Plywood and Composite Wood Products (PCWP) NESHAP:
low risk-subcategory Summary

"On June 19, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the Court) vacated EPA’s provisions in the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Plywood and Composite Wood Products that established an October 1, 2008, compliance deadline and that created and delisted a low risk subcategory of plywood and composite wood products facilities." (71 FR 61060) In other words, the compliance dates for existing sources is returned to the original 10/01/2007 and the low risk category is eliminated.

We will leave this section intact for now as reference.
