National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant
Emissions: Group IV Polymers and Resins; Pesticide Active Ingredient
Production; and Polyether Polyols Production
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Reopening of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 9, 2012, the EPA proposed amendments to three
national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants: National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions: Group IV
Polymers and Resins; National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production; and National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Polyether Polyols
Production. The EPA is reopening the comment period until March 30,
2012. The EPA received a request for this reopening from the Sierra
Club. The Sierra Club requested the reopening in order to analyze data
and review the proposed amendments. EPA finds this request to be
reasonable due to the multiple source categories involved in this
action.

avoid the use of special characters, any form of encryption and be free
of any defects or viruses. For additional information about the EPA's
