ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[AD-FRL-5942-2]


National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; 
Revision of List of Categories of Sources and Schedule for Standards 
Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of revisions to list of categories of major and area 
sources, and revisions to promulgation schedule for standards.

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

SUMMARY: This notice publishes revisions made or which have been 
proposed to the list of categories of sources of hazardous air 
pollutants (HAP) and the corresponding schedule for the promulgation of 
emission standards. Required under Sections 112 (c) and (e) of the 
Clean Air Act, the source category list and the schedule for standards 
constitute a significant part of the EPA's agenda for regulating 
stationary sources of air toxics emissions. The ``list'' and 
``schedule'' were most recently published in the Federal Register on 
June 4, 1996 (61 FR 28197).
    Today's notice meets the requirement in Section 112(c)(1) to 
publish from time to time a list of all categories of sources, 
reflecting revisions since the list was published. Several of the 
revisions identified in today's notice have already been published in 
actions associated with listing and promulgating emission standards for 
individual source categories, and public comment has already been taken 
in the context of those actions. Some of the revisions in today's 
notice have not been reflected in any previous notices, and are being 
made without public comment on the Administrator's own motion. Such 
revisions are deemed by EPA to be without need for public comment, 
based on the nature of the actions. Other revisions have been only 
proposed as of today's date, but are reflected nevertheless to be 
inclusive of all list and schedule actions of probable interest to the 
reader.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 12, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Pub. L. 101-549) require, 
under the revisions to Section 112, that the Agency list categories of 
sources emitting HAP and promulgate national emission standards for 
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) in order to control, reduce, or 
otherwise limit the emissions of HAP from such categories of major and 
area sources. Pursuant to the various specific listing requirements in 
Section 112(c), the Agency published on July 16, 1992 (57 FR 31576) a 
list of 174 categories of major and area sources--referred to as the 
``initial list''--that would be henceforth subject to emission 
standards. Following this listing, pursuant to requirements in Section 
112(e), on December 3, 1993 (58 FR 63941) the Agency published a 
schedule for the promulgation of emission standards for each of the 174 
listed source categories. The schedule for standards organized the 
source categories into groups of four separate timeframes with 
promulgation deadlines of November 15, 1992, November 15, 1994, 
November 15, 1997, or November 15, 2000. The reader is directed to 
these two notices for information relating to development of the 
initial list and schedule.
    Following these publications, several list and schedule actions 
were effected through publication of specific Federal Register notices. 
For example, on November 12, 1993 (58 FR 60021), the Agency listed 
marine vessel loading operations as a category of major sources, with 
standards to be promulgated, pursuant to Section 112(c)(5), by the year 
2000. As another example, on September 8, 1994 (59 FR 46339), the 
Agency promulgated standards for HAP emissions for industrial process 
cooling towers. This latter action did not revise the list or schedule, 
per se, but specifically delineated rule applicability by defining the 
affected sources within the listed category. The Agency believes that 
defining rule applicability and affected sources as part of standard 
setting constitutes an important aspect of list revision. As was stated 
in the initial list notice (57 FR 31576):

    the Agency recognizes that these descriptions [in the initial 
list], like the list itself, may be revised from time to time as 
better information becomes available. The Agency intends to revise 
these descriptions as part of the process of establishing standards 
for each category. Ultimately, a definition of each listed category, 
or subsequently listed subcategories, will be incorporated in each 
rule establishing a NESHAP for a category

