ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:

On October 22, 2012, the EPA
published a final rule in the Federal Register promulgating a Federal Implementation Plan FIP intended to address regional haze obligations for the Territory of the United States Virgin Islands. However, at that time EPA
erroneously failed to incorporate into the Code of Federal Regulations CFR
certain emission limits that had been determined to be necessary to satisfy those obligations and that had been proposed and included in the docket for the action. EPA is proposing to correct this inadvertent error by incorporating the previously noticed limits into the CFR. EPA is not reopening any of its previous determinations here.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA
published a final rule on October 22, 2012 77 FR 64414. In that document, EPA promulgated a Federal Implementation Plan FIP to address regional haze obligations for the Territory of the United States Virgin Islands. EPA determined that certain emission limits for sources of visibility impairing pollutants in the Virgin Islands were necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Clean Air Act and EPAs rules concerning making reasonable progress towards the national goal of preventing any future and remedying any existing man-made impairment of visibility in mandatory Class I areas also referred to as the regional haze program. In that action, however, EPA erroneously failed to
10227

incorporate into the Code of Federal Regulations those limits, which had been noticed in the proposed rule 77
FR 37842, June 25, 2012 and which were included in docket EPAR02
OAR20120457, accompanying that proposed rule.1 EPA determined in the 2012 final rule that those potential-toemit PTE limits constituted the bestavailable retrofit technology BART
emission limits for sources that had been determined to be subject-to-BART.
EPA is now proposing a technical correction to incorporate the table containing the PTE limits necessary to satisfy the Virgin Islands BART
obligation into the CFR.
While EPA would not ordinarily request comment on a technical correction of this nature, we are doing so here because under the circumstances we believe maximum transparency is in the public interest.
We are requesting comment on the narrow issue of whether the limits in the table that follows are the limits EPA
determined to be BART in the 2012
action. Comments received on any other issues, including other aspects of the 2012 final rule, will be deemed beyond the scope of this action. This proposed rule does not reopen the previous determination that the PTE limits contained in the docket for the 2012
final rule represent BART for the units determined to be subject-to-BART; this action merely corrects an inadvertent omission in a previous rulemaking. This proposal does not address current circumstances, but merely clarifies what was intended to be included in the CFR
pursuant to the 2012 FIP. The already approved BART limits are summarized in the following table:
