Final National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines

In compliance with settlement agreements, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized revisions to emission standards for stationary engines that generate electricity and power equipment at industrial, agricultural, oil and gas production, power generation and other facilities..

The final amendments to the 2010 “National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE)” reflect new technical information submitted by stakeholders after the 2010 standards were issued. The updates are intended to ensure that the standards are cost-effective, achievable, and protective, while continuing to provide significant emission reductions.

The amendments also specify how the standards apply to emergency engines used for emergency demand response.
