National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production

摘要

On June 23, 1999, EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for Pesticide Active Ingredient (PAI) Production. On August 19, 20, and 23, 1999, petitions for judicial review of the June 1999 rule were filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The amendments proposed on April 10, 2002 were in response to issues raised by two of those petitioners--the American Crop Protection Association (ACPA) and the American Cyanamid Company (now BASF Corporation). In this action, EPA takes final action on those proposed amendments to the rule to address issues raised by petitioners and to correct inconsistencies that have been discovered since EPA originally promulgated the rule.
