Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified 
Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural 
Gas Sector Climate Review: Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Interim final rule; correction; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking 
interim final action on technical corrections to three regulations 
recently finalized within ``Standards of Performance for New, 
Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for 
Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review,'' 
(hereafter ``final rule''), published March 8, 2024. Following 
publication of the final rule, the EPA identified, through its own 
internal reassessment of the regulatory text, as well as through 
communications with stakeholders and the Office of Federal Register, 
erroneous cross-references and typographical errors within the 
regulatory text. Through those same processes, the EPA also identified 
the need for some minor wording changes to clarify erroneous language 
(or, in some cases, erroneous omissions) in the regulatory text and/or 
to ensure that the regulatory text aligns with the descriptions of the 
relevant provisions in the final rule preamble and other parts of the 
regulation(s). The corrections being made in this action are minor and 
non-substantive in nature and are being made to address inadvertent 
errors in the final rule. The EPA is requesting comments on all aspects 
of this interim final rule.

DATES: This rule is effective on August 1, 2024. Comments on this 
interim final rule must be received on or before September 3, 2024.

C. Statutory Authority

    Statutory authority to issue the amendments finalized in this 
action is provided by the same CAA provisions that provided authority 
to issue the regulations being amended: CAA section 111(b)(1)(B) 
(requirement to review, and if appropriate, revise, standards of 
performance for new sources at least every 8 years) and CAA section 
111(d) (requirement to establish standards of performance for existing 
sources for certain pollutants to which a Federal NSPS would apply if 
such existing source were a new source). Statutory authority for the 
rulemaking procedures followed in this action is provided by 
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) section 553(b)(B), 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B) (good cause exception to notice and comment rulemaking).

D. Judicial Review and Administrative Review

    Under CAA section 307(b)(1), judicial review of this final action 
is available only by filing a petition for review in the United States 
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit by September 30, 
2024. Under CAA section 307(b)(2), the requirements established by this 
final action may not be challenged separately in any civil or criminal 
proceedings brought by the EPA to enforce the requirements.

II. Regulatory Revisions

A. Background and Summary

    On November 15, 2021, the EPA published a proposed rule (November 
2021 Proposal) to mitigate climate-destabilizing pollution and protect 
human health by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) and volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from the oil and natural gas industry,\1\ 
specifically

[[Page 62874]]

the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category.2 3 In the 
November 2021 Proposal, the EPA proposed new standards of performance 
under section 111(b) of the CAA for GHGs (in the form of methane 
limitations) and VOC emissions from new, modified, and reconstructed 
sources in this source category, as well as revisions to standards of 
performance already codified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts OOOO and 
OOOOa. The EPA also proposed EG under section 111(d) of the CAA for 
GHGs emissions (in the form of methane limitations) from existing 
sources (designated facilities).\4\ The EPA also proposed several 
related actions stemming from the joint resolution of Congress, adopted 
on June 30, 2021, under the Congressional Review Act (CRA), 
disapproving the EPA's final rule titled, ``Oil and Natural Gas Sector: 
Emission Standards for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources 
Review,'' September 14, 2020 (2020 Policy Rule). Lastly, in the 
November 2021 Proposal the EPA proposed a protocol under the general 
provisions for optical gas imaging (OGI).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The EPA characterizes the oil and natural gas industry 
operations as being generally composed of 4 segments: (1) Extraction 
and production of crude oil and natural gas (``oil and natural gas 
production''), (2) natural gas processing, (3) natural gas 
transmission and storage, and (4) natural gas distribution.
    \2\ ``Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and 
Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil 
and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review.'' Proposed rule. 86 FR 63110, 
November 15, 2021.
    \3\ The EPA defines the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source 
category to mean: (1) crude oil production, which includes the well 
and extends to the point of custody transfer to the crude oil 
transmission pipeline or any other forms of transportation; and (2) 
natural gas production, processing, transmission, and storage, which 
include the well and extend to, but do not include, the local 
distribution company custody transfer station, commonly referred to 
as the ``city-gate.''
    \4\ The term ``designated facility'' means ``any existing 
facility which emits a designated pollutant and which would be 
subject to a standard of performance for that pollutant if the 
existing facility were an affected facility.'' See 40 CFR 60.21a(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 6, 2022, the EPA published a supplemental proposed rule 
(``December 2022 Supplemental Proposal'') that was composed of 2 main 
additions.\5\ First, the EPA updated, strengthened, and expanded on the 
NSPS OOOOb standards proposed in November 2021 under CAA section 111(b) 
for GHGs (in the form of methane limitations) and VOC emissions from 
new, modified, and reconstructed facilities. Second, the EPA updated, 
strengthened, and expanded the presumptive standards proposed for EG 
OOOOc in the November 2021 Proposal as part of the CAA section 111(d) 
EG for GHGs emissions (in the form of methane limitations) from 
designated facilities. For purposes of EG OOOOc, the EPA also proposed 
the implementation requirements for state plans developed to limit GHGs 
pollution (in the form of methane limitations) from designated 
facilities in the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category under CAA 
section 111(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ ``Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and 
Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil 
and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review.'' Supplemental notice of 
proposed rulemaking. 87 FR 74702, December 6, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 8, 2024, at 89 FR 16820, the EPA published the final rule 
with multiple actions to reduce air emissions from the Crude Oil and 
Natural Gas source category. First, the EPA finalized an NSPS OOOOb 
regulating GHG (in the form of a limitation on emissions of methane) 
and VOCs emissions for the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category 
pursuant to CAA section 111(b)(1)(B). Second, the EPA finalized the 
presumptive standards in EG OOOOc to limit GHGs. Third, the EPA 
finalized several related actions (including final amendments to NSPS 
OOOOa) stemming from the joint resolution of Congress, adopted on June 
30, 2021, under the CRA, disapproving the 2020 Policy Rule. The final 
rule became effective sixty days after publication, which was May 7, 
2024.
    As discussed in the summary of this preamble, after the publication 
of the final rule, the EPA discovered, through its own internal 
reassessment of the regulatory text, as well as through communications 
with stakeholders and the Office of Federal Register, erroneous cross-
references and typographical errors within the regulatory text. Through 
those same processes, the EPA also identified erroneous language in the 
regulatory text (or in some cases, erroneous omissions) requiring minor 
wording changes in order to conform with the final rule preamble and 
other parts of the regulatory text. The technical corrections and 
clarifications identified herein are being made to address such 
unintended errors in the recently finalized regulations. The final rule 
is extensive, covering many individual emissions sources at thousands 
of facilities in the oil and natural gas industry across the country. 
The EPA acknowledges the importance of finalizing these corrections to 
the regulatory text as soon as possible so that the regulated community 
can rely on regulatory text that is accurate and complete and avoid 
confusion about how to comply with the final rule. This action 
addresses the technical errors in the final rule identified to date by 
stakeholders, the Office of the Federal Register, and the EPA. This 
action does not attempt to address all issues identified by 
stakeholders following the rules' promulgation. The EPA continues to 
review other issues that have been brought to the Agency's attention 
but are not addressed in this action. To the extent the EPA determines 
that additional action is appropriate to address other post-
promulgation issues, we will initiate a separate rulemaking action. As 
explained in further detail in sections II.B-D, and in section IV, the 
EPA is taking this action as an interim final rule without prior 
proposal and public comment because the EPA finds that this action 
satisfies the good cause exemption from the notice and comment 
rulemaking requirement of the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

