A.What action is theagency taking?

代理商采取什么行动？

EPA is issuing a final rule that implements TSCATitle VI. The final rule includes provisions on labeling; chain of custodyrequirements; sell-through provisions; ultra low-emitting formaldehyde resins (ULEF);no-added formaldehyde-based resins (NAF); finished goods; third-party testingand certification; auditing and reporting of third-party certifiers (TPCs);recordkeeping; enforcement; laminated products; and exceptions from regulatoryrequirements for products and components containing de minimis amounts of composite wood products. The final ruleincorporates the emission standards established by TSCA Title VI for hardwoodplywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and particleboard, and products containingthese composite wood materials, that are sold, supplied, offered for sale, ormanufactured (defined by statute to include import) in the United States.

EPA正在发布实施TSCAVI的最终规则。最终规则包括有关标签的规定；监管链要求；销售规定；超低排放甲醛树脂（ULEF）；不添加甲醛基树脂（NAF）；完成品；第三方测试和认证；第三方认证机构（TPC）的审核和报告；保持记录；执法；层压制品；以及含有最少数量的复合木制品的产品和组件的法规要求的例外情况。最终规则包含了TSCAVI建立的针对硬木胶合板，中密度纤维板（MDF）和刨花板的排放标准，以及包含，提供，出售，或在美国制造（由法规定义为包括进口）的产品。

The emission standards established by TSCA Title VIare not altered in this final rule. The requirements in this final rule areconsistent, to the extent EPA deemed appropriate and practical considering TSCATitle VI, with the requirements currently in effect in California under theCalifornia Air Resources Board's (CARB) Air Toxics Control Measure to ReduceFormaldehyde Emissions from Composite Wood Products (ATCM) (Ref. 1).

由TSCAVI建立的排放标准在此最终规则中未更改。在考虑到TSCA第六章的EPA认为适当和可行的范围内，此最终规则中的要求是一致的，符合加利福尼亚州空气资源委员会（CARB）的“减少复合木制品（ATCM）甲醛排放的空气毒物控制措施”中目前在加利福尼亚州生效的要求（参考资料1）。

Under this final rule, the definition of hardwoodplywood exempts laminated products made by attaching a wood or woody grassveneer to a compliant core or platform with a phenol-formaldehyde resin or aresin formulated with no added formaldehyde as part of the resin cross-linkingstructure. To be eligible for the exemption, laminated product producers mustmaintain records demonstrating eligibility for the exemption.

根据该最终规则，硬木胶合板的定义不包括通过将木质或木质草木贴面与酚醛树脂或不添加甲醛作为树脂交联的一部分配制的树脂连接到顺应性芯或平台上而制成的层压产品结构体。

为了有资格获得豁免，层压产品生产商必须保留记录以证明有资格获得豁免。

This final rule establishes the manufactured-bydate for composite wood products at December 12, 2017. After this date,hardwood plywood made with either a combination core or a veneer core,particleboard, and MDF must be manufactured (including imported) in compliancewith the provisions of this final rule. This final rule establishes themanufactured-by date for laminated products at December 12, 2023. Before thatdate, laminated product producers must use compliant composite wood productplatforms and comply with the recordkeeping and labeling requirements forfabricators. After that date, laminated products that are exempt from thedefinition of hardwood plywood must also keep, as a condition of the exemption,records demonstrating eligibility for the exemption. Other laminated productswill have to be made in compliance with the testing and TPC certificationrequirements for hardwood plywood.

此最终规则确定复合木制品的生产截止日期为2017年12月12日。在此日期之后，必须按照本最终规则的规定制造（包括进口）由组合芯或单板芯，刨花板和MDF制成的硬木胶合板。此最终规则将层压产品的生产日期定为2023年12月12日。在此日期之前，层压产品生产商必须使用合规的复合木制品平台，并遵守制造商的记录保存和标签要求。在此日期之后，不受硬木胶合板定义豁免的层压制品还必须保留证明其符合豁免条件的记录。其他层压产品必须符合硬木胶合板的测试和TPC认证要求。

Table 1 is a summary of the regulatory requirementsby regulated entity. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list ofrequirements, nor is it intended to replace the provisions of the regulatorytext. For specific information on any of these requirements, interested personsshould consult the referenced regulatory provisions. Entities who fit into morethan one category must comply with the requirements for all applicablecategories. For example, an importer of composite wood product panels who alsofabricates finished goods must comply with the requirements for importers andthe requirements for fabricators.

