GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-5431 RIN 2060-AR10 EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0517 FRL-9643-8 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Proposed rule. Comments must be received on or before April 20, 2012. Public Hearing. One public hearing will be held on March 20, 2012. For additional instructions on the public hearing, go to the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document. 40 CFR Parts 51, 52, 70 and 71 This proposal concerns the third step (Step 3) in the EPA's Tailoring Rule. We are proposing to maintain the applicability thresholds for greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting sources at the current levels. We are also proposing two streamlining approaches, which will improve the administration of GHG Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V permitting programs. The first proposal addresses the implementation of GHG plantwide applicability limitations (PALs). We propose to allow permitting authorities to issue GHG PALs on either a mass-basis (tpy) or a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e)-basis and to allow PALs to be used as an alternative approach for determining whether a project is a major modification and whether GHG emissions are subject to regulation. The second proposal would create the regulatory authority for the EPA to issue synthetic minor limitations for GHGs in areas subject to a GHG PSD Federal Implementation Plan (FIP). We also discuss our progress in evaluating the suitability of other streamlining approaches and solicit further comment.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-712 RIN 2070-AJ51 EPA-HQ-OPPT-2010-0518 FRL-8880-4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule. This final rule is effective March 19, 2012. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the final rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of March 19, 2012. 40 CFR Parts 49, 60, 75, 89, 92, 94, 761, and 1065 EPA is promulgating a final rule to incorporate the most recent versions of ASTM International (ASTM) standards into EPA regulations that provide flexibility to use alternatives to mercury-containing industrial thermometers. This final rule will allow the use of such alternatives in certain field and laboratory applications previously impermissible as part of compliance with EPA regulations. EPA believes the older embedded ASTM standards unnecessarily impede the use of effective, comparable, and available alternatives to mercury-containing industrial thermometers. Due to mercury's high toxicity, EPA seeks to reduce potential mercury exposures to humans and the environment by reducing the overall use of mercury-containing products, including mercury-containing industrial thermometers.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-20035 RIN FRL-9449-3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule; technical amendment. This final rule is effective August 11, 2011. 40 CFR Parts 1, 2, 21, 35, 49, 52, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 82, 147, 282, 374, 707, and 763 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending its regulations to reflect a change in address for EPA's Region 1 office. This action is editorial in nature and is intended to provide accuracy and clarity to the agency's regulations.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-14981 RIN 2060-AH37 EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0076 FRL-9320-2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule. This final rule is effective on August 30, 2011. 40 CFR Parts 49 and 51 The EPA is finalizing a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for Indian country. The FIP includes two New Source Review (NSR) regulations for the protection of air resources in Indian country. The first rule applies to new and modified minor stationary sources (minor sources) and to minor modifications at existing major stationary sources (major sources) throughout Indian country. The second rule (nonattainment major NSR rule) applies to new and modified major sources in areas of Indian country that are designated as not attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). These rules will be implemented by EPA or a delegate Tribal agency assisting EPA with administration of the rules, until replaced by an EPA-approved implementation plan.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-10321 RIN -2060-AQ56 EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0293 FRL-9300-2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Direct final rule. The direct final rule is effective on July 28, 2011 without further notice, unless EPA receives relevant adverse comments by May 31, 2011. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the amendments in this rule will not take effect. 40 CFR Part 49 The EPA is taking direct final action to amend certain Clean Air Act regulations pertaining to Indian tribes. This action changes the title of the regulations titled, “Tribal Clean Air Act Authority” to the more accurate “Indian Country: Air Quality Planning and Management.” The action also reorganizes existing sections for better placement within the regulations.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-7110 RIN EPA-R09-OAR-2007-0296, FRL-9259-9 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Final rule. This final rule is effective April 27, 2011. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of April 27, 2011. 40 CFR Part 49 EPA is approving a Tribal implementation plan (TIP) submitted by the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC or Tribe) on February 21, 2007, as supplemented and amended on July 11, 2007, June 22, 2009, and July 17, 2010, and as described in our August 12, 2010 proposal. The TIP includes general and emergency authorities, ambient air quality standards, permitting requirements for minor sources of air pollution, enforcement authorities, procedures for administrative appeals and judicial review in Tribal court, requirements for area sources of fugitive dust and fugitive particulate matter, general prohibitory rules, and source category-specific emission limitations and standards. These provisions establish a base TIP that is suitable for the GRIC's reservation and regulatory capacities and that meets all applicable minimum requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) and EPA regulations. The effect of this action is to make the approved portions of the GRIC TIP federally enforceable under the CAA and to further protect air quality within the exterior boundaries of the GRIC reservation.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-3998 RIN EPA-R09-OAR-2010-0683 FRL-9269-4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Supplemental proposed rule. Comments on this supplemental proposed rule must be submitted no later than May 2, 2011. Open houses and public hearings will be held on the following dates: 40 CFR Part 49 On October 19, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposal to promulgate a source specific Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) requiring the Four Corners Power Plant (FCPP), located on the Navajo Nation, to achieve emissions reductions required by the Clean Air Act's Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) provision. On November 24, 2010, Arizona Public Service (APS) acting on behalf of FCPP's owners submitted a letter to EPA offering an alternative proposal to reduce visibility-impairing pollution. In this action, EPA is supplementing our October 19, 2010 BART proposal with our technical evaluation of APS' alternative proposal. We are proposing to find that a different alternative emissions control strategy would achieve more progress than EPA's BART proposal towards achieving visibility improvements in the surrounding Class I areas.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2011-246 RIN 2070-AJ51 EPA-HQ-OPPT-2010-0518 FRL-8846-6 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Proposed rule. Comments must be received on or before March 14, 2011. 40 CFR Parts 49, 60, 63, 75, 86, 89, 92, 94, 761, and 1065 EPA is proposing to incorporate the most recent versions of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International standards (ASTM standards) into EPA regulations that provide flexibility to use alternatives to mercury-containing industrial thermometers. These proposed amendments will allow the use of such alternatives in certain limited field and laboratory applications previously impermissible as part of compliance with EPA regulations. Additionally, EPA is seeking public input on the need to address the remaining EPA regulations that incorporate by reference ASTM standards that do not allow the use of alternatives to mercury-containing industrial thermometers. EPA believes these embedded ASTM standards may unnecessarily impede the use of effective, comparable, and available mercury alternatives. Due to elemental mercury's high toxicity, EPA seeks to reduce potential mercury exposures to humans and the environment by reducing the overall use of mercury-containing products, including mercury-containing thermometers.
