A. What Principles and Objectives Guide EPA in Developing Regulations
and Policies?

The quality of the science, economic, and policy analysis that
underlie EPA regulations is vital to the credibility of EPA
decisions and ultimately our effectiveness in protecting human
health and the environment. Additionally, continued testing and
adoption of new environmental protection methods must be a central
tenet in environmental problem solving. A well managed regulatory
process and a strong commitment to innovative solutions will ensure
that the significant environmental improvements that we all want to
achieve are cost-effective, fair and fully protective.

Much of the success over the last 31 years and seven
administrations in cleaning up the Nation's water, air, and land is
attributable to the system of Federal and State regulation that has
directed and coordinated private investment in pollution control
and prevention. While regulation will remain an important tool to
implement environmental policy, it is not the only one. Instead,
EPA must increasingly act as an innovator, educator, and leader in
administering a broad set of new tools -- including new methods to
design and administer regulations -- that engage all segments of
our society in responsive behaviors that protect the environment
while promoting appropriate economic growth. For example, we have
worked with businesses and community leaders to develop more than
40 voluntary partnership programs that help achieve environmental
objectives with the greatest possible efficiency. For more
information about these programs visit: www.epa.gov/partners.

EPA's regulatory process must ensure that the Nation's
environmental protection system produces the best outcomes at an
acceptable cost, where cost considerations are appropriate.
Appropriate scientific, economic and policy analyses must be
planned at early stages in the regulatory development process so
that senior Agency decision makers understand the benefits and
costs of policy options from which to choose. Additionally, it is
important that we continue to apply new methods to protect the
environment--by building flexibility into regulations up front,
through non-regulatory approaches where effective, by creating
strong partnerships with States, local governments, and businesses,
and by vigorously using public outreach and involvement.

Several basic legal requirements we must follow when we issue
a regulation are contained in the Administrative Procedure Act, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act as amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, the National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act, and the Congressional Review Act. You can find
information on many of these laws at http://www.law.cornell.edu/
uscode/ .

We also must meet a number of requirements contained in
Executive Orders. Of particular significance for EPA rulemakings
are Executive Orders 12866
(Regulatory Planning and Review), 13045

(Children's Health Protection), 13175
(Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments), 13132
(Federalism),
and 13211 (Energy). You can find information on these and other
Executive orders at http://www.nara.gov/fedreg/eo.html .

B. How Does EPA Develop Rules and Policies?

In order to improve the regulatory process within EPA, we
established a task force to examine the Agency's rulemaking
process, and to recommend ways to improve the internal process and
strengthen the supporting science and analysis. The task force
concluded that the regulatory process is essentially sound but
improvements should be made in several areas to more effectively
carry out our mission including: better science and economic
analyses; broader consideration of policy options; greater
accountability; and better management of significant nonregulatory
decisions. For a detailed discussion of these improvements, please
see our Statement of Priorities in The Regulatory Plan,

[[Page 62241]]

contained in part II of today's Federal Register.

C. What Actions Are Included in the Agenda?

EPA includes regulations and certain major policy documents in
the Agenda. We generally do not include minor amendments or the
following categories of actions in the Agenda:

Under the Clean Air Act: Revisions to State Implementation
Plans; Equivalent Methods for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring; Deletions
from the New Source Performance Standards source categories list;
Delegations of Authority to States; Area Designations for Air Quality
Planning Purposes.

Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act: Actions regarding pesticide tolerances and food additive
regulations; decision documents defining and establishing registration
standards; decision documents and termination decisions for the Special
Review Registration process; and data call-in requests made under
section 3(c)(2)(B).

Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act:
Authorization of State solid waste management plans; hazardous waste
delisting petitions.

Under the Clean Water Act: State Water Quality Standards;
Deletions from the section 307(a) list of toxic pollutants; Suspensions
of toxic testing requirements under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES); Delegations of NPDES authority to States.

Under the Safe Drinking Water Act: Actions on State
underground injection control programs.

There is no legal significance to the omission of an item from
the agenda.

D. How Is the Agenda Organized?

We have organized the agenda:

First, by the law that would authorize a particular action;

Second, by the current stage of development (proposal, final,
etc.); and

Third, by the section number of the statute which requires or
authorizes the action.

