Title: Petroleum Refinery Residual Risk Standards 
Abstract: Under CAA section 112(d)(6) EPA is required to review standards issued under section 112 and to revise them "as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies)" no less frequently than every 8 years. EPA also must evaluate the MACT standards within 8 years after promulgation and promulgate standards under CAA section 112 (f)(2) if required to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or prevent an adverse environmental effect. This rulemaking was under a consent decree to fulfill the requirements of Clean Air Act section 112(d)(6). The consent decree required proposal by August 21, 2007 and promulgation by January 16, 2009. The final rule was signed on January 16, 2009, but was not published in the Federal Register and the action is being reconsidered by the Agency.
