The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is initiating consultation with federally recognized Indian Tribes to obtain input on the agency’s proposed amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) that apply to the Polyether Polyols (PEPO) Production Industry. Under this NESHAP, the EPA is proposing to strengthen the emission standards for ethylene oxide (EtO) emissions and other hazardous air pollutants (HAP) produced by the PEPO industry.

Tribes may submit written comments at https://www.regulations.gov/, Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR- 2023-0282, any time during the open comment period following publication in the Federal Register.
