| 98-7488 | Determination of Adequacy of Section 112 Authorities and Determination of Need for Additional Standards | Notice | Today's notice provides EPA's determination that the legal authorities contained in the provisions of section 112 of the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act (Act) are adequate to prevent serious adverse public health effects and serious or widespread environmental effects associated with atmospheric deposition of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to the Great Lakes, the Chesapeake Bay, Lake Champlain, and certain coastal waters (the Great Waters). Today's notice also provides EPA's determination that further emission standards or control measures under section 112(m)(6), beyond those that can otherwise be adopted under section 112, are not necessary and appropriate to prevent such effects. Note that these determinations are not a conclusion that EPA has taken full advantage of the statutory authorities under section 112, but that these authorities exist and are adequate, based on the information available now, to prevent serious adverse effects to public health and serious or widespread environmental effects associated with atmospheric deposition of HAP to the Great Waters. The two draft determinations were published on July 7, 1997, and a public comment period during which interested persons could submit written comments in response to the draft determinations ran through August 6, 1997. These determinations are being made pursuant to section 112(m)(6) of the Act, as amended in 1990. | 1998-03-24 | 1998 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/03/24/98-7488/determination-of-adequacy-of-section-112-authorities-and-determination-of-need-for-additional | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-03-24/pdf/98-7488.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Today's notice provides EPA's determination that the legal authorities contained in the provisions of section 112 of the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act (Act) are adequate to prevent serious adverse public health effects and serious or widespread... |
