ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes amendments to the National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics 
Manufacturing. The proposed amendments are in response to a petition 
for reconsideration filed by industry stakeholders on the final rule 
promulgated on October 26, 2015, as well as our review of the 2015 rule 
with respect to other issues raised by stakeholders. This action 
proposes to revise the temperature monitoring methodology used to 
demonstrate continuous compliance with the dioxin/furan (D/F) emissions 
limit of the final rule. In addition, we are proposing to address 
concerns raised by industry stakeholders regarding visible emissions 
(VE) monitoring of tunnel kiln stacks for continuous compliance with 
particulate matter (PM) and mercury (Hg) emission limitations. This 
action also proposes to amend the requirements for weekly visual 
inspections of system ductwork and control device equipment for water 
curtain spray booths. Lastly, this action proposes to amend the NESHAP

A. Does this action apply to me?

    Table 1 of this preamble lists the NESHAP and associated regulated 
industrial source categories that are the subject of this proposal. 
Table 1 is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 
for readers regarding the entities that this proposed action is likely 
to affect. The proposed amendments, once promulgated, will be directly 
applicable to the affected sources. Federal, state, local, and tribal 
government entities would not be affected by this proposed action. As 
defined in the Initial List of Categories of Sources Under Section 
112(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (see 57 FR 31576, 
July 16, 1992) and Documentation for Developing the Initial Source 
Category List (see EPA-450/3-91-030), the Clay Products Manufacturing 
source category, as originally listed, included any facility engaged in 
manufacturing of clay products such as brick, vitrified clay pipe, 
structural clay tile, and clay refractories. The Clay Products 
Manufacturing source category has since been replaced by the Brick and 
Structural Clay Products (BSCP) Manufacturing source category and the 
Clay Ceramics Manufacturing source category (see 67 FR 47894, July 22, 
2002).

II. Background

A. What is the statutory authority for this action?

    The statutory authority for this action is provided by sections 112 
and 307(d)(7)(B) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended (42 U.S.C. 7412 
and 7607(d)(7)(B)).

B. What actions preceded these proposed amendments?

    The initial NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing was published in 
the Federal Register on May 16, 2003 (68 FR 26690), and codified at 40 
CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, pursuant to section 112 of the CAA. These 
standards were challenged and subsequently vacated by the United States 
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2007. See 
Sierra Club v. EPA, 479 F.3d 875, 876 (D.C. Cir. 2007). Following the 
2007 vacatur of the 2003 rule, the EPA collected additional data and 
information to support new standards for the clay ceramics industry. 
This information is contained in the docket at https://www.regulations.gov (see Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290). On 
December 18, 2014, the EPA proposed new NESHAP for Clay Ceramics 
Manufacturing (79 FR 75622). The EPA received additional data and 
comments during the public comment period. These data and comments were 
considered and analyzed and, where appropriate, revisions to the NESHAP 
were made. The NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing was finalized on 
October 26, 2015 (80 FR 65470).
    On December 23, 2015, Kohler Company (Kohler) petitioned the EPA 
for reconsideration of the final rule for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing 
(Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0316). In this action, we are 
proposing revisions to the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP based on 
information provided by Kohler in their petition, information collected 
by the EPA subsequent to the reconsideration request, and information 
collected by the EPA subsequent to our reconsideration request 
response. The intent of these proposed amendments is to provide some 
flexibility to the clay ceramics manufacturing industry, while 
maintaining the emissions and operational standards of the NESHAP.

III. Summary of the Proposed Amendments

    The EPA is proposing the following amendments to 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart KKKKK, in response to Kohler's petition for reconsideration on 
the October 26, 2016, final rule (80 FR 65470):
     Revise the temperature monitoring methodology used to 
demonstrate continuous compliance with the D/F emissions limits from 
sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns.
     Provide an alternative to the monitoring provisions for VE 
from tunnel kiln exhaust stacks.
     Amend the requirements for weekly visual inspections of 
system ductwork and control device equipment for water curtain spray 
booths.
     Define cooling stacks in the rule and differentiate 
cooling stacks from kiln exhaust stacks for compliance purposes.
     Include provisions to allow emissions averaging for 
emissions from existing tunnel kilns and glaze spray booths and make 
associated revisions to the definition of affected source and 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
    The rationale for these proposed amendments is provided in section 
IV of this preamble. This action is limited to the specific issues 
raised in the petition for reconsideration, plus some minor technical 
corrections. There are no changes to emission limits in the

[[Page 42069]]

October 2015 final rule as a result of these proposed amendments.

