          The Honorable James M. Inhofe
          Chairman
          The Honorable James M. Jeffords
          Ranking Minority Member
          Committee on Environment and Public Works
          United States Senate

          The Honorable W.J. Billy Tauzin
          Chairman
          The Honorable John D. Dingell
          Ranking Minority Member
          Committee on Energy and Commerce
          House of Representatives

          Subject: Environmental Protection Agency National Emission Standards for
                  Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional
                  Boilers and Process Heaters

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), entitled
          National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Industrial,
          Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters (RIN: 2060-AG69). We
          received the rule on April 8, 2004. It was published in the Federal Register as a final
          rule on September 13, 2004. 69 Fed. Reg. 55218.

          The final rule contains national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for
          industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters. The rule
          implements section 112(d) of the Clean Air Act by requiring all major sources to
          meet hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions standards reflecting the application
          of the maximum achievable control technology. The final rule is expected to reduce
          HAP emissions by 50,600 to 58,000 tons per year.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the EPA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that EPA complied with the applicable requirements.
