Area Source Boilers (NESHAP Subpart JJJJJJ)

- Initial Notification Form -
On December 23, 2011 EPA published proposed amendments to Subpart JJJJJJ that would extend the compliance date for initial boiler tune-ups from March 21, 2012 to March 21, 2013. Because this rule amendment has not become final, EPA issued a "No Action Assurance" letter on March 13, 2012 stating that EPA will not take enforcement action against facilities that do not conduct a tune-up required by Subpart JJJJJJ by the March 21, 2012 compliance date. Similarly, the Office of Environmental Assistance and Protection will not enforce the March 21, 2012 compliance deadline for boiler tune-ups. The No Action Assurance has been extended until December 31, 2012 or the effective date of a final rule revision to Subpart JJJJJJ
Stationary Engines and Emergency Generators (NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ)
If you are the owner or operator of an emergency generator, you must comply with Subpart ZZZZ of 40 CFR Part 63. Please make sure you operate your generator such that you maintain its status as an emergency generator.
If your stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) is not for emergency use, please contact us for direction.
