National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking Units, Catalytic Reforming 
Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule; amendments.

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

SUMMARY: On April 11, 2002, pursuant to section 112 of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA), the EPA issued national emission standards to control 
hazardous air pollutants emitted from catalytic cracking units, 
catalytic reforming units, and sulfur recovery units at petroleum 
refineries. This action promulgates amendments to several sections of 
the existing standards. The amendments will change the affected source 
designations and add new compliance options for catalytic reforming 
units that use different types of emission control systems, new 
monitoring alternatives for catalytic cracking units and catalytic 
reforming units, and a new procedure for determining the metal or total 
chloride concentration on catalyst particles. The amendments will also 
defer technical requirements for most continuous parameter monitoring 
systems, clarify testing and monitoring requirements, and make 
editorial corrections.

DATES: The final amendments will be effective on April 11, 2005, unless 
we receive significant adverse comments by March 11, 2005, or by March 
28, 2005 if a public hearing is requested. If such comments are 
received, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register 
indicating which amendments, paragraph, or section will become 
effective and which amendments, paragraph, or section are being 
withdrawn due to adverse comment. Any distinct amendment, paragraph, or 
section of the direct final amendments for which we do not receive 
adverse comment will become effective on April 11, 2005.

I. Background

    On April 11, 2002 (67 FR 17762), we issued the national emission 
standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for catalytic cracking 
units (CCU), catalytic reforming units (CRU), and sulfur recovery units 
(SRU) at petroleum refineries (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU). The NESHAP 
establish emissions limits for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted 
from vents on the three types of process units, as well as work 
practice standards for by-pass lines. The NESHAP implement section 
112(d) of the CAA by requiring all petroleum refineries that are major 
sources to meet standards reflecting the application of the maximum 
achievable control technology (MACT).
    After publication of the NESHAP, two industry trade associations 
and various individual refineries raised issues and questions regarding 
the applicability of the NESHAP and the technical requirements for 
installation, operation, and maintenance of continuous parameter 
monitoring systems (CPMS). The industry representatives and a control 
technology manufacturer also requested that we clarify the requirements 
for CRU depressurizing and purging, add more compliance provisions for 
CRU with internal scrubbing systems, and include new provisions for CRU 
that use emission control technologies other than scrubbers. The 
industry representatives also requested clarification of various 
performance testing and monitoring provisions. Other questions were 
raised at an implementation workshop held in January 2003. Today's 
direct final rule amendments respond to the issues raised since 
promulgation and will reduce compliance uncertainties, encourage the 
use of new control technologies, and improve understanding of the 
NESHAP requirements.
    In addition, since publication of the NESHAP, we have identified a 
number of minor technical and editorial errors requiring correction. 
Rather than publish a separate notice of corrections, we are including 
those changes along with the amendments.

II. Summary of the Direct Final Rule Amendments

A. How Are We Changing the Affected Source Designations?

    One of the issues raised by the industry representatives concerns 
the language in 40 CFR 63.1562 where we identified the affected sources 
as each CCU that regenerates catalyst, each CRU that regenerates 
catalyst, and each SRU and the tail gas treatment unit serving it. In 
designating the affected source as the unit rather than the vent or 
group of vents on the unit (as originally proposed), we inadvertently 
made the NESHAP more stringent for some facilities, and these 
facilities did not have an opportunity to comment on the change. 
Therefore, we are revising the designation of affected sources to be

[[Page 6932]]

more consistent with the rule as proposed. The direct final rule 
amendments define the process unit affected sources as:
     The process vent or group of process vents on fluidized 
CCU units that is associated with regeneration of the catalyst used in 
the unit (i.e., the catalyst regeneration flue gas vent).
     The process vent or group of process vents on CRU 
(including but not limited to semi-regenerative, cyclic, or continuous 
processes), that is associated with regeneration of the catalyst used 
in the unit. This affected source includes vents that are used during 
the unit depressurization, purging, coke burn, and catalyst 
rejuvenation.
     The process vent or group of process vents on Claus or 
other types of sulfur recovery plant units or the tail gas treatment 
units serving sulfur recovery plants that is associated with sulfur 
recovery.

B. How Are We Changing the Testing and Monitoring Requirements for 
Catalytic Cracking Units?

    The initial compliance provisions in 40 CFR 63.1564(b)(1) require 
the owner or operator to install, operate, and maintain a CPMS 
according to the requirements in 40 CFR 63.1572 and Table 3 to subpart 
UUU. Facilities that are not subject to the new source performance 
standards (NSPS) for petroleum refineries and that elect to meet the 
particulate matter (PM) or nickel (Ni) limit in the NESHAP are required 
to monitor the gas flow rate to a wet scrubber. After promulgation, 
industry representatives recommended that we revise the CCU monitoring 
requirements to allow gas flow rate measurements before or after the 
control device. The direct final rule amendments revise the 
requirements in Table 3 to subpart UUU to allow measurement of the gas 
flow rate entering or exiting the control device. This change will 
improve implementation of the NESHAP and avoid unnecessary costs of 
changing current practices. The direct final rule amendments also 
revise the footnotes to Tables 3 and 7 to subpart UUU to change the 
citation for the alternative method for determining gas flow rate from 
40 CFR 63.1573(a) to 40 CFR 63.1573(a)(1) to accommodate the new 
alternative for calculating the volumetric flow rate of exhaust gases 
when computing the PM emissions rate.
    The initial compliance provisions in 40 CFR 63.1564(b)(2) require 
the owner or operator to conduct a performance test for certain CCU 
according to the requirements in Table 4 to subpart UUU. After 
promulgation, industry representatives recommended that we delete the 
sampling rate requirements cited for EPA Method 29 (40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A). According to the commenters, the sampling rate requirement 
is unnecessary because the method already includes appropriate sampling 
requirements. We agree and have deleted the 0.028 dry standard cubic 
meters per minute (dscm/min)/0.74 dry standard cubic feet per minute 
(dscf/min) sampling rate requirement from Table 4 to subpart UUU.

C. What New Procedure Is Available for Determining the Metal or Total 
Chloride Concentration on Catalyst Particles?

    The owner or operator of a CCU subject to a Ni limit for inorganic 
HAP emissions must determine the equilibrium catalyst (E-cat) Ni 
concentration value during the initial performance test and at frequent 
intervals afterward for monitoring requirements. Several methods are 
currently used within the industry for this purpose and are referenced 
in the NESHAP, as well as any alternative method satisfactory to the 
Administrator. Industry experts and vendors recommended that the NESHAP 
allow a new procedure that was not fully developed at the time the 
NESHAP were promulgated. The direct final rule amendments add the new 
procedure, ``Determination of Metal Concentration on Catalyst Particles 
(Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)'' to appendix A of subpart UUU. This 
procedure can be used to analyze catalyst particles (Ni compounds and 
total chlorides) from CCU, CRU, and other processes specified within 
EPA regulations. The direct final rule amendments revise Table 4 to 
subpart UUU to reference the new procedure.

D. What New Alternative is Available for Calculating the Volumetric 
Flow Rate of Exhaust Gases From Catalytic Cracking Units?

