Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (Surface Coating) Operations—Amendment 
Abstract: On December 15, 1995, the EPA issued national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act for shipbuilding and ship repair (surface coating) operations. The NESHAP sets Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards for existing and new major sources of hazardous air pollutant emissions. This action is intended to more clearly state the distinction between and the definition of ship and pleasure craft. It is being issued in response to questions concerning whether yachts greater than 20 meters (78.7 feet) in length are ships and, therefore subject to the shipbuilding NESHAP. This proposed action will ensure that all activities such as pleasure vessels (yachts) intended to be subject to the NESHAP are in fact subject to it.
