
category are acceptable, the current standards provide an ample margin
of safety to protect public health, and more stringent standards are
not necessary to prevent an adverse environmental effect. Therefore, we
are not revising this subpart to require additional controls pursuant
to CAA section 112(f)(2) based on the residual risk review, and we are
readopting the existing standards under CAA section 112(f)(2).
B. Technology Review for the MCM Source Category
1. What did we propose pursuant to CAA section 112(d)(6) for the MCM
source category?
Sources of HAP emissions regulated by the MCM NESHAP are process
vessels, storage tanks, transfer racks, equipment leaks, wastewater
streams, and heat exchange systems. MCM processes occur as batch
operations, which involve intermittent or discontinuous feed of raw
materials into equipment, and generally involve emptying of the
equipment after the operation ceases and prior to beginning a new
operation.
For process vessels, we evaluated two options that could be
potentially considered technology developments under CAA section
112(d)(6). In the first option, we considered increasing the control
efficiency requirement for process vessels at existing sources to
[[Page 49732]]
match the control requirement for new sources, which would increase the
control efficiency for organic HAP with a vapor pressure equal to or
greater than 0.6 kilopascals from 75 percent to 95 percent. We consider
this option to be a new development because several facilities have
controlled all process vessels with thermal oxidizers to comply with
the NESHAP.
We estimated the costs of installing a thermal oxidizer on the six
plants in the MCM source category that currently do not have a thermal
oxidizer installed on process vessels. The costs were estimated using
the EPA Air Pollution Control Cost Manual cost spreadsheet for thermal
oxidizers \3\ and the process vent flow rate from the National
Emissions Inventory (NEI) or the facility operating permit. The
estimated cost effectiveness for these facilities ranged from $20,000
per ton HAP removed to $150,000 per ton HAP removed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ https://www.epa.gov/economic-and-cost-analysis-air-pollution-regulations/cost-reports-and-guidance-air-pollution.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second option for process vessels that we considered was to
require controls to limit particulate matter (PM) HAP emissions when
dry materials (e.g., pigments) containing inorganic HAP are added to
the process vessel. We considered provisions that would be similar to
those included in 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCCCC, the NESHAP for Area
Sources for Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing. This option would
reflect the fact that several facilities subject to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, have process vessels controlled with fabric filters when
dry materials are being added.
We estimated costs for both a fabric filter baghouse and a
cartridge filter type of particulate control with a flow rate of 1,000
cubic feet per minute, plus 150 feet of flexible duct to capture the
fugitive PM when dry matter is being added to the mixing vessel. The
estimated cost effectiveness for this option ranged from $310,000 to
$2,100,000 per ton of particulate HAP reduced. We also evaluated
whether pigments could be added in a wetted or paste form, but not all
pigments are available or can be used in wetted or paste form.
The EPA did not find the control technology development options
considered for process vessels in this technology review to be cost
effective or, in some cases, technologically feasible. Consequently,
the EPA proposed that it is not necessary to amend the standards for
process vessels under the technology review.
The MCM NESHAP requires existing sources to comply with the
equipment leaks provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart R, NESHAP for
Gasoline Distribution Facilities (Bulk Gasoline Terminals and Pipeline
Breakout Stations); subpart TT, NESHAP for Equipment Leaks, Control
Level 1; or subpart UU, NESHAP for Equipment Leaks, Control Level 2.
New sources must comply with the provisions of subpart UU or TT. Based
on developments in other similar source categories, we identified as a
technology alternative to the current standard a more stringent
provision for existing sources that would eliminate sensory monitoring
and require instrument monitoring with lower leak definitions than
specified in 40 CFR part 63, subpart TT. For this alternative, we
estimated the incremental emission reductions and cost effectiveness of
employing instrument monitoring (EPA Method 21) with an equipment leak
defined as instrument readings of 500 parts per million by volume
(ppmv) for valves, 2,000 ppmv for pumps, and 500 ppmv for connectors.
We estimated the costs of requiring instrument monitoring with more
stringent leak definitions for four model plants with 25, 50, 100, or
200 process vessels. The estimated cost effectiveness for these model
plants ranged from $107,000 per ton HAP removed to $22,000 per ton HAP
removed for the smallest to largest model plant, and these values are
higher than organic HAP cost-effectiveness values that we historically
have considered reasonable. The EPA did not find the leak detection
instrument monitoring option that was evaluated to be cost effective.
Consequently, the EPA proposed that it was not necessary to amend the
standards for equipment leaks under the technology review.
The MCM NESHAP regulates wastewater streams that contain total
partially soluble and soluble HAP at an annual average concentration
greater than or equal to 4,000 ppmw and load greater than or equal to
750 lb/yr at existing sources, or that contain greater than or equal to
1,600 ppmw and any partially soluble and soluble HAP load at new
sources. Wastewater tanks used to store regulated wastewater streams
must have a fixed roof, which may have openings necessary for proper
venting of the tank, such as a pressure/vacuum vent or j-pipe vent.
Regulated wastewater streams must be conveyed using hard piping and
treated as a hazardous waste in accordance with 40 CFR part 264, 265,
or 266 either on-site or off-site. Alternatively, if the wastewater
contains less than 50 ppmw of partially soluble HAP, it may be treated
in an enhanced biological treatment system that is located either on-
site or off-site.
Because our technology review identified no developments in
practices, processes, or controls for reducing wastewater emissions at
MCM facilities, we evaluated developments in other industries with
wastewater streams that contain organic HAP. We reviewed three options
that were considered in other industry technology reviews for their
applicability to the MCM wastewater streams. These options were:
(1) Requiring wastewater drain and tank controls at facilities.
(2) Requiring specific performance parameters (minimum fraction
biodegraded, fbio) for an enhanced biological unit beyond
those required in the Benzene NESHAP.
(3) Requiring wastewater streams with a volatile organic compound
(VOC) content of 750 ppmw or higher to be treated by steam stripping
prior to any other treatment process for facilities with high organic
loading rates (i.e., facilities with total annualized benzene quantity
of 10 megagrams per year or more).
The EPA did not find any of the three wastewater stream control
options evaluated to be cost effective. Consequently, the EPA proposed
that it was not necessary to amend the standards for wastewater streams
under the technology review.
The EPA did not identify in our technology review any developments
in practices, processes, and control technologies for storage tanks,
transfer operations (i.e., bulk loading) of coating products, or heat
exchange systems that were not already considered in the development of
the original MACT.
Further explanation of the assumptions and methodologies for all
options evaluated are provided in the memorandum, Clean Air Act Section
112(d)(6) Technology Review for the Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
Source Category, available in the docket to this action.
