National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Cellulose Products Manufacturing
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action promulgates national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for cellulose products manufacturing.
Cellulose products manufacturing includes both the Miscellaneous
Viscose Processes source category and the Cellulose Ethers Production
source category. The Miscellaneous Viscose Processes source category
comprises the cellulose food casing, rayon, cellulosic sponge, and
cellophane manufacturing industries. The Cellulose Ethers Production
source category comprises the methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl
cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and
carboxymethyl cellulose manufacturing industries. The EPA has
identified the Miscellaneous Viscose Processes source category and the
Cellulose Ethers Production source category as including major sources
of emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), such as carbon
disulfide (CS2), carbonyl sulfide, ethylene oxide, methanol,
methyl chloride, propylene oxide, and toluene. The final rule will
implement section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by requiring all
major sources to meet HAP emission standards reflecting the application
of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The final rule
will reduce HAP emissions by approximately 1,600 megagrams per year
(Mg/yr) (1,700 tons per year (tpy)). In addition, the final rule will
reduce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions by approximately 410
Mg/yr (450 tpy).
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 11, 2002.

I. Background and Public Participation
Section 112 of the CAA requires us to list categories and
subcategories of major sources and area sources of HAP and to establish
NESHAP for the listed source categories and subcategories. A major
source of HAP is any stationary source or group of stationary sources
located within a contiguous area and under common control that emits or
has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.1 Mg/yr (10
tpy) or more or any combination of HAP at a rate of 23 Mg/yr (25 tpy)
or more.
Section 112 of the CAA requires that we establish NESHAP for the
control of HAP from both new and existing major sources. The CAA
requires the NESHAP to reflect the maximum degree of reduction in
emissions of HAP that is achievable. This level of control is commonly
referred to as MACT.
The MACT floor is the minimum control level allowed for NESHAP and
is defined under section 112(d)(3) of the CAA. In essence, the MACT
floor ensures that the standard is set at a level that assures that all
major sources achieve the level of control at least as stringent as
that already achieved by the better-controlled and lower-emitting
sources in each source category or subcategory. For new sources, the
MACT floor cannot be less stringent than the emission control that is
achieved in practice by the best-controlled similar source. The MACT
standards for existing sources can be less stringent than standards for
new sources, but they cannot be less stringent than the average
emission limitation achieved by the best-performing 12 percent of
existing sources in the category or subcategory (or the best-performing
five sources for categories or subcategories with fewer than 30
sources).
In developing MACT, we also consider control options that are more
stringent than the floor. We may establish standards more stringent
than the floor based on the consideration of cost of achieving the
emissions reductions, any non-air quality health and environmental
impacts, and energy requirements.
On July 16, 1992 (57 FR 31576), we published an initial list of
source categories slated for regulation under section 112(c) of the
CAA. That initial list included the Cellulose Food Casings, Rayon,
Cellophane, Methyl Cellulose, Carboxymethyl Cellulose, and Cellulose
Ethers Production source categories. The Cellulose Ethers Production
source category on the initial list included the hydroxyethyl
cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose
manufacturing industries.
In developing the proposed rule for cellulose products
manufacturing, we identified another cellulose products manufacturing
industry, cellulosic sponge manufacturing, that was not on the initial
source category list. We added Cellulosic Sponges to the source
category list on November 18, 1999 (64 FR 63026) in accordance with
section 112(c) of the CAA.
We proposed the standards for cellulose products manufacturing on
August 28, 2000 (65 FR 52166). In the proposal, we combined the various
cellulose products manufacturing source categories on the initial
source category list with the Cellulosic Sponge source category to
create two new source categories. Specifically, we combined the
existing Cellulose Food Casing, Rayon, Cellulosic Sponge, and
Cellophane source categories to create a new source category which is
called ``Miscellaneous Viscose Processes.'' We combined the existing
Methyl Cellulose, Carboxymethyl Cellulose, and Cellulose Ethers
Production source categories to create a newly expanded ``Cellulose
Ethers Production'' source category. On February 12, 2002 (67 FR 6521),
we published an updated source category list that includes the
Miscellaneous Viscose Processes and Cellulose Ethers Production source
categories.
As in the proposal, the final standards for cellulose products
manufacturing give most existing sources 3 years from the date of
promulgation to comply. The final standards also give existing rayon
operations 8 years from the date of promulgation to comply with the 40
percent reduction emission limit for their viscose process vents.
Sources that begin construction or reconstruction after August 28, 2000
must comply with the standards for new sources by June 11, 2002 or upon
startup, whichever is later.
Emission limits, operating limits, and work practice standards, as
well as initial and continuous compliance requirements, and
notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements are included in
the final rule. All of these components are necessary to ensure that
sources comply with the standards both initially and over time.
However, we have made every effort to simplify the requirements in the
rule.
The preamble for the proposed standards described the rationale for
the proposed standards. Public comments were solicited at the time of
proposal. The public comment period lasted from August 28, 2000 to
October 27, 2000. Industry representatives, regulatory agencies,
environmental groups, and the general public were given the opportunity
to comment on the proposed rule and to provide additional information
during and after the public comment period. Although we offered at
proposal the opportunity for oral presentation of data, views, or
arguments concerning the proposed rule, no one requested a hearing, and
a hearing was not held.
We received a total of 23 letters containing comments on the
proposed rule during and after the public comment period. Commenters
included individual cellulose products manufacturing companies,
industry trade associations, and an association of State and local
regulatory agencies. Today's final rule reflects our full consideration
of all of the comments received. Major public comments on the proposed
rule, along with our responses to those comments, are summarized in
this preamble. See the Summary of Public Comments and Responses
memorandum for a more detailed discussion of public comments and our
responses (Docket No. A-99-39).
II. Summary of Major Changes Since Proposal
The major changes made to the proposed rule based on public
comments are described in the sections below. A more comprehensive
summary of changes can be found in Docket No. A-99-39.
A. All Affected Sources
In today's final rule, we have added an exemption for research and
development facilities. We have revised the definition for ``process
vent'' to include exemptions for small vents with very low
concentrations and flow rates. We have added a section that discusses
the overlap between the requirements of the final rule and the
requirements of other rules.
We have added definitions for ``process unit'' and revised
definitions for ``operation'' for the various viscose process and
cellulose ether industries to provide greater clarification of what is
covered under the final rule. Each process unit includes all equipment
used to manufacture the respective products and any associated storage
vessels, liquid streams in open systems, and equipment components. Each
operation includes the collection of the
[[Page 40046]]
respective process units and other equipment, including heat exchanger
systems, wastewater and waste management units, and cooling towers.
Consistent with the revised definitions for ``operation'' for the
various viscose process and cellulose ether industries, we have adopted
work practice standards for heat exchanger systems from 40 CFR 63.104.
For all affected sources with a closed-vent system containing a bypass
line that could divert a vent stream away from a control device, we
have adopted work practice standards for bypass lines from 40 CFR
63.148. In order to provide this exemption, we have adopted the related
work practice standards for closed-vent systems from 40 CFR 63.148. We
have also adopted the applicable initial and continuous compliance
provisions, reporting and recordkeeping provisions, and definitions
associated with heat exchanger systems, bypass lines, and closed-vent
systems from 40 CFR part 63, subparts F and G of the Hazardous Organic
NESHAP (HON).