B. Technical Corrections for NSPS OOOOa

    Following signature of the final rule, we identified typographical 
errors included in the amendments to NSPS OOOOa. This action corrects 
those typographical errors, which are summarized below. In 40 CFR 
60.5430a, the EPA identified a typographical error in the definition of 
``Equipment.'' The final rule inadvertently excluded the word ``and'' 
between ``equipment leaks of GHG (in the form of methane)'' and 
``VOC.'' This omission is clear from a plain reading of the text. This 
technical error of omission is corrected in this action. In addition, 
the EPA identified typographical errors in mathematical symbols used in 
tables in both NSPS OOOOa and NSPS OOOOb. These mathematical symbol 
errors are corrected by this action in both NSPS OOOOa and NSPS OOOOb. 
In the amendments to NSPS OOOOa of the final rule, these errors were 
identified in Table 1 to Subpart OOOOa of Part 60--Required Minimum 
Initial sulfur dioxide (SO2) Emission Reduction Efficiency 
(Zi) and Table 2 to Subpart OOOOa of Part 60--Required 
Minimum SO2 Emission Reduction Efficiency (Zc). 
In NSPS OOOOb, these errors were identified in Table 3 to Subpart OOOOb 
of Part 60--Required Minimum Initial SO2 Emission Reduction 
Efficiency (Zi) and Table 4 to Subpart OOOOb of Part 60--
Required Minimum SO2 Emission Reduction Efficiency 
(Zc). The inadvertent typographical errors therein are the 
mathematical symbols ``<='' and ``>='' which were mistakenly included 
in the final rule as ``<''and ``>''. These technical typographical 
errors are corrected in this action. Note that the corrections to the 
mathematical symbols in these tables parallel what is included in 
similar tables in NSPS OOOO, which are correct. The substance of the 
final rule remains unchanged by correcting these typographical errors. 
Thus, the EPA finds good cause to make these

[[Page 62875]]

corrections to the final rule without prior notice or comment, as these 
procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA section 553(b)(B). A 
red line and strike-out version of the corrected regulatory language 
for NSPS OOOOa amendment is available in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-
0317.

C. Technical Corrections for NSPS OOOOb

1. Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation, and Typographical Technical 
Corrections
    Following signature of the final rule, stakeholders and the Office 
of the Federal Register brought to the Agency's attention, and the EPA 
itself identified, inadvertent errors in the regulatory text of NSPS 
OOOOb, including cross-reference, paragraph designation, and 
typographical errors. Table 2 (Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation, 
and Typographical Technical Corrections to 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
OOOOb) includes the sections and paragraphs of each identified error, 
the corrections being made by this action, and the reasoning for the 
corrections. The substance of the final rule remains unchanged by 
correcting these errors, which are technical in nature, and the EPA 
therefore finds good cause to make these technical corrections to the 
regulatory text of NSPS OOOOb, without prior notice and comment, as 
these procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA section 
553(b)(B).

Table 4 to Subpart OOOOb of Part    Table 4 is corrected by revising

2. Clarifying Technical Corrections
    This action also makes technical corrections to clarify language in 
the regulatory text that was erroneously included (or in some cases, 
erroneously omitted). Table 3 (Clarifying Technical Corrections to 40 
CFR part 60, subpart OOOOb) includes the sections and paragraphs of 
each identified error, the corrections being made by this action, and 
the reasoning for the corrections. These clarifying technical 
corrections do not substantively alter the regulatory text in a way 
that affects the regulated community or the public because they do not 
change any substantive standard--they simply clarify erroneous language 
and/or omissions. The substance of the final rule remains unchanged by 
making these clarifying technical corrections and therefore, the EPA 
finds good cause to make the clarifying technical corrections to the 
regulatory text of NSPS OOOOb set forth in Table 3, without prior 
notice and comment, as these procedures are unnecessary, in accordance 
with APA section 553(b)(B).

D. Technical Corrections for EG OOOOc

1. Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation, and Typographical Technical 
Corrections
    Following signature of the final rule, stakeholders and the Office 
of the Federal Register brought to the Agency's attention, and the EPA 
itself identified, inadvertent errors, including cross-reference, 
paragraph designation, and typographical errors, in the regulatory text 
of NSPS OOOOc. Table 4 (Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation, and 
Typographical Technical Corrections to 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOc) 
includes the sections and paragraphs of the identified errors, the 
corrections being made, and the reasoning for the corrections. For the 
same reasons explained in Section II.C.1 discussing such corrections 
for NSPS OOOOb, the EPA finds good cause to make these technical 
corrections to the regulatory text of EG OOOOc without prior notice and 
comment, as these procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA 
section 553(b)(B).

2. Clarifying Technical Corrections
    This action also makes technical corrections to clarify language in 
the regulatory text of EG OOOOc that was erroneously included (or in 
some cases, erroneously omitted). Table 5 (Clarifying Technical 
Corrections to 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOc) includes the sections and 
paragraphs of the identified errors, the corrections being made, and 
the reasoning for the corrections. For the same reasons explained in 
Section II.C.2 discussing such corrections for NSPS OOOOb, the EPA 
finds good cause to make these clarifying technical corrections to the 
regulatory text of EG OOOOc, without prior notice and comment, as these 
procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA section 553(b)(B).

