          Subject: Environmental Protection Agency: National Emission Standards for
                  Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines;
                  New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Internal Combustion
                  Engines

          Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), entitled
          National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal
          Combustion Engines; New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Internal
          Combustion Engines (RIN: 2060-AQ58). We received the rule on January 18,
          2013. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on January 30, 2013.
          78 Fed. Reg. 6674.

          The final rule amends the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants
          (NESHAP) for stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines. The final
          amendments include alternative testing options for certain large spark ignition (SI)
          (generally natural gas-fueled) stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines
          (RICE), management practices for a subset of existing spark ignition stationary
          reciprocating internal combustion engines in sparsely populated areas, and
          alternative monitoring and compliance options for the same engines in populated
          areas. EPA is establishing management practices for existing compression ignition
          (CI) engines on offshore vessels. EPA is also finalizing limits on the hours that
          stationary emergency engines may be used for emergency demand response and
