NTAA’s PRK for EPA’s Proposal to Define “Rudimentary Combustion Device” under OSWI
The EPA is proposing to add a definition for a “rudimentary combustion device” for the new source performance standards (NSPS) and emissions guidelines for other solid waste incinerators (OSWI). This proposed rule would primarily impact Tribes in Alaska, many of which use these rudimentary combustion devices. As such, the EPA is soliciting feedback on the proposed definition and also proposing to postpone developing standards for such devices. More information regarding the proposed definition and its impact on Tribes can be found in the fact sheet below.
Comments on this proposed rule are due to EPA by September 9, 2024 using the Federal Rulemaking Portal or by email to a-and-r-docket@epa.gov. The Docket ID is: EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0156.