2. How did the technology review change for the MCM source category?
We are making no changes to the conclusions of the technology
review and are finalizing the results of the technology review for the
MCM source category as proposed.
3. What key comments did we receive on the technology review, and what
are our responses?
Comment: Some of the commenters supported the EPA's proposed
[[Page 49733]]
determination that no changes to the MCM NESHAP were needed based on
the technology review.
However, one commenter argued that the standard should be
strengthened to reduce HAP emissions. The commenter argued that the EPA
should establish a standard of zero allowed leaks to prohibit all
uncontrolled releases, or to establish more stringent standards based
on the latest advancements in LDAR. The commenter also argued that the
EPA should establish more stringent standards for HAP metals based on
the use of fabric filters when dry materials are added to process
vessels, as in the Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing rule for
area sources. Finally, the commenter argued that the EPA should
establish standards for storage vessels based on internal floating
roofs (IFR) or the use of closed vent systems and recovery or
destruction devices. The commenter argued that CAA section 112(d)(6)
does not allow the EPA to use cost as a factor in deciding whether more
stringent standards should be adopted.
Response: In this technology review, we specifically looked for
developments in practices, processes, and controls, including
improvements in previously considered control technologies, and
concluded there were no cost-effective developments applicable to this
source category. The comment suggesting additional or more stringent
controls be imposed has not provided data to support a revision to the
proposed technology review; for this reason, we are adopting no changes
to the NESHAP under the technology review.
With respect to the role of cost in our decisions under the
technology review, we note that courts have not required the EPA to
demonstrate that a technology is ``cost-prohibitive'' in order not to
require adopting a new technology under CAA section 112(d)(6); a simple
finding that a control is not cost effective is enough. See Association
of Battery Recyclers, et al. v. EPA, et al., 716 F.3d 667, 673-74 (D.C.
Cir. 2015) (approving the EPA's consideration of cost as a factor in
its 42 U.S.C. 7412(d)(6) decision-making and the EPA's reliance on cost
effectiveness as a factor in its standard-setting).
The option to require controls to limit PM HAP emissions from
process vessels in which dry materials containing inorganic HAP are
added to the process vessel was considered during the proposal for this
rule. As stated in the MCM technology review memorandum, Clean Air Act
Section 112(d)(6) Technology Review for Process Vessels, Storage Tanks,
Equipment Leaks, Wastewater Streams, Transfer Operations, and Heat
Exchange Systems Located in the Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
Source Category (Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0747-0033), we
reviewed the permits for the 12 facilities subject to 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH, for which the 2014 NEI included emissions of particulate
HAP and found that the permits for all but one of the facilities
confirmed that some type of particulate control was already fitted on
the process vessels. These controls included baghouse fabric filters,
cartridge filters, and wet scrubbers, and we proposed that it was not
cost effective to require any additional PM controls.
Also, as described in the MCM technology review memorandum, we
evaluated installing an IFR, external floating roof, closed vent system
to an emission control device, vapor balancing, and considered maximum
total vapor pressure thresholds; however, we did not identify any
control technology development options for storage tanks to be cost
effective.
Finally, in the MCM technology review memorandum, we concluded that
more stringent leak definitions for pumps, valves, and connectors using
EPA Method 21 equipment leak monitoring were not cost effective for
this source category.
4. What is the rationale for our final approach for the technology
review?
For the reasons explained in the preamble to the proposed rule (84
FR 46626, September 4, 2019) and in the comment responses above in
section IV.B.3 of this preamble, and the response to comment document,
we are making no changes and are finalizing the results of the
technology review as proposed.
C. SSM Provisions
1. What did we propose?
In the September 4, 2019, action, we proposed amendments to the MCM
NESHAP to remove and revise provisions related to SSM that are not
consistent with the requirement that the standards apply at all times.
More information concerning the elimination of SSM provisions is in the
preamble to the proposed rule (84 FR 46629, September 4, 2019).
We proposed amendments to account for instances where 40 CFR part
63, subpart HHHHH, cross-references other subparts that contain SSM
provisions. We proposed 40 CFR 63.8000(f) that lists the referenced
provisions, including individual paragraphs or phrases, in subparts SS,
TT, and UU of 40 CFR part 63 that contain references to SSM periods
that will no longer apply after the compliance date for the final
amendments as a result of the final SSM revisions.
Because we proposed to remove the SSM provisions and require
compliance at all times, we proposed to amend 40 CFR 63.8000(c) to
account for bypass periods in determining compliance with the emission
percent reduction provisions in Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, for process vessels. These amendments apply to process vessels
with closed vent systems and add-on controls that contain bypass lines
that could divert a vent stream to the atmosphere. We proposed that
owners or operators must measure and record during each semiannual
compliance period the hours that the control device was bypassed and
the source's total operating hours. They must then use the overall
control efficiency required in Table 1, the total operating hours, and
the control efficiency of the control device to determine the allowable
bypass hours during the semiannual compliance period using proposed
Equation 1 in 40 CFR 63.8005(h). These changes are required because SSM
periods that may involve bypassing of the control device cannot be
excluded and must now be included in determining compliance.
Because we proposed to remove the SSM provisions and require
compliance at all times, we proposed to revise 40 CFR 63.8000(b)(2) so
that opening of a safety device to avoid unsafe conditions is
considered a deviation, unless it is a bypass of a control for a
process vessel and accounted for as specified in 40 CFR 63.8005(h). We
also proposed to revise 40 CFR 63.8080(c), which is the provision to
keep a record of each time a safety device is opened, to add additional
recordkeeping provisions consistent with those for other deviations. As
a result of these proposed changes, the opening of a safety device
would be considered a deviation from the emission limits for sources
using closed vent systems and add-on control devices to comply with the
emission limitations in 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH, unless it is a
bypass of a control for a process vessel and accounted for as specified
in 40 CFR 63.8005(h). In the event a safety device is opened, the
owners or operators would be required to comply with the general duty
provision in 40 CFR 63.8000(a) to minimize emissions at all times and
to report and record information related to deviations as specified in
40 CFR 63.8075 and 63.8080, respectively, unless it is a bypass of a
control for a process vessel
[[Page 49734]]
and accounted for as specified in 40 CFR 63.8005(h).
2. What changed since proposal?
We are finalizing the SSM provisions as proposed with no changes
(84 FR 46629, September 4, 2019).
