Subject: AIR - PR. EPA. Standards of Performance for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants

[Proposed Rules]              
[Page 25303-25327]

40 CFR Part 60

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0260; FRL-8908-7]
RIN 2060-AO57

Standards of Performance for Coal Preparation and Processing
Plants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Supplemental proposal.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a supplemental action to the proposed
amendments to the new source performance standards for coal preparation
and processing plants published on April 28, 2008. The 2008 proposal,
among other things, proposed to revise the particulate matter and
opacity standards for thermal dryers, pneumatic coal cleaning
equipment, and coal handling equipment located at coal preparation and
processing plants. This supplemental action proposes to revise the
particulate matter emissions and opacity limits included in the
original proposal for thermal dryers, pneumatic coal-cleaning
equipment, and coal handling equipment. It also proposes to expand the
applicability of the thermal dryer standards so that the proposed
standards for thermal dryers would apply to both direct contact and
indirect contact thermal dryers drying all coal ranks and pneumatic
coal-cleaning equipment cleaning all coal ranks. In addition, it
proposes to establish a sulfur dioxide emission limit and a combined
nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions limit for thermal dryers.
We are also proposing to amend the definition of coal for purposes of
subpart Y to include petroleum coke and coal refuse. Finally, it
proposes to establish work practice standards to control coal dust
emissions from open storage piles and roadways associated with coal
preparation and processing plants.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before July 13, 2009.
If anyone contacts EPA by June 8, 2009 requesting to speak at a public
hearing, EPA will hold a public hearing on June 11, 2009. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act, comments on the information collection
provisions must be received by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) on or before June 26, 2009.
    Because, under the terms of a consent decree, the final action must
be signed not later than September 26, 2009, EPA will not grant
requests for extensions beyond these dates.
