Techniques Guidelines Document: Reactor Processes and Distillation 
Operations Processes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Addendum to control techniques guidelines (CTG) document.

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

SUMMARY: This notice establishes adoption and implementation dates for 
reasonably available control technology (RACT) rules based on a CTG 
published on November 15, 1993, for reactor processes and distillation 
operations in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. William L. Johnson, Air Quality 
Management Division (MD-15), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711, telephone (919) 541-5245.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (Act) 
requires that States shall submit a revision to the applicable 
implementation plan to include provisions to require the implementation 
of RACT for each category of VOC sources in the area covered by a CTG 
document issued by the Administrator after enactment of the Clean Air 
Act Amendments of 1990. This revision shall be submitted within the 
period set forth by the Administrator in the relevant CTG document. 
This time table for States to submit RACT rules is further described in 
section IV of appendix E, General Preamble for the Implementation of 
Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (57 FR 18077). A CTG 
document for control of volatile organic compound (VOC) process vent 
emissions from synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry 
reactor processes and distillation operations was made available to the 
public through a Federal Register notice published on November 15, 1993 
(58 FR 60197). Today's notice establishes the adoption and 
implementation dates for RACT rules required to be developed in 
response to this CTG.
    Any State which has not adopted an approvable RACT rule for the 
sources covered by this CTG must submit a RACT rule for these sources 
before March 23, 1995. Furthermore, States must provide for sources to 
install and operate the required control devices or implement the 
required procedures under these RACT rules no later than November 15, 
1996.

    Dated: March 17, 1994.
Mary Nichols,
Assistant Administrator.
