EPA Reconsideration of Ethylene Oxide Emissions Standards for Sterilization Facilities

The EPA is proposing to amend the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for sterilization facilities. This proposed rule reconsiders a previous final rule, aiming to rescind risk-based standards, revise technology-based standards for aeration room vents, and modify compliance demonstration requirements. The EPA is also proposing technical corrections to the existing NESHAP.
