Subject: Summary of Presidential Exemption Request for Smith Industries Facilities To: airactionAepa.gov Dear EPA Team, I hope this email finds you well. Please find below a summary of the attached letter regarding Smith Industries' request for a Presidential Exemption under the Clean Air Act. Summary: Smith Industries, through its counsel, is requesting a Presidential Exemption under Section 112(i)(4) of the Clean Air Act for its recycling facilities, Joseph Smith and Sons (JSS) and Recovermat, located in Maryland. The exemption seeks relief from compliance with VOC emissions standards for up to four years due to the unavailability of required technology and the critical role these operations play in national security and economic stability. Key Points: Technology Unavailability: The current technology to meet the required VOC reduction standards is not available for the specific operations of JSS and Recovermat. The emission factors used by the EPA are based on outdated data, leading to an overestimation of potential emissions. Sierra Club FOIA 2025-EPA-04883 ED_018388_00005524-00001 SC_EVERSPLIT0005407
