        <RULE_TITLE>Revision of New Source Performance Standards for New Residential Wood Heaters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA is revising the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for residential wood heaters under the Clean Air Act section 111(b)(1)(B). This action is necessary because it updates the 1988 NSPS to reflect significant advancements in wood heater technologies and design, broaden the range of residential wood heating appliances covered by the regulation, and improve and streamline implementation procedures. This rule is expected to require manufacturers to redesign wood heaters to be cleaner and lower emitting. In general, the design changes will also make the heaters perform better and be more efficient. The revisions are also expected to retain the requirement for manufacturers to contract for testing of model lines by third-party independent laboratories, report the results to EPA, and label the models accordingly. This action does not apply to existing residential woodstoves, pellet stoves and other residential biomass heating units.]]></ABSTRACT>
