Title: NESHAPS: Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Hazardous Waste Combustors-Phase I Clarification and Proposed Changes 
Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is required to establish National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for most hazardous waste combustors (HWCs) (i.e., incinerators, cement kilns, boilers, and some types of smelting furnaces). In addition, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA is required to establish standards for all HWCs as necessary to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Consequently, the Agency established in the Phase I rule new emissions standards for cement kilns, lightweight aggregate kilns, and incinerators under CAA authority on September 30, 1999 (64 FR 52828). Following promulgation, issues were raised by the regulated community through informal comments and through litigation. In response, this proposed rule will propose changes and clarify the final Phase I rule.
