OSTI ID:7161120

Section 112 of Title III (Air Toxics) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 1990 identifies a list of 189 hazardous air pollutants (HAP's) and requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish, within 1 year of enactment, an initial list of all categories and subcategories of major and area sources of HAP's. The purpose of this report is to (1) describe the methodology used to identify sources that emit HAP's, (2) document the technical references that support EPA's conclusion that one or more of the listed HAP's is emitted from a specified source category, (3) provide broad descriptions of the categories of major sources included on the initial list, and (4) present the responses to public comments received regarding a preliminary draft list of source categories that was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 1991.
