The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the New York State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the control and reduction of sulfur and particulate matter emissions from facilities in New York State. The SIP revisions consist of amendments to regulations outlined within New York's Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) for sulfur in fuel limits and the use of waste oil as fuel. The intended effect of the revisions is to approve control strategies, required by the Clean Air Act (CAA), which will result in emission reductions that will help attain and maintain National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for sulfur dioxide and fine particulate matter emissions throughout New York State. Additionally, the revisions will establish applicability criteria, composition limits, and permitting requirements for waste oils; provide monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for facilities that are determined eligible to burn waste oil; update conditions required for the firing of waste oils in space heaters at automotive maintenance/service facilities to align with both Federal and New York State hazardous waste regulations; and simplify and streamline implementation of the regulation through the correction of typographical errors and elimination of obsolete regulatory references within provisions. This action is being taken in accordance with the requirements of the CAA.
