    Leather Tanning and Finishing Effluent Limitations Guidelines 
    Pretreatment Standards New and Existing Sources
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Proposed regulation.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to modify the pretreatment standards for 
    existing and new sources applicable to certain facilities in the 
    leather tanning and finishing point source category that conduct 
    unhairing operations and that discharge process wastewater to publicly 
    owned treatment works (``POTW''). In the final rules section of this 
    Federal Register, EPA is promulgating these changes as a ``direct'' 
    final rule because the Agency does not expect significant adverse or 
    critical comments. EPA also wants to provide prompt implementation of 
    the rule to minimize any potential hazards to worker safety and health 
    that may occur in the absence of this rule.
    
    DATES: Comments on the proposed rules must be received by September 6, 
    1996.
    
    ADDRESSES: Send comments in triplicate on this proposal to Mr. Ed 
    Terry, Engineering and Analysis Division (4303), U.S. EPA, 401 M St. 
    S.W., Washington, DC 20460.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ed Terry, Engineering and Analysis 
    Division (4303), U.S. EPA, 401 M St., S.W., Washington, DC 20460, or 
    telephone 202-260-7128.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
    final action which is located in the rules section of this Federal 
    Register.
