National Emission Standards for Aerospace Manufacturing and 
Rework Facilities Risk and Technology Review; Clarification

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
amend the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
(NESHAP) for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities. In the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are 
clarifying the compliance date for the handling and storage of waste as 
a direct final rule without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no 
significant and relevant adverse comment, we will not take further 
action on this proposed rule.

DATES: Written comments must be received by September 2, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2014-0830, at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the Web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

I. General Information

A. Why is the EPA issuing this proposed rule?

    This document proposes to take action on the NESHAP for Aerospace 
Manufacturing and Rework Facilities. We have published a direct final 
rule to clarify the compliance date for the handling and storage of 
waste in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register 
because we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no 
significant and relevant adverse comment. We have explained our reasons 
for this action in the preamble to the direct final rule.
    If we receive no significant and relevant adverse comment, we will 
not take further action on this proposed rule. If we receive 
significant and relevant adverse comment, we will withdraw the direct 
final rule and it will not take effect. We would address all public 
comments in any subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. 
For further information, please see the information provided in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.

B. Does this action apply to me?
