EPA proposed amendments to this subpart on May 15, 2014. The proposed amendments would eliminate exemptions for Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction (SSM) events; add additional emission control requirements for storage tanks, flares, and coking units; require fenceline ambient air monitoring; and add efficiency requirements for flaring of waste gases.