We are also revising the bypass provisions to allow the use of
bypass valve or damper position indicators to determine the time and
duration of possible bypasses as an alternative to the proposed
requirement to use a flow indicator. In the final rule, we are
providing the following options to comply with the bypass monitoring
requirements: (1) Use a flow indicator that provides a continuous
reading of flow and no flow, (2) use valve position indicator or bypass
damper indicator that provides a continuous reading of damper position,
or (3) secure the bypass line valve in the non-diverting position with
a car-seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. For flow indicators,
facilities will have to perform a flow meter verification check
annually. The annual verification check must be performed for at least
two points, one at the instrument's zero and the other at the
instrument's span. For valve position indicators, facilities must
ensure that any bypass line valve or damper is in the closed position
through continuous monitoring of valve position when the control device
is in operation. The monitoring system must be inspected semiannually
to verify that the monitor will accurately indicate valve position. For
car-seal or lock-and-key type configurations, facilities must ensure
that any seal or closure mechanism is maintained in the non-diverting
position and the vent stream is not diverted through a bypass line. The
visual inspections on the seal or closure mechanism must be completed
at least once every month.
We are finalizing the provisions related to safety device openings
in 40 CFR 63.8000(b)(2) and 63.8080(c) as proposed with no changes (84
FR 46632, September 4, 2019).
We have corrected an error in the proposed amendatory language at
40 CFR 63.7995(e) (84 FR 46640). In the proposal, we indicated that
sources that began construction or reconstruction on or before the
publication of the final rule in the Federal Register are given 3 years
to comply with the provisions listed in 40 CFR 63.7995(e)(1) through
(5). That was incorrect and the text should have indicated that those
that began construction or reconstruction on or before the proposal
publication date of September 4, 2019, have 3 years to comply with the
provisions listed in 40 CFR 63.7995(e)(1) to (5).
3. What key comments did we receive and what are our responses?
Comment: One commenter requested specific SSM provisions for PRDs,
flares, and maintenance venting. The commenter requested that the
opening of a safety device be allowed if it is a PRD meeting the
requirements in 40 CFR part 63, subpart TT (40 CFR 63.1010 or 63.1011)
or UU (40 CFR 63.1029 or 63.1030), and suggested certain work practices
are followed that were specified by the commenter. The commenter also
requested that certain types of safety devices and PRDs be exempt from
the requirements for safety devices.
The commenter requested that the definition of ``process vessel
vent'' be revised to exclude ``maintenance vents after the equipment
has been washed or purged in accordance with site maintenance practices
to minimize, to the extent possible, emissions of HAP.'' The commenter
also suggested as a second option, if the EPA decides to regulate HAP
emissions from maintenance activities associated with process vessel
vents, that the EPA should add work practice standards in place of
emission limitations, consistent with the language in the Petroleum
Refinery MACT, 40 CFR 63.643(c), and the proposed changes to the
Ethylene Production MACT, 40 CFR 63.1103(e)(5).
The commenter requested that, consistent with the Column 3 note on
40 CFR 63.6(h)(2) through (9) in Table 10 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH, the EPA should clarify the ``Yes'' language on 40 CFR 63.6(h)(1)
by adding the italicized language as follows: ``Yes, before the
compliance date specified in Sec. 63.7995(e), specifically for flares
subject to Method 22 observations that are required as part of a
compliance assessment. No, on or after the compliance date specified in
Sec. 63.7995(e).''
Response: We are making none of the suggested changes because they
are not necessary. There is a low likelihood of PRDs or flares being
used in this source category because operations are conducted at
ambient conditions (i.e., process overpressures are less likely because
operations are conducted at lower temperature and pressures) and
facilities typically comply with the standards using thermal oxidizers
or condensers. Additionally, the bypass provisions apply to all SSM
events, including events associated with maintenance venting, and no
examples were provided to the EPA to support adding provisions for
maintenance venting in the MCM source category.
4. What is the rationale for our final approach for the SSM provisions?
We evaluated all comments on the EPA's proposed amendments to the
SSM provisions. For the reasons explained in the proposed rule, we
determined that these amendments to the SSM provisions for the MCM
NESHAP remove and revise provisions related to SSM that are not
consistent with the requirement that the standards apply at all times.
More information concerning the amendments we are finalizing for SSM
provisions is in the preamble to the proposed rule (84 FR 46629,
September 4, 2019). Therefore, we are finalizing our approach for the
SSM provisions as proposed.
D. Electronic Reporting Provisions
1. What did we propose?
In the September 4, 2019, document, we proposed to require owners
or operators of MCM sources to submit electronic copies of
notifications, reports, and performance tests through the EPA's CDX,
using the CEDRI. These include the initial notifications required in 40
CFR 63.9(b) and 63.8070(b), the NOCS required in 40 CFR 63.9(h) and
63.8075(d), the performance test report required in 40 CFR 63.8075(f),
the performance evaluation report required in 40 CFR 63.8075(g), and
the semiannual reports required in 40 CFR 63.8075(b) and (c). A
description of the electronic submission process is provided in the
memorandum, Electronic Reporting Requirements for New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Rules, August 8, 2018, available in
the docket for this rulemaking. The proposed rule requirements would
replace the current rule requirements to submit the notifications and
reports to the Administrator at the appropriate address listed in 40
CFR 63.13. The proposed rule requirement would not affect submittals
required by state air agencies. The proposed compliance schedule
language in 40 CFR 63.8075(h) for submission of initial compliance
reports, NOCS reports, and compliance reports would have provided 3
years after the final rule is published to begin electronic reporting.
2. What changed since proposal?
We are finalizing the electronic reporting provisions as proposed
with no changes (84 FR 46632, September 4, 2019).
We are revising the proposed electronic reporting template to
incorporate changes identified in the
[[Page 49735]]
public comments and described completely in the Summary of Public
Comments and Responses for Risk and Technology Review for Miscellaneous
Coating Manufacturing, available in the docket for this rulemaking.
3. What key comments did we receive and what are our responses?
Comment: The EPA received comments that identified several
corrections and additions to the draft CEDRI template and described
them in detail in their comment letter. These changes to the draft
CEDRI template are described completely in the Summary of Public
Comments and Responses for Risk and Technology Review for Miscellaneous
Coating Manufacturing, available in the docket for this rulemaking.
Response: The EPA has evaluated these comments and has made the
appropriate corrections to the CEDRI template as described in Summary
of Public Comments and Responses for Risk and Technology Review for
Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing, available in the docket for this
rulemaking.
4. What is the rationale for our final approach for the electronic
reporting provisions?
For the reasons explained in the preamble to the proposed rules (84
FR 46632, September 4, 2019), and in the comment responses above in
section IV.D.3 of this preamble, and in the response to comment
document, we are finalizing the electronic reporting provisions for the
MCM NESHAP, as proposed. We are revising the CEDRI reporting template
as appropriate to incorporate the corrections and additions identified
in the public comments.