We have reduced the number of biofilter operating limits to three
(pressure drop, inlet gas temperature, and effluent pH), which would be
less burdensome and more easily measurable than the eight operating
limits at proposal. We have also added alternative parameters for
condensers (outlet liquid temperature) and scrubbers (conductivity and
alkalinity).
We have clarified the proposed performance test requirements to
require that all affected sources conducting a performance test only
test the inlet and outlet of their control device. We are not requiring
sources to test their uncontrolled stacks. We have revised the batch
process vent testing provisions, replacing the worst-case testing
provisions adopted from 40 CFR 63.1257 with alternative testing
provisions adopted from 40 CFR 63.490. We have added two voluntary
consensus standards as alternatives to EPA Methods 3B and 18. We have
added performance test exemptions for boilers, process heaters, and
hazardous waste incinerators that meet certain conditions specified in
the final rule. We have clarified the initial compliance requirements
to state that sources are not required to conduct a performance test to
determine the flare control efficiency, based on the assumption that a
properly operated flare will achieve an emission reduction of 98
percent.
We have changed the deadline for conducting the initial compliance
demonstration from 180 days before to 180 days after the compliance
date. To enable affected sources to demonstrate compliance between the
compliance date and the date of the initial compliance demonstration,
we have added a provision requiring sources to maintain an operation
and maintenance (O&M) log of the process and emissions control
equipment during this period.
We have adopted the methods in 40 CFR 63.505 for determining
operating limits to allow sources to establish operating limits for
batch process vents based on the average of all values obtained during
the compliance demonstration and to establish operating limits for
continuous process vents (and combined batch and continuous process
vents) based on the average of the maximum (or minimum) values of the
parameter.
For those sources that decide to use continuous emissions
monitoring systems (CEMS) to demonstrate compliance, we have added CEMS
performance specifications, recordkeeping and reporting provisions, and
monitoring installation, operation, and maintenance provisions. We have
replaced the proposed requirement for 3-hour averages of recorded
readings with daily averages. We have changed the proposed data
availability requirement for valid hourly data from 66 percent of every
averaging period (e.g., two valid hourly values for a 3-hour averaging
period) to 75 percent of the hours during an operating day. A valid
hour of data means that sources must have data for all 15-minute
periods that were not excluded for no flow.
We have revised the submittal date for the notification of
compliance status (NOCS) report to require that it be submitted 240
days after the compliance date, rather than 60 days after completion of
the initial performance test or 30 days after completion of the initial
compliance demonstration. In this way, if sources conduct more than one
test or other compliance demonstration, they would not have to submit
multiple NOCS reports at different times.
We have also replaced the requirement that sources submit immediate
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) reports if they take actions
inconsistent with this SSM plan. Now, sources must submit those reports
with the next semiannual compliance report.
We have extended the report filing deadline for semiannual
compliance reports from 30 to 60 days after the end of the compliance
period, consistent with 40 CFR part 63, subpart G HON, because some
sources are subject to several NESHAP.
B. Viscose Process Affected Sources
We have revised the proposed 55 percent reduction emission limit
for viscose process vents at existing rayon operations. In today's
final rule, we are requiring existing rayon operations to meet a two-
stage emission reduction requirement--35 percent reduction within 3
years after the effective date and 40 percent reduction within 8 years
after the effective date. We have revised the compliance dates for
existing rayon operations accordingly. We have also revised the
proposed 85 percent reduction emission limit for viscose process vents
at cellophane operations. In today's final rule, we are requiring
cellophane operations to meet a 75 percent reduction emission limit.
We have added a fourth alternative standard for CS2
unloading and storage operations that allows affected sources to comply
by installing a nitrogen unloading system and obtaining a 0.045 percent
reduction from viscose process vents. We have also added initial and
continuous compliance provisions and recordkeeping provisions that
correspond to this alternative. We have clarified that the 83 percent
reduction emission limit, and the corresponding initial and continuous
compliance provisions, for CS2 unloading and storage
operations apply to affected sources using an alternative control
technique not listed in the final rule.
We have revised the initial compliance demonstration requirements
to require viscose process affected sources to conduct a month-long
compliance demonstration to demonstrate initial compliance, as opposed
to the 3-hour performance test specified at proposal. The sources would
report the results of the initial compliance demonstration in the NOCS
report and keep records of the initial compliance demonstration. The
sources would also establish their operating limits over the period of
the month-long compliance demonstration.
Affected sources that use recovery devices and/or process changes
to meet the applicable emission limit would demonstrate initial
compliance during the month-long compliance demonstration using
information on raw material receipts, measured CS2
recovered, etc., in their material balance calculations to determine
their overall percent reduction in emissions. No recovery device
testing would be necessary.
Affected sources that must use non-recovery control devices to meet
the applicable emission limit would be required to conduct a
performance test to determine the control efficiency of
[[Page 40047]]
their non-recovery control device. The sources would incorporate this
control efficiency information into their material balance
calculations, which they would use during the month-long compliance
demonstration to determine their overall percent reduction in
emissions.
C. Cellulose Ether Affected Sources
In today's final rule, we have revised the definition for
``cellulose ether process'' to specifically exclude solids handling
steps downstream of the drying process. We have replaced 40 CFR part
65, subpart F (Consolidated Air Rule), with 40 CFR part 63, subpart UU
(Generic MACT NESHAP), as an alternative to 40 CFR part 63, subpart H
(HON), for equipment leak provisions. We have added work practice
standards for maintenance wastewater from 40 CFR 63.105 and liquid
streams in open systems from 40 CFR 63.149. We have also adopted the
applicability provisions, initial and continuous compliance provisions,
reporting and recordkeeping provisions, and definitions associated with
equipment leaks, wastewater, and liquid streams in open systems from 40
CFR part 63, subparts F, G, and H of the HON.
We have eliminated the proposed requirement for cellulose ether
affected sources to demonstrate continuous compliance by complying with
an ongoing 99 percent reduction determination. However, these sources
must still comply with the applicable operating limits to demonstrate
continuous compliance. We have added initial and continuous compliance
requirements and recordkeeping requirements for sources using extended
cookout to comply with the 99 percent reduction emission limit. We have
added a voluntary consensus standard as an alternative to EPA Method
624.
III. Summary of Responses to Major Comments
This section summarizes major comments we received on the proposed
rule and our responses to those comments. Only those major comments
that resulted in an appreciable change to the proposed rule are
included. A more comprehensive summary of comments and responses can be
found in Docket No. A-99-39.
A. Emission Limits, Operating Limits, and Work Practice Standards
Comment: One commenter did not support the process vent MACT floor
for rayon operations (55 percent reduction). The commenter stated that
selecting the highest CS2 recovery operation as the MACT
floor is not appropriate because both rayon operations have control
equipment in place. The commenter stated that the fairest, most
equitable approach would be to average the 25 and 55 percent control
levels of the two rayon operations, resulting in an average 40 percent
MACT floor control level which the commenter felt their rayon operation
could meet with available technology. The commenter estimated that,
because of their fragile business environment, a 35 percent reduction
is the maximum that their rayon operation could achieve in the next 3
years, and they requested an additional 5 years (8 years total) to make
the additional investment to meet a 40 percent MACT floor control
level.
Response: Due to the shutdown of the MACT floor rayon operation,
the commenter's lesser-controlled rayon operation is the only remaining
rayon operation in the United States. Because the shutdown occurred
after proposal, we have the option of keeping the current 55 percent
reduction as the MACT floor or establishing a less stringent MACT
floor. In light of the shutdown of the only other rayon operation
providing information regarding available control technology, we have
decided to establish a less stringent MACT floor (40 percent), which
the commenter stated would be achievable with available technology.
