In this action the EPA revised the new source performance standards for volatile organic compounds from leaking components at onshore natural gas processing plants and new source performance standards for sulfur dioxide emissions from natural gas processing plants. The EPA also established standards for certain oil and gas operations not covered by the existing standards. In addition to the operations covered by the existing standards, the newly established standards will regulate volatile organic compound emissions from gas wells, centrifugal compressors, reciprocating compressors, pneumatic controllers and storage vessels. This action also finalizes the residual risk and technology review for the Oil and Natural Gas Production source category and the Natural Gas Transmission and Storage source category. This action includes revisions to the existing leak detection and repair requirements. In addition, the EPA has established in this action emission limits reflecting maximum achievable control technology for certain currently uncontrolled emission sources in these source categories. This action also includes modification and addition of testing and monitoring and related notification, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, as well as other minor technical revisions to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. This action finalizes revisions to the regulatory provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction. 77 FR 49490 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2012-08-16/2012-16806 2012-16806 fr16au12-9 RIN 2060-AP76 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0505 FRL-9665-1 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2012-08-16/2012-16806 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-08-16/html/2012-16806.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-08-16/pdf/2012-16806.pdf Environmental Protection Air Pollution Control Incorporation by Reference Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Volatile Organic Compounds Administrative Practice and Procedures Hazardous Substances 111 p. 49490 49600 77 FR 49490 Title 40 Part 60 40 CFR Part 60 Title 40 Part 63 40 CFR Part 63 RIN 2060-AP76 Oil and Natural Gas Sector: New Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Reviews; Federal Register Vol. 77, Issue RULE 2012-16806 II ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2012-10-15 EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0505 FRL-9665-1 6560-50-P 2012-16806 Final rule.
