Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Approval of Source-Specific VOC and NOX RACT and 
Synthetic Minor Permit Conditions, and 1990 Baseyear Emissions for One 
Source

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 
submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This revision 
establishes and requires reasonably available control technology (RACT) 
on twenty major sources, establishes permit conditions to limit one 
source's emissions to below major source levels, and establishes 1990 
baseyear VOC and NOX emissions for one source. This action affects 
a total of 21 sources. The intended effect of this action is to approve 
source-specific plan approvals and operating permits and emission 
inventory figures for emission units at one source, which establish the 
above-mentioned requirements in accordance with the Clean Air Act. This 
action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This action is effective June 10, 1996 unless notice is received 
on or before May 9, 1996 that adverse or critical comments will be 
submitted. If the effective date is delayed, timely notice will be 
published in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 6, 1995, April 19, 1995, May 10, 
1995, May 31, 1995, August 11, 1995, October 24, 1995, and December 8, 
1995, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania submitted formal revisions to 
its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP revisions that are the 
subject of this rulemaking consist of plan approvals and operating 
permits for 20 individual sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 
and/or nitrogen oxides (NOX) located in Pennsylvania. This 
rulemaking addresses those plan approvals and operating permits 
pertaining to the following sources: (1) Tenneco Gas Pipeline Company--
Station 313, (2) Corning Asahi Video Products Company, (3) Pennsylvania 
Power Company--New Castle plant, (4) Columbia Gas Transmission 
Company--Easton, (5) Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation--
Bechtelsville, (6) Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation--Grantville, 
(7) Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation--Shermans Dale, (8) Texas 
Eastern Transmission Corporation--Bedford, (9) Texas Eastern 
Transmission Corporation--Perulack/Leidy, (10) Texas Eastern 
Transmission Corporation--Bernville, (11) Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation--Marietta, (12) Hercules Cement Company, (13) Lone Star 
Industries, (14) International Paper Company--Hammermill Papers 
Division, (15) Pennsylvania Power & Light--Montour SES, (16) 
Pennsylvania Electric Company--Shawville, (17) Zinc Corporation of 
America--Monaca, (18) Procter and Gamble Paper Products--Mehoopany, 
(19) Metropolitan Edison--Portland Generating Station, (20) Columbia 
Gas Transmission Corporation--Union City. In addition, on August 11, 
1995 (as amended on November 15, 1995), Pennsylvania submitted a RACT 
determination and 1990 baseyear emission inventory figures for U.S. 
Steel--Fairless Hills for EPA approval into the Pennsylvania SIP. 
Therefore, this rulemaking will also address the approval of the RACT 
determination for certain emission units at U.S. Steel--Fairless and 
the establishment of 1990 baseyear emissions for these emission units. 
The other plan approvals and operating permits submitted together with 
these being approved today will be addressed in another rulemaking 
action.
    Pursuant to sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f) of the Clean Air Act 
(CAA), Pennsylvania is required to implement RACT for all major VOC and 
NOX sources by no later than May 31, 1995. The major source size 
is determined by its location, the classification of that area and 
whether it is located in the ozone transport region (OTR), which is 
established by the CAA. The Pennsylvania portion of the Philadelphia 
ozone nonattainment area consists of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, 
Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties and is classified as severe. The 
remaining counties in Pennsylvania are classified as either moderate or 
marginal nonattainment areas or are designated attainment for ozone. 
However, under section 184 of the CAA, at a minimum, moderate ozone 
nonattainment area requirements (including RACT as specified in 
sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f)) apply throughout the OTR. Therefore, 
RACT is applicable statewide in Pennsylvania. The January 6, 1995, 
April 19, 1995, May 10, 1995, May 31, 1995, August 11, 1995 (as amended 
on November 15, 1995), and October 24, 1995 Pennsylvania submittals 
that are the subject of this document, are meant to satisfy the RACT 
requirements for 20 sources in Pennsylvania and to limit the potential 
VOC emissions at one source to below the major source size threshold in 
order to avoid the RACT requirement.

Summary of SIP Revision

    The details of the RACT requirements for the source-specific plan 
approvals and operating permits can be found in the docket and 
accompanying technical support document and will not be reiterated in 
this document. Briefly, EPA is approving eight plan approvals and 
twenty operating permits and one compliance permit as RACT and one 
operating permit as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP to limit a 
source's emissions to below the major source threshold. Several of the 
plan approvals and operating permits contain conditions irrelevant to 
the determination of VOC or NOX RACT. Consequently, these 
provisions are not being included in this approval for VOC or NOX 
RACT. In addition, a correction to the 1990 baseyear emissions 
inventory for one source is being made through this rulemaking action.

