Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Consistency Update for California
Document Number: E6-4204
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-03-23
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing to update a portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (``OCS'') Air Regulations. Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 miles of States' seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to remain consistent with the requirements of the corresponding onshore area (``COA''), as mandated by section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (``the Act''). The portion of the OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements for OCS sources by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (Ventura County APCD). The intended effect of approving the OCS requirements for the Ventura County APCD is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements onshore. The change to the existing requirements discussed below is proposed to be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations and is listed in the appendix to the OCS air regulations.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Mississippi Prevention of Significant Deterioration and New Source Review
Document Number: E6-4199
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-03-23
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Mississippi State Implementation Plan (SIP) to include changes made to Mississippi regulations entitled, ``Permit Regulations for the Construction and Operation of Air Emissions Equipment'' and ``Regulations for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality.'' The proposed revisions amend the State permitting rules in order to address changes to the federal New Source Review (NSR) regulations, which were promulgated by EPA on December 31, 2002 (67 FR 80186) and reconsidered with minor changes on November 7, 2003 (68 FR 63021) (collectively, these two final actions are called the ``2002 NSR Reform Rules''). EPA's 2002 NSR Reform Rules, proposed for inclusion in the Mississippi SIP, contain provisions for baseline emissions calculations, an actual- to-projected-actual methodology for calculating emissions changes, options for plant-wide applicability limits, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The proposed revisions also include changes made to the NSR program for minor stationary sources, including a new provision allowing construction to commence on certain minor sources prior to the applicant receiving a final permit to construct.
OMB Approvals Under the Paperwork Reduction Act; Technical Amendment

Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District
Document Number: 06-2814
Type: Rule
Date: 2006-03-23
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from components at petroleum refineries, chemical plants, light crude oil production facilities, and natural gas production and processing facilities. We are approving local rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Colorado; Revisions to Regulation No. 1; Proposed Rule
Document Number: 06-2811
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-03-23
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Colorado on April 12, 2004. This revision makes a minor change to Colorado Regulation No. 1. The intended effect of this action is to make federally enforceable those provisions that EPA is approving. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
NESHAP: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors
Document Number: 06-2703
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-03-23
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
On October 12, 2005, EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing hazardous waste combustors. Subsequently, the Administrator received four petitions for reconsideration of the final rule. In this proposed rule, EPA is granting reconsideration of one issue in the petitions submitted by Ash Grove Cement Company and the Cement Kiln Recycling Coalition: The new source standard for particulate matter (PM) for cement kilns that burn hazardous waste. We are requesting comment on a revised new source particulate matter standard for cement kilns. We are also requesting comment on corresponding changes to the new source particulate matter standards for incinerators and liquid fuel boilers.
NESHAP: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors
Document Number: 06-2702
Type: Rule
Date: 2006-03-23
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
Pursuant to section 307(d)(7)(B) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is issuing an administrative stay of one requirement of the national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for hazardous waste combustors that were issued October 12, 2005, under section 112 of the CAA. EPA is staying the effective date of the standard for particulate matter for new cement kilns that burn hazardous waste while EPA reconsiders this provision. The length of the stay is three months, until June 23, 2006. During the period the stay is in effect, new cement kilns are subject to the particulate matter standard that was applicable prior to promulgation of the standard.
