Emissions from Refinery Flares (CM# CMB - 07)

Proposed rule will take the first step of a two-step approach to potential flare emissions reduction by gathering data on flaring operations at petroleum refineries to assess the need for, or the level of, any future controls to reduce flare emissions.

If the data demonstrates a need to control flaring operations, step two of the rule will be to develop specific control requirements to reduce flare emissions.
