National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions: Group I Polymers and Resins and Group IV Polymers and Resins
[Federal Register: November 25, 1996 (Volume 61, Number 228)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 59849-59852] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov]
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 63 [AD-FRL-5653-4] RIN 2060-AD-56 RIN 2060-AE-37 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions: Group I Polymers and Resins and Group IV Polymers and Resins AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR).
SUMMARY: The EPA intends to propose changes to the recently promulgated subpart U--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions: Group I Polymers and Resins; and subpart JJJ--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions: Group IV Polymers and Resins. The proposed changes to subparts U and JJJ will parallel proposed changes to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions for Source Categories: Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Other Processes Subject to the Negotiated Regulation for Equipment Leaks (commonly known as the Hazardous Organics NESHAP or HON).
Since HON regulations are directly referenced in subparts U and JJJ, the proposed changes to HON subparts F, G, and H will also apply to Group I and Group IV Polymers and Resins sources subject to subparts U and JJJ. In addition to direct cross-references, there are additional changes that the EPA plans to propose to subparts U and JJJ to provide consistency with the HON. The EPA also intends to extend the compliance date for heat exchange systems to September 5, 1999. DATES: Comments. Comments on this ANPR must be received by the EPA on or before December 26, 1996. ADDRESSES: Comments. Comments should be submitted (in duplicate, if possible) to the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center (6102), Attention: Docket No. A-92-44 (for Polymers and Resins I) and/ or A-92-45 (for Polymers and Resins IV), U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460. The dockets are located at the above address in room M-1500, Waterside Mall (ground floor), and may be inspected from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday; telephone number (202) 260-7548.
