| 94-7241 | Hazardous Air Pollutants: Proposed Regulations Governing Constructed, Reconstructed or Modified Major Sources; Proposed Rule ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY | Uncategorized Document | The proposed rule would implement the provisions in section 112(g) of the Clean Air Act (Act). The section 112(g) requirements are new provisions of the 1990 amendments to the Act. Section 112(g) applies to the owner or operator of a constructed, reconstructed, or modified major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). After the effective date of a title V permit program in a State, all owners or operators of major sources that are constructed, reconstructed, or modified in that State would be required to install maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The proposed rule establishes requirements and procedures for the owners or operators to follow in order to comply with section 112(g). The proposed rule also contains guidance permitting authorities in implementing section 112(g). When no applicable Federal emission limitation has been promulgated, the Act requires the permitting authority (generally a State or local agency responsible for the program) to determine a MACT emission limitation on a case-by-case basis. Procedures are proposed for making these determinations. The proposed rule includes proposed de minimis emission rates for all of the listed HAP. These de minimis values are critical in defining the scope of the section 112(g) requirements. Pursuant to section 112(g), an owner or operator may provide emission offsets to avoid requirements for modifications. The proposed rule provides procedures for providing and reviewing offset demonstrations, including procedures for evaluating whether emission offsets are ``more hazardous'' than emission increases being offset. Finally, the proposal includes a number of clarifying amendments to previously proposed or promulgated regulations. These proposed amendments would clarify the relationship between those requirements and section 112(g) of the Act. | 1994-04-01 | 1994 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/04/01/94-7241/hazardous-air-pollutants-proposed-regulations-governing-constructed-reconstructed-or-modified-major | The proposed rule would implement the provisions in section 112(g) of the Clean Air Act (Act).