IV. Rationale for the Proposed Amendments

A. Temperature Monitoring of Tunnel Kilns

    The December 18, 2014, action proposed to require continuous 
monitoring of kiln temperature as a performance parameter for 
demonstrating compliance with the D/F emission limitations. In their 
public comments, Kohler indicated that the proposed temperature 
limitation failed to account for the normal temperature variations that 
occur during operation of a kiln. The October 26, 2015, final rule 
changed the performance parameter from a minimum kiln temperature 
operating limit to a maximum stack temperature operating limit. In our 
response to Kohler's December 23, 2015, petition for reconsideration, 
we indicated that we would grant reconsideration of the temperature 
monitoring requirement (Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0319).
    Subsequently, the EPA reviewed new data provided by Kohler 
regarding annual kiln operating temperatures (see Docket Item No. EPA-
HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0340). The data indicate that there is variability in 
kiln operating temperatures based on kiln load and other factors. 
During production of sanitaryware products, the tunnel kiln operating 
temperature is used as the primary operating parameter to maximize 
quality assurance of the product (minimal defects), while minimizing 
fuel usage. In addition, there are periods, based on the number of 
products being run through the kiln (kiln load), and the variation of 
types of products included in each load, where the temperature set 
point must be adjusted to control the ``heat work'' through the kiln. 
Heat work is defined as the temperature and time factors that allow the 
sanitaryware body and glaze coatings to sinter, melt, flow, and fuse. 
The adsorption rate of the fired product (porosity) is determined by 
the heat work (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0342).
    Based on this information gathered during our discussions with 
Kohler, we are proposing to amend the compliance demonstration 
requirements for sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns where no air 
pollution control devices are installed. In this scenario, we propose 
to require the affected sources to monitor kiln temperature during an 
initial D/F compliance test, consisting of three 4-hour test runs, for 
a total of 12 hours. From this 12-hour block of time, consisting of 1-
hour increments, the affected sources would calculate two values: (1) 
The standard deviation of the 12 1-hour temperature measurements, and 
(2) 1 percent of the 12-hour block average. The affected sources would 
determine which of the two values would provide the greatest 
variability (i.e., the highest value) and would then add this value to 
the 12-hour block average measured during the compliance test. This 
value would become the maximum temperature at which the kiln would be 
allowed to operate during normal operations. We are setting a maximum 
operating limit because, due to variability, kiln operating 
temperatures at sanitaryware facilities sometimes fall below the value 
observed during the compliance test. Temperatures have also been found 
to fall in the duct.
    Under this scenario, the affected sources would be required to 
monitor 12-hour averages of their kiln during normal operations and 
demonstrate compliance by comparing these 12-hour averages to the value 
calculated during the D/F compliance test. This should allow 
variability of the hourly temperature fluctuations as a 12-hour block 
average and, additionally, provide variability by having multiple 
options for calculating the kiln variability into the operating limit.
    In this proposed amendment to the rule, owners or operators would 
be required to maintain records of performance tests and continuous 
compliance data as is required in the October 2015 final rule and would 
be required to comply with the corresponding reporting requirements of 
the October 2015 final rule. Accordingly, in this action, the EPA is 
proposing to amend Table 2 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to include 
the revised operating limit, amend Table 4 to specify the requirements 
for establishing the operating limit during the D/F compliance test, 
and amend Tables 6 and 7 to specify the associated initial and 
continuous compliance requirements, respectively. These amendments to 
the rule only apply to sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns. The D/F 
compliance requirements of all other emission sources regulated by the 
rule remain unchanged.
    We are also requesting comment on whether to consider an 
alternative temperature monitoring requirement. Similar to the previous 
scenario, the affected sources would monitor kiln temperature during 
the initial D/F compliance test, calculate both the standard deviation 
of the 12 1-hour temperature measurements and 1 percent of the 12-hour 
block average, and decide which of the two values would provide the 
greatest variability (i.e., the highest value). However, this second 
scenario has the affected sources subtract this value from the 12-hour 
block average measured during the compliance test to determine the 
minimum temperature at which the kiln would be allowed to operate 
during normal operations. Similar to the previous scenario, this 
alternative would require the affected sources to monitor 12-hour 
averages of their kiln during normal operations and demonstrate 
compliance by comparing these 12-hour averages to the value calculated 
during the D/F compliance test.
    The proposed amendments do not change the requirement for affected 
facilities operating sanitaryware first-fire tunnel kilns to 
demonstrate compliance with the D/F emission limit through repeat 5-
year stack testing. The proposed amendments to the rule provide 
affected facilities without air pollution control devices with a 
revised means to demonstrate continuous compliance at all times, 
including those times where facilities must adjust kiln temperatures to 
control the heat work through the kiln. If an affected facility 
determines through continuous kiln temperature monitoring that they 
cannot demonstrate compliance using the method proposed, they would be 
required to maintain kiln temperatures that demonstrate compliance 
until such time that additional stack testing could be performed and a 
new temperature threshold determined.

