On October 26, 2015, EPA published a final rule which set maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for mercury, non-mercury metal hazardous air pollutants (HAP) using particulate matter (PM) as a surrogate, dioxins/furans (Clay Ceramics only), health-based standards for acid gas HAP (HF, HCl, and Cl2), and work practice standards, where applicable.. This new entry in the regulatory agenda announces that EPA will review the October 26, 2015 action pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610) to determine if the provisions that could affect small entities should be maintained or should be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities. As part of this review, EPA will consider and solicit comments on the following factors: (1) The continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which the technology, economic conditions or other factors have changed in the area
