Title: Residual Risk and Technology Review Amendments to the Primary Aluminum Reduction NESHAP 
Abstract: The existing National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (found in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LL) was promulgated in 1997 and applies to the owner or operator of each new pitch storage tank, new or existing potline, paste production plant, or anode bake furnace associated with primary aluminum reduction which is located at a major source, as defined in 40 CFR ยง63.2. Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs the EPA to conduct a risk assessment of a source category within 8 years of promulgation of the MACT standards for that source category. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA directs the EPA to review and revise the MACT standards for a source category, as necessary, every 8 years after promulgation of the MACT standards for that source category, taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. EPA will conduct the risk assessment and technology review required by the statue.