The following 14 sections deal with 13 laws that EPA
administers and a fourteenth broader section called ``General''
that includes cross-cutting actions, such as rules authorized by
multiple statutes and general acquisition rules:

1. General
2. The Clean Air Act (CAA)
3. The Atomic Energy Act (AEA)
4. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
5. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)
6. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
7. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
8. Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory
Relief Act
9. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
10. The Oil Pollution Act (OPA)
11. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act; Superfund (CERCLA)
12. The Clean Water Act (CWA)
13. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
14. The Shore Protection Act (SPA)

In each of these 14 sections, there are up to 5 headings
covering the following stages of rulemaking:

1. Prerulemakings - Prerulemaking actions are intended to determine
whether EPA should initiate rulemaking. Prerulemakings may include
anything that influences or leads to rulemaking, such as advance
notices of proposed rulemaking (ANPRMs), significant studies or
analyses of the possible need for regulatory action, announcement of
reviews of existing regulations required under section 610 of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, requests for public comment on the need for
regulatory action, or important preregulatory policy proposals.

2. Proposed Rules - This section includes EPA rulemaking actions that
are within a year of proposal (publication of Notices of Proposed
Rulemakings (NPRMs)).

3. Final Rules - This section includes rules that are within a year of
final promulgation.

4. Long-Term Actions - This section includes rulemakings for which the
next scheduled regulatory action is after September 2002.

5. Completed Actions - This section contains actions that have been
promulgated and published in the Federal Register07 since
publication of the April 2001 Agenda.
It also includes actions that we
are no longer considering or actions
that have been merged into other
actions. If an action appears in
the completed section, it will not
appear in future Agendas unless we
decide to initiate action again, in
which case it will appear as a
new entry. EPA also announces the
results of our Regulatory Flexibility Act
section 610 reviews in this section
of the Agenda.

E. What Information Is in Agenda Entries?

Agenda entries include the following information, where
applicable:

Sequence Number: This indicates where the entry appears in the
Agenda.

Title: Titles for new entries (those that haven't appeared in
previous Agendas) are preceded by a bullet (bullet). The
notation ``Section 610 Review'' follows the title if we are
reviewing the rule as part of our periodic review of existing rules
under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610).

Priority: Entries are placed into one of five categories
described below.

Economically Significant: As defined in Executive Order 12866,
a rulemaking action that will have an annual effect on the economy
of $100 million or more or will adversely affect in a material way
the economy, a sector of the economy, productivity, competition,
jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or
tribal governments or communities. OMB reviews all economically
significant rules under Executive Order 12866.

EPA is developing 25 rules that are expected to have
annualized economic impacts of more than $100 million.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Significant: A rulemaking that is not economically
significant but is considered significant by the agency. This
category includes rules that are an EPA priority and rules that EPA
anticipates will be reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
under Executive Order 12866
because they are likely to:

Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;

Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements,
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights or obligations of
recipients; or

Raise novel legal or policy issues.

Substantive, Nonsignificant: A rulemaking that has substantive
impacts but is neither Significant, nor Routine and Frequent, nor
Informational/Administrative/Other.

Routine and Frequent: A rulemaking that is a specific case of
a recurring application of a regulatory program in the Code of
Federal Regulations and that does not alter the body of the
regulation.

Informational/Administrative/Other: A rulemaking that is
primarily informational or pertains to agency matters not central
to accomplishing the agency's regulatory mandate but that the
agency places in the Agenda to inform the public of the activity.

Also, if we believe that a rule may be ``major'' as defined in
the congressional review provisions of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) (5 U.S.C. 801; Public
Law 104-121) because it is likely to result in an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million or more or meets other criteria
specified in this law, we indicate this under the ``Priority''
heading with the statement ``Major under 5 U.S.C. 801.''

Legal Authority: The sections of the United States Code
(U.S.C.), Public Law (P.L.), Executive Order (E.O.), or common name
of the law that authorizes the regulatory action.

CFR Citation: The sections of the Code of Federal Regulations
that will be affected by the action.

Legal Deadline: An indication of whether the rule is subject to
a statutory or judicial deadline, the date of that deadline, and
whether the deadline pertains to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, a
Final Action, or some other action.

Abstract: A brief description of the problem the regulation
will address; the need for a Federal solution; to the extent
available, the alternatives that the agency is considering to
address the problem; and the potential advantages and disadvantages
of the action.

Timetable: The dates (and citations) that documents for this
action were published in the Federal Register and, where possible,
a projected date for the next step. Projected publication dates
frequently change during the course of a rule development. The
projections in the Agenda are our best estimates as of the date we
submit the Agenda for publication. For some entries, the timetable
indicates that the date of the next action is ``to be determined.''

