Title: ●Compliance Date Extension; Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products
Abstract: On December 12, 2016, EPA published the final rule "Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products" to implement the Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act, which added title VI to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). EPA intends to issue a direct final rule and parallel proposed rule that would extend the TSCA title VI final rule compliance dates; including the December 12, 2017, date for emission standards, recordkeeping, and labeling provisions; and the December 12, 2018, date for import certification provisions. Additionally, this direct final rule and parallel proposal would extend the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Third Party Certifiers (TPC) transitional period under 40 CFR 770.7(d) which is currently set to end December 12, 2018.
