## Abstract

This action promulgates national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing organic liquids distribution (OLD) (non-gasoline) operations, which are carried out at storage terminals, refineries, crude oil pipeline stations, and various manufacturing facilities. These NESHAP implement section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by requiring all OLD operations at plant sites that are major sources to meet hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions standards reflecting the application of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT). The EPA estimates that approximately 5,300 megagrams per year (Mg/ yr) (5,900 tons per year (tpy)) of HAP are emitted from facilities in this source category. Although a large number of organic HAP are emitted nationwide from these operations, benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, vinyl chloride, and xylenes are among the most prevalent. These HAP have been shown to have a variety of carcinogenic and noncancer adverse health effects. The EPA estimates that the final standards will result in the reduction of HAP emissions from major sources with OLD operations by 60 percent. The emissions reductions achieved by the final standards, when combined with the emissions reductions achieved by other similar standards, will provide improved protection to the public and achieve a primary goal of the CAA.
