RIN 2060-AN85
Risk and Technology Review, Phase II, Group 2
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM); extension of
public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing that the comment period for the advanced
notice for proposed rulemaking for the Risk and Technology Review,
Phase II, Group 2 published on March 29, 2007, is being extended until
June 29, 2007, for all source categories except Petroleum Refineries.
[[Page 29288]]
DATES: Comments. The comment period has been extended from May 29,
2007. Comments must now be received on or before June 29, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2006-0859, by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
E-mail: a-and-r-docket@epa.gov, Attention Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0859.
Facsimile: (202) 566-1741, Attention Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2006-0859.
Mail: U.S. Postal Service, send comments to: EPA Docket
Center (6102T), Attention E-Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0859, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460. Please include a total of
two copies.
Hand Delivery: In person or by courier, deliver comments
to: EPA Docket Center (6102T), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20004. Such deliveries are only accepted
during the Docket's normal hours of operation, and special arrangements
should be made for deliveries of boxed information. Please include a
total of two copies.
Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2006-0859. As described further in section VII of the advanced notice
of proposed rulemaking, specific data change suggestions need to be
accompanied by supporting documentation that includes a description of
any assumptions used and any technical information and/or data that you
used. We strongly urge that all data revision comments be submitted in
the form of updated Microsoft(r) Access files, which are provided on
the http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/rrisk/rtrpg.html webpage. Data in the
form of written descriptions or other electronic file formats will be
difficult for EPA to translate into the necessary format in a timely
manner. Additionally, placing the burden on EPA to interpret data
submitted in other formats increases the possibility of
misinterpretation or errors. EPA's policy is that all comments received
will be included in the public docket without change and may be made
available online at http://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
http://www.regulations.gov, or e-mail. Send or deliver information identified
as CBI only to the following address: Mr. Roberto Morales, OAQPS
Document Control Officer, U.S. EPA (C404-02), Attention Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0859, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. The
http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which
means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment
directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail
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. If you submit an electronic comment, 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 EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, (i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute). Certain other material,
such as copyrighted material will be publicly available only in hard
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the EPA Docket
Center, EPA West, 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulated Entities. Entities potentially
affected by this action include facilities containing any one or more
of the 22 major source categories subject to the 12 national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) (or commonly referred
to maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards) listed in
Table 1. The Petroleum Refineries source category is affected by this
action, but will not receive an extension of the comment period due to
the court-ordered deadline of August 22, 2007, for proposal of the
technology review. This action does not affect area sources, as these
NESHAP do not apply to area sources. Industries regulated by these MACT
are classified by the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) codes shown in Table 1. In addition, a classification system of
MACT codes has been developed and is used in the 2002 National
Emissions Inventory to identify processes included in each MACT source
category. The MACT codes for the 22 source categories addressed in this
notice are also displayed in Table 1.

Phase II webpage at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/rrisk/rtrpg.html. This
information includes source category descriptions and detailed
emissions and other data that will be used as model inputs.
Comment Period
We received 15 requests to extend the public comment period on the
advance notice of proposed rulemaking for the Risk and Technology
Review, Phase II, Group 2 (72 FR 14734, March 29, 2007). We are
extending the comment period to June 29, 2007, for all source
categories except Petroleum Refineries. EPA is under a court-ordered
deadline to propose action on the technology review for this source
category by August 22, 2007. All comments for Petroleum Refineries must
be received by May 29, 2007. Public comments must be received on or
before June 29, 2007 for all other source categories.
How can I get copies of the proposed amendments and other related
