CFR Citation: 40 CFR Part 63

OAR ID: [OAR-2002-0045--FRL-7495-6]

RIN ID: RIN 2060-AK53

NOTICE: RULES

ACTION: Air pollutants, hazardous; national emission standards:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Correcting administrative amendments; change in effective date.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills

DATES: Effective Dates: The revision of 40 CFR 63.14(i) and the removal of 40 CFR 63.14(j), published on February 18, 2003 (68 FR 7713) are effective May 8, 2003. The IBR amendments to 40 CFR 63.865(b), published on February 18, 2003 (68 FR 7716) are effective May 8, 2003. The IBR of certain publications in the NESHAP is approved by the Director of the Office of the Federal Register on May 8, 2003.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: On February 18, 2003, EPA published a direct final rule on the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and standalone semichemical pulp mills (68 FR 7706). The effective date of that direct final rule is May 19, 2003, and remain unchanged, except the amendment adding Incorporation by Reference (IBR) material which must, for administrative purposes, become effective prior to May 19, 2003. This correction moves up the effective date for that amendment, which affects the centralized IBR section for 40 CFR part 63. In addition, the IBR amendment included in the February 18 direct final rule added a new IBR addressing test method ANSI/ASME PTC 19.101981, Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus]; thus the effective date of this IBR material must also match the effective date of the centralized IBR section. This correction moves up the effective date in 40 CFR 63.865(b)(3) and 40 CFR 63.865(b)(5)(iii).

SUMMARY: Chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfate, and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills; Correction,