    The initial compliance provisions in 40 CFR 63.1564(b)(4) require 
the owner or operator of a CCU subject to the PM limit in the NSPS for 
petroleum refineries to compute the PM emission rate using Equation 1 
of 40 CFR 63.1564. This calculation requires measurement of the 
volumetric flow rate of exhaust gas from the catalyst regenerator 
(``Qr''). The direct final rule amendments revise the 
definition of ``Qr'' to refer to a new alternative procedure 
in 40 CFR 63.1573(a)(2) that can be used to determine the volumetric 
flow rate of exhaust gas. This procedure can be used by plants that 
have a gas analyzer installed in the catalytic cracking regenerator 
exhaust vent prior to the addition of air or other gas streams. The new 
alternative allows measurement of the flow rate after an electrostatic 
precipitator, but requires measurement of the flow rate before a carbon 
monoxide boiler.

E. What New Monitoring Alternative is Available for a Catalytic 
Cracking Unit With a Wet Scrubber if the Unit Is Subject to the New 
Source Performance Standards for Petroleum Refineries?

    The NSPS for petroleum refineries (40 CFR part 60, subpart J) 
require a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) for a fluidized 
CCU to demonstrate continuous compliance with the opacity limit in 40 
CFR 60.102(a)(2). Subpart UUU requires facilities that are already 
subject to the NSPS to meet the NSPS requirements, including the 
opacity limit and COMS requirements.
    Technical experience has shown that COMS are not feasible for wet 
scrubber PM control systems. We have already acknowledged the technical 
problems associated with the use of COMS on wet scrubbers by requiring 
other monitoring methods (CPMS for pressure drop and liquid-to-gas 
ratio). However, these requirements apply under other compliance 
options and not to CCU already subject to the NSPS.
    Some facilities with CCU subject to the NSPS use wet scrubbers to 
meet the PM limit and already have alternative monitoring requirements 
approved under the NSPS. For these reasons, one industry representative 
requested that the NESHAP accept alternative monitoring requirements 
that have already been approved under the NSPS. Therefore, we are 
adding a new paragraph (f) to 40 CFR 63.1573 to provide for use of the 
approved alternative under subpart UUU.
    Monitoring alternatives for CCU subject to the NSPS that have 
already been approved may not meet the criteria for MACT standards. For 
example, the alternative may not include provisions for demonstrating 
continuous compliance such as meeting an operating limit, collecting 
and reducing monitoring data, and recordkeeping/reporting requirements. 
While we cannot automatically approve an alternative that we have not 
seen, we see no reason to require a second formal approval process for 
the same control system and emission limit. To this end, we have added 
procedures for requesting alternative requirements specific to this 
situation.
    We are requiring that an owner or operator submit a copy of the 
approved alternative monitoring method in the notification of 
compliance status (or

[[Page 6933]]

before), along with a brief description of the continuous monitoring 
system, the applicable operating limit, and the continuous compliance 
requirements. We will contact you within 30 calendar days after 
receipt, to tell you if the alternative is approved. This alternative 
does not eliminate your responsibility to comply with the opacity 
limit, which would remain applicable for enforcement purposes. This 
option is not available to facilities that elect to comply with the 
NSPS requirements in subpart UUU. These facilities must request an 
alternative monitoring method under the procedures in 40 CFR 63.8(f).

F. How Are we Clarifying the Emission Limitations for Catalytic 
Reforming Units?

    The requirements for organic HAP emissions in 40 CFR 63.1566(a)(3) 
state that the CRU emissions and operating limits in Tables 15 and 16 
to subpart UUU apply to emissions from process vents that occur during 
depressuring and purging operations. The NESHAP specify in 40 CFR 
63.1566(a)(4) that the limits do not apply to depressurizing and 
purging operations when the reactor vent pressure is 5 pounds per 
square inch (psig) or less. Applicable process vents include those used 
during unit depressurization, purging, coke burn, catalyst 
rejuvenation, and reduction or activation purge. Industry 
representatives noted the current language is unclear as to whether the 
limits apply only to the initial depressurization cycle or include 
subsequent depressuring and purging cycles when the reactor pressure is 
greater than 5 psig. In response, we are amending 40 CFR 63.1566(a)(3) 
to clarify our intent regarding the control of organic HAP emissions 
from CRU depressurizing and purging.
    Our intent in the NESHAP was that the organic HAP requirements 
apply to the initial depressuring and catalyst purging operations that 
occur prior to coke burn-off. Organic HAP emissions are expected during 
the initial depressurization and catalyst purge cycles. No additional 
organic HAP emission controls are used during coke burn-off, beyond the 
combustion process inherent during this process, and our data indicate 
there are minimal organic emissions from coke burn-off and subsequent 
CRU regeneration cycle purges.
    Industry representatives suggested that we limit the applicability 
of the emissions limit to only the initial depressuring and first 
nitrogen purge. We do expect that, after some number of purges, the HAP 
concentration in the purge may be less than the required outlet HAP 
concentration from a combustion control device. Under the NESHAP, all 
purges greater than 5 psig go to a combustion control device (or 
equivalent combustion device), regardless of the HAP concentration in 
the affected stream.
    Initially, we attempted to specify the number of purges to be 
controlled because the organic HAP emissions would generally be very 
low beyond the first or second purge. However, our information 
indicates that the purging processes vary widely (e.g., different 
systems use different purge gases, different purge temperatures, and 
different amounts of purge gas per unit of catalyst). Consequently, 
specifying the number of purges that must be controlled does not 
necessarily reflect a performance level. Additionally, recent data show 
that, for some CRU purge conditions, subsequent purges after the 
initial nitrogen purge may contain substantial amounts of benzene--on 
the order of 100 parts per million by volume (ppmv), which translates 
to emissions of about 1 ton per year (tpy). For other process purging 
conditions, however, subsequent purges have very low levels of HAP. We 
concluded that mandating specific purging conditions would reduce 
operator flexibility and would make compliance, for certain CRU 
processes, to be technically infeasible. We decided, therefore, to 
clarify that uncontrolled purging operations greater than 5 psig are 
acceptable if the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration is less than 
the currently required outlet concentration of a combustion control 
device (i.e., less than 20 ppmv), and to provide compliance options for 
these purges.
    Furthermore, the background information supporting the performance 
achievable by a combustion control device indicates that the 20 ppmv 
emissions limit was established ``by compound exit concentration'' 
rather than by a specified indicator of TOC, such as propane. As the 
primary HAP of concern from these CRU depressuring and purging vents is 
benzene, it is more appropriate to establish the 20 ppmv emission limit 
as hexane (i.e., a C6 hydrocarbon) rather than as propane. 
We are, therefore, changing the CRU TOC concentration requirements 
(which are used as a surrogate for organic HAP) to 20 ppmv TOC or 
nonmethane TOC (dry basis as hexane), corrected to 3 percent oxygen. 
This applies to both the concentration limit for the control device and 
the concentration limit for emissions discharged directly to the 
atmosphere.
    This approach adds compliance options for ``uncontrolled'' purging 
cycles that are greater than 5 psig and less than 20 ppmv TOC (dry 
basis as hexane). First, the purging conditions used by the plant to 
remove organic HAP from the CRU catalyst during controlled purges prior 
to direct release to the atmosphere must be specified in the operation, 
maintenance, and monitoring plan. An initial performance test is 
conducted on the first directly released catalyst purge (following the 
purging conditions specified in the plan) to demonstrate that the 
purges specified in the plan effectively achieve the required emission 
limit. Subsequently, adherence to the purging procedures as specified 
in the plan is used to demonstrate continuous compliance.
    Industry representatives also requested that we clarify the 
emission limits for organic HAP emissions from CRU in 40 CFR 63.1567(a) 
to indicate which limits apply when different reactors in the CRU are 
regenerated in separate regeneration systems. The direct final rule 
amendments state that, in this case, the emission limits in Table 22 to 
subpart UUU apply to each separate regeneration system. The direct 
final rule amendments also clarify that the TOC outlet concentration 
limit is 20 ppmv dry basis as hexane.
    In response to industry comments, we expanded the number of test 
methods that can be use to measure organic HAP emissions. For the 98 
percent mass emission reduction standard, you can use EPA Method 25 in 
40 CFR part 60, appendix A, to directly measure nonmethane TOC as 
carbon or the combination of EPA Methods 25A and 18 in 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A, to determine nonmethane TOC emissions. If the outlet TOC 
concentration is expected to be less than 50 ppmv (as carbon), you can 
use EPA Method 25A to measure the TOC concentration as hexane. For the 
20 ppmv concentration limit, you can measure the TOC concentration 
using EPA Method 25A or determine the nonmethane TOC concentration 
using the combination of Methods 25A and 18. We made changes to the 
equations in 40 CFR 63.1564 and relevant tables to make these 
distinctions. We also added a definition of ``nonmethane TOC'' to 40 
CFR 63.1579.
    The direct final rule amendments also clarify the inorganic HAP 
emission and operating limits to indicate that the requirements apply 
to each applicable CRU process vent during coke burn-off and catalyst 
rejuvenation. In response to industry comments, we are also changing 
the compliance equations in

