A. General Background ↑
B. What is the statutory authority and regulatory background for this proposal? ↑
1. Amendments to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CC ↑
We published the final MACT standards for petroleum refineries (40 CFR part 63, subpart CC) on August 18, 1995 (60 FR 43620). These standards are commonly referred to as the “Refinery MACT 1” standards because certain process vents were excluded from this source category and subsequently regulated under a second MACT standard specific to these petroleum refinery process vents (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU, referred to as “Refinery MACT 2”). We published final MACT standards for heat exchange systems at petroleum refineries in amendments to Refinery MACT 1 on October 28, 2009(74 FR 55670). This action proposes amendments to 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC for heat exchange systems at petroleum refineries, and does not amend 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUU.
2. Uniform Standards ↑
C. What source category is affected by this action? ↑
This action directly affects only the petroleum refineries source category. Petroleum refineries are facilities engaged in refining and producing products made from crude oil or unfinished petroleum derivatives. Based on the Energy Information Administration's Refinery Capacity Report 2009, there are 152 operable petroleum refineries in the United States (U.S.) and the U.S. terri
