National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Secondary Aluminum Production

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct 
final action to amend the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants for Secondary Aluminum Production (Secondary Aluminum 
NESHAP). This direct final rule amends the final rule that was 
published in the Federal Register on September 18, 2015, by correcting 
inadvertent errors, clarifying rule requirements for initial 
performance tests and submittal of malfunction reports, providing an 
additional option for new round top furnaces to account for unmeasured 
emissions during compliance testing, and clarifying what constitutes a 
change in furnace operating mode. The direct final rule also updates 
Web site addresses for the EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) and 
the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). These 
amendments will help to improve compliance and implementation of the 
rule.

DATES: This rule is effective on September 12, 2016 without further 
notice, unless the EPA receives adverse comment by July 28, 2016 If the 
EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in 
the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take 
effect.
    Public Hearing. If anyone contacts the EPA requesting to speak at a 
public hearing by June 20, 2016 we will hold a public hearing on June 
28, 2016 on the EPA campus at 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research 
Triangle Park, North Carolina.

I. General Information

A. Why is the EPA publishing a direct final rule?

    The EPA is publishing this direct final rule without a prior 
proposed rule because we view this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipate no adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' 
section of this Federal Register, we are publishing a separate document 
that will serve as the proposed rule to amend the Secondary Aluminum 
NESHAP, if adverse comments are received on this direct final rule. We 
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting must do so at this time. For further 
information about commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of 
this document.
    If the EPA receives adverse comment on all or a distinct portion of 
this direct final rule, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the 
Federal Register informing the public that some or all of this direct 
final rule will not take effect. We would address all public comments 
in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.

B. Does this direct final rule apply to me?

    Categories and entities potentially regulated by this direct final 
rule include:

    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a 
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by this 
direct final rule. To determine whether your facility is affected, you 
should examine the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 63.1500. If you 
have any questions regarding the applicability of any aspect of this 
action to a particular entity, consult either the air permitting 
authority for the entity or your EPA Regional representative as listed 
in 40 CFR 63.13.

[[Page 38086]]

C. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for the EPA?

    Do not submit information containing CBI to the EPA through http://www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information on a disk or 
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, a copy of the comments that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
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 No. 
EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0544.

II. What are the amendments made by this direct final rule?

    This direct final rule amends the table in Appendix A titled 
``Appendix A to Subpart RRR of Part 63--General Provisions 
Applicability to Subpart RRR.'' As published in the Federal Register on 
September 18, 2015, the table consisted of three columns labeled 
``Citation,'' ``Applies to RRR,'' and ``Comment.'' The EPA had intended 
to include a fourth column labeled ``Requirement,'' but this column was 
inadvertently omitted from the September 18, 2015, publication in the 
Federal Register. We are revising the table by adding a column labeled 
``Requirement,'' which contains a brief description of the cited 
General Provision and republishing the entire table with appropriate 
updated information and clarifications. This amendment will provide 
additional information to the public on the content of the General 
Provision citations.
    In response to stakeholder feedback, this direct final rule also 
amends 40 CFR 63.1514(e), which contains the limits on the frequency of 
changing furnace operating mode. The amendment clarifies that a change 
from one operating mode and subsequently back to the initial mode 
constitutes a single change. With respect to the options available to 
new round top furnaces to account for unmeasured emissions during 
compliance testing, this direct final rule also amends 40 CFR 
63.1512(e)(5) to extend to new round top furnaces a compliance testing 
option to account for unmeasured emissions during compliance testing 
that is already available to uncontrolled group 1 furnaces. With this 
amendment, new round top furnaces will now have the option of assuming 
an 80-percent capture efficiency for the furnace exhaust during 
testing. We are adding 40 CFR 63.1516(b)(4) of the reporting 
requirements to clarify that malfunction reports required by 40 CFR 
63.1516(d) must be submitted as part of the semiannual excess 
emissions/summary reports required by 40 CFR 63.1516(b). With respect 
to reconstructed sources, we are revising 40 CFR 63.1511(b) to clarify 
that under this provision reconstructed sources will be treated like 
new sources. In addition to correcting several minor typographical 
errors, we are correcting the inadvertent deletion of 40 CFR 
63.1510(e)(1) and (2) from the regulatory text. These provisions relate 
to equipment accuracy and calibration and were previously codified when 
the Secondary Aluminum NESHAP was originally promulgated in 2000. The 
September 18, 2015, action mistakenly removed these provisions. This 
rulemaking replaces these provisions in the regulatory text to ensure 
that the regulated community has a clear understanding of the 
applicable compliance requirements.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

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

A. Executive Order 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 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review.

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 regulation (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart RRR), and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0433. This 
action does not change the information collection requirements.

 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. This 
action will not impose any requirements on small entities. This action 
does not create any new requirements or burdens and no costs are 
associated with this direct final action.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate 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.

