EPA is taking direct final action on amendments to the paints and allied products manufacturing area source rule. With this direct final rule, EPA is amending the definition of "material containing hazardous air pollutants." It was not EPA's intent to omit the part of this definition that addresses non-carcinogens, and this omission could potentially and erroneously include facilities as applicable to the rule when they should not be covered. This action clarifies text of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing Area Source Standards which was published on December 3, 2009. This action will not change the level of health protection the final rule provides or the standards and other requirements established by the rule.
