Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Combustion Turbines--Petition To Delist 
Abstract: In August 2002, the Agency received a petition to remove certain types of stationary gas-fired combustion turbines from the list of hazardous air pollutant sources under Section 112(c) of the Clean Air Act. After negotiating with the petitioner regarding the acquisition of additional data regarding its petition and reviewing the additional data, the Agency proposed a partial granting of the petition by delisting 4 subcategories of stationary gas-fired turbines in April 2004. Simultaneously, the Agency proposed a stay of the effectiveness of the combustion turbine MACT for those subcategories of turbines, delaying the imposition of control requirements for the delisted turbines until a final action is taken regarding the delisting. The Agency is waiting until the completion of the final IRIS assessment regarding the carcinogenic potency of formaldehyde before taking final action on the petition. The final IRIS action on formaldehyde is expected to occur in August 2011.
