National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Source Categories: Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Synthetic 
Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Other Processes Subject to 
the Negotiated Regulation for Equipment Leaks

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to correct errors and clarify regulatory 
text of the ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
for Source Categories: Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants from the 
Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Other Processes 
Subject to the Negotiated Regulation for Equipment Leaks,'' which was 
issued as a final rule on April 22, 1994 and June 6, 1994. This rule is 
commonly known as the Hazardous Organic NESHAP or the HON. Because the 
revisions merely correct errors and clarify regulatory text the Agency 
does not anticipate receiving adverse comments. Consequently the 
revisions are also being issued as a direct final rule in the final 
rules section of this Federal Register. If no significant adverse 
comments are timely 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. Comments must be received on or before May 10, 1995, 
unless a hearing is requested by April 20, 1995. If a hearing is 
requested, written comments must be received by May 25, 1995.
    Public Hearing. Anyone requesting a public hearing must contact the 
EPA no later than April 20, 1995. If a hearing is held, it will take 
place on April 25, 1995, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

ADDRESSES: Comments. Comments should be submitted (in duplicate, if 
possible) to: Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center (6102), 
Attention Docket Number A-90-20 (see docket section below), room M-
1500, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, 
Washington, D.C. 20460. The EPA requests that a separate copy also be 
sent to the contact person listed below.
    Public Hearing. If a public hearing is held, it will be held at the 
EPA's Office of Administration Auditorium, Research Triangle Park, 
North Carolina. Persons interested in attending the hearing or wishing 
to present oral testimony should notify Mrs. Kim Teal, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, N.C. 27711, 
telephone (919) 541-5580.
    Docket. Dockets No. A-90-20 and A-89-10, containing the supporting 
information for the original NESHAP and this action, are available for 
public inspection and copying between 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday 
through Friday, at the EPA's Air and Radiation Docket and Information 
Center, Waterside Mall, room M-1500, first floor, 401 M Street SW, 
Washington, DC 20460, or by calling (202) 260-7548 or 260 -7549. A 
reasonable fee may be charged for copying.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Janet S. Meyer, Emission Standards 
Division (MD-13), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air 
Quality Planning and Standards, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 
27711, telephone number (919) 541-5254.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are 
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to 
this proposed rule and the direct final rule in the final rules section 
of this Federal Register will automatically go into effect on the date 
specified in that rule. If significant adverse comments are timely 
received on any provision, that provision of the direct final rule will 
be withdrawn and all public comment received on that provision will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the relevant portions of 
this proposed rule. Because the Agency will not institute a second 
comment period on this proposed rule, any parties interested in 
commenting should do so during this comment period.
    For further supplemental information, the detailed rationale, and 
the rule provisions, see the information provided in the direct final 
rule in the [[Page 18079]] final rules section of this Federal 
Register.

Executive Order 12866 Review

    The HON rule promulgated on April 22, 1994 was considered 
``significant'' under Executive Order 12866 and a regulatory impact 
analysis (RIA) was prepared. Today's proposed revisions clarify the 
rule and do not add any additional control requirements. The EPA 
believes that these revisions would have a negligible impact on the 
results of the RIA and the change is considered to be within the 
uncertainty of the analysis.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 requires the identification 
of potentially adverse impacts of Federal regulations upon small 
business entities. The Act specifically requires the completion of a 
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis in those instances where small business 
impacts are possible. Because this rulemaking imposes no adverse 
economic impacts, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis has not been 
prepared.