    As more notices were published that effected actions relating to 
individual source categories, it became important to examine the 
resultant change on the list and schedule. On June 4, 1996 (61 FR 
28197), the EPA published a notice that referenced all previous listing 
and schedule changes and consolidated those actions, along with several 
new actions, into a revised source category list and schedule. A 
subsequent notice was published on July 18, 1996 (61 FR 37542) which 
corrected typographical errors in the June 4 notice.
    Section 112(e)(4) states that, notwithstanding Section 307 of the 
Act, no action of the Administrator listing a source category or 
subcategory under Section 112(c) shall be a final Agency action subject 
to judicial review, except that any such action may be reviewed under 
Section 307 when the Administrator issues emission standards for such 
pollutant or category. Therefore, today's list is not a final Agency 
action and is not subject to judicial review.
    Prior to issuance of the initial source category list, the EPA 
published a draft initial list for public comment (56 FR 28548; June 
21, 1991). Although the EPA was not required to take public comment on 
the initial source category list, it believed it was useful to solicit 
input on a number of issues related to the list. Indeed, in most 
instances, even where there is no statutory requirement to take 
comment, EPA solicits public comment on actions it is contemplating. 
The EPA has, however, decided that it is unnecessary to solicit 
additional public comment on the revisions reflected in today's notice 
because interested parties have already had, or will have in the 
future, the opportunity to provide comments on many of the revisions in 
the context of individual actions relating to proposing and 
promulgating emissions standards.

II. Description of Individual List and Schedule Revisions

    The revised source category list and regulatory schedule, 
reflecting all actions up to today's date, are presented in Table 1. 
This table incorporates the entire listing of source categories listed 
to this date, including those listed on the initial list as well as 
those listed subsequently either through a specific Federal Register 
notice or the June 4, 1996 revision notice. Table 1 also includes the 
updated schedule for establishing emission standards under Section 112 
for the listed categories, including rule proposal or promulgation 
Federal Register citations (Table 1 omits proposal notices once a rule 
has been promulgated). Table 1 is formatted so that the reader can at 
once see all categories of major and area sources that have been listed 
to date, the associated schedule for standards and rulemaking notices, 
and any revisions effected by or reflected in today's notice. Source 
categories and/or schedules for standards in Table 1 that are revised 
from the previous listing notices are marked (i.e., as revisions ``as 
of Today'') for ease in discerning where revisions have been made.
    The following sections describe the actions that are being effected 
by or reflected in this notice that are new since the June 4, 1996 
publication.

A. Addition of Categories of Sources

    The Administrator is obligated to list any category of major 
sources. Section 112(a) defines ``major'' source as any stationary 
source or group of stationary sources, emitting or having the potential 
to emit, considering controls, 10 tons per year of one HAP or 25 tons 
per year of two or more HAP.
    Today's notice reflects the February 6, 1998 listing (63 FR 8288) 
of a new category of major sources, Natural Gas Transmission and 
Storage. This new source category is a result of dividing the initially 
listed Oil and Natural Gas Production major source category into two 
separate major source categories. Thus, the Oil and Natural Gas 
Production source category remains on the list of categories, but part 
of its original applicability is being covered by the new Natural Gas 
Transmission

[[Page 7157]]

and Storage source category. Since this new category is a subset of an 
originally listed major source category, it is not subject to the 
scheduling requirements of Section 112(c)(5); but rather, is subject to 
the November 15, 1997 deadline originally set for the Oil and Natural 
Gas Production source category. The reader is referred to the above 
cited Federal Register notice for more information concerning the 
proposed rule applicability of these two source categories.
    An ``area'' source is a stationary source of HAP that is not a 
major source. The Agency may list and regulate categories of area 
sources pursuant to a number of authorities in Section 112. The 
authorities are all discretionary and/or require some sort of finding 
or determination by the Administrator. The Agency believes that any 
such area source listing action should therefore be subject to public 
comment and is consequently not being taken in today's notice.
    However, the February 6, 1998 action described above, which divides 
the ``Oil and Natural Gas Production'' category into two major source 
categories, also proposed to add two area source categories to the list 
as part of that regulatory action. Since final action has not yet been 
taken on the proposal to list these two area source categories, the 
list of categories in today's notice does not reflect the addition of 
these two source categories. If final action is taken to add these area 
source categories to the list, that action will be reflected in future 
consolidated list publications.
    The reader is also referred to a June 20, 1997 notice (62 FR 33625) 
that proposes the listing of three source categories, pursuant to the 
requirements of Section 112(c)(6). Once listed, these source categories 
will be subject to emission standards under Section 112(d)(2) and (4) 
of the Act.

