Regulatory Relief for Certain Stationary Sources to Promote American Iron Ore Processing Security

The order directs the Environmental Protection Agency to exempt certain stationary sources involved in taconite iron ore processing from compliance with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Taconite Iron Ore Processing rule for a period of two years. This exemption applies due to the current lack of commercially viable technology necessary to implement and comply with the rule. The facilities affected include those operated by United States Steel Corporation and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., among others.
