Title: Petroleum Refineries--New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)--Subparts J and Ja 
Abstract: On June 24, 2008, EPA promulgated amendments to the Standards of Performance for Petroleum Refineries and new standards for process units constructed, reconstructed, or modified after May 14, 2007. EPA received three petitions for reconsideration of the final rule. On September 26, 2008, EPA granted reconsideration and issued a stay for the issues raised in the petitions regarding process heaters and flares. On December 22, 2008, EPA addressed those specific issues by proposing amendments to certain provisions for process heaters and flares. EPA also proposed various technical corrections in that action that were raised in the petitions for reconsideration. EPA will take action on other issues raised by petitioners in future notices. The notice deferred action on all the other reconsideration requests, including greenhouse gas controls. A direct final rule issued on December 22, 2008, extended the stay until a final decision on reconsideration has been reached.