RACT

    EPA is approving the plan approval (PA 53-0001), operating permit 
(OP 53-0001), and compliance permit (CP 53-0001) for Tennessee Gas 
Pipeline Company--Station 313, located in Potter County. Tennessee Gas 
Pipeline Company--Station 313 is a natural gas

[[Page 15710]]
transmission and gas storage station and is considered a major source 
of NOX emissions. The compliance permit allows the Company until 
May 31, 1996 to comply with the RACT requirements for the installation 
of nonselective catalytic reduction (NSCR) technology. EPA is approving 
the operating permits (OP 14-0003, OP 14-309-010A, OP 14-309-010C and

emissions. EPA is approving the operating permit (OP 06-1033) for Texas 
Eastern Transmission Corporation--Bernville, located in Berks County. 
Texas Eastern Transmission Corp.--Bernville is a natural gas compressor 
station and is considered a major source of NOX emissions. EPA is 
approving the plan approval (PA 36-2025) for Texas Eastern Transmission 
Corporation--Marietta, located in Lancaster County. Texas Eastern 
Transmission Corp.--Marietta is a natural gas compressor station and is 
considered a major source of NOX emissions. EPA is approving the 
plan approval (PA 48-0005A) and operating permit (OP 48-005) for 
Hercules Cement Company, located in Northampton County. Hercules Cement 
Company is a cement manufacturer and is considered a major source of 
NOX emissions. EPA is approving the operating permit (OP 48-0007) 
for Lone Star Industries, located in Northampton County. Lone Star 
Industries is a cement manufacturer and is considered a major source of 
NOX emissions. EPA is approving the operating permit (OP 18-0005) 
for International Paper Company - Hammermill Papers Division, located 
in Clinton County. International Paper Company--Hammermill is a paper 
manufacturer and is considered a major source of VOC and NOX 
emissions. EPA is approving the plan approval (PA 47-0001A) and 
operating permit (OP 47-0001) for Pennsylvania Power & Light (PP&L)--
Montour SES, located in Montour County. PP&L--Montour is a utility and 
is considered a major source of VOC and NOX emissions. EPA is 
approving the plan approval (PA 17-0001) for Pennsylvania Electric 
Company (Penelec)--Shawville, located in Clearfield County. Penelec--
Shawville is a utility and is considered a major source of VOC and

County. Procter and Gamble--Mehoopany is a pulp and paper making 
facility and is considered a major source of VOC and NOX 
emissions. EPA is approving the plan approval (PA 48-0006A) and 
operating permit (48-0006) for Metropolitan Edison--Portland Generating 
Station, located in Northampton County. Metropolitan Edison--Portland 
is a utility and is considered a major source of NOX emissions.
    The specific emission limitations and other RACT requirements for 
these sources are summarized in the accompanying technical support 
document, which is available from the EPA Region III office. Several of 
the plan approvals/operating permits contain a provision that allows 
for future changes to the emission limitations based on CEM or other 
monitoring data. Since EPA cannot approve emission limitations that are 
not currently before it, any changes to the emission limitations as 
submitted on January 6, 1995, April 19, 1995, May 10, 1995, May 31, 
1995, August 11, 1995 (as amended on November 15, 1995), October 24, 
1995, and December 8, 1995, to EPA must be resubmitted to and approved 
by EPA in order for these changes to be incorporated into the 
Pennsylvania SIP. Consequently, the source-specific RACT emission 
limitations that are being approved into the Pennsylvania SIP are those 
that were submitted on the above-mentioned dates and are the subject of 
this rulemaking action. These emission limitations will remain unless 
and until they are replaced pursuant to 40 CFR Part 51 and approved by 
the U.S. EPA. In addition, several of the plan approvals and operating 
permits contain a general provision that would allow compliance date 
extensions at the request of the source and approval by Pennsylvania 
without EPA approval. While EPA does not automatically rule out the 
possibility of compliance date extensions, EPA cannot pre-approve 
compliance date extensions through a general provision such as that 
which occurs in those plan approvals and operating permits.t
    In addition, EPA is posthumously establishing RACT for the six, now 
shutdown, sources at U.S. Steel--Fairless Hills. These six sources are 
the no.3 blast furnace, no. 1 open hearth furnace, no.1 soaking pits 
(20), no. 2 soaking pits (1-8), no. 2 soaking pits (9-16), and the 80 
in. hot strip mill. All of these sources ceased operation and had their 
permits revoked on August 1, 1991. Had the no. 1 and 2 soaking pits and 
the 80 in. hot strip mill continued to operate, they would have been 
required to install low excess air technology, which is expected to 
result in a 13.5% emission reduction. RACT for the other sources is 
determined to be no additional controls. The total post-RACT NOX 
emissions for these six sources is 1301.7 tons per year. The total 
post-RACT VOC emissions for these six sources is 18.1 tons per year. 
The 1990 base year VOC and NOX

