The Environmental Protection Agency may reduce the fuel-emission standards for new boilers because the Council of Industrial Boiler Owners (CIBO) claims the standards assume stacks that are higher than those used for coal-fired boilers. CIBO is unique in concentrating on furnishing technical information rather than on broad policy issues. The group sees fuel utilization rather than fuel supply issues as an area in which it can have the greatest influence. Organized in response to President Carter's 1978 proposals for coal conversion, followed by the Fuel Use Act and the Clean Air Act Amendments, CIBO spokesmen are critical of the conversion emphasis and feel the regulations should concentrate on new equipment. The group's efforts will be directed at changing fuel-use regulations, helping users get exemptions, and finding ways for users to accommodate the regulations. It supports implementation of the Clean Air Act, although it recommends a relaxed timetable. (DCK)
