-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice establishes adoption and implementation dates for

reasonably available control technology (RACT) rules based on a CTG

published on November 15, 1993, for reactor processes and distillation

operations in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. William L. Johnson, Air Quality

Management Division (MD-15), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711, telephone (919) 541-5245.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (Act)

requires that States shall submit a revision to the applicable

implementation plan to include provisions to require the implementation

of RACT for each category of VOC sources in the area covered by a CTG

document issued by the Administrator after enactment of the Clean Air

Act Amendments of 1990. This revision shall be submitted within the

period set forth by the Administrator in the relevant CTG document.

This time table for States to submit RACT rules is further described in

section IV of appendix E, General Preamble for the Implementation of

Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (57 FR 18077). A CTG

document for control of volatile organic compound (VOC) process vent

emissions from synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry

reactor processes and distillation operations was made available to the

public through a Federal Register notice published on November 15, 1993

(58 FR 60197). Today's notice establishes the adoption and

implementation dates for RACT rules required to be developed in

response to this CTG.

Any State which has not adopted an approvable RACT rule for the

sources covered by this CTG must submit a RACT rule for these sources

before March 23, 1995. Furthermore, States must provide for sources to

install and operate the required control devices or implement the

required procedures under these RACT rules no later than November 15,

1996.

Dated: March 17, 1994.

Assistant Administrator.
