Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Secondary Lead Smelters; Amendments 
Abstract: These amendments will fix an inadvertent error that occurred when the Secondary Lead Smelting Residual Risk and Technology Review (RTR) was added to the eCFR. The final rule regulatory text for the RTR reproduced the entire subpart rather than only including amendatory text and used the same section numbers as the original National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). This was done to aid the public in locating and understanding the entire subpart in one location since many changes were made to the original rule. As a result, the entire subpart was replaced in the eCFR, removing the old sections and replacing them with the new versions. The compliance date for existing sources to meet the requirements of the RTR is January 6, 2014. The Agency intended for those sources to continue complying with the requirements included in the original NESHAP until the compliance date for the RTR amendments arrives. The eCFR no longer contains those requirements due to the inadvertent replacement of the entire subpart. These amendments will add a paragraph to the regulatory text that clarifies sources must continue complying with the requirements that were in effect prior to the RTR amendments until the compliance date for the RTR amendments arrives. Additionally, these amendments will correct typos in a table of dioxin/furan congeners in the regulatory text, correct an error in the total hydrocarbon testing requirements, and clarify certain provisions related to monitoring differential pressure.
