AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: On September 13, 2004, under authority of section 112 of the
Clean Air Act, EPA promulgated national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants for new and existing industrial/commercial/
institutional boilers and process heaters. On June 19, 2007, the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated
and remanded the standards.
In response to the Court's vacatur and remand, EPA is, in this
action, establishing emission standards that will require industrial/
commercial/institutional boilers and process heaters located at major
sources to meet hazardous air pollutants standards reflecting the
application of the maximum achievable control technology. This rule
protects air quality and promotes public health by reducing emissions
of the hazardous air pollutants listed in section 112(b)(1) of the
Clean Air Act.
DATES: This final rule is effective on May 20, 2011. The incorporation
by reference of certain publications listed in this rule is approved by

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
publishing a final rule that identifies which non-hazardous secondary
materials, when used as fuels or ingredients in combustion units, are
``solid wastes'' under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). This RCRA solid waste definition will determine whether a
combustion unit is required to meet the emissions standards for solid
waste incineration units issued under section 129 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) or the emissions standards for commercial, industrial, and
institutional boilers issued under section 112 of the CAA. In this
action, EPA is also finalizing a definition of traditional fuels.
DATES: This final rule is effective on May 20, 2011.

Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials That Are
Solid Waste
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
publishing a final rule that identifies which non-hazardous secondary
materials, when used as fuels or ingredients in combustion units, are
``solid wastes'' under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). This RCRA solid waste definition will determine whether a
combustion unit is required to meet the emissions standards for solid
waste incineration units issued under section 129 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) or the emissions standards for commercial, industrial, and
institutional boilers issued under section 112 of the CAA. In this
action, EPA is also finalizing a definition of traditional fuels.
DATES: This final rule is effective on May 20, 2011.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-RCRA-2008-0329. All documents in the docket are listed on