E. Other Technical Amendments
1. What did we propose?
The EPA proposed to amend 40 CFR 63.8055(b)(4) to remove reference
to paragraph (d)(4) of the OSHA's Hazard Communication standard, which
dealt with OSHA-defined carcinogens. We proposed to replace these
references to carcinogens in 29 CFR 1910.1200(d)(4) with a list (in
proposed new Table 11 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH) of those
organic HAP that must be included in calculating total organic HAP
content of a coating material if they are present at 0.1 percent or
greater by mass. We also proposed additional technical and editorial
corrections that were listed in Table 4 of the proposal preamble.
2. What changed since proposal?
We are finalizing the technical amendments as proposed with no
changes (84 FR 46633, September 4, 2019).
3. What key comments did we receive and what are our responses?
We received comments supporting the addition of Table 11 to 40 CFR
part 63, subpart HHHHH. We also received comments indicating several
additional technical and editorial corrections that are detailed in the
Summary of Public Comments and Responses for Risk and Technology Review
for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing, available in the docket for
this rulemaking.
4. What is the rationale for our final approach for the other technical
amendments?
For the reasons explained in the preamble to the proposed rules (84
FR 46633, September 4, 2019), in the comment responses above in section
IV.E.3 of this preamble, and in the response to comment document, we
are finalizing the other technical amendments for the MCM NESHAP, as
proposed. The proposed technical amendments, to include the new Table
11, are being finalized in this action. The editorial corrections
proposed in Table 4 of the proposal preamble are being finalized, with
edits based on responses from commenters. These edits are shown in
Table 2 of this preamble.
F. Ongoing Emissions Compliance Demonstrations
1. What did we propose?
We proposed to require owners or operators of facilities complying
with the standards using a closed vent system and add-on controls to
control emissions to perform periodic testing to confirm the
performance of the add-on control device. We proposed to require owners
or operators that are not already on a 5-year testing schedule to
conduct the first of the periodic performance tests within 3 years of
the effective date of the revised standards. Afterward, the owners or
operators would conduct periodic testing before they renew their
operating permits, but no longer than 5 years following the previous
performance test. Additionally, owners or operators of facilities that
have already tested as a condition of their permit within the last 2
years before the effective date would be permitted to maintain their
current 5-year schedule and not be required to move up the date of the
next test to the 3-year date specified above.
2. What changed since proposal?
We are finalizing the periodic performance testing and ongoing
compliance demonstration provisions as proposed with no changes (84 FR
46634, September 4, 2019).
3. What key comments did we receive and what are our responses?
Comment: The EPA received comments that performance testing should
not be required except when the facility has a change in operations, or
where the change is not considered to be within the previously
established worst-case conditions as specified in 40 CFR
63.8005(d)(1)(iv). The EPA also received comments that periodic
performance testing should only be required for thermal oxidizers and
should not be required for carbon adsorbers or for condensers, and that
the EPA should not eliminate design evaluations of small control
devices. See 40 CFR 63.8000(d)(2). The commenters argued that testing
small control devices is often impractical (for example, once-through
carbon adsorption) and needless where the performance (such as for
condensers) can be predicted with a high degree of certainty.
Response: We disagree that performance tests should only be
required when the facility has a change in operations. As explained in
the preamble to the proposed rule, periodic performance tests help
identify potential degradation of the add-on control device over time
and ensure the control device remains effective, reducing the potential
for acute emissions episodes or noncompliance. Also as explained in the
preamble to the proposed rule, many facilities using add-on controls to
demonstrate compliance with the NESHAP are currently required to
conduct performance tests every 5 years as a condition for renewing
their title V operating permit. The requirement to conduct testing
every 5 years also eliminates uncertainty of determining whether a
change in facility operations should trigger a new performance test.
Further, removing the design evaluation for small control devices will
not affect facilities using condensers because they may still comply by
meeting the condenser outlet temperature requirements specified in
Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH. We do not expect many
facilities to be controlling with carbon adsorbers, and, therefore, we
are not exempting carbon adsorbers from these requirements.
The comments and responses on the proposed performance testing
requirements are detailed in the
[[Page 49736]]
Summary of Public Comments and Responses for Risk and Technology Review
for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing, available in the docket for
this rulemaking.
4. What is the rationale for our final approach for the ongoing
compliance demonstrations?
For the reasons explained in the preamble to the proposed rules (84
FR 46634, September 4, 2019) and in the comment responses above in
section IV.F.3 of this preamble and the response to comment document,
we are finalizing the periodic testing provisions for the MCM NESHAP,
as proposed.
V. Summary of Cost, Environmental, and Economic Impacts and Additional
Analyses Conducted
A. What are the affected sources?
Currently, 43 major sources subject to the MCM NESHAP are operating
in the United States. The affected source under the NESHAP is the
facility-wide collection of equipment used to manufacture coatings and
includes all process vessels; storage tanks for feedstocks and
products; components such as pumps, compressors, agitators, pressure
relief devices, sampling connection systems, open-ended valves or
lines, valves, connectors, and instrumentation systems; wastewater
tanks; transfer racks; and cleaning operations. A coating is defined as
material such as paint, ink, or adhesive that is intended to be applied
to a substrate and consists of a mixture of resins, pigments, solvents,
and/or other additives, where the material is produced by a
manufacturing operation where materials are blended, mixed, diluted, or
otherwise formulated.
B. What are the air quality impacts?
At the current level of control, estimated emissions of volatile
organic HAP from the MCM source category are approximately 405 tpy.
The final amendments require that all 43 major sources in the MCM
source category comply with the relevant emission standards at all
times, including periods of SSM. We were unable to quantify the
emissions that occur during periods of SSM or the specific emissions
reductions that will occur as a result of this action. However,
eliminating the SSM exemption has the potential to reduce emissions by
requiring facilities to meet the applicable standard during SSM
periods.
Indirect or secondary air emissions impacts are impacts that will
result from the increased electricity usage associated with the
operation of control devices (e.g., increased secondary emissions of
criteria pollutants from power plants). Energy impacts consist of the
electricity and steam needed to operate control devices and other
equipment. The amendments will have no effect on the energy needs of
the affected facilities and will, therefore, have no indirect or
secondary air emissions impacts.
C. What are the cost impacts?
We estimate that to comply with the final amendments, each facility
in the MCM source category will experience increased reporting and
recordkeeping costs. The recordkeeping and reporting costs are
presented in section VI.C of this preamble. The costs include time to
read and understand the rule amendments. Costs associated with
elimination of the SSM exemptions were estimated as part of the
reporting and recordkeeping costs and include time for re-evaluating
previously developed SSM record systems. Costs associated with the
provision to electronically submit notifications and semi-annual
compliance reports using CEDRI were estimated as part of the reporting
and recordkeeping costs and include time for becoming familiar with
CEDRI and the reporting template for semi-annual compliance reports.
