Title: Requirements for Control Technology Determinations for Major Sources in Accordance With Clean Air Act Sections, Sections 112(g) and 112(j)
Abstract: As required by Clean Air Act section 112(j), in cases where EPA fails to promulgate a Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standard for a major source category, the owner or operator of a source in that category must obtain an operating permit with case-by-case emission limitations determined to be equivalent to MACT. EPA's program for implementing this requirement is codified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart B. In this action, we are revising subpart B to address the process for obtaining case-by-case MACT determinations in the case of standards vacatur. We are also reformatting the rule to streamline it and make it easier to understand. There has been significant confusion from permitting authorities on how this program works in the case of vacaturs.
