    SUMMARY: On December 17, 1993, EPA proposed standards to reduce the 
    discharge of water pollutants and emissions of hazardous air pollutants 
    from the pulp, paper, and paperboard industry (58 FR 66078). This 
    action announces the availability of additional data that EPA will 
    consider for the promulgation of hazardous air pollutant emission 
    standards for this industry.
    
    DATES: Comments are not solicited at this time.
    
    ADDRESSES: The data being announced today has been placed in Air Docket 
    A-92-40. The docket is available for public inspection and copying 
    between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the EPA Air Docket 
    Section, Waterside Mall, room M1500, U.S. Environmental Protection 
    Agency, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460. A reasonable fee may be 
    charged for copying.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Mark Najarian, Waste and Chemical 
    Processes Group, 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) 541-5393.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 17, 1993 (58 FR 66078), EPA 
    proposed standards to reduce the discharge of water pollutants and 
    emissions of hazardous air pollutants from the pulp, paper, and 
    paperboard industry. The period for receiving public comments on the 
    proposed rule ended on April 18, 1994; however, EPA stated in the 
    preamble to the proposed rule that various industry groups were 
    collecting air emissions data that would not be available until after 
    the comment period and that the Agency would still consider that data 
    for the promulgation of the air emission standards.
        The additional data being announced today includes the following 
    items located in Air Docket A-92-40: (1) A 16-mill study conducted by 
    the National Council of the Paper Industry for Air and Stream 
    Improvement (NCASI), items II-I-77 through II-I-79, IV-D-8, IV-D1-20 
    through IV-D1-22, IV-J-1 through IV-J-4, IV-J-6 through IV-J-14, and 
    IV-J-16; (2) a 10-mill study conducted by International Paper, items 
    IV-J-18 through IV-J-27; (3) a 5-mill study conducted by the Texas 
    Paper Industry Environmental Committee, items II-I-13 to II-I-18; (4) a 
    condensate study, items IV-D1-16 and IV-D1-18. NCASI prepared summaries 
    of their testing program in NCASI technical bulletins, items IV-D1-29, 
    IV-D1-29A, IV-D1-31, IV-D1-33 through IV-D1-35, IV-D1-38, IV-D1-39, IV-
    D1-41, and IV-D1-42. EPA has also prepared draft summaries of the NCASI 
    and Texas studies, items IV-A-2 and IV-A-3, respectively.
        EPA is not soliciting comment on the new data at this time so that 
    the public will have an expanded opportunity to review the data. The 
    reports added to the Air Docket consist of multi-volume test reports 
    from numerous testing programs and summaries of two of the testing 
    programs. The Agency will solicit comment on these data in a subsequent 
    notice.
        EPA also anticipates that additional data regarding both air 
    emissions and effluent discharges will be published after today's 
    notice. An additional announcement will be posted at a later date 
    presenting further data and soliciting comments of all announced data.
    
        Dated: February 13, 1995.
    Richard D. Wilson,
    Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
