Abstract
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking interim final action on technical corrections to three regulations recently finalized within "Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review," (hereafter "final rule"), published March 8, 2024. Following publication of the final rule, the EPA identified, through its own internal reassessment of the regulatory text, as well as through communications with stakeholders and the Office of Federal Register, erroneous cross-references and typographical errors within the regulatory text. Through those same processes, the EPA also identified the need for some minor wording changes to clarify erroneous language (or, in some cases, erroneous omissions) in the regulatory text and/or to ensure that the regulatory text aligns with the descriptions of the relevant provisions in the final rule preamble and other parts of the regulation(s). The corrections being made in this action are minor and non-substantive in nature and are being made to address inadvertent errors in the final rule. The EPA is requesting comments on all aspects of this interim final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking
interim final action on technical corrections to three regulations
recently finalized within ``Standards of Performance for New,
Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for
Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review,''
(hereafter ``final rule''), published March 8, 2024. Following
publication of the final rule, the EPA identified, through its own
internal reassessment of the regulatory text, as well as through
communications with stakeholders and the Office of Federal Register,
erroneous cross-references and typographical errors within the
regulatory text. Through those same processes, the EPA also identified
the need for some minor wording changes to clarify erroneous language
(or, in some cases, erroneous omissions) in the regulatory text and/or
to ensure that the regulatory text aligns with the descriptions of the
relevant provisions in the final rule preamble and other parts of the
regulation(s). The corrections being made in this action are minor and
non-substantive in nature and are being made to address inadvertent
errors in the final rule. The EPA is requesting comments on all aspects
of this interim final rule.
DATES: This rule is effective on August 1, 2024. Comments on this
interim final rule must be received on or before September 3, 2024.

final action may not be challenged separately in any civil or criminal
proceedings brought by the EPA to enforce the requirements.
II. Regulatory Revisions
A. Background and Summary
On November 15, 2021, the EPA published a proposed rule (November
2021 Proposal) to mitigate climate-destabilizing pollution and protect
human health by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) and volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from the oil and natural gas industry,\1\
specifically
[[Page 62874]]
the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category.<SUP>2 3</SUP> In the
November 2021 Proposal, the EPA proposed new standards of performance
under section 111(b) of the CAA for GHGs (in the form of methane
limitations) and VOC emissions from new, modified, and reconstructed
sources in this source category, as well as revisions to standards of
performance already codified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts OOOO and
OOOOa. The EPA also proposed EG under section 111(d) of the CAA for
GHGs emissions (in the form of methane limitations) from existing
sources (designated facilities).\4\ The EPA also proposed several
related actions stemming from the joint resolution of Congress, adopted
on June 30, 2021, under the Congressional Review Act (CRA),
disapproving the EPA's final rule titled, ``Oil and Natural Gas Sector:
Emission Standards for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources
Review,'' September 14, 2020 (2020 Policy Rule). Lastly, in the
November 2021 Proposal the EPA proposed a protocol under the general
provisions for optical gas imaging (OGI).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The EPA characterizes the oil and natural gas industry
operations as being generally composed of 4 segments: (1) Extraction
and production of crude oil and natural gas (``oil and natural gas
production''), (2) natural gas processing, (3) natural gas
transmission and storage, and (4) natural gas distribution.
\2\ ``Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and
Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil
and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review.'' Proposed rule. 86 FR 63110,
November 15, 2021.
\3\ The EPA defines the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source
category to mean: (1) crude oil production, which includes the well
and extends to the point of custody transfer to the crude oil
transmission pipeline or any other forms of transportation; and (2)
natural gas production, processing, transmission, and storage, which
include the well and extend to, but do not include, the local
distribution company custody transfer station, commonly referred to
as the ``city-gate.''
\4\ The term ``designated facility'' means ``any existing
facility which emits a designated pollutant and which would be
subject to a standard of performance for that pollutant if the
existing facility were an affected facility.'' See 40 CFR 60.21a(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 6, 2022, the EPA published a supplemental proposed rule
(``December 2022 Supplemental Proposal'') that was composed of 2 main
additions.\5\ First, the EPA updated, strengthened, and expanded on the
NSPS OOOOb standards proposed in November 2021 under CAA section 111(b)
for GHGs (in the form of methane limitations) and VOC emissions from
new, modified, and reconstructed facilities. Second, the EPA updated,
strengthened, and expanded the presumptive standards proposed for EG
OOOOc in the November 2021 Proposal as part of the CAA section 111(d)
EG for GHGs emissions (in the form of methane limitations) from
designated facilities. For purposes of EG OOOOc, the EPA also proposed
the implementation requirements for state plans developed to limit GHGs
pollution (in the form of methane limitations) from designated
facilities in the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category under CAA
section 111(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ ``Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and
Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil
and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review.'' Supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking. 87 FR 74702, December 6, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 8, 2024, at 89 FR 16820, the EPA published the final rule
with multiple actions to reduce air emissions from the Crude Oil and
Natural Gas source category. First, the EPA finalized an NSPS OOOOb
regulating GHG (in the form of a limitation on emissions of methane)
and VOCs emissions for the Crude Oil and Natural Gas source category
pursuant to CAA section 111(b)(1)(B). Second, the EPA finalized the
presumptive standards in EG OOOOc to limit GHGs. Third, the EPA
finalized several related actions (including final amendments to NSPS
OOOOa) stemming from the joint resolution of Congress, adopted on June
30, 2021, under the CRA, disapproving the 2020 Policy Rule. The final
rule became effective sixty days after publication, which was May 7,
2024.
As discussed in the summary of this preamble, after the publication
of the final rule, the EPA discovered, through its own internal
reassessment of the regulatory text, as well as through communications
with stakeholders and the Office of Federal Register, erroneous cross-
references and typographical errors within the regulatory text. Through
those same processes, the EPA also identified erroneous language in the
regulatory text (or in some cases, erroneous omissions) requiring minor
wording changes in order to conform with the final rule preamble and
other parts of the regulatory text. The technical corrections and
clarifications identified herein are being made to address such
unintended errors in the recently finalized regulations. The final rule
is extensive, covering many individual emissions sources at thousands
of facilities in the oil and natural gas industry across the country.
The EPA acknowledges the importance of finalizing these corrections to
the regulatory text as soon as possible so that the regulated community
can rely on regulatory text that is accurate and complete and avoid
confusion about how to comply with the final rule. This action
addresses the technical errors in the final rule identified to date by
stakeholders, the Office of the Federal Register, and the EPA. This
action does not attempt to address all issues identified by
stakeholders following the rules' promulgation. The EPA continues to
review other issues that have been brought to the Agency's attention
but are not addressed in this action. To the extent the EPA determines
that additional action is appropriate to address other post-
promulgation issues, we will initiate a separate rulemaking action. As
explained in further detail in sections II.B-D, and in section IV, the
EPA is taking this action as an interim final rule without prior
proposal and public comment because the EPA finds that this action
satisfies the good cause exemption from the notice and comment
rulemaking requirement of the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
B. Technical Corrections for NSPS OOOOa
Following signature of the final rule, we identified typographical
errors included in the amendments to NSPS OOOOa. This action corrects
those typographical errors, which are summarized below. In 40 CFR
60.5430a, the EPA identified a typographical error in the definition of
``Equipment.'' The final rule inadvertently excluded the word ``and''
between ``equipment leaks of GHG (in the form of methane)'' and
``VOC.'' This omission is clear from a plain reading of the text. This
technical error of omission is corrected in this action. In addition,
the EPA identified typographical errors in mathematical symbols used in
tables in both NSPS OOOOa and NSPS OOOOb. These mathematical symbol
errors are corrected by this action in both NSPS OOOOa and NSPS OOOOb.
In the amendments to NSPS OOOOa of the final rule, these errors were
identified in Table 1 to Subpart OOOOa of Part 60--Required Minimum
Initial sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) Emission Reduction Efficiency
(Z<INF>i</INF>) and Table 2 to Subpart OOOOa of Part 60--Required
Minimum SO<INF>2</INF> Emission Reduction Efficiency (Z<INF>c</INF>).
In NSPS OOOOb, these errors were identified in Table 3 to Subpart OOOOb
of Part 60--Required Minimum Initial SO<INF>2</INF> Emission Reduction
Efficiency (Z<INF>i</INF>) and Table 4 to Subpart OOOOb of Part 60--
Required Minimum SO<INF>2</INF> Emission Reduction Efficiency
(Z<INF>c</INF>). The inadvertent typographical errors therein are the
mathematical symbols ``<='' and ``>='' which were mistakenly included
in the final rule as ``<''and ``>''. These technical typographical
errors are corrected in this action. Note that the corrections to the
mathematical symbols in these tables parallel what is included in
similar tables in NSPS OOOO, which are correct. The substance of the
final rule remains unchanged by correcting these typographical errors.
Thus, the EPA finds good cause to make these
[[Page 62875]]
corrections to the final rule without prior notice or comment, as these
procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA section 553(b)(B). A
red line and strike-out version of the corrected regulatory language
for NSPS OOOOa amendment is available in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-
0317.
C. Technical Corrections for NSPS OOOOb
1. Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation, and Typographical Technical
Corrections
Following signature of the final rule, stakeholders and the Office
of the Federal Register brought to the Agency's attention, and the EPA
itself identified, inadvertent errors in the regulatory text of NSPS
OOOOb, including cross-reference, paragraph designation, and
typographical errors. Table 2 (Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation,
and Typographical Technical Corrections to 40 CFR part 60, subpart
OOOOb) includes the sections and paragraphs of each identified error,
the corrections being made by this action, and the reasoning for the
corrections. The substance of the final rule remains unchanged by
correcting these errors, which are technical in nature, and the EPA
therefore finds good cause to make these technical corrections to the
regulatory text of NSPS OOOOb, without prior notice and comment, as
these procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA section
553(b)(B).

2. Clarifying Technical Corrections
This action also makes technical corrections to clarify language in
the regulatory text that was erroneously included (or in some cases,
erroneously omitted). Table 3 (Clarifying Technical Corrections to 40
CFR part 60, subpart OOOOb) includes the sections and paragraphs of
each identified error, the corrections being made by this action, and
the reasoning for the corrections. These clarifying technical
corrections do not substantively alter the regulatory text in a way
that affects the regulated community or the public because they do not
change any substantive standard--they simply clarify erroneous language
and/or omissions. The substance of the final rule remains unchanged by
making these clarifying technical corrections and therefore, the EPA
finds good cause to make the clarifying technical corrections to the
regulatory text of NSPS OOOOb set forth in Table 3, without prior
notice and comment, as these procedures are unnecessary, in accordance
with APA section 553(b)(B).
Table 3--Clarifying Technical Corrections to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart
OOOOb
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clarifying technical correction and
Section and paragraph reason for change
------------------------------------------------------------------------
60.5371b(c)(4).................... Replace ``within 50 meters of the
latitude and longitude coordinates
of the super-emitter event.'' with
``within 50 meters of the latitude
and longitude coordinates of the
super-emitter event, if
available.'' to correct an
inadvertent omission. ``If
available'' is included on 89 FR
16880 in the Final Rule preamble
discussion of third-party
notifications that must be
submitted to the Super Emitter
Program Portal. This change is
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
60.5385b(d)(3).................... Remove ``initial'' before
``startup'' to be consistent with
other referencing in the Final Rule
and 89 FR 16896 of the Final Rule
preamble.
