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, Sierra Club, and the Port Arthur Community Action Network dated February 20, 2018, requesting that the EPA object to the issuance of operating permit no. O1498, issued by TCEQ to the Premcor Valero Port Arthur Refinery in Jefferson County, Texas. The Petition claims the proposed permit fails to incorporate and assure compliance with Permit by Rule (‘‘PBR’’) requirements, including requirements in Premcor’s certified PBR registrations, and fails to include monitoring, testing, and recordkeeping provisions that assure compliance with applicable requirements in Premcor’s New Source Review (NSR) permits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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

    The EPA received the Petition from the Environmental Integrity 
Project, Sierra Club, and the Port Arthur Community Action Network

of operating permit no. O1498, issued by TCEQ to the Premcor Valero 
Port Arthur Refinery in Jefferson County, Texas. The Petition claims 
the proposed permit fails to incorporate and assure compliance with 
Permit by Rule (``PBR'') requirements, including requirements in 
Premcor's certified PBR registrations, and fails to include monitoring, 
testing, and recordkeeping provisions that assure compliance with 
applicable requirements in Premcor's New Source Review (NSR) permits.
    On November 30, 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.
