RE: Additional documents for RTR Penny Lassiter to: Higgins, Cortney 03/23/2011 05:52 PM Cc: Ann Johnson, Mary Kissell

Cortney,

Per our call today, I am providing you the 5 references identified in the literature search, along with links to the actual documents. The literature search was conducted to review articles discussing the potential formation of dioxins and furans when halogenated compounds are sent to a combustion device. I do not believe this information is needed to support the final rule since we are now planning to promulgate limits for HCl at the MACT floor, and I plan to strike reference to this memo conducting the literature search from the response in the RTC document. Thanks.

Cited in the following statement from the RTC document:
A literature review documented in a memo available in the docket for this action

, “Review of Halogenated Stream Definition ‐ DRAFT
