The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for an extension of the information collection related to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking Facilities. This extension is necessary to ensure compliance with standards that limit hazardous emissions from these facilities. Public comments on this request are welcomed until March 31, 2025. The EPA aims to monitor compliance by requiring initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reporting from the facilities affected by this collection standard.
Simple Explanation
The EPA wants to keep a close eye on factories that make steel using electric tools to make sure they don't make the air dirty. They are asking for more time to gather info and check that these factories follow the rules, and they invite people to share their thoughts on this until the end of March 2025.
