EPA Delays Boiler MACT Regulations

Dalton, GA, May 18, 2011--Flooring manufacturers achieved a significant victory May 16 when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced it will delay new regulations on industrial boilers and solid waste incinerators; these so-called Boiler MACT rules could mean significant costs for manufacturers.

CRI is working through the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to stay informed on the Boiler MACT issue.

The EPA’s decision only postpones the implementation of the rules, so manufacturers may still be required to adhere to these regulations in the future. NAM has indicated it will remain engaged on this issue, both with the Administration and Congress, so that manufacturers can focus on creating jobs and leading the economic recovery.