                                     testing requirements to comply and

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

    The EPA finds good cause to make these technical corrections and 
clarifications to NSPS OOOOc, identified above in Tables 4 and 5, 
without prior notice or comment, as these procedures are unnecessary, 
in accordance with APA section 553(b)(B).
    A red line and strike-out version of the corrected regulatory 
language for NSPS OOOOc is available in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-
0317.

III. Summary of Cost, Environmental, and Economic Impacts

    The technical corrections included in this action do not alter the 
substantive requirements of the final rule, and will therefore have no 
cost, environmental, energy, or economic impacts beyond those already 
presented in the March 8, 2024, Standards of Performance for New, 
Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for 
Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review final rule 
(89 FR 16820) and the accompanying Regulatory Impact Analysis.

IV. Rulemaking Procedures

    As noted in section I.C., the EPA's authority for the rulemaking 
procedures followed in this action is provided by APA section 553.\6\ 
In general, an agency issuing a rule under the procedures in APA 
section 553 must provide prior notice and an opportunity for public

[[Page 62887]]

comment, but APA section 553(b)(B) includes an exemption from notice-
and-comment requirements ``when the Agency for good cause finds (and 
incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons, therefore, 
in the rule issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are 
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' The 
EPA has determined that there is good cause to forego prior notice-and-
comment procedures here because such procedures are unnecessary. The 
EPA is making only minor, non-substantive technical corrections and 
clarifications in this action; providing the public with prior notice 
and the opportunity for comment is unnecessary because these 
corrections do not change any substantive requirement of the final 
rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Although the procedural requirements of CAA section 307(d) 
apply to the EPA's promulgation or revision of any standard of 
performance under CAA section 111, these procedural requirements do 
not apply ``in the case of any rule or circumstance referred to in 
subparagraphs (A) or (B) of [APA section 553(b)].'' CAA section 
307(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This action is effective immediately upon publication. Section 
553(d)(3) of the APA requires publication of a final rule to precede 
the effective date by at least 30 days unless, as relevant here, the 
Agency finds good cause to make the rule effective sooner. The Agency 
finds that there is good cause to make the rule effective immediately 
upon publication under APA section 553(d)(3). See Omnipoint Corp. v. 
Fed. Commc'n Comm'n, 78 F.3d 620, 630 (D.C. Cir. 1996) (in determining 
whether good cause exists to make a rule immediately effective, an 
agency should ``balance the necessity for immediate implementation 
against principles of fundamental fairness which require that all 
affected persons be afforded a reasonable amount of time to prepare for 
the effective date of its ruling''). This action addresses erroneous 
language (and in some cases, erroneous omissions) in the regulatory 
text of the final rule which, if not corrected, will lead to compliance 
difficulties and confusion among the regulated community about how to 
comply with the final rule. As the final rule is already in effect, it 
is critical to ensure that the regulated community and the public can 
rely on regulatory text that is accurate and complete. Moreover, 
because this action does not impose any new requirements, the regulated 
community does not need time to prepare for this interim final rule to 
come into effect.

V. Request for Comment

    As explained in section IV of this document, the EPA finds good 
cause to issue this interim final rule without prior notice or 
opportunity for public comment. However, the EPA is providing an 
opportunity for the public to comment on the content of the technical 
corrections to the regulatory text being made by this action and, thus, 
requests comment on the revisions described herein. The EPA is not 
reopening for comment any provisions of the March 2024 final rule other 
than the specific corrections made in this interim final rule.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at http://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review, as Amended by 
Executive Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in 
Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094, and was 
therefore not subject to a requirement for Executive Order 12866 
review.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden 
under the PRA. The information collection activities for NSPS OOOOa, 
NSPS OOOOb, EG OOOOc have been submitted for approval to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) under the PRA. The ICR document that the 
EPA prepared has been assigned OMB Control No. 2060-0721 and EPA ICR 
number 2523.07. The final rule ICR has been submitted to OMB as of May 
1, 2024, and is awaiting approval. You can find a copy of the 
previously submitted ICR in EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317.
    This action does not change the information collection 
requirements.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    This action is not subject to the RFA. The RFA applies only to 
rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the 
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. 
This rule is not subject to notice and comment requirements because the 
Agency has invoked the APA ``good cause'' exemption under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b).

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)

    This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or 
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action imposes 
no enforceable duty on any state, local or tribal governments or the 
private sector. This action corrects unintended errors in the March 
2024 final rule.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It 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.

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

    This action does not have Tribal implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13175. This action will implement corrections and 
clarifications to regulatory text applicable directly to the regulated 
industry that needed clarification or that were erroneously included in 
the final rule. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this 
action.

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

    Executive Order 13045 directs federal agencies to include an 
evaluation of the health and safety effects of the planned regulation 
on children in Federal health and safety standards and explain why the 
regulation is preferable to potentially effective and reasonably 
feasible alternatives. This action is not subject to Executive Order 
13045 because it is not a significant regulatory action under section 
3(f)(1) of Executive Order 12866, and because the EPA does not believe 
the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action 
present a disproportionate risk to children. The EPA does not believe 
there are disproportionate risks to children because of this action 
since it will not result in any changes to the control of air 
pollutants.

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

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is 
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR 
Part 51

    This action does not involve technical standards; therefore, the 
NTTAA does not apply.

[[Page 62888]]

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and 
Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing our Nation's Commitment to 
Environmental Justice for All

    The EPA believes that this action does not concern human health or 
environmental conditions and, therefore, cannot be evaluated with 
respect to potentially disproportionate and adverse effects on 
communities with environmental justice concerns.

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801-808, and the EPA 
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the 
Comptroller General of the United States. The CRA allows the issuing 
agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the 
CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and comment 
rulemaking procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to 
the public interest (5 U.S.C. 808(2)). The EPA has made a good cause 
finding for this action as discussed in section IV of this document, 
including the basis for that finding.

5. Amend Sec.  60.5365b by revising and republishing paragraphs (e), 
(g), (h), and (i) to read as follows:


Sec.  60.5365b  Am I subject to this subpart?

