Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Plywood and Composite Wood Products Residual Risk and Technology Review

Description: AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Final rule

SUMMARY: This action finalizes the residual risk and technology review (RTR) conducted for the Plywood and Composite Wood Products (PCWP) source category regulated under national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). In addition, the EPA is taking final action addressing periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM); adding electronic reporting; adding repeat emissions testing; and making technical and editorial changes. These final amendments include no revisions to the numerical emission limits in the rule based on the RTR. While the amendments do not result in reductions of emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), this action results in improved monitoring, compliance, and implementation of the rule.

DATES: This final rule is effective on 13 August 2020. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 13 August 2020. The incorporation by reference of certain other publications listed in the rule was approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 16 February 2006.
