Technical Issues--Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products (10 page(s), in English)

EPA is proposing to amend the regulations promulgated in a final rule that published in the Federal Register on 12 December 2016, concerning formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products. EPA is publishing these proposed amendments to address certain technical issues and to further align the final rule requirements with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Airborne Toxic Control Measures (ATCM) Phase II program. Addressing these technical issues would add clarity for regulated entities. These revisions to the existing rule would also streamline compliance programs and help to ensure continued smooth transitions for supply chains to comply with the requirements associated with regulated composite wood products.
