On July 14, 2005, EPA published an amendment to the final rule for the Primary Copper Smelting NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQ).  An error in the regulatory language to the final rule referring to monitored operating parameters for use of a control device other than a baghouse or a venture wet scrubber was discovered.  Amendments were made to sections 63.1452(d) and 63.1453(e).  As a reminder, the NESHAP final rule, promulgated on June 12, 2002, established emission limits and work practice standards for primary copper smelters that use batch copper converters and are a major HAP emission source.

A copy of the final rule amendment is available at:
