The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the request for public comments on the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for leather finishing operations. This rule applies to facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants. As part of the Information Collection Request (ICR), which is approved through 2025, this extension allows an additional 30 days for public comments, beyond the initial 60-day period announced in May 2023. The EPA is collecting this information to ensure that leather finishing facilities comply with environmental regulations.
Simple Explanation
The EPA is asking people to share their thoughts on rules that help keep the air clean at places where leather is finished, and they have a bit more time to do it, until the end of February 2025. The rules make sure these places follow the law to help protect the environment.
