EPA Renews Magnesium Emissions Paperwork Push

## Summary

The EPA is asking to keep collecting information from primary magnesium refineries to make sure they follow pollution rules. This renewal won’t change the rules but helps the EPA keep track of emissions and protect the environment. If you’re involved in magnesium refining, you can comment on this by October 26, 2026, with no new costs expected.

## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Primary Magnesium Refining EPA ICR Number 2098.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0536) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through September 30, 2026. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on August 6, 2024 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