* * * * *
    (e) Each storage vessel affected facility, which is a tank battery 
that has the potential for emissions as specified in either paragraph 
(e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section. A tank battery with the potential 
for emissions below both of the thresholds specified in paragraphs

[[Page 62889]]

(e)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section is not a storage vessel affected 
facility provided the owner/operator keeps records of the potential for 
emissions calculation for the life of the storage vessel or until such 
time the tank battery becomes a storage vessel affected facility 
because the potential for emissions meets or exceeds either threshold 
specified in either paragraph (e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section.
    (1)(i) Potential for VOC emissions equal to or greater than 6 tons 
per year (tpy) as determined in paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
    (ii) Potential for methane emissions equal to or greater than 20 
tpy as determined in paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
    (2) The potential for VOC and methane emissions must be calculated 
as the cumulative emissions from all storage vessels within the tank 
battery as specified by the applicable requirements in paragraphs 
(e)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section. The determination may take 
into account requirements under a legally and practicably enforceable 
limit in an operating permit or other requirement established under a 
Federal, state, local, or Tribal authority.
    (i) For purposes of determining the applicability of a storage 
vessel tank battery as an affected facility, a legally and practicably 
enforceable limit must include the elements provided in paragraphs 
(e)(2)(i)(A) through (F) of this section.
    (A) A quantitative production limit and quantitative operational 
limit(s) for the equipment, or quantitative operational limits for the 
equipment;
    (B) An averaging time period for the production limit in 
(e)(2)(i)(A) of this section, if a production-based limit is used, that 
is equal to or less than 30 days;
    (C) Established parametric limits for the production and/or 
operational limit(s) in paragraph (e)(2)(i)(A) of this section, and 
where a control device is used to achieve an operational limit, an 
initial compliance demonstration (i.e., performance test) for the 
control device that establishes the parametric limits;
    (D) Ongoing monitoring of the parametric limits in (e)(2)(i)(C) of 
this section that demonstrates continuous compliance with the 
production and/or operational limit(s) in (e)(2)(i)(A) of this section;
    (E) Recordkeeping by the owner or operator that demonstrates 
continuous compliance with the limit(s) in (e)(2)(i)(A) through (D) of 
this section; and
    (F) Periodic reporting that demonstrates continuous compliance.
    (ii) For each tank battery located at a well site or centralized 
production facility, you must determine the potential for VOC and 
methane emissions within 30 days after startup of production, or within 
30 days after an action specified in paragraphs (e)(3)(i) and (ii) of 
this section, except as provided in paragraph (e)(5)(iv) of this 
section. The potential for VOC and methane emissions must be calculated 
using a generally accepted model or calculation methodology that 
accounts for flashing, working, and breathing losses, based on the 
maximum average daily throughput to the tank battery determined for a 
30-day period of production.
    (iii) For each tank battery not located at a well site or 
centralized production facility, including each tank battery located at 
a compressor station or onshore natural gas processing plant, you must 
determine the potential for VOC and methane emissions prior to startup 
of the compressor station, onshore natural gas processing plant, or 
other facility within 30 days after an action specified in paragraphs 
(e)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section, using either method described in 
paragraph (e)(2)(iii)(A) or (B) of this section.
    (A) Determine the potential for VOC and methane emissions using a 
generally accepted model or calculation methodology that accounts for 
flashing, working and breathing losses and based on the throughput to 
the tank battery established in a legally and practicably enforceable 
limit in an operating permit or other requirement established under a 
Federal, state, local, or Tribal authority; or
    (B) Determine the potential for VOC and methane emissions using a 
generally accepted model or calculation methodology that accounts for 
flashing, working and breathing losses and based on projected maximum 
average daily throughput. Maximum average daily throughput is 
determined using a generally accepted engineering model (e.g., 
volumetric condensate rates from the tank battery based on the maximum 
gas throughput capacity of each producing facility) to project the 
maximum average daily throughput for the tank battery.
    (3) For the purposes of Sec.  60.5395b, the following definitions 
of ``reconstruction'' and ``modification'' apply for determining when 
an existing tank battery becomes a storage vessel affected facility 
under this subpart.
    (i) ``Reconstruction'' of a tank battery occurs when the potential 
for VOC or methane emissions to meet or exceed either of the thresholds 
specified in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section and--
    (A) At least half of the storage vessels are replaced in the 
existing tank battery that consists of more than one storage vessel; or
    (B) The provisions of Sec.  60.15 are met for the existing tank 
battery.
    (ii) ``Modification'' of a tank battery occurs when any of the 
actions in paragraphs (e)(3)(ii)(A) through (D) of this section occurs 
and the potential for VOC or methane emissions meet or exceed either of 
the thresholds specified in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this 
section.
    (A) A storage vessel is added to an existing tank battery;
    (B) One or more storage vessels are replaced such that the 
cumulative storage capacity of the existing tank battery increases;
    (C) For tank batteries at well sites or centralized production 
facilities, an existing tank battery receives additional crude oil, 
condensate, intermediate hydrocarbons, or produced water throughput 
from actions, including but not limited to, the addition of operations 
or a production well, or changes to operations or a production well 
(including hydraulic fracturing or refracturing of the well).
    (D) For tank batteries not located at a well site or centralized 
production facility, including each tank battery at compressor stations 
or onshore natural gas processing plants, an existing tank battery 
receives additional fluids which cumulatively exceed the throughput 
used in the most recent (i.e., prior to an action in paragraphs 
(e)(3)(ii)(A), (B) or (D) of this section) determination of the 
potential for VOC or methane emissions.
    (4) A storage vessel affected facility that subsequently has its 
potential for VOC emissions decrease to less than 6 tpy shall remain an 
affected facility under this subpart.
    (5) For storage vessels not subject to a legally and practicably 
enforceable limit in an operating permit or other requirement 
established under Federal, state, local, or Tribal authority, any vapor 
from the storage vessel that is recovered and routed to a process 
through a vapor recovery unit designed and operated as specified in 
this section is not required to be included in the determination of 
potential for VOC or methane emissions for purposes of determining 
affected facility status, provided you comply with the requirements of 
paragraphs (e)(5)(i) through (iv) of this section.
    (i) You meet the cover requirements specified in Sec.  60.5411b(b).

