National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; 
Proposed Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions From Wood 
Furniture Manufacturing Operations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is extending the period for public comment regarding 
the Agency's proposed standards for hazardous air pollutant emissions 
from wood furniture manufacturing operations.

DATES: Written comments on the proposed rule must be received on or 
before March 23, 1995. Written comments pertaining only to the proposed 
test Method 311 must be received on or before April 24, 1995. Comments 
should be submitted in duplicate, and on computer disk, if possible.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to: Air and Radiation Docket and Information 
Center (6102), Attention, Docket No. A-93-10, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460.
    Docket. Docket No. A-93-10, containing supporting information used 
in developing the proposed standards, is available for public 
inspection and copying between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
For information concerning the proposed standards, contact Dr. 
Madeleine Strum at (919) 541-2383, Coatings and Consumer Products 
Group, Emission Standards Division (MD-13), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711. For 
further information concerning the proposed test Method 311, contact 
Mr. Gary McAlister at (919) 541-1062, Source Categorization Group B, 
Emissions Monitoring and Analysis Division (MD-19), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 6, 1994, EPA published proposed 
standards to limit emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from 
existing and new wood furniture manufacturing operations located at 
major sources. The proposed standards implement section 112(d) of the 
Clean Air Act as amended, which require the Administrator to regulate 
emissions of HAP listed in section 112(b) of the Act. The EPA also 
proposed Method 311, to be used to assist in demonstrating compliance 
with the proposed emission limitations.
    The comment period was scheduled to close on February 21, 1995. 
Industry has requested a 60-day extension of the comment period to 
complete testing of the proposed test Method 311. In response to this 
request, the Agency is extending the comment period for the proposed 
Method 311 to April 24, 1995. The comment period for the proposed rule, 
however, will be extended by only 30 days, and is thus extended to 
March 23, 1995. All interested parties are encouraged to submit 
comments prior to that date.

    Dated: February 16, 1995.
Mary D. Nichols,
Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