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.

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

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in 
Executive Order 13175. There are no secondary aluminum production 
facilities owned or operated by tribal governments. Thus, Executive 
Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

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.

[[Page 38087]]

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 section will not have potential disproportionately high and 
adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income, 
or indigenous populations. This action does not affect the level of 
protection provided to human health or the environment. The final 
amendments are either clarifications or corrections of compliance 
alternatives that will neither increase or decrease environmental 
protection.

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule 
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of 
the United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
U.S.C. 804(2).

2. Section 63.1510 is amended by revising paragraph (b) introductory 
text and adding paragraphs (e)(1) and (2) to read as follows:


Sec.  63.1510  Monitoring requirements.

* * * * *
    (b) Operation, maintenance, and monitoring (OM&M) plan. The owner 
or operator must prepare and implement for each new or existing 
affected source and emission unit, a written OM&M plan. The owner or 
operator of an existing affected source must submit the OM&M plan to 
the permitting authority for major sources, or the Administrator for 
area sources no later than the compliance date established by Sec.  
63.1501. The owner or operator of any new affected source must submit 
the OM&M plan to the permitting authority for major sources, or the 
Administrator for area sources within 90 days after a successful 
initial performance test under Sec.  63.1511(b), or within 90 days 
after the compliance date established by Sec.  63.1501 if no initial 
performance test is required. The plan must be accompanied by a written 
certification by the owner or operator that the OM&M plan satisfies all 
requirements of this section and is otherwise consistent with the 
requirements of this subpart. The owner or operator must comply with 
all of the provisions of the OM&M plan as submitted to the permitting 
authority for major sources, or the Administrator for area sources, 
unless and until the plan is revised in accordance with the following 
procedures. If the permitting authority for major sources, or the 
Administrator for area sources determines at any time after receipt of 
the OM&M plan that any revisions of the plan are necessary to satisfy 
the requirements of this section or this subpart, the owner or operator 
must promptly make all necessary revisions and resubmit the revised 
plan. If the owner or operator determines that any other revisions of 
the OM&M plan are necessary, such revisions will not become effective 
until the owner or operator submits a description of the changes and a 
revised plan incorporating them to the permitting authority for major 
sources, or the Administrator for area sources. Each plan must contain 
the following information:
* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (1) The accuracy of the weight measurement device or procedure must 
be 1 percent of the weight being measured. The owner or 
operator may apply to the permitting agency for approval to use a 
device of alternative accuracy if the required accuracy cannot be 
achieved as a result of equipment layout or charging practices. A 
device of alternative accuracy will not be approved unless the owner or 
operator provides assurance through data and information that the 
affected source will meet the relevant emission standard.
    (2) The owner or operator must verify the calibration of the weight 
measurement device in accordance with the schedule specified by the 
manufacturer, or if no calibration schedule is specified, at least once 
every 6 months.
* * * * *

3. Section 63.1511 is amended by revising paragraph (b) introductory 
text and paragraph (i) heading to read as follows:


Sec.  63.1511  Performance test/compliance demonstration general 
requirements.

* * * * *
    (b) Initial performance test. Following approval of the site-
specific test plan, the owner or operator must demonstrate initial 
compliance with each applicable emission, equipment, work practice, or 
operational standard for each affected source and emission unit, and 
report the results in the notification of compliance status report as 
described in Sec.  63.1515(b). The owner or operator of any affected 
source constructed before February 14, 2012, for which an initial 
performance test is required to demonstrate compliance must conduct 
this initial performance test no later than the date for compliance 
established by Sec.  63.1501. The owner or operator of any affected 
source constructed or reconstructed after February 14, 2012, for which 
an initial performance test is required must conduct this initial 
performance test within 180 days after the date for compliance 
established by Sec.  63.1501. Except for the date by which the 
performance test must be conducted, the owner or operator must conduct 
each performance test in accordance with the requirements and 
procedures set forth in Sec.  63.7(c). Owners or operators of affected 
sources located at facilities which are area sources are subject only 
to those performance testing requirements pertaining to D/F. Owners or 
operators of sweat furnaces meeting the specifications of Sec.  
63.1505(f)(1) are not required to conduct a performance test.