[[Page 62890]]

    (ii) You meet the closed vent system requirements specified in 
Sec.  60.5411b(a)(2) through (4) and (c).
    (iii) You must maintain records that document compliance with 
paragraphs (e)(5)(i) and (ii) of this section.
    (iv) In the event of removal of apparatus that recovers and routes 
vapor to a process, or operation that is inconsistent with the 
conditions specified in paragraphs (e)(5)(i) and (ii) of this section, 
you must determine the storage vessel's potential for VOC emissions 
according to this section within 30 days of such removal or operation.
    (6) The requirements of this paragraph (e)(6) apply to each storage 
vessel affected facility immediately upon startup, startup of 
production, or return to service. A storage vessel affected facility or 
portion of a storage vessel affected facility that is reconnected to 
the original source of liquids remains a storage vessel affected 
facility subject to the same requirements that applied before being 
removed from service. Any storage vessel that is used to replace a 
storage vessel affected facility, or portion of a storage vessel 
affected facility, or used to expand a storage vessel affected facility 
assumes the affected facility status of the storage vessel affected 
facility being replaced or expanded.
    (7) A storage vessel with a capacity greater than 100,000 gallons 
used to recycle water that has been passed through two stage separation 
is not a storage vessel affected facility.
* * * * *
    (g) Each sweetening unit affected facility as defined by paragraphs 
(g)(1) and (2) of this section.
    (1) Each sweetening unit that processes natural gas produced from 
either onshore or offshore wells is an affected facility; and
    (2) Each sweetening unit that processes natural gas followed by a 
sulfur recovery unit is an affected facility.
    (3) Facilities that have a design capacity less than 2 long tons 
per day (LT/D) of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the acid gas (expressed as 
sulfur) are required to comply with recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements specified in Sec.  60.5423b(e) but are not required to 
comply with Sec. Sec.  60.5405b through 60.5407b and Sec. Sec.  
60.5410b(i) and 60.5415b(k).
    (4) Sweetening facilities producing acid gas that is completely re-
injected into oil-or-gas-bearing geologic strata or that is otherwise 
not released to the atmosphere are not subject to Sec. Sec.  60.5405b 
through 60.5407b, 60.5410b(i), 60.5415b(k), and 60.5423b.
    (h) Each pump affected facility, which is the collection of natural 
gas-driven pumps at a well site, centralized production facility, 
onshore natural gas processing plant, or a compressor station. Pumps 
that are not driven by natural gas are not included in the pump 
affected facility.
    (1) For the purposes of Sec.  60.5393b, in addition to the 
definition in Sec.  60.14, a modification occurs when the number of 
natural gas-driven pumps in the affected facility is increased by one 
or more.
    (2) For the purposes of Sec.  60.5393b, owners and operators may 
choose to apply reconstruction as defined in Sec.  60.15(b) based on 
the fixed capital cost of the new pumps in accordance with paragraph 
(h)(2)(i) of this section, or the definition of reconstruction based on 
the number of natural gas-driven pumps in the affected facility in 
accordance with paragraph (h)(2)(ii) of this section. Owners and 
operators may choose which definition of reconstruction to apply and 
whether to comply with paragraph (h)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section; 
they do not need to apply both. If owners and operators choose to 
comply with paragraph (h)(2)(ii) of this section they may demonstrate 
compliance with Sec.  60.15(b)(1) by showing that more than 50 percent 
of the number of natural gas-driven pumps is replaced. That is, if an 
owner or operator meets the definition of reconstruction through the 
``number of pumps'' criterion in paragraph (h)(2)(ii) of this section, 
they will have shown that the ``fixed capital cost of the new 
components exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost that would be 
required to construct a comparable entirely new facility,'' as required 
in Sec.  60.15(b)(1). Therefore, an owner or operator may comply with 
the remaining provisions of Sec.  60.15 that reference ``fixed capital 
cost'' through an initial showing that the number of natural gas-driven 
pumps replaced exceeds 50 percent. For purposes of paragraphs (h)(2)(i) 
and (ii) of this section, ``commenced'' means that an owner or operator 
has undertaken a continuous program of component replacement or that an 
owner or operator has entered into a contractual obligation to 
undertake and complete, within a reasonable time, a continuous program 
of natural gas-driven pump replacement.
    (i) If the owner or operator applies the definition of 
reconstruction in Sec.  60.15, reconstruction occurs when the fixed 
capital cost of the new pumps exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital 
cost that would be required to replace all the natural gas-driven pumps 
in the affected facility. The ``fixed capital cost of the new pumps'' 
includes the fixed capital cost of all natural gas-driven pumps which 
are or will be replaced pursuant to all continuous programs of 
component replacement which are commenced within any 24-month rolling 
period following December 6, 2022.
    (ii) If the owner or operator applies the definition of 
reconstruction based on the percentage of natural gas-driven pumps 
replaced, reconstruction occurs when greater than 50 percent of the 
natural gas-driven pumps in the affected facility are replaced. The 
percentage includes all natural gas-driven pumps which are or will be 
replaced pursuant to all continuous programs of component replacement 
which are commenced within any 24-month rolling period following 
December 6, 2022. If an owner or operator determines reconstruction 
based on the percentage of natural gas-driven pumps that are replaced, 
the owner or operator must comply with Sec.  60.15(a).
    (3) A natural gas-driven pump that is in operation less than 90 
days per calendar year is not part of an affected facility under this 
subpart. For the purposes of this section, any period of operation 
during a calendar day counts toward the 90-calendar day threshold.
    (i) Each fugitive emissions components affected facility, which is 
the collection of fugitive emissions components at a well site, 
centralized production facility, or a compressor station.
    (1) For purposes of Sec.  60.5397b and Sec.  60.5398b, a 
``modification'' to a well site occurs when:
    (i) A new well is drilled at an existing well site;
    (ii) A well at an existing well site is hydraulically fractured; or
    (iii) A well at an existing well site is hydraulically refractured.
    (2) For purposes of Sec.  60.5397b and Sec.  60.5398b, a 
``modification'' to centralized production facility occurs when:
    (i) Any of the actions in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) through (iii) of 
this section occurs at an existing centralized production facility;
    (ii) A well sending production to an existing centralized 
production facility is modified, as defined in paragraphs (i)(1)(i) 
through (iii) of this section; or
    (iii) A well site subject to the requirements of Sec.  60.5397b or 
Sec.  60.5398b removes all major production and processing equipment, 
such that it becomes a wellhead only well site and sends production to 
an existing centralized production facility.