60.5386b(a)(1) introductory text.. Second sentence: Add ``or wet''
after ``dry'' to correct an
inadvertent omission. See 89 FR
17058, Sec. 60.5386b(a)
introductory text Final Rule
regulatory language which indicates
that requirements also apply to wet
seal compressors. This correction
is consistent with the cited Final
Rule regulatory language.
60.5398b(b)(5)(ii)(A)............. Revised to clarify that monitoring
surveys must be conducted for all
the fugitive emissions components
in an affected facility using
either OGI or EPA Method 21 to
appendix A-7 of this part; and that
the procedures in your monitoring
plan must be followed when
conducting the survey. These
revisions correct an inadvertent
omission of the specific survey
methods and procedures required.
See 89 FR 16874 Final Rule preamble
periodic screening discussion.
These clarifying correction are
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
60.5398b(b)(5)(iii)(A)............ Revised to clarify that monitoring
surveys must be conducted for all
fugitive emissions components
located within a 4-meter radius of
the location of the periodic
screening's confirmed detection
using either OGI or EPA Method 21
to appendix A-7 of part 60. These
revisions correct an inadvertent
omission of the specific survey
methods required. See 89 FR 16874
Final Rule preamble periodic
screening discussion. This
correction is consistent with the
Final Rule preamble discussion.
60.5398b(b)(5)(iv)(A)............. a. Delete ``the'' before ``all the
fugitive emissions'' in the first
sentence to omit an inadvertent
typographical error; and b. Add
``using either OGI or EPA Method 21
to appendix A-7 of this part''
after ``confirmed detection'' at
the end of the first sentence to
correct an inadvertent omission.
See 89 FR 16874 Final Rule preamble
periodic screening discussion. This
correction is consistent with the
Final Rule preamble discussion.
[[Page 62879]]
60.5400b(c)(1).................... Replace ``5 calendar days using the
methods'' with ``5 calendar days
using OGI in accordance with
Appendix K or the methods'' to
correct an inadvertent omission
that specifically clarifies that
screening using OGI in accordance
with Appendix K is an option,
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble. See 89 FR 16899 to 16900
Final Rule preamble discussion.
This correction is consistent with
the Final Rule preamble discussion.
60.5401b(h)(1).................... a. Add ``all connectors'' between
``and'' and ``in light'' to include
referencing consistency; and b. Add
the following sentence to clarify
what constitutes a leak for
connectors: ``If an instrument
reading greater than or equal to
500 ppmv is measured, a leak is
detected.'' These corrections
address inadvertent language/
omission errors. Change ``a.'' is
consistent with language at the
beginning of the sentence that
states ``monitor all connectors in
gas/vapor service'' (see 89 FR
17077). Change ``b.'' includes
language that indicates what
constitutes a leak based on Method
21, consistent with other
statements in the Final Rule
preamble and regulatory text (e.g.,
see 89 FR 17076).
60.5410b(c)(2)(i)................. Replace ``another well, and submit
this documentation in the initial
annual report'' with ``another
well, maintain the documentation in
accordance with Sec. 60.5377(g),
and submit this documentation in
the initial annual report as
required by paragraph (c)(4) of
this section'' to correct an
inadvertent cross-reference error
and omission of a cross-reference
to the requirement to maintain
documentation. See 89 FR 17084 for
the Final Rule regulatory text
requirements. These changes are
consistent with the Final Rule
regulatory text requirements.
60.5410b(c)(2)(ii)................ Replace ``(ii) Submit the
certification as required by Sec.
60.5377b(g)'' with ``(ii) Maintain
a copy of the certification and
submit the certification as
required by Sec. 60.5377b(g)'' to
correct the language to clarify
that an owner or operator needs to
maintain a copy of the
certification. See 89 FR 17084 for
the Final Rule regulatory text
These changes are consistent with
the Final Rule regulatory text.
60.5410b(d)(2).................... Replace ``closed vent system that
meets'' with ``closed vent system
to a process that meets'' in the
last sentence to clarify that
requirements apply when emissions
are routed to a process and to be
consistent with the second sentence
of the paragraph. See 89 FR 17084
for the Final Rule regulatory text.
This change is consistent with the
Final Rule regulatory text.
60.5410b(d)(6) introductory text.. Delete last sentence to correct an
inadvertent cross-reference error.
For clarity, rather than correct
reference to more broadly apply to
paragraph (a), sections (d)(6)(i)
through (iii) were revised to more-
specifically clarify requirements
for each of the three types of
centrifugal compressors. (See
below.) See 89 FR 16891 to 16892 of
the Final Rule preamble for a
discussion regarding centrifugal
compressor annual volumetric flow
measurement requirements. These
changes are consistent with the
Final Rule preamble discussion.
60.5410b(d)(6)(i)................. Add the following sentence to more-
specifically clarify and correct an
inadvertent omission of referencing
to the requirements that apply to
self-contained wet seal centrifugal
compressors: ``You must conduct
your initial annual volumetric
measurement as required by Sec.
60.5380b(a)(4).'' For clarity,
rather than correct reference to
more broadly apply to paragraph
(a), sections (d)(6)(i) through
(iii) were revised to more-
specifically clarify requirements
for each of the three types of
centrifugal compressors. See 89 FR
16891 to 16892 of the Final Rule
preamble for a discussion regarding
centrifugal compressor annual
volumetric flow measurement
requirements. These changes are
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
60.5410b(d)(6)(ii)................ Add the following sentence to more-
specifically clarify and correct an
inadvertent omission of referencing
to the requirements that apply to
centrifugal compressors on the
Alaska North Slope equipped with
sour seal oil separator and capture
systems: ``You must conduct your
initial annual volumetric
measurement as required by Sec.
