Operating Permit Programs; Flexible Air Permitting Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are revising the regulations governing State and Federal
operating permit programs required by title V of the Clean Air Act (CAA
or the Act) to promote flexible air permitting (FAP) approaches that
provide greater operational flexibility and, at the same time, ensure
environmental protection and compliance with applicable laws.
The revisions to our title V regulations consist of adding
definitions for alternative operating scenario (AOS) and approved
replicable methodology (ARM) and codifying some clarifications to
existing provisions. These revisions are intended to clarify and
reaffirm opportunities for accessing operational flexibility under
existing regulations. We are not finalizing any revisions to our
existing minor or major New Source Review (NSR) regulations. In
particular, we are withdrawing that portion of the proposal which
relates to Green Groups and their potential inclusion in NSR programs
required by parts C and D of title I of the Act. Instead, we are
encouraging States and sources to investigate in more depth the
flexibilities currently available under the major NSR regulations.
DATES: This final rule is effective on November 5, 2009.

Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emissions
Guidelines for Existing Sources: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste
Incinerators
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 15, 1997, EPA adopted new source performance
standards (NSPS) and emissions guidelines (EG) for hospital/medical/
infectious waste incinerators (HMIWI). The NSPS and EG were established
under Sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). In a
response to a suit filed by the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources
Defense Council (Sierra Club), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit (the Court) remanded the HMIWI regulations
on March 2, 1999, for further explanation of EPA's reasoning in
determining the minimum regulatory ``floors'' for new and existing
HMIWI. The HMIWI regulations were not vacated and were fully
implemented by September 2002. On February 6, 2007, we published our
proposed response to the Court's remand. Following recent court
decisions and receipt of public comments regarding the proposal, we re-
assessed our response to the remand, and on December 1, 2008, we
published another proposed response and solicited public comments. This
action promulgates our response to the Court's remand and also
satisfies the CAA Section 129(a)(5) requirement to conduct a review of
the standards every 5 years.
DATES: The amendments to 40 CFR 60.32e, 60.33e, 60.36e, 60.37e, 60.38e,
60.39e, Table 1A and 1B to subpart Ce, and Tables 2A and 2B to subpart
Ce are effective as of December 7, 2009. The amendments to 40 CFR
60.17, 60.50c, 60.51c, 60.52c, 60.55c, 60.56c, 60.57c, 60.58c, and
Tables 1A and 1B to subpart Ec are effective as of April 6, 2010. The
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the
regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of
April 6, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0534 and Legacy Docket ID No. A-91-61. All
documents in the docket are listed on the http://www.regulations.gov
Web site. Although listed in the index, some information is not
