The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing changes to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the carbon black production industry. The proposal aims to improve air quality by addressing hazardous emissions from production units, setting new requirements for startup, shutdown, and malfunction processes, and mandating electronic reporting of specific data. Additionally, the EPA evaluated the risks of emissions and decided that while the risks are currently acceptable, these updates will help ensure better protection of public health and the environment. The changes will also include electronic reporting to make data collection more efficient and transparent.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request related to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval. This request is for an extension of the existing standards to ensure compliance with emission regulations for certain aluminum production facilities. Public comments can be submitted until March 31, 2025. The number of facilities affected by these standards has decreased from eight to six, resulting in a lower estimated burden of time and costs.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing changes to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Cyanide Chemicals Manufacturing source category. These changes stem from a review under the Clean Air Act to ensure the current standards are effective in protecting public health and addressing any emission risks. While the EPA found current emissions pose acceptable risks, they are proposing updated standards for process wastewater and emphasizing electronic reporting. The aim is to enhance monitoring, compliance, and data accuracy without expecting significant changes in emissions or economic impacts for the industry.
