| 00-31332 | National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production | Proposed Rule | This action proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Copolymers Production source category. These proposed NESHAP require that PVC and copolymers production facilities, which already must comply with the existing Vinyl Chloride NESHAP, continue to comply with that existing NESHAP. This proposed rule reflects EPA's determination that the hazardous air pollutants (HAP) control level resulting from compliance with the existing Vinyl Chloride NESHAP already reflects the application of maximum achievable control technology (MACT) and, thus, meets the requirements of section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the PVC and Copolymers Production source category. The EPA has determined that this source category includes facilities that are major sources of HAP, including vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride (1,1 dichloroethylene), and vinyl acetate. The EPA has classified vinyl chloride as a known human carcinogen and vinylidene chloride as a possible human carcinogen. All of these HAP can cause noncancer health effects in humans. By proposing compliance with the Vinyl Chloride NESHAP as MACT, the EPA is promoting regulatory consistency and eliminating the costs that would be incurred by enforcing a new set of standards that likely would result in no additional HAP emissions reductions. | 2000-12-08 | 2000 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/12/08/00-31332/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-for-polyvinyl-chloride-and-copolymers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-12-08/pdf/00-31332.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This action proposes national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Copolymers Production source category.
