If adopted, the amendments would incorporate by reference changes that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made to certain Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards that the commission has previously adopted and would incorporate by reference 12 new federal MACT standards for the control of hazardous air pollutant emissions from specific source categories. MACT standards are found in 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 63. The previously adopted MACT standards that EPA has changed are: Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry for Process Vents, Storage Vessels, Transfer Operations, and Wastewater, Subpart G; Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Facilities, Subpart O; Industrial Process Cooling Towers, Subpart Q; Halogenated Solvent Cleaning, Subpart T; Secondary Lead Smelting, Subpart X; Petroleum Refineries, Subpart CC; and Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities, Subpart GG. The 12 new federal MACT standards are: Coke Oven Batteries, Subpart L; Pulp and Paper Production, Subpart S; Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations, Subpart JJ; Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants, Subpart LL; Tanks Level I, Subpart OO; Containers, Subpart PP; Surface Impoundments, Subpart QQ; Individual Drain Systems, Subpart RR; Oil-Water Separators and Organic-Water Separators, Subpart VV; Hazardous Waste Combustors, Subpart EEE; Pharmaceutical Production, Subpart GGG; and Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production, Subpart III. MACT standards are applicable statewide to major and a limited number of nonmajor or area sources which emit any of the EPA-designated 188 hazardous air pollutants. The level of control is based on the maximum level of control achieved in practice within the industry. The staff also requests approval to seek formal delegation from EPA for the 12 new MACT standards. The proposed rules were published in the April 9, 1999 issue of the Texas Register (24 TexReg 2851).