[[Page 62243]]

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Required: Indicates whether EPA
has prepared or anticipates that it will be preparing a regulatory
flexibility analysis under section 603 or 604 of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act. Generally, such an analysis is required for
proposed or final rules that EPA believes may have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Small Entities Affected: Indicates whether we expect the rule
to have any effect on small entities.

Government Levels Affected: Indicates whether we expect the
rule to have any effect on levels of government and, if so, whether
the governments are State, local, tribal, or Federal.

Federalism Implications: Indicates whether the action is
expected to have substantial direct effects on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.

Unfunded Mandates: Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act requires an assessment of anticipated costs and benefits if a
rule includes a mandate that may result in expenditures of more
than $100 million in any one year by State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector. If we
expect to exceed this $100 million threshold, we note it in this
section.

Energy Impacts: Indicates whether the action is a significant
energy action under Executive Order 13211.

Agency Contact: The name, address, phone number, and e-mail
address, if available, of a person who is knowledgeable about the
regulation.

SAN Number: A code number that EPA uses to identify and track
rulemakings.

RIN: The Regulatory Identifier Number is used by OMB to
identify and track rulemakings. The first four digits of the RIN
stand for the EPA office with lead responsibility for developing
the action.

F. What Additional Information Is in Regulatory Plan Entries?

Regulatory Plan entries contain all of the categories of
information that are in Agenda entries and also include the
following six types of information:

Statement of Need
Statement of the Legal Basis
Alternatives
Anticipated Costs and Benefits
Risks
G. What Tools Are Available To Help Quickly Identify Actions That Are
of Interest to You?

The Regulatory Information Service Center (RISC), the
Government Printing Office (GPO), and the EPA have created a number
of aids to help you find actions that are of interest to you.

For Rules That Directly Affect a Particular Industry: See
Appendix F ``Environmental Protection Agency Subject Index to the
Unified Agenda.'' If you have access to the Internet, you can use
the EPA Regulatory Agenda search engine which is located in the
Small Business Regulatory Library section of the EPA Web site at
www.epa.gov/regagenda. Click on ``Search Regulatory Action
Database'' and then ``Access the Database''. This tool can be used
to search all Agenda entries by keyword and we invite everyone to
use it. The GPO also has a search engine which is located at .

For Rules With Impacts on Small Businesses, Small Governments, and
Small Organizations:

Go to Appendix B following this Agenda for the lists of the
rules that we expect may have a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities. These lists are also available on the
Internet. The small businesses list is at
http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/ua/ October2001/entities/sm--index-2.html .
The small governments list is at
http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/ua/October2001/entities/sm--index-3.html .
And the small organizations list is at
http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/ua/ October2001/entities/sm--index-4.html .

For Rules That We Expect Will Have Some Impact on Some Small Entities
but Less Than a Significant Impact on a Substantial Number of Them:

See Appendix C following this Agenda, ``Index to Entries That
May Affect Small Entities When a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Is
Not Required.'' This list is available on the Internet at
http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/ua/October2001/entities/smgov-5.html .

For Rules With Impacts on State, Local, Tribal, or Federal Government,
or Other Federal Agencies:

See Appendix D following this Agenda, ``Index to Entries That
May Affect Government Levels.'' This list is available on the
Internet at
http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/ua/October2001/entities/smgov-8.html .

H. How Can You Access Federal Register Documents and Interpretive
Guidance via the Internet and via E-mail?

Like many organizations in the public and private sector, EPA
is harnessing the power of the Internet to meet the needs of those
we serve. The EPA Web site offers more than 100,000 files online.
If you want to get automatic e-mails about areas of particular
interest as they appear in the Federal Register (FR), we maintain
12 collections including: air; water; wastes and emergency
response; pesticides; toxic substances; right-to-know and toxic
release inventory; environmental impacts; endangered species;
meetings; the Science Advisory Board; daily full-text notices with
page numbers; and general information. For more information and to
subscribe via our FR Web site, visit: http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/
subscribe.htm. If you have e-mail without full Internet access,
please send an e-mail to envsubset@epa.gov to request instructions
for subscribing to the EPA Federal Register listservers.

Several Web sites allow access to the full text of Federal
Register documents.

The Government Printing Office site has a number of databases
online including the Unified Agenda and the Federal Register
07going back to 1994. This site
is the official source for the
electronic Federal Register07. It provides
public access via telnet, Internet, and
dial-up connection and is located at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su--docs/aces/aces140.html .

