NTAA published a comment letter and Tribal Template Letter for Tribes to respond to EPA’s proposed amendment to the National Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces. While the 2015 NSPS would have required retailers to stop selling Step One wood heaters, due to the nation-wide spread of the COVID-19 virus, the proposed amendments, if finalized, would provide retailers more time to sell Step 1-certified residential wood heating devices. The deadline for comment was on July 6, 2020. More information can be found on EPA’s website here.