B. Delineation of Standard Applicability and Affected Sources Through 
Standard Promulgation

    Emission standards have been promulgated under Section 112 for 
several source categories since the source category list and schedule 
were last published. Table 1 identifies the Federal Register cite for 
each of these notices. These actions are cited in today's notice 
because they revise the list in that they delineate rule applicability 
by defining the affected sources within the listed category.

C. Proposed Delineation of Standard Applicability and Affected Sources 
Through Standard Proposal

    Emission standards have been proposed under Section 112 for several 
source categories since the source category list and schedule were last 
published. These actions are cited in today's notice as they propose to 
revise the list by delineating rule applicability by defining the 
affected sources within the listed category. The reader is referred to 
Table 1 to obtain the Federal Register citations for these categories 
of sources.

D. Subsumption of Listed Source Categories Into Other Listed Source 
Categories

    Today's notice specifies one action involving subsumption of two 
previously listed source categories into a single source category. The 
Hydrogen Cyanide Production and Sodium Cyanide Production source 
categories will be combined into a new major source category, called 
Cyanide Chemicals Manufacturing. Since facilities produce sodium 
cyanide and hydrogen cyanide in the same process train (i.e., using the 
same or linked equipment), it is more sensible to have facilities 
subject to only one rule rather than two separate rules for different 
parts of their process. As a result, two source categories are 
aggregated into one category without compromising the intent of the 
original source category listing notice.
    The reader is also referred to a November 7, 1996 notice (61 FR 
57602) to learn about an anticipated listing action involving the 
subsumption of a number of source categories into one source category, 
called the Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Processes source category. 
Each of the anticipated subsumed categories are scheduled for standards 
promulgation no later than November 15, 2000; thus, the new source 
category would be also scheduled for that regulatory timeframe.
    The reader is also referred to a November 10, 1997 notice (62 FR 
60566) which proposes subsumption of the eleven categories listed in 
the Agricultural Chemicals Industry Group into one combined source 
category, Pesticides Active Ingredients Production. The Pesticides 
Active Ingredient source category is scheduled for standards 
promulgation by November 15, 1997.

E. Deletion of Categories of Sources

    The Administrator may delete categories of sources on the 
Administrator's own motion or on petition. One source category--Nylon 6 
Production--which was previously determined to be a major source 
category is being deleted from the list on the Administrator's own 
motion in today's notice. A second category--Cyanuric Chloride 
Production--is being deleted on the Administrator's own motion because 
no major source produces cyanuric chloride as a product. Today's notice 
contains no deletions of categories as a result of petition.
    The reason for deleting Nylon 6 Production is that available data 
indicate that the category contains no major sources. Specifically, the 
only pollutant which has ever been considered a HAP that is emitted by 
the Nylon 6 production process is caprolactam. On June 18, 1996 (61 FR 
30816), the Agency removed caprolactam from the Section 112(b)(1) list 
of HAP. Consequently, this category emits no HAP and is therefore 
removed from the list of source categories.
    The reason Cyanuric Chloride Production is being deleted is that 
the EPA has determined that cyanuric chloride is an unstable 
intermediate product and as such does not exist as a production 
category. Therefore, it was erroneously included on the initial list of 
source categories.
    This section does not include categories of sources which are being 
deleted from the list by way of subsumption into other listed 
categories. See Section II.D of this notice for information on these 
categories.
    In the near future EPA expects to publish a notice announcing its 
intent to regulate certain solid waste incineration units under Section 
129 of the Act rather than Section 112. Currently, the Section 112 
source category list includes some solid waste incineration units. The 
source category list and schedule will be updated following 
finalization of any such change. Sources expressly excluded from 
regulation under Section 129(g)(1) will remain on the Section 112 list.

