U. S, Steel Concerns Regarding EPA's June 28, 2022 Coke Ovens Section 114 Information Collection Requests (ICRs)


Dear Mr. French and Dr. Jones:

Please see attached U. S. Steel's comments and concerns with the ICRs from EPA related to the Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (PQBS) 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart CCCCC Risk and Technology Review (RTR) and the technology review for Coke Batteries under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart L that includes testing, interior and fenceline monitoring, and other information collection activities related to potential new regulations for coke byproduct recovery plants (CBRP).  

U. S. Steel, in coordination with the COETF, engaged Trinity Consultants (Trinity) to assist us in assessing concerns with the ICRs.  Trinity has identified a number of safety, technical and schedule concerns with the proposed ICR testing requirements and other information collection activities.  U. S. Steel and the COETF requests that EPA make a number of changes to the ICRs as detailed in the attachment.

Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Chris
