TO:
The

(

A
number
of
inadvertent
errors
were
made
in
the
process
of
preparing
the
signature
package
for
the
final
national
emission
standards
for
hazardous
air
pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
industrial,
commercial,
and
institutional
boilers
and
process
heaters
that
was
signed
on
February
26,
2004.
All
of
the
significant
corrections
are
listed
below.

Preamble:

°
Page

the
EFFECTIVE
DATE
section
was
revised
to
add
the
sentence
"
The

removed.
The
corresponding

prior

section

1st

removed.
The
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
requested
on
the
evening
before
signature
that
this
sentence
be
deleted.
We
agreed
to
this
deletion,
but
failed
to
remove
this
statement.

under

Incorporation

all
the
subparagraphs
were
renumbered

requested
by
the
Office
of
the

AFTER
DATE"
was
inserted
in
the
statement
"[
INSERT
THE
DATE
OF
PUBLICATION
OF
THE
FINAL
RULE
IN
THE
FEDERAL
REGISTER]."
As
stated
correctly
in
the
preamble,
the
effective
date
of
the
final
rule
is
60
days
after
publication
and
not
the
date
of
publication.

°
Page

§
63.7499(
b)
was
removed.
The
paragraph
"
If
you
change
an
existing
boiler
or
process
heater
in
the
large
solid
fuel
subcategory
such
that
its
applicable

also
changes,
and
the
change
does
not
meet
the
definition
of
reconstruction
as
defined
in
subpart
A
of
this
part,
you
may
choose

meet

limits

original
large
solid
fuel
subcategory."
was
originally
included
to
address
provisions
in
the
emission
averaging
compliance
alternative.
When
we
removed
the
provisions
in
emission
averaging
which
allowed
averaging
between
subcategories,
we
failed
to
remove
this
paragraph
in
§
63.7499.
This
provision
serves
no
purpose
other
than
to
facilitate
averaging
between
subcategories.
Since
we
clearly
intended
to
change
the
rule
language
so
as
to
preclude
averaging
between
subcategories,
the
failure
to
remove
this
provision
was
indeed
3
an
inadvertent
error.
