Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing Reconsideration 
Abstract:

This action will address a granted reconsideration issue and several technical corrections for the Agency’s promulgated final National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing. This final rule was promulgated on October 26, 2015 (80 FR 65470), 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK. The NESHAP established emission limitations and work practice requirements based on maximum achievable control technology for control of hazardous air pollutants from kilns and dryers at new and existing clay ceramics plants. The granted reconsideration issue includes addressing concerns regarding compliance with dioxin/furan emission limits by monitoring kiln temperature during production. In addition, several technical corrections will be proposed covering compliance parameters for water curtains and visible emission location sites.
