        <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 new residential wood heaters. 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 would 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. New residential hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces and new residential masonry heaters would also be regulated by this action. These standards would apply only to new residential wood heaters and not to existing residential wood heating appliances.]]></ABSTRACT>
