NPCA Convinces EPA to Withdraw Parts of Direct Final Rule for HAPs Limits
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on July 6 withdrew a portion of a direct final rule intended to give miscellaneous coatings manufacturers new alternatives for complying with emissions limits for hazardous air pollutants. The rule was published May 13 in the Federal Register (70 FR 38,780).
The withdrawal is in response to comments received from NPCA noting that EPA did not allow coatings manufacturers to use limits set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for toxic content.