This less stringent MACT floor is higher than the 25 percent control
level achieved by the commenter's rayon operation at proposal. Based on
the information provided by the commenter, we have decided to implement
a staged reduction strategy to facilitate the remaining rayon
operation's achieving the 40 percent MACT floor control level. In
today's final rule, we are requiring the remaining rayon operation to
achieve a 35 percent reduction by 3 years after the effective date and
achieve a 40 percent reduction 5 years later (8 years after the
effective date).
Comment: One commenter stated that the 85 percent MACT floor
control rate for viscose process vents at cellophane operations is
overstated. The commenter stated that because theirs is the only
cellophane operation in the United States, the MACT floors for the
cellophane industry should be based on the information that they
submitted and should reflect their source's current operational status.
The commenter noted that the 85 percent control rate was based on
information that they submitted in their response to EPA's section 114
information collection request (ICR), and their company had been
operating the cellophane operation for only a few months when the ICR
was issued. The commenter stated that they did not have long-term data
on sulfide control rates or operational parameters at the time, so they
determined the sulfide control rate for their section 114 ICR response
using annualized engineering estimates based on their best estimate of
actual operating conditions at the source. Based on new data, which
they provided to EPA, the commenter calculated that their cellophane
operation actually controls approximately 75 to 80 percent of total
uncontrolled sulfide emissions. The commenter recommended that the MACT
floor control rate be reduced to 75 percent to accurately reflect their
source's current operational status, taking into account variability in
the emission control rate.
Response: We agree with the commenter that the proposed MACT floor
control rate is overstated. We have examined the corroborating data
provided by the commenter, agree with the findings, and have revised
the process vent MACT floor and emission limit for the cellophane
industry to require 75 percent control of sulfide emissions.
Comment: Two commenters noted that, in establishing MACT standards
for CS2 unloading and storage operations, EPA failed to
address the situation in which a nitrogen control system includes
CS2 unloading but not CS2 storage. One of the
commenters requested that EPA add a fourth compliance option to account
for this situation and allow the reduction of emissions from the
process vents by the appropriate amount. The commenter noted that their
source has installed a nitrogen system for CS2 unloading but
is keeping the existing water system for CS2 storage. The
commenter stated that EPA should provide appropriate credit for this
nitrogen unloading system. Analyses by the commenter on the amount of
CS2 emitted from their storage tanks during tank car
unloading suggested that the additional reduction of emissions from the
process vents should be 0.045 percent.
Response: We agree with the request from the commenter for a fourth
alternative for sources with nitrogen unloading but no nitrogen padding
for CS2 storage. The fourth alternative requires affected
sources to install a nitrogen unloading system and reduce emissions
from process vents by 0.045 percent, which, based on the commenter's
data, is equivalent to the emission reduction achieved by converting
from water padding to nitrogen padding for CS2 storage.
[[Page 40048]]
B. Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements
Comment: Several commenters from the viscose process industry
objected to the initial performance testing requirements in the
proposed rule. Pointing out that their operations have multiple stacks,
process vents, and control devices, the commenters stated that
performing tests on all of these simultaneously would be impractical
and expensive. Commenters noted that the low flow and high humidity
typical of viscose process vents would make it difficult to obtain a
flow sufficient for testing. Commenters also pointed out that EPA's
testing approach would yield a highly concentrated CS2
emission stream, but EPA's test method (EPA Method 15 in Appendix A of
40 CFR part 60) is designed for relatively low pollutant
concentrations. One commenter stated that the inlet/outlet testing
approach is irrelevant where the entire operation serves as the control
device, and CS2 is being removed throughout the process.
Commenters also stated that the initial performance testing
requirements in the proposed rule would be dangerous to implement. They
pointed out that EPA Method 15 would require drilling holes and
inserting a heated probe into the lines before and after the control
device; these procedures would allow leakage of air into the system and
invite the risk of fire and explosion because of CS2's wide
flammable range, very low autoignition temperature, and very low
autoignition energy.
Three commenters indicated that the initial performance testing
requirements are also inconsistent with the material balance approach
which is the method EPA used to establish the cellulose MACT standards
and the required method for viscose process affected sources to
demonstrate ongoing compliance with the cellulose MACT standards. The
commenter stated that it would make sense to require the demonstration
of initial compliance to be on the same basis as the demonstration of
ongoing compliance.
Two commenters stated that it would also be difficult to get a
meaningful range of monitoring parameter values from three short tests.
One of the commenters stated that monitoring parameter values should be
established based on data from performance tests conducted over a
longer period, such as 1 month. The two commenters stated that a longer
test period is necessary, particularly since continuous compliance with
the various percent emission reduction requirements in the rule is
based on a 6-month rolling average.
Response: We acknowledge that the initial compliance requirements
should be revised for greater clarity. For today's final rule, we are
requiring viscose process affected sources to demonstrate their initial
compliance with the applicable percent reduction emission limit by
conducting a month-long compliance demonstration using a material
balance for their sources. This approach is consistent with the
material balance approach presented by the commenters. This material
balance requirement would not apply to cellulose ether affected
sources. For those viscose process affected sources that use recovery
devices (e.g., carbon adsorbers, condensers, or oil absorbers) and/or
process changes to meet the applicable emission limit, initial
compliance would be demonstrated during the month-long compliance
demonstration with material balance calculations using raw material
receipts, measured CS2 recovered, etc. No recovery device
testing would be necessary. For those viscose process affected sources
that must use non-recovery control devices (e.g., biofilters, flares,
scrubbers, or thermal oxidizers) to meet the applicable emission limit,
testing would be required at the inlet and outlet of the non-recovery
control devices to determine the control efficiency of the non-recovery
control devices. Testing would not be required at uncontrolled stacks.
The viscose process affected sources would incorporate the control
efficiency information from the performance test into their material
balance calculations, which they would then use during the month-long
compliance demonstration to determine their overall percent reduction
in emissions.
We disagree with the commenters' assumption that they would need to
test everything at their operations simultaneously. We also disagree
with the commenters' assertions that EPA Method 15 cannot be used on
viscose process streams because of the high concentration of
CS2 in the streams. Sources should be able to simply dilute
the emission stream sample prior to the analysis. Regarding the
commenters' other concerns about using EPA Method 15, viscose process
affected sources are not limited to using EPA Method 15 to measure the
emissions at the inlet and outlet of the control device. Sources are
being given the option to use an EPA-approved alternative test method
or emissions monitoring devices such as CEMS to measure the inlet and
outlet emissions and determine the control efficiency.
Comment: Three commenters questioned EPA's use of provisions from
40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG (Pharmaceuticals NESHAP) regarding worst-
case testing conditions for batch process vents. Noting that this
requirement applies only to vents with control devices, two of the
commenters argued that the concept of a worst-case scenario is not
appropriate for the viscose process industries, where the vents are
uncontrolled. One of these two commenters also noted that, because
CS2 is emitted during only certain portions of the
production cycle, the worst-case emission scenario lasts only for a
matter of minutes, so extrapolating from this scenario would result in
a very elevated, artificial emission level. The two commenters stated
that measuring the total amount of HAP emitted over a cycle is the only
appropriate way to measure CS2 emissions from viscose
process vents, rather than some artificial worst-case scenario.
