National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Polyether Polyols Production; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects errors in the preamble and regulatory
text for the ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Polyether Polyols Production'' which was published in the Federal
Register on September 4, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Svendsgaard; Organic
Chemicals Group, Emission Standards Division (MD-13), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
27711, telephone number (919) 541-2380.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Corrections to the Preamble
In proposed rule FR Doc. 97-22364, beginning on page 46804 in the
issue of September 4, 1997, make the following correction in the
Supplementary Information section. On page 46805 in the first column,
replace the first and second paragraphs of the column with the
following:
``The Basis and Purpose Document, which contains the rationale for
the various components of the standard, is available in the docket and
on the TTN. This document is entitled Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions
from the Production of Polyether Polyols--Basis and Purpose Document
for Proposed Standards, May 1997, and has been assigned document number
EPA-453/R-97-010a.
Other materials related to this rulemaking are also available for
review in the docket. Some of the technical memoranda have been
compiled into a single document, the Supplementary Information Document
(SID), to allow interested parties more convenient access to the
information. The SID is entitled Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions from
the Production of Polyether Polyols-- Supplementary Information
Document for Proposed Standards, May 1997, and has been assigned
document number EPA-453/R-97-010c.''
In the same proposed rule document, under Discussion of Major
Issues, on page 46815 in the second column, replace the second sentence
of the second paragraph with the following:
``The approach used for determining these emission factors is
explained in Docket No. A-96-38, Item No. II-B-6.''
Corrections to the Regulatory Text
In the same proposed rule document, in section 63.1423(b), on page
46824 in the second column, replace the definition for Group 1
wastewater stream with the following:
``Group 1 wastewater stream means a process wastewater stream at an
existing or new affected source that meets the criteria for Group 1
status in Sec. 63.132(c) of subpart G, with the exceptions listed in
Sec. 63.1433(a)(10) for the purposes of this subpart (i.e., for organic
HAP listed on Table 4 of this subpart only).''
In the same proposed rule document, in section 63.1423(b), on page
46826 in the first column, replace the definition for Wastewater with
the following:
``Wastewater means water that: (1) Contains either (a) an annual
average concentration of organic HAP listed in Table 4 of this subpart
of at least 5 parts per million by weight and has an annual average
flow rate of 0.02 liter per minute or greater or (b) an annual average
concentration of organic HAP listed on Table 4 of this subpart of at
least 10,000 parts per million by weight at any flow rate, and that (2)
is discarded from a PMPU that is part of an affected source. Wastewater
is process wastewater or maintenance wastewater.''
In the same proposed rule document, under Process Vent Control
Requirements, on page 46827 in the second column, replace section
63.1425(d) with the following:
``Requirements for Nonepoxide Organic HAP Emissions From Catalyst
Extraction. The owner or operator of an existing affected source where
polyether polyol products are produced using epoxide compounds shall
reduce emissions of nonepoxide organic HAP from the sum total of all
process vents associated with catalyst extraction by an aggregated 90
percent for each PMPU. The owner or operator of a new affected source
where polyether polyol products are produced using epoxide compounds
shall reduce emissions of nonepoxide organic HAP from the sum total of
all process vents associated with catalyst extraction by an aggregated
98 percent for each PMPU. A PMPU that does not use any nonepoxide
organic HAP in catalyst extraction is exempt from the requirements of
this paragraph.''
In the same proposed rule document, under Wastewater Provisions, on
page 46843 in the first and second columns, replace section
63.1433(a)(2) with the following:
``When Secs. 63.132 through 63.149 of subpart G refer to table 9 or
table 36 of subpart G, the owner or operator shall only consider
organic HAP listed in table 9 or table 36 of subpart G that are also
listed on table 4 of this subpart, for the purposes of this subpart.
Owners and operators are exempt from all requirements in Secs. 63.132
through 63.149 of subpart G that pertain solely and exclusively to
organic HAP listed on table 8 of subpart G. In addition, when
Secs. 63.132 through 63.149 of subpart G refer to List 1, List 2, and/
or List 3, as listed in table 36 of subpart G, the owner or operator
shall only consider organic HAP contained in those lists that are also
listed on table 4 of this subpart, for the purposes of this subpart.''
