Title: Oil and Natural Gas SectorNew 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. 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. The development of control techniques guidelines (CTG) for criteria pollutants will also be done under this action. Since the existing regulations are narrow in scope, the reviews will include consideration of broadening the scope of operations and emissions points covered by the NSPS and the MACT. | |