According to one of the commenters, variations inherent in the viscose
process make it impossible to identify a representative cycle in
advance, but these variations could be accounted for more effectively
over a longer period, such as a month-long compliance determination.
A third commenter stated that in order to generate the absolute
worst-case conditions required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG, they
would have to change the way their processes run, which could include
running at maximum production rates, making the highest-HAP recipe, or
changing process variables to generate the highest-HAP emission stream.
According to the commenter, these situations could result in
substantial amounts of unordered or off-spec product, causing severe
financial hardship as well as environmental impacts from the disposal
of the unwanted product and the artificially increased HAP emissions
from performing the test. Finally, putting their equipment under
unusual stress could result in expensive breakdowns or even hazards to
safety or the environment. As one alternative, the commenter suggested
that EPA defer entirely to 40 CFR part 63, subpart U (Group I Polymers
and Resins (P&R I) NESHAP) or subpart JJJ (Group IV Polymers and Resins
(P&R IV) NESHAP) for all batch process vent testing requirements. The
commenter stated that these provisions would still require them to
conduct the test during the most rigorous conditions but would not
damage their equipment or make unwanted products.
Response: In response to the various comments, we have decided to
replace the worst-case testing provisions in 40
[[Page 40049]]
CFR part 63, subpart GGG (Pharmaceuticals NESHAP), with alternative
batch process vent testing provisions in 40 CFR part 63, subpart U (P&R
I NESHAP). Similar to the approach in subpart GGG, this approach would
still require industry to conduct the performance test during the most
rigorous conditions. This change should address the concerns voiced by
all of the commenters.
As we have already noted in another response, viscose process
affected sources that use recovery devices and/or process changes to
meet the applicable emission limit would demonstrate initial compliance
during the month-long compliance demonstration with material balance
calculations, using information about raw material receipts, measured
CS2 recovered, etc. No recovery device testing would be
necessary.
Comment: Several commenters stated that the testing requirements
during the initial compliance demonstration create problems with
establishing operating limits. Two of the commenters (viscose process
operations) stated that it would not be possible to determine suitable
ranges for the operating limits during only 3 hours of testing in the
initial performance test. One commenter stated that operating limits
should be determined over a variety of operating scenarios in order to
define the boundaries of monitoring parameter values upon which to
demonstrate compliance. The other commenter stated that a test
conducted over a longer period, such as 1 month, using their
operation's proposed material balance method, would identify the full
acceptable range of parameter values to monitor.
A third commenter (a cellulose ether operation) recommended that a
minimum or maximum operating limit be established based on the
monitoring parameter values measured during the performance test and
extended beyond those values if it can be demonstrated by engineering
assessments and/or manufacturer's recommendations that the unit will
still meet the proposed standard. The commenter stated that performance
testing should not be required to be conducted over the source's entire
operational range. The commenter also stated that affected sources
would have a very narrow window of compliance if monitored parameter
data are collected during ``normal'' operating conditions and further
``normalized'' by averaging all the data points. The commenter stated
that it must be clear that all data points measured during the
performance test are acceptable. The commenter also stated that the
source should not be required to retest every time there is some normal
variation in production relative to the conditions of the initial
performance test.
Response: In response to the first two commenters (viscose process
operations), we have decided to revise the cellulose rule to allow
viscose process affected sources to establish their operating limits
over the month-long initial compliance demonstration, which should
provide the sources sufficient time to establish their operating
limits.
In response to one comment by the third commenter (a cellulose
ether operation), we have decided to revise the procedures for
determining operating limits consistent with the approach taken in 40
CFR part 63, subpart U (P&R I NESHAP). For batch process vents, we are
requiring that sources establish the operating limit based on the
average of all monitoring values obtained during the performance test
(or month-long compliance demonstration for viscose process affected
sources), consistent with the approach in 40 CFR 63.505(b)(3). For
continuous process vents, we are requiring that the sources establish
the operating limit based on the average of the maximum (or minimum)
values of the monitoring parameter for the three test runs (or daily
averages during the compliance demonstration for viscose process
affected sources), consistent with the approach in 40 CFR 63.505(b)(2).
If sources combine their batch and continuous process vents, we are
requiring that they establish their operating limit using the
continuous process vent approach.
In response to another comment by the third commenter, testing
would not be required over their source's entire operational range. We
disagree with the third commenter's suggestion to supplement or extend
the values from the test as in the HON. The HON was written that way
because we were trying to have the owner/operator justify a range, not
establish a limit. We have also clarified that affected sources would
establish what are considered ``normal'' operating conditions for
continuous operation during the initial performance test. The sources
would then be required to meet the operating limits established during
the initial performance test.
Comment: Several commenters objected to the proposed requirement
for sources to conduct the initial performance test at least 180 days
before the compliance date. Commenters argued that EPA had provided no
justification, as required, for this deviation from EPA's past
practice. With the notification of performance test due at least 60
days before the performance test, commenters stated that this would
require sources to start preparing for the performance test 240 to 360
days prior to the compliance date in order to be confident that the
test can be passed. Two commenters noted that requests for an
alternative monitoring method may have to occur even earlier, making it
unrealistic for an affected source to apply for EPA approval to use the
alternative method because of insufficient time to obtain EPA approval
and purchase and install the alternative equipment. One commenter
stated that it makes more technical sense to conduct a performance test
after the unit is required to be in compliance rather than before.
Therefore, the commenters recommended that EPA revise the deadline for
performance testing consistent with 40 CFR 63.7(a), which requires an
initial performance test be conducted within 180 days after the
compliance date.
Response: Based on these comments, we have decided to revise the
proposed requirement and allow sources to complete their performance
test or other initial compliance demonstration no later than 180 days
after the compliance date. Our intention for requiring the earlier date
was to ensure that sources would be in compliance by the compliance
date and allow sources to avoid severe penalties for noncompliance if
they found themselves out of compliance based on a test conducted 180
days after the compliance date. To ensure that a record of compliance
is kept between the compliance date and the date that operating limits
are set (i.e., date of the performance test or other initial compliance
demonstration), today's final rule also requires sources to maintain an
O&M log of the process and emissions control equipment during this
period.
C. Continuous Compliance Requirements
Comment: One commenter suggested that EPA allow outlet liquid
temperature as an alternative operating limit to outlet gas temperature
for condensers, stating that this variable is directly related to
outlet gas temperature and is the control point for changing air
temperature. Noting that the pH of caustic liquids used in a wet
scrubber may be on the extreme end of the pH scale, a second commenter
suggested that EPA allow either a pH or conductivity measuring device
for determining compliance with the operating limit for wet scrubbers.
A
[[Page 40050]]
third commenter stated that their operation measures the available
alkalinity, not the pH, in the circulating system for their wet
scrubbers, and stated that pH meters would not be as reliable as the
current system. A fourth commenter stated that liquid flow rate and
pressure drop measurements do not always indicate the required wet
scrubber performance. The commenter stated that it is possible for a
scrubber to meet required control efficiencies and still sustain a
pressure or liquid flow reduction. The commenter noted that other
parameters, such as adequate pack height and liquid distribution, are
technically more accurate indicators of scrubber performance.
