Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, Supplemental

Delegation of Authority to the Commonwealth of Kentucky

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Delegation of Authority.

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

SUMMARY: On February 17, 1993, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department

for Environmental Protection requested that EPA delegate authority for

implementation and enforcement of additional and revised categories of

New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Since EPA's review of

Kentucky's pertinent laws, rules, and regulations showed them to be

adequate for the implementation and enforcement of these federal

standards, the Agency has made the delegations as requested.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the delegation of authority is

June 22, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the request for delegation of authority and EPA's

letter of delegation are available for public inspection during normal

business hours at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, Air Programs Branch, 345

Courtland Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30365.

Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet, Department for

Environmental Protection, Division for Air Quality, 803 Schenkel Lane,

Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

All requests, applications, reports and other correspondence

required pursuant to the newly delegated standards should not be

submitted to the Regional IV office, but should instead be submitted to

the following address: Natural Resources and Environmental Protection

Cabinet, Department for Environmental Protection, Division for Air

Quality, 803 Schenkel Lane, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Southwick, Regulatory Planning

and Development Section, Air Programs Branch, United States

Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV, 345 Courtland Street NE,

Atlanta, Georgia, 30365, (404) 347-2864.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 301, in conjunction with Sections

110 and 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act as amended November 15, 1990,

authorizes EPA to delegate authority to implement and enforce the

standards set out in 40 CFR Part 60, NSPS.

On April 12, 1977, EPA initially delegated the authority for

implementation and enforcement of the NSPS programs to the Commonwealth

of Kentucky. On February 17, 1993, Kentucky requested a delegation of

authority for implementation and enforcement of the following NSPS

categories found in 40 CFR part 60.

New Categories for NSPS

1. Subpart Db--Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating

Units (except Secs. 60.44b(f), 60.44b(g), and 60.44b(a)(4)).

2. Subpart H--Sulfuric Acid Plants.

3. Subpart QQ--Graphics Arts Industry: Publication Rotogravure

Printing.

4. Subpart III--Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from the

Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Air Oxidation

Unit Processes (except Sec. 60.613(e)).

5. Subpart NNN--Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from

Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Distillation

Operations (except Sec. 60.663(e)).

6. Subpart QQQ--Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from

Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems.

7. Subpart SSS--Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (except

Secs. 60.711(a)(16), 60.713(b)(1)(i), 60.713(b)(1)(ii),

60.713(b)(5)(i), 60.713(d), 60.715(a), and 60.716)).

8. Subpart TTT--Industrial Surface Coating: Surface Coating of Plastic

Parts for Business Machines (except Secs. 60.723(b)(1),

60.723(b)(2)(i)(C), 60.723(b)(2)(iv), 60.724(e), and 60.725(b)).

9. Subpart VVV--Polymeric Coating of Supporting Substrates Facilities

(except Secs. 60.743(a)(3)(v) (A) and (B), 60.743(e), 60.745(a), and

60.746.

After a thorough review of the request, the Regional Administrator

determined that such a delegation was appropriate for these source

categories with the conditions set forth in the original delegation

letter of April 12, 1977. Kentucky sources subject to the requirements

of these subparts will not be under the jurisdiction of the

Commonwealth of Kentucky. On June 22, 1994, EPA delegated the authority

for the above mentioned source categories in a letter from Winston A.

Smith, Director, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics Management Division to

John E. Hornback, Director, Kentucky Division for Air Quality

Action

Since review of the pertinent Kentucky laws, rules, and regulations

showed them to be adequate for the implementation and enforcement of

the aforementioned categories of NSPS, the Commonwealth's request for

delegation was granted. The EPA hereby notifies the public that it has

delegated the authority for the source categories listed above (except

those sections, as noted, that may not be delegated).

The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the

requirements of Section 3 of Executive Order 12291. This notice is

issued under the authority of Sections 101, 110, 111, and 301 of the

Clean Air Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, 7410, 7411, 7412, and 7601).

Dated: June 30, 1994.

Patrick M. Tobin,

Acting Regional Administrator.
