Domestic manufacturing is critical to our economy and national security. The U.S. lead battery industry has an annual economic impact of $26.3 billion. For every $1.00 spent in manufacturing, there is a total impact of $2.68 on the overall U.S. economy. North American manufacturers meet more than 90 percent of domestic demand for lead batteries. This …
1. NSPS The EPA has found through the BSER review for this source category that there are 40 existing lead acid battery manufacturing facilities subject to the NSPS for Lead-Acid Battery Manufacturing Plants at 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK.
The lead acid battery manufacturing source category consists of facilities engaged in producing lead acid batteries. The EPA first promulgated new source performance standards for lead acid battery manufacturing on April 16, 1982.
The EPA also set GACT standards for the lead acid battery manufacturing source category on July 16, 2007. These standards are codified in 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP, and are applicable to existing and new affected facilities.
Through this review, we discovered that no lead acid battery manufacturing facilities currently conduct lead reclamation as the process is defined in 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK. However, there was mention of lead reclamation equipment in the operating permits for two facilities, and that equipment is controlled with fabric filters.
The EPA estimates that, of the 40 existing lead acid battery manufacturing facilities in the U.S., all are subject to the NSPS, and 39 facilities are subject to the NESHAP. One facility is a major source as defined under CAA section 112 and is therefore not subject to the area source GACT standards.
Industrial batteries include those used for uninterruptible power supplies and other backup power applications, and traction batteries are used to power electric vehicles such as forklifts. The lead acid battery manufacturing process begins with grid casting operations, which entails stamping or casting lead into grids.

to the 2007 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Lead Acid Battery (LAB) Manufacturing Area Sources. In addition, the action finalizes a new subpart (subpart KKa) under New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), which updates the 1982 Standards of Performance for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Plants (subpart KK).
On February 23, 2022 (87 FR 10134), the EPA proposed revisions to the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Area Source NESHAP based on our technology review (TR) and proposed a new NSPS subpart based on the best systems of emission reduction (BSER) review. In this action, we are finalizing decisions and revisions for the rules.