Response: In response to these comments, we have revised the
proposed requirements to include some of the additional parameters
requested by commenters (i.e., condenser liquid outlet temperature for
condensers and conductivity and alkalinity for wet scrubbers). However,
we have not added adequate pack height and liquid distribution as
additional wet scrubber parameters because we are not convinced that
they are good parameters. Adequate pack height is a characteristic of
the control device, not the kind of parameter that could be monitored
continuously, and liquid distribution is a difficult type of parameter
to monitor. Nonetheless, sources have the option under the rule to
apply to the Administrator for approval to use alternative parameters.
Comment: One commenter stated that the proposed rule lacks the
following essential provisions, developed for other MACT standards,
regarding the proper use of parameter monitoring data for purposes of
enforcement: (1) Specify that excursions violate an operating limit,
not an emission limit; (2) base excursions on a 24-hour daily average
to account for short-term fluctuations, which typically self-correct so
that the daily average reading is normal; (3) allow a number of excused
excursions in each semiannual reporting period to account for periods
when something goes wrong despite how carefully an emission control
device is designed, operated, and maintained (according to the
commenter, without excused excursions, sources would be unable to
ensure compliance); (4) exclude data from certain periods (e.g.,
startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, calibrations, periods of
nonoperation of all or part of the process) from daily averages because
those data are of questionable validity; (5) require no monitoring when
the process is shut down and there are no emissions, and, if sources do
monitor, specify that the data do not constitute an excursion; (6)
specify that only one excursion will be assigned if two or more
parameters go beyond their limits at the same time for the same control
device; (7) clearly define what constitutes an excursion; and (8)
specify that some limited percentage of data points can be missing or
fail to meet applicable criteria without that being an excursion.
The commenter requested that EPA revise the data availability
requirement to match 40 CFR part 63, subpart G (HON), for continuous
vents and wastewater vents and 40 CFR part 63, subpart U (P&R I NESHAP)
or subpart JJJ (P&R IV NESHAP), for batch vents and storage vessel
vents. The commenter noted that because the daily average in 40 CFR
part 63, subpart G, is based on having valid data points for 75 percent
of the operating day, the actual operating day for a batch process
could be adjusted for periods when the unit was not operating or not
sending vents to the control device. The commenter contrasted this with
the 3-hour averages required in the proposed rule, which may or may not
coincide accurately with the operational time of a batch process.
In separate comments, two other commenters recommended that EPA
insert data availability language similar to 40 CFR 60.48b(f)
(Performance Standard for Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam
Generating Units). According to the commenters, this subpart requires
that data must be available for a minimum of 75 percent of the
operating hours for each control device operating day in at least 22
out of 30 successive control device operating days. The commenters
stated that this change would allow EPA to account for the realities of
operating computerized systems, which require periodic backup and
occasionally break down and cannot be repaired in 1 hour in order to
comply with the proposed 66 percent data availability requirement
(e.g., two valid hourly values for a 3-hour averaging period).
Response: Regarding the first requested provision, the proposed
rule does not link deviations in operating limits with violations of
emission limits.
Regarding the second provision, the concept of a 24-hour average
would be consistent with other rules and seems reasonable. Therefore,
we have made the requested change to today's final rule.
Regarding the third provision, we are not allowing excused
excursions (deviations) in today's final rule. Excused excursions were
allowed in the HON to give sources time to become familiar with the new
monitoring provisions in the HON. The excursions were not meant to be
precedent-setting for all future rules. We believe that industry in
general has had sufficient time to develop strategies for complying
with monitoring requirements, and that excused excursions are no longer
necessary. Other recent rules also have been issued without excused
excursions.
Regarding the fourth and fifth provisions, there is no problem with
including the requested exemption for periods of nonoperation for all
or part of a source, and we have made the requested change to today's
final rule. However, we are not adding exemptions to today's final rule
for startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions. According to 40 CFR
63.6(e)(1)(i) of the NESHAP General Provisions, sources are required to
minimize emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
If the daily average parameter value (including data from the startup,
shutdown, or malfunction period) does not exceed the specified limit,
then there is no deviation to report. However, deviations on days when
you have startup, shutdown, or malfunction events would not be
violations if you follow the procedures in your SSM plan.
Regarding the sixth provision, we have not included the requested
exemption to allow sources only one excursion when two or more
parameters go beyond their limits at the same time for the same control
device. We do not want to specify in each rule exactly how we are going
to assess penalties.
Regarding the eighth provision, we agree with the requests from the
three commenters that the data availability requirements be revised.
Consistent with the approach taken in 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGG
(Pharmaceuticals NESHAP) and subpart MMM (Pesticide Active Ingredients
NESHAP), we are requiring that at least 75 percent of the hours during
an operating day be valid. We are including a 100 percent data
availability requirement for a valid hour of data. A valid hour of data
means that sources must have data for all 15-minute periods that were
not excluded for no flow. For batch vents, if there is no flow at the
time when a monitoring reading is taken, then that reading does not
count in the average. In this way, we are able to take into account
both batch and continuous vents, with a clear definition of what
constitutes an excursion in each case, which was requested in the
seventh provision. However, we do not agree with the request by two of
the commenters for data to be available in at least 22 out of 30
successive operating days. We believe that such a
[[Page 40051]]
requirement could create a problem under some situations, such as if a
source were to shut down for maintenance for an extended period of
time.
D. Notifications and Reports
Comment: One commenter recommended that EPA revise the proposed
cellulose rule to require that all NOCS reports be due on the same date
following the compliance date, rather than after a certain number of
days following the initial performance test or the initial compliance
demonstration. According to the commenter, multiple performance tests
for a process unit would make the original requirement to submit based
on the performance test date very confusing, possibly requiring sources
to submit multiple NOCS reports at various times, making it very easy
to miscalculate a date and create inadvertent noncompliance. The
commenter stated that there should also be no difference in the
timeframe to submit the NOCS reports based on whether or not a
performance test is required. According to the commenter, it would be
more efficient for sources to send, and for EPA to receive, one set of
NOCS reports. The commenter recommended that EPA take a standardized
approach to NOCS reports by adding text similar to 40 CFR 63.152(b) and
deleting references to 40 CFR 63.9(h) and 63.10(d)(2), which address
the submittal dates for NOCS reports.
Response: We agree with the commenter that requiring sources to
submit NOCS reports at various times could be confusing. To eliminate
this source of confusion, we have decided to tie the date to submit all
initial NOCS reports to the compliance date rather than the test date.
Sources would be required to submit the NOCS reports no later than 240
days after the compliance date. This submittal date is based on the
requirements in 40 CFR part 63, subpart A (NESHAP General Provisions),
to conduct the initial performance test no later than 180 days after
the compliance date and submit the NOCS report no later than 60 days
after the performance test (180 days plus 60 days equals 240 days). To
accomplish this standardized schedule, we have, as suggested, adapted
text from 40 CFR 63.152(b) for today's final rule and excluded the
provisions of 40 CFR 63.9(h) and 63.10(d)(2) regarding the submittal
date for NOCS reports.
IV. Summary of Impacts
A. Air Quality Impacts
We have determined nationwide baseline HAP emissions from existing
sources in the Miscellaneous Viscose Processes source category and
Cellulose Ethers Production source category to be approximately 12,800
Mg/yr (14,100 tpy) at the current level of control. We have determined
that the promulgated standards will reduce total HAP emissions from
these sources by approximately 1,600 Mg/yr (1,700 tpy).
In addition to reducing emissions of HAP, the promulgated standards
will also reduce emissions of non-HAP, such as H2S. We have
determined that the promulgated standards will reduce H2S
emissions from existing sources by approximately 410 Mg/yr (450 tpy)
from a baseline level of approximately 2,800 Mg/yr (3,100 tpy).