[[Page 6934]]

40 CFR 63.1567 to allow for hydrogen chloride (HCl) measurements below 
detectable limits of the method after correction for oxygen content.

G. How Are we Changing the Monitoring Requirements for Catalytic 
Reforming Units?

    The NESHAP allow plants to measure and record the pH of the water 
(or scrubbing liquid) exiting the scrubber at least once an hour as an 
alternative to a pH CPMS. After promulgation, industry representatives 
recommended that we allow alkalinity measurements as an alternative to 
pH. Alkalinity measurements are more reliable because they give the 
actual acid content of the water (or scrubbing liquid) while pH 
measurements indicate only how much (more or less) acid is needed. We 
agree and have changed 40 CFR 63.1573(b) to allow plants to measure and 
record the alkalinity of the water (or scrubbing liquid) exiting the 
wet scrubber at least once an hour during coke burn-off and catalyst 
rejuvenation using titration as an alternative to a CPMS. We have also 
changed Tables 23, 24, 25, and 28 to subpart UUU to include the 
alternative for alkalinity measurements. In response to industry 
comments, we have also allowed the pH alternative to apply to CRU 
meeting the HCl percent reduction standard.
    The NESHAP allow plants to measure the catalytic regenerator 
exhaust gas flow rate from a CCU as an approved alternative to a CPMS 
if the unit does not introduce any other gas streams into the catalyst 
regeneration vent (i.e., complete combustion units with no additional 
combustion devices). In response to industry comments, we have expanded 
the alternative in 40 CFR 63.1573(a) to apply to CRU that operate as a 
constant pressure system during the coke burn and rejuvenation cycles.
    After promulgation, industry representatives recommended that we 
also expand the CRU monitoring requirements to allow gas flow rate 
measurements before or after the control device. We agree and have 
changed Tables 24 and 25 of subpart UUU accordingly.
    In response to questions raised at implementation workshops for 
plant personnel, we have added provisions to the performance test 
requirements for CRU to reflect differences among semi-regenerative, 
cyclic, and continuous processes. The direct final rule amendments 
require plants to test semi-regenerative and cyclic units during the 
coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation cycle. However, the tests 
cannot be done during the first hour or the last 6 hours of the cycle 
for a semi-regenerative unit, or during the first hour or the last 2 
hours of the cycle for a cyclic regeneration unit. Plants must conduct 
the performance test for a continuous regeneration unit no sooner than 
3 days after the process unit or control system startup.

H. What New Options Are Available For a Catalytic Reforming Unit With 
an Internal Scrubbing System?

    Industry representatives expressed concern that the NESHAP do not 
contain provisions allowing a CRU with an internal scrubbing system to 
meet the percent reduction standard instead of the concentration limit 
for HCl emissions.
    The direct final rule amendments change the rule language related 
to the HCl emissions limits (and other provisions) by removing the 
phrase ``using a control device.'' These changes allow CRU with an 
internal scrubbing system or alternative emissions reduction technique 
to meet either the percent reduction standard or concentration limit. 
To improve understanding of the NESHAP, we have added a definition for 
``internal scrubbing system.'' The direct final rule amendments also 
add provisions to Tables 23 through 28 to subpart UUU for CRU with an 
internal scrubbing system meeting the HCl percent reduction standard 
and CRU with a fixed-bed or moving-bed gas-solid adsorption system.
    The direct final rule amendments establish operating limits and 
compliance provisions specific to CRU with an internal scrubbing system 
meeting the HCl percent reduction standard. The operating limits 
require plants to maintain the daily average pH or alkalinity of the 
water (or scrubbing liquid) exiting the internal scrubbing system and 
the daily average liquid-to-gas ratio at or above the limit established 
during the performance test. Plants must conduct performance tests to 
demonstrate initial compliance with the applicable HCl emission 
standard and to establish operating limits. Performance test procedures 
are given for each type of system. To demonstrate continuous 
compliance, plants must install, operate, and maintain CPMS to monitor 
during coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation, the daily average pH or 
alkalinity of the water (or scrubbing liquid) exiting the internal 
scrubbing system, and the daily average liquid-to-gas ratio. Plants may 
use pH strips as an approved alternative to a pH CPMS, or discrete 
titration as an alternative to a CPMS for alkalinity.

I. What New Options Are Available For a Catalytic Reforming Unit With a 
Different Type of Control System?

    Industry representatives and technology vendors expressed concern 
that the NESHAP do not include compliance provisions for continuous CRU 
that may use process modifications, pollution prevention control 
techniques, or alternative control systems other than internal or 
external (add-on) wet scrubbers to comply with the emission 
limitations. A refinery process design firm provided data indicating 
that gas-solid adsorption systems can meet the HCl emission limitations 
for CRU. The system also acted as a pollution prevention technique by 
reducing the total amount of chloriding agent needed during catalyst 
regeneration. The direct final rule amendments add provisions to 
accommodate these control scenarios. The new provisions improve the 
NESHAP by encouraging the use of new technologies that meet the MACT 
level of control.
    Plants with a fixed-bed gas-adsorption system must meet two 
operating limits during coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation:
     The daily average temperature of the gas entering or 
exiting the adsorption system must not exceed the limit established 
during the performance test; and
     The HCl concentration in the adsorption system exhaust gas 
must not exceed the limit established during the performance test.
    Plants must conduct a performance test to demonstrate initial 
compliance and to establish operating limits. To demonstrate continuous 
compliance, plants must install, operate, and maintain CPMS to monitor 
the daily average temperature of the gas entering or exiting the 
adsorption system. In addition, plants must monitor HCl during coke 
burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation using a colormetric tube sampling 
system to measure the concentration in the adsorption system exhaust 
and at a point within the adsorbent bed not to exceed 90 percent of the 
total length of the bed. If the HCl concentration at the sampling 
location with the adsorption bed exceeds the operating limit, plants 
must follow the procedures in their operation and maintenance plan. 
These procedures must require, at a minimum, that plants remeasure the 
HCl concentration at both the adsorption system exhaust and at the 
sampling location within the adsorbent bed and replace the sorbent 
material in the bed before the next regeneration cycle if the HCl

