{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a public hearing for the proposed rule titled, \"Revisions to Test Methods, Performance Specifications, and Testing Regulations for Air Emission Sources,\" that was published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2015. The hearing will be held in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The EPA is proposing technical and editorial corrections and revisions to regulations related to source testing of emissions. The EPA is proposing to make corrections and updates to testing provisions that contain inaccuracies and outdated procedures, and to provide alternatives to existing testing regulations. The revisions will improve the quality of data and provide testers flexibility to use recently-approved alternative procedures. Many of the changes were suggested by testers and other end-users and will not impose new substantive requirements on source owners or operators.","action":"Announcement of public hearing.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2015/09/30/2015-24859.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":51,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":60,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":61,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":63,"title":40}],"citation":"80 FR 58636","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The public hearing will be held on October 8, 2015, in Research Triangle Park.