60.5380b(a)(5).'' For clarity,
rather than correct reference to
more broadly apply to paragraph
(a), sections (d)(6)(i) through
(iii) were revised to more-
specifically clarify requirements
for each of the three types of
centrifugal compressors. See 89 FR
16891 to 16892 of the Final Rule
preamble for a discussion regarding
centrifugal compressor annual
volumetric flow measurement
requirements. These changes are
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
60.5410b(d)(6)(iii)............... a. Replace ``dry seal compressor''
with ``dry seal centrifugal
compressor'' for centrifugal
compressor referencing consistency;
and b. Add the following sentence
to more-specifically clarify and
correct an inadvertent omission of
referencing to the requirements
that apply to dry seal centrifugal
compressors: ``You must conduct
your initial annual volumetric
measurement as required by Sec.
60.5380b(a)(6).'' For clarity,
rather than correct reference to
more broadly apply to paragraph
(a), sections (d)(6)(i) through
(iii) were revised to more-
specifically clarify requirements
for each of the three types of
centrifugal compressors. See 89 FR
16891 to 16892 of the Final Rule
preamble for a discussion regarding
centrifugal compressor annual
volumetric flow measurement
requirements. These changes are
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
60.5412b(a) introductory text..... Second sentence: Replace ``As an
alternative to paragraphs (a)(1)
through (a)(3) of this section, you
may install a control device model
tested under Sec. 60.5413b(d)''
with ``As an alternative to
paragraph (a)(1) of this section,
you may install a combustion
control device model tested under
Sec. 60.5413b(d)'' to correct an
inadvertent omission that clarifies
that control device model test
requirements are for combustion
control device models. See 89 FR
17093 for combustion device model
testing regulatory text
requirements. This change is
consistent with the regulatory text
requirements.
60.5415b(d)(2).................... Revised paragraph to clarify the
volumetric monitoring compliance
options for each of the centrifugal
compressor types. Volumetric
monitoring requirements are the
same for all centrifugal
compressors and are repeated and
referenced under differing
subparagraphs of paragraph (a). See
89 FR 16891 to 16892 for a Final
Rule preamble discussion of
centrifugal compressor
requirements. These changes are
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
[[Page 62880]]
60.5415b(e)(1).................... Replace ``you must continuously''
with ``you must route emissions
through a closed vent system and
continuously'' to correct an
inadvertent omission and to clearly
state that routing emissions
through a closed vent system
``and'' complying with the
requisite closed vent system
requirements is required when
routing emissions to a process.
This change corrects an inadvertent
omission and is consistent with the
Final Rule regulatory text for
similar requirements (e.g., see 89
FR 17181, 17182, and 17184 for
similar requirements for liquids
unloading, associated gas,
centrifugal compressors, and
reciprocating compressors).
60.5415b(h)(1)(i)................. Replace ``must comply'' with ``must
route emissions through a closed
vent system and continuously
comply'' to correct an inadvertent
omission and to clearly state that
routing emissions through a closed
vent system ``and'' continuously
complying with the requisite closed
vent system requirements is
required when routing emissions to
a process. This change corrects an
inadvertent omission and is
consistent with the Final Rule
regulatory text for similar
requirements (e.g., see 89 FR
17181, 17182, and 17184 for similar
requirements for liquids unloading,
associated gas, centrifugal
compressors, and reciprocating
compressors).
60.5415b(h)(2).................... Replace ``must comply'' with ``must
route emissions to a control device
through a closed vent system and
continuously comply'' to correct an
inadvertent omission and to clearly
state that routing emissions
through a closed vent system
``and'' continuously complying with
the requisite closed vent system
requirements is required when
routing emissions to a control
device. This change corrects an
inadvertent omission. This change
corrects an inadvertent omission
and is consistent with the Final
Rule regulatory text for similar
requirements (e.g., see 89 FR
17181, 17182, and 17184 for similar
requirements for liquids unloading,
associated gas, centrifugal
compressors, and reciprocating
compressors).
60.5415b(i)(2)(iii)............... Replace ``4 tpy or greater and the
increase'' with ``4 tpy or greater
or methane emissions from your
storage vessel affected facility
increase to 14 tpy or greater and
the increase'' to correct an
inadvertent omission. See 89 FR
16896 to 16897 for a Final Rule
preamble discussion of storage
vessel requirements. This change is
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
Table 5 to Subpart OOOOb of Part Revise second sentence of
60--Applicability of General ``Explanation'' column by replacing
Provisions to Subpart OOOOb; ``Performance testing is required
General provisions citation Sec. for control devices used on storage
60.8. vessels, centrifugal compressors,
process controllers, and pumps
complying with Sec.
60.5393b(b)(1), except'' with
``Performance testing is required
for control devices used on wells,
storage vessels, centrifugal
compressors, reciprocating
compressors, process controllers,
and pumps, as applicable, except''
to correct inadvertent affected
facility omissions and to correct
the referencing for pumps to
exclude ``complying with Sec.
60.5393b(b)(1)'' to be consistent
with other emission source
referencing. These changes correct
the listing of affected facilities
where the Final Rule includes
control device performance testing
requirements to comply and to
clarify that the performance test
requirements apply conditionally
(i.e., performance test
requirements would not apply where
an affected facility complies with
the final rule by meeting a
compliance option that does not
require control device performance
testing).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPA finds good cause to make these technical corrections and
clarifications to NSPS OOOOb, identified above in Tables 2 and 3,
without prior notice and comment, as these procedures are unnecessary,
in accordance with APA section 553(b)(B).