[[Page 62891]]

    (3) For purposes of Sec. Sec.  60.5397b and 60.5398b, a 
``modification'' to a compressor station occurs when:
    (i) An additional compressor is installed at a compressor station; 
or
    (ii) One or more compressors at a compressor station is replaced by 
one or more compressors of greater total horsepower than the 
compressor(s) being replaced. When one or more compressors is replaced 
by one or more compressors of an equal or smaller total horsepower than 
the compressor(s) being replaced, installation of the replacement 
compressor(s) does not trigger a modification of the compressor station 
for purposes of Sec. Sec.  60.5397b and 60.5398b.

personnel more than 2 meters (7 feet) above a permanent support surface 
or would require the erection of scaffold.
    (F) Not able to be accessed at any time in a safe manner to perform 
monitoring. Unsafe access includes, but is not limited to, the use of a 
wheeled scissor-lift on unstable or uneven terrain, the use of a 
motorized man-lift basket in areas where an ignition potential exists, 
or access would require near proximity to hazards such as electrical 
lines or would risk damage to equipment.
    (ii) If any inaccessible, ceramic, or ceramic-lined connector is 
observed by AVO or other means to be leaking, the indications of a leak 
to the atmosphere by AVO or other means must be eliminated as soon as 
practicable.

paragraph (i)(2)(ii)(A), (B), or (C) of this section, unless you meet 
the requirements of paragraph (i)(2)(ii)(D) of this section.
    (A) Repack the existing valve with a low-e packing.
    (B) Replace the existing valve with a low-e valve; or
    (C) Perform a drill and tap repair with a low-e injectable packing.
    (D) An owner or operator is not required to utilize a low-e valve 
or low-e packing to replace or repack a valve if the owner or operator 
demonstrates that a low-e valve or low-e packing is not technically 
feasible. Low-e valve or low-e packing that is not suitable for its 
intended use is considered to be technically infeasible. Factors that 
may be considered in determining technical infeasibility include: 
retrofit requirements for installation (e.g., re-piping or space 
limitation), commercial unavailability for valve type, or certain 
instrumentation assemblies.
    (3) Repair of leaking equipment must be completed within 15

Sec.  60.5430b  What definitions apply to this subpart?

* * * * *
    No identifiable emissions means, for the purposes of covers, closed 
vent systems, and self-contained natural gas-driven process controllers 
and as determined according to the provisions of Sec.  60.5416b, that 
no emissions are detected by AVO means when inspections are conducted 
by AVO; no emissions are imaged with an OGI camera when inspections are 
conducted with OGI; and equipment is operating with an instrument 
reading of less than 500 ppmv above background, as determined by Method 
21 of appendix A-7 to this part when inspections are conducted with 
Method 21.
* * * * *
    Storage vessel means a tank or other vessel that contains an 
accumulation of crude oil, condensate, intermediate hydrocarbon 
liquids, or produced water, and that is constructed primarily of 
nonearthen materials (such as wood, concrete, steel, fiberglass, or 
plastic) which provide structural support. A well completion vessel 
that receives recovered liquids from a well after startup of production 
following flowback for a period which exceeds 60 days is considered a 
storage vessel under this subpart. A tank or other vessel shall not be 
considered a storage vessel if it has been removed from service in 
accordance with the requirements of Sec.  60.5395b(c)(1) until such 
time as such tank or other vessel has been returned to service. For the 
purposes of this subpart, the following are not considered storage 
vessels:
    (1) Vessels that are skid-mounted or permanently attached to 
something that is mobile (such as trucks, railcars, barges or ships), 
and are intended to be located at a site for less than 180 consecutive 
days. If you do not keep or are not able to produce records, as 
required by Sec.  60.5420b(c)(7)(v), showing that the vessel has been 
located at a site for less than 180 consecutive days, the vessel 
described herein is considered to be a storage vessel from the date the 
original vessel was first located at the site. This exclusion does not 
apply to a well completion vessel as described above.
    (2) Process vessels such as surge control vessels, bottoms 
receivers or knockout vessels.
    (3) Pressure vessels designed to operate in excess of 204.9 
kilopascals and without emissions to the atmosphere.

Sec.  60.5398c  What alternative GHG standards apply to fugitive 
emissions components designated facilities and what inspection and 
monitoring requirements apply to covers and closed vent systems when 
using an alternative technology?

* * * * *
    (b) Periodic screening. You may choose to demonstrate compliance 
for your fugitive emissions components designated facility and 
compliance with continuous inspection and monitoring requirements for 
your covers and closed vent systems through periodic screenings using 
any methane measurement technology approved in accordance with Sec.

Sec.  60.5397c.
    (iv) If you use multiple methods to conduct periodic screenings, 
you must conduct all periodic screenings, regardless of the method used 
for the individual periodic screening event, at the frequency required 
for the alternative test method with the highest aggregate detection 
threshold (e.g., if you use methods with aggregate detection thresholds 
of 15 kg/hr, your periodic screenings must be conducted monthly). You 
must also conduct an annual OGI survey if an annual OGI survey is 
required for the alternative test method with the highest aggregate 
detection threshold.
    (2) You must develop a monitoring plan that covers the collection 
of fugitive emissions components, covers, and closed vent systems at 
each site where you will use periodic screenings to demonstrate 
compliance. You may develop a site-specific monitoring plan, or you may 
include multiple sites that you own or operate in one plan. At a 
minimum, the monitoring plan must contain the information specified in 
paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (ix) of this section.

Sec.  60.5417c   What are the continuous monitoring requirements for my 
control devices?

