Title: Oil and Natural Gas Activities--Review of New Source Performance Standards, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, and Control Techniques Guidelines | |
Abstract: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) regulate criteria pollutants from new stationary sources. Two NSPS (subparts KKK and LLL) for the oil and natural gas industry were promulgated in 1985. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that NSPS be reviewed every 8 years, and revised as appropriate. The development of control techniques guidelines for criteria pollutants will also be considered under this action. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulate hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from new and existing stationary sources. Two NESHAP (subparts HH and HHH) for the oil and natural gas industry were promulgated in 1999. Section 112 of the CAA requires that NESHAP be reviewed every 8 years and revised as appropriate. In addition, section 112(f) requires that each category regulated under section 112(d) be reviewed to ensure that such regulations provide for an ample margin of safety to protect public health (i.e. address "residual risk" for each category). This action will include the required reviews under sections 111 and 112. | |
