Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Parts 60 and 63 [EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0682; FRL-9720-4] RIN 2060-AQ75 AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency. ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: This action proposes amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for petroleum refineries to address the risk remaining after application of the standards promulgated in 1995 and 2002. This action also proposes amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for petroleum refineries based on the results of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) review of developments in practices, processes and control technologies and includes new monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The EPA is also proposing new requirements related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction to ensure that the standards are consistent with court opinions issued since promulgation of the standards. This action also proposes technical corrections and clarifications for new source performance standards for petroleum refineries to improve consistency and clarity and address issues raised after the 2008 rule promulgation. Implementation of this proposed rule will result in projected reductions of 1,760 tons per year (tpy) of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), which will reduce cancer risk and chronic health effects.
