42 U.S.C. § 7513b — Issuance of RACM and BACM guidance

The Administrator must issue technical guidance on "reasonably available control measures" and "best available control measures" — ways to reduce pollution — for three source types: urban fugitive dust, emissions from residential wood combustion (including any curtailments and exemptions from those curtailments), and prescribed silvicultural and agricultural burning. This guidance must follow the same manner and procedure used for guidance issued under section 7408(c), and must come out no later than 18 months after November 15, 1990. The Administrator must also examine other categories of sources contributing to nonattainment of the PM-10 standard, decide whether they need additional guidance on reasonably available or best available control measures, and issue any needed guidance no later than 3 years after November 15, 1990. In issuing this guidance and making these determinations, the Administrator must consult with the state and take into account emission reductions already achieved, or expected to be achieved, under subchapter IV-A and other provisions of this chapter.
