Title: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission Guidelines (EG) for Large Municipal Waste Combustors (MWCs). 
Abstract:

EPA originally adopted air emission standards for new and existing large municipal waste combustors (MWCs) in 1995. As required by section 129 of the Clean Air Act, EPA reviewed these standards and proposed revised standards. The proposal occurred on Dec 19, 2005, and final standards were published on May 10, 2006 (71 FR 27323). A number of individuals filed petitions on various aspects of the standards. Moreover, the Agency received a separate petition to reopen the Section 129(a)(2) standards. EPA agreed to initiate such an action. Accordingly, EPA petitioned the court to remand the 2006 LMWC rule to EPA. The court issued the remand in February 2008.
