RE: EAF NSPS extension

Wayne, et al - It was in the works for a while but I did not want to say anything until it was firm since we requested it of the litigants and it also needed to go through the court. In the not so distant past, there was a rule where both sides were in agreement about an extension and the court said no. So better to not say anything until it was a done deal. For EAFs, the economists needed more time because they are short staffed and there were/are a number of high(er) profile rules going on at the same time that took priority (gasoline, oil and gas, mercury MACT, etc. I was ready to go forward with EAFs so it was disappointing for me but nothing I could do. I have the coke ovens rule to work on, so plenty to keep me busy. Id just rather have gotten EAFs done sooner rather than later. 

Thanks for your offer to provide support. Once the economists get back on EAFs, they may have some questions.

Subject: [SPAM-Sender] RE: EAF NSPS extension

Hello Dr. Jones.  Thank you for sharing this.  I was not aware this extension was in the works and, in fact, I understood that EPA appeared to be on schedule to meet the original Nov. 1, 2021 deadline for proposal.  Do you have any insight you can share on EPA's rationale for seeking this extension?  I'm certain the members of the steel trades will have some questions about the need for the additional six months so any context for the decision would be helpful.  
 
And of course, regardless of timing, the steel association representatives and I remain committed to getting you whatever you need to facilitate the review of the NSPS.
 
Thank you again for the notice.  I appreciate all you've done throughout this process.
 
Best,
Wayne

Hello all - Im not sure if I mentioned to you all that this was in the works, but we finally received official confirmation that the EAF NSPS review has been extended until May 2, 2022 for proposal and May 1, 2023 for final.
