Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Large Municipal Waste Combustors Voluntary Remand Response and 5-Year Review; Closing of Comment Period
AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Proposed rule; closing comment period.
SUMMARY:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is closing the reopened comment period on the proposed Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Large Municipal Waste Combustors Voluntary Remand Response and 5-Year Review. The original proposed rule was published on January 23, 2024, with a 60-day comment period closing March 25, 2024. This comment period was reopened on January 16, 2025, for an additional 6 months. The EPA is providing notice that the comment period for this rule will now close on May 30, 2025. We believe that a 6.5-month comment period in total is sufficient for interested stakeholders to submit comments and additional data.
DATES:
Comments on the proposed rule, published at 89 FR 4243 on January 23, 2024, must be received on or before May 30, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Rationale. On January 23, 2024, the EPA proposed amendments to 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 60, subparts Cb and Eb, the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Large Municipal Waste Combustors (89 FR 4243). The comment period for this proposed rule closed on March 25, 2024. The EPA decided to reopen the comment period for an additional 6 months for the EPA to gather additional information on the proposed amendments to the Large Municipal Waste Combustor regulations. However, after further evaluation, the EPA has determined that a 6.5-month total comment period is sufficient for interested stakeholders to provide comments, information, and data related to this rulemaking ( i.e., the initial 60-day comment period and the additional 4.5-month extension of the comment period). Accordingly, the 6-month extension of the comment period will be reduced to a 4.5-month extension. This will allow the EPA to more thoroughly evaluate the collected data on verifiable historic pollutant emission concentration information ( e.g., stack test reports, waste characterization reports and continuous emission monitor records) that we have received and may receive during this comment period, to determine the maximum achievable control technology ("MACT") requirements, including operation of the control technologies over time, before taking final action. The public comment period will now end on May 30, 2025.
Docket. The EPA has established a docket for this rulemaking under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0183. All documents in the docket are listed in https://www.regulations.gov/. Although listed, some information is not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

Except for these materials, publicly available docket materials are available electronically in Regulations.gov .
Instructions. Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0183.
