ACT Documents

Many of the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTGs) and

Alternative Control Techniques documents (ACTs) for VOCs were

completed over a period from the late 1970s to mid-1990s and

have not been updated. The CTGs are still used to presumptively

define VOC RACT. The EPA issued NOx ACT documents between

1992 and 1995. In September 2000, updates to the NOx ACT

documents were completed for stationary internal combustion

engines and cement kilns. The NOx and VOC ACTs describe

available control techniques and their cost effectiveness, but do

not define presumptive RACT levels as the CTGs do.
