Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations RTR 
Abstract: In this action EPA will perform the risk and technology review for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from off-site waste and recovery operations. The Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6) require EPA to conduct residual risk and technology reviews. Under the "technology review" provision of the CAA section 112, EPA is required to review maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards and to revise them "as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies)" no less frequently than every 8 years. Under the "residual risk" provision of CAA section 112, EPA must evaluate the MACT standards within 8 years after promulgation and promulgate standards if required to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or prevent an adverse environmental effect. As part of this NESHAP revision, EPA will also remove startup, shutdown, and malfunction exemptions as required by recent court decisions.
