On this page:
Rule Summary
This National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) rule consists of four subparts in 40 CFR part 63. Subpart F provides the applicability criteria for Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI) sources, requires that owners and operators of SOCMI sources comply with subparts G and H, and specifies general recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The specific control, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements are stated in subpart G for process vents, storage vessels, transfer racks, and wastewater streams, and in subpart H for equipment leaks. Subpart I provides the applicability criteria for the non-SOCMI processes subject to the negotiated regulation for equipment leaks and requires owners and operators to comply with subpart H.
