I'm not sure we will need to mention the 112(i)(4) provision ... see below from the MATS fact sheet prepared for the "Deregulatory Actions" press release.
Fact Sheet - Reconsideration of Mercury and Air Toxics Standards
Clean Air Act Section 112(i)(4) states the President of the United States may grant up to a 2-year exemption from compliance obligations for any source if the President finds that "the technology to implement such standard is not available and that is in the national security interests of the United States to do so."
Any source interested in a Presidential exemption, should provide their recommendations to EPA by March 31, 2025.
Sources need only provide why technology is unavailable and why it is in the national security interests of the United States to provide the exemption.

But she intends to run that by Peter to see what he thinks. So, I think we should, at least initially, start to think through those arguments .. . until we hear otherwise. Nick
