Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. hereby requests a two-year Presidential exemption in accordance with CAA 112(i)(4) for Cleveland-Cliffs Burns Harbor LLC; Cleveland-Cliffs Cleveland Works LLC, Warren Location; and Cleveland-Cliffs Monessen Coke LLC from compliance with the standards and limitations in the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Coke Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks, and Coke Oven Batteries; Residual Risk and Technology Review, and Periodic Technology Review, 89 Fed.
