{"abstract":"On October 12, 2005, EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing sources at hazardous waste combustion facilities (the final rule). Subsequently, the Administrator received four petitions for reconsideration of the final rule. On March 23, 2006 and September 6, 2006, EPA granted reconsideration with respect to eight issues raised by the petitions. After evaluating public comments submitted in response to these reconsideration notices, we are taking final action regarding the eight issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration. EPA also re-opened the rule to consider comments relating to a post- promulgation decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and is responding in this proceeding to the comments received on that notice, published on September 27, 2007. As a result of this reconsideration process, we are revising the new source standard for particulate matter for cement kilns and for incinerators that burn hazardous waste. We are also making amendments to the particulate matter detection system provisions and revisions to the health-based compliance alternative for total chlorine of the final rule. Finally, we are also issuing several corrections and clarifications to the final rule.","action":"Final rule; reconsideration.","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/2008/10/28/E8-25166.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":63,"title":40}],"citation":"73 FR 64068","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The final rule is effective on October 28, 2008.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0022","FRL-8733-1"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E8-25166","effective_on":"2008-10-28","end_page":64097,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2008/10/28/E8-25166.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/10/28/E8-25166/neshap-national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-standards-for-hazardous-waste","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E8-25166?publication_date=2008-10-28","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2008-10-28/E8-25166/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":30,"page_views":{"count":508,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 20:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-10-28/pdf/E8-25166.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2008-10-28","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2008/10/28/E8-25166.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2050-AG35":{"issue":"200710","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2050-AG35/neshap-national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-standards-for-hazardous-waste-combus","title":"NESHAP:  National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Standards for Hazardous Waste Combustors (Response to Petitions for Reconsideration)","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200710&RIN=2050-AG35&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Other Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2050-AG35"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"HWC NESHAP 2023 Section 114 Questionnaire Memorandum","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0022-0651"},{"title":"Proposed Red Line Strike Out for 40 CFR Subpart EEE HWC NESHAP Malfunction and Electronic Reporting Amendments","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0022-0644"},{"title":"Revised Response to Comments on April 20, 2004 Hazardous Waste Combustors (HWC) Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Proposed Rule;
