    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has requested approval from the Office of Management and Budget to extend an information collection related to the Clean Air Act's National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). These standards apply to chemical recovery combustion sources at certain pulp mills. Public comments on this request are open for an additional 30 days. The EPA also noted a decrease in the number of facilities affected by these standards, which has led to a reduction in estimated costs and responses.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is asking for more time to collect information about pollution rules for certain types of factories, and they want people to give their thoughts on this for the next 30 days. There are fewer factories now, so they think it will cost less money to follow these rules.
