Extension of Deadlines: Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review Interim Final Rule; National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Facilities; National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coke Ovens: Correction

Key Points

• 1Deadlines are being pushed back for oil and natural gas companies to meet new standards that limit climate pollution and other harmful air emissions
• 2Steel manufacturers and coke oven facilities (which process coal) also get extended deadlines to comply with rules about hazardous air pollutants
• 3The extension gives these industries more time to plan, purchase equipment, and make operational changes needed to meet the environmental standards
• 4This affects workers and communities near oil, gas, and steel facilities, as compliance delays may mean continued pollution exposure for longer periods
• 5The rule includes a technical correction to clarify the requirements for different types of facilities under existing EPA regulations
