National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: 
Gasoline Distribution Technology Review and Standards of Performance 
for Bulk Gasoline Terminals Review

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of data availability; request for 
comment; extending the comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing a 
notice of data availability (NODA) and extending the comment period for 
proposed amendments to the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous 
Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gasoline Distribution facilities and the 
Standards of Performance for Bulk Gasoline Terminals and proposed New 
Source Performance Standards (NSPS). The original proposed rule was 
published on June 10, 2022, with a 60-day public comment period closing 
August 9, 2022. With this notification, EPA is extending the public 
comment period for an additional 30 days, until September 12, 2022.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published June 10, 
2022, at 87 FR 35608, is extended. Comments should be received by 
September 12, 2022.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID 
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0371. Follow the detailed instructions provided 
under ADDRESSES in the Federal Register document of June 10, 2022 (87 
FR 35608) for the submission of comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Neil Feinberg, Sector Policies and 
Programs Division (E143-01), Office of Air Quality Planning and 
Standards, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle 
Park, North Carolina 27711; telephone number: (919) 541-2214; fax 
number: (919) 541-0516; and email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The source categories subject to the June 
10, 2022, proposal are Gasoline Distribution regulated under 40 CFR 
part 63, subparts R and BBBBBB and Petroleum Transportation and 
Marketing regulated under 40 CFR part 60, subpart XX. The EPA proposed 
revised requirements for loading operations, storage vessels and 
equipment leaks at bulk gasoline terminals and pipeline breakout 
stations at major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions under 
the NESHAP for the major source gasoline distribution facilities (part 
63, subpart R). The EPA also proposed revised requirements for loading 
operations, storage vessels and equipment leaks at area source bulk 
gasoline terminals, bulk gasoline plants, pipeline breakout stations, 
and pipeline pumping stations under the NESHAP for the area source 
gasoline distribution facilities (part 63, subpart BBBBBB). The sources 
affected by the proposed NSPS (part 60, subpart XXa) are loading 
operations and equipment leaks at bulk gasoline terminals that 
commenced construction or modification after June 10, 2022; emissions 
from storage vessels are covered under a separate NSPS (part 60, 
subpart Kb), which was not proposed to be amended.
    On July 25, 2022, Our Children's Earth Foundation (``OCE'') 
requested an extension of the comment deadline for 30 to 45 days to 
review the proposed rules and supporting information included in the 
docket. OCE outlined several instances where they believed information 
appeared to be missing in the rulemaking docket. The EPA reviewed the 
rulemaking docket and concluded that, in most cases, the docket record 
was complete. However, we realized that we inadvertently omitted 
enforcement reports relied on for the proposed lower explosive limits 
(LEL) monitoring requirements included for internal floating roof 
storage vessels in that major and area source NESHAP. Following this 
request from OCE, EPA has decided to provide this notice of data 
availability (NODA) and comment period reopening to provide to notice 
and time for commenters to fully review the proposed rulemaking, 
including the additional information on LEL

enforcement records that have been added to the docket after June 10, 
2022. The comment period is being extended for 30 days, from August 12, 
2022 to September 12, 2022.

Director, Sector Policies and Programs Division.
