National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories; Organic Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Other Processes Subject to the Negotiated Regulation for Equipment Leaks; Extension of Compliance

On October 24 and 28, 1994, EPA announced a partial 3-month stay and reconsideration of certain aspects of the ``National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry and Other Processes Subject to the Negotiated Regulation for Equipment Leaks'' 59 FR 19402 (April 22, 1994) and 59 FR 29196 (June 6, 1994) (collectively known as the ``hazardous organics NESHAP'' or the ``HON''). The EPA also proposed, pursuant to Clean Air Act section 301(a)(1), 42 U.S.C. 7601(a)(1), to extend temporarily the applicable compliance dates for sources subject to the stay, but only as necessary to complete the two reconsiderations (including appropriate regulatory action) of the rule in question. The EPA received no adverse public comment on either of the two proposed short-term compliance extensions. The EPA is extending the compliance dates until April 24, 1995. A short-term extension of this nature is well within the 3-year period allowed by the Act.