We are also finalizing a provision for performance testing no less
frequently than every 5 years for sources in the MCM source category
using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance. We estimate that 12 of
the facilities subject to the MCM NESHAP and using add-on control
devices will incur costs to conduct control device performance testing
because they are not required by their permits to conduct testing every
5 years. This total does not include facilities in the MCM source
category that have add-on controls and are currently required to
perform periodic performance testing as a condition of their state
operating permit. The cost for a facility to conduct a destruction or
removal efficiency performance test using EPA Method 25 or 25A is
estimated to be about $19,000. The total cost for all 12 facilities to
test their add-on control devices in a single year, plus one facility
completing a retest to account for 5 percent of control devices failing
to pass the first test, will be $247,000. The total annualized testing
cost, including retests, is approximately $57,000 per year at an
interest rate of 5.25 percent and an additional $6,000 in reporting
costs per facility in the year in which the test occurs for the MCM
source category. For further information on the potential costs, see
the cost tables in the memoranda, Estimated Costs/Impacts 40 CFR part
63 Subpart HHHHH Monitoring Review Revisions, May 2019, and the
Economic Impact and Small Business Screening Assessments for Proposed
Amendments to National Emission Standards for the Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing Facilities (Subpart
HHHHH), in the MCM Docket.
D. What are the economic impacts?
The economic impact analysis is designed to inform decision-makers
about the potential economic consequences of a regulatory action. For
the final rule, the EPA estimated the cost of becoming familiar with
the rule and re-evaluating previously developed SSM record systems and
performing periodic emissions testing at certain facilities with add-on
controls that are not already required to perform testing. To assess
the maximum potential impact, the largest cost expected to be
experienced in any 1 year is compared to the total sales for the
ultimate owner of the affected facilities to estimate the total burden
for each facility.
For the final revisions to the MCM NESHAP, the 2019 equivalent
annualized value (in 2018$) of the costs over the period 2020-2026 is
$66,000, assuming a 3-percent discount rate and $73,000 assuming a 7-
percent discount rate. The 43 affected facilities are owned by 27
different parent companies, and the total costs associated with the
final amendments range from 0.000005 to 0.025 percent of annual sales
revenue per ultimate owner. These costs are not expected to result in a
significant market impact, regardless of whether they are passed on to
the purchaser or absorbed by the firms.
The EPA also prepared a small business screening assessment to
determine whether any of the identified affected entities are small
entities, as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Two of
the facilities potentially affected by the final revisions to the MCM
NESHAP are small entities. However, the costs associated with the final
amendments for these two affected small entities range from 0.002 to
0.025 percent of annual sales revenues per ultimate owner. Therefore,
there are no significant economic impacts on a substantial number of
small entities from these final amendments.
More information and details of this analysis are provided in the
technical document titled Economic Impact and Small Business Screening
Assessments for Proposed Amendments to the National Emission Standards
for
[[Page 49737]]
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
(Subpart HHHHH), available in the MCM Docket.
E. What are the benefits?
As stated above in section V.B of this preamble, we were unable to
quantify the specific emissions reductions associated with eliminating
the SSM exemption.
Because these final amendments are not considered economically
significant, as defined by Executive Order 12866, we did not monetize
the benefits of reducing these emissions. This does not mean that there
are no benefits associated with the potential reduction in volatile
organic HAP from this rule.
F. What analysis of environmental justice did we conduct?
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes
Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
To examine the potential for any environmental justice issues that
might be associated with the source category, during the proposal, we
performed a demographic analysis, which is an assessment of risk to
individual demographic groups of the populations living within 5
kilometers (km) and within 50 km of the facilities. In the analysis, we
evaluated the distribution of HAP-related cancer and noncancer risk
from the MCM source category across different demographic groups within
the populations living near facilities.
The results of the demographic analysis are summarized in Table 4
of this preamble. These results, for various demographic groups, are
based on the estimated risk from actual emissions levels for the
population living within 50 km of the facilities. These results have
not changed since the proposal.

The results of the MCM source category demographic analysis
indicate that emissions from the source category expose approximately
3,700 people to a cancer risk at or above 1-in-1 million and zero
people to a chronic noncancer TOSHI greater than 1. The percentages of
the at-risk population in each demographic group (except for African
American, Below Poverty Level, Hispanic or Latino, and Above Poverty
Level) are similar to (within 5 percent of) their respective nationwide
percentages. The African American and Below Poverty Level demographic
groups are greater than their respective nationwide percentages, while
the Hispanic or Latino (includes White and nonwhite) and Above Poverty
Level are lower than their respective nationwide percentages.
The methodology and the results of the demographic analysis are
presented in a technical report, Risk and Technology Review--Analysis
of Demographic Factors for Populations Living Near Miscellaneous
Coating Manufacturing Facilities, available in the docket for this
rulemaking.
G. What analysis of children's environmental health did we conduct?
The EPA does not believe the environmental health or safety risks
addressed by this action present a disproportionate risk to children.
This action's health and risk assessments are summarized in section
IV.A of this preamble and are further documented in
[[Page 49738]]
the Residual Risk Assessment for the Miscellaneous Coating
Manufacturing Source Category in Support of the 2019 Risk and
Technology Review Proposed Rule, available in the docket for this
rulemaking.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Orders 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action and was,
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 not expected to be an Executive Order 13771
regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
The information collection activities in this final rule will be
submitted for approval to OMB under the PRA. The information collection
request (ICR) document that the EPA prepared has been assigned EPA ICR
number 2115.07. You can find a copy of the ICR in the MCM Docket
(Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0747), and it is briefly summarized
here.
The EPA is finalizing revisions to the SSM provisions of the rule,
requiring periodic testing of control devices, and requiring the use of
electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals,
notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHH.
Respondents/affected entities: Facilities manufacturing surface
coatings.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH).
Estimated number of respondents: In the 3 years after the
amendments are final, approximately 43 respondents per year will be
subject to the NESHAP and no additional respondents are expected to
become subject to the NESHAP during that period.
Frequency of response: The total number of responses in year 1 is
175, in year 2 is 46, and in year 3 is 85.
Total estimated burden: The average annual burden of the final
amendments to the 43 MCM facilities over the 3 years is estimated to be
565 hours (per year). The average annual burden to the Agency over the
3 years after the amendments are final is estimated to be 116 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: The average annual cost of the final rule
amendments to the MCM facilities is $65,000 in labor costs in the first
3 years after the amendments are final. The average annual capital and
operation and maintenance costs are $82,000. The total average annual
Agency cost of the proposed amendments over the first 3 years after the
amendments are final is estimated to be $5,500.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the
EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. When OMB
approves this ICR, the Agency will announce that approval in the
Federal Register and publish a technical amendment to 40 CFR part 9 to
display the OMB control number for the approved information collection
activities contained in this final rule.
