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
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of data availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 17, 1993, EPA proposed standards to reduce the
discharge of water pollutants and emissions of hazardous air pollutants
from the pulp, paper, and paperboard industry (58 FR 66078). This
action announces the availability of additional data that EPA will
consider for the promulgation of hazardous air pollutant emission
standards for this industry.
DATES: Comments are not solicited at this time.
ADDRESSES: The data being announced today has been placed in Air Docket
A-92-40. The docket is available for public inspection and copying
between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the EPA Air Docket
Section, Waterside Mall, room M1500, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460. A reasonable fee may be
charged for copying.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Mark Najarian, Waste and Chemical
Processes Group, Emission Standards Division (MD-13), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 27711, telephone
number (919) 541-5393.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 17, 1993 (58 FR 66078), EPA
proposed standards to reduce the discharge of water pollutants and
emissions of hazardous air pollutants from the pulp, paper, and
paperboard industry. The period for receiving public comments on the
proposed rule ended on April 18, 1994; however, EPA stated in the
preamble to the proposed rule that various industry groups were
collecting air emissions data that would not be available until after
the comment period and that the Agency would still consider that data
for the promulgation of the air emission standards.
The additional data being announced today includes the following
items located in Air Docket A-92-40: (1) A 16-mill study conducted by
the National Council of the Paper Industry for Air and Stream
Improvement (NCASI), items II-I-77 through II-I-79, IV-D-8, IV-D1-20
through IV-D1-22, IV-J-1 through IV-J-4, IV-J-6 through IV-J-14, and
IV-J-16; (2) a 10-mill study conducted by International Paper, items
IV-J-18 through IV-J-27; (3) a 5-mill study conducted by the Texas
Paper Industry Environmental Committee, items II-I-13 to II-I-18; (4) a
condensate study, items IV-D1-16 and IV-D1-18. NCASI prepared summaries
of their testing program in NCASI technical bulletins, items IV-D1-29,
IV-D1-29A, IV-D1-31, IV-D1-33 through IV-D1-35, IV-D1-38, IV-D1-39, IV-
D1-41, and IV-D1-42. EPA has also prepared draft summaries of the NCASI
and Texas studies, items IV-A-2 and IV-A-3, respectively.
EPA is not soliciting comment on the new data at this time so that
the public will have an expanded opportunity to review the data. The
reports added to the Air Docket consist of multi-volume test reports
from numerous testing programs and summaries of two of the testing
programs. The Agency will solicit comment on these data in a subsequent
notice.
EPA also anticipates that additional data regarding both air
emissions and effluent discharges will be published after today's
notice. An additional announcement will be posted at a later date
presenting further data and soliciting comments of all announced data.
Dated: February 13, 1995.

Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
