Information and Process Vents 

I. Purpose 

Representatives of the Chemical Manufacturer's Association 

(CMA) and the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Emission 

Standards Division (ESD) met to discuss progress on the 

development of the hazardous organic NESHAP (HON). The 

discussion focused on the criteria used to define regulatory 

alternatives and the procedure used to determine the floor for 

the synthetic organic chemical industry. The CMA requested this 

meeting to gain some understanding of the regulatory options 

under consideration.

The materials used in the meeting's discussion are in 

Attachment 1. Jan Meyer explained the alternatives being 

considered for control more stringent than the floor and the 

basis for the criteria used to define different control levels. 

The approach used to identify the floor component for each kind 

of emission point was also briefly described. in the discussion 

of the regulatory alternatives, it was emphasized that no 

decision had been made and it was still possible that additional 

revisions to the alternatives could occur.
