EL1 E SPICE For these reasons, we respectfully request that the EPA extend the compliance timeline to allow for a re-evaluation of the NESHAP and Pill regulations. This extension could help prevent foodborne disease outbreaks caused by insufficiently validated technologies or the outsourcing of vital food safety technologies to foreign companies, which could create a public safety vulnerability and potentially endanger the health of the American people. Additionally, it would provide the industry with sufficient time to assess new technologies and ensure that emissions control requirements do not unnecessarily compromise food safety efforts. Ethylene Oxide remains essential to public health by preventing foodborne illnesses. We appreciate EPA's consideration of the information provided and would be happy to answer any additional questions on the matter.
