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 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:16 Jan 19, 2022 Jkt 256001 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 Petitioners dated August 29, 2017, requesting that the EPA object to the issuance of operating permit no. O3764, issued by TCEQ to Kinder Morgan for its Galena Park Terminal in Harris County, Texas. The Petition claims the proposed permit failed to assure compliance with applicable requirements in Kinder Morgan’s Nonattainment New Source Review permit, failed to assure compliance with emission limits and operating requirements established by Permits by Rule (PBRs), failed to specify how Kinder Morgan should quantify emissions from various units to assure compliance with emission limits in the nonattainment permit, and failure to identify and incorporate certified PBR registrations as applicable requirements. On December 16, 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. Dated: January 12, 2022.

This report is available at https://www.epa.gov/grants/epasidentification-federal-financialassistance-infrastructure-programssubject-build and will be updated as additional information becomes available. Members of the public who are unable to access the EPA BABAA Report at https://www.epa.gov/grants/ epas-identification-federal-financialassistance-infrastructure-programssubject-build may request a copy of the most current version of the report from EPA’s Information Contact identified below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: EPA’s National Policy Training and Compliance Division (Attention: Suzanne Hersh) at EPA_Grants_Info@ epa.gov or (202) 564–3361. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent with the policy direction of Executive Order 14005: Ensuring the Future is Made in All of America By All of America’s Workers, Title IX of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA): Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) imposes new, governmentwide domestic content procurement preference requirements on all federally-funded infrastructure projects—whether or not funded through IIJA. Section 70913(a) of IIJA requires each agency covered by BABAA to submit a report to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congress that will be published in the Federal Register. As provided in section 70913(b) of IIJA this report must: (1) Identify all domestic content procurement preferences applicable to EPA’s Federal financial assistance programs for infrastructure. (2) Assess the applicability of domestic content procurement preference requirements in certain specified statutes of which section 603 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1388), section 1452(a)(4) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j–12(a)(4)) and section 5035 of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 3914) are applicable to EPA. (3) Assess the applicability of any other domestic content procurement preference requirement included in an appropriations Act or other Federal laws (including regulations) to an EPA Federal financial assistance program for infrastructure. (4) Provide details on any domestic content procurement preference requirement applicable to an EPA Federal financial assistance program for PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3107 infrastructure, including the purpose, scope, applicability, and any exceptions and waivers issued under the requirement. (5) Include a description of the type of infrastructure projects that receive funding under the program, including information relating to— (A) the number of entities that are participating in the program; (B) the amount of Federal funds that are made available for the program for each fiscal year; and (C) any other information EPA’s Administrator determines to be relevant. Section 70913(c) of IIJA requires that the report include a list of ‘‘Deficient Programs’’ which identifies EPA’s financial assistance programs for infrastructure (as defined in section 70912(5) of IIJA) for which a domestic content procurement preference requirement does not apply in a manner consistent with section 70914 of IIJA or is subject to a waiver of general applicability not limited to the use of specific products for use in a specific project. Section 70914 generally requires that all the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in projects receiving EPA financial assistance for infrastructure be produced in the United States unless EPA provides a waiver of the requirement or application of the requirement would be inconsistent with the United States’ obligations under international agreements. The EPA BABA Report available at https://www.epa.gov/grants/epasidentification-federal-financialassistance-infrastructure-programssubject-build meets the requirements of section 70913 but will be updated as additional information becomes available.