[[Page 6935]]

concentration at either location is above the operating limit.
    The direct final rule amendments also establish operating limits 
and compliance provisions for CRU with moving-bed gas-solid adsorption 
systems. The operating limits are:
     The daily average temperature of the gas entering or 
exiting the adsorption system must not exceed the limit established 
during the performance test;
     The weekly average chloride level on the sorbent entering 
the adsorption system must not exceed the design or manufacturer's 
recommended limit (1.35 weight percent for the ChlorsorbTM 
system); and
     The weekly average chloride level on the sorbent exiting 
the adsorption system must not exceed the design or manufacturer's 
recommended limit (1.8 weight percent for the ChlorsorbTM 
system).
    Plants must conduct a performance test to demonstrate initial 
compliance and to establish an operating limit for the daily average 
gas temperature. To demonstrate continuous compliance, plants must 
monitor the daily average gas temperature using a CPMS. To demonstrate 
continuous compliance with the operating limits for chloride level, 
plants must collect and analyze samples of the sorbent entering and 
exiting the system for total chloride concentration using the new 
procedure, ``Determination of Metal Concentration on Catalyst Particles 
(Instrument Analyzer Procedure)'' in appendix A of these direct final 
amendments or the specified methods in EPA Publication No. SW-846, 
``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods'' 
(Revision 5, April 1998). Plants must determine and record the weekly 
chloride content and maintain the weekly average chloride content below 
the design operating limits.

J. How Are We Changing The Requirements For Continuous Parameter 
Monitoring Systems?

    The technical specifications for CPMS in Table 41 to subpart UUU 
were added to the NESHAP after proposal based on provisions we have 
included in other NESHAP. We included these provisions to ensure that 
CPMS are installed, calibrated, and operated in a manner that would 
yield accurate and reliable information on the performance of control 
devices. Industry representatives objected to the inclusion of such 
detailed requirements after proposal with no opportunity to comment on 
the provisions.
    We have decided not to include the performance specifications for 
CPMS in the rule at this time. As discussed in the preamble to the 
Generic MACT NESHAP amendments (67 FR 46260, July 12, 2002), we are 
currently developing Performance Specification (PS-17) for CPMS and 
quality assurance procedures that will apply to all sources subject to 
NESHAP under 40 CFR part 63. A proposed rule for these specifications 
is expected to be available in 2005. This approach will avoid the 
possibility that the specifications ultimately issued for all NESHAP 
differ significantly from those in the Petroleum Refineries NESHAP.
    The NESHAP state that each CPMS must be installed, operated, and 
maintained according to the requirements in Table 41 of subpart UUU and 
in a manner consistent with the manufacturer's or other written 
procedures that provide adequate assurance that the equipment will 
monitor accurately. The amendments remove the reference to Table 41 
from 40 CFR 63.1572(c) for those CPMS that will be covered by PS-17 and 
quality assurance procedures. Until PS-17 is available, facilities must 
install, operate, and maintain CPMS in a manner consistent with the 
manufacturer's or other written procedures that provide adequate 
assurance that the equipment will monitor accurately.
    Table 41 to subpart UUU also contains requirements for pH strips 
and colormetric sampling systems. These requirements were added to the 
NESHAP in response to comments and are not expected to be covered by 
the new PS-17 and quality assurance procedures. Consequently, we have 
not removed these requirements from the table.

K. What Corrections Are We Making?

    We are correcting numbering errors and citations in several 
sections of the NESHAP. We are also amending the rule to correct 
publication errors in various tables.
    We are correcting a unit conversion error in Tables 1 through 3 to 
subpart UUU. These tables cite the incremental PM emission rate for 
discharged gases that pass through an incinerator or waste heat boiler 
in which auxiliary or supplemental liquid or solid fossil fuel is 
burned as 43.0 grams per Megajoule of heat input attributable to the 
liquid or solid fossil fuel. The corrected value is 43.0 grams per 
Gigajoule; no change is being made to the English unit equivalent limit 
(0.10 pound per million British thermal units). We are making several 
minor corrections to these tables to ensure that both limits are cited 
consistently and accurately.
    We are correcting Table 5 to subpart UUU to list the proper test 
methods required for PM performance tests for metal HAP emissions. The 
amended table requires EPA Method 5B or 5F (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) 
to determine PM emissions and associated moisture content for a unit 
without a wet scrubber; EPA Method 5B is required to determine PM 
emissions and associated moisture content for a unit with a wet 
scrubber.
    We are correcting Table 6 to subpart UUU to specify the use of 
Equation 1 (the proper equation for calculation of coke burn-off) 
rather than Equation 2.
    We are correcting Table 18 to subpart UUU to correct a 
typographical error in a cross reference to certain requirements for 
flares in the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A).
    We are correcting Tables 31, 33, and 34 to subpart UUU to clarify 
the monitoring and compliance requirements for a sulfur recovery unit 
subject to the TRS limit. Under this option, the owner or operator may 
use a TRS continuous emission monitoring system or CPMS, and the 
continuous compliance requirements depend on the type of monitoring 
system. The direct final rule amendments separate the requirements 
according to the type of monitoring system and clarify that compliance 
is based on a 12-hour rolling average like the NSPS requirements.
    We also are clarifying our comment in the explanation column of 
Table 44 for the citation 40 CFR 63.6(i), which allows facilities to 
request a 1-year extension of compliance if necessary to install 
controls. We are revising the table to state that the extension of 
compliance under 40 CFR 63.6(i)(4) is not applicable to a facility that 
installs catalytic cracking feed hydrotreating and receives an extended 
compliance date under 40 CFR 63.1563(c). We are also revising Table 44 
to subpart UUU to change the citation to 40 CFR 63.9(b)(3) to indicate 
its current reserved status under the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR 
part 63).

III. Summary of Non-Air Health, Environmental, Energy, and Cost Impacts

    The NESHAP will reduce emissions of many HAP emitted from the 
affected sources at petroleum refineries, including particulate metals, 
organics, and reduced sulfur compounds. When fully implemented, we 
estimate that HAP emissions will be reduced by nearly 11,000 tpy. 
Emissions of other pollutants such as volatile organic

[[Page 6936]]

