Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Steam Generating Units: Reconsideration

Résumé

On May 18, 2005, pursuant to section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA published a final rule, entitled "Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Steam Generating Units" (the Clean Air Mercury Rule or CAMR; see 70 FR 28606). The final rule establishes standards of performance for emissions of mercury (Hg) from new and existing coal-fired electric utility steam generating units (Utility Units or EGU). After the notice of final rule appeared in the Federal Register, the Administrator received four petitions for reconsideration of certain aspects of CAMR. In this notice, EPA is announcing reconsideration of specific issues in CAMR, and we are requesting comment on those issues. We are seeking comment only on the aspects of CAMR specifically identified in this notice. We will not respond to any comments addressing other provisions of CAMR or any related rulemakings.
