This action also finalizes the technology review for the Primary Copper Smelting area source NESHAP. The final amendments for the major source NESHAP include particulate matter (PM) emission standards as a surrogate for metal hazardous air pollutants (HAP) other than mercury (primarily lead and arsenic) for anode refining point sources, process fugitive emissions from roofline vents, Hoboken converter process fugitive capture systems where they combine with anode refining point sources, and new converters. We are also finalizing emission standards for previously unregulated HAP including mercury, benzene, toluene, hydrogen chloride (HCl), chlorine, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and dioxins and furans (D/F). In addition, we are taking final action in the major source NESHAP to establish work practice standards for bypass stacks, and add a new emissions limit for lead and emissions control design standards to minimize process fugitive emissions at facilities with flash furnaces and Peirce-Smith converters. Final amendments for both the major source NESHAP and the area source NESHAP include removing exemptions and associated provisions for periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM), specifying that the emission standards apply at all times, and requiring electronic reporting of performance test results and notification of compliance reports. 89 FR 41648 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2024-05-13/2024-09883 2024-09883 fr13my24-17 RIN 2060-AU63 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0430 FRL-7522-02-OAR https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2024-05-13/2024-09883 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-05-13/html/2024-09883.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-05-13/pdf/2024-09883.pdf Environmental Protection Administrative Practice and Procedures Air Pollution Control Hazardous Substances Incorporation by Reference Intergovernmental Relations Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements 77 p. 41648 41724 89 FR 41648 Title 40 Part 63 40 CFR Part 63 RIN 2060-AU63 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Primary Copper Smelting Residual Risk and Technology Review and Primary Copper Smelting Area Source Technology Review; Federal Register Vol. 89, Issue RULE 2024-09883 V ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2024-05-13 EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0430 FRL-7522-02-OAR 6560-50-P 2024-09883 Final rule.
