[EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0174; FRL-9919-60-OAR]
RIN 2060-AP63


Electronic Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for New 
Source Performance Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
revise the part 60 General Provisions and various new source 
performance standards (NSPS) subparts in our regulations to require 
affected facilities to submit specified air emissions data reports to 
the EPA electronically and to allow affected facilities to maintain 
electronic records of these reports.
    The EPA believes that the electronic submittal of the reports 
addressed in this proposed rulemaking will increase the usefulness of 
the data contained in those reports, is in keeping with current trends 
in data availability, will further assist in the protection of public 
health and the environment and will ultimately result in less burden on 
the regulated community. Electronic submittal of the reports addressed 
in this proposed rulemaking will facilitate more accurate and timely 
development of numerous efforts, including regulation development, 
emissions factors, emissions inventories, trends analysis, regional and 
local scale air quality modeling, regulatory impact assessments and 
human exposure modeling.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before May 19, 2015. 
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, comments on the information 
collection provisions must be received by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) on or before May 19, 2015.
    Public Hearing. If anyone contacts the EPA requesting a public 
hearing by March 25, 2015, the EPA will hold a public hearing on April 
6, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. [Eastern Standard Time] to 5:00 p.m. [Eastern 
Standard Time] at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency building 
located at 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Park, NC 27711. If the 
EPA holds a public hearing, the EPA will keep the record of the hearing 
open for 30 days after completion of the hearing to provide an 
opportunity for submission of rebuttal and supplementary information.

online at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov 
or email. (See section I.C. below for instructions on submitting 
information claimed as CBI.) The www.regulations.gov Web site is an 
``anonymous access'' system, which means the EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you submit an electronic comment through 
www.regulations.gov, the EPA recommends that you include your name and 
other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk 
or CD-ROM you submit. If the EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, the 
EPA may not be able to consider your comment. If you send an email 
comment directly to the EPA without going through www.regulations.gov, 
your email address will be automatically captured and included as part 
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available 
on the Internet. Electronic files should avoid the use of special 
characters or any form of encryption and be free of any defects or 
viruses. For additional information about the EPA's public docket, 
visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at: www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    Docket. The EPA has established a docket for this rulemaking under 
Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0174. All documents in the docket are 
listed in the www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, 
some information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other 
material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet 
and will be publicly available only in hard copy. Publicly available 
docket materials are available either electronically in regulations.gov 
or in hard copy at the EPA Docket Center, EPA WJC West Building, Room 
3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The Public Reading 
Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 
excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading 
Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the EPA Docket 
Center is (202) 566-1742.
    Public Hearing. If requested by March 25, 2015, we will hold a 
public hearing on April 6, 2015, from 1:00 p.m. [Eastern Standard Time] 
to 5:00 p.m. [Eastern Standard Time] at the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency building located at 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, 
Research Park, NC 27711. Please contact Ms. Pamela Garrett of the 
Sector Policies and Programs Division via email at 
garrett.pamela@epa.gov or phone at (919) 541-7966 to request a hearing, 
register to speak at the hearing or to inquire as to whether or not a 
hearing will be held. The last day to pre-register in advance to speak 
at the hearing will be April 1, 2015. Additionally, requests to speak 
will be taken the day of the hearing at the hearing registration desk, 
although preferences on speaking times may not be able to be fulfilled. 
If you require the service of a translator or special accommodations 
such as audio description, we ask that you pre-register

[[Page 15101]]

for the hearing, as we may not be able to arrange such accommodations 
without advance notice. The hearing will provide interested parties the 
opportunity to present data, views or arguments concerning the proposed 
rule. The EPA will make every effort to accommodate all speakers who 
arrive and register. Because this hearing is held at a U.S. government 
facility, individuals planning to attend the hearing should be prepared 
to show valid picture identification to the security staff in order to 
gain access to the meeting room. Please note that the REAL ID Act, 
passed by Congress in 2005, established new requirements for entering 
federal facilities. If your driver's license is issued by Alaska, 
American Samoa, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, 
Minnesota, Montana, New York, Oklahoma or the state of Washington, you 
must present an additional form of identification to enter the federal 
building. Acceptable alternative forms of identification include: 
Federal employee badges, passports, enhanced driver's licenses and 
military identification cards. In addition, you will need to obtain a 
property pass for any personal belongings you bring with you. Upon 
leaving the building, you will be required to return this property pass 
to the security desk. No large signs will be allowed in the building, 
cameras may only be used outside of the building and demonstrations 
will not be allowed on federal property for security reasons. The EPA 
may ask clarifying questions during the oral presentations, but will 
not respond to the presentations at that time. Written statements and 
supporting information submitted during the comment period will be 
considered with the same weight as oral comments and supporting 
information presented at the public hearing. Verbatim transcripts of 
the hearing and written statements will be included in the docket for 
the rulemaking. The EPA will make every effort to follow the schedule 
as closely as possible on the day of the hearing; however, please plan 
for the hearing to run either ahead of schedule or behind schedule. 
Again, a hearing will not be held on this rulemaking unless requested. 
A hearing needs to be requested by March 25, 2015.

CD-ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM 
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comments that includes information claimed as 
CBI, you must submit a copy of the comments that does not contain the 
information claimed as CBI for inclusion in the public docket. If you 
submit a CD-ROM or disk that does not contain CBI, clearly mark the 
outside of the disk or CD-ROM as not containing CBI. Information not 
marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and the EPA's 
electronic public docket without prior notice. Information marked as 
CBI will not be disclosed except in accordance with the procedures set 
forth in 40 CFR part 2. Send or deliver information identified as CBI 
only to the following address: OAQPS Document Control Officer (C404-
02), OAQPS, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle 
Park, North Carolina 27711, Attention Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-
0174.

II. Proposed Action

A. What are the current part 60 reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements?

    Section 111(b) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs the EPA to 
develop technology based standards which apply to specific categories 
of stationary sources. Additionally, section 129 of the CAA requires 
that the EPA establish performance standards for solid waste combustors 
under the CAA section 111 requirements. The CAA section 111 standards, 
or NSPS, apply to new, modified and reconstructed facilities in 
specific source categories, and they are codified in 40 CFR part 60. 
The NSPS typically include source category specific emissions standards 
and monitoring, reporting, recordkeeping and testing requirements. In 
addition, the General Provisions of 40 CFR part 60 (subpart A) include 
regulatory requirements that automatically apply to all NSPS unless a 
particular subpart contains specific requirements that replace or 
augment the General Provisions requirements. Under current part 60 
requirements, most facilities must routinely keep records and submit 
air emissions data reports such as summary reports, excess emission 
reports, performance test reports and performance evaluation reports in 
paper format to the EPA and delegated state, local and tribal air 
agencies (air agencies).

B. What revisions are we proposing with this action?

    This proposal would require you (the owner or operator or 
responsible official [as defined in 40 CFR 63.2]) to submit specified 
reports required under 40 CFR part 60 electronically to the EPA's 
Central Data Exchange (CDX) (http://www.epa.gov/cdx/), the point of 
entry for electronic environmental data submissions to the EPA, rather 
than submitting them in paper format. This proposed rule would not 
require you to submit any information that is not already required to 
be submitted under the current NSPS that are proposed to be revised by 
this rule nor would this rule change the way in which you submit these 
reports to your relevant air agency.
    While the NSPS require several different types of reports, this 
proposed rule focuses on the submission of electronic reports to the 
EPA that provide direct measures of air emissions data such as summary 
reports, excess emission reports, performance test reports and 
performance evaluation reports. Later in this section, we provide 
further explanation of reports we are not proposing to include in this 
rule, although we may require electronic submittal of these reports at 
a later time. Again, we are not adding new reporting requirements; 
these reports are already required to be submitted in current 40 CFR 
part 60 regulations. The part 60 General Provisions specify the timing 
for submittal and content of the reports. The General Provisions' 
reporting and recordkeeping requirements apply to all NSPS without 
change unless a particular NSPS supplements or revises some or all of 
them to address source category specific needs.
    Following is a brief summary of the basic air emissions data 
reports codified in the 40 CFR part 60 General Provisions that we have 
included in this proposed rule:
     Summary reports and/or excess emissions and monitoring 
systems performance reports (excess emission reports) are required by 
40 CFR 60.7(c) of the General Provisions when an owner or operator is 
required to install a continuous monitoring system (CMS). The summary 
report form may be submitted in lieu of the excess emission report when 
the downtime and excess emissions durations are sufficiently low, 
meeting thresholds defined in 40 CFR 60.7(d). Section 60.7(d) of the 
General Provisions specifies the content required in a summary report, 
which consists of basic excess emissions data (excess emissions 
duration and causes) and CMS performance data (CMS downtime duration 
and causes) in summary form.
     Excess emission reports are required by 40 CFR 60.7(c) of 
the General Provisions if an owner or operator is required to install a 
CMS and (1) the total duration of excess emissions for the reporting 
period is 1 percent or greater of the total operating time for the 
reporting period, or (2) the total CMS downtime for the reporting 
period is 5 percent or greater of the total operating time for the 
reporting period. Section 60.7(c) specifies the content required, which 
consists of detailed excess emissions data (magnitude of excess 
emissions; identification of periods of excess emissions that occur 
during startups, shutdowns and malfunctions; cause of any malfunction; 
and the corrective action taken or preventive measures adopted) and CMS 
performance data (date and time identifying each period when the CMS 
was inoperative except for zero and span checks and the nature of the 
system repairs or adjustments).
     Performance test reports required by 40 CFR 60.8(a) of the 
General Provisions must be submitted after an owner or operator 
conducts a required performance test to demonstrate compliance with the 
emissions standard(s) and/or to establish control device operating 
parameters.
     Performance evaluation reports (also referred to as 
relative accuracy test audit [RATA] reports) required by 40 CFR 
60.13(c) of the General Provisions must be submitted after an owner or 
operator conducts a required performance evaluation of a CMS to 
demonstrate the accuracy of the CMS.
    Many NSPS require the submission of specific air emissions data 
reports that are similar to the summary reports and excess emission 
reports required under the 40 CFR part 60 General Provisions. Although 
similar in purpose and required content, they are called by different 
names (e.g., annual reports, semi-annual reports). The EPA reviewed 
each NSPS to ensure that we require these reports be submitted to the 
EPA electronically, since they provide essentially the same information 
as required by summary reports and excess emission reports.
    The majority of NSPS are potentially affected by this proposed 
rulemaking either because the specified General Provisions requirements 
apply or because they are being individually

