2060-AU87 202010 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2060 Office of Air and Radiation OAR 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces Amendment

In this action, EPA intends to finalize its decision regarding the proposed changes to the Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters and New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces. In response to the situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic, on May 22, 2020, EPA published a proposed rule which proposes to allow retailers to sell affected Step 1 compliant new residential wood heaters and new residential hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces that are manufactured or imported before the May 15, 2020, compliance date to be sold at retail through November 30, 2020. This replacement sales period would allow retailers to recover comparable sales opportunities lost due to the pandemic for the sale of Step 1” compliant wood heaters, hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces remaining in inventory.