(e)(4)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this section at the next required 
performance test required by Sec.  63.1511(e).
* * * * *
    (v) Round top furnaces constructed before February 14, 2012, and 
reconstructed round top furnaces are exempt from the requirements of 
paragraphs (e)(4)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section. Round top 
furnaces must be operated to minimize unmeasured emissions according to 
paragraph (e)(7) of this section.
    (5) When testing a new uncontrolled furnace, other than a new round 
top furnace, constructed after February 14, 2012, the owner or operator 
must comply with the requirements of paragraph (e)(5)(i) or (ii) of 
this section at the next required performance test required by Sec.  
63.1511(e). When testing a new round top furnace constructed after 
February 14, 2012, the owner or operator must comply with the 
requirements of either paragraphs (e)(5)(i), (ii), or (iii) of this 
section at the next required performance test required by Sec.  
63.1511(e).
    (i) Install hooding that meets ACGIH Guidelines (incorporated by 
reference, see Sec.  63.14), or
    (ii) At least 180 days prior to testing petition the permitting 
authority for major sources, or the Administrator for area sources, 
that such hoods are impractical under the provisions of paragraph 
(e)(6) of this section and propose testing procedures that will 
minimize unmeasured emissions during the performance test according to 
the paragraph (e)(7) of this section, or
    (iii) Assume an 80-percent capture efficiency for the furnace 
exhaust (i.e., multiply emissions measured at the furnace exhaust 
outlet by 1.25). If the source fails to demonstrate compliance using 
the 80-percent capture efficiency assumption, the owner or operator 
must re-test with a hood that meets the ACGIH Guidelines within 180 
days, or petition the permitting authority for major sources, or the 
Administrator for area sources, within 180 days that such hoods are 
impractical under the provisions of paragraph (e)(6) of this section 
and propose testing procedures that will minimize unmeasured emissions 
during the performance test according to paragraph (e)(7) of this 
section.
    (iv) The 80-percent capture efficiency assumption is not applicable 
in the event of testing conducted under an approved petition submitted 
pursuant to paragraphs (e)(5)(ii) or (iii) of this section.

7. Section 63.1515 is amended by revising paragraph (b) introductory 
text to read as follows:


Sec.  63.1515  Notifications.

* * * * *
    (b) Notification of compliance status report. Each owner or 
operator of an existing affected source must submit a notification of 
compliance status report within 60 days after the compliance date 
established by Sec.  63.1501. Each owner or operator of a new affected 
source must submit a notification of compliance status report within 90 
days after conducting the initial performance test required by Sec.  
63.1511(b), or within 90 days after the compliance date established by 
Sec.  63.1501 if no initial performance test is required. The 
notification must be signed by the responsible official who must 
certify its accuracy. A complete notification of compliance status 
report must include the information specified in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (10) of this section. The required information may be submitted 
in an operating permit application, in an amendment to an operating 
permit application, in a separate submittal, or in any combination. In 
a State with an approved operating permit program where delegation of 
authority under section 112(l) of the CAA has not been requested or 
approved, the owner or operator must provide duplicate notification to 
the applicable Regional Administrator. If an owner or operator submits 
the information specified in this section at different times or in 
different submittals, later submittals may refer to earlier submittals 
instead of duplicating and resubmitting the information previously 
submitted. A complete notification of compliance status report must 
include:

    (A) For data collected using test methods supported by the EPA's 
Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) as listed on the EPA's ERT Web site 
(https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_info.html), 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://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. 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

    (d) If there was a malfunction during the reporting period, the 
owner or operator must submit a report that includes the emission unit 
ID, monitor ID, pollutant or parameter monitored, beginning date and 
time of the event, end date and time of the event, cause of the 
deviation or exceedance and corrective action taken for each 
malfunction which occurred during the reporting period and which caused 
or may have caused any applicable emission limitation to be exceeded. 
The report must include a list of the affected source or equipment, an 
estimate of the quantity of each regulated pollutant emitted over any 
emission limit, and a description of the method used to estimate the 
emissions, including, but not limited to, product-loss calculations, 
mass balance calculations, measurements when available, or engineering 
judgment based on known process parameters. The report must also 
include a description of actions taken by an owner or operator during a 
malfunction of an affected source to minimize emissions in accordance 
with Sec.  63.1506(a)(5).

\b\ Permitting agency may approve measurement devices of alternative accuracy, for example in cases where flux
  rates are very low and costs of meters of specified accuracy are prohibitive; or where feed/charge weighing
  devices of specified accuracy are not practicable due to equipment layout or charging practices.

\c\ Permitting authority for major sources, or the Administrator for area sources may approve other alternatives
  including load cells for lime hopper weight, sensors for carrier gas pressure, or HCl monitoring devices at
  fabric filter outlet.
\d\ The frequency of volumetric flow rate measurements may be decreased to once every 5 years if daily
  differential pressure measures, daily fan RPM, or daily fan motor amp measurements are made in accordance with
  Sec.   63.1510(d)(2)(ii)-(iii). The frequency of annual verification of a permanent total enclosure may be
  decreased to once every 5 years if negative pressure measurements in the enclosure are made daily in
  accordance with Sec.   63.1510(d)(2)(iv). In lieu of volumetric flow rate measurements or verification of
  permanent total enclosure, sweat furnaces may demonstrate annually negative air flow into the sweat furnace
  opening in accordance with Sec.   63.1510(d)(3).