[[Page 15103]]

amended by this proposed rulemaking. There are, however, some NSPS that 
are being excluded from this proposed rulemaking. For example, NSPS 
that do not require the submission of any of the air emissions data 
reports that are subject to the proposed electronic reporting are 
excluded from this proposed rulemaking. In addition, a few NSPS are 
being addressed under separate rulemakings that would require 
electronic reporting. See Table 1 (in section VI of this preamble) for 
subparts that are not being addressed in this proposed rulemaking.
    In addition to the NSPS, 40 CFR part 60 includes several subparts 
that contain requirements for state emission guidelines. In addition to 
requiring the EPA to establish NSPS for new units, section 129 of the 
CAA also requires the agency to establish emission guidelines for 
existing units. Additionally, section 111(d) of the CAA requires the 
agency to establish emission guidelines for existing units for any 
pollutant for which air quality criteria have not been issued or which 
is not included on a list published under section 7408(a) of Title 42 
of the U.S. Code or emitted from a source category which is regulated 
under CAA section 112, but to which a standard of performance would 
apply if such existing source were a new source.
    Unlike NSPS, which are federal regulations that apply directly to 
new, modified or reconstructed sources, emission guidelines do not 
directly regulate sources. Instead, emission guidelines establish 
requirements for state plans, which are the vehicle by which states 
implement the emission guidelines.\1\ Because air agencies have already 
submitted implementation plans for the majority of the emission 
guidelines, and it would be overly burdensome to require air agencies 
to revise and resubmit implementation plans solely to address 
electronic reporting, we are not proposing to revise the emission 
guidelines to require electronic reporting to the EPA at this time. In 
the future, when an emission guideline is opened for other revisions or 
a new emission guideline is proposed, we will address electronic 
reporting in those rulemakings.\2\ Even though we are not updating the 
emission guidelines at this time, if an air agency has an approved plan 
that already incorporates electronic reporting and recordkeeping, it 
may be possible for the air agency to start implementing the 
requirements proposed in the NSPS for the emission guidelines, if the 
air agency wishes to do so. Air agencies may also choose to revise 
state plans to incorporate the electronic reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements proposed in the NSPS and submit the plans to the EPA for 
approval.

Plans that implement the emission guidelines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Table 2 (in section VI of this preamble) presents the subparts in 
40 CFR part 60 that are affected by this proposed rulemaking. We note 
that not all affected NSPS are specifically amended in this proposed 
rulemaking. The NSPS that rely solely on the 40 CFR part 60 General 
Provisions are not being specifically amended, but are affected by this 
proposed rulemaking due to the amendments to the General Provisions. 
Table 1 presents the subparts in 40 CFR part 60 that are not affected 
by this proposed rulemaking and the reasons why they are unaffected. 
The support document in the docket to this proposed rule details the 
rationale for each of the proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 60.\3\

Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for New Source Performance 
Standards. December 11, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In reviewing each NSPS, we purposefully excluded air emissions data 
that we did not prioritize for reporting to the EPA electronically at 
this time. While information such as leak detection and repair program 
reports and individual parametric system performance monitoring data 
(e.g., temperature, pressure and flow rate) reports are useful air 
emissions data, we chose to focus on reports of air emissions data used 
by the EPA and other stakeholders to evaluate the emissions and 
performance of affected facilities for which we could develop the 
platform to provide user access to upload and review the reports by the 
time this proposed rule is finalized. In the future, we may propose to 
expand the number and type of air emissions reports that we collect 
electronically.
    Some of the NSPS require owners and operators of affected 
facilities to submit the results of their performance tests and 
performance evaluations with their summary and other similar semi-
annual or annual air emission reports. In instances where we are 
requiring owners and operators to submit the results of those 
performance tests and/or performance evaluations to the EPA's CDX, we 
have excluded the need to submit these results with the air emission 
reports because these reports will be readily available and searchable 
through the EPA's WebFIRE database. Instead, we have revised the 
applicable air emission report requirements to require identifying 
information (i.e., the process unit and pollutant tested) and the date 
of the applicable performance test and/or performance evaluation. This 
change streamlines reporting by eliminating redundant submittals of 
performance test and performance evaluation results. We want to note 
that all of the information that is currently required to be submitted 
in these reports will still be submitted.
    Some of the proposed amendments include changes necessary to make 
the existing NSPS requirements consistent with the proposed electronic 
reporting requirements. For example, some of the NSPS that currently 
include requirements to submit electronic reports to the EPA's CDX 
would be revised to be consistent with today's proposal. Also, in order 
to streamline requirements to submit information to the EPA, NSPS 
addressed by today's proposed rulemaking that currently require the 
submittal of reports to the EPA Regional Offices would be revised so 
that electronic submittal to the EPA's CDX would suffice. In addition, 
the General Provisions currently provide for exceptions to certain 
federal or state reporting requirements in delegation agreements 
between the EPA and air agencies. We are proposing that information 
required to be reported to the EPA electronically cannot be exempted in 
delegation agreements. We do not believe that this proposed change will 
require submission to the EPA of information beyond what is currently 
specified by 40 CFR 60.4(b) to be submitted to the EPA. However, we are 
soliciting comment on whether this assumption is correct, and, if not, 
how we should factor that into this rulemaking. Finally, in addition to 
proposing to revise reporting requirements, we are proposing to amend 
some of the 40 CFR part 60 rules to allow affected facilities to 
maintain the reports that have been submitted electronically to the EPA 
in electronic form rather than in hardcopy form. However, any records 
and reports that are not submitted electronically must continue to be 
retained in hardcopy form, unless the specific NSPS already allows 
electronic recordkeeping.
    We are not proposing any changes to how facilities interact with 
their air agencies. Air agencies will continue to receive reports in 
the format that they currently require unless they specify otherwise to 
facilities; however, the proposal allows air agencies to elect to opt 
in to receiving reports electronically using the EPA's system in lieu 
of continuing to receive them in the format

[[Page 15104]]

that they currently require. Even if an air agency elects not to 
receive reports through the EPA's system, the air agency may still use 
the EPA's system by accepting copies of electronically submitted 
reports either in hardcopy form or by electronic mail. Whether an air 
agency chooses to use the EPA's system or not, all air agencies will 
have access to reports as soon as they are submitted to the EPA's CDX. 
In order to access the report, the air agency reviewer must be 
registered in the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface 
(CEDRI). This is the interface on the CDX that allows facilities to 
submit required electronic reports under 40 CFR part 60 to the EPA. To 
register, the reviewer must send a request for registration to 
cedri@epa.gov. The registration request must include the name, 
government email address, phone number and street address for the 
reviewer. To facilitate air agency access, air agency personnel who 
register for access to CEDRI will receive notifications when reports 
and associated data are submitted to the EPA's CEDRI by affected 
facilities in their delegated areas.
    The proposed rule would be implemented upon the effective date of 
the final rule, which is 90 days after the date that the final rule is 
published in the Federal Register. We recognize that it may take some 
time to transition from paper reporting to electronic reporting. We 
understand that some reports may be due soon after the final rule is 
published and that you may have already compiled the majority of data 
in hardcopy form, with little time left to enter data into electronic 
reporting forms. Therefore, we are delaying the effective date of the 
rule until 90 days after it is published. We believe that 90 days is an 
adequate amount of time for this transition, as it is slightly longer 
than the 60-day reporting timeframe for most performance tests. 
Additionally, as some reports are on a quarterly schedule, a 90-day 
timeframe will allow enough time for the completion of quarterly 
reports currently in progress and start the electronic reporting 
process with the next quarterly report. Starting 90 days after the date 
that this rule is published, you would be required to submit all 
subsequent specified reports electronically to the EPA on the date that 
the specified report would next be due. These provisions would apply to 
all affected facilities, including those currently subject to the 
applicable NSPS, as well as any new, modified or reconstructed sources. 
Please note that the proposed 90-day delay in the effective date of 
this rule would not affect a facility's obligation to timely submit air 
emissions reports in hardcopy form to the delegated air agency and the 
EPA. Any such reports that are due during the 90-day period must be 
submitted timely.

