EPA/OCSPP RIN: 2070-AJ92 Publication ID: Fall 2015 
Title: Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood Products 
Abstract:

This entry addressed one of two rulemakings that have now been combined into a single entry under RIN 2070-AJ44. As noted in the previously published Regulatory Agenda entry for each rulemaking, EPA has decided to issue a single final rule that addresses both of the 2013 proposals. Therefore, this action is being withdrawn as a separate entry because it has been combined and is now included under the entry entitled "Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood Products " (RIN 2070-AJ44).
