Following
the

a
copy
of
this
notice
will
be

on
the
TTN's
policy

newly
proposed
or

rules

In

electronic
versions
of
all
these
proposed
NESHAP
that
are
affected
by
this
notice
are
also
currently
available
on
the
TTN
at

The
TTN
provides
information
and
technology
exchange
in
various
areas
of
air
pollution
control.
If

In
accordance
with
section
112(
e)(
1)
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA),
EPA
issued
a
schedule
for
promulgation
of
NESHAP
that
specified
that
the
NESHAP
for
Stationary
Combustion
Turbines,
Surface
Coating
of
Metal
Cans,
and
Primary
Magnesium
Refining
were
to
be
promulgated
as
final
rules
by
November
15,
2000.
We
are
now
considerably
past
that
date.
In
addition,
the
requirements
of
section
112(
j)
of
the
CAA
specify
that
all
sources
in
these
source
categories
must
submit
permit
applications
for
case­
by­
case
determinations
of
the
maximum
achievable
emissions
reductions
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
in
the
absence
of
a
final
rule.
It
is
imperative
that
these
proposed
rules
be
finalized
as
soon
as
possible
to
avoid
the
unnecessary
expenditure
of
resources
by
affected
sources
and
permitting
authorities.
The
proposed
NESHAP
were
signed
by
the
Administrator
on
November
26,
2002,
and
were
available
on
the
TTN
on
the
same
day.
Therefore,
the
proposed
NESHAP
have
been
widely
available
to
the
public
since
that
time.
We
do
not
anticipate
that
any
of
the
proposed
NESHAP
will
be
published
in
the
Federal
Register
prior
to
December
26,
2002.
If
we
allow
a
comment
period
of
30
days
from
actual
publication
in
the
Federal
Register,
the
proposed
NESHAP
will
still
have
been
widely
available
to
the
public
for
60
days
or
more.

Dated:
December
20,

R.
Holmstead,
Assistant
Administrator
for
Air
and
Radiation.

SUMMARY:
This
document
is
to
inform
the
public
of
a
correction
to
the
proposed
national
emission
standards
for
hazardous
air
pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
surface
coating
of
automobiles
and
light­
duty
trucks
that
were
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
December
24,
2002
(
67
FR
78612).
As
published,
written
comments
on
the
proposed
rule
were
to
be
submitted
to
EPA
on
or
before
February
7,
2003.
Today,
we
are
providing
notice
that
the
period
for
public
comment
is
being
extended
and
will
end
on
February
24,
2003
(
a
60­
day
public
comment
period).
Additionally,
the
December
24,
2002
Federal
Register
document
stated
that
if
anyone
contacts
EPA
requesting
to
speak
at
a
public
hearing,
they
should
do
so
by
January
3,
2003.
We
are
extending
the
period
to
request
a
public
hearing
to
January
13,
2003
(
20
days).
Finally,
the
Federal
Register
document
stated
that,
if
requested,
a
public
hearing
would
be
held
approximately
15
days
after
the
date
of
publication
of
the
notice
in
the
Federal
Register.
Today's
document
corrects
the
date
of
the
hearing.
It
will
be
held,
if
requested,
on
January
27,
2003
(
approximately
30
days
after
the
date
of
publication
of
the
proposal
in
the
Federal
Register).
