## Abstract

The EPA is taking direct final action on amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for off-site waste and recovery operations (OSWRO) that the EPA promulgated on July 1, 1996, under authority of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The rule applies to owners and operators of facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and manage certain wastes, used oil, or used solvents received from off-site locations. The EPA is amending specific provisions in the rule to resolve issues and questions raised after promulgation of the final rule. In addition, the EPA is amending other rule language to correct technical omissions; to make specific requirements consistent and up-to-date with recent decisions made by the Agency for other related air rules; and to correct typographical, printing, and grammatical errors. The amendments do not significantly change the EPA's original projections for the rule's environmental benefits, compliance costs, burden on industry, or the number of affected facilities.