A red line and strike-out version of the corrected regulatory
language for NSPS OOOOb is available in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-
0317.
D. Technical Corrections for EG OOOOc
1. Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation, and Typographical Technical
Corrections

of the Federal Register brought to the Agency's attention, and the EPA
itself identified, inadvertent errors, including cross-reference,
paragraph designation, and typographical errors, in the regulatory text
of NSPS OOOOc. Table 4 (Cross-Reference, Paragraph Designation, and
Typographical Technical Corrections to 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOc)
includes the sections and paragraphs of the identified errors, the
corrections being made, and the reasoning for the corrections. For the
same reasons explained in Section II.C.1 discussing such corrections
for NSPS OOOOb, the EPA finds good cause to make these technical
corrections to the regulatory text of EG OOOOc without prior notice and
comment, as these procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA
section 553(b)(B).

inadvertent cross-reference error.
60.5420c(c)(10)(v)................ In two places, replace ``Sec.
60.5415c(e)(x)'' with ``Sec.
60.5415c(e)(1)(x)'' to correct
inadvertent cross-referencing
errors.
60.5420c(c)(14) introductory text. Replace ``paragraphs (c)(14)(i)

correct an inadvertent cross-
reference error.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Clarifying Technical Corrections
This action also makes technical corrections to clarify language in
the regulatory text of EG OOOOc that was erroneously included (or in
some cases, erroneously omitted). Table 5 (Clarifying Technical
Corrections to 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOc) includes the sections and
paragraphs of the identified errors, the corrections being made, and
the reasoning for the corrections. For the same reasons explained in
Section II.C.2 discussing such corrections for NSPS OOOOb, the EPA
finds good cause to make these clarifying technical corrections to the
regulatory text of EG OOOOc, without prior notice and comment, as these
procedures are unnecessary, in accordance with APA section 553(b)(B).
Table 5--Clarifying Technical Corrections to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart
OOOOc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clarifying technical correction and
Section and paragraph reason for change
------------------------------------------------------------------------
60.5392c(a) introductory text..... Revise the first to eliminate
redundancy (dry seal compressor
requirements included in above
changes). See 89 FR 16892 to 16894
for the Final Rule preamble summary
of centrifugal compressor
requirements. These changes are
consistent with the Final Rule
preamble discussion.
60.5398c(b)(5)(ii)(A)............. Correcting for an inadvertent
omission and to clearly state the
required monitoring survey methods.
See 89 FR 16874 periodic screening
Final Rule preamble discussion.
This correction is consistent with
the Final Rule preamble discussion.
60.5398c(b)(5)(iii)(A)............ Replace ``You must conduct a
monitoring survey of all your
fugitive emissions components
located within a 4-meter radius of
the location of the periodic
screening's confirmed detection''
with ``You must conduct a
monitoring survey of all the
fugitive emissions components
located within a 4-meter radius of
the location of the periodic
screening's confirmed detection
using either OGI or EPA Method 21
to appendix A-7 of this part'' to
correct an inadvertent omission and
to clearly state the required
monitoring survey methods. See 89
FR 16874 periodic screening Final
Rule preamble discussion. This
correction is consistent with the
Final Rule preamble discussion.
60.5398c(b)(5)(iv)(A)............. Replace ``You must conduct a
monitoring survey of the all the
fugitive emissions components
located within a 1-meter radius of
the location of the periodic
screening's confirmed detection''
with ``You must conduct a
monitoring survey of all the
fugitive emissions components
located within a 1-meter radius of
the location of the periodic
screening's confirmed detection
using either OGI or EPA Method 21
to appendix A-7 of this part'' to
correct an inadvertent omission and
to clearly state the required
monitoring survey methods. See 89
FR 16874 periodic screening Final
Rule preamble discussion. This
correction is consistent with the
Final Rule preamble discussion.
[[Page 62886]]
60.5410c(c)(2).................... Replace ``Sec. 60.5411c(a) and
(c)'' with ``Sec. 60.5411c(a) and
(c) and is routed to a control
device or process'' to correct an
inadvertent omission to clarify
that emissions are routed to a
control device or process. This
change is also consistent with
paragraph (a)(5) of Sec. 60.5392c
of the Final Rule. See 89 FR 17150
for regulatory text.
60.5410c(d)(2).................... Replace ``rod packing emissions
collection system as required''
with ``rod packing emissions
collection system to a process as
required'' to correct an
inadvertent omission to clarify
that emissions from the rod packing
emissions collection system are
routed to a process. This change is
also consistent with paragraph
(d)(1) of Sec. 60.5393c of the
Final Rule. See 89 FR 17151 for
regulatory text.
60.5410c(f) introductory text..... Replace ``you must perform the
applicable compliance
demonstrations'' with ``you must
also perform the applicable
compliance demonstrations'' to
correct an inadvertent omission to
emphasize that performing
applicable compliance
demonstrations is ``also'' required
when there is a change in
compliance methods. This change
does not change the requirements
but adds emphasis that this is an
additional requirement when
changing compliance methods.
60.5410c(g) introductory text..... Second sentence: Replace ``meet the
exemption'' with ``meet and comply
with the exemption'' to correct an
inadvertent omission. This change
does not change requirements and is
consistent with the phrasing ``meet
and comply with the exception'' in
the same sentence of this
paragraph. See 89 FR 17172 for
regulatory text.
60.5410c(g)(14)................... Replace ``Sec. 60.5422c and the
annual reports in Sec.
