Synthetic Minor Permit Conditions, and 1990 Baseyear Emissions for One
Source
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This revision
establishes and requires reasonably available control technology (RACT)
on twenty major sources, establishes permit conditions to limit one
source's emissions to below major source levels, and establishes 1990
baseyear VOC and NOX emissions for one source. This action affects
a total of 21 sources. The intended effect of this action is to approve
source-specific plan approvals and operating permits and emission
inventory figures for emission units at one source, which establish the
above-mentioned requirements in accordance with the Clean Air Act. This
action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
DATES: This action is effective June 10, 1996 unless notice is received
on or before May 9, 1996 that adverse or critical comments will be
submitted. If the effective date is delayed, timely notice will be
published in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 6, 1995, April 19, 1995, May 10,
1995, May 31, 1995, August 11, 1995, October 24, 1995, and December 8,
1995, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania submitted formal revisions to
its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP revisions that are the
subject of this rulemaking consist of plan approvals and operating
permits for 20 individual sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and/or nitrogen oxides (NOX) located in Pennsylvania. This
rulemaking addresses those plan approvals and operating permits
pertaining to the following sources: (1) Tenneco Gas Pipeline Company--
Station 313, (2) Corning Asahi Video Products Company, (3) Pennsylvania
Power Company--New Castle plant, (4) Columbia Gas Transmission
Company--Easton, (5) Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation--
Bechtelsville, (6) Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation--Grantville,
(7) Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation--Shermans Dale, (8) Texas
Eastern Transmission Corporation--Bedford, (9) Texas Eastern
Transmission Corporation--Perulack/Leidy, (10) Texas Eastern
Transmission Corporation--Bernville, (11) Texas Eastern Transmission
Corporation--Marietta, (12) Hercules Cement Company, (13) Lone Star
Industries, (14) International Paper Company--Hammermill Papers
Division, (15) Pennsylvania Power & Light--Montour SES, (16)
Pennsylvania Electric Company--Shawville, (17) Zinc Corporation of
America--Monaca, (18) Procter and Gamble Paper Products--Mehoopany,
(19) Metropolitan Edison--Portland Generating Station, (20) Columbia
Gas Transmission Corporation--Union City. In addition, on August 11,
1995 (as amended on November 15, 1995), Pennsylvania submitted a RACT
determination and 1990 baseyear emission inventory figures for U.S.
Steel--Fairless Hills for EPA approval into the Pennsylvania SIP.
Therefore, this rulemaking will also address the approval of the RACT
determination for certain emission units at U.S. Steel--Fairless and
the establishment of 1990 baseyear emissions for these emission units.
The other plan approvals and operating permits submitted together with
these being approved today will be addressed in another rulemaking
action.
Pursuant to sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA), Pennsylvania is required to implement RACT for all major VOC and
NOX sources by no later than May 31, 1995. The major source size
is determined by its location, the classification of that area and
whether it is located in the ozone transport region (OTR), which is
established by the CAA. The Pennsylvania portion of the Philadelphia
ozone nonattainment area consists of Bucks, Chester, Delaware,
Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties and is classified as severe. The
remaining counties in Pennsylvania are classified as either moderate or
marginal nonattainment areas or are designated attainment for ozone.
However, under section 184 of the CAA, at a minimum, moderate ozone
nonattainment area requirements (including RACT as specified in
sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f)) apply throughout the OTR. Therefore,
RACT is applicable statewide in Pennsylvania. The January 6, 1995,
April 19, 1995, May 10, 1995, May 31, 1995, August 11, 1995 (as amended
on November 15, 1995), and October 24, 1995 Pennsylvania submittals
that are the subject of this document, are meant to satisfy the RACT
requirements for 20 sources in Pennsylvania and to limit the potential
VOC emissions at one source to below the major source size threshold in
order to avoid the RACT requirement.
Summary of SIP Revision
The details of the RACT requirements for the source-specific plan
approvals and operating permits can be found in the docket and
accompanying technical support document and will not be reiterated in
this document. Briefly, EPA is approving eight plan approvals and
twenty operating permits and one compliance permit as RACT and one
operating permit as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP to limit a
source's emissions to below the major source threshold. Several of the
plan approvals and operating permits contain conditions irrelevant to
the determination of VOC or NOX RACT. Consequently, these
provisions are not being included in this approval for VOC or NOX
RACT. In addition, a correction to the 1990 baseyear emissions
inventory for one source is being made through this rulemaking action.
