Subpart I – Electronics Manufacturing
Rule Information
On February 22, 2012, EPA issued a proposal to determine which data elements reported under subpart I of Part 98 would or would not be entitled to confidential treatment under the Clean Air Act (CAA). These data elements will be reported to EPA for the first time in September 2012. In addition, this action proposes to amend subpart I to remove the requirement that facilities that use best available monitoring methods (BAMM) recalculate the previous reporting years' emissions and resubmit them to EPA. For more information, please see the fact sheet (PDF). (3 pp, 49K)
