| Consolidated Federal Air Rule(CAR) for the Synthetic Organic Chemical         Manufacturing Industry
 Contact: Rick Colyer (colyer.rick@epa.gov)

          Update       Announcements       The final rule was signed by the Administrator on September 20, 2000. The       rule was published in the Federal Register on December 14, 2000. -     Background
        The Consolidated Federal Air Rule (CAR) is a pilot rulemaking originating       from President Clinton's March 16, 1995 initiative to reinvent environmental       regulations. This rule consolidates major portions of the following new       source performance standards (NSPS) and national emission standards for       hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) applicable to storage vessels, process       vents, transfer operations, and equipment leaks within the SOCMI: 40 CFR       part 60, subparts A, Ka, Kb, VV, DDD, III, NNN, and RRR; 40 CFR part 61,       subparts A, V, Y, and BB; and 40 CFR part 63, subparts A, F, G, and H. The       rule pulls together applicable Federal SOCMI rules into one integrated set       of rules in order to simplify, clarify, and improve implementation of the       existing rules with which source owners or operators must comply. The consolidated       rule is an optional compliance alternative for SOCMI sources; sources may       simply continue to comply with existing applicable rules or choose to comply       with the consolidated rule. The effect of this consolidation will be to       improve understandability, reduce burden, clarify requirements, and improve       implementation and compliance.
