National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing

Thu, Dec 11 2003 11:00:00 GMT

This action promulgates national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for miscellaneous coating manufacturing facilities. The final rule establishes emission limits and work practice requirements for new and existing miscellaneous coating manufacturing operations, including process vessels, storage tanks, wastewater, transfer operations, equipment leaks, and heat exchange systems, and implements section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by requiring all major sources to meet hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emission standards reflecting application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The HAP emitted from miscellaneous coating manufacturing facilities include toluene, xylene, glycol ethers, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone. Exposure to these substances has been demonstrated to cause adverse health effects such as irritation of the lung, eye, and mucous membranes, effects on the central nervous system, and cancer. We do not have the type of curren

New Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation of Authority

Thu, Dec 11 2003 11:00:00 GMT

The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) has submitted updated regulations for receiving delegation of EPA authority for implementation and enforcement of New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for all sources (both part 70 and nonpart 70 sources). These regulations apply to certain NSPS promulgated by EPA, as amended through September 1, 2002, and certain NESHAPs promulgated by EPA, as amended through September 1, 2001 and September 1, 2002. The delegation of authority under this notice does not apply to sources located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, or sources located in Indian Country. EPA is providing notice that it has approved delegation of certain NSPS to NMED, and taking direct final action to approve the delegation of certain NESHAPs to NMED.

The states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and the local agencies of LincolnLancaster County, Nebraska, and city of Omaha, Nebraska, have submitted updated regulations for delegation of EPA authority for implementation and enforcement of NSPS, NESHAP, and MACT. The submissions cover new EPA standards and, in some instances, revisions to standards previously delegated. EPA's review of the pertinent regulations shows that they contain adequate and effective procedures for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal standards. This action informs the public of delegations to the above mentioned agencies.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Indiana; Oxides of Nitrogen Regulations

Thu, Dec 11 2003 11:00:00 GMT

EPA is approving revisions to the oxides of nitrogen (NOX) budget trading program submitted by Indiana on June 26, 2003, and August 4, 2003. These changes revise Indiana's NOX State Implementation Plan (SIP) and NOX budget approved by EPA on November 8, 2001. The most significant change adds 17 units from three sources to the NOX trading portion of the Indiana plan. The plan revision also includes: A compliance date change to accommodate revised deadlines under the NOX SIP call; a revised definition of ``energy efficiency project'' to include anaerobic digestion systems; the addition of formulas to describe an energy efficiency and renewable energy ``set aside''; and minor wording changes and correction of typographical errors. These changes are consistent with Indiana's previously approved ``Phase I budget.''
