ACTION: Proposed decision; request for public comment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On December 6, 1994, we promulgated Ethylene Oxide Emission Standards for Sterilization Facilities (59 FR 62585). The national emission standards limit and control hazardous air pollutants (HAP) that are known or suspected to cause cancer or have other serious health or environmental effect. Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) directs EPA to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) after the application of national emission standards controls and revise as necessary to protect public health. Also, CAA section 112(d)(6) requires us to review and to revise the national emission standards as necessary by taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. The proposal announces a decision and requests public comments on the residual risk assessment and technology review for the national emission standards. We are proposing no further action at this time to revise the national emission standards. DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before December 8, 2005. Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting to speak at a public hearing by November 8, 2005, a public hearing will be held approximately 20 days following publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
