Title: Portland Cement Manufacturing NESHAP and NSPS--Proposed Amendments as a Result of Reconsideration 
Abstract: On September 9, 2010 EPA promulgated final amendments to the Portland cement National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) rules regulating emissions of air toxics and criteria pollutants. These amendments applied to all cement kilns that do not burn waste materials. (Cement kilns that burn waste are regulated by separate rules covering hazardous waste combustors and commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators). Subsequent to promulgation of the September 9 rule, we received four petitions for reconsideration, two from environmental groups and two from the Portland cement industry. We issued a notice denying in part and granting in part the petitions for reconsideration on May 17, 2011. We are currently developing proposed rule amendments as a result of out reconsideration on several issues. This action will also include any corrections and clarifications discovered to be necessary after promulgation of the September 2010 amendments.
