National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From Secondary Lead Smelting

This action amends the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing secondary lead smelters. Changes to the NESHAP are being made to address comments received following promulgation of the final rule. Four changes are being made. Two are minor typographical corrections, while two are substantive corrections. The EPA is making these amendments as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no significant adverse comments. The EPA is also proposing these amendments in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register. This rule will become effective without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant adverse comment on the parallel notice of proposed rulemaking within 30 days of today's document. Should the Agency receive such comments, it will publish a document informing the public that this rule did not take effect. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on the proposal. Any parties interested in commenting on the amendments should do so at this time.