B. Visible Emissions Monitoring of Tunnel Kiln Exhaust

    In its petition for reconsideration, Kohler explained the basis for 
its position that VE monitoring is not a useful parameter to assess 
kiln operations. In addition, Kohler explained that process errors that 
would potentially lead to an increase in VE from a kiln would more 
readily be identified through one of multiple parameters monitored 
continuously by the kiln operator. In our response to this request, we 
indicated that, although we were denying the reconsideration request on 
this issue, we would evaluate any additional information provided by 
Kohler and determine whether any further action would be warranted (see 
Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0319).
    In a subsequent meeting, the EPA and Kohler discussed alternatives 
to the VE testing requirement in the final rule. The information 
provided by Kohler (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0339) 
supports the

[[Page 42070]]

conclusion that monitoring kiln temperature is a more accurate and 
sensitive parameter in determining times when the PM emissions may be 
increased, rather than periodically monitoring VE from the kiln stack. 
As a result, the EPA is proposing to include an alternative that would 
require the source to first take the necessary steps to maintain the 
temperature profile of each tunnel kiln. For any incidence where a kiln 
exceeds its normal operating temperature profile, the source would then 
be required to perform VE observations at the stack of the affected 
kiln according to the procedures of EPA Method 22. Accordingly, in this 
action, the EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR 63.8620(e) to include 
revised procedures for demonstrating continuous compliance to include 
the requirement for facilities to maintain normal kiln temperature, and 
only perform VE observations when the kiln temperatures are sporadic or 
out of the normal range of operation. Additionally, the EPA is 
proposing to amend Tables 2 and 7 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to 
specify the operating limits and continuous compliance requirements, 
respectively.

C. Weekly Visual Inspections of Water Curtain Spray Booths

    Regarding the issue of visual inspections for system ductwork and 
control device equipment for water curtain spray booths, Kohler and the 
EPA have discussed the weekly inspection requirement. Kohler 
representatives explained that current maintenance procedures eliminate 
the need for the weekly inspections. Kohler's operators routinely 
conduct preventative maintenance on the water curtain control, such as 
regular periodic fan maintenance, as well as a weekly wash-out. They 
also explained how their current procedures ensure that they become 
aware in a relatively short period of time if there is an issue with 
the water curtain or the ductwork, as they can see if particulates or 
other impurities are getting into the glaze that has been sprayed onto 
a piece of ware. If this were to occur, the operator would stop the 
glazing operations to fix the issue. Kohler provided the EPA additional 
information about the quarterly preventative maintenance that they 
conduct, available in Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0331. Kohler 
also indicated that ductwork inspections do not have any value, since 
the water is the control, and, therefore, any air in the ductwork is 
already controlled (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0336).
    During several visits to the Kohler facility in Spartanburg, South 
Carolina (see Docket Item Nos. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0005, 0331, and 
0341), the EPA observed the configuration of a typical spray booth, and 
the ductwork associated with the booth. From the observations, it was 
apparent that the booth operator would indeed be able to see if 
particulates or other impurities were getting into the glaze that has 
been sprayed onto a piece of ware, and that the requirement for weekly 
inspections would not be required based on the configuration of the 
booth.
    Based on its evaluation of the additional data, and after observing 
the water curtain spray booth operations at the Kohler facility in 
Spartanburg, South Carolina, the EPA is proposing to remove the weekly 
visual inspection requirement from the rule but retain the other two 
monitoring requirements (daily inspections to verify the presence of 
water flow to the wet control system and annual inspections of the 
interior of the control equipment). Accordingly, in this action, the 
EPA is proposing to amend Table 2 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to 
remove the weekly visual inspections part of the operating limit for 
glaze spray operations equipped with a water curtain and amend Table 7 
to remove the associated continuous compliance requirement.

