AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of final decision on reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: On January 30, 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
finalized amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous 
Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines 
and the Standards of Performance for Stationary Internal Combustion 
Engines. Subsequently, the EPA received three petitions for 
reconsideration of the final rule. On September 5, 2013, the EPA 
announced reconsideration of and requested public comment on three 
issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration. A summary of the 
public comments received on the September 5, 2013, notice of 
reconsideration and the EPA's responses to those comments (Response to 
Comment document) can be found in the rulemaking docket at Docket 
Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708. After careful consideration of the public 
comments received on the September 5, 2013, notice, the EPA has 
determined that it will not propose any changes to the regulations at 
this time related to the three petition issues, and is providing notice 
of this decision. The EPA is informing the petitioners of the decision 
in separate letters to the petitioners. The letters explain the EPA's 
reasons for not proposing changes to the regulations for those three 
issues. Further discussion of the three petition issues can be found in 
the Response to Comment document.

DATES: Effective August 15, 2014.
    Any petitions for review of the letters announcing the EPA's 
decision not to propose changes to the regulations in response to the 
public comments received on the three issues under reconsideration 
described in this Notice must be filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for 
the District of Columbia Circuit by October 14, 2014.