F. Moving Standards Promulgation Deadlines for Source Categories

    The Agency may revise the regulatory schedule for standards 
associated with a listed source category, heeding the limitations in 
Section 112. As was stated in the notice issuing the schedule for 
standards (58 FR 63941; December 3, 1993), ``* * * as new information 
comes available, the EPA may identify changes to the schedule that 
would facilitate greater achievement of the prioritizing criteria of 
section 112(e).''
    The December 3, 1993, notice scheduled the initially listed source

[[Page 7158]]

categories for regulation such that exactly 50 percent (87 out of 174) 
were scheduled by November 15, 1997. Consequently, in order to continue 
to satisfy the numerical and temporal requirements of Section 
112(e)(1), any change to occur that would delay the deadline for a 
source category scheduled for regulation by November 15, 1997, must be 
offset by a corresponding shifting of a source category from the 
November 15, 2000, regulatory timeframe forward to the November 15, 
1997, timeframe.
    Today's notice effects three actions (affecting seven source 
categories) whereby circumstances support a change to the schedule for 
standards.
1. Reinforced Plastic Composites Production and Phosphate Fertilizers 
Production
    Reinforced Plastic Composites Production is delayed from November 
15, 1997, to November 15, 2000, following the determination that its 
regulatory development should be conducted in parallel with that of the 
Boat Manufacturing source category, which is scheduled for standards 
promulgation by November 15, 2000. Correspondingly, the regulatory 
schedule for the Phosphate Fertilizers Production is moved up in time, 
from November 15, 2000, to November 15, 1997.
    The change of schedule for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production 
will promote consistency with the development of the Boat Manufacturing 
NESHAP. The applicability and recordkeeping/reporting requirements for 
these standards needs to be coordinated due to an overlap in the 
coverage of the source categories. In addition, moving back the 
Reinforced Plastic Composites Production regulatory timeframe allows 
the EPA the time it needs to carry out additional data gathering to 
develop the rule. Specifically, the EPA is planning a source test 
program to provide data needed for one of the subcategories of 
Reinforced Plastic Composites Production.
    Because the standard for the Phosphate Fertilizers Production 
Category is already proposed (61 FR 68430), it will be far ahead of its 
initial regulatory deadline and therefore can be used in place of the 
Reinforced Plastic Composites Production category in order to meet the 
statutory requirement of completion of 50 percent of the initially 
listed source categories by November 15, 1997.
2. Chlorine Production and Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing
    This notice also announces the change of schedules for the source 
categories of Chlorine Production and Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing. 
The schedule for Chlorine Production, which was included in the initial 
source category schedule in December 1993, is being changed from 
November 15, 1997, to November 15, 2000. The schedule for Phosphoric 
Acid Manufacturing, published in that same notice (58 FR 63941; 
December 3, 1993), is being changed from November 15, 2000, to November 
15, 1997.
    Moving Chlorine Production to the 10-year bin would allow the EPA 
the time it needs to carry out additional data gathering to develop the 
proposal. Specifically, the Chlorine Institute and its US based mercury 
cell chlor-alkali producers are voluntarily committed to attaining a 50 
percent reduction in the deliberate use and release of mercury from US 
based chlor-alkali facilities by the year 2005. Given the timing of 
these future actions, the Agency has determined that moving Chlorine 
Production into the 10-year bin is prudent to avoid requirements that 
are incompatible with the voluntary reductions.
    Because the standard for the Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing category 
has already been proposed, it will be far ahead of its 2000 deadline 
and therefore can be used to meet the statutory requirement to complete 
regulation of half the original source category list in 7 years.
3. Cyanide Chemicals Manufacturing, Marine Vessel Loading Operations, 
and Secondary Lead Smelting (Area Source Category)
    This notice also announces a change of schedule for the newly 
designated Cyanide Chemicals Manufacturing category and the Secondary 
Lead Smelting area source category and the Marine Vessel Loading 
Operations category. As noted above, the Hydrogen Cyanide Production 
category and the Sodium Cyanide Production category (which have now 
been combined into the Cyanide Chemicals Manufacturing category) were 
scheduled for regulation by November 15, 1997. The Secondary Lead 
Smelting area source category and the Marine Vessel Loading Operations 
major source category were added after publication of the initial 
source category list, and therefore scheduled for regulation by 
November 15, 2000, pursuant to Section 112(c)(5) of the Act. Moving 
forward the regulatory deadlines for these two regulated categories in 
exchange for the Cyanide Chemicals Manufacturing category constitutes 
an equal trade of two categories previously scheduled for November 1997 
with two categories previously scheduled for November 2000. 
Consequently, the requirement to regulate 50 percent of the initially 
listed categories by November 15, 1997, is preserved.

