Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Volatile
Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions From Synthetic Organic Chemical
Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Distillation Operations and Reactor
Processes; Amendment
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document contains amendments to the standards of
performance for new, modified, and reconstructed distillation
operations in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry
(SOCMI) (Subpart NNN) published on June 29, 1990, and for new,
modified, and reconstructed reactor processes in the synthetic organic
chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) (Subpart RRR) published on
August 31, 1993. Amendments are made to the spelling of certain
chemical names, the CAS numbers for certain chemicals, and some cross-
reference drafting errors. A clarifying sentence is also being added to
certain paragraphs to avoid inadvertent duplication of report
requirements.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 27, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information about this
correction contact Mr. Warren Johnson, (919) 541-5124, Organic
Chemicals Group, Emission Standards Division (MD-13), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This document amends Secs. 60.665 and 60.667 of Subpart NNN, and
Secs. 60.700, 60.704, 60.705 and 60.707 of Subpart RRR of 40 CFR Part
60. These sections deal with the applicability, test methods and
procedures, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for the standards
of performance for new, modified, and reconstructed distillation
operations (Subpart NNN) and reactor processes (Subpart RRR) in the
SOCMI industry.
As published, the final regulations contain spelling and CAS number
errors for certain chemicals listed in Sec. 60.667 Chemicals affected
by Subpart NNN, and in Sec. 60.667 Chemicals affected by Subpart RRR,
respectively. This document serves to amend these errors.
As published, Subpart RRR, Sec. 60.700 Applicability and
designation of affected facility, contains some inadvertent cross-
referencing errors which cause confusion in determining what is to be
reported semiannually regarding exemptions for total resource
effectiveness (TRE) greater than 8, production units with total design
capacity of less than 1,100 tons per year, and facilities with low vent
stream flow rates (0.011 scm/min). This document serves to amend these
errors to language and meaning originally intended by the regulation.
As published on August 31, 1993 (58 FR 45948), Subpart RRR,
Sec. 60.704 Test methods and procedures, contains a calculation error
in the TRE equation and some inadvertent cross-referencing errors which
cause confusion in determining TRE and compliance procedures. The
calculation error occurs in Sec. 60.704(e)(1), which provides the
equation for calculating the TRE index value. In this equation the
first ``0.88'' is intended to be superscript, as it correctly appeared
in the proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register, June 29, 1990 (55
FR 26945). The cross-referencing errors occur in Sec. 60.704(f)(1)
where notification is required for a recalculated TRE index value and
Sec. 60.704(h)(3) where method 18 is used to qualify for the total
organic compound (TOC) low concentration exclusion. This document
serves to amend these errors to language and meaning originally
intended by the regulation.
As published, the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of
Subparts NNN and RRR, in Secs. 60.665 and 60.705, contain language that
unintentionally infers duplication of process change reporting
requirements. To eliminate this duplication, a sentence is being added
to each of the Secs. 60.665(l) (5) and (6) in Subpart NNN, and
Secs. 60.705(l) (4), (5), and (8) in Subpart RRR to clarify that these
reports may be submitted either in conjunction with semiannual reports
or as a single separate report. In addition, Sec. 60.705(l)(1), which
is a missing cross-reference causing confusion in determining
appropriate reporting requirements for monitored exceedances, is also
being amended to be consistent with the proposed rulemaking in the
Federal Register, June 29, 1990 (55 FR 26978). This document serves to
amend the text to language and meaning originally intended by the
regulation.