表1汇总了受监管实体的监管要求。这并不是要详尽列出要求，也不是要取代法规文本的规定。有关这些要求中任何一项的特定信息，有兴趣的人应查阅所引用的法规规定。

属于多个类别的实体必须符合所有适用类别的要求。例如，复合木制品面板的进口商也要制造成品，则必须符合进口商的要求和制造商的要求。

This final rule also establishes an EPA TSCA TitleVI Third-Party Certification Program to ensure that composite wood panelproducers comply with the statutory formaldehyde emission limits. Under the EPATSCA Title VI Third-Party Certification Program, TPCs will regularly inspectcomposite wood panel producers, and conduct, oversee, and verify formaldehydeemissions tests. TPCs who wish to participate in the EPA TSCA Title VIThird-Party Certification Program must apply to EPA for approval and receiverecognition from EPA before certifying products under this rule. Therequirements for TPCs to receive EPA recognition include being accredited byEPA-recognized accreditation bodies (ABs) to specific voluntary consensusstandards and to the regulatory requirements in this rule. In addition, TPCsapproved by CARB are eligible for EPA TSCA Title VI recognition throughreciprocity, provided that they meet all applicable requirements. Existing CARBTPCs and TPCs approved by CARB during the two-year transition period that arerecognized by EPA may certify composite wood products under TSCA Title VI untilDecember 12, 2018. After that time, EPA will only recognize TPCs, includingCARB-approved TPCs, who are accredited by EPA-recognized ABs.

该最终规则还建立了EPA TSCA第六章第三方认证计划，以确保复合木板的生产商遵守法定的甲醛排放限制。根据EPA TSCA第六章第三方认证计划，TPC将定期检查复合木板生产商，并进行，监督和验证甲醛排放测试。希望参与EPA TSCA第六章第三方认证计划的TPC必须先向EPA申请批准，并获得EPA的认可，然后才能根据此规则对产品进行认证。

TPC要获得EPA认可，要求包括获得EPA认可的认可机构（ABs）认可的特定自愿性共识标准和本规则中的法规要求。此外，CARB批准的TPC只要符合所有适用要求，就可以通过互惠获得EPA TSCATitle VI认可。EPA认可的现有CARB TPC和在两年过渡期内获得CARB批准的，经EPA认可的TPC可以在TSCA第六章下对复合木制品进行认证，直至2018年12月12日。在那之后，EPA将仅认可由EPA认可的AB认可的TPC，包括CARB批准的TPC。

Under this final rule, composite wood products mustbe certified by an EPA TSCA Title VI TPC. To obtain and maintain certification,panel producers must establish quality assurance/quality control programs,conduct regular quality control testing of product emissions, and have anEPA-recognized TPC conduct or oversee quarterly formaldehyde emissions testing.Composite wood products made with NAF-based or ULEF resins may be eligible forreduced testing and/or a limited exemption from TPC oversight after an initialtesting period of three months, for NAF, or six months, for ULEF.

根据此最终规则，复合木制品必须经过EPA TSCAVI TPC的认证。为了获得并保持认证，面板生产商必须建立质量保证/质量控制计划，对产品排放进行定期质量控制测试，并具有EPA认可的TPC行为或监督季度甲醛排放测试。用NAF或ULEF树脂制成的复合木制品在最初的三个月NAF或六个月ULEF的初始测试期后，可能有资格减少测试和/或有限地免除TPC监督。

This action includes labeling requirements forcomposite wood products and finished goods as well as “chain of custody” andrecordkeeping requirements with a three year record retention period. Productsthat contain de minimis amountsof composite wood products, defined as products containing 144 square inches orless of regulated composite wood products, are exempt from the labelingrequirements, but not the recordkeeping requirements or other provisions. TSCAsection 13 import certification for composite wood products that are articlesis also required.