[[Page 15711]]
emissions for the above-named six sources are also being approved. The 
VOC and NOX 1990 emissions from the no. 3 blast furnace are zero 
for both pollutants. The VOC and NOX 1990 emissions from the no. 1 
open hearth furnace are 6.9 TPY and 455.5 TPY, respectively. The VOC 
and NOX emissions from the no.1 soaking pits are 6.6 TPY and 91.8 
TPY, respectively. The VOC and NOX emissions from the no. 2 
soaking pits (units 1-8) are 1.10 TPY and 21.0 TPY, respectively. The 
VOC and NOX emissions from the no. 2 soaking pits (units 9-16) are 
1.10 TPY and 21.0 TPY, respectively. The VOC and NOX emissions 
from the 80 in. hot strip mill are 1.9 TPY and 688.6 TPY, respectively. 
EPA is also using this document to recognize the emission reduction 
credits created from the shutdown of these emission units; a total of 
1301.7 tons of NOX per year and 18.1 tons of VOC per year.

Synthetic Minor Permit

    EPA is approving the operating permit (OP 25-892) for Columbia Gas 
Transmission Corporation--Union City, located in Erie County. Columbia 
Gas Transmission Corp.--Union City is a natural gas compressor station 
and had potential NOx emissions greater than 100 tons per year (TPY). 
The approval of these conditions will limit the emissions at this 
facility to less than 100 TPY and would allow Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation--Union City to avoid being considered a major NOX 
source, subject to the major source RACT requirements of the Clean Air 
Act and the Pennsylvania regulation.
    The technical support document contains the details of each of the 
RACT determinations, synthetic minor permit conditions, and 1990 
baseyear emissions calculations. It is available at the EPA Region III 
office listed in the Addresses section of this document.
    EPA is approving this SIP revision without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates 
no adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal 
Register publication, EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision 
should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be 
effective June 10, 1996 unless, by May 9, 1996, adverse or critical 
comments are received.
    If EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn before 
the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will 
withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a 
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public is 
advised that this action will be effective on June 10, 1996. If adverse 
comments are received that do not pertain to all documents subject to 
this rulemaking action, those documents not affected by the adverse 
comments will be finalized in the manner described here. Only those 
documents that receive adverse comments will be withdrawn in the manner 
described here.

Final Action

    EPA is approving eight plan approvals, twenty operating permits and 
one compliance permit as RACT for nineteen individual sources, one 
operating permit to limit emissions at Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation--Union City to below major source levels, and the RACT 
determination and the 1990 baseyear emissions for six emission units at 
U.S. Steel--Fairless.
    Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or 
allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for 
revision to any state implementation plan. Each request for revision to 
the state implementation plan shall be considered separately in light 
of specific technical, economic, and environmental factors and in 
relation to relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA 
must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of 
any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604. 
Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small 
entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, 
and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than 
50,000.
    SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the 
Clean Air Act do not create any new requirements but simply approve 
requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the 
Federal SIP approval does not impose any new requirements, the 
Administrator certifies that it does not have a significant impact on 
any small entities affected. Moreover, due to the nature of the 
Federal-State relationship under the CAA, preparation of a flexibility 
analysis would constitute Federal inquiry into the economic 
reasonableness of state action. The Clean Air Act forbids EPA to base 
its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S. 
EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).
    Under Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA 
must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or 
final that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated 
costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to 
the private sector, of $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA 
must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative 
that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with 
statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan 
for informing and advising any small governments that may be 
significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
    This Federal action approves pre-existing requirements under State 
or local law, and imposes no new Federal requirements. Accordingly, no 
additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the 
private sector, result from this action.
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action, pertaining to the approval of 20 
source-specific VOC and NOX RACT determinations, one synthetic 
minor permit, and correction to the 1990 baseyear emissions inventory 
in Pennsylvania, must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals 
for the appropriate circuit by June 10, 1996. Filing a petition for 
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect 
the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does 
it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be 
filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. 
This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its 
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

    (c) VOC and NOX RACT determination for six emission units at 
U.S. Steel--Fairless: no. 3 blast furnace, no. 1 open hearth furnace, 
no. 1 soaking pits, no. 2 soaking pits (units 1-8), no. 2 soaking pits 
(units 9-16), 80 in. hot strip mill. The NOX RACT determination 
for all the soaking pits and the 80 in. hot strip mill is low excess 
air (LEA), which is expected to result in a 13.5% emission reduction. 
NOX RACT for the other sources is determined to be good operating 
practices to minimize NOX emissions. VOC RACT for all the above 
sources is determined to be good operating practices to minimize VOC 
emissions.