    You must meet the requirements of this section to demonstrate 
continuous compliance for each control device used to meet emission 
standards for your well, centrifugal compressor, reciprocating 
compressor, process controller, pump, storage vessel, and process unit 
equipment designated facilities.
    (a) For each control device used to comply with the emission 
reduction standard in Sec.  60.5391c(b) for well designated facilities, 
Sec.  60.5392c(a)(3) for centrifugal compressor designated facilities, 
Sec.  60.5393c(d)(2) for reciprocating compressor designated 
facilities, Sec.  60.5394c(b)(3) for your process controller designated 
facility in Alaska, Sec.  60.5395c(b)(1) for your pumps designated 
facility, Sec.  60.5396c(a)(2) for your storage vessel designated 
facility, or either Sec.  60.5400c(f) or Sec.  60.5401c(e) for your 
process equipment designated facility, you must install and operate a 
continuous parameter monitoring system for each control device as 
specified in paragraphs (c) through (h) of this section, except as 
provided for in paragraph (b) of this section. If you install and 
operate a flare in accordance with Sec.  60.5412c(a)(3), you are exempt 
from the requirements of paragraph (f) of this section. If you operate 
an enclosed combustion device or flare using an alternative test method 
approved under Sec.  60.5412c(d), you must operate the control device 
as specified in paragraph (i) of this section instead of using the 
procedures specified in paragraphs (c) through (h) of this section. You 
must keep records and report in accordance with paragraph (j) of this 
section.
* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (8) For an enclosed combustion device, other than those listed in 
paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) and (7) of this section, or for a flare, 
continuous monitoring systems as specified in paragraphs (d)(8)(i) 
through (iv) of this section and visible emission observations 
conducted as specified in paragraph (d)(8)(v) of this section. 
Additionally, for enclosed combustion devices or flares that are air-
assisted or steam-assisted, the continuous monitoring systems specified 
in paragraph (d)(8)(vi) of this section.
* * * * *
    (iii) For an unassisted or pressure-assisted flare or enclosed 
combustion device, if you demonstrate according to the methods 
described in paragraphs (d)(8)(iii)(A) through (F) of this section that 
the NHV of the inlet gas to the enclosed combustion device or flare 
consistently exceeds the applicable operating limit specified in Sec.  
60.5415c(e)(1)(vii)(B) or (C), continuous monitoring of the NHV is not 
required, but you must conduct the ongoing sampling in paragraph 
(d)(8)(iii)(G) of this section. For flares and enclosed combustion 
devices that use only perimeter assist air and do not use steam assist 
or premix assist air, if you demonstrate according to the methods 
described in paragraphs (d)(8)(iii)(A) through (F) of this section that 
the NHV of the inlet gas to the enclosed combustion device or flare 
consistently exceeds 300 Btu/scf, continuous monitoring of the NHV is 
not required, but you must conduct the ongoing sampling in paragraph 
(d)(8)(iii)(G) of this section. For an unassisted or pressure-assisted 
flare or enclosed combustion device, in lieu of conducting the 
demonstration outlined in paragraphs (d)(8)(iii)(A) through (D) of this 
section, you may conduct the demonstration outlined in paragraph 
(d)(8)(iii)(H) of this section, but you must still comply with 
paragraphs (d)(8)(iii)(E) through (G) of this section.
    (A) Continuously monitor or collect a sample of the inlet gas to 
the enclosed combustion device or flare twice daily to determine the 
average NHV of the gas stream for 14 consecutive operating days. If you 
do not continuously monitor the NHV, the minimum time of collection for 
each individual sample be at least one hour. Consecutive samples must 
be separated by at least 6 hours. If inlet gas flow is intermittent 
such that there are not at least 28 samples over the 14 operating day 
period, you must continue to collect samples of the inlet gas beyond 
the 14 operating day period until you collect a minimum of 28 samples.
    (B) If you collect samples twice per day, count the number of 
samples where the NHV value is less than 1.2 times the applicable 
operating limit specified in Sec.  60.5415c(e)(1)(vii)(B) or (C), or 
this paragraph (d)(8)(iii) (i.e., values that are less than 240, 360, 
or 960 Btu/scf, as applicable) during the sample collection period in 
paragraph (d)(8)(iii)(A) of this section.
    (C) If you continuously sample the inlet stream for 14 days, count 
the number of hourly average NHV values that are less than the 
applicable operating limit specified in Sec.  60.5415c(e)(1)(vii)(B) or 
(C), or this paragraph (d)(8)(iii) (i.e., values that are less than 
200, 300, or 800 Btu/scf, as applicable), during the sample collection 
period in paragraph (d)(8)(iii)(A) of this section.

[[Page 62935]]

    (D) If there are no samples counted under paragraph (d)(8)(iii)(B) 
of this section or there are no hourly values counted under paragraph 
(d)(8)(iii)(C) of this section, the gas stream is considered to 
consistently exceed the applicable NHV operating limit and on-going 
continuous monitoring is not required.
    (E) If process operations are revised that could impact the NHV of 
the gas sent to the enclosed combustion device or flare, such as the 
removal or addition of process equipment, and at any time the 
Administrator requires, re-evaluation of the gas stream must be 
performed according to paragraphs (d)(8)(iii)(A) through (D) of this 
section to ensure the gas stream still consistently exceeds the 
applicable operating limit specified in Sec.  60.5415c(e)(1)(vii)(B) or 
(C), or this paragraph (d)(8)(iii).
    (F) When collecting samples under paragraph (d)(8)(iii)(A) of this 
section, the owner or operator must account for any sources of inert 
gases that can be sent to the enclosed combustion device or flare 
(e.g., streams from compressors in acid gas service, streams from 
enhanced oil recovery facilities). The report in Sec.  
60.5420c(b)(10)(v)(I) and the records of the demonstration in Sec.  
60.5420c(c)(10)(vi) must note whether the enclosed combustion device or 
flare has the potential to receive inert gases, and if so, whether the 
sampling included periods where the highest percentage of inert gases 
were sent to the enclosed combustion device or flare. If the 
introduction of inerts is intermittent and does not occur during the 
initial demonstration, the introduction of inerts will be considered a 
revision to process operations that triggers a re-evaluation under 
paragraph (d)(8)(iii)(E) of this section. If conditions at the site did 
not allow sampling during periods where the introduction of inert gases 
was at the highest percentage possible, increasing the percentage of 
inerts will be considered a revision to process operations that 
triggers a re-evaluation under paragraph (d)(8)(iii)(E) of this 
section.
    (G) You must collect three samples of the inlet gas to the enclosed 
combustion device or flare at least once every 5 years. The minimum 
time of collection for each individual sample must be at least one 
hour. The samples must be taken during the period with the lowest 
expected NHV (i.e., the period with the highest percentage of inerts). 
The first set of periodic samples must be taken, or continuous 
monitoring commenced, no later than 60 calendar months following the 
last sample taken under paragraph (d)(8)(iii)(A) of this section. 
Subsequent periodic samples must be taken, or continuous monitoring 
commenced, no later than 60 calendar months following the previous 
sample. If any sample has an NHV value less than 1.2 times the 
applicable operating limit specified in Sec.  60.5415c(e)(1)(vii)(B) or 
(C), or this paragraph (d)(8)(iii) (i.e., values that are less than 
240, 360, or 960 Btu/scf, as applicable), you must conduct the 
monitoring required by paragraph (d)(8)(ii) of this section.
    (H) You may request an alternative test method under Sec.  
60.5412c(d) to demonstrate that the flare or enclosed combustion device 
reduces methane and VOC in the gases vented to the device by 95.0 
percent by weight or greater. You must use an alternative test method 
that demonstrates compliance with the combustion efficiency limit; you 
may not use an alternative test method that demonstrates compliance 
with NHVcz and NHVdil in lieu of measuring 
combustion efficiency directly. You must measure data values at the 
frequency specified in the alternative test method and conduct the 
quality assurance and quality control requirements outlined in the 
alternative test method at the frequency outlined in the alternative 
test method. You must monitor the combustion efficiency of the flare 
continuously for 14 days. If there are no values of the combustion 
efficiency measured by the alternative test method that are less than 
95.0 percent, the gas stream is considered to consistently exceed the 
applicable NHV operating limit, and you are not required to 
continuously monitor the NHV of the inlet gas to the flare or enclosed 
combustion device.

