This proclamation addresses the EPA's April 5, 2024 final rule, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Ethylene Oxide Emissions Standards for Sterilization Facilities Residual Risk and Technology Review, 89 Fed. Reg. 24090 (EtO Rule), which imposes new emissions-control requirements on commercial sterilization facilities. The proclamation declares that that certain stationary sources subject to the EtO Rule, as identified in Annex I of the proclamation, are exempt from compliance with the EtO Rule for a period of two years beyond the EtO Rule's relevant compliance dates. During the two-year period, the exempted stationary sources will remain subject to the emissions and compliance obligations in effect prior to the issuance of the EtO Rule.
