National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories: Pulp and Paper Production

概要

Under the authority of the Clean Air Act, as amended, the EPA has promulgated standards (63 FR 18504, April 15, 1998) to reduce hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from the pulp and paper production source category. This rule is known as the Pulp and Paper national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) and is the air component of the integrated air and water rules for the pulp and paper industry, commonly known as the Pulp and Paper Cluster Rules. The rule applies to pulp and paper production processes included under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 26. In this action, the EPA is proposing to amend certain regulatory text in the NESHAP regarding the Voluntary Advanced Technology Incentives Program. The EPA views the amendments to be noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. Consequently, the EPA also is publishing these amendments to the NESHAP as a direct final rule in the RULES AND REGULATIONS section of today's Federal Register publication. If no significant, adverse comments regarding the proposed amendments are received by the date specified in this document, then the EPA will take no further action with respect to this propo
