EPA Publishes Federal Register Notice to Fix One Typo
Published Date: 1/7/2025
Rule
Summary
The EPA fixed a typo in a recent rule that affects certain big pollution sources now classified as smaller area sources. This correction makes sure these sources still follow important pollution limits for seven harmful chemicals, even after reclassification. The fix takes effect on January 7, 2025, so affected businesses should keep an eye on their compliance to avoid surprises.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Reclassified Major Sources Keep NESHAP Duties
If a facility was subject to certain major-source NESHAP on September 10, 2024, it must remain subject to those NESHAP even if the facility later reduces emissions and becomes an area source. This requirement covers rules tied to seven specific persistent and bioaccumulative pollutants, so affected facilities should continue to follow existing pollution limits and compliance obligations.
Typo Fix Restores Pesticide Production Rule Reference
The EPA corrected a typographical error in 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6)(iii) to replace an incorrect reference to subpart HHH with the correct reference to 40 CFR part 63 subpart MMM (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production). The correction is effective January 7, 2025, and ensures that the pesticide active ingredient production source category remains listed among the subparts that must continue to apply after reclassification.