RACT
EPA is approving the plan approval (PA 53-0001), operating permit
(OP 53-0001), and compliance permit (CP 53-0001) for Tennessee Gas
Pipeline Company--Station 313, located in Potter County. Tennessee Gas
Pipeline Company--Station 313 is a natural gas
[[Page 15710]]
transmission and gas storage station and is considered a major source
of NOX emissions. The compliance permit allows the Company until
May 31, 1996 to comply with the RACT requirements for the installation
of nonselective catalytic reduction (NSCR) technology. EPA is approving
the operating permits (OP 14-0003, OP 14-309-010A, OP 14-309-010C and
OP 14-309-037A) for Corning Asahi Video Products Company, located in
Centre County. Corning Asahi Video Products Company is a glass

Eastern Transmission Corporation--Bernville, located in Berks County.
Texas Eastern Transmission Corp.--Bernville is a natural gas compressor
station and is considered a major source of NOX emissions. EPA is
approving the plan approval (PA 36-2025) for Texas Eastern Transmission
Corporation--Marietta, located in Lancaster County. Texas Eastern
Transmission Corp.--Marietta is a natural gas compressor station and is
considered a major source of NOX emissions. EPA is approving the
plan approval (PA 48-0005A) and operating permit (OP 48-005) for
Hercules Cement Company, located in Northampton County. Hercules Cement
Company is a cement manufacturer and is considered a major source of
NOX emissions. EPA is approving the operating permit (OP 48-0007)
for Lone Star Industries, located in Northampton County. Lone Star

for International Paper Company - Hammermill Papers Division, located
in Clinton County. International Paper Company--Hammermill is a paper
manufacturer and is considered a major source of VOC and NOX
emissions. EPA is approving the plan approval (PA 47-0001A) and
operating permit (OP 47-0001) for Pennsylvania Power & Light (PP&L)--
Montour SES, located in Montour County. PP&L--Montour is a utility and
is considered a major source of VOC and NOX emissions. EPA is
approving the plan approval (PA 17-0001) for Pennsylvania Electric
Company (Penelec)--Shawville, located in Clearfield County. Penelec--

facility and is considered a major source of VOC and NOX
emissions. EPA is approving the plan approval (PA 48-0006A) and
operating permit (48-0006) for Metropolitan Edison--Portland Generating
Station, located in Northampton County. Metropolitan Edison--Portland
is a utility and is considered a major source of NOX emissions.
The specific emission limitations and other RACT requirements for
these sources are summarized in the accompanying technical support
document, which is available from the EPA Region III office. Several of
the plan approvals/operating permits contain a provision that allows
for future changes to the emission limitations based on CEM or other
monitoring data. Since EPA cannot approve emission limitations that are
not currently before it, any changes to the emission limitations as
submitted on January 6, 1995, April 19, 1995, May 10, 1995, May 31,
1995, August 11, 1995 (as amended on November 15, 1995), October 24,
1995, and December 8, 1995, to EPA must be resubmitted to and approved
by EPA in order for these changes to be incorporated into the
Pennsylvania SIP. Consequently, the source-specific RACT emission
limitations that are being approved into the Pennsylvania SIP are those
that were submitted on the above-mentioned dates and are the subject of
this rulemaking action. These emission limitations will remain unless
and until they are replaced pursuant to 40 CFR Part 51 and approved by
the U.S. EPA. In addition, several of the plan approvals and operating
permits contain a general provision that would allow compliance date
extensions at the request of the source and approval by Pennsylvania
without EPA approval. While EPA does not automatically rule out the
possibility of compliance date extensions, EPA cannot pre-approve
compliance date extensions through a general provision such as that
which occurs in those plan approvals and operating permits.t
In addition, EPA is posthumously establishing RACT for the six, now
shutdown, sources at U.S. Steel--Fairless Hills. These six sources are
the no.3 blast furnace, no. 1 open hearth furnace, no.1 soaking pits
(20), no. 2 soaking pits (1-8), no. 2 soaking pits (9-16), and the 80
in. hot strip mill. All of these sources ceased operation and had their
permits revoked on August 1, 1991. Had the no. 1 and 2 soaking pits and
the 80 in. hot strip mill continued to operate, they would have been
required to install low excess air technology, which is expected to
result in a 13.5% emission reduction. RACT for the other sources is
determined to be no additional controls. The total post-RACT NOX
emissions for these six sources is 1301.7 tons per year. The total
post-RACT VOC emissions for these six sources is 18.1 tons per year.
