ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 63
[AD-FRL-6419-6]
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Halogenated Solvent Cleaning
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes amendments to the ``National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Halogenated Solvent Cleaning''
promulgated in the Federal Register on December 2, 1994 (59 FR 61801).
This action proposes revisions concerning additional compliance options
for continuous web cleaning machines, as well as clarifications that
apply to steam-heated vapor cleaning machines and to cleaning machines
used to clean transformers. Because the proposed revisions ensure that
all owners or operators of solvent cleaning machines have appropriate
and attainable requirements for their cleaning machines, we do not
anticipate receiving adverse comments.
Consequently, these proposed revisions are also being issued as a
direct final rule in the ``Final Rules'' section of today's Federal
Register. If no significant and timely comments are received, no
further action will be taken with respect to this proposal and the
direct final rule will become final on the date provided in that
action.
DATES: Written comments on these proposed changes must be received by
September 20, 1999. Anyone requesting a public hearing must contact the
EPA no later than August 30, 1999. If a hearing is held, it will take
place on September 2, 1999 beginning at 10 a.m. Persons interested in
attending the hearing should call Ms. Janet Eck at (919) 541-7946 to
verify that a hearing will be held.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted (in duplicate, if
possible) to: Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center (MC-
6102), Attention Docket Number A-92-39, Room M-1500, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460. The EPA
requests that a separate copy of each public comment be sent to the
contact person listed below (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
