National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production

Samenvatting

The EPA is proposing to amend the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for Pesticide Active Ingredient (PAI) Production. This action changes the deadline for existing sources submitting precompliance plans. Rather than requiring the precompliance plans 6 months in advance of the compliance date, the amended rule will require the plans 3 months in advance. Under the promulgated rule, precompliance plans for existing sources would be due December 23, 2001. With this action, these plans will be due by March 23, 2002. In the "Rules and Regulations" section of this Federal Register, we are making this change in a direct final rule without prior proposal because we view it as minor and noncontroversial, and we anticipate no adverse comments. We have explained our reasons for this change in the preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments, we will take no further action on this proposed rule. If we receive an adverse comment on the revised definition, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule, and it will not take effect. If we receive adverse comment, we will respond to all such comments in a subsequent final rule ba
