        <RULE_TITLE>National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks Residual Risk and Technology Review; and Coke Oven Batteries Technology Review</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This action will address the agency’s residual risk and technology review (RTR) of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks; and the technology review for Coke Oven Batteries. The Clean Air Act (CAA) directs the EPA to promulgate emission standards under CAA 112(f)(2) if such standards are required to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health or to prevent, taking relevant factors into account, an adverse environmental effect. Any such standards are to be promulgated within 8 years after promulgation of MACT standards under CAA section 112(d). CAA section 112(d)(6) requires the EPA to review and revise the MACT standards as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies, no less often than every 8 years. The Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks NESHAP, subpart CCCCC, was promulgated pursuant to section 112(d) of the CAA on 04/14/03. The NESHAP established emission limitations and work practice requirements based on maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for controlling emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from pushing, quenching and battery stacks. The HAP emitted from pushing, quenching and battery stacks include coke oven emissions, as well as polycyclic organic matter and volatile organic compounds such as benzene and toluene. This action will implement the residual risk review requirements of CAA section 112(f)(2) and the technology review requirements of CAA section 112(d)(6). The NESHAP for Coke Ovens Batteries (subpart L),  was reviewed under CAA sections 112(f)(2) and 112(d)(6) and amendments were promulgated on 08/15/05. This action will implement the technology review requirements of CAA section 112(d)(6) for  Coke Ovens Batteries (subpart L).  The federal district court for the Northern District of California set a deadline of December 26, 2022, for the final rule in proceedings with Plaintiffs (Citizens for Pennsylvania’s Future, Greater-Birmingham Alliance to Stop Pollution (GASP), Louisiana Bucket Brigade, and Sierra Club, acting through counsel, Earthjustice).]]></ABSTRACT>
