U.S. EPA Files Motion to Extend Timetable for Issuing Industrial Boiler Rules
The U.S. EPA has filed a motion with the D.C. Federal Court seeking an extension of the current schedule for issuing the Maximum Achievable Control Technology rules for industrial boilers. The requested extension would allow another 15 months for the EPA to release rules that aim to reduce air emissions from large and small boilers and solid waste incinerators. According to EPA Assistant Administrator Gina McCarthy, additional data received during the public comment period was significant in nature and the EPA will need to consider them prior to issuing any final rules. As proposed, the rules would have an adverse impact on glass container manufacturing and other industries.
The EPA has also posted on their website a “rulemaking gateway,” which is designed to help navigate proposed rules. Visitors may search for a specific rule by topic, phase the particular rule is in, or by date issued. Check it out
