ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[AD-FRL-5836-7]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed amendments to final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes amendments to the National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Final Standards for Hazardous 
Air Pollutant Emissions from Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations 
promulgated in the Federal Register on December 7, 1995 (60 FR 62930). 
This action proposes to revise the definition of wood furniture 
component to exclude foam seat cushions not made at a wood furniture 
manufacturing facility from this definition, and therefore, from the 
requirements of this national emission standards for hazardous air 
pollutants (NESHAP). Because the proposed revisions clarify the 
applicability of the final rule to eliminate potential overlapping 
requirements with other NESHAP, the EPA does not anticipate receiving 
adverse comments. Consequently, these proposed revisions also are being 
issued as a direct final rule in the final rules section of this 
Federal Register. If no significant and timely comments are received, 
no further action will be taken with respect to this proposal and the 
direct final rule will become final on the date provided in that 
action.

DATES: Comments on these proposed changes must be received on or before 
July 9, 1997. Anyone requesting a public hearing must contact the EPA 
no later than June 20, 1997. If a hearing is held, it will take place 
on July 7, 1997 beginning at 10:00 a.m.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may submit written comments (in 
duplicate, if possible) on the proposed changes to
