SUMMARY: On January 30, 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
finalized amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines
and the Standards of Performance for Stationary Internal Combustion
Engines. Subsequently, the EPA received three petitions for
reconsideration of the final rule. On September 5, 2013, the EPA
announced reconsideration of and requested public comment on three
issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration. A summary of the
public comments received on the September 5, 2013, notice of
reconsideration and the EPA's responses to those comments (Response to
Comment document) can be found in the rulemaking docket at Docket
Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0708. After careful consideration of the public
comments received on the September 5, 2013, notice, the EPA has
determined that it will not propose any changes to the regulations at
this time related to the three petition issues, and is providing notice
of this decision. The EPA is informing the petitioners of the decision
in separate letters to the petitioners. The letters explain the EPA's
reasons for not proposing changes to the regulations for those three
issues. Further discussion of the three petition issues can be found in
the Response to Comment document.
DATES: Effective August 15, 2014.
Any petitions for review of the letters announcing the EPA's
decision not to propose changes to the regulations in response to the
public comments received on the three issues under reconsideration
described in this Notice must be filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit by October 14, 2014.