[[Page 62948]]

Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/). The EPA will make all the 
information submitted through CEDRI available to the public without 
further notice to you. Do not use CEDRI to submit information you claim 
as CBI. Although we do not expect persons to assert a claim of CBI, if 
you wish to assert a CBI claim for some of the information in the 
report or notification, you must submit a complete file in the format 
specified in this subpart, including information claimed to be CBI, to 
the EPA following the procedures in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this 
section. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim 
to be CBI. Information not marked as CBI may be authorized for public 
release without prior notice. Information marked as CBI will not be 
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 
2. All CBI claims must be asserted at the time of submission. Anything 
submitted using CEDRI cannot later be claimed CBI. Furthermore, under 
CAA section 114(c), emissions data is not entitled to confidential 
treatment, and the EPA is required to make emissions data available to 
the public. Thus, emissions data will not be protected as CBI and will 
be made publicly available. You must submit the same file submitted to 
the CBI office with the CBI omitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as 
described earlier in this paragraph (d).

63. Amend Sec.  60.5421c by revising the introductory text and 
paragraph (b) introductory text to read as follows:


Sec.  60.5421c   What are my additional recordkeeping requirements for 
process unit equipment designated facilities?

    You must maintain a record of each equipment leak monitoring 
inspection and each leak identified under Sec.  60.5400c and Sec.  
60.5401c as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (17) of this 
section. The record must be maintained either onsite or at the nearest 
local field office for at least 5 years. Any records required to be 
maintained that are submitted electronically via the EPA's CEDRI may be 
maintained in electronic format. This ability to maintain electronic 
copies does not affect the requirement for facilities to make records, 
data, and reports available upon request to a delegated air agency or 
the EPA as part of an on-site compliance evaluation.
* * * * *
    (b) You must maintain the monitoring inspection records specified 
in paragraphs (b)(1) through (17) of this section.

65. Amend Sec.  60.5430c by revising the definitions of Initial 
calibration value, No identifiable emissions, Repaired, and Storage 
vessel to read as follows:


Sec.  60.5430c   What definitions apply to this subpart?

* * * * *
    Initial calibration value, as used in the standards and 
requirements of this subpart relative to the process unit equipment 
designated facility at onshore natural gas processing plants, means the 
concentration measured during the initial calibration at the beginning 
of each day required in Sec.  60.5406c, or the most recent calibration 
if the instrument is recalibrated during the day (i.e., the calibration 
is adjusted) after a calibration drift assessment.
* * * * *
    No identifiable emissions means, for the purposes of covers, closed 
vent systems, and self-contained natural gas-driven process controllers 
and as determined according to the provisions of Sec.  60.5416c, that 
no emissions are detected by AVO means when inspections are conducted 
by AVO; no emissions are imaged with an OGI camera when inspections are 
conducted with OGI; and equipment is operating with an instrument 
reading of less than 500 ppmv above background, as determined by Method 
21 of appendix A-7 to this part when inspections are conducted with 
Method 21.
* * * * *
    Repaired means the following:
    (1) For the purposes of fugitive emissions components designated 
facilities, that fugitive emissions components are adjusted, replaced, 
or otherwise altered, in order to eliminate fugitive emissions as 
defined in Sec.  60.5397c and resurveyed as specified in Sec.  
60.5397c(h)(4) and it is verified that emissions from the fugitive 
emissions components are below the applicable fugitive emissions 
definition.
    (2) For the purposes of process unit equipment designated 
facilities, that equipment is adjusted, or otherwise altered, in order 
to eliminate a leak as defined in Sec. Sec.  60.5400c and 60.5401c and 
is re-monitored as specified in Sec.  60.5400c(b) introductory text or 
Sec.  60.5406c, respectively, to verify that emissions from the 
equipment are below the applicable leak definition. Pumps in light 
liquid service subject to Sec.  60.5400c(c)(2) or Sec.  
60.5401c(b)(1)(ii) are not subject to re-monitoring.
* * * * *
    Storage vessel means a tank or other vessel that contains an 
accumulation of crude oil, condensate, intermediate hydrocarbon 
liquids, or produced water, and that is constructed primarily of 
nonearthen materials (such as wood, concrete, steel, fiberglass, or 
plastic) which provide structural support. A well completion vessel 
that receives recovered liquids from a well after startup of production 
following flowback for a period which exceeds 60 days is considered a 
storage vessel under this subpart. A tank or other vessel shall not be 
considered a storage vessel if it has been removed from service in 
accordance with the requirements of Sec.  60.5396c(c)(1) until such 
time as such tank or other vessel has been returned to service. For the 
purposes of this subpart, the following are not considered storage 
vessels:
    (1) Vessels that are skid-mounted or permanently attached to 
something that is mobile (such as trucks, railcars, barges or ships), 
and are intended to be located at a site for less than 180 consecutive 
days. If you do not keep or are not able to produce records, as 
required by Sec.  60.5420c(c)(6)(v), showing that the vessel has been 
located at a site for less than 180 consecutive days, the vessel 
described herein is considered to be a storage vessel from the date the 
original vessel was first located at the site. This exclusion does not 
apply to a well completion vessel as described above.
    (2) Process vessels such as surge control vessels, bottoms 
receivers or knockout vessels.
    (3) Pressure vessels designed to operate in excess of 204.9 
kilopascals and without emissions to the atmosphere.
