petition, submitted on January 17, 2013, on behalf of St. Marys Cement 
(SMC), asked EPA to reconsider its action promulgating emission limits 
representing best available retrofit technology for SMC's facility in 
Charlevoix, Michigan. EPA has denied the petition by action signed 
February 20, 2014, for reasons that EPA explains in the document 
denying SMC's petition.

No. EPA-R05-OAR-2013-0825, which includes the petition for