compounds, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide 
will be reduced by about 60,000 tpy.
    There will not be any adverse non-air health, environmental, 
energy, cost (or economic) impacts as a result of the direct final rule 
amendments because no new requirements are imposed on any facility. The 
new option for CRU will allow for the use of new control technology to 
meet the HCl emission limitations, which may reduce the costs and 
energy impacts of add-on controls.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 5173, October 4, 1993), the EPA 
must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant'' and, 
therefore, subject to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and 
the requirements of the Executive Order. The Executive Order defines 
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in 
standards that may:
    (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or 
adversely affect, in a material way, the economy, 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 entitlement, 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.
    It has been determined that the direct final rule amendments are 
not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the terms of Executive 
Order 12866 and are, therefore, not subject to OMB review.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden. 
The direct final rule amendments consist primarily of new compliance 
options, clarifications, and corrections to the NESHAP that impose no 
new information collection requirements on industry or EPA. However, 
the OMB has previously approved the information collection requirements 
in the existing regulation (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU) under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., and 
has assigned OMB control number 2060-0554, EPA Information Collection 
Request (ICR) number 1844.02. A copy of the OMB approved ICR may be 
obtained from Susan Auby, Collection Strategies Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (2822T), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 
Washington, DC 20460 or by calling (202) 566-1672.
    Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources 
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time 
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize 
technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and 
verifying information; processing and maintaining information, and 
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to 
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 
train personnel to respond to a collection of information; search data 
sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations in 40 CFR part 63 are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The EPA has determined that it is not necessary to prepare a 
regulatory flexibility analysis in connection with the direct final 
rule amendments.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's direct final rule 
amendments on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small 
business as defined by the Small Business Administration's regulations 
at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a 
government of a city, county, town, school district or special district 
with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization 
that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and 
operated and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impact of today's direct final rule 
amendments on small entities, the EPA has concluded that this action 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. In determining whether a rule has a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, the impact 
of concern is any significant adverse economic impact on small 
entities, since the primary purpose of the regulatory flexibility 
analyses is to identify and address regulatory alternatives ``which 
minimize any significant economic impact of the proposed rule on small 
entities'' (5 U.S.C. 603 and 604). Thus, an agency may conclude that a 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, or 
otherwise has a positive economic effect on all of the small entities 
subject to the rule.
    There will be a positive impact on small entities because the 
direct final rule amendments add new compliance provisions to increase 
flexibility, decrease unnecessary costs, and make clarifying changes to 
improve implementation of the NESHAP. These changes are voluntary and 
do not impose new costs. We have, therefore, concluded that today's 
direct final rule amendments will relieve regulatory burden for all 
small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the 
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal 
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, the 
EPA generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-
benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal 
mandates'' that may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal 
governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 
million or more in any 1 year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for 
which a written statement is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally 
requires the EPA to identify and consider a reasonable number of 
regulatory alternatives and adopt the least costly, most cost-effective 
or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the 
rule. The provisions of section 205 do not apply when they are 
inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover, section 205 allows the EPA 
to adopt an alternative other than the least costly, most cost-
effective, or least burdensome alternative if the Administrator 
publishes with the final rule an explanation why that alternative was 
not adopted. Before the EPA establishes any regulatory requirements 
that may significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including 
tribal governments, it must have developed under section 203 of the 
UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must provide for 
notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling officials of 
affected small governments

[[Page 6937]]

to have meaningful and timely input in the development of EPA 
regulatory proposals with significant Federal intergovernmental 
mandates, and informing, educating, and advising small governments on 
compliance with the regulatory requirements.
    The EPA has determined that the direct final rule amendments do not 
contain a Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 
million or more for State, local, and tribal governments, in aggregate, 
or the private sector in any 1 year. No new costs are attributable to 
the direct final rule amendments. Thus, today's direct final rule 
amendments are not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 
of the UMRA. The EPA has also determined that the direct final rule 
amendments contain no regulatory requirements that might significantly 
or uniquely affect small governments because they contain no 
requirements that apply to such governments or impose obligations upon 
them. Thus, the direct final rule amendments are not subject to the 
requirements of section 203 of the UMRA.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) requires EPA 
to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely 
input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory 
policies that have federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have 
federalism implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include 
regulations that have ``substantial direct effects on the States, on 
the relationship between the national government and the States, or on 
the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels 
of government.''
    The direct final rule amendments do not have federalism 
implications. They will not have substantial direct effects on the 
States, on the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132, 
because State and local governments do not own or operate any sources 
that would be subject to the direct final rule amendments. Thus, 
Executive Order 13132 does not apply to the direct final rule 
amendments.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000) requires EPA 
to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely 
input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies 
that have tribal implications.'' The direct final rule amendments do 
not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175, 
because tribal governments do not own or operate any sources subject to 
the direct final rule amendments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 
apply to the direct final rule amendments.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health & Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies to any 
rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant,'' as 
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental 
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a 
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets 
both criteria, we must evaluate the environmental health or safety 
effects of the planned rule on children and explain why the planned 
regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably 
feasible alternatives.
    We interpret Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those 
regulatory actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that 
the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Executive Order has 
the potential to influence the regulation. The direct final rule 
amendments are not subject to Executive Order 13045 because the NESHAP 
(and subsequent amendments) are based on technology performance and not 
on health or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy, 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    The direct final rule amendments are not subject to Executive Order 
13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because they are not a significant 
regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, Sec.  12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 
note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in the 
regulatory and procurement activities unless to do so would be 
inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable. Voluntary 
consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., material 
specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, business practices) 
developed or adopted by one or more voluntary consensus bodies. The 
NTTAA requires Federal agencies to provide Congress, through annual 
reports to OMB, with explanations when an agency does not use available 
and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    The direct final rule amendments include a new procedure, 
``Determination of Metal Concentration on Catalyst Particles 
(Instrumental Analyzer Procedure).'' This procedure was developed in 
consultation with industry experts and equipment vendors for the 
purpose of determining the metal or total chloride concentration on 
catalyst particles. This new procedure was not fully developed at the 
time the NESHAP were issued and reflects current practices used by many 
plants within the industry. The new procedure is not mandatory; plants 
also may use one of several existing EPA methods in ``Test Methods for 
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods'' (EPA Publication 
SW-846, Revision 5, April 1998) or an alternative method satisfactory 
to the Administrator.
    Consistent with the NTTAA, we conducted a search to identify 
voluntary consensus standards for use in determining the metal or total 
chloride concentration on catalyst particles. This search identified 
one voluntary consensus standard, ASTM D7085-04, ``Standard Guide for 
Determination of Chemical Elements in Fluid Catalytic Cracking 
Catalysts by X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF).'' This method 
contains detailed sample preparation procedures that may be a useful 
supplement to the instrumental method included in the direct final rule 
amendments. However, we have not adopted ASTM D7085-04 as an 
alternative to the instrumental method because the method does not 
include equivalent procedures for determining zero and calibration 
drift, instrument energy calibration, and calibration accuracy, or 
specific quality assurance procedures for analyzing calibration 
standards or catalyst samples.

J. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this rule and 
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller

[[Page 6938]]

General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the 
Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
U.S.C. 804(2). The direct final rule amendments will be effective on 
April 11, 2005.

applies to you. If you operate a catalytic reforming unit in which 
different reactors in the catalytic reforming unit are regenerated in 
separate regeneration systems, then these emission limitations apply to 
each separate regeneration system. These emission limitations apply to 
emissions from catalytic reforming unit process vents associated with 
the coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation operations during coke 
burn-off and catalyst regeneration. You can choose from the two options 
in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (ii) of this section:

b. Adding new paragraph (f).
    The revisions and addition read as follows:


Sec.  63.1573  What are my monitoring alternatives?

    (a) What are the approved alternatives for measuring gas flow rate? 
(1) You may use this alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring 
system for the catalytic regenerator exhaust gas flow rate for your 
catalytic cracking unit if the unit does not introduce any other gas 
streams into the catalyst regeneration vent (i.e., complete combustion 
units with no additional combustion devices). You may also use this 
alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring system for the 
catalytic regenerator atmospheric exhaust gas flow rate for your 
catalytic reforming unit during the coke burn and rejuvenation cycles 
if the unit operates as a constant pressure system during these cycles. 
If you use this alternative, you shall use the same procedure for the 
performance test and for monitoring after the performance test. You 
shall:
    (i) Install and operate a continuous parameter monitoring system to 
measure and record the hourly average volumetric air flow rate to the 
catalytic cracking unit or catalytic reforming unit regenerator. Or, 
you may determine and record the hourly average volumetric air flow 
rate to the catalytic cracking unit or catalytic reforming unit 
regenerator using the appropriate control room instrumentation.
    (ii) Install and operate a continuous parameter monitoring system 
to measure and record the temperature of the gases entering the control 
device (or exiting the catalyst regenerator if you do not use an add-on 
control device).
    (iii) Calculate and record the hourly average actual exhaust gas 
flow rate using Equation 1 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR09FE05.008


Where:
Q gas = Hourly average actual gas flow rate, acfm;
1.12 = Default correction factor to convert gas flow from dry standard 
cubic feet per minute (dscfm) to standard cubic feet per minute (scfm);
Q air = Volumetric flow rate of air to regenerator, as 
determined from the control room instrumentations, dscfm;
Q other = Volumetric flow rate of other gases entering the 
regenerator as determined from the control room instrumentations, 
dscfm. (Examples of ``other'' gases include an oxygen-enriched air 
stream to catalytic cracking unit regenerators and a nitrogen stream to 
catalytic reforming unit regenerators.);
Tempgas = Temperature of gas stream in vent measured as near 
as practical to the control device or opacity monitor, [deg]K. For wet 
scrubbers, temperature of gas prior to the wet scrubber; and
Pvent = Absolute pressure in the vent measured as near as 
practical to the control device or opacity monitor, as applicable, atm. 
When used to assess the gas flow rate in the final atmospheric vent 
stack, you can assume Pvent = 1 atm.

