Joseph Bowen [jbowen@gri-aps.com] RE: Sterilizer Rule (89 FR 24090): APS- Owned and Operated Facilities
Thank you for emailing the AirAction mailbox to request a Presidential Exemption under section 112(i)(4) of the Clean Air Act and for engaging with EPA in advancing President Trump's Executive Orders and Powering the Great American Comeback. We have received your email and will be in contact soon. If you have Confidential Business Information (CBI) that you'd like to submit, please submit it in electronic version to the OAQPS CBIgepa.gov inbox or in hardcopy to:

From: Joseph Bowen <jbowen@gri-aps.com> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2025 9:59 PM To: AirAction <AirAction@epa.gov> Subject: Sterilizer Rule (89 FR 24090): APS- Owned and Operated Facilities
I Caution: This email originated from outside EPA, please exercise additional caution when deciding whether to open attachments or click on provided links.
I write on behalf of APS- Advanced Product Solutions to request that the President issue a two-year exemption pursuant to his authority under CAA Section 112(i)(4) for all emission standards and associated requirements set or revised in EPA's April 4, 2024 National Emission Standardsfor Hazardous Air Pollutants: Ethylene Oxide Emissions Standardsfor Sterilization Facilities Residual Risk and Technology Review, 89 FR 24090 (April 5, 2024) (Sterilizer Rule).
APS requests that the Presidential Exemption apply to the following facilities regulated by the Sterilizer Rule and all sources therein:
APS- Advanced Product Solutions, 502 West Church Street Columbia, AL 36319
APS requests that the President issue a two-year exemption as quickly as possible, but designate it as taking effect on the compliance deadlines for the standards in the Sterilizer Rule. Specifically:
For standards set or revised under CAA Section 112(f) and all corresponding requirements (including monitoring requirements), the exemption should apply as of April 6, 2026 (the compliance deadline for those standards);
For standards set or revised under CAA Section 112(d) and all corresponding requirements (including monitoring requirements), the exemption should apply as of April 5, 2027 (the compliance deadlines for those standards).
As explained further in the attached letter submitted to EPA on March 17 on behalf of the Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Association (EOSA), the technology necessary to implement the standards is not available because manufacturers cannot guarantee that existing emissions control equipment will enable sources to meet the new standards; there is not a sufficient supply of the necessary technology; and there are not enough experienced installation professional and technical experts to install and test that equipment within the current compliance timeframes.
