1 S. 2461, Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing Kilns Act of 2018 1 (October 3, 2018)

handle is hein.congrec/cbobkric0001 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE U COST ESTIMATE October 3, 2018 S. 2461 Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing Kilns Act of 2018 As reported by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on September 18, 2018 S. 2461 would extend compliance dates for entities affected by final rules addressing national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) under the Clean Air Act for brick, structural clay, and ceramic products manufactured in kilns. The rules that would be affected are: NESHAP for Brick and Structural Clay Products Manufacturing and NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, published in the Federal Register on October 26, 2015; and NESHAP for Brick and Structural Clay Products Manufacturing and NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing: Correction, published in the Federal Register on December 4, 2015. The NESHAP rule, published on October 26, 2015, by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), requires manufacturers of brick, structural clay, and ceramic products to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from kilns. Under that rule, manufacturers must comply with the regulations by December 2018. S. 2461 would extend compliance dates for manufacturers until September 2020. CBO estimates that revising the rule's compliance date would not have a significant effect on the agency's workload or spending. The bill also would require EPA to finalize new NESHAP regulations within one year after judicial review of the rule is completed. Using information from EPA about current activities related to the NESHAP and similar rules promulgated under the Clean Air Act, CBO estimates that the costs of undergoing a new rulemaking would total about $1 million over a period of two to three years. That amount includes the costs for personnel and contracts necessary to develop and issue a proposal, to receive and respond to public comments, and to issue a final rule.
