National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and 
Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Correcting administrative amendments; change in effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On February 18, 2003, EPA published a direct final rule on the 
national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for 
chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and 
stand-alone semichemical pulp mills (68 FR 7706). The effective date of 
that direct final rule is May 19, 2003, and remain unchanged, except 
the amendment adding Incorporation by Reference (IBR) material which 
must, for administrative purposes, become effective prior to May 19, 
2003. This correction moves up the effective date for that amendment, 
which affects the centralized IBR section for 40 CFR part 63. In 
addition, the IBR amendment included in the February 18 direct final 
rule added a new IBR addressing test method ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, 
Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus]; 
thus the effective date of this IBR material must also match the 
effective date of the centralized IBR section. This correction moves up 
the effective date in 40 CFR 63.865(b)(3) and 40 CFR 63.865(b)(5)(iii).

DATES: Effective Dates: The revision of 40 CFR 63.14(i) and the removal 
of 40 CFR 63.14(j), published on February 18, 2003 (68 FR 7713) are 
effective May 8, 2003. The IBR amendments to 40 CFR 63.865(b), 
published on February 18, 2003 (68 FR 7716) are effective May 8, 2003. 
The IBR of certain publications in the NESHAP is approved by the 
Director of the Office of the Federal Register on May 8, 2003.

administration of the IBR, contact Ms. Janet Eck, Coatings and Consumer
