ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 60

[FRL-5027-7]

 

Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, Supplemental 
Delegation of Authority to the Commonwealth of Kentucky

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Delegation of Authority.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 17, 1993, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department 
for Environmental Protection requested that EPA delegate authority for 
implementation and enforcement of additional and revised categories of 
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Since EPA's review of 
Kentucky's pertinent laws, rules, and regulations showed them to be 
adequate for the implementation and enforcement of these federal 
standards, the Agency has made the delegations as requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is 
June 22, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the request for delegation of authority and EPA's 
letter of delegation are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, Air Programs Branch, 345 
Courtland Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30365.
Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet, Department for 
Environmental Protection, Division for Air Quality, 803 Schenkel Lane, 
Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

    All requests, applications, reports and other correspondence 
required pursuant to the newly delegated standards should not be 
submitted to the Regional IV office, but should instead be submitted to 
the following address: Natural Resources and Environmental Protection 
Cabinet, Department for Environmental Protection, Division for Air 
Quality, 803 Schenkel Lane, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Southwick, Regulatory Planning 
and Development Section, Air Programs Branch, United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, 345 Courtland Street NE, 
Atlanta, Georgia, 30365, (404) 347-2864.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 301, in conjunction with Sections 
110 and 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act as amended November 15, 1990, 
authorizes EPA to delegate authority to implement and enforce the 
standards set out in 40 CFR Part 60, NSPS.
    On April 12, 1977, EPA initially delegated the authority for 
implementation and enforcement of the NSPS programs to the Commonwealth 
of Kentucky. On February 17, 1993, Kentucky requested a delegation of 
authority for implementation and enforcement of the following NSPS 
categories found in 40 CFR part 60.

New Categories for NSPS

1. Subpart Db--Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating 
Units (except Secs. 60.44b(f), 60.44b(g), and 60.44b(a)(4)).
2. Subpart H--Sulfuric Acid Plants.
3. Subpart QQ--Graphics Arts Industry: Publication Rotogravure 
Printing.
4. Subpart III--Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from the 
Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Air Oxidation 
Unit Processes (except Sec. 60.613(e)).
5. Subpart NNN--Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from 
Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Distillation 
Operations (except Sec. 60.663(e)).
6. Subpart QQQ--Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from 
Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems.
7. Subpart SSS--Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (except 
Secs. 60.711(a)(16), 60.713(b)(1)(i), 60.713(b)(1)(ii), 
60.713(b)(5)(i), 60.713(d), 60.715(a), and 60.716)).
8. Subpart TTT--Industrial Surface Coating: Surface Coating of Plastic 
Parts for Business Machines (except Secs. 60.723(b)(1), 
60.723(b)(2)(i)(C), 60.723(b)(2)(iv), 60.724(e), and 60.725(b)).
9. Subpart VVV--Polymeric Coating of Supporting Substrates Facilities 
(except Secs. 60.743(a)(3)(v) (A) and (B), 60.743(e), 60.745(a), and 
60.746.

    After a thorough review of the request, the Regional Administrator 
determined that such a delegation was appropriate for these source 
categories with the conditions set forth in the original delegation 
letter of April 12, 1977. Kentucky sources subject to the requirements 
of these subparts will not be under the jurisdiction of the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky. On June 22, 1994, EPA delegated the authority 
for the above mentioned source categories in a letter from Winston A. 
Smith, Director, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics Management Division to 
John E. Hornback, Director, Kentucky Division for Air Quality

Action

    Since review of the pertinent Kentucky laws, rules, and regulations 
showed them to be adequate for the implementation and enforcement of 
the aforementioned categories of NSPS, the Commonwealth's request for 
delegation was granted. The EPA hereby notifies the public that it has 
delegated the authority for the source categories listed above (except 
those sections, as noted, that may not be delegated).
    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
requirements of Section 3 of Executive Order 12291. This notice is 
issued under the authority of Sections 101, 110, 111, and 301 of the 
Clean Air Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, 7410, 7411, 7412, and 7601).

    Dated: June 30, 1994.
Patrick M. Tobin,
Acting Regional Administrator.
