Re: EAF NSPS



Hi Paul - Yes, certainly, you may get involved with the NSPS review. I sent the attached Word versions of the two NSPS to SMA awhile back for their markup and have not received any feedback yet, so you haven't missed anything.  

Attached are two files for your members to use to mark up (redline please). You can add edits and/or comment bubbles on anything that your group would like to see changed. Please explain briefly in the document with a comment bubble why each edit is something your association members would like to see changed or deleted. You can provide additional and/or detailed comments in separate documents.

As fyi - I am doing the same exercise with the EPA Region V inspectors. I will review all of the comments and then proceed with any changes from there. I will let all groups review the others' suggested changes before going forward.

I am also reviewing test data on PM filterable obtained via 114 requests from EAF facilities from 2010 and 2016 to evaluate the current standard. Any additional more recent test data is welcome. We will be adding ERT data submittal as a requirement in the amended rule so future technology reviews will be easier.

As far as timeline, we have adequate time to evaluate the current rule before the November 2021 proposal deadline. I will likely start developing the proposed rule package and starting work group meetings around November 2020.

I am doing well here and hope you all are the same. We are all still working at home.

Dear Dr. Jones,
 
AISI represents EAF steel producers that will be impacted by the forthcoming NSPS.  I would like to see if we could be able to engage on the EAF NSPS rulemaking effort along with the Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA).  If you have any questions at all, please let me know.  I hope you are well and staying safe!
 
Best,
Paul