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. The
Agency has determined that two of the facilities potentially affected
by the final revisions to the MCM NESHAP are small entities and may
experience an impact of 0.002 to 0.025 percent of annual sales revenues
per ultimate owner. Details of this analysis are presented in section
V.D of this preamble and additional detail is provided in the economic
impact memoranda associated with this action. 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 of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. While this action
creates an enforceable duty on the private sector, the cost does not
exceed $100 million or more.
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. No tribal facilities are known to be engaged in
any of the industries that will be affected by this action (MCM). Thus,
Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is
not economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866, and
because the EPA does not believe the environmental health or safety
risks addressed by this action present a disproportionate risk to
children. This action's health and risk assessments are contained in
sections III.A, III.C, and IV.A of this preamble and are further
documented in the Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing Risk Assessment
Report, in the MCM Docket.
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) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action involves technical standards. Therefore, the EPA
conducted searches for the MCM NESHAP through the Enhanced National
Standards Systems Network Database managed by the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI). We also contacted voluntary consensus
standards (VCS) organizations and accessed and searched their
databases. We conducted searches for EPA Methods 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D,
2F, 2G, 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 18, 21, 22, 24, 25, 25A, 25D, 26, 26A, and 29 of
40 CFR part 60, appendix A; 301, 305, 311, 316, and 320 of 40 CFR part
63, appendix A; 624, 625, 1624, 1625, 1666, and 1671 of 40 CFR part
136, appendix A; and 8260, 8260B (SW-846), 8270, Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods, EPA Publication SW-
846 third edition. During the EPA's
[[Page 49739]]
VCS search, if the title or abstract (if provided) of the VCS described
technical sampling and analytical procedures that are similar to the
EPA's reference method, the EPA ordered a copy of the standard and
reviewed it as a potential equivalent method. We reviewed all potential
standards to determine the practicality of the VCS for this rule. This
review requires significant method validation data that meet the
requirements of EPA Method 301 for accepting alternative methods or
scientific, engineering, and policy equivalence to procedures in the
EPA reference methods. The EPA may reconsider determinations of
impracticality when additional information is available for particular
VCS.
No applicable VCS were identified for EPA Methods 1A, 2A, 2D, 2F,
2G, 21, 22, 25D, 305, 316, 625, 1624, 1625, 1666, 1671, 8260, 8260B
(SW-846), and 8270. The following VCS were identified as acceptable
alternatives to the EPA test methods for the purpose of this rule.
The EPA is including in the final rule the VCS ANSI/ASME PTC 19-10-
1981 Part 10 (2010), ``Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses,'' as an
acceptable alternative to EPA Method 3B for the manual procedures only
and not the instrumental procedures. This method is used to quantify
the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration in exhaust from stationary
combustion sources, and is available at the American National Standards
Institute, 1899 L Street NW, 11th Floor, Washington, DC 20036 and the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Three Park Avenue, New
York, NY 10016-5990. See https://www.ansi.org and https://www.asme.org.
Additionally, the EPA is including in the final rule the VCS ASTM
D6420-18, ``Standard Test Method for Determination of Gaseous Organic
Compounds by Direct Interface Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry,''
as an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 18 with the following
caveats. This ASTM procedure employs a direct interface gas
chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GCMS) to identify and quantify the 36
volatile organic compounds (or sub-set of these compounds) listed in
the method, and has been approved by the EPA as an alternative to EPA
Method 18 only when the target compounds are all known and the target
compounds are all listed in ASTM D6420 as measurable. ASTM D6420-18
should not be used for methane and ethane because the atomic mass is
less than 35; and ASTM D6420 should never be specified as a total VOC
method.
The EPA is including in the final rule the VCS ASTM D2369-10(2015)
el, `` `Test Method for Volatile Content of Coatings;'' ASTM D2697-03
(2014), ``Standard Test Method for Volume Nonvolatile Matter in Clear
or Pigmented Coatings;'' and ASTM D3960-98, ``Standard Practice for
Determining VOC Content of Paints and Related Coatings,'' as acceptable
alternatives to EPA Method 24 for determining the weight-percent HAP
content of coatings, by determining the volatile matter or VOC content
of coatings and use that value as a substitute for the mass fraction of
HAP, for demonstrating compliance with the weight-percent HAP limit
alternative in 40 CFR 63.8055. ASTM D2369-10(2015) el is used for
calculating the weight percent volatile organic content in coatings and
the weight percent solids content. ASTM D2697-03 (2014) measures the
volume of dry coating solids in a given volume of liquid coating. ASTM
D3960-98 is used for determining the VOC content of paints and related
coatings and for calculating the VOC content expressed as the mass of
VOC: (1) Per unit volume of coating less water and exempt volatile
compounds, and (2) per unit volume of coating solids and (3) per unit
mass of coating solids.
In addition, the EPA is including in the final rule-the VCS ASTM
D6348-12e1, ``Determination of Gaseous Compounds by Extractive Direct
Interface Fourier Transform (FTIR) Spectroscopy,'' as an acceptable
alternative to EPA Method 320 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 63 with
caveats requiring inclusion of selected annexes to the standard as
mandatory. ASTM D6348-12e1 identifies and measures the concentration of
organic compounds in an exhaust stream. The test plan preparation and
implementation in the Annexes to ASTM D6348-12e1, Sections Al through
A8 are mandatory; and in ASTM D6348-12e1, Annex A5 (Analyte Spiking
Technique), the percent (%) R must be determined for each target
analyte (Equation A5.5). In order for the test data to be acceptable
for a compound, %R must be 70% >= R <= 130%. If the %R value does not
meet this criterion for a target compound, the test data is not
acceptable for that compound and the test must be repeated for that
analyte (i.e., the sampling and/or analytical procedure should be
adjusted before a retest). The %R value for each compound must be
reported in the test report, and all field measurements must be
corrected with the calculated %R value for that compound by using the
following equation:
Reported Results = (Measured Concentration in the Stack x 100)/% R.
The five ASTM methods (ASTM D2369-10(2015) el, ASTM D2697-03, ASTM
D3960-98, ASTM D6348-12e1, and ASTM D6420-18) are available at ASTM
International, 1850 M Street NW, Suite 1030, Washington, DC 20036. See
https://www.astm.org/.