We have determined that the promulgated standards will increase
secondary emissions of criteria pollutants (particulate matter, sulfur
dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides) by approximately 190 Mg/
yr (210 tpy). Secondary emissions were assumed to be generated from the
utility boilers that produce the electricity and the industrial boilers
that produce the steam for the control devices.
B. Cost Impacts
We have determined that the capital costs of the promulgated
standards for existing sources will be approximately $30.8 million for
emission control and $0.6 million for monitoring, which results in a
total capital cost of approximately $31.4 million. The capital costs
include the costs to purchase and install the emission control and
monitoring equipment.
We have determined that the total annual costs for the rule will be
approximately $9.7 million. Specifically, we have determined that the
incremental annual costs of the promulgated standards for existing
sources will be approximately $9.2 million for emission control and
$0.4 million for monitoring. The annual costs include the direct annual
costs (comprised of labor, materials, and utilities) plus the indirect
annual costs (comprised of overhead, taxes, insurance, administrative
charges, and capital recovery).
In addition, we expect that the total annual costs for
recordkeeping and reporting required by the promulgated standards for
existing sources will average approximately $67,900 over the first 3
years after implementation of the standards. We project no new sources
over the first 3 years after implementation of the standards.
C. Economic Impacts
Because of the variability in end products in cellulose products
manufacturing, we assessed impacts on five separate market segments. We
treated the Cellulose Ethers Production source category as one segment,
and divided the Miscellaneous Viscose Processes source category into
four segments: cellulose food casing, rayon, cellulosic sponge, and
cellophane. The total annualized social cost (in 1998 dollars) of the
final rule on the industry is $6.0 million, with costs to the firms
affected by the final rule ranging from 0.01 to 1 percent of sales.
For individual facilities, the cost-to-sales ratios ranged from
less than 0.01 to 8.2 percent of sales. Since the higher facility cost-
to-sales ratios were found among the cellulose food casing, rayon, and
cellulosic sponge segments, we performed a market analysis, using 1998
as the baseline. The results indicated less than 1.5 percent change in
both the market prices and in the quantity produced for the cellulose
food casing and cellulosic sponge segments.
One of the two rayon firms has left the market since the proposal
of this rule. For this reason, the remaining firm was modeled assuming
full absorption of the control costs. This firm was already operating
with a negative profit. It is possible that the closure of the other
rayon firm may increase sales and profitability for the remaining firm.
However, this is uncertain given the decline in the rayon industry
since 1998. Available economic data suggest that an additional facility
in this source category has experienced negative profits since 1998, so
two facilities could reasonably close if current trends in the industry
continue, even if they did not incur compliance costs from the final
rule. The impact of the promulgated standards may be that the closures
may occur sooner than they would otherwise.
D. Non-Air Environmental Impacts
We have determined that wastewater generation for existing sources
will increase by approximately 8.1 million liters per year (L/yr) (2.1
million gallons per year (gal/yr)) relative to a baseline level of
approximately 23 billion L/yr (6.2 billion gal/yr), and solid waste
generation will increase by approximately 420 Mg/yr (460 tpy). We
determined these impacts based on the additional wastewater and solid
waste generated by control devices (e.g., Lo-Cat[reg] scrubbers and
carbon adsorbers) installed to meet the promulgated
[[Page 40052]]
standards for existing sources. We do not expect these increased
impacts to adversely affect the ability of sources to comply with the
promulgated standards.
E. Energy Impacts
We have determined that the overall energy demand (electricity plus
steam) for existing sources in the Miscellaneous Viscose Processes
source category and Cellulose Ethers Production source category will
increase by approximately 300 million megajoules per year (284 billion
British thermal units per year) under the promulgated standards. We
determined this net increase based on the additional energy demand for
control devices (e.g., scrubbers, carbon adsorbers, condensers, and oil
absorbers) installed or upgraded to meet the promulgated standards for
existing sources. We do not expect this increased energy demand to
adversely affect the ability of sources to comply with the promulgated
standards.
V. Administrative Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), EPA
must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant'' and,
therefore, subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Executive Order
defines ``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to
result in a rule 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 entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligation of recipients
thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
Pursuant to the terms of Executive Order 12866, it has been
determined that this rule is not a ``significant regulatory action''
because none of the listed criteria apply to this action. Consequently,
this action was not submitted to OMB for review under Executive Order
12866.
B. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (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'' are 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.'' Under
Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue a regulation that has
federalism implications, that imposes substantial direct compliance
costs, and that is not required by statute, unless the Federal
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance
costs incurred by State and local governments, or EPA consults with
State and local officials early in the process of developing the
regulation. The EPA also may not issue a regulation that has federalism
implications and that preempts State law unless EPA consults with State
and local officials early in the process of developing the regulation.
If EPA complies by consulting, Executive Order 13132 requires EPA
to provide to OMB, in a separately identified section of the preamble
to the rule, a federalism summary impact statement (FSIS). The FSIS
must include a description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation
with State and local officials, a summary of the nature of their
concerns and EPA's position supporting the need to issue the
regulation, and a statement of the extent to which the concerns of
State and local officials have been met. Also, when EPA transmits a
draft final rule with federalism implications to OMB for review
pursuant to Executive Order 12866, it must include a certification from
EPA's Federalism Official stating that EPA has met the requirements of
Executive Order 13132 in a meaningful and timely manner.
The final rule 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,
as specified in Executive Order 13132. Thus, the requirements of
section 6 of the Executive Order do not apply to the rule.
C. Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 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 final rule does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to
the rule.
D. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and 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, EPA must evaluate the environmental health or safety
effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the planned
rule is preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably
feasible alternatives that EPA considered.
The EPA interprets 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 rule. Today's rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it is based solely on technology
performance. No children's risk analysis was performed because no
alternative technologies exist that would provide greater stringency at
a reasonable cost. Furthermore, the rule has been determined not to be
``economically significant'' as defined under Executive Order 12866.
E. Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
Today's final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.
F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for
[[Page 40053]]
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, 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 by
State, local, and tribal governments, in aggregate, or by 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 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
EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least costly, most cost-
effective, or least burdensome alternative if the Administrator
publishes with this final rule an explanation why that alternative was
not adopted. Before 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 to have meaningful and timely input in the
development of EPA's 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 today's final rule does not contain a
Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more
for State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the
private sector in any 1 year. The capital cost of the rule has been
determined to be approximately 31.4 million. The maximum total annual
cost of the final rule for any year has been determined to be
approximately $9.7 million. Thus, today's final rule is not subject to
the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. In addition, EPA
has determined that the final rule contains no regulatory requirements
that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments because
it contains no requirements that apply to such governments or impose
obligations upon them. Therefore, today's final rule is not subject to
the requirements of section 203 of the UMRA.
G. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as Amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.
