On10 November 2003, EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for miscellaneous organic chemical manufacturing under the authority of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This action proposes clarifications to the compliance requirements for flares and the alternative standard, which limits the outlet concentration to 20 parts per million. This action proposes an expansion of the scope of the vapor balancing alternative for storage tanks, modifications to the procedures for correcting measured concentrations at the outlet of combustion devices to account for supplemental gases, and clarification of the signature requirements for the notification of compliance status report. This action also proposes revisions of several referencing and drafting errors. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are taking direct final action on the proposed amendments because we view the amendments as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse comments. We have explained our reasons for the amendments in the preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments, we will take no further action on the proposed amendments. If we receive adverse comments, we will withdraw only those provisions on which we received significant adverse comments. We will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register indicating which provisions will become effective and which provisions are being withdrawn. If part or all of the direct final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of today's Federal Register is withdrawn, all comments pertaining to the withdrawn provisions will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed amendments. We will not institute a second comment period before taking the subsequent final action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