The EPA is including in the final rule the VCS CARB Method 310,
``Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in Consumer
Products and Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) in Aerosol Coating
Products,'' as an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 311 for
determining the weight-percent HAP content of coatings, by determining
the mass fraction of volatile matter and use that value as a substitute
for the mass fraction of HAP, for demonstrating compliance with the
weight-percent HAP limit alternative in 40 CFR 63.8055. This method is
used to determine the weight percent of VOC in consumer products and
ROC in aerosol coating products and is available from the California
Air Resources Board (CARB), 1001 I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. See

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)
because it does not significantly affect the level of protection
provided to human health or the environment. The documentation for this
decision is contained in section V.F of this preamble and the technical
report, Risk and Technology Review--Analysis of Demographic Factors for
Populations Living Near Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing Facilities,
available in the docket for this rulemaking.

L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

The revisions and additions read as follows:
Sec. 63.8000 What are my general requirements for complying with this
subpart?
(a) Applicability. You must comply with paragraphs (a)(1) and (2)
of this section.
(1) Except as specified in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, you
must be in compliance with the emission limits and work practice
standards in Tables 1 through 5 to this subpart at all times, except
during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. You must meet the
requirements specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section. You
must meet the requirements specified in Sec. Sec. 63.8005 through
63.8030 (or the alternative means of compliance in Sec. 63.8050),
except as specified in paragraph (d) of this section. You must meet the
notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements specified in
Sec. Sec. 63.8070, 63.8075, and 63.8080.
(2) Beginning on the compliance dates specified in Sec.
63.7995(e), paragraph (a)(1) of this section no longer applies.
Instead, beginning no later than the compliance dates specified in
Sec. 63.7995(e), you must be in compliance with the emission limits
and work practice standards in Tables 1 through 5 to this subpart at
all times. You must meet the requirements specified in paragraphs (b)
and (c) of this section. You must meet the requirements specified in
Sec. Sec. 63.8005 through 63.8030 (or the alternative means of
compliance in Sec. 63.8050), except as specified in paragraph (d) of
this section. You must meet the notification, reporting, and
recordkeeping requirements specified in Sec. Sec. 63.8070, 63.8075,
and 63.8080.
(b) * * *
(2) You must comply with paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this
section.
(i) Except as specified in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this section,
opening of a safety device, as defined in Sec. 63.8105, is allowed at
any time conditions require it to avoid unsafe conditions.
(ii) Beginning on the compliance dates specified in Sec.
63.7995(e), paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this section no longer applies.
Instead, opening of a safety device, as defined in Sec. 63.8105, is
considered a deviation, as defined in Sec. 63.8105, unless it is a
bypass of a control for a process vessel and accounted for as specified
in Sec. 63.8005(h).
(c) * * *
(3) If you use a halogen reduction device to reduce hydrogen halide
and halogen HAP emissions that are generated by combusting halogenated
vent streams, you must meet the requirements of Sec. 63.994, except as
specified in paragraph (f) of this section, and the requirements
referenced therein. If you use a halogen reduction device before a
combustion device, you must determine the halogen atom emission rate
prior to the combustion device according to the procedures in Sec.
63.115(d)(2)(v).
(d) * * *
(1) Requirements for performance tests. The requirements specified
in paragraphs (d)(1)(i) through (vi) of this section apply instead of
or in addition to the requirements for performance testing of control
devices as specified in subpart SS of this part.
(i) Conduct gas molecular weight analysis using Method 3, 3A, or 3B
in appendix A to 40 CFR part 60. As an alternative to EPA Method 3B for
the manual procedures only and not the instrumental procedures, you may
use ANSI/ASME PTC 19-10-1981 Part 10 (incorporated by reference, see
Sec. 63.14) as an acceptable alternative.
* * * * *
(iii) As an alternative to using Method 18, Method 25/25A, or
Method 26/26A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, to comply with any of the
emission limits specified in Tables 1 through 6 to this subpart you may
use the alternatives specified in paragraph (d)(1)(iii)(A) or (B) of
this section.
(A) As an alternative to using Method 18, Method 25/25A, or Method
26/26A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, you may use Method 320 of
appendix A to this part. When using Method 320, you must follow the
analyte spiking procedures of section 13 of Method 320, unless you
demonstrate that the complete spiking procedure has been conducted at a
similar source. As an alternative to Method 320 of appendix A to this
part, you may use ASTM Method D6348-12e1 (incorporated by reference,
see Sec. 63.14), with the caveats that the test plan preparation and
implementation in the Annexes to ASTM Method D6348-12el, Sections Al
through A8 are mandatory; and in ASTM Method D6348-12e1 Annex A5
(Analyte Spiking Technique), the percent (%) R must be determined for
each target analyte (Equation A5.5). In order for the test data to be
acceptable for a compound, %R must be 70% >= R <= 130%. If the %R value
does not meet this criterion for a
[[Page 49742]]
target compound, the test data is not acceptable for that compound and
the test must be repeated for that analyte (i.e., the sampling and/or
analytical procedure should be adjusted before a retest). The %R value
for each compound must be reported in the test report, and all field
measurements must be corrected with the calculated %R value for that
compound by using the following equation:
Reported Results = (Measured Concentration in the Stack x 100)/% R.
(B) As an alternative to using EPA Method 18, you may also use ASTM
D6420-18 (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14), but only when
the target compounds are all known and the target compounds are all
listed in ASTM D6420-18 as measurable; ASTM D6420-18 should not be used
for methane and ethane; and ASTM D6420-18 may not be used as a total
VOC method.
* * * * *
(vi) You must conduct periodic performance tests and establish the
operating limits required by Sec. Sec. 63.8005(e), 63.8010(b)(1), and
63.8050(d)(3) within 5 years following the previous performance test.
You must conduct the initial or first periodic performance test before
August 14, 2023, unless you are already required to complete periodic
performance tests as a requirement of renewing your facility's
operating permit under 40 CFR part 70 or 71, and have conducted a
performance test on or after August 15, 2022. Thereafter you must
conduct a performance test no later than 5 years following the previous
performance test. Operating limits must be confirmed or reestablished
during each performance test.
(2) [Reserved]
(3) Periodic verification. For a control device with total inlet
HAP emissions less than 1 ton per year (tpy), you must establish at
least one operating limit for a parameter that you will measure and
record at least once per averaging period (i.e., daily or block) to
verify that the control device is operating properly. You may elect to
measure the same parameter that is required for control devices that
control inlet HAP emissions equal to or greater than 1 tpy. If the
parameter will not be measured continuously, you must request approval
of your proposed procedure in the precompliance report. You must
identify the operating limit or range and the measurement frequency,
and you must provide rationale to support how these measurements
demonstrate the control device is operating properly.
