Published August 26, 2025. Takes effect August 26, 2025. printed at 90 FR 41508. amending 40 CFR 60, 40 CFR 62.
This pauses part of a clean air rule for trash burners at plants.
What the Rule Says It Does
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking interim final action to provide for the temporary use of incineration units subject to commercial and industrial solid waste incinerator (CISWI) regulations during disaster recovery. Currently, only other solid waste incinerators (OSWI) are authorized to combust debris from a disaster or emergency on a temporary basis without having to comply with applicable Clean Air Act (CAA) section 129 requirements. We are also authorizing such temporary use for incinerators (including air curtain incinerators (ACI)) subject to CISWI regulations by adding temporary-use provisions that essentially mirror those in the OSWI regulations to existing Federal CISWI rule subparts. The EPA is requesting comments on all aspects of this interim final rule and will consider all comments received after the conclusion of the comment period.
This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.