G. Descriptions of Categories of Sources

    For general descriptions of source categories listed in Table 1, 
the reader is referred to Docket No. A-90-49, Item No. IV-A-55 (EPA-
450/3-91-030, entitled ``Documentation for Developing the Initial 
Source Category List''), and the Federal Register notice for the first 
revision of the source category list and schedule (61 FR 28197; June 4, 
1996). For subsequent changes to descriptions of source categories for 
which a rule has been promulgated, the reader is advised to consult 
Table 1 for the citation of the Federal Register notice which will 
include the amended definition and corresponding rule applicability.

III. Administrative Requirements

A. Docket

    The docket for this regulatory action is A-90-49. The docket is an 
organized and complete file of all the information submitted to or 
otherwise considered by the Agency in the development of this revised 
list of categories of sources and revised schedule for standards. The 
principal purpose of this docket is to allow interested parties to 
identify and locate documents that serve as a record of the process 
engaged in by the Agency to publish today's revision to the initial 
list and schedule. The docket is available for public inspection at the 
EPA's Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, which is listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.

B. Regulatory Requirements

1. General
    Today's notice is not a rule; it is essentially an information 
sharing activity which does not impose regulatory requirements or 
costs. Therefore, the EPA has not prepared an assessment of the 
potential costs and benefits pursuant to Executive Order 12866, nor an 
economic impact analysis pursuant to Section 317, nor a regulatory 
flexibility analysis pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. 
L. 96-354, September 19, 1980), nor a budgetary impact statement 
pursuant to the Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995. Also, this notice does 
not contain any information collection requirements and, therefore, is 
not subject to the

[[Page 7159]]

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
2. Executive Order 12866 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
Review
    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993), the 
Agency must determine whether a regulatory action is ``significant'' 
and therefore subject to OMB review and the requirements of the 
Executive Order. The Order defines ``significant'' regulatory action as 
one that is likely to lead to a rule that may either (1) have an annual 
effect on the economy of $100 million or more, or adversely and 
materially affect a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, 
jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local or 
tribal governments or communities; (2) create a serious inconsistency 
or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another 
agency; (3) materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, 
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of 
recipients thereof; or (4) raise novel legal or policy issues arising 
out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles 
set forth in the Executive Order.
    Pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 12866, it has been decided 
that this is a ``significant regulatory action'' within the meaning of 
the Executive Order. For this reason, this action underwent review by 
the OMB.

(P): proposed rulemaking action.                                        
(R): reopening of a proposed action for public comment.

Moved: the source category is relocated to a more appropriate industry  
  group.                                                                
Subsumed: the source category is included within the definition of      
  another listed category and therefore is no longer listed as a        
  separate source category.                                             
Renamed: the title of this source category is changed to a more         
  appropriate title.                                                    
Deleted: the source category is officially removed from the source      
  category list.                                                        
c Sources defined as electric utility steam generating units under      
  Section 112(a)(8) shall not be subject to emission standards pending  
  the findings of the study required under Section 112(n)(1).           
d The Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) Emissions source category   
  has a statutory deadline for regulatory promulgation of November 15,  
  1995, as established by Section 112(e)(5) of the Clean Air Act.       
  However, for purposes of determining the 18 month period applicable to
  the POTW source category under Section 112(j)(2), the promulgation    
  deadline is November 15, 1997. This latter date is consistent with the
  Section 112(e) schedule for the promulgation of emissions standards,  
  as published in the Federal Register on December 3, 1993 (58 FR       
  63941).                                                               
e Equipment handling specific chemicals for these categories or subsets 
  of these categories are subject to a negotiated standard for equipment
  leaks contained in the Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON), which was      
  promulgated on April 22, 1994. The HON includes a negotiated standard 
  for equipment leaks from the SOCMI category and 20 non-SOCMI          
  categories (or subsets of these categories). The specific processes   
  affected within the categories are listed in Section XX.X0(c) of the  
  March 6, 1991 Federal Register notice (56 FR 9315).                   
f A finding of threat of adverse effects to human health or the         
  environment was made for each category of area sources listed.
