Public Hearing on EPA's Proposed Reconsideration of the Final MON Risk and Technology Review
EPA held a virtual public hearing on February 22, 2022, to provide the public the opportunity to present comments and information on the Agency's Proposed Reconsideration of the 2020 NESHAP for the MON Risk and Technology Review. The proposal would continue to rely on EPA’s 2016 peer-reviewed value to represent the toxicity of ethylene oxide – a potent air toxic – when assessing risk from the manufacture of miscellaneous specialty organic chemicals in the 2020 MON final rule. In addition, EPA is proposing to decline to use the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s (TCEQ) risk value for ethylene oxide instead of the EPA’s 2016 value.
