Technical Report · Tue Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1993

OSTI ID:5948814

General provisions are being proposed for 40 CFR Part 63 (a new part) which will include national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for source categories to be established pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). The proposed general provisions eliminate the need to repeat general information and requirements within these standards; they include 'generic' information, such as definitions of terms, and sections that spell out the administrative responsibilities of EPA and the compliance responsibilities of owners or operators who are subject to a relevant emission standard or other requirement. The document contains a summary of the requirements and history of general provisions codified in 40 CFR Parts 60 and 61 from which the proposed general provisions were adapted; it also contains an explanation of why such requirements were needed and a summary of the statutory requirements of the CAAA that affect the proposed general provisions for Part 63.