60.5420c(b)(10)(i) through (iv), as
applicable'' with ``Sec.
60.5422c'' to reduce redundancy.
The reporting requirements included
in Sec. 60.5420c(b)(10) are
already cited in paragraph
(b)(11)(vi) of Sec. 60.5420c. See
89 FR 17172 for regulatory text.
60.5415c(c) introductory text..... Second sentence: Replace ``for each
wet seal and dry seal centrifugal
compressor designated facility
complying with Sec.
60.5392c(a)(3) and (a)(4) or'' with
``for each centrifugal compressor
designated facility complying with
Sec. 60.5392c(a)(3) and either
(a)(4) or'' to correct an
inadvertent technical error. See 89
FR 16892 to 16894 for a Final Rule
preamble discussion of centrifugal
compressor requirements. These
changes are consistent with the
Final Rule preamble discussion.
Paragraph (a)(4) specifies
requirements when routing emissions
to a control device is used to meet
the standard, and paragraph (a)(5)
specifies requirements when routing
emissions to a process is used to
meet the standard. See 89 FR 17150
for relevant Sec. 60.5392
regulatory text.
60.5417c introductory text........ Replace ``reciprocating compressor,
process controller, storage
vessel,'' with ``reciprocating
compressor, process controller,
pump, storage vessel,'' to correct
an inadvertent omission. This
change corrects the inadvertent
omission of the listing of ``pump''
designated facilities. Pump
designated facilities, as with the
other listed designated facilities
are also required to demonstrate
continuous compliance for each
control device used to meet
emission standards. See 89 FR 16883
to 16885 of the Final Rule preamble
for the preamble discussion of the
Final Rule requirements for pumps,
which includes an option to route
emissions to a control device.
60.5420c(b)(10) introductory text. Last sentence: Replace ``For each
centrifugal compressor and storage
vessel'' with ``For each
centrifugal compressor,
reciprocating compressor, and
storage vessel'' to correct an
inadvertent omission to clarify
that requirements also apply to
reciprocating compressors equipped
with a cover. This change is
consistent with Sec. 60.5411c
introductory text and paragraph (b)
of Sec. 60.5411c of the Final
Rule. See 89 FR 17173 for the Final
Rule Sec. 60.5411c regulatory
text. See also, the Final Rule
preamble discussion on the
requirements for reciprocating
compressors when routing emissions
from the rod packing to a process
or to a control device that reduces
emissions by 95 percent at 89 FR
16896.
Table 4 to Subpart OOOOc of Part Amend second sentence of
60--Applicability of General ``Explanation'' column by replacing
Provisions to Subpart OOOOc; ``Performance testing is required
General provisions citation Sec. for control devices used on storage
60.8. vessels, centrifugal compressors,
and pumps, except that performance
testing is not required for a
control device used solely on
pump(s).'' with ``Performance
testing is required for control
devices used on wells, storage
vessels, centrifugal compressors,
reciprocating compressors, process
controllers, and pumps, as
applicable, except that performance
testing is not required for a
control device used solely on
pump(s).'' These changes correct
the inadvertent omission of the
listing of some designated
facilities where the Final Rule
includes control device performance
testing requirements to comply and
to clarify that the performance
test requirements apply
conditionally (i.e., performance
test requirements would not apply
where a designated facility
complies with the Final Rule by
meeting a compliance option that
does not require control device
performance testing).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPA finds good cause to make these technical corrections and
clarifications to NSPS OOOOc, identified above in Tables 4 and 5,
without prior notice or comment, as these procedures are unnecessary,
in accordance with APA section 553(b)(B).
A red line and strike-out version of the corrected regulatory
language for NSPS OOOOc is available in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-
0317.
III. Summary of Cost, Environmental, and Economic Impacts
The technical corrections included in this action do not alter the
substantive requirements of the final rule, and will therefore have no
cost, environmental, energy, or economic impacts beyond those already
presented in the March 8, 2024, Standards of Performance for New,
Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for
Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review final rule
(89 FR 16820) and the accompanying Regulatory Impact Analysis.
IV. Rulemaking Procedures
As noted in section I.C., the EPA's authority for the rulemaking
procedures followed in this action is provided by APA section 553.\6\
In general, an agency issuing a rule under the procedures in APA
section 553 must provide prior notice and an opportunity for public
[[Page 62887]]
comment, but APA section 553(b)(B) includes an exemption from notice-
and-comment requirements ``when the Agency for good cause finds (and
incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons, therefore,
in the rule issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' The
EPA has determined that there is good cause to forego prior notice-and-
comment procedures here because such procedures are unnecessary. The
EPA is making only minor, non-substantive technical corrections and
clarifications in this action; providing the public with prior notice
and the opportunity for comment is unnecessary because these
corrections do not change any substantive requirement of the final
rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Although the procedural requirements of CAA section 307(d)
apply to the EPA's promulgation or revision of any standard of
performance under CAA section 111, these procedural requirements do
not apply ``in the case of any rule or circumstance referred to in
subparagraphs (A) or (B) of [APA section 553(b)].'' CAA section
307(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This action is effective immediately upon publication. Section
553(d)(3) of the APA requires publication of a final rule to precede
the effective date by at least 30 days unless, as relevant here, the
Agency finds good cause to make the rule effective sooner. The Agency
finds that there is good cause to make the rule effective immediately
upon publication under APA section 553(d)(3). See Omnipoint Corp. v.
Fed. Commc'n Comm'n, 78 F.3d 620, 630 (D.C. Cir. 1996) (in determining
whether good cause exists to make a rule immediately effective, an
agency should ``balance the necessity for immediate implementation
against principles of fundamental fairness which require that all
affected persons be afforded a reasonable amount of time to prepare for
the effective date of its ruling''). This action addresses erroneous
language (and in some cases, erroneous omissions) in the regulatory
text of the final rule which, if not corrected, will lead to compliance
difficulties and confusion among the regulated community about how to
comply with the final rule. As the final rule is already in effect, it
is critical to ensure that the regulated community and the public can
rely on regulatory text that is accurate and complete. Moreover,
because this action does not impose any new requirements, the regulated
community does not need time to prepare for this interim final rule to
come into effect.
V. Request for Comment
As explained in section IV of this document, the EPA finds good
cause to issue this interim final rule without prior notice or
opportunity for public comment. However, the EPA is providing an
opportunity for the public to comment on the content of the technical
corrections to the regulatory text being made by this action and, thus,
requests comment on the revisions described herein. The EPA is not
reopening for comment any provisions of the March 2024 final rule other
than the specific corrections made in this interim final rule.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at <a href="http://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders">http://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders</a>.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review, as Amended by
Executive Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in
Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094, and was
therefore not subject to a requirement for Executive Order 12866
review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA. The information collection activities for NSPS OOOOa,
NSPS OOOOb, EG OOOOc have been submitted for approval to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under the PRA. The ICR document that the
EPA prepared has been assigned OMB Control No. 2060-0721 and EPA ICR
number 2523.07. The final rule ICR has been submitted to OMB as of May
1, 2024, and is awaiting approval. You can find a copy of the
previously submitted ICR in EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317.
This action does not change the information collection
requirements.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This action is not subject to the RFA. The RFA applies only to
rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute.
This rule is not subject to notice and comment requirements because the
Agency has invoked the APA ``good cause'' exemption under 5 U.S.C.
553(b).
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more 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. This action corrects unintended errors in the March
2024 final rule.
E. 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.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have Tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action will implement corrections and
clarifications to regulatory text applicable directly to the regulated
industry that needed clarification or that were erroneously included in
the final rule. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045 directs federal agencies to include an
evaluation of the health and safety effects of the planned regulation
on children in Federal health and safety standards and explain why the
regulation is preferable to potentially effective and reasonably
feasible alternatives. This action is not subject to Executive Order
13045 because it is not a significant regulatory action under section
3(f)(1) of Executive Order 12866, and because the EPA does not believe
the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action
present a disproportionate risk to children. The EPA does not believe
there are disproportionate risks to children because of this action
since it will not result in any changes to the control of air
pollutants.
H. 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.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action does not involve technical standards; therefore, the
NTTAA does not apply.
[[Page 62888]]
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and
Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing our Nation's Commitment to
Environmental Justice for All
The EPA believes that this action does not concern human health or
environmental conditions and, therefore, cannot be evaluated with
respect to potentially disproportionate and adverse effects on
communities with environmental justice concerns.
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801-808, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. The CRA allows the issuing
agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the
CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and comment
rulemaking procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest (5 U.S.C. 808(2)). The EPA has made a good cause
finding for this action as discussed in section IV of this document,
including the basis for that finding.

(g), (h), and (i) to read as follows:
Sec. 60.5365b Am I subject to this subpart?
* * * * *
(e) Each storage vessel affected facility, which is a tank battery
that has the potential for emissions as specified in either paragraph
(e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section. A tank battery with the potential
for emissions below both of the thresholds specified in paragraphs
[[Page 62889]]
(e)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section is not a storage vessel affected
facility provided the owner/operator keeps records of the potential for
emissions calculation for the life of the storage vessel or until such
time the tank battery becomes a storage vessel affected facility
because the potential for emissions meets or exceeds either threshold
specified in either paragraph (e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section.
(1)(i) Potential for VOC emissions equal to or greater than 6 tons
per year (tpy) as determined in paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
(ii) Potential for methane emissions equal to or greater than 20
tpy as determined in paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
(2) The potential for VOC and methane emissions must be calculated
as the cumulative emissions from all storage vessels within the tank
battery as specified by the applicable requirements in paragraphs
(e)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section. The determination may take
into account requirements under a legally and practicably enforceable
limit in an operating permit or other requirement established under a
Federal, state, local, or Tribal authority.
(i) For purposes of determining the applicability of a storage
vessel tank battery as an affected facility, a legally and practicably
enforceable limit must include the elements provided in paragraphs
(e)(2)(i)(A) through (F) of this section.
(A) A quantitative production limit and quantitative operational
limit(s) for the equipment, or quantitative operational limits for the
equipment;
(B) An averaging time period for the production limit in
(e)(2)(i)(A) of this section, if a production-based limit is used, that
is equal to or less than 30 days;
(C) Established parametric limits for the production and/or
operational limit(s) in paragraph (e)(2)(i)(A) of this section, and
where a control device is used to achieve an operational limit, an
initial compliance demonstration (i.e., performance test) for the
control device that establishes the parametric limits;
(D) Ongoing monitoring of the parametric limits in (e)(2)(i)(C) of
this section that demonstrates continuous compliance with the
production and/or operational limit(s) in (e)(2)(i)(A) of this section;
(E) Recordkeeping by the owner or operator that demonstrates
continuous compliance with the limit(s) in (e)(2)(i)(A) through (D) of
this section; and
(F) Periodic reporting that demonstrates continuous compliance.
(ii) For each tank battery located at a well site or centralized
production facility, you must determine the potential for VOC and
methane emissions within 30 days after startup of production, or within
30 days after an action specified in paragraphs (e)(3)(i) and (ii) of
this section, except as provided in paragraph (e)(5)(iv) of this
section. The potential for VOC and methane emissions must be calculated
using a generally accepted model or calculation methodology that
accounts for flashing, working, and breathing losses, based on the
maximum average daily throughput to the tank battery determined for a
30-day period of production.
