Abstract: The EPA is proposing specific amendments to the 40 CFR part 63 General Provisions NESHAP and to the rule establishing requirements for case-by-case determinations under CAA section 112(j). The EPA is proposing to establish a new timetable for the submission of section 112(j) Part 2 applications which is derived from our agreed timetable for promulgation of the remaining NESHAP. This new timetable for Part 2 applications is intended both to avoid the expenditure of unnecessary resources by affected sources and permitting authorities, and to create new incentives for prompt completion of the remaining standards. EPA is also proposing to make several changes in the section of the General Provisions rule that establishes general procedures for preparation, maintenance, and periodic revision of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plans. These amendments are being proposed pursuant to a settlement agreement concerning a petition for judicial review of the prior amendments to these rules published on April 5, 2002. This file is the text of the proposed rule. |
