Effluent Limitations Guidelines, Pretreatment Standards, and New 
Source Performance Standards: Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Category; 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source 
Category: Pulp and Paper Production; Correction and Extension of 
Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rules; correction and extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is correcting minor errors in the preamble and effluent 
limitations guidelines and standards and the national emission 
standards for hazardous air pollutants for the pulp, paper, and 
paperboard production category, which appeared in the Federal Register 
on December 17, 1993 (58 FR 66078). EPA is also extending the comment 
period for an additional 30 days.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rules must be received by April 18, 
1994 at the following address.

ADDRESSES: Send comments in triplicate on the proposed rules to Ms. 
Marion Thompson, Engineering and Analysis Division (4303), U.S. EPA, 
401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:     Ms. Debra Nicoll at (202) 260-
5386.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on 
December 17, 1993 (58 FR 66078), EPA proposed effluent limitations 
guidelines and standards for the control of wastewater pollutants and 
also proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. 
The notice contained some minor errors that are discussed briefly below 
and are corrected by this notice.
    In addition, EPA recognizes that the record supporting the proposed 
rulemaking is large and complex. To better facilitate informed comment, 
the Agency is extending the comment period by 30 days for a new 
deadline of April 18, 1994.

    Dated: March 8, 1994.
Mary Nichols,
Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.

    Dated: March 4, 1994.
Robert Perciasepe,
Assistant Administrator for Water.

    The following corrections are made in FRL-4802-4, effluent 
limitations guidelines, pretreatment standards, and new source 
performance standards: pulp, paper, and paperboard category and 
national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for source 
category: pulp and paper production, which was published in the Federal 
Register on December 17, 1993 (58 FR 66078).
    1. On page 66086, third column, fifth paragraph, the first sentence