The 1990 base year VOC and NOX
[[Page 15711]]
emissions for the above-named six sources are also being approved. The
VOC and NOX 1990 emissions from the no. 3 blast furnace are zero
for both pollutants. The VOC and NOX 1990 emissions from the no. 1
open hearth furnace are 6.9 TPY and 455.5 TPY, respectively. The VOC
and NOX emissions from the no.1 soaking pits are 6.6 TPY and 91.8
TPY, respectively. The VOC and NOX emissions from the no. 2
soaking pits (units 1-8) are 1.10 TPY and 21.0 TPY, respectively. The
VOC and NOX emissions from the no. 2 soaking pits (units 9-16) are
1.10 TPY and 21.0 TPY, respectively. The VOC and NOX emissions
from the 80 in. hot strip mill are 1.9 TPY and 688.6 TPY, respectively.
EPA is also using this document to recognize the emission reduction
credits created from the shutdown of these emission units; a total of
1301.7 tons of NOX per year and 18.1 tons of VOC per year.
Synthetic Minor Permit
EPA is approving the operating permit (OP 25-892) for Columbia Gas
Transmission Corporation--Union City, located in Erie County. Columbia
Gas Transmission Corp.--Union City is a natural gas compressor station
and had potential NOx emissions greater than 100 tons per year (TPY).
The approval of these conditions will limit the emissions at this
facility to less than 100 TPY and would allow Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation--Union City to avoid being considered a major NOX
source, subject to the major source RACT requirements of the Clean Air
Act and the Pennsylvania regulation.
The technical support document contains the details of each of the
RACT determinations, synthetic minor permit conditions, and 1990
baseyear emissions calculations. It is available at the EPA Region III
office listed in the Addresses section of this document.
EPA is approving this SIP revision without prior proposal because
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates
no adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal
Register publication, EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision
should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be
effective June 10, 1996 unless, by May 9, 1996, adverse or critical
comments are received.
If EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn before
the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will
withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public is
advised that this action will be effective on June 10, 1996. If adverse
comments are received that do not pertain to all documents subject to
this rulemaking action, those documents not affected by the adverse
comments will be finalized in the manner described here. Only those
documents that receive adverse comments will be withdrawn in the manner
described here.
Final Action
EPA is approving eight plan approvals, twenty operating permits and
one compliance permit as RACT for nineteen individual sources, one
operating permit to limit emissions at Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation--Union City to below major source levels, and the RACT
determination and the 1990 baseyear emissions for six emission units at
U.S. Steel--Fairless.
Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or
allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for
revision to any state implementation plan. Each request for revision to
the state implementation plan shall be considered separately in light
of specific technical, economic, and environmental factors and in
relation to relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA
must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of
any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604.
Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small
entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises,
and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than
50,000.
SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the
Clean Air Act do not create any new requirements but simply approve
requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the
Federal SIP approval does not impose any new requirements, the
Administrator certifies that it does not have a significant impact on
any small entities affected. Moreover, due to the nature of the
Federal-State relationship under the CAA, preparation of a flexibility
analysis would constitute Federal inquiry into the economic
reasonableness of state action. The Clean Air Act forbids EPA to base
its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S.
EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).
Under Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA
must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or
final that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated
costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to
the private sector, of $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA
must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with
statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan
for informing and advising any small governments that may be
significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
This Federal action approves pre-existing requirements under State
or local law, and imposes no new Federal requirements. Accordingly, no
additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the
private sector, result from this action.
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action, pertaining to the approval of 20
source-specific VOC and NOX RACT determinations, one synthetic
minor permit, and correction to the 1990 baseyear emissions inventory
in Pennsylvania, must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals
for the appropriate circuit by June 10, 1996. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be
filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action.
This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

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