    (2) You may use this alternative to calculating Q r, the 
volumetric flow rate of exhaust gas for the catalytic cracking 
regenerator as required in Equation 1 of Sec.  63.1564, if you have a 
gas analyzer installed in the catalytic cracking regenerator exhaust 
vent prior to the addition of air or other gas streams. You may measure 
upstream or downstream of an electrostatic precipitator, but you shall 
measure upstream of a carbon monoxide boiler. You shall:
    (i) Install and operate a continuous parameter monitoring system to 
measure and record the hourly average volumetric air flow rate to the 
catalytic cracking unit regenerator. Or, you can determine and record 
the hourly average volumetric air flow rate to the catalytic cracking 
unit regenerator using the catalytic cracking unit control room 
instrumentation.
    (ii) Install and operate a continuous gas analyzer to measure and 
record the concentration of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and oxygen 
of the catalytic cracking regenerator exhaust.
    (iii) Calculate and record the hourly average flow rate using 
Equation 2 of this section as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR09FE05.009


[[Page 6941]]



Where:
Q r = Volumetric flow rate of exhaust gas from the catalyst 
regenerator before adding air or gas streams, dscm/min (dscf/min);
79 = Default concentration of nitrogen and argon in dry air, percent by 
volume (dry basis);
%Oxy = Oxygen concentration in oxygen-enriched air stream, 
percent by volume (dry basis);
Q oxy = Volumetric flow rate of oxygen-enriched air stream 
to regenerator as determined from the catalytic cracking unit control 
room instrumentations, dscm/min (dscf/min);
%CO2 = Carbon dioxide concentration in regenerator exhaust, 
percent by volume (dry basis);
CO = Carbon monoxide concentration in regenerator exhaust, percent by 
volume (dry basis); and
%O2 = Oxygen concentration in regenerator exhaust, percent 
by volume (dry basis).

    (b) What is the approved alternative for monitoring pH or 
alkalinity levels? You may use the alternative in paragraph (b)(1) or 
(2) of this section for a catalytic reforming unit.
    (1) You shall measure and record the pH of the water (or scrubbing 
liquid) exiting the wet scrubber or internal scrubbing system at least 
once an hour during coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation using pH 
strips as an alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring system. 
The pH strips must meet the requirements in Table 41 of this subpart.
    (2) You shall measure and record the alkalinity of the water (or 
scrubbing liquid) exiting the wet scrubber or internal scrubbing system 
at least once an hour during coke burn-off and catalyst rejuvenation 
using titration as an alternative to a continuous parameter monitoring 
system.
* * * * *
    (f) How do I apply for alternative monitoring requirements if my 
catalytic cracking unit is equipped with a wet scrubber and I have 
approved alternative monitoring requirements under the new source 
performance standards for petroleum refineries?
    (1) You may request alternative monitoring requirements according 
to the procedures in this paragraph if you meet each of the conditions 
in paragraphs (f)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section:
    (i) Your fluid catalytic cracking unit regenerator vent is subject 
to the PM limit in 40 CFR 60.102(a)(1) and uses a wet scrubber for PM 
emissions control;
    (ii) You have alternative monitoring requirements for the 
continuous opacity monitoring system requirement in 40 CFR 60.105(a)(1) 
approved by the Administrator; and
    (iii) You are required by this subpart to install, operate, and 
maintain a continuous opacity monitoring system for the same catalytic 
cracking unit regenerator vent for which you have approved alternative 
monitoring requirements.
    (2) You can request approval to use an alternative monitoring 
method prior to submitting your notification of compliance status, in 
your notification of compliance status, or at any time.
    (3) You must submit a copy of the approved alternative monitoring 
requirements along with a monitoring plan that includes a description 
of the continuous monitoring system or method, including appropriate 
operating parameters that will be monitored, test results demonstrating 
compliance with the opacity limit used to establish an enforceable 
operating limit(s), and the frequency of measuring and recording to 
establish continuous compliance. If applicable, you must also include 
operation and maintenance requirements for the continuous monitoring 
system.
    (4) We will contact you within 30 days of receipt of your 
application to inform you of approval or of our intent to disapprove 
your request.

c. Revising the first sentence of paragraph (f) introductory text, 
revising paragraph (f)(2) introductory text, revising paragraphs 
(f)(2)(vi) and (f)(2)(x), and adding new paragraphs (f)(2)(xi) and 
(xii).
    The revisions read as follows:


Sec.  63.1574  What notifications must I submit and when?

    (a) * * *
    (3) * * *
    (ii) For each initial compliance demonstration that includes a 
performance test, you must submit the notification of compliance 
status, including the performance test results, no later than 150 
calendar days after the compliance date specified for your affected 
source in Sec.  63.1563.
* * * * *
    (c) If you startup your new or reconstructed affected source on or 
after April 11, 2002, you must submit the initial notification no later 
than 120 days after you become subject to this subpart.
* * * * *
    (f) As required by this subpart, you must prepare and implement an 
operation, maintenance, and monitoring plan for each control system and 
continuous monitoring system for each affected source. * * *
    (2) Each plan must include, at a minimum, the information specified 
in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) through (xii) of this section.
* * * * *
    (vi) Procedures you will use to determine the HCl concentration of 
gases from a catalytic reforming unit when you use a colormetric tube 
sampling system, including procedures for correcting for pressure (if 
applicable to the sampling equipment) and the sampling locations that 
will be used for compliance monitoring purposes.
* * * * *
    (x) Maintenance schedule for each monitoring system and control 
device for each affected source that is generally consistent with the 
manufacturer's instructions for routine and long-term maintenance.
    (xi) If you use a fixed-bed gas-solid adsorption system to control 
emissions from a catalytic reforming unit, you must implement 
corrective action procedures if the HCl concentration measured at the 
selected compliance monitoring sampling location within the bed exceeds 
the operating limit. These procedures must require, at minimum, repeat 
measurement and recording of the HCl concentration in the adsorption 
system exhaust gases and at the selected compliance monitoring sampling 
location within the bed. If the HCl concentration at the selected 
compliance monitoring location within the bed is above the operating 
limit during the repeat measurement while the HCl concentration in the 
adsorption system exhaust gases remains below the operating limit, the 
adsorption bed must be replaced as soon as practicable. Your procedures 
must specify the sampling frequency that will be used to monitor the 
HCl concentration in the adsorption system exhaust gases subsequent to 
the repeat measurement and prior to replacement of the sorbent material 
(but not less frequent than once every 4 hours during coke burn-off). 
If the HCl concentration of the adsorption system exhaust gases is 
above the operating limit when measured at any time, the adsorption bed 
must be replaced within 24 hours or before the next regeneration cycle, 
whichever is longer.
    (xii) Procedures that will be used for purging the catalyst if you 
do not use a control device to comply with the organic HAP emission 
limits for catalytic reforming units. These procedures will include, 
but are not limited to, specification of the minimum

[[Page 6942]]

catalyst temperature and the minimum cumulative volume of gas per mass 
of catalyst used for purging prior to uncontrolled releases (i.e., 
during controlled purging events); the maximum purge gas temperature 
for uncontrolled purge events; and specification of the monitoring 
systems that will be used to monitor and record data during each purge 
event.

