The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a virtual public hearing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Aug. 15, to provide the public the opportunity to present comments and information regarding the agency’s proposal regarding Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants.

This proposed action addresses amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Facilities, which was previously amended when EPA finalized the Residual Risk and Technology Review for this source category on July 13, 2020. EPA will announce further details and updates at: https://www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-air-pollution/integrated-iron-and-steel-manufacturing-national-emission.