D. Cooling Stacks

    In its response to Kohler's petition that cooling stacks to be 
tested at sanitaryware manufacturing facilities should be limited to 
those with an oxygen content at or below 20.4 percent, the EPA noted 
that the value of 20.5 percent that the EPA finalized was based on the 
20.5 percent threshold concentration provided by Kohler in an email to 
the EPA clarifying its testing proposal, and this email was present in 
the docket at proposal (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0119). 
At the time, the EPA concluded that a reconsideration on this issue was 
not warranted pursuant to CAA section 307(d)(7)(B) and denied the 
reconsideration petition on this issue. Notwithstanding this denial, 
the EPA stated that it would evaluate any additional information 
provided by the petitioner and determine whether any further action is 
warranted (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0319).
    In a subsequent meeting, Kohler and the EPA discussed Kohler's 
request to revise this aspect of the rule and options for any such 
revision, which included changing the oxygen content in the Clay 
Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP from 20.5 percent to 20.4 percent or 
adding a definition for ``cooling stack'' that would exclude it from 
applicability (see Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0290-0331). As a 
result of this and later contacts (see Docket Item Nos. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2013-0290-0335 through 0338), the EPA has a better understanding of the 
purpose and operations of the cooling stacks. Based on this additional 
knowledge, the EPA is proposing to revise 40 CFR 63.8595(c) to 
specifically exclude cooling stacks from stack testing at sanitaryware 
manufacturing facilities, revise 40 CFR 63.8665 to include a definition 
for ``cooling stack'' and, for additional clarity, include a definition 
for ``products of combustion (POC) stack,'' which is the type of stack 
that would be tested.

E. Emissions Averaging

    In its petition for reconsideration, Kohler requested that the EPA 
allow the use of emissions averaging as a compliance option in the Clay 
Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP for existing tunnel kilns and glaze spray 
booths. Initially, in the December 18, 2014, proposed rule (79 FR 
75649), the EPA had requested public comment on the use of emissions 
averaging in the BSCP Manufacturing NESHAP. In that 2014 proposal, we 
also noted that emissions averaging would not be applicable to new 
sources and could only be used between existing tunnel kilns in the 
same size subcategory (79 FR 75649). In this action, we are proposing 
amendments to 40 CFR 63.8595 in the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP 
that would include alternative emissions averaging limits for the 
following:
     PM and Hg, in units of pounds per ton (lb/ton) of fired 
product for existing floor tile roller kilns;
     PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of fired product for 
existing wall tile roller kilns;
     PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of greenware fired for 
existing first-fired sanitaryware tunnel kilns;
     PM and Hg, in units of lb/ton of first-fired glaze sprayed 
(dry weight basis) for existing tile glaze lines with glaze spraying; 
and
     PM, in units of lb/ton of first-fire glaze sprayed (dry 
weight basis), for existing sanitaryware manual, spray machine, or 
robot glaze applications.
    As stated in the December 18, 2014, proposed rule, the EPA has 
concluded that it is permissible under the appropriate circumstances to 
establish within a NESHAP a unified compliance regimen that permits 
averaging within an affected source across individual affected units 
subject to the standard

[[Page 42071]]