Appendix A To Subpart UUU of Part 63--Determination of Metal 
Concentration on Catalyst Particles (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)

1.0 Scope and Application.

    1.1 Analytes. The analytes for which this method is applicable 
include any elements with an atomic number between 11 (sodium) and 
92 (uranium), inclusive. Specific analytes for which this method was 
developed include:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                     Minimum detectable

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

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable to the 
determination of analyte concentrations on catalyst particles. This 
method is applicable for catalyst particles obtained from the fluid 
catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) regenerator (i.e., equilibrium 
catalyst), from air pollution control systems operated for the FCCU 
catalyst regenerator vent (FCCU fines), from catalytic reforming 
units (CRU), and other processes as specified within an applicable 
regulation. This method is applicable only when specified within the 
regulation.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of 
this method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from the 
analytical method.

2.0 Summary of Method.

    2.1 A representative sample of catalyst particles is collected, 
prepared, and analyzed for analyte concentration using either energy 
or wavelength dispersive X-ray flourescent (XRF) spectrometry 
instrumental analyzers. In both types of XRF spectrometers, the 
instrument irradiates the sample with high energy (primary) x-rays 
and the elements in

[[Page 6971]]

the sample absorb the x-rays and then re-emit secondary 
(fluorescent) x-rays of characteristic wavelengths for each element 
present. In energy dispersive XRF spectrometers, all secondary x-
rays (of all wavelengths) enter the detector at once. The detector 
registers an electric current having a height proportional to the 
photon energy, and these pulses are then separated electronically, 
using a pulse analyzer. In wavelength dispersive XRF spectrometers, 
the secondary x-rays are dispersed spatially by crystal diffraction 
on the basis of wavelength. The crystal and detector are made to 
synchronously rotate and the detector then receives only one 
wavelength at a time. The intensity of the x-rays emitted by each 
element is proportional to its concentration, after correcting for 
matrix effects. For nickel compounds and total chlorides, the XRF 
instrument response is expected to be linear to analyte 
concentration. Performance specifications and test procedures are 
provided to ensure reliable data.

3.0 Definitions.

    3.1 Measurement System. The total equipment required for the 
determination of analyte concentration. The measurement system 
consists of the following major subsystems:
    3.1.1 Sample Preparation. That portion of a system used for one 
or more of the following: sample acquisition, sample transport, 
sample conditioning, or sample preparation prior to introducing the 
sample into the analyzer.
    3.1.2 Analyzer. That portion of the system that senses the 
analyte to be measured and generates an output proportional to its 
concentration.
    3.1.3 Data Recorder. A digital recorder or personal computer 
used for recording measurement data from the analyzer output.
    3.2 Span. The upper limit of the gas concentration measurement 
range displayed on the data recorder.
    3.3 Calibration Standards. Prepared catalyst samples or other 
samples of known analyte concentrations used to calibrate the 
analyzer and to assess calibration drift.
    3.4 Energy Calibration Standard. Calibration standard, generally 
provided by the XRF instrument manufacturer, used for assuring 
accuracy of the energy scale.
    3.5 Accuracy Assessment Standard. Prepared catalyst sample or 
other sample of known analyte concentrations used to assess analyzer 
accuracy error.
    3.6 Zero Drift. The difference in the measurement system output 
reading from the initial value for zero concentration level 
calibration standard after a stated period of operation during which 
no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or adjustment took place.
    3.7 Calibration Drift. The difference in the measurement system 
output reading from the initial value for the mid-range calibration 
standard after a stated period of operation during which no 
unscheduled maintenance, repair, or adjustment took place.
    3.8 Spectral Interferences. Analytical interferences and 
excessive biases caused by elemental peak overlap, escape peak, and 
sum peak interferences between elements in the samples.
    3.9 Calibration Curve. A graph or other systematic method of 
establishing the relationship between the analyzer response and the 
actual analyte concentration introduced to the analyzer.
    3.10 Analyzer Accuracy Error. The difference in the measurement 
system output reading and the ideal value for the accuracy 
assessment standard.

4.0 Interferences.

    4.1 Spectral interferences with analyte line intensity 
determination are accounted for within the method program. No action 
is required by the XRF operator once these interferences have been 
addressed within the method.
    4.2 The X-ray production efficiency is affected by particle size 
for the very lightest elements. However, particulate matter (PM) 2.5 
particle size effects are substantially < 1 percent for most 
elements. The calibration standards should be prepared with material 
of similar particle size or be processed (ground) to produce 
material of similar particle size as the catalyst samples to be 
analyzed. No additional correction for particle size is performed. 
Alternatively, the sample can be fused in order to eliminate any 
potential particle size effects.

5.0 Safety.

    5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials, 
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of 
the safety problems associated with its use. It is the 
responsibility of the user of this test method to establish 
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the 
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to performing this 
test method.
    5.2 X-ray Exposure. The XRF uses X-rays; XRF operators should 
follow instrument manufacturer's guidelines to protect from 
accidental exposure to X-rays when the instrument is in operation.
    5.3 Beryllium Window. In most XRF units, a beryllium (Be) window 
is present to separate the sample chamber from the X-ray tube and 
detector. The window is very fragile and brittle. Do not allow 
sample or debris to fall onto the window, and avoid using compressed 
air to clean the window because it will cause the window to rupture. 
If the window should rupture, note that Be metal is poisonous. Use 
extreme caution when collecting pieces of Be and consult the 
instrument manufacturer for advice on cleanup of the broken window 
and replacement.

6.0 Equipment and Supplies.

    6.1 Measurement System. Use any measurement system that meets 
the specifications of this method listed in section 13. The typical 
components of the measurement system are described below.
    6.1.1 Sample Mixer/Mill. Stainless steel, or equivalent to 
grind/mix catalyst and binders, if used, to produce uniform particle 
samples.
    6.1.2 Sample Press/Fluxer. Stainless steel, or equivalent to 
produce pellets of sufficient size to fill analyzer sample window, 
or alternatively, a fusion device capable of preparing a fused disk 
of sufficient size to fill analyzer sample window.
    6.1.3 Analytical Balance. 0.0001 gram accuracy for 
weighing prepared samples (pellets).
    6.1.4 Analyzer. An XRF spectrometer to determine the analyte 
concentration in the prepared sample. The analyzer must meet the 
applicable performance specifications in section 13.
    6.1.5 Data Recorder. A digital recorder or personal computer for 
recording measurement data. The data recorder resolution (i.e., 
readability) must be 0.5 percent of span. Alternatively, a digital 
or analog meter having a resolution of 0.5 percent of span may be 
used to obtain the analyzer responses and the readings may be 
recorded manually.

