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.