The RFA generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small
governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's final rule on
small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small business that
has fewer than 1,000 employees for NAICS codes 325221, 325188, and
325199; fewer than 750 employees for NAICS code 325211; or fewer than
500 employees for NAICS codes 326121 and 326199; (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 impacts of today's final rule on
small entities, it has been determined that this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
We have determined that only one firm meets one of the definitions of
small entity--a small business that has fewer than 500 employees for
NAICS code 326199. This firm owns only 1 of the 13 operations subject
to today's final rule. There are several firms subject to today's final
rule whose costs will be a greater percentage of sales than this small
business. Furthermore, the market impacts on this firm are minimal and
are in line with impacts experienced by other firms subject to today's
final rule.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act
The information collection requirements in the final rule will be
submitted for approval to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq. The EPA has prepared an Information Collection
Request (ICR) document (ICR No. 1974.02), and you may obtain a copy
from Sandy Farmer by mail at the Office of Environmental Information,
Collection Strategies Division (2822), U.S. EPA, 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460; by electronic mail at
[email protected]; or by calling (202) 260-2740. You may also
download a copy off the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/icr. The
information requirements are not effective until OMB approves them.
The information requirements are based on notification,
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in 40 CFR part 63, subpart A
(NESHAP General Provisions), which are mandatory for all operators
subject to national emission standards. These recordkeeping and
reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of
the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7414). All information submitted to EPA pursuant to
the recordkeeping and reporting requirements for which a claim of
confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to EPA's policies set
forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
Today's final rule would require maintenance inspections of the
control devices but would not require any notifications or reports
beyond those required by 40 CFR part 63, subpart A (NESHAP General
Provisions). The recordkeeping requirements require only the specific
information needed to determine compliance.
The annual recordkeeping and reporting burden for this collection
(averaged over the first 3 years after the effective date of the rule)
has been determined to be approximately 1,400 labor hours per year, at
a total annual cost of approximately $67,900. This burden estimate
includes one-time notifications of applicability and performance test,
reading instructions, training personnel, and developing a record
system, SSM plan, and site-specific monitoring plan. The total
annualized capital cost for monitoring equipment and for file cabinets
used for storing collected data and reports averages approximately
$56,600 over the 3-year period of the ICR. The total annual O&M cost
for file storage, photocopying, and postage for notifications and
reports averages approximately $200 over the 3-year period of the ICR.
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: (1) Review instructions; (2) develop, acquire, install, and
utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting,
validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining
information, and disclosing and providing information; (3) adjust the
existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and
[[Page 40054]]
requirements; (4) train personnel to be able to respond to a collection
of information; (5) search data sources; (6) complete and review the
collection of information; and (7) 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
As noted in the proposed rule, section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law
104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note), directs EPA to use
voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities, unless to
do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards
(e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and
business practices) developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through
OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and
applicable voluntary consensus standards.
Today's final rule involves the following technical standards: EPA
Methods 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, 2G, 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 15, 18, 21, 22, 25,
and 25A (40 CFR part 60, appendix A); Performance Specification 7 (PS-
7), PS-8, PS-9, and PS-15 (40 CFR part 60, appendix B); and the
applicable wastewater test methods and procedures in 40 CFR 63.144 and
63.145. Consistent with the NTTAA, EPA conducted searches to identify
voluntary consensus standards in addition to these EPA methods and
performance specifications. The search and review results were
documented and placed in the docket for today's final rule (Docket No.
A-99-39).
No applicable voluntary consensus standards were identified as
alternatives to EPA Methods 1A, 2A, 2D, 2F, 2G, 22, PS-7, PS-8, PS-9,
and PS-15 for the purposes of the rule. However, three voluntary
consensus standards were identified as acceptable alternatives to EPA
Methods 3B, 18, and 624 for the purposes of the rule. The three
standards are ASME Performance Test Code (PTC) 19.10-1981--Part 10
(Flue and Exhaust Gas Analysis), ASTM D6420-99 (Standard Test Method
for Determination of Gaseous Organic Compounds by Direct Interface Gas
Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)), and ASTM D5790-95 (Standard
Test Method for Measurement of Purgeable Organic Compounds in Water by
Capillary Column Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry).
The voluntary consensus standard ASME PTC 19.10-1981--Part 10 is
cited in today's final rule for its manual method for measuring the
oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide content of exhaust gas.
This part of ASME PTC 19.10-1981--Part 10 is an acceptable alternative
to EPA Method 3B.
The voluntary consensus standard ASTM D6420-99 is appropriate in
certain cases as an alternative to EPA Method 18 for the measurement of
toluene and total organic HAP. Similar to EPA Method 18, ASTM D6420-99
is also a performance-based method for measuring gaseous organic
compounds. However, ASTM D6420-99 was written to support the specific
use of highly portable and automated GC/MS. While offering advantages
over the traditional EPA Method 18, the ASTM method does allow some
less stringent criteria for accepting GC/MS results than required by
EPA Method 18. Therefore, ASTM D6420-99 is a suitable alternative to
EPA Method 18 only where: (1) The target compound(s) are those listed
in Section 1.1 of ASTM D6420-99, and (2) the target concentration is
between 150 parts per billion by volume and 100 parts per million by
volume. For target compound(s) not listed in Section 1.1 of ASTM D6420-
99, but potentially detected by mass spectrometry, today's final rule
specifies that the additional system continuing calibration check after
each run, as detailed in Section 10.5.3 of the ASTM method, must be
followed, met, documented, and submitted with the data report even if
there is no moisture condenser used or the compound is not considered
water soluble. For target compound(s) not listed in Section 1.1 of ASTM
D6420-99 and not amenable to detection by mass spectrometry, ASTM
D6420-99 does not apply. As a result, EPA will cite ASTM D6420-99 in
today's final rule. The EPA will also cite EPA Method 18 as a gas
chromatography (GC) option in addition to ASTM D6420-99, which will
allow the continued use of GC configurations other than GC/MS.
The voluntary consensus standard ASTM D5790-95 is a ``purge and
trap'' method that is acceptable as an alternative analytical procedure
for the wastewater test methods and procedures in 40 CFR 63.144 and
63.145 for the analysis of total organic HAP in wastewater samples. As
a result, EPA will cite ASTM D5790-95 in today's final rule. However,
this ASTM method should be used with the sampling procedures of EPA
Method 25D or an equivalent method in order to be a complete
alternative for the purposes of this rule, as per 40 CFR 63.144. The
standard ASTM D5790-95 is similar to EPA Method 624, which is also a
``purge and trap'' procedure. The standard ASTM D5790-95 is validated
for all of the 21 volatile organic HAP targeted by EPA Method 624, but
it is also validated for an additional 14 HAP not targeted by the EPA
method.
In addition to the three voluntary consensus standards EPA uses in
the rule, the search for emissions measurement procedures identified 14
other voluntary consensus standards as potential alternatives to EPA
Methods 1, 2, 2C, 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 15, 18, 21, 25, and 25A. The EPA
determined that 12 of the 14 standards identified for measuring
emissions of the HAP or surrogates subject to emission limits in
today's final rule were impractical alternatives to EPA test methods
for the purposes of the rule. Two of the 14 standards identified in the
search were not available at the time the review was conducted because
they are under development by a voluntary consensus body. For these
reasons, EPA does not intend to adopt these 14 standards for today's
final rule.
Sections 63.5535 and 63.5545 and Table 4 to Subpart UUUU of 40 CFR
part 63 list the EPA test methods and performance specifications
included in today's final rule. Under 40 CFR 63.7(f) and 63.8(f) of the
NESHAP General Provisions, an affected source may apply to EPA for
permission to use alternative test methods or alternative monitoring
requirements in place of any of the EPA test methods, performance
specifications, or procedures.

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 General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal
[[Page 40055]]
Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is
published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This rule is effective June 11, 2002.

