Abstract: Owners and operators of
wood furniture manufacturing facilities
are required to comply with reporting
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
and record keeping requirements for the
general provisions of 40 CFR part 63,
subpart A, as well as the applicable
specific standards in 40 CFR part 63
subpart JJ. This includes submitting
initial notifications, performance tests
and periodic reports and results, and
maintaining records of the occurrence
and duration of any startup, shutdown,
or malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These reports are used by
EPA to determine compliance with
these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Wood
furniture manufacturing facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJ).
Estimated number of respondents:
230 (total), consisting of 142 existing
major sources and 88 existing
incidental/area sources.
Frequency of response: Quarterly and
semi-annually.
Total estimated burden: 15,900 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,890,000 (per
year), which includes $12,900 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This is due to a
decrease in the number of respondents
subject to Subpart JJ. The estimated
number of respondents is based on a
review of affected facilities in EPA’s
Enforcement and Compliance History
Online (ECHO) database and reflects
consolidation within the industry. The
regulations have not changed
significantly over the past three years
and are not anticipated to change
significantly over the next three years.
The growth rate for this industry is very
low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden.
Since there are no significant changes in
the regulatory requirements and there is
no significant industry growth, there are
no changes in the capital/startup cost.
There is a decrease in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs due to a
decrease in the number of respondents
with these costs. Operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs have been
updated from year 2001 to year 2019
using the CEPCI Index.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Vinyl Chloride (40 CFR
part 61, subpart F) apply to existing
facilities and new facilities that produce
the following: (1) Ethylene dichloride
(EDC) by reaction of oxygen and
hydrogen chloride with ethylene; (2)
vinyl chloride (VC) by any process; and
(3) one or more polymers containing any
fraction of polymerized VC. Owners and
operators of affected facilities are
required to comply with the
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements of the General Provisions
(40 CFR part 61, subpart A), as well as
the specific requirements at 40 CFR part
61, subpart F. This includes submitting
initial notifications, performance tests,
and periodic reports. They are also
required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any
period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. These
notifications, reports, and records are
used by EPA to determine compliance
with the standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride
plants.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart F).
Estimated number of respondents: 16
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
quarterly, and occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 6,540 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,490,000 (per
year), which includes $720,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This situation is due
to two considerations: (1) The
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years; and
(2) the growth rate for this industry is
very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden.
The estimate of the number of
respondents is based on a review of data
from EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Program. Since there are no changes in
the regulatory requirements and there is
no significant industry growth, there are
also no changes in the capital/startup or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit
Program; Petitions for Objection to
State Operating Permit for Phillips 66
Company, Borger Refinery,
Hutchinson County, Texas
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final Order on Petition
for objection to Clean Air Act title V
operating permit.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Administrator signed an
Order dated September 22, 2021,
granting in part and denying in part a
Petition dated September 12, 2017 from
the Environmental Integrity Project and
Sierra Club. The Petition requested that
the EPA object to a Clean Air Act (CAA)
title V operating permit issued by the
Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) to Phillips 66 Company
(Phillips) for its Borger Refinery located
in Hutchinson County, Texas.
ADDRESSES: The EPA requests that you
contact the individual listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to
view copies of the final Order, the
Petition, and other supporting
information. Out of an abundance of
caution for members of the public and
our staff, the EPA Region 6 office is
currently closed to the public to reduce
the risk of transmitting COVID–19.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Aimee Wilson, EPA Region 6 Office, Air
Permits Section, (214) 665–7596,
wilson.aimee@epa.gov.
The CAA
affords EPA a 45-day period to review
and object to, as appropriate, operating
permits proposed by state permitting
authorities under title V of the CAA.
Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA authorizes
any person to petition the EPA
Administrator to object to a title V
operating permit within 60 days after
the expiration of the EPA’s 45-day
review period if the EPA has not
objected on its own initiative. Petitions
must be based only on objections to the
permit that were raised with reasonable
specificity during the public comment
period provided by the state, unless the
petitioner demonstrates that it was
impracticable to raise these issues
during the comment period or unless
the grounds for the issue arose after this
period.
The EPA received the Petition from
the Environmental Integrity Project and
Sierra Club dated September 12, 2017,
requesting that the EPA object to the
issuance of operating permit no. O1440,
issued by TCEQ to the Borger Refinery
in Hutchinson County, Texas. The
Petition claims the proposed permit
improperly incorporated a State-only
major source flexible permit, the
proposed permit failed to specify
monitoring sufficient to assure
compliance with permits by rule (PBRs),
flexible permit emission limits, and
monitoring during maintenance, startup,
and shutdown (MSS), the proposed
permit did not properly incorporate by
reference requirements from certified
PBRs, and the proposed permit does not
identify which emission units are
subject to requirements in a minor NSR
permit for MSS activities.
On September 22, 2021, the EPA
Administrator issued an Order granting
in part and denying in part the Petition.
The Order explains the basis for EPA’s
decision.
