On December 19, 1980, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for benzene storage vessels under the authority of Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. The proposed standards were published in the Federal Register (45 FR 83952) with a request for public comment. A public hearing was held on June 9, 1981. Six individuals representing three organizations made presentations. A total of 22 comments from industry, two trade associations, and an environmental group were submitted during the comment period. Comments submitted relevant to the withdrawal decision and EPA's responses are summarized in this document. The summary of comments and responses serves as the basis for the proposal to withdraw the proposed standards.
