EPA Proposes New National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Surface Coating Operations

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes new national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for surface coating operations at major automobile and light-duty truck manufacturing facilities, aiming to reduce emissions by 60% and implement maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The proposed rule also amends existing standards for hazardous waste treatment facilities to exempt certain activities covered by the new NESHAP.