under certain conditions (79 FR 75650). In addition, averaging across 
affected units is permitted only if it can be demonstrated that the 
total quantity of any hazardous air pollutant (HAP) will not be greater 
under the averaging mechanism than it could be if each individual 
affected unit complied separately with the applicable standard. The 
conditions required for emissions averaging include: (1) No averaging 
between different types of pollutants; (2) no averaging between sources 
that are not part of the same affected source; (3) no averaging between 
individual sources within a single major source if the individual 
sources are not subject to the same NESHAP; and (4) no averaging 
between existing sources and new sources.
    In this action, we are proposing that emissions averaging would be 
allowed if they meet the following requirements. First, emissions 
averaging would only be permitted between individual sources at a 
single existing affected source and would only be permitted between 
individual sources subject to the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing NESHAP. 
Further, emissions averaging would not be permitted between two or more 
different affected sources or between two or more sources in different 
subcategories. Finally, new sources could not use emissions averaging. 
In addition, we are proposing that any emissions averaging alternative 
would require each facility that intends to use emissions averaging to 
submit an emissions averaging plan, which will provide additional 
assurance that the necessary criteria will be followed. In such an 
emissions averaging plan, the facility would include the identification 
of: (1) All units in the averaging group, (2) the control technology 
installed, (3) the process parameter that will be monitored, (4) the 
specific control technology or pollution prevention measure to be used, 
(5) the test plan for the measurement of the HAP being averaged, and 
(6) the operating parameters to be monitored for each control device.
    Under the proposed emissions averaging provision, the emissions for 
each unit in the averaging group would be capped at the emission level 
being achieved on the effective date of the final rule. The caps ensure 
that emissions do not increase above the emission levels that sources 
currently are designed, operated, and maintained to achieve. In the 
absence of performance tests, in documenting these caps, the affected 
sources would document the type, design, and operating specification of 
control devices installed on the effective date of the final rule to 
ensure that existing controls are not removed or operated less 
efficiently. The proposed emissions averaging provision would not apply 
to individual units if the unit shares a common stack with units in 
other subcategories, because, in that circumstance, it is not possible 
to distinguish the emissions from each individual unit.
    For those cases where the emissions averaging provisions are used, 
the EPA is proposing to add a definition for ``emissions averaging 
sources'' in 40 CFR 63.8665 that includes those existing sources 
included in the emissions average. The EPA is also proposing to amend 
Table 1 to 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK, to include the applicable 
emission limits determined under the emissions averaging provisions. In 
addition, the EPA is proposing to revise the reporting and 
recordkeeping provisions in 40 CFR 63.8630, 63.8635, and 63.8640 to 
include the following requirements where the emissions averaging 
provisions are used: (1) Certifying in the notification of compliance 
status that the emissions level achieved or the control technology 
employed is no less stringent than the level or control technology 
contained in the notification; (2) reporting in the compliance report 
the emissions level that was being achieved or the control technology 
employed on the effective date of the rule; and (3) keeping a copy of 
the emissions averaging implementation plan, all required calculations, 
including monthly records of process rate, as applicable, and 
monitoring records.
    The emissions averaging provisions that we are proposing are based 
in part on the emissions averaging provisions in the Hazardous Organic 
NESHAP (HON). The legal basis and rationale for the HON emissions 
averaging provisions were provided in the preamble to the final HON (59 
FR 19425, April 22, 1994).

F. Technical Corrections

    Technical corrections are being proposed to correct inaccuracies 
that were promulgated in the final rule, replace text that might be 
considered confusing, and correct outdated information. We are 
soliciting comment only on whether the proposed changes provide the 
intended accuracy, clarity, and consistency. These proposed changes are 
described in Table 2 of this preamble and shown in the proposed 
regulatory text below. We request comment on all of these proposed 
changes.

V. Summary of Cost, Environmental, and Economic Impacts

    This action will have no cost, environmental, energy, or economic 
impacts beyond those impacts presented in the October 26, 2015, final 
rule for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing and may result in a cost savings 
due to the changes in monitoring and testing requirements discussed in 
the previous section. The technical corrections are cost neutral.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was, 
therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling 
Regulatory Costs

    This action is considered an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory 
action. The proposed rule is expected to provide meaningful burden 
reduction by deregulating aspects of the sanitaryware manufacturing 
process, but do not result in changes in costs to comply.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden 
under the PRA. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). OMB has previously 
approved the information collection activities contained in the 
existing regulation (40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK) and has assigned 
OMB control number 2060-0513. This action does not change the 
information collection requirements.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In 
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant 
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no 
net burden, or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small 
entities subject to the rule. This proposed rule will not impose any 
additional requirements on small entities, only alternatives to 
existing requirements. We have, therefore, concluded that this action 
will have no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated small 
entities.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain an unfunded mandate as described in 
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect 
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state, 
local, or tribal governments or the private sector.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have 
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between 
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13175. It will neither impose substantial direct 
compliance costs on federally recognized tribal governments, nor 
preempt tribal law. The proposed amendments impose no requirements on 
tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this 
action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those 
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks 
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect 
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in 
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to 
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental 
health risk or safety risk.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is 
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    The EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately 
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority 
populations, low-income populations, and/or indigenous peoples, as 
specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). The 
documentation for this decision is contained in the docket (See ``EJ 
Screening Report for Clay Ceramics,'' Docket Item No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-
0290-0241).

