Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZ) were proposed on September 17, 2007, and promulgated January 2, 2008 (73 FR 252). Amendments to the NESHAP were proposed on October 9, 2019 as a result of the technology review required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) (as discussed further below). The NESHAP applies to both new and existing iron and steel foundries that are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. There are different requirements for area source foundries based on size. Existing foundries with an annual metal melt production greater than 20,000 tons and new foundries with an annual melt capacity of 10,000 tons are classified as large foundries. Existing foundries with an annual metal melt production of 20,000 tons or less and new foundries with an annual melt capacity of 10,000 tons or less are classified as small foundries. Research and development facilities are not covered by the rule. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the original date of proposal (September 17,2007). This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZ.