该行动包括复合木制品和制成品的标签要求以及“保管链”和记录保存要求，以及三年的记录保留期。包含极少量复合木产品的产品（定义为包含144平方英寸或更少的受管制复合木产品的产品）不受标签要求的约束，但不受记录保存要求或其他规定的约束。还需要TSCA第13条进口复合木制品的进口证书。

Notable changes from EPA's proposed regulationsinclude the clarification of certain terms under TSCA Title VI to excluderenovation and construction activities, applicability of the hardwood plywoodemission standard limited to hardwood plywood made with either a composite or aveneer core, an expanded exemption for laminated products to products laminatedwith phenol-formaldehyde resins in addition to those laminated with resinsformulated with no added formaldehyde as part of the resin cross-linkingstructure, a manufactured-by date for non-exempt laminated products that isseven years after publication of this final rule, the addition of a petitionprocess through which any person can petition the Agency to expand theexemption for laminated products from the definition of the term “hardwoodplywood”, elimination of the requirement to hold lots selected for testinguntil test results are received, specific notification requirements for non-complyinglots, reduced recordkeeping for non-laminating fabricators, and allowing twoyears after date of final publication of the rule, instead of one year, forimporters to certify that imports are in compliance with TSCA Title VI pursuantto TSCA section 13.

EPA拟议法规的显着变化包括澄清了TSCA第六章中的某些术语，不包括翻新和建筑活动；硬木胶合板排放标准的适用性仅限于由复合材料或贴面板芯制成的硬木胶合板；对层压产品的扩大豁免除使用酚醛甲醛树脂层压而成的产品以及不添加甲醛作为树脂交联结构一部分而配制的树脂层压产品外，非豁免层压产品的出厂日期为该最终出版物公布后的七年规则是，增加了一种请愿程序，通过该程序，任何人都可以向代理机构请愿，以扩大对层压产品的豁免，使之从“硬木胶合板”一词的定义中消除，不再要求保留选定的要进行测试的批料，直到收到测试结果，不合格批次的特定通知要求，减少记录保存适用于非层压制造商，并且允许该规则的最终发布日期之后的两年而不是一年，以便进口商证明进口符合TSCA第13节中的TSCA VI规定。

B. Why is the Agency takingthis action?

代理机构为何采取这一行为？

EPA is promulgating this final rule to reduce formaldehydeemissions from composite wood products, and thereby reduce exposures toformaldehyde and avoid adverse health effects. TSCA Title VI directs EPA topromulgate regulations that include provisions on labeling; chain of custodyrequirements; sell-through provisions; ULEF and NAF resins; finished goods;third-party testing and certification; auditing and reporting of TPCs;recordkeeping; enforcement; laminated products; and exceptions from regulatoryrequirements for products and components containing de minimis amounts of composite wood products.

EPA正在颁布该最终规则，以减少复合木制品中甲醛的排放，从而减少甲醛的暴露量并避免对健康造成不利影响。TSCA第六章指示EPA颁布包含标签规定的法规；监管链要求；销售规定；ULEF和NAF树脂；成品；第三方测试和认证；TPC的审核和报告；保持记录；执法；层压制品以及含有最少数量的复合木制品的产品和组件的法规要求的例外情况。

C. What are the estimatedimpacts of this action?

该行为的估计影响是什么？

EPA's analysis of the potential costs, benefits, and impactsassociated with this rulemaking is summarized in Table 2, and additional detailis provided in Unit VI.A. The quantified costs of the rule may exceed thequantified benefits under certain conditions. There are additional unquantifiedbenefits due to other avoided health effects. There is not sufficientinformation at this time on the relationship between formaldehyde exposure andmyeloid leukemia, respiratory related effects, or reduced fertility to includea valuation estimate in the overall benefits analysis. Although uncertaintyremains regarding how best to quantify the effect of formaldehyde exposure onthese
