Title: ●National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Area Source Standards for Prepared Feeds Manufacturing Amendments
Abstract: Section 112(k) of the Clean Air Act requires the development of standards for area sources that account for 90 percent of the emissions in urban areas of the 30 urban hazardous air pollutants (HAP) listed in the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. The Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy lists prepared feeds manufacturing as an area source category. EPA issued national emission standards for control of HAP for the Prepared Feeds Manufacturing area source category on January 5, 2010 (75 FR 522). In determining Generally Available Control Technology (GACT), EPA assumed that the vast majority of prepared feeds manufacturers were already meeting the cyclone design efficiency standard promulgated in the final rule. In light of issues raised by industry with regard to the certification requirements associated with the design efficiency standard, this action is to revise the rule to clarify, consistent with the rulemaking record and preamble of the final rule, that GACT for larger sources is the equipment practice of using a cyclone. This action will also clarify certain management practices in 63.11621(a)(1) and 63.11621(d).
