Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (18-1 and 18-4); Technical Correction
Document Number: 2020-02906
Type: Rule
Date: 2020-02-25
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA issued final significant new use rules (SNURs) in the Federal Register of November 25, 2019 for 22 chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) (SNUR batch 18-1), and in in the Federal Register of December 5, 2019 for 29 chemical substances that were the subject of PMNs (SNUR batch 18-4). In SNUR batch 18-1, for the chemical substance that was the subject of PMN P- 15-114, EPA made errors in the SNUR requirements for hazard communication and protection in the workplace, resulting in inconsistencies with the same requirements in the associated TSCA Order. For SNUR batch 18-4, for one of the two chemical substances that are subject to the SNUR, EPA made a typographical error when identifying the associated PMN number in the SNUR. Additionally, for two other SNURs, language in the SNURs incorrectly refers to requirements in ``the TSCA Order'' rather than in the SNUR itself. This document is being issued to correct these errors.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Surface Coating of Metal Cans and Surface Coating of Metal Coil Residual Risk and Technology Reviews
Document Number: 2020-00303
Type: Rule
Date: 2020-02-25
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action on the residual risk and technology reviews (RTRs) conducted for the Surface Coating of Metal Cans and Surface Coating of Metal Coil source categories regulated under national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). The EPA is also taking final action on amendments for the two source categories to address emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM); electronic reporting of performance test results and compliance reports; the addition of EPA Method 18 and updates to several measurement methods; and the addition of requirements for periodic performance testing. Additionally, several miscellaneous technical amendments are being made to improve the clarity of the rule requirements. We are making no revisions to the numerical emission limits for the two source categories based on the residual risk and technology reviews.