C. What steps do you need to take to electronically submit reports to 
the EPA?

1. Overview of Data Flow Process
    This proposal would require you (the owner or operator or 
responsible official) to submit specified reports currently required 
under 40 CFR part 60 electronically to the EPA's CDX, the point of 
entry for submission of electronic data to the agency. The CDX provides 
access to the CEDRI. This is the interface on the CDX that allows you 
to submit your required electronic reports under 40 CFR part 60 to the 
EPA.
    The EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) creates electronic 
versions of stationary source sampling test plans and reports of test 
results that can be submitted to the EPA and air agencies. Note that 
the proposed requirement to submit performance test reports and 
performance evaluation reports electronically for the affected NSPS is 
limited to those reports involving test methods and performance 
specifications that are supported by the EPA's ERT. For performance 
tests and evaluations that involve test methods and pollutants that are 
not supported by the ERT, you must continue to submit the required 
reports in hardcopy format to your delegated air agency and the EPA 
Regional Office, as applicable. The test methods and performance 
specifications currently supported by the ERT are listed in Table 3 (in 
section VI of this preamble) and on the ERT Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_info.html). We expect this list to expand 
over time. When we add new methods and performance specifications to 
the ERT, a notice will be sent out through the Clearinghouse for 
Inventories and Emissions Factors (CHIEF) Listserv (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/listserv.html#chief) and a notice of availability will be 
added to the ERT Web site. We encourage you to check the Web site 
regularly for up-to-date information on methods and performance 
specifications supported by the ERT.
    The existing version of CEDRI can accept submissions of performance 
test reports generated by the ERT, performance evaluation reports 
generated by the ERT and a limited number of other air emissions 
reports to the EPA. Facilities can submit reports for multiple NSPS at 
the same time. This may be desirable for facilities subject to more 
than one NSPS. We plan to expand CEDRI to allow submittal of additional 
40 CFR part 60 summary reports, excess emission reports and other 
similar reports as described above. In the event CEDRI development does 
not yet support electronic submittal of reports for a particular NSPS 
or a specified report on the required submittal date, you would submit 
the report or reports as otherwise required by the EPA and the 
delegated air agency. When CEDRI is updated to support electronic 
submittal of the required report, you would have 90 days from the date 
of the reporting form's availability in CEDRI to commence electronic 
reporting to the EPA. Any reports that are required to be submitted 
prior to the date 90 days from the date the reporting form becomes 
available must be submitted timely and can be submitted either in hard 
copy or using the electronic reporting form. Notice will be sent out 
through the CHIEF Listserv and a notice of availability will be added 
to the CEDRI Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/cedri/index.html) 
when CEDRI is updated to include these reports.
    The CEDRI will also have the ability to automatically import 
available facility identification information so that the user will not 
be required to input this information on every form. In most cases, the 
facility identification information is already part of the EPA Facility 
Registration System (FRS) and will be obtained from FRS through a Web 
service using the FRS ID. The FRS is a centrally managed EPA database 
that identifies facilities, sites or places subject to environmental 
regulations or of environmental interest. Sources without an FRS number 
will be able to obtain an FRS number when signing on to CEDRI and 
sources with an FRS number that find that some of the FRS-generated 
information is incorrect will be able to correct the errors in CEDRI. 
Finally, the CEDRI reporting tools will include additional fields and 
an upload area for PDF files to allow you to add information to address 
state, local or tribal reporting requirements that may be required in 
addition to the federal requirements. You are only required to submit 
this additional information if your air agency (1) opts into accepting 
reports through the EPA's system, (2) allows facilities to submit files 
of electronically submitted reports by electronic mail or (3) allows 
facilities to submit hard copies of the files submitted electronically.
    The WebFIRE database (WebFIRE) (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/
webfire/

[[Page 15105]]

index.html) houses the information submitted to the EPA electronically 
through CEDRI and is the public access site for this information. 
WebFIRE is also the EPA's online emissions factor repository, retrieval 
and development tool. Public access to the electronic data submitted to 
the EPA through CEDRI would be available in WebFIRE within 60 days 
after the package is electronically submitted. During this processing 
period, the EPA or air agency reviewer will have access to the 
submitted report if the reviewer registers for access to CEDRI through 
CDX, and the facility preparer may submit corrections to the report to 
CEDRI based on the air agency's review. We believe that this processing 
period is necessary to ensure that the data in WebFIRE are as complete 
and accurate as possible. All users will benefit from higher quality 
data. Since the information in the submitted package must be certified 
as accurate, we do not anticipate frequent changes. If, however, 
changes are made to the submission package prior to the end of the 
processing period and the package's release to WebFIRE, the processing 
period will start over to allow air agency reviewers time to review the 
new submission package. While only the corrected package will be 
available in WebFIRE, all versions of submitted reports will remain as 
part of the official record and be available to the EPA and air agency 
reviewers through CDX.
2. CDX CEDRI User Registration and Electronic Signature
    If you are a new user, in order to electronically submit the 
reports subject to this proposed rule, you would first need to visit 
the CDX homepage (https://cdx.epa.gov/) and register in CDX. Once you 
have successfully registered in CDX, you will receive confirmation of 
successful registration, and you will be able to log in to CDX by 
navigating to the CDX home page and entering your user ID and password. 
Once in CDX, you can select CEDRI from the Active Program Service List. 
Detailed instructions for registering and accessing CDX and CEDRI are 
outlined in the CEDRI CDX User Guide available on the CEDRI Web 
site.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Central Data Exchange. 
CEDRI CDX User Guide. Version 5.0. October 4, 2013, http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/cedri/CDX%20CEDRI%20User%20Guide%20v5%200.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Once you have selected CEDRI from the Active Program Service List, 
you must then select a registration role. You may register either as a 
``preparer'' or a ``certifier.'' The preparer (e.g., a performance test 
contractor or support person at the facility) compiles the data and 
assembles the submission packages. The preparer can upload files and 
complete electronic forms. However, the preparer may not submit or sign 
packages, unless the preparer is also a registered certifier for the 
facility. As part of the registration process, preparers are required 
to identify the certifier(s) for whom they are preparing reports. The 
certifier will be able to assemble submission packages (and, therefore, 
may also be the preparer) and will be able to modify submission 
packages that a preparer has assembled. The key difference between the 
preparer and the certifier is that the certifier can submit and sign a 
package using an electronic signature. The certifier is generally 
referred to as the ``owner or operator'' or ``responsible official'' of 
the facility as defined in the NSPS. To submit a report, there must be 
either a separate preparer and certifier or one registered certifier 
who acts as both the preparer and certifier.
    The EPA has designed this process to be compliant with the Cross-
Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR). The CROMERR (under 40 CFR 
part 3) provides the legal framework for electronic reporting under all 
of the EPA's environmental regulations and includes criteria for 
assuring that the electronic signature is legally associated with an 
electronic document for the purpose of expressing the same meaning and 
intention as would a handwritten signature if affixed to an equivalent 
paper document. In other words, the electronic signature is as equally 
enforceable as a paper signature. For more information on CROMERR, see 
the Web site: http://www.epa.gov/cromerr/.
3. Data Flow for Electronic Reports
    The electronic data flow process begins with the report preparation 
step. In the case of performance test reports and performance 
evaluation reports, the EPA's ERT would be used to generate electronic 
performance test report and performance evaluation report files which 
would then be uploaded to CEDRI. Only the results of performance tests 
and performance evaluations which use test methods and performance 
specifications supported by the ERT are required to be submitted 
electronically to the EPA. Those performance test reports or 
performance evaluation reports which use test methods and performance 
specifications not supported by the ERT must continue to be submitted 
to the Administrator and/or delegated authority as currently required 
under the affected 40 CFR part 60 rules. The current version of the ERT 
and test methods and performance specifications supported by the ERT 
are available at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/index.html. The test 
methods and performance specifications currently included in the ERT 
are listed in Table 3. We expect this list to expand over time. When we 
add new methods to the ERT, a notice will be sent out through the CHIEF 
Listserv and a notice of availability will be added to the ERT Web 
site. We encourage you to check the Web site regularly for up-to-date 
information on test methods and performance specifications supported by 
the ERT.
    Prior to promulgation of this rulemaking, we plan to release an XML 
(extensible markup language) schema of data elements contained in the 
ERT to allow the development of alternative report options for 
performance test reports and performance evaluation reports. Third 
party software must contain all of the same data elements required by 
the ERT and must be CROMERR compliant. We will not preapprove third 
party software. Third party software will be validated through CEDRI 
submittal; only software that meets the requirements of the XML schema 
located on the ERT Web site will be accepted by CEDRI. Files developed 
with software that does meet the requirements of the XML schema located 
on the ERT Web site will be rejected by CEDRI. If you choose to use 
third party software, it is your responsibility to ensure that the 
third party software is acceptable. Use of a third party software that 
does not meet the requirements of the EPA's XML schema does not relieve 
you of your responsibility to submit the report by the submittal 
deadline.
    If you choose to use a third party software, you would gather the 
necessary information required to be input for the performance test 
report or performance evaluation report and upload the file generated 
by the third party software to CEDRI. Third party software could be 
software developed by a third-party for the sole purpose of report 
submittals. It could also be a delegated air agency's electronic 
reporting system. We are aware that some air agencies have already 
developed electronic reporting systems. If the air agency's reporting 
system can be developed or amended such that it can upload all required 
data elements to the EPA's CEDRI, the delegated air agency's reporting 
system could serve as third-party software. In this case, you would 
submit your performance test or performance evaluation report to the 
delegated air agency through the delegated air agency's software, and 
the air agency's system would allow you to

[[Page 15106]]

also submit the report to the EPA's CEDRI through the air agency's 
system.
    Currently, the EPA's ERT is a Microsoft Access[supreg] application, 
and it is the only available tool to use in preparing performance test 
reports and performance evaluation reports for submittal to CEDRI. We 
are evaluating options for the development of a Web-based version of 
the ERT. We are, therefore, soliciting comment on whether we should 
develop this alternative ERT format as a reporting tool for performance 
test reports and performance evaluation reports.
    Package preparation for summary reports, excess emission reports 
and subpart-specific reports that are similar to the summary reports 
and excess emission reports required by the 40 CFR part 60 General 
Provisions begins when you gather the necessary information required to 
be input and/or uploaded into the applicable report forms. For subpart-
specific reports, we intend to build in the capability for an 
alternative electronic file to be submitted in lieu of filling in the 
CEDRI-provided subpart-specific report form. We plan to release the XML 
schema that is required for third-parties to develop alternative report 
options for air emissions reports in CEDRI prior to promulgation of 
this rulemaking. Third party software must contain all of the same data 
elements required by the report forms in CEDRI and must be CROMERR 
compliant. We are not approving third party software. Third party 
software will be validated through CEDRI submittal; only software that 
meets the requirements of the XML schema located on the CEDRI Web site 
will be accepted by CEDRI. If you choose to use third party software, 
it is your responsibility to ensure that the third party software is 
acceptable. Use of a third party software that does not meet the 
requirements of the EPA's XML schema does not relieve you of your 
responsibility to submit the report by the submittal deadline.
    Once you prepare your report package in CEDRI, the registered 
certifier reviews the report(s) and may modify the file(s) or return 
the file(s) to the preparer to make modifications. When the certifier 
determines that the files are ready for submission, the certifier will 
certify the submission with a CROMERR electronic signature and submit 
the files through CEDRI. Following submission, the certified signature 
file will be stored with each report contained in the submission 
package as the CROMERR Copy of Record (COR) in CDX. Within 60 days of 
submission to CDX,\5\ each file will be sent to the EPA's WebFIRE 
database where it will be available for public access. Ultimately, each 
submission is stored in two places. The CROMERR COR is retained in CDX. 
The same file without the CROMERR signature is available publicly 
through WebFIRE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ If changes are made to the submission package prior to the 
end of the processing period and the package's release to WebFIRE, 
the processing period will start over to allow air agency reviewers 
time to review the new submission package. While only the corrected 
package will be available in WebFIRE, all versions of submitted 
reports will remain as part of the official record and be available 
to EPA and air agency reviewers through CDX.

