National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the
Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
amend the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
the Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry. In the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are publishing a
direct final rule, without a prior proposed rule, that corrects an
inadvertent error and temporarily revises the testing and monitoring
requirements for hydrochloric acid (HCl) due to the current
unavailability of a calibration gas used for quality assurance
purposes. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further
action on this proposed rule.
DATES: Written comments must be received by August 24, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
[[Page 48373]]
OAR-2011-0817, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once
submitted, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. The EPA may publish
any comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically
any information you consider to be Confidential Business Information
(CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the Web, Cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why is the EPA issuing this proposed rule?
This document proposes to take action on amendments to the National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants for the Portland Cement
Manufacturing Industry. We have published a direct final rule to amend
40 CFR part 63, subpart LLL by correcting an inadvertent error and
revising the testing and monitoring requirements for HCl in the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we view this
as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct
final rule.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment on a distinct
portion of the direct final rule, we will withdraw that portion of the
rule and it will not take effect. In this instance, we would address
all public comments in any subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule.
If we receive adverse comment on a distinct provision of the direct
final rule, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register
indicating which provisions we are withdrawing. The provisions that are
not withdrawn will become effective on the date set out in the direct
final rule, notwithstanding adverse comment on any other provision. We
do not intend to institute a second comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
The regulatory text for this proposal is identical to that for the
direct final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register. For further supplementary information, the
detailed rationale for this proposal and the regulatory revisions, see
the direct final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this Federal Register.
