Title: NESHAP: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Standards for Hazardous Waste Combustors (Response to Petitions for Reconsideration) 
Abstract: EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for hazardous waste combustors on October 12, 2005. Following promulgation of the final rule, the EPA Administrator received four petitions for reconsideration pursuant to section 307(d)(7)(B) of the Clean Air Act. Under this section of the Clean Air Act, the Administrator must initiate reconsideration proceedings if the petitioner can show that it was impracticable to raise an objection to a rule within the public comment period or that the grounds for the objection arose after the public comment period. On March 23, 2006 and September 6, 2006, EPA granted reconsideration with respect to eight issues raised by the petitions. EPA also proposed amendments and corrections to the October 2005 final rule that clarify several compliance and monitoring provisions of the rule. The Response to the Petitions for Reconsideration rule will announce EPA's final action regarding the eight issues raised in the petitions and the other compliance and monitoring amendments.
