NTAA’s PRK for EPA’s Proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil- Fired Electric Steam Generating Units Review
The Clean Air Act authorizes the EPA to promulgate emissions standards for combustion byproducts. Pursuant to CAA Section 112, the EPA adopted National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Steam Generating Units in February 2012. These requirements are known as the Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS). As technologies and operating practices have been developed, the EPA is proposing that modifications to the MATS are appropriate. More information, including the importance for Tribes, can be found in the fact sheet below.
Comments on this proposed rule are due to EPA by June 23, 2023 using the Federal Rulemaking Portal or by email to a-r-Docket@epa.gov. The Docket ID is: EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0794.
