(a) We have included all 15 carbon black major sources, with no additional new or reconstructed sources becoming subject to the rule over the next three years. This is a one-time cost incurred in the first year. | ||||||||||||||
(b) This is a one-time cost incurred only in year 1 as the rule requires facilities to perform initial performance testing on vents downstream the main unit filter (MUF) to determine applicability.
