Startup, Shutdown, & Malfunction (SSM) Emissions at Industrial Facilities

(See attached file: SSM Summary Sept. 2003.pdf)

(See attached file: EPA SSM Fact Sheet - May 2015.pdf)(See attached file: Final Rule - State Implementation Plans.pdf)

On EPA's list of states with SIP provisions for which the EPA either grants or denies the petition, the final action on Nebraska's petition was 'Deny'. In denying the Petition for Nebraska, the EPA found that the particular provisions identified by the Petitioner were not substantially inadequate to meet the requirements pursuant to CAA section 110(k)(5), and thus the EPA did not issue a SIP call for the state.
