SUMMARY: This notice establishes adoption and implementation dates for

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

published on May 20, 1996 for wood furniture manufacturing operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air 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 volatile organic compounds (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 Provisions

for the Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of

1990 (57 FR 18077). A CTG document for control of VOC emissions from

wood furniture manufacturing operations was made available to the

public through a Federal Register notice published on May 20, 1996 (61

FR 25223). 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 May 20, 1997. 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 May 20, 1998.

Dated: September 20, 1996.

Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation.
