Proclamation 10957

Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources To Promote American Chemical Manufacturing Security

This proclamation grants a 2-year exemption from certain EPA emissions-control requirements (the HON Rule) for specific chemical manufacturing facilities, citing national security interests and lack of commercially viable compliance technology. The exemption extends all HON Rule compliance deadlines by 2 years for stationary sources listed in Annex I, returning them to pre-HON Rule obligations during that period.
