Background A. Summary In a Federal Register notice published on May 29, 2020, the EPA provided public notice and solicited comment on the request under the CAA by Lyondell to operate MPGFs at its Channelview chemical plant in Houston, Texas (see 85 FR 32382). In that document, the EPA solicited comment on all aspects of the AMEL request, including the operating conditions specified in that document that are necessary to achieve a reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds and organic hazardous air pollutants at least equivalent to the reductions required under the applicable CAA section 111(h)(1) or 112(h)(1) standards. Lyondell requested the AMEL for MPGFs to be used at a new propylene oxide tertiary butyl alcohol (‘‘POTBA’’) unit at its Channelview chemical plant. According to Lyondell, the POTBA unit is subject to the new source performance standards (NSPS) and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for source categories identified in Table 1 below. These NSPS and NESHAP incorporate the flare design and operating requirements in the 40 CFR parts 60 and 63 General Provisions (i.e., 40 CFR 60.18(b) and 63.11(b)) into the individual subparts. Lyondell submitted an AMEL request to operate a flare with E:\FR\FM\24SEN1.SGM 24SEN1