EPA's site (http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/) has
environmental rules issued by EPA and other Federal agencies dating
back to October 1994 and lets you search by date, page citation or
keyword. It includes links to the Regulatory Information Service Center
and Government Printing Office sites. We also have a Regulatory Agenda
search engine at: http://www.epa/regagenda. To use, first select
``Search Regulatory Action

[[Page 62244]]

Database'' and then select ``Access the Database''.

The Regulatory Information Service Center of the General
Services Administration maintains a site to help users who want to find
information about Federal, State, and local regulations at http://
www.reginfo.gov/ . This site includes links to all agencies' regulatory
agendas and regulatory plans going back to October 1995.

In the ``Additional Information'' section of many of the
entries in this Agenda we include the Internet address for
documents that we have already published as part of the rulemaking.

We have recently opened an Internet site through which you can
access a collection of non-binding guidance materials issued by EPA
Headquarters offices since January 1, 1999. The collection includes
non-binding guidance documents which explain what must be done to
meet environmental requirements or explain how EPA will exercise
its discretion in implementing statutory or regulatory
requirements. The collection is located at: http://www.epa.gov/guidance/

I. What Special Attention Do We Give to the Impacts of Rules on Small
Entities?

For each of our rulemakings we consider whether there will be
any adverse impact on any small entity. We attempt to fit the
regulatory requirements, to the extent feasible and appropriate, to
the scale of the businesses, organizations, and governmental
jurisdictions subject to the regulation. As required by the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), for rules on which we expect
there will be a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities, we convene a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel to
consider the rulemaking. We also prepare regulatory flexibility
analyses on these rules. See Appendix B at the end of the Agenda,
``Index to Environmental Protection Agency Entries for which a
Regulatory Flexiblity Analysis is Required'' for a list of these
rules. See Appendix C for a list of the rules that may affect small
entities, but which will not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of them.

As required by section 610 of the RFA, we review within 10
years of issuance all rules that were projected to have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This year we have no rules scheduled for section 610
review.

J. Why Participate and How To Do It Most Effectively?

You may participate by contacting the expert responsible for
developing a particular action. You may also participate by
commenting on proposed rules that we publish in the Federal
Register. Once we have proposed a rule, we will consider your
comments and address them before issuing a final rule. To be most
effective, comments should contain information and data that
support your position, and you also should explain why we should
incorporate your suggestion in the final rule. You can be
particularly helpful and persuasive if you provide examples to
illustrate your concerns and offer specific alternatives.

We believe that the best approach to making our rules more
cost-effective and fairer includes having those of you who are
stakeholders in a problem work with us in deciding on the solution.
We urge you to participate with us in this process.

3334. UTILIZATION OF SMALL, MINORITY AND WOMEN'S BUSINESS ENTERPRISES IN
PROCUREMENT UNDER ASSISTANCE AGREEMENTS

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: PL 101-507; PL 102-389; PL 101-549 sec 1001; 42 USC
9605(f); PL 100-590; EO 12432; EO 12138; EO 11625
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 33
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The regulation will codify revisions to the Agency's program
for the utilization of Small, Minority and Women's Business Enterprises
in procurements under assistance agreements (i.e., grants and
cooperative agreements awarded by EPA as well as grants and cooperative
agreements awarded by other agencies under interagency agreements with
EPA). The revisions are necessary to ensure consistency with the
Supreme Court's decision in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, 115
S.Ct. 2097 (1995), and were identified as part of the Clinton
Administration's review of affirmative action programs. They include:
(1) placing greater emphasis on requiring assistance agreement
recipients to submit documentation supporting proposed fair share
procurement objectives for Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and
Women's Business Enterprises (WBEs) based on the availability of
qualified MBEs and WBEs in the relevant geographic market; (2)
authorizing or requiring recipients and their prime contractors to take
reasonable race/gender-conscious measures (e.g., bidding credits) in
the event that race/gender-neutral efforts prove inadequate to meet
fair share objectives; and (3) administering statutory MBE/WBE
objectives as a national goal, allowing smaller or larger fair share
objectives for particular grants or cooperative agreements based on the
availability standard.

Abstract: The purpose of this rule is to revise the Agency's conflict
of interest (COI) acquisition regulations. The specific revisions
involve more stringent requirements for submission of relevant
information from Agency contractors and potential contractors regarding
their relationships with parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries,
and sister companies. Current Agency regulations do not require the
submission of this level of information. Receipt and evaluation of this
information is critical in order for the Agency to decide whether or
not COI situations exist and how they are to be handled. This revised
rule will also codify several COI clauses that have been developed
since the issuance of the previous rule in 1994.

3339. IMPLEMENTATION OF CHANGES TO GOVERