| 2012-10098 | Denial of Reconsideration Petitions on Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Sewage Sludge Incineration Units | Rule | The EPA is providing notice that it has denied two petitions for reconsideration of a final rule published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2011. The rule established new source performance standards and emission guidelines for sewage sludge incineration units located at wastewater treatment facilities designed to treat domestic sewage sludge, and was issued pursuant to the EPA's authority under Clean Air Act section 129 to regulate solid waste incineration units. After publication of the rule, the EPA received petitions for reconsideration of the final rule from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) (dated May 24, 2011) and the Sierra Club (dated May 20, 2011). After carefully considering the petitions and supporting information, in reaching a decision on the petitions, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson denied the petitions for reconsideration on April 6, 2012, in separate letters to the petitioners. EPA denied the petitions because they fail to meet the procedural test for reconsideration under CAA section 307(d)(7)(B), and/or are not of central relevance to the outcome of the rule, both of which are necessary conditions precedent to granting reconsideration. The letters explain in detail EPA's reasons for the denials. | 2012-04-27 | 2012 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/04/27/2012-10098/denial-of-reconsideration-petitions-on-standards-of-performance-for-new-stationary-sources-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-04-27/pdf/2012-10098.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is providing notice that it has denied two petitions for reconsideration of a final rule published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2011.