D. Recordkeeping

    Most of the NSPS require affected facilities to keep records, such 
as raw data and reports of emissions monitoring and testing, on site. 
Many of the NSPS require that this information be maintained in 
hardcopy form. Because those records, data and reports that would be 
required to be submitted to the EPA electronically would be stored 
safely and available to all stakeholders at all times, we propose that 
industry should be allowed to maintain electronic copies of these 
records, data and reports to satisfy federal recordkeeping 
requirements. Thus, in this rulemaking, we are proposing to eliminate 
the requirement to maintain hard copies of records, data and reports 
when these records, data and reports are submitted electronically to 
the EPA's CDX. This provision will benefit industry facilities that 
currently maintain these reports in hardcopy form; the amount of space 
required to store the reports will be minimized, but

[[Page 15108]]

the information will remain accessible at the facility. We note, 
however, that air agencies that require submission of reports in 
hardcopy form may also require the maintenance of hardcopy records, 
data and reports.
    We plan to store records, data and reports submitted to the EPA's 
CDX electronically in two sites (CDX and WebFIRE), with frequent 
backups. Upon submission of each report, CEDRI will archive a copy of 
each submitted report in CDX (this copy becomes the official copy of 
record). Both WebFIRE and CDX back up their files on a daily basis. The 
EPA's National Computer Center (where the WebFIRE files are stored) 
maintains a dual back-up file (one kept on site and the other stored 
off site). The CDX also employs a dual back-up system to avoid problems 
in the event of a catastrophe at the location of the servers storing 
the files. Thus, the EPA has established redundancy into the electronic 
reporting and storage system to ensure submitted records, data and 
reports are retained and available.
    As noted above, we believe that electronic recordkeeping is an 
adequate method of record retention that will improve record 
accessibility and will provide reduced storage benefits to facilities, 
resulting in a cost savings for industry. The EPA specifically solicits 
comment on the proposed amendment to allow electronic recordkeeping in 
lieu of hardcopy records.

III. Rationale for Requiring the Electronic Submission of Specified 
Reports

A. Why is this proposed action needed?

    The EPA believes that the electronic submittal of the reports 
addressed in this proposed rulemaking will increase the usefulness of 
the data contained in those reports, is in keeping with current trends 
in data availability, will further assist in the protection of public 
health and the environment and will ultimately result in less burden on 
the regulated community. Electronic reporting is in ever-increasing use 
and is universally considered to be faster, more efficient and more 
accurate for all parties once the initial systems have been established 
and start-up costs completed. Under current requirements, paper reports 
are often stored in filing cabinets or boxes, which make the reports 
more difficult to obtain and use for data analysis and sharing. 
Electronic storage of such reports would make data more accessible for 
review, analyses and sharing. Electronic reporting can eliminate paper-
based, manual processes, thereby saving time and resources, simplifying 
data entry, eliminating redundancies, minimizing data reporting errors 
and providing data quickly and accurately to the affected facilities, 
air agencies, the EPA and the public.
    By making data readily available, electronic reporting increases 
the amount of data that can be used for many purposes. One example is 
the development of emissions factors. An emissions factor is a 
representative value that attempts to relate the quantity of a 
pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with 
the release of that pollutant (e.g., kilograms of particulate emitted 
per megagram of coal burned). Such factors facilitate the estimation of 
emissions from various sources of air pollution and are an important 
tool in developing emissions inventories, which in turn are the basis 
for numerous efforts, including trends analysis, regional and local 
scale air quality modeling, regulatory impact assessments and human 
exposure modeling. Emissions factors are also widely used in regulatory 
applicability determinations and in permitting decisions. In most 
cases, emissions factors are simply averages of all available data, and 
they are generally assumed to be representative of long-term averages 
for all facilities in the source category (i.e., a population 
average).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ For more information on emissions factors and their uses, 
see: http://www.epa.gov/ttnchie1/ap42/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EPA has received feedback from stakeholders asserting that many 
of the EPA's emissions factors are outdated or not representative of a 
particular industry emission source. While the EPA believes that the 
emissions factors are suitable for their intended purpose, we recognize 
that the quality of emissions factors varies based on the extent and 
quality of underlying data. We also recognize that emissions profiles 
on different pieces of equipment can change over time due to a number 
of factors (fuel changes, equipment improvements, industry work 
practices), and it is important for emissions factors to be updated to 
keep up with these changes. The EPA has received feedback from 
stakeholders asserting that many of the EPA's emissions factors are 
outdated or not representative of a particular industry emission 
source. The EPA is currently pursuing emissions factor development 
improvements that include procedures to incorporate the source test 
data that we are proposing be submitted electronically. By requiring 
the electronic submission of the reports identified in this proposed 
rule, the EPA would be able to access and use the submitted data to 
update emissions factors more quickly and efficiently, creating factors 
that are characteristic of what is currently representative of the 
relevant industry sector. Likewise, an increase in the number of test 
reports used to develop the emissions factors will provide more 
confidence that the factor is of higher quality and representative of 
the whole industry sector. In the EPA's new emissions factor 
development procedures (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/efpac/procedures/index.html) that incorporate the use of electronic test data, WebFIRE 
automatically performs routines to determine when the incorporation of 
new data causes a factor to statistically differ from the existing 
factor and calculates an updated factor. Because these routines are run 
automatically,\7\ the process is quicker than the manual review and 
calculation process, and we are able to provide representative factors 
sooner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Although WebFIRE will automatically run the routines to 
develop new emissions factors, we will still solicit public comment 
on draft factors prior to finalizing factors. Notices that draft 
factors are available for review are sent out via the CHIEF 
Listserv.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Emissions factors are used in the development of emissions 
inventories. Improved emissions factors means that higher quality 
inventories will be developed on a much quicker scale as a result of 
electronic reporting than they would under the current paper reporting 
requirements. Emissions inventories are used for tracking emission 
trends and identifying potential sources of emissions for reduction. 
For example, the EPA's National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) uses the 
EPA's National Emissions Inventory (NEI) in its screening level 
assessments to characterize the nationwide chronic cancer risk 
estimates and noncancer hazards from inhaling air toxics. The NATA is 
used as a screening tool for air agencies to prioritize pollutants, 
emission sources and locations of interest for further study to gain a 
better understanding of risks. Therefore, improving the quality of 
these inventories and providing updated inventories more quickly are 
on-going goals for the agency and a benefit to the public, air agencies 
and the regulated community. Consistent with the goal of improving 
inventories, the EPA has determined that long-term activity data (e.g., 
production rates, heat rate) is an important data element. This data 
could also be used in rule development to develop emission limits for 
emission standards with long averaging times. Having this data 
submitted electronically would reduce the burden

[[Page 15109]]

of asking for this data in the future, during inventory and rulemaking 
activities. In lieu of activity data, collecting long-term emissions 
data would also provide useful data for inventory and rule development 
purposes. We are specifically requesting comment on whether and how 
long-term activity or emissions data should be submitted 
electronically.
    Additionally, by making the records, data and reports addressed in 
this proposed rulemaking readily available, the EPA, the regulated 
community and the public may benefit when the EPA conducts its CAA-
required technology and risk-based reviews. Because we will already 
have access to these reports, our ability to carry out comprehensive 
reviews will be increased and achieved within a shorter period of time. 
While the regulated community may benefit from a reduced burden of 
information collection requests (ICRs), the general public benefits 
from the agency's ability to provide these required reviews more 
quickly, resulting in increased public health and environmental 
protection.
    For example, under section 112 of the CAA, the EPA establishes 
technology-based standards for listed source categories. Section 
112(d)(6) of the CAA contains provisions requiring that the EPA 
periodically revisit these standards every 8 years. As a result of 
having performance test reports and air emission reports readily 
accessible, the EPA will have comprehensive data on which to base its 
review. These data will provide useful information on control 
efficiencies being achieved and maintained in practice within a source 
category and across source categories for regulated sources and 
pollutants. These reports can also be used to inform the technology-
review process by providing information on improvements to add-on 
control technology and new control technology.
    Under an electronic reporting system, the EPA's Office of Air 
Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) would have air emissions and 
performance test data in hand; OAQPS would not have to collect these 
data from the EPA Regional Offices or from delegated air agencies or 
industry sources in cases where these reports are not submitted to the 
EPA Regional Offices, e.g., when a delegation agreement creates an 
exception for facilities in their jurisdiction to refrain from 
submitting reports to the EPA Regional Offices as otherwise required by 
40 CFR 60.4(a). Thus, we anticipate fewer or less substantial ICRs in 
conjunction with prospective CAA-required technology and risk-based 
reviews may be needed. We expect this to result in a decrease in time 
spent by industry to respond to data collection requests. We also 
expect the ICRs to contain less extensive stack testing provisions, as 
we will already have stack test data electronically. Reduced testing 
requirements would be a cost savings to industry. The EPA should also 
be able to conduct these required reviews more quickly, as OAQPS will 
not have to include the ICR collection time in the process or spend 
time collecting reports from the EPA Regional Offices.
    Affected facilities could also see reduced costs as a result of the 
standardization of the electronic reporting system NSPS reporting 
forms. The forms will contain the data elements specified by the 
regulations in a step-by-step process. Additionally, the EPA's 
electronic reporting system will be able to access existing information 
in previously submitted reports and data stored in other EPA databases. 
These data can be incorporated into new reports, which will lead to 
reporting burden reduction through labor savings. Electronic reporting 
could minimize submission of unnecessary or duplicative reports in 
cases where facilities report to multiple government agencies and the 
agencies opt to rely on the EPA's electronic reporting system to view 
report submissions. Where air agencies continue to require a paper copy 
of these reports and will accept a hard copy of the electronic report, 
facilities will have the option to print paper copies of the electronic 
reporting forms to submit to the air agencies, and, thus, minimize the 
time spent reporting to multiple agencies. Additionally, maintenance 
and storage costs associated with retaining paper records could 
likewise be minimized by replacing those records with electronic 
records of electronically submitted data and reports.
    There are other benefits to standardizing the format of 
information. Standardizing the reporting format will require the 
reporting of specific data elements, thereby helping to ensure 
completeness of the data and allowing for accurate assessment of data 
quality. In the past, incomplete test reports have resulted in lower 
quality emissions factors because the data could not be adequately 
reviewed to determine representativeness. Imbedded quality assurance 
checks will perform some of the required method calculations, reducing 
errors in test reports. The system will perform statistical analyses 
routines to evaluate below detection limit data and outliers prior to 
performing the emissions factor calculations. The result will be a 
factor of the highest quality rating which is most representative for 
the source category. In addition, because the system relies upon 
electronically submitted data, it eliminates transcription errors in 
moving data from paper reports to data systems for analysis. These 
quality assurance checks and procedures will increase the accuracy of 
test report data, improve the overall quality of test data and lead to 
more accurate emissions factors and higher quality emissions 
inventories. These features benefit all users of the data.
    Air agencies could benefit from more streamlined and automated 
review of the electronically submitted data. For example, because the 
performance test data would be readily-available in a standard 
electronic format, air agencies would be able to review reports and 
data electronically rather than having to conduct a review of the 
reports and data manually. Having reports and associated data in 
electronic format will facilitate review through the use of software 
``search'' options, as well as the downloading and analyzing of data in 
spreadsheet format. Additionally, air agencies would benefit from the 
reported data being accessible to them through the EPA's electronic 
reporting system wherever and whenever they want or need access (as 
long as they have access to the Internet). The ability to access and 
review air emission report information electronically will assist air 
agencies to more quickly and accurately determine compliance with the 
NSPS, potentially allowing a faster response to violations which could 
minimize harmful air emissions. This benefits both air agencies and the 
general public.
    The general public would also benefit from electronic reporting of 
emissions data because the data would be accessible more quickly and 
easily. The EPA Web site that stores the submitted electronic data, 
WebFIRE, will be easily accessible to the public and will provide a 
user-friendly interface that any stakeholder could access.
    The proposed electronic reporting of data is also consistent with 
electronic data trends (e.g., electronic banking and income tax 
filing). Electronic reporting of environmental data is already common 
practice in many media offices at the EPA; programs such as the Toxics 
Release Inventory (TRI), the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, Acid 
Rain and NOX Budget Trading Programs and the Toxic 
Substances Control Act (TSCA) New Chemicals Program all require 
electronic submissions to the EPA. The changes being proposed today are 
needed to continue the EPA's transition to electronic reporting. While 
we believe that it is unlikely that a facility

[[Page 15110]]

will not be able to electronically report data due to lack of access to 
a computer and the Internet, either on its own site or through public 
means (e.g., a library), we are requesting comment on whether this 
assumption is incorrect, and, if so, whether we should have a provision 
that would allow facilities to submit reports in hard copy instead of 
electronically in these limited circumstances.

B. Why is the EPA using a phased approach to implementing electronic 
reporting?

    Today's proposal is part of a phased approach to implementing the 
electronic reporting of air emissions data. This approach builds on 
advances that have already been made in electronic reporting of air 
emissions data by adding a more comprehensive group of reports from 
more facilities while at the same time balancing data collection 
objectives with the practicalities of building a user-friendly 
reporting platform.
    The first phase included development, testing and refinement of the 
ERT, and, more recently, CEDRI, for use in selected air program rules 
and data collection efforts, resulting in the electronic submittal of a 
subset of performance test reports and performance evaluation reports. 
In a number of ICRs issued under section 114 of the CAA over the past 
few years, the EPA has included requirements to report the results of 
performance tests using ERT generated files. In addition, over two 
dozen EPA air program rules (in 40 CFR parts 60 and 63) already require 
electronic submission of performance test, performance evaluation and/
or other reports directly to CDX. See http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_rules.html for a list of the promulgated rules under the CAA that 
require submission of these reports to the EPA's CEDRI. As a result of 
using the ERT to submit test reports in response to ICRs and using the 
ERT and the CEDRI reporting platform to comply with regulatory 
requirements for electronic submission, users have become more 
proficient in electronic reporting, including collecting and compiling 
the data for such reports. In aggregate, the EPA has received over 
2,200 submittals electronically through CEDRI.
    Throughout this first phase, we continued to improve the ERT in 
response to comments from users who have first-hand experience with the 
ERT. We have made several changes to the ERT to ensure the completeness 
of data collected and improve ease in using the tool. For example, we 
have developed a template that extracts tagged data from a Microsoft 
Excel[supreg] spreadsheet and inserts the data into the ERT to assist 
in making the input of data to the ERT easier and more efficient for 
those facilities that want to take advantage of this option. A 
discussion of other recent updates that have been made to the ERT can 
be found at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/updatehistory.pdf.
    We also initiated a multi-disciplinary, cross-functional Integrated 
Project Team (IPT) during the first phase in the development of the 
CEDRI. The IPT included EPA personnel from various offices and 
representatives from air agencies. The objectives of the CEDRI IPT were 
to gain insight and ideas regarding the data flow process within the 
CEDRI.
    This proposal represents the second phase to implementing 
electronic reporting of air emissions data. It would expand the number 
and type of air emissions reports in NSPS rules required to be 
submitted electronically. In developing the second phase, we considered 
the extent to which we should expand the number of reports to be 
submitted to CDX through CEDRI, starting with the 40 CFR part 60 NSPS. 
We chose reports that are critical to ensuring that rule requirements 
are met by focusing on reports of air emissions data used by the EPA 
and other stakeholders to evaluate the emissions and performance of 
individual affected facilities. Another consideration was the process 
of developing the CEDRI platform to accommodate user access to upload 
and review such data. This effort requires resources to develop the 
platform, and we have chosen to prioritize the data to be collected to 
ensure that the platform will be effective in handling the reports 
addressed in this proposal. In the future, we would consider expanding 
the number and type of reports required to be submitted electronically 
to facilitate the electronic collection of additional air emissions 
data.

C. How does this proposed action affect permits?

    As a general matter, and consistent with 40 CFR 70.2, any standard 
or other requirement under section 111 of the CAA is an applicable 
requirement for title V purposes. Sources subject to the NSPS affected 
by this proposed rulemaking that have title V operating permits will 
likely need to seek a revision to their permits once this rule is final 
or address this when their permit comes up for renewal, consistent with 
40 CFR 70.7(f)(1)(i). In addition, there may be area sources that also 
need permit revisions (e.g., state operating permits); however, the 
discussion in this section will focus on major source title V operating 
permits.
    The title V implementing regulations found at 40 CFR parts 70 and 
71, as well as state rules that are a part of state-approved title V 
programs, require the revision of title V permits to include the types 
of changes described in this proposed rulemaking. Part 70 of 40 CFR 
provides three basic procedural mechanisms for amending or modifying 
title V permits: Administrative permit amendments described at 40 CFR 
70.7(d); minor permit modifications described at 40 CFR 70.7(e)(2); and 
significant modifications described at 40 CFR 70.7(e)(4). Each of these 
provisions provides criteria regarding the availability of the 
different mechanisms. The rule changes being proposed today generally 
involve changes to the method of submittal of information already 
required to be submitted and reported. The EPA does not expect that the 
changes being proposed today are likely to involve significant changes 
to monitoring, reporting or recordkeeping requirements in existing 
title V permits. As a result, to the extent consistent with applicable 
state rules and the terms and conditions of the title V permit, we 
anticipate that permitting authorities would be able to implement the 
changes being proposed today through a minor modification to existing 
title V permits. Notably, depending on the timing associated with the 
permit renewal cycle, these changes could be completed as part of a 
permit renewal consistent with 40 CFR 70.7(f). The EPA recognizes that 
permitting authorities may have other suitable mechanisms for making 
the necessary changes available, such as group processing of certain 
types of revisions to title V operating permits.

IV. Air Agency Delegated Authority Impacts

    The CAA allows the EPA to delegate the authority to implement and 
enforce NSPS to air agencies (CAA section 111(c), 42 U.S.C. 7411(c)). 
Air agencies to which authority to implement and enforce the NSPS has 
been delegated routinely receive performance test reports, performance 
evaluation reports, summary reports, excess emission reports and other 
reports from industry as part of their compliance monitoring, 
enforcement and oversight responsibilities. In many cases, air agencies 
have their own rules in place to implement and enforce the federal 
rules, and these rules may require industry to submit these reports to 
them in hardcopy form (as is currently the case in the EPA rules). Air 
agency rules

