Correcting amendment.

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a correction to a rule that updates the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) covering lime‑manufacturing plants. The original “technology review” rule, published in July 2024, set new performance standards and monitoring requirements intended to reduce harmful emissions from lime production. After the rule was released, EPA discovered a mistake in the regulatory language and is now fixing that error so the standards are clear and enforceable. The correction is issued by EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation and applies to all facilities that manufacture lime in the United States. Owners and operators of these plants must follow the revised text, which governs the equipment and practices they must use to control hazardous air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. The correction was published in the Federal Register on November 3, 2026 (91 FR 69,206) and takes effect the same day. Because it is a purely technical amendment, there is no additional public comment period. With the corrected language now official, lime manufacturers should review the updated rule to ensure compliance, and EPA will continue to enforce the standards and monitor emissions under the revised NESHAP.