(iii) For each tank battery not located at a well site or
centralized production facility, including each tank battery located at
a compressor station or onshore natural gas processing plant, you must
determine the potential for VOC and methane emissions prior to startup
of the compressor station, onshore natural gas processing plant, or
other facility within 30 days after an action specified in paragraphs
(e)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section, using either method described in
paragraph (e)(2)(iii)(A) or (B) of this section.
(A) Determine the potential for VOC and methane emissions using a
generally accepted model or calculation methodology that accounts for
flashing, working and breathing losses and based on the throughput to
the tank battery established in a legally and practicably enforceable
limit in an operating permit or other requirement established under a
Federal, state, local, or Tribal authority; or
(B) Determine the potential for VOC and methane emissions using a
generally accepted model or calculation methodology that accounts for
flashing, working and breathing losses and based on projected maximum
average daily throughput. Maximum average daily throughput is
determined using a generally accepted engineering model (e.g.,
volumetric condensate rates from the tank battery based on the maximum
gas throughput capacity of each producing facility) to project the
maximum average daily throughput for the tank battery.
(3) For the purposes of Sec. 60.5395b, the following definitions
of ``reconstruction'' and ``modification'' apply for determining when
an existing tank battery becomes a storage vessel affected facility
under this subpart.
(i) ``Reconstruction'' of a tank battery occurs when the potential
for VOC or methane emissions to meet or exceed either of the thresholds
specified in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section and--
(A) At least half of the storage vessels are replaced in the
existing tank battery that consists of more than one storage vessel; or
(B) The provisions of Sec. 60.15 are met for the existing tank
battery.
(ii) ``Modification'' of a tank battery occurs when any of the
actions in paragraphs (e)(3)(ii)(A) through (D) of this section occurs
and the potential for VOC or methane emissions meet or exceed either of
the thresholds specified in paragraphs (e)(1)(i) or (ii) of this
section.
(A) A storage vessel is added to an existing tank battery;
(B) One or more storage vessels are replaced such that the
cumulative storage capacity of the existing tank battery increases;
(C) For tank batteries at well sites or centralized production
facilities, an existing tank battery receives additional crude oil,
condensate, intermediate hydrocarbons, or produced water throughput
from actions, including but not limited to, the addition of operations
or a production well, or changes to operations or a production well
(including hydraulic fracturing or refracturing of the well).
(D) For tank batteries not located at a well site or centralized
production facility, including each tank battery at compressor stations
or onshore natural gas processing plants, an existing tank battery
receives additional fluids which cumulatively exceed the throughput
used in the most recent (i.e., prior to an action in paragraphs
(e)(3)(ii)(A), (B) or (D) of this section) determination of the
potential for VOC or methane emissions.
(4) A storage vessel affected facility that subsequently has its
potential for VOC emissions decrease to less than 6 tpy shall remain an
affected facility under this subpart.
(5) For storage vessels not subject to a legally and practicably
enforceable limit in an operating permit or other requirement
established under Federal, state, local, or Tribal authority, any vapor
from the storage vessel that is recovered and routed to a process
through a vapor recovery unit designed and operated as specified in
this section is not required to be included in the determination of
potential for VOC or methane emissions for purposes of determining
affected facility status, provided you comply with the requirements of
paragraphs (e)(5)(i) through (iv) of this section.
(i) You meet the cover requirements specified in Sec. 60.5411b(b).
[[Page 62890]]
(ii) You meet the closed vent system requirements specified in
Sec. 60.5411b(a)(2) through (4) and (c).
(iii) You must maintain records that document compliance with
paragraphs (e)(5)(i) and (ii) of this section.
(iv) In the event of removal of apparatus that recovers and routes
vapor to a process, or operation that is inconsistent with the
conditions specified in paragraphs (e)(5)(i) and (ii) of this section,
you must determine the storage vessel's potential for VOC emissions
according to this section within 30 days of such removal or operation.
(6) The requirements of this paragraph (e)(6) apply to each storage
vessel affected facility immediately upon startup, startup of
production, or return to service. A storage vessel affected facility or
portion of a storage vessel affected facility that is reconnected to
the original source of liquids remains a storage vessel affected
facility subject to the same requirements that applied before being
removed from service. Any storage vessel that is used to replace a
storage vessel affected facility, or portion of a storage vessel
affected facility, or used to expand a storage vessel affected facility
assumes the affected facility status of the storage vessel affected
facility being replaced or expanded.
(7) A storage vessel with a capacity greater than 100,000 gallons
used to recycle water that has been passed through two stage separation
is not a storage vessel affected facility.

(g) Each sweetening unit affected facility as defined by paragraphs
(g)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Each sweetening unit that processes natural gas produced from
either onshore or offshore wells is an affected facility; and
(2) Each sweetening unit that processes natural gas followed by a
sulfur recovery unit is an affected facility.
(3) Facilities that have a design capacity less than 2 long tons
per day (LT/D) of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the acid gas (expressed as
sulfur) are required to comply with recordkeeping and reporting
requirements specified in Sec. 60.5423b(e) but are not required to
comply with Sec. Sec. 60.5405b through 60.5407b and Sec. Sec.
60.5410b(i) and 60.5415b(k).
(4) Sweetening facilities producing acid gas that is completely re-
injected into oil-or-gas-bearing geologic strata or that is otherwise
not released to the atmosphere are not subject to Sec. Sec. 60.5405b
through 60.5407b, 60.5410b(i), 60.5415b(k), and 60.5423b.
(h) Each pump affected facility, which is the colle
