Title: Review of New Source Performance Standards--Portland Cement 
Abstract: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) regulate criteria pollutants, such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides from new stationary sources. The Portland Cement NSPS were originally promulgated in 1971, and last reviewed in 1988. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act requires that NSPS be reviewed every 8 years and revised as appropriate. The Sierra Club filed a lawsuit to compel us to perform this review, and we agreed to review the NSPS and to promulgate final changes by October 30, 2009. Since that time, the plaintiff agreed to a promulgation schedule for the NSPS of June 6, 2010, which is the same date we will finalize the Portland cement manufacturing air emissions standards for air toxics emissions.