[[Page 15111]]

may require additional, but associated, information in these reports. 
In addition, as provided in 40 CFR 60.4(b), some air agency delegation 
agreements create an exception for facilities in their jurisdiction to 
refrain from submitting reports to the EPA Regional Offices as 
otherwise required by 40 CFR 60.4(a). Under this proposed rule, this 
exception would not apply to electronic reports required to be 
submitted to CEDRI.
    Air agency delegations and reporting and recordkeeping procedures 
established by those agencies would be unaffected by this proposed rule 
as we are not proposing to change how agencies and their affected 
facilities currently interact. Air agencies will continue to require 
reports to be submitted in hardcopy form and records to be maintained 
in hardcopy form as they deem appropriate. However, we anticipate that 
some air agencies may choose to modify their current report submission 
requirements to accept those reports that are required to be submitted 
to the EPA electronically in lieu of the paper reports. In fact, we are 
aware of at least two air agencies that already require their 
facilities to use the ERT to electronically submit performance test 
reports to the air agency. To facilitate air agency access, air agency 
personnel who register for access to CEDRI will receive notifications 
when reports and associated data are submitted to the EPA's CEDRI by 
affected facilities in their delegated areas. Air agencies would have 
full access to reports and associated data as soon as they are 
submitted, and would not have to purchase any new software or hardware 
to access this information.
    In general, we anticipate that many air agencies will choose to 
transition to the use of the electronic reports because of the numerous 
benefits associated with electronic reporting:
     Streamlined and automated emissions data and report review 
potential. Access to data in a common electronic repository and format 
would allow air agencies to conduct standard automated data reviews 
that would ultimately streamline the time and steps that air agencies 
would need in their review of affected facility emissions data and 
reports. Air agencies could also require their facilities to provide 
air agency-required data that are routinely submitted with the NSPS-
required reports, and the EPA reporting templates will be able to 
accommodate the additional air agency-required data. In this manner, 
air agencies that elect to receive reports through the EPA's electronic 
reporting system can be assured of receiving the same information that 
they currently receive in paper reports submitted to them by affected 
facilities.
     Readily-accessible data. Air agencies would be able to 
access reports and data submitted and available electronically on-line 
from anywhere and anytime that they can obtain access to the Internet. 
Additionally, electronic files can be downloaded and saved to a data 
drive or hard drive for quick access and use during facility site 
visits. Air agencies could develop data retrieval programs specific to 
their needs.
     Federal repository/back-up system. Air agencies could be 
confident that the federal repository/back-up system would provide 
needed redundancy and security for submitted reports.
     Decreased air agency storage space needed. Because the 
specified data and reports would be submitted to the EPA electronically 
and will be stored safely and available to all stakeholders at all 
times (including air agencies) and because facilities would be allowed 
to maintain an electronic copy of the specified data and reports, air 
agencies would have the option of not maintaining these reports in 
either hardcopy or electronic form.

V. Impacts of Proposed Amendments

    We estimate total annualized savings for regulated facilities due 
to the proposed amendments to be approximately $300,000 per year. The 
estimate reflects a 7-percent discount rate and a 20-year annualization 
period. While we know there will also be a savings for air agencies and 
the EPA based upon the benefits described earlier in this preamble, we 
have not quantified these savings. The total annualized savings 
estimate reflects different assumptions for year 1, year 2 and year 3 
through year 20. This is because, in some cases, air agencies have 
their own rules that require hard copies of reports, and it would take 
time for those air agencies to transition (if they choose to) to the 
use of the EPA's electronic reporting system for the reports being 
proposed to be submitted electronically to the EPA's CDX. Thus, we have 
the transition from paper to electronic reporting drawn out to 3 years 
for those air agencies that adopt the EPA's electronic reporting 
requirements, in order to provide the time it would take to update 
permit requirements and create or change air agency reporting rules, 
where necessary. We assume that air agencies would continue to require 
submission of reports in hardcopy form to satisfy air agency reporting 
requirements in years 1 and 2 because the air agencies would not yet 
have had time to update reporting requirements. There is an initial 
cost associated with this rule because hardcopy and electronic reports 
may both be required during this time period, there is a learning curve 
associated with the use of our electronic system and data need to be 
entered initially which will be automatically populated in future 
reports. We estimate the cost of this rule for regulated facilities to 
be $6,010,000 for the first year and $4,980,000 for the second year. We 
assume that beginning in year 3, the air agencies will have had time to 
update reporting requirements as necessary so that hardcopy reports 
addressed by this proposal will no longer be required to be submitted 
to the air agencies for those air agencies that opt to review submitted 
reports through the EPA's electronic reporting system. Because only 
electronic reports will be required by this proposed rule, facilities 
will be familiar with the system, and initial data will already be 
populated in the system, we estimate that there will be a cost savings 
of approximately $1,460,000 for every year starting in year 3. For 
facilities where the air agency is not opting to view reports through 
the EPA's electronic reporting system, the system is being built such 
that the report will be able to be printed by the facility. The 
facility will then be able to mail the printed report to the air 
agency, if the air agency will accept the printed report in lieu of any 
otherwise required paper report. While there will be some extra burden 
associated with printing and mailing the report, we assume that the 
burden will be equal to or less than the current burden associated with 
submitting hardcopy reports and, therefore, equal to or less than the 
savings associated with entering the data electronically.
    For each of the three time periods (i.e., year 1, year 2 and year 3 
through year 20), Table 4 (in section VI of this preamble) provides a 
summary of the number of each type of report submitted and the total 
labor time and savings that would accrue. The following section briefly 
discusses the data used in calculating each component. For additional 
details on the calculations, please refer to the ``Electronic Reporting 
and Recordkeeping Requirements for NSPS Rule Estimate 09-17-2013 
includes Part 60.xlsx'' worksheet located in the docket.
    To estimate costs and savings associated with annual electronic 
submittal of source performance test reports, the agency compiled data 
on the total number of source performance tests required annually by 40 
CFR part

[[Page 15112]]

60 and its respective subparts.\8\ The total number of source 
performance test reports submitted annually is estimated to be 1,393. 
Because most NSPS do not require more than one source performance test 
per year, to calculate the annualized costs, we assessed the number of 
facilities and the number of stack tests that were included under ICRs 
(managed by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), 
OMB).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The data are found in the following worksheet in the 
docket--ERRR Rule EIA ICR Data Part 60.xlsx.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To estimate costs and savings associated with periodic reports, we 
compiled data on the total number of summary report and excess emission 
report submittals through a review of 40 CFR part 60 ICRs. The 
estimated number of periodic reports submitted each year is 17,612.
    In year 3 through year 20, we assume that written reports are no 
longer required by approximately 75 percent of the air agencies and 
that there is labor savings associated with only requiring electronic 
report submittal. This estimate is based on data collected from the 
IPT, a multi-disciplinary, cross-functional team that included EPA 
personnel from various offices and representatives from air agencies. 
Due to the ability of the electronic reporting system to access 
existing information in previously submitted reports, we assume that 
there is a 50-percent labor savings associated with electronically 
submitting source performance test reports, and we assume a 25-percent 
labor savings associated with electronically submitting periodic 
reports.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The 50-percent labor savings assumes an existing source 
performance test file can be reused and already contains about 50 
percent of required data. The 25-percent labor savings assumes about 
25-percent of the required data is in existing databases and will 
not need to be submitted a second time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We aggregated the labor costs and savings and annualized the totals 
over a 20-year period using a 7-percent discount rate; we estimated 
total annualized savings for this proposed rule to be approximately 
$300,000 per year for regulated facilities. We used labor rates from 
the Bureau of Labor Statistics and selected a rate for the Management, 
Professional and Related Occupations category; we adjusted the rate 
upward by 67 percent to reflect overhead.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The labor rates used in the analysis can be found at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/ecec.pdf, Table 9, Management, 
Professional and Related Occupations.

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Orders 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was 
therefore not submitted to OMB for review.
    An analysis of the potential costs and benefits associated with 
this action is contained in the Economic Impact Analysis for Electronic 
Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for NSPS Rule.\11\ This 
document addresses the economic impacts of the Electronic Reporting and 
Recordkeeping Requirements for New Source Performance Standards Rule. 
We estimated the total annualized savings for this proposed rule to be 
approximately $300,000 per year.

    \11\ Memo from Robin Langdon, EPA/OAR/OAQPS/AEG to Colin 
Boswell, EPA/OAR/OAQPS/MPG. Economic Impact Analysis for the 
Electronic Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for NSPS Rule. 
September 25, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden 
under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection 
activities contained in the existing regulations being amended with 
this action and this action does not involve the collection of any new 
information. Specifically, the purpose of this rule is to require that 
some targeted reports currently required to be submitted in hardcopy 
form to both the EPA and the delegated authority be submitted 
electronically to the EPA. While some delegation agreements have 
excepted hardcopy reporting to the EPA and this rule will not allow 
such exceptions for electronic reporting, the reports that would be 
submitted electronically in response to these proposed amendments 
contain the same data elements currently required by the affected NSPS 
to be submitted in hardcopy form to the air agencies. More importantly, 
these proposed

[[Page 15116]]

amendments would neither require additional reports nor require that 
additional content be added to already required reports. Therefore, 
this action would not impose any new information collection burden. 
Further, electronic reporting would reduce costs associated with 
information collection and, thus, compliance costs in the long-term.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In 
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant 
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no 
net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small 
entities subject to the rule. As described in section V of this 
preamble, implementation of this rule would result in savings of 
$300,000 per year due to reduced reporting burden. We have, therefore, 
concluded that this action will relieve regulatory burden for all 
directly regulated small entities. We continue to be interested in the 
potential impacts of this proposed rule on small entities and welcome 
comments on issues related to such impacts.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or 
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action imposes 
no enforceable duty on any state, local or tribal governments or the 
private sector.
    State, local or tribal governments will not be required to change 
the way that they interact with their facilities, unless they choose to 
do so. The only action required on the part of state, local or tribal 
governments is to update permitting requirements to reflect the 
electronic reporting provisions. We expect this to be a minimal burden, 
as most of these updates can be done during the permit renewal process.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action 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.
    Although section 6 of Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this 
proposed action, the EPA did consult with state and local officials 
representing air agencies in developing this action. In discussions 
with personnel in some air agencies and representatives for air 
agencies such as the National Association of Clean Air Agencies 
(NACAA), Association of Air Pollution Control Agencies (AAPCA) and 
Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) regarding 
this proposed rulemaking, they raised the issue of whether this 
proposal would change their delegated authority to implement and 
enforce federal air regulations (including NSPS). Specifically, air 
agencies expressed a concern about how this action would affect how 
they receive performance test reports and other air emissions data 
reports targeted by this action.
    This action would not affect an air agency's delegated authority, 
and air agencies would continue to receive reports directly from 
affected facilities in whatever format they require. The major 
difference is that air agencies would also have access to reports being 
proposed to be submitted to the EPA electronically through the EPA's 
CDX and WebFIRE, and would have the option of not receiving these 
reports directly from affected facilities. Because the proposed 
amendments do not interfere with the air agencies' authority or how 
they currently receive reports, we have addressed the concerns 
regarding the air agencies' authority and ability to implement and 
enforce the subject federal air regulations.
    We initiated a multi-disciplinary, cross-functional IPT during the 
development of the CEDRI that included EPA personnel from various 
offices and representatives from air agencies. The objectives of the 
CEDRI IPT were to gain insight and ideas regarding the data flow 
process within the CEDRI.
    In the spirit of Executive Order 13132, and consistent with EPA 
policy to promote communications between the EPA and state and local 
governments, the EPA specifically solicits comment on this proposed 
action from state and local officials.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in 
Executive Order 13175. It would not have substantial direct effects on 
tribal governments, on the relationship between the federal government 
and Indian tribes or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the federal government and Indian tribes, as specified in 
Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to 
this action. Nonetheless, to promote meaningful involvement, the EPA 
held a conference call with representatives from tribes on November 29, 
2012, to discuss details of the proposed amendments. Further tribal and 
public input is expected through public comment on the proposed 
amendments. The EPA specifically solicits additional comment on the 
proposed action from tribal officials.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those 
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks 
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect 
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in 
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to 
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental 
health risk or safety risk.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is 
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    The EPA believes the human health or environmental risk addressed 
by this action will not have potential disproportionately high and 
adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income 
or indigenous populations because it does not affect the level of 
protection provided to human health or the environment.
    Specifically, requiring the electronic submission of reports that 
are currently required to be submitted in hardcopy format would not 
affect the level of protection provided to human health or the 
environment. On the contrary, we expect electronic reporting to 
increase complete, accurate and timely submittal of data which will, in 
turn, improve the protection of public health and the

