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

On April 10, 1995, the EPA amended certain portions of the ``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.'' This rule is commonly known as the Hazardous Organic NESHAP or the HON. In that action, the EPA revised the rule to provide a deferral of HON requirements for source owners or operators who wish to make an area source certification and to establish minimum documentation requirements. This action revises the date for submittal of those area source certifications and clarifies the wording of the documentation requirements. This action is being taken because the EPA has learned that sufficient time was not provided to prepare the certifications and that some confusion exists regarding the required documentation. This action also extends the April 22, 1996 deadline for submittal of implementation plans for emission points not included in an emissions average to December 31, 1996. The deadline for submitting these plans is being extended because the EPA anticipates making further revisions to the rule in the near future that could affect the contents of the implementation plan. In light of this, the EPA thinks it is appropriate to delay this report until there is greater certainty regarding the compliance requirements.
