The commission proposes new 113.750, which will incorporate
by reference, without change, the final rules for Subpart RRR
adopted by the EPA on March 23, 2000 (65 FR 15690) and
amended on June 14, 2002 (67 FR 41118); August 13, 2002
(67 FR 52616); September 24, 2002 (67 FR 59787); Novem-
ber 8, 2002 (67 FR 68038); and December 30, 2002 (67 FR
79808). On March 23, 2000, EPA promulgated standards for
new and existing sources at secondary aluminum production fa-
cilities. HAPs emitted by the affected facilities include organic
HAPs (including dioxins and furans), inorganic gaseous HAPs
(hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, and chlorine), and par-
ticulate metal HAPs. Emissions of other pollutants include par-
ticulate matter and volatile organic compounds. Secondary alu-
minum production facilities that are area sources are only subject
to limitations on emissions of dioxins and furans only.
As part of a settlement agreement with industry trade associa-
tions, the June 14, 2002 amendments were published as direct
final rules and clarified compliance dates and deferred certain
early compliance obligations. The compliance date for a newly
affected source (which is constructed or reconstructed at an ex-
isting aluminum die casting facility, aluminum foundry, or alu-
minum extrusion facility and that is subject to the rule) was de-
ferred until March 24, 2003 or upon startup, whichever is later.
The amendment also specified that the operation, maintenance,
and monitoring plan must be submitted no later than the compli-
ance date for existing sources, and 90 days after the initial per-
formance test for new sources. The amendments also required
the owner or operator to prepare a site-specific plan that meets
the requirements of 40 CFR 63, Subpart A, to obtain approval
of the plan, and conduct any performance test no later that the
compliance date for existing sources and within 90 days after the
compliance date stated in rule for new sources. The requirement
for notification of compliance status was revised to correspond
to the new dates specified in the amendments. The August 13,
2002 amendments withdrew the entire June 14, 2002 direct final
rule due to adverse comments on several of the provisions in the
direct final rule. Along with the direct final rules, EPA proposed
a parallel rule amendments on June 14, 2002, and adopted all
of the amendments as proposed on September 24, 2002.
The November 8, 2002 amendments corrected an error in the
effective date listed in the September 24, 2002 notice, changing
the effective date from November 25, 2002 to September 24,
2002.
The December 30, 2002 amendments revised the applicability
provisions for aluminum die casters, foundries, and extruders.
The amendments also added new provisions governing control
of commonly ducted units; revised the procedures for adoption of
operation, maintenance, and monitoring plans; revised the crite-
ria concerning testing of representative emissions units; revised
the standard for unvented in-line flux boxes; and clarified the con-
trol requirements for sidewall furnaces.
Section 113.780 - Petroleum Refineries: Catalytic Cracking
Units, Catalytic Reforming Units, and Sulfur Recovery Units (40
CFR 63, Subpart UUU)
The commission proposes new 113.780, which will incorpo-
rate by reference, without change, the final promulgated rules
in Subpart UUU adopted by the EPA on April 11, 2002 (67 FR
17762). This MACT standard affects sources at petroleum re-
fineries which include catalytic cracking units, catalytic reforming
units, and sulfur recovery units, as well as associated by-pass
lines. HAPs that are to be reduced by this final rule includeorganics (acetaldehyde, benzene, formaldehyde, hexane, phe-
nol, toluene, and xylene); reduced sulfur compounds (carbonyl
sulfide and carbon disulfide); inorganics (hydrogen chloride and
chlorine); and particulate metals (antimony, arsenic, beryllium,
cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, and nickel).
Section 113.790- Publicly Owned Treatment Works (40 CFR 63,
Subpart VVV)
The commission proposes to amend 113.790 by incorporating
by reference, without change, all amendments to Subpart VVV
made by the EPA since October 26, 1999. During this time frame,
Subpart VVV was amended on March 23, 2001 (66 FR 16140)
and October 21, 2002 (67 FR 64742). The March amendments
corrected grammatical, typographic, formatting, and cross-ref-
erence errors. Following this notice, the Pharmaceutical Re-
search and Manufacturers of America filed a petition for judicial
review. As part of the settlement agreement, the October 21,
2002 amendments rescinded the applicability provision speci-
fied in 40 CFR 63.1580(c); applied the same NESHAP require-
ments that apply to industrial publicly owned treatment works
(POTW) treatment plants that are major HAP sources to all in-
dustrial POTW treatment plants that are area HAP sources; and
exempted industrial POTW treatment plants that are area HAP
sources from the permit requirements in 42 USC, 7661a(a).
Section 113.810 - Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and
Silicomanganese (40 CFR 63, Subpart XXX)
The commission proposes to amend 113.810 by incorporating
by reference, without change, all amendments to Subpart XXX
made by the EPA since May 20, 1999. During this time frame,
Subpart XXX was amended on March 22, 2001 (66 FR 16007)
and established new emission limitations for ferromanganese
and silicomanganese production in open submerged arc fur-
naces. The amendments established four subcategories within
the category of furnaces and specified numerical emission
limitations for particulate matter for each, to account for differ-
ences in emission potential and control, furnace size, operating
conditions, and alloy type.
Section 113.840 - Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (40 CFR 63,
Subpart AAAA)
The commission proposes new 113.840, which will incorpo-
rate by reference, without change, the final promulgated rules
in Supbart AAAA adopted by the EPA on January 16, 2003 (68
FR 2227). This new MACT standard applies to new and exist-
ing municipal solid waste landfills that are major or area sources
of emissions. The HAP emissions from these landfills include,
but are not limited to, benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, and vinyl
chloride.
Section 113.860 - Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast (40 CFR
63, Subpart CCCC)
The commission proposes new 113.860, which will incorpo-
rate by reference, without change, the final promulgated rules
in Subpart CCCC adopted by the EPA on May 21, 2001 (66 FR
27876). This new MACT standard applies to process compo-
nents at new and existing major sources which are in the nutri-
tional yeast manufacturing source category. The EPA identified
this source category as a major source of HAP emissions of ac-
etaldehyde.

tion (40 CFR 63, Subpart GGGG)PROPOSED RULES April 4, 2003 28 TexReg 2897