Sec.  63.8595  How do I conduct performance tests and establish 
operating limits?

* * * * *
    (c) Each performance test must be conducted according to the 
requirements in Sec.  63.7 and under the specific conditions in Table 4 
to this subpart. Stacks to be tested at sanitaryware manufacturing 
facilities shall be limited to products of

[[Page 42073]]

combustion (POC) stacks and not include cooling stacks.
* * * * *
    (h)(1) As an alternative to meeting the requirements of Sec.  
63.8555 for PM or mercury, if you have more than one existing source in 
any subcategories located at your facility, you may demonstrate 
compliance by emissions averaging, if your averaged emissions are not 
more than 90 percent of the applicable emission limit, according to the 
procedures in this section. You may not include new sources in an 
emissions average.
    (2) For a group of two or more existing sources in the same 
subcategory that each vent to a separate stack, you may average PM or 
mercury emissions among existing units to demonstrate compliance with 
the limits in Table 1 to this subpart as specified in paragraph 
(h)(2)(i) through (iv) of this section, if you satisfy the requirements 
in paragraphs (h)(3) and (4) of this section.
    (i) You may average across existing sources in the same kiln type 
and size category (e.g., roller or tunnel kilns, large or small kilns) 
and the same subcategory (e.g., sanitaryware manual or spray machine or 
robot glaze application) where applicable;
    (ii) You may not include a unit in the emissions average if the 
unit shares a common stack with units in other subcategories;
    (iii) You may not include spray dryers or press dryers in the 
emissions average; and
    (iv) You may not average between different types of pollutants.
    (3) The averaged emissions rate from the existing sources 
participating in the emissions averaging option must not exceed 90 
percent of the limits in Table 1 to this subpart at all times the 
affected units are subject to numeric emission limits following the 
compliance date specified in Sec.  63.8545.
    (4)(i) You must demonstrate initial compliance using the maximum 
process rate and the results of the initial performance tests.
    (ii) You must use Equation 9 to demonstrate that the PM or mercury 
emissions from all existing units participating in the emissions 
averaging option for that pollutant do not exceed the emission limits 
in Table 1 to this subpart.

Sec.  63.8620  How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the 
emission limitations and work practice standards?

* * * * *
    (e)(1) VE testing. You must demonstrate continuous compliance with 
the operating limits in Table 2 to this subpart for visible emissions 
(VE) from tunnel or roller kilns that are uncontrolled or equipped with 
DIFF, DLS/FF, or other dry control device by monitoring VE at each kiln 
stack according to the requirements in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) through 
(iii) of this section.
* * * * *
    (2) Alternative to VE testing. You must demonstrate continuous 
compliance with the operating limits in Table 2 to this subpart for 
kiln temperature profile for tunnel or roller kilns that are 
uncontrolled or equipped with DIFF, DLS/FF, or other dry control device 
by maintaining the kiln temperature profile within acceptable 
parameters and, for any incidence where the kiln is out of control 
(i.e., exceeds its temperature profile), monitoring VE at each kiln 
stack according to the requirements in paragraphs (e)(2)(i) through 
(iii) of this section.
    (i) Perform VE observations at the stack of each out-of-control 
kiln according to the procedures of Method 22 of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-7. The duration of each Method 22 test must be at least 15 
minutes.
    (ii) If VE are observed during any test conducted using Method 22 
of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, you must promptly initiate and 
complete corrective actions according to your OM&M plan.
    (iii) If VE are observed during any test conducted using Method 22 
of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, you must report these deviations by 
following the requirements in Sec.  63.8635.
    (f) Following the compliance date, you must demonstrate compliance 
with the emissions averaging provision under this subpart on a 
continuous basis by meeting the requirements of paragraphs (f)(1) and 
(2) of this section.
    (1) For each calendar month, demonstrate compliance with the 
average weighted emissions limit for the existing units participating 
in the emissions averaging option as determined in Sec.  63.8595(h)(5) 
and (6).
    (2) For each existing unit participating in the emissions averaging 
option, you must comply with the continuous compliance requirements in 
Table 7 to this subpart.
    (g) Any instance where you fail to comply with the continuous 
monitoring requirements in paragraphs (f)(1) and (2) of this section is 
a deviation.