7.0 Reagents and Standards.

    7.1 Calibration Standards. The calibration standards for the 
analyzer must be prepared catalyst samples or other material of 
similar particle size and matrix as the catalyst samples to be 
tested that have known concentrations of the analytes of interest. 
Preparation (grinding/milling/fusion) of the calibration standards 
should follow the same processes used to prepare the catalyst 
samples to be tested. The calibration standards values must be 
established as the average of a minimum of three analyses using an 
approved EPA or ASTM method with instrument analyzer calibrations 
traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology 
(NIST), if available. The maximum percent deviation of the 
triplicate calibration standard analyses should agree within 10 
percent of the average value for the triplicate analysis (see Figure 
1). If the calibration analyses do not meet this criteria, the 
calibration standards must be re-analyzed. If unacceptable 
variability persists, new calibration standards must be prepared. 
Approved methods for the calibration standard analyses include, but 
are not limited to, EPA Methods 6010B, 6020, 7520, or 7521 of SW-
846.\1\ Use a minimum of four calibration standards as specified 
below (see Figure 1):
    7.1.1 High-Range Calibration Standard. Concentration equivalent 
to 80 to 100 percent of the span. The concentration of the high-
range calibration standard should exceed the maximum concentration 
anticipated in the catalyst samples.
    7.1.2 Mid-Range Calibration Standard. Concentration equivalent 
to 40 to 60 percent of the span.
    7.1.3 Low-Range Calibration Standard. Concentration equivalent 
to 1 to 20 percent of the span. The concentration of the low-range 
calibration standard should be selected so that it is less than 
either one-forth of the applicable concentration limit or of the 
lowest concentration anticipated in the catalyst samples.
    7.1.4 Zero Calibration Standard. Concentration of less than 0.25 
percent of the span.
    7.2 Accuracy Assessment Standard. Prepare an accuracy assessment 
standard and determine the ideal value for the accuracy assessment 
standard following the same procedures used to prepare and analyze 
the

[[Page 6972]]

calibration standards as described in section 7.1. The maximum 
percent deviation of the triplicate accuracy assessment standard 
analyses should agree within 10 percent of the average value for the 
triplicate analysis (see Figure 1). The concentration equivalent of 
the accuracy assessment standard must be between 20 and 80 percent 
of the span.
    7.3 Energy Calibration Standard. Generally, the energy 
calibration standard will be provided by the XRF instrument 
manufacturer for energy dispersive spectrometers. Energy calibration 
is performed using the manufacturer's recommended calibration 
standard and involves measurement of a specific energy line (based 
on the metal in the energy calibration standard). This is generally 
an automated procedure used to assure the accuracy of the energy 
scale. This calibration standard may not be applicable to all models 
of XRF spectrometers (particularly wavelength dispersive XRF 
spectrometers).

8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage. 
[Reserved]

9.0 Quality Control.

    9.1 Energy Calibration. For energy dispersive spectrometers, 
conduct the energy calibration by analyzing the energy calibration 
standard provided by the manufacturer. The energy calibration 
involves measurement of a specific energy line (based on the metal 
in the energy calibration standard) and then determination of the 
difference between the measured peak energy value and the ideal 
value. This analysis, if applicable, should be performed daily prior 
to any sample analyses to check the instrument's energy scale. This 
is generally an automated procedure and assures the accuracy of the 
energy scale. If the energy scale calibration process is not 
automated, follow the manufacturer's procedures to manually adjust 
the instrument, as necessary.
    9.2 Zero Drift Test. Conduct the zero drift test by analyzing 
the analyte concentration output by the measurement system with the 
initial calibration value for the zero calibration standard (see 
Figure 2). This analysis should be performed with each set of 
samples analyzed.
    9.3 Calibration Drift Test. Conduct the calibration drift test 
by analyzing the analyte concentration output by the measurement 
system with the initial calibration value for the mid-range 
calibration standard (see Figure 2). This analysis should be 
performed with each set of samples analyzed.
    9.4 Analyzer Accuracy Test. Conduct the analyzer accuracy test 
by analyzing the accuracy assessment standard and comparing the 
value output by the measurement system with the ideal value for the 
accuracy assessment standard (see Figure 2). This analysis should be 
performed with each set of samples analyzed.

10.0 Calibration and Standardization.

    10.1 Perform the initial calibration and set-up following the 
instrument manufacturer's instructions. These procedures should 
include, at a minimum, the major steps listed in sections 10.2 and 
10.3. Subsequent calibrations are to be performed when either a 
quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) limit listed in section 13 
is exceeded or when there is a change in the excitation conditions, 
such as a change in the tube, detector, X-ray filters, or signal 
processor. Calibrations are typically valid for 6 months to 1 year.
    10.2 Instrument Calibration. Calibration is performed initially 
with calibration standards of similar matrix and binders, if used, 
as the samples to be analyzed (see Figure 1).
    10.3 Reference Peak Spectra. Acquisition of reference spectra is 
required only during the initial calibration. As long as no 
processing methods have changed, these peak shape references remain 
valid. This procedure consists of placing the standards in the 
instrument and acquiring individual elemental spectra that are 
stored in the method file with each of the analytical conditions. 
These reference spectra are used in the standard deconvolution of 
the unknown spectra.

11.0 Analytical Procedure.

    11.1 Sample Preparation. Prepare catalyst samples using the same 
procedure used to prepare the calibration standards. Measure and 
record the weight of sample used. Measure and record the amount of 
binder, if any, used. Pellets or films must be of sufficient size to 
cover the analyzer sample window.
    11.2 Sample Analyses. Place the prepared catalyst samples into 
the analyzer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for analyzing 
the samples.
    11.3 Record and Store Data. Use a digital recorder or personal 
computer to record and store results for each sample. Record any 
mechanical or software problems encountered during the analysis.

12.0 Data Analysis and Calculations.

    Carry out the following calculations, retaining at least one 
extra significant figure beyond that of the acquired data. Round off 
figures after final calculation.
    12.1 Drift. Calculate the zero and calibration drift for the 
tests described in sections 9.2 and 9.3 (see also Figure 2) as 
follows:

sample analyses;
InitialCal.Response = Initial instrument response for calibration 
standard;

Where:
    Accuracy Value = Percent difference of instrument response to 
the ideal response for the accuracy assessment standard;
CurrentAnalyzerCal.Response = Instrument response for current QC 
sample analyses;
IdealCal.Response = Ideal instrument response for the accuracy 
assessment standard.

13.0 Method Performance.

    13.1 Analytical Range. The analytical range is determined by the 
instrument design. For this method, a portion of the analytical 
range is selected by choosing the span of the monitoring system. The 
span of the monitoring system must be selected such that it 
encompasses the range of concentrations anticipated to occur in the 
catalyst sample. If applicable, the span must be selected such that 
the analyte concentration equivalent to the emission standard is not 
less than 30 percent of the span. If the measured analyte 
concentration exceeds the concentration of the high-range 
calibration standard, the sample analysis is considered invalid. 
Additionally, if the measured analyte concentration is less than the 
concentration of the low-range calibration standard but above the 
detectable limit, the sample analysis results must be flagged with a 
footnote stating, in effect, that the analyte was detected but that 
the reported concentration is below the lower quantitation limit.
    13.2 Minimum Detectable Limit. The minimum detectable limit 
depends on the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement system. For 
a well-designed system, the minimum detectable limit should be less 
than 2 percent of the span.

    13.3 Zero Drift. Less than 2 percent of the span.
    13.4 Calibration Drift. Less than 5 percent of the 
span.
    13.5 Analyzer Accuracy Error. Less than 10 percent.