What This Subpart Covers
Sec. 63.5480 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes emission limits, operating limits, and
work practice standards for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted from
cellulose products manufacturing operations. Carbon disulfide, carbonyl
sulfide, ethylene oxide, methanol, methyl chloride, propylene oxide,
and toluene are the HAP emitted in the greatest quantities from
cellulose products manufacturing operations. This subpart also
establishes requirements to demonstrate initial and continuous
compliance with the emission limits, operating limits, and work
practice standards.
Sec. 63.5485 Am I subject to this subpart?
You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a cellulose
products manufacturing operation that is located at a major source of
HAP emissions.
(a) Cellulose products manufacturing includes both the
Miscellaneous Viscose Processes source category and the Cellulose
Ethers Production source category. The Miscellaneous Viscose Processes
source category includes all of the operations that use the viscose
process. These operations include the cellulose food casing, rayon,
cellulosic sponge, and cellophane operations, as defined in
Sec. 63.5610. The Cellulose Ethers Production source category includes
all of the cellulose ether operations, as defined in Sec. 63.5610, that
use the cellulose ether process.
(b) A major source of HAP is any stationary source or group of
stationary sources located within a contiguous area and under common
control that emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a
rate of 9.1 megagrams per year (Mg/yr) (10 tons per year (tpy)) or more
or any combination of HAP at a rate of 23 Mg/yr (25 tpy) or more.
(c) The provisions of this subpart do not apply to research and
development facilities, as defined in section 112(b)(7) of the Clean
Air Act (CAA), regardless of whether the facilities are located at the
same plant site as an operation subject to the provisions of this
subpart.
(d) For cellulose ether operations, the applicability provisions in
paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section apply.
(1) The applicability provisions in Secs. 63.100(a) through (f) and
63.160 apply if you are complying with the equipment leak provisions of
subpart H of this part.
(2) The applicability provisions in Sec. 63.1019 apply if you are
complying with the equipment leak provisions in subpart UU of this
part.
(e) For cellulose ether operations, the applicability provisions in
Secs. 63.100(a) through (f) and 63.110(a), (e) and (h) apply if you are
complying with the wastewater provisions in subparts F and G of this
part.
Sec. 63.5490 What parts of my plant does this subpart cover?
(a) This subpart applies to each new, reconstructed, or existing
affected source for the Miscellaneous Viscose Processes and Cellulose
Ethers Production source categories.
(b) The affected source for the Miscellaneous Viscose Processes
source category is each cellulose food casing, rayon, cellulosic
sponge, or cellophane operation, as defined in Sec. 63.5610. The
affected source for the Cellulose Ethers Production source category is
each
[[Page 40056]]
cellulose ether operation, as defined in Sec. 63.5610.
(c) You must consider storage vessels to be part of your process
unit, as defined in Sec. 63.5610, under either of the conditions
described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section. Otherwise, you
may assign your storage vessels according to paragraph (c)(3) or (4) of
this section.
(1) The input to the storage vessel from your viscose process or
cellulose ether process (either directly or through other storage
vessels assigned to your process unit) is greater than or equal to the
input from any other process.
(2) The output from the storage vessel to your viscose process or
cellulose ether process (either directly or through other storage
vessels assigned to your process unit) is greater than or equal to the
output to any other process.
(3) If the greatest input to and/or output from a shared storage
vessel is the same for two or more processes, including at least one
viscose process or cellulose ether process, you may assign the storage
vessel to any process unit that has the greatest input or output.
(4) If the use varies from year to year, then you must base the
determination on the utilization that occurred during the year
preceding June 11, 2002 or, if the storage vessel was not operating
during that year, you must base the use on the expected use for the
first 5-year period after startup. You must include this determination
in the Notification of Compliance Status Report specified in Table 7 to
this subpart.
(d) An affected source is a new affected source if you began
construction of the affected source after August 28, 2000 and you meet
the applicability criteria in Sec. 63.5485 at the time you began
construction.
(e) An affected source is reconstructed if you meet the criteria as
defined in Sec. 63.2.
(f) An affected source is existing if it is not new or
reconstructed.
(g) For the purposes of this subpart, the definitions of new and
existing affected source in paragraphs (d) through (f) of this section
supersede the definitions of new and existing affected source in
subparts F, G, H, U and UU of this part.

subpart and either you have made no deliberate process changes since
the test, or you can demonstrate that the results of the performance
test with or without adjustments, reliably demonstrate compliance
despite process changes.
(g) For purposes of meeting any of the emission limits in Table 1
to this subpart, you may use either a single control technique or any
combination of control techniques, as defined in Sec. 63.5610.
(h) You must be in compliance with the provisions of subpart A of
this part, except as noted in Table 10 to this subpart.
Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 63.5530 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the emission
limits and work practice standards?
(a) You must demonstrate initial compliance with each emission

Subpart UUUU that applies to you.
(b) You must conduct each performance test for continuous process
vents and combinations of batch and continuous process vents according
to the requirements in Sec. 63.7(e)(1) and under the specific
conditions in Table 4 to this Subpart UUUU. Normal operating conditions
will be defined by the affected source. You must conduct each
performance test for batch process vents under the specific conditions
in Table 4 to this subpart and not under normal operating conditions as
specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(1).
(c) You may not conduct performance tests during periods of
startup, shutdown, or malfunction, as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(1).
(d) You must conduct three separate test runs for each performance
test required in this section, as specified in Sec. 63.7(e)(3). Each
test run must last at least 1 hour.
(e) You must use the equations in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of
this section to determine the control efficiency for each performance
test.
(1) The total organic HAP emission rate is the sum of the emission
rates of the individual HAP components. You must calculate the total
organic HAP emission rate at the inlet and outlet of each control
device for each test run using Equation 1 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR11JN02.004
Where:
ERHAPt = total emission rate of organic HAP in vent stream,
kilograms per hour (kg/hr) (pounds per hour (lb/hr)).
ERHAPj = emission rate of individual organic HAP in vent
stream, kg/hr (lb/hr).
j = individual HAP.
m = number of individual HAP sampled in each test run.
(2) The total sulfide emission rate is the sum of the emission
rates of the individual sulfide components, expressed as carbon
disulfide. You must calculate the total sulfide emission rate at the
inlet and outlet of each control device for each test run using
Equation 2 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR11JN02.005
Where:
ERsulft = total emission rate of sulfide in vent stream, kg/
hr (lb/hr), as carbon disulfide.
ERCS2 = emission rate of carbon disulfide in vent stream,
kg/hr (lb/hr).
ERH2S = emission rate of hydrogen sulfide in vent
stream, kg/hr (lb/hr).
MCS2 = mass of carbon disulfide per mole of carbon
disulfide, 76 kilograms per kilogram-mole (kg/kg-mol) (76 pounds per
pound-mole (lb/lb-mol)).
MH2S = mass of hydrogen sulfide per mole of
carbon disulfide, 68 kg/kg-mol (68 lb/lb-mol).
ERCOS = emission rate of carbonyl sulfide in vent stream,
kg/hr (lb/hr).
MCOS = mass of carbonyl sulfide per mole of carbon
disulfide, 120 kg/kg-mol (120 lb/lb-mol).
[[Page 40058]]
(3) You must calculate the control efficiency for each control
device for each test run using Equation 3 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR11JN02.006
Where:
CE = control efficiency, percent.
ERi = total emission rate of organic HAP (ERHAPt)
or sulfide (ERsulft) in the inlet vent stream of the control
