Jul 11, 2023· Comment submitted by American Chemistry Council (ACC) et al.· EPA-HQ-OAR-2022-0730-0168

The American Chemistry Council, The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association, and the Vinyl Institute respectfully submit these comments on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's proposed New Source Performance Standards for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Group I & II Polymers and Resins.

May 22, 2023· Comment submitted by American Chemistry Council (ACC)· EPA-HQ-OAR-2022-0730-0101

American Chemistry Council requests an extension of the comment period for the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rulemaking "New Source Performance Standards for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Group I & II Polymers and Resins Industry," published in the Federal Register on April 25, 2023. The proposed rulemaking represents six separate rulemakings in one and is a complex, far-reaching, and potentially precedential Agency initiative and it has significant implications for several groups of chemical manufacturing entities, including potential restrictions that may force numerous facilities offline and create potential supply chain disruptions for critical products, all without a meaningful benefit for public health or the environment. As a result, we believe that additional time is necessary to fully analyze the proposed rulemaking and provide meaningful comments; therefore, we request that EPA extend the current comment period for an additional 60 days.

Abstract

This action will address the agency's technology review of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for four subparts in 40 CFR part 63 (subparts F, G, H, and I) that apply to the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) and to equipment leaks from certain non-SOCMI processes. These four NESHAP are more commonly referred to together as the Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON). In addition, this action will address the agency's review of four New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) in 40 CFR part 60 (subparts III, NNN, RRR, and VVa) for emissions of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) from SOCMI air oxidation unit processes, SOCMI distillation operations, SOCMI reactor processes, and equipment leaks located at SOCMI sources. All significant materials associated with the development of the HON & SOCMI NSPS review will be maintained in this docket.
