Abstract
Owners
or
operators
of
facilities
subject
to
NESHAP
can
participate
in
a
voluntary
program
to
reduce
the
burden
of
compliance
by
implementing
pollution
prevention
measures.
Only
facilities
that
can
reduce
the
burden
of
monitoring,
reporting,
or
recordkeeping
are
expected
to
participate;
consequently,
the
General
Provision
amendments
will
reduce
the
burden
associated
with
NESHAP.