[[Page 15117]]

environment, providing a beneficial impact to all populations.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 60

    Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Hazardous 
substances, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Dated: February 26, 2015.
Gina McCarthy,
Administrator.
    For the reasons stated in the preamble, title 40, chapter I, of the 
Code of Federal Regulations is proposed to be amended as follows:

PART 60--STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE FOR NEW STATIONARY SOURCES

1. The authority citation for part 60 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq.

Subpart A--General Provisions

0
2. Section 60.4 is amended by revising paragraphs (a) introductory text 
and (b) introductory text to read as follows:


Sec.  60.4  Address.

    (a) All requests, reports, applications, submittals, and other 
communications to the Administrator pursuant to this part shall be 
submitted in duplicate to the appropriate Regional Office of the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency to the attention of the Director of the 
Division indicated in the following list of EPA Regional Offices. If a 
request, report, application, submittal, or other communication is 
required by this part to be submitted electronically via the EPA's 
Central Data Exchange (CDX) then such submission satisfies the 
requirements of this paragraph.
* * * * *
    (b) Section 111(c) directs the Administrator to delegate to each 
State, when appropriate, the authority to implement and enforce 
standards of performance for new stationary sources located in such 
State. Indian tribes which have obtained treatment in the same manner 
as a state (TAS) for that purpose may also be delegated such authority. 
All information required in this part to be submitted to the EPA, must 
also be submitted in paper format to the appropriate State or Tribal 
Agency of any State or Tribe to which this authority has been delegated 
(the delegated authority) unless the delegated authority specifies 
another format. Information submitted in paper format must be 
postmarked no later than the date that the report is required to be 
submitted to the EPA's CDX electronically. Any information required to 
be submitted electronically by this part via the EPA's CDX may, at the 
discretion of the delegated authority, satisfy the requirements of this 
paragraph. Each specific delegation may exempt sources from certain 
Federal or State reporting requirements under this part, with the 
exception of Federal electronic reporting requirements under this part. 
Sources may not be exempted from Federal electronic reporting 
requirements. If the electronic reporting form for the subpart of 
interest is not available in the Compliance and Emissions Data 
Reporting Interface (CEDRI) at the time that the report is due, the 
owner or operator must submit the report to the Administrator at the 
appropriate address listed in this section. The owner or operator must 
begin submitting reports via CEDRI no later than 90 days after the form 
becomes available in CEDRI. All reports must be submitted by the 
deadline specified in the subpart of interest, regardless of the method 
in which the report is submitted. The appropriate mailing address for 
those States whose delegation requests have been approved is as 
follows: * * *

3. Section 60.7 is amended by revising paragraph (c) introductory text 
and adding paragraph (i) to read as follows:


Sec.  60.7  Notification and record keeping.

* * * * *
    (c) Each owner or operator required to install a continuous 
monitoring device shall submit excess emissions and monitoring systems 
performance report (excess emissions are defined in applicable 
subparts) and-or summary report form (see paragraph (d) of this 
section) to the Administrator semiannually, except when: More frequent 
reporting is specifically required by an applicable subpart; or the 
Administrator, on a case-by-case basis, determines that more frequent 
reporting is necessary to accurately assess the compliance status of 
the source. Unless otherwise specified by an applicable subpart, each 
owner or operator shall submit reports required by this paragraph to 
the EPA via the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface 
(CEDRI). (CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange 
(CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/).) The owner or operator shall use the 
appropriate electronic report in CEDRI for this subpart or an alternate 
electronic file format consistent with the extensible markup language 
(XML) schema listed on the CEDRI Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/cedri/index.html). If the reporting form specific to this subpart 
is not available in CEDRI at the time that the report is due, the owner 
or operator shall submit the report to the Administrator at the 
appropriate address listed in Sec.  60.4. The owner or operator shall 
begin submitting reports via CEDRI no later than 90 days after the form 
becomes available in CEDRI. All reports shall be submitted by the 30th 
day following the end of each six-month period, regardless of the 
method in which the report is submitted, as required under this part. 
Reports of excess emissions shall include the following information: * 
* *
    (i) Any records required to be maintained by this part that are 
submitted electronically via the EPA's CDX may be maintained in 
electronic format.

4. Section 60.8 is amended by revising paragraph (a) introductory text 
and adding paragraph (j) to read as follows:


Sec.  60.8  Performance tests.

    (a) Except as specified in paragraphs (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), and 
(a)(4) of this section, within 60 days after achieving the maximum 
production rate at which the affected facility will be operated, but 
not later than 180 days after initial startup of such facility, or at 
such other times specified by this part, and at such other times as may 
be required by the Administrator under section 114 of the Act, the 
owner or operator of such facility shall conduct performance test(s) 
and submit to the Administrator a report of the results of such 
performance test(s) following the procedure specified in paragraph (j) 
of this section.
* * * * *
    (j) Unless otherwise specified in an applicable subpart, each owner 
or operator must submit the results of all performance tests following 
the procedure specified in either paragraph (j)(1) or (j)(2) of this 
section.
    (1) For data collected using test methods supported by the EPA's 
Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) as listed on the EPA's ERT Web site 
(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/index.html) at the time of the test, 
the owner or operator must submit the results of the performance test 
to the EPA via the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface 
(CEDRI). (CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange 
(CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/).) Performance test data must be submitted 
in a file format generated through the use of the EPA's ERT or an 
alternate electronic file format consistent with the extensible markup 
language (XML) schema listed on the EPA's ERT Web site. Owners or 
operators who claim that some of the performance test information being

[[Page 15118]]

submitted is confidential business information (CBI) must submit a 
complete file generated through the use of the EPA's ERT or an 
alternate electronic file consistent with the XML schema listed on the 
EPA's ERT Web site, including information claimed to be CBI, on a 
compact disc, flash drive, or other commonly used electronic storage 
media to the EPA. The electronic media must be clearly marked as CBI 
and mailed to U.S. EPA/OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group Leader, 
Measurement Policy Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 
27703. The same ERT or alternate file with the CBI omitted must be 
submitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX as described earlier in this 
paragraph.
    (2) For data collected using test methods that are not supported by 
the EPA's ERT as listed on the EPA's ERT Web site at the time of the 
test, the owner or operator must submit the results of the performance 
test to the Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  
60.4.

    (c) * * *
    (2) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the 
owner or operator of an affected facility shall submit to the 
Administrator within 60 days of completion of the performance 
evaluation a report of the results of the performance evaluation. 
Unless otherwise provided by an applicable subpart, the results of the 
performance evaluation shall be submitted following the procedure 
specified in either paragraph (c)(2)(i) or (c)(2)(ii) of this section.
    (i) For performance evaluations of continuous monitoring systems 
measuring relative accuracy test audit (RATA) pollutants that are 
supported by the EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) as listed on the 
EPA's ERT Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/index.html at the 
time of the test, the owner or operator shall submit the results of the 
performance evaluation to the EPA via the Compliance and Emissions Data 
Reporting Interface (CEDRI). (CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's 
Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/).) Performance 
evaluation data shall be submitted in a file format generated through 
the use of the EPA's ERT or an alternate electronic file format 
consistent with the extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on 
the EPA's ERT Web site. Owners or operators who claim that some of the 
performance evaluation information being submitted is confidential 
business information (CBI) shall submit a complete file generated 
through the use of the EPA's ERT or an alternate electronic file 
consistent with the XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT Web site, 
including information claimed to be CBI, on a compact disc, flash 
drive, or other commonly used electronic storage media to the EPA. The 
electronic media shall be clearly marked as CBI and mailed to U.S. EPA/
OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group Leader, Measurement Policy 
Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 27703. The same ERT or 
alternate file with the CBI omitted shall be submitted to the EPA via 
the EPA's CDX as described earlier in this paragraph.
    (ii) For any performance evaluations of continuous monitoring 
systems measuring RATA pollutants that are not supported by the EPA's 
ERT as listed on the EPA's ERT Web site at the time of the test, the 
owner or operator shall submit two or, upon request, more copies of a 
written report of the results of the performance evaluation to the 
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  60.4.

6. Section 60.19 is amended by revising paragraph (b) to read as 
follows:


Sec.  60.19  General notification and reporting requirements.

* * * * *
    (b) For the purposes of this part, if an explicit postmark and-or 
electronic submittal deadline is not specified in an applicable 
requirement for the submittal of a notification, application, report, 
or other written communication to the Administrator, the owner or 
operator shall postmark, when paper submission is required by this 
part, and electronically submit, when electronic submission is required 
by this part, the submittal on or before the number of days specified 
in the applicable requirement. For example, if a notification must be 
submitted 15 days before a particular event is scheduled to take place, 
the notification shall be postmarked, when paper submission is required 
by this part, and electronically submitted, when electronic submission 
is required by this part, on or before 15 days preceding the event; 
likewise, if a notification must be submitted 15 days after a 
particular event takes place, the notification shall be delivered or 
postmarked, when paper submission is required by this part, and 
electronically submitted, when electronic submission is required by 
this part, on or before 15 days following the end of the event. For 
submittals required to be submitted in paper form, the use of reliable 
non-Government mail carriers that provide indications of verifiable 
delivery of information required to be submitted to the Administrator, 
similar to the postmark provided by the U.S. Postal Service, or 
alternative means of delivery, including the use of electronic media, 
agreed to by the permitting authority, is acceptable.

