Title: Review of New Source Performance Standards--Portland Cement 
Abstract: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) regulate criteria pollutants 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, so the review is overdue. The Sierra Club filed a lawsuit to compel us to perform this review. We have agreed to review the NSPS and propose any appropriate changes by May 31, 2008, and to promulgate the final changes by May 31, 2009.