(4) * * *
(i) * * *
(A) If you wish to use a CEMS other than a Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) meeting the requirements of Performance
Specification 15 in appendix B to 40 CFR part 60 or a hydrogen chloride
(HCl) CEMS meeting the requirements of Performance Specification 18 in
appendix B to 40 CFR part 60 and Quality Assurance Procedure 6 in
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60 to measure hydrogen halide and halogen HAP
before we promulgate a Performance Specification for such CEMS, you
must prepare a monitoring plan and submit it for approval in accordance
with the procedures specified in Sec. 63.8.
* * * * *
(ii) * * *
(C) For CEMS meeting Performance Specification 8 used to monitor
performance of a noncombustion device, determine the predominant
organic HAP using either process knowledge or the screening procedures
of Method 18 in appendix A-6 to 40 CFR part 60 on the control device
inlet stream, calibrate the monitor on the predominant organic HAP, and
report the results as C1. Use Method 18, ASTM D6420-18
(incorporated by reference, see Sec. 63.14), or any approved
alternative as the reference method for the relative accuracy tests,
and report the results as C1.
* * * * *
(iv) The CEMS data must be reduced to operating day or operating
block averages computed using valid data, except monitoring data also
are sufficient to constitute a valid hour of data if measured values
are available for at least two of the 15-minute periods during an hour
when calibration, quality assurance, or maintenance activities are
being performed. An operating block is a period of time from the
beginning to end of batch operations in the manufacturing of a coating.
Operating block averages may be used only for process vessel data.
* * * * *
(8) Quality control program. Beginning no later than the compliance
dates specified in Sec. 63.7995(e), in lieu of the requirements
specified in Sec. 63.8(d)(3), you must keep the written quality
control program procedures required by Sec. 63.8(d)(2) on record for
the life of the affected source or until the affected source is no
longer subject to the provisions of this part, to be made available for
inspection, upon request, by the Administrator. If the performance
evaluation plan is revised, you shall keep previous (i.e., superseded)
versions of the performance evaluation plan on record to be made
available for inspection, upon request, by the Administrator, for a
period of 5 years after each revision to the plan. The program of
corrective action should be included in the plan required under Sec.
63.8(d)(2).
(e) General duty. Beginning no later than August 14, 2023, at all
times, you must operate and maintain any affected source, including
associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in
a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control
practices for minimizing emissions. The general duty to minimize
emissions does not require you to make any further efforts to reduce
emissions if levels required by the applicable standard have been
achieved. Determination of whether a source is operating in compliance
with operation and maintenance requirements will be based on
information available to the Administrator which may include, but is
not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance
procedures, review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection
of the source.
(f) Removal of startup, shutdown, and malfunction requirements.
Beginning on the compliance dates specified in Sec. 63.7995(e), the
referenced provisions specified in paragraphs (f)(1) through (22) of
this section do not apply when demonstrating compliance with this
subpart through referenced provisions of subparts SS, UU, and TT of

The revisions and additions read as follows:
Sec. 63.8005 What requirements apply to my process vessels?
(a) * * *
(2) For each control device used to comply with Table 1 to this
subpart, you must comply with subpart SS of this part as specified in
Sec. 63.8000(c), except as specified in Sec. 63.8000(d) and (f) and
paragraphs (b) through (g) of this section.
* * * * *
(d) * * *
(1) To demonstrate initial compliance with a percent reduction
emission limit in Table 1 to this subpart, you must conduct the
performance test or design evaluation under conditions as specified in
Sec. 63.7(e)(1), except as specified in paragraph (d)(5) of this
section, and except that the performance test or design evaluation must
be conducted under worst-case conditions. Also, the performance test
for a control device used to control emissions from process vessels
must be conducted according to Sec. 63.1257(b)(8), including the
submittal of a site-specific test plan for approval prior to testing.
The requirements in Sec. 63.997(e)(1)(i) and (iii) also do not apply
for performance tests conducted to determine compliance with the
emission limits for process vessels.
* * * * *
(5) Beginning on the compliance dates specified in Sec.
63.7995(e), Sec. 63.7(e)(1) no longer applies and performance tests
shall be conducted under such conditions as the Administrator specifies
to the owner or operator based on representative performance of the
affected source for the period being tested. Representative conditions
exclude periods of startup and shutdown unless specified by the
Administrator or an applicable subpart. The owner or operator may not
conduct performance tests during periods of malfunction. The owner or
operator must record the process information that is necessary to
document operating conditions during the test and include in such
record an explanation to support that such conditions represent normal
operation. Upon request, the owner or operator shall make available to
the Administrator such records as may be necessary to determine the
conditions of performance tests.
(e) Establishing operating limits. You must establish operating
limits under the conditions required for your initial compliance
demonstration and periodic performance tests, except you may elect to
establish operating limit(s) for conditions other than those under
which a performance test was conducted as specified in paragraph (e)(1)
of this section and, if applicable, paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
* * * * *
(2) If you elect to establish separate operating limits for
different emission episodes, you must maintain records as specified in
Sec. 63.8080(g) of each point at which you change from one operating
limit to another, even if the duration of the monitoring for an
operating limit is less than 15 minutes.
* * * * *
(g) Flow indicators. If flow to a control device could be
intermittent or bypassed, you must install, calibrate, and operate a
flow indicator at the inlet or outlet of the control device to identify
periods of no flow, or you must comply with the alternatives
requirements of paragraph (g)(1) or (2) of this section. Periods of no
flow may not be used in daily or block averages. You must perform a
flow meter verification check annually for at least two points: One at

(1) You must use a valve position or bypass damper position
indicator that provides a continuous reading and record of the bypass
valve or damper position when the control device is in operation. You
must inspect the monitoring system semiannually to verify that the
monitor will indicate valve position.
(2) You must secure the bypass line valve or bypass damper in the
non-diverting position with a car-seal or a lock-and-key type
configuration. You must visually inspect the seal or closure mechanism
at least once every month to ensure that the valve is maintained in the
non-diverting position and that the vent stream is not diverted through
the bypass line. You must also record the occurrence of all periods
when the seal or closure mechanism is broken, or the key for a lock-
and-key type lock has been checked out.
(h) Bypass. Beginning no later than the compliance date specified
in Sec. 63.7995(e), when determining compliance with the percent
emission reduction requirements in Table 1 to this subpart, you must
account for the time that the control device was bypassed. You must use
Equation 1 to this section to determine the allowable total hours of
bypass for each semi-annual compliance period. To demonstrate
compliance, the actual total hours of bypass must not exceed the
allowable total hours of bypass calculated by Equation 1 to this
section.