    (a) For all affected facilities subject to compliance with Sec.  
60.442, the performance test data and results from the performance test 
shall be submitted as specified in Sec.  60.8(j) of the General 
Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A).
    (b) Following the initial performance test, the owner or operator 
of each affected facility shall submit quarterly reports of exceedances 
of the VOC emission limits specified in Sec.  60.442. If no such 
exceedances occur during a particular quarter, a report stating this 
shall be submitted semiannually. These quarterly and semiannual reports 
shall be submitted to the EPA via the Compliance and Emissions Data 
Reporting Interface (CEDRI). (CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's 
Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/).) The owner or 
operator shall use the appropriate electronic report in CEDRI for this 
subpart or an alternate electronic file format consistent with the 
extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on the CEDRI Web site 
(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/cedri/index.html). If the reporting form 
specific to this subpart is not available in CEDRI at the time that the 
report is due, the owner or operator shall submit the report to the 
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  60.4. The 
owner or operator shall begin submitting reports via CEDRI no later 
than 90 days after the form becomes available in CEDRI. The report must 
be submitted by the deadline specified in this subpart, regardless of 
the method in which the report is submitted.

[[Page 15128]]

    (c) The owner or operator of each affected facility shall also 
submit reports, at the frequency and following the procedure specified 
in Sec.  60.7(c), when the incinerator temperature drops as defined 
under Sec.  60.443(e). If no such periods occur, the owner or operator 
shall state this in the report.
    (d) The requirements of this subsection remain in force until and 
unless the EPA, in delegating enforcement authority to a State under 
section 111(c) of the Act, approves reporting requirements or an 
alternative means of compliance surveillance adopted by such States. In 
that event, affected sources within the State will be relieved of the 
obligation to comply with this subsection, provided that they comply 
with the requirements established by the State. Electronic reporting to 
the EPA cannot be waived, and as such, the provisions of this paragraph 
do not relieve owners or operators of affected facilities of the 
requirement to submit the electronic reports required in this section 
to the EPA.

report to the Administrator is less than 50 megagrams per year in each 
of the next 5 consecutive years, the owner or operator may elect to 
submit, following the procedure specified in paragraph (h) of this 
section, an estimate of the NMOC emission rate for the next 5-year 
period in lieu of the annual report. This estimate shall include the 
current amount of solid waste-in-place and the estimated waste 
acceptance rate for each year of the 5 years for which an NMOC emission 
rate is estimated. All data and calculations upon which this estimate 
is based shall be provided to the Administrator. This estimate shall be 
revised at least once every 5 years. If the actual waste acceptance 
rate exceeds the estimated waste acceptance rate in any year reported 
in the 5-year estimate, a revised 5-year estimate shall be submitted to 
the Administrator. The revised estimate shall cover the 5-year period 
beginning with the year in which the actual waste acceptance rate 
exceeded the estimated waste acceptance rate.

year, annual periodic reporting shall be resumed, using the Tier 2 
determined site-specific NMOC concentration, until the calculated 
emission rate is equal to or greater than 50 megagrams per year or the 
landfill is closed. The revised NMOC emission rate report, with the 
recalculated emission rate based on NMOC sampling and analysis, shall 
be submitted, following the procedure specified in paragraph (h) of 
this section, within 180 days of the first calculated exceedance of 50 
megagrams per year.

emission rate after determining a site-specific methane generation rate 
constant (k), as provided in Tier 3 in Sec.  60.754(a)(4), and the 
resulting NMOC emission rate is less than 50 Mg/yr, annual periodic 
reporting shall be resumed. The resulting site-specific methane 
generation rate constant (k) shall be used in the emission rate 
calculation until such time as the emissions rate calculation results 
in an exceedance. The revised NMOC emission rate report based on the 
provisions of Sec.  60.754(a)(4) and the resulting site-specific 
methane generation rate constant (k) shall be submitted, following the 
procedure specified in paragraph (h) of this section, within 1 year of

    (b) Reporting requirements. You must submit annual reports 
containing the information specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (6) 
of this section and performance test reports as specified in paragraph 
(b)(7) or (8) of this section. You must submit annual reports following 
the procedure specified in paragraph (b)(9). The initial annual report 
is due no later than 90 days after the end of the initial compliance 
period as determined according to Sec.  60.5410. Subsequent annual 
reports are due no later than the same date each year as the initial 
annual report. If you own or operate more than one affected facility, 
you may submit one report for multiple affected facilities provided the 
report contains all of the information required as specified in 
paragraphs (b)(1) through (6) of this section. Annual reports may 
coincide with title V reports as long as all the required elements of 
the annual report are included. You may arrange with the Administrator 
a common schedule on which reports required by this part may be 
submitted as long as the schedule does not extend the reporting period.
* * * * *
    (7) Within 60 days after the date of completing each performance 
test (see Sec.  60.8) required by this subpart, except testing 
conducted by the manufacturer as specified in Sec.  60.5413(d), you 
must submit the results of the performance test following the procedure 
specified in either paragraph (b)(7)(i) or (b)(7)(ii) of this section.
    (i) For data collected using test methods supported by the EPA's 
Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) as listed on the EPA's ERT Web site 
(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/index.html) at the time of the test, 
you must submit the results of the performance test to the EPA via the 
Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). (CEDRI can 
be accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://

format generated through the use of the EPA's ERT or an alternate 
electronic file format consistent with the extensible markup language 
(XML) schema listed on the EPA's ERT Web site. If you claim that some 
of the performance test information being submitted is confidential 
business information (CBI), you must submit a complete file generated 
through the use of the EPA's ERT or an alternate electronic file 
consistent with the XML schema listed on the EPA's ERT Web site, 
including information claimed to be CBI, on a compact disc, flash 
drive, or other commonly used electronic storage media to the EPA. The 
electronic media must be clearly marked as CBI and mailed to U.S. EPA/
OAQPS/CORE CBI Office, Attention: Group Leader, Measurement Policy 
Group, MD C404-02, 4930 Old Page Rd., Durham, NC 27703. The same ERT or 
alternate file with the CBI omitted must be submitted to the EPA via 
the EPA's CDX as described earlier in this paragraph.
    (ii) For data collected using test methods that are not supported 
by the EPA's ERT as listed on the EPA's ERT Web site at the time of the 
test, you must submit the results of the performance test to the 
Administrator at the appropriate address listed in Sec.  60.4.
* * * * *
    (9) If you are required to submit reports in the manner specified 
in this paragraph, you must submit reports to the EPA via the CEDRI. 
(CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's CDX (https://cdx.epa.gov/).) 
You must use the appropriate electronic report in CEDRI for this 
subpart or an alternate electronic file format consistent with the 
extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on the CEDRI Web site 
(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/cedri/index.html). If the reporting form 
specific to this subpart is not available in CEDRI at the time that the 
report is due, you must submit the report to the Administrator at the 
appropriate address listed in Sec.  60.4. You must begin submitting 
reports via CEDRI no later than 90 days after the form becomes 
available in CEDRI. The reports must be submitted by the deadlines 
specified in this subpart, regardless of the method in which the 
reports are submitted.
    (c) Recordkeeping requirements. You must maintain the records 
identified as specified in Sec.  60.7(f) and in paragraphs (c)(1) 
through (13) of this section. All records required by this subpart must 
be maintained either onsite or at the nearest local field office for at 
least 5 years. Any records required to be maintained by this subpart 
that are submitted electronically via the EPA's CDX may be maintained 
in electronic format.

of this section in addition to the requirements of Sec.  60.487a(a), 
(b), (c)(2)(i) through (iv), and (c)(2)(vii) through (viii). As 
required by Sec.  60.487a(a), you must submit semiannual reports to the 
EPA via the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). 
(CEDRI can be accessed through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) 
(https://cdx.epa.gov/).) Use the appropriate electronic report in CEDRI 
for this subpart or an alternate electronic file format consistent with 
the extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on the CEDRI Web 
site (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/cedri/index.html). If the reporting 
form specific to this subpart is not available in CEDRI at the time 
that the report is due, submit the report to the Administrator at the 
appropriate address listed in Sec.  60.4. You must begin submitting 
reports via CEDRI no later than 90 days after the form becomes 
available in CEDRI. The report must be submitted by the deadline 
specified in this subpart, regardless of the method in which the report 
is submitted.

100. Section 60.5423 is amended by revising paragraph (b) introductory 
text and paragraph (e) to read as follows:


Sec.  60.5423  What additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements 
apply to my sweetening unit affected facilities at onshore natural gas 
processing plants?

* * * * *
    (b) You must submit a report of excess emissions with your annual 
report if you had excess emissions during the reporting period. The 
excess emissions report must be submitted to the EPA via the Compliance 
and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). (CEDRI can be accessed 
through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) (https://cdx.epa.gov/).) 
You must use the appropriate electronic report in CEDRI for this 
subpart or an alternate electronic file format consistent with the 
extensible markup language (XML) schema listed on the CEDRI Web site

    (e) The requirements of paragraph (b) of this section remain in 
force until and unless the EPA, in delegating enforcement authority to 
a state under section 111(c) of the Act, approves reporting 
requirements or an alternative means of compliance surveillance adopted 
by such state. In that event, affected sources within the state will be 
relieved of obligation to comply with paragraph (b) of this section, 
provided that they comply with the requirements established by the 
state. Electronic reporting to the EPA cannot be waived, and as such, 
the provisions of this paragraph do not relieve owners or operators of 
affected facilities of the requirement to submit the electronic reports 
required in this section to the EPA.
