          Subject: Environmental Protection Agency National Emission Standards for
                  Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating 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 (RIN: 2060-AP36). We received the rule on
          February 19, 2010. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on
          March 3, 2010. 75 Fed. Reg. 9648. The final rule is effective on May 3, 2010.

          The final rule promulgates national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants
          for existing stationary compression ignition reciprocating internal combustion
          engines that either are located at area sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions
          or that have a site rating of less than or equal to 500 brake horsepower and are
          located at major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions. The final rule also
          promulgates national air standards for hazardous air pollutants for existing non-
          emergency stationary compression ignition engines greater than 500 horsepower that
          are located at major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the EPA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review of the procedural steps taken indicates that EPA complied with the
          applicable requirements.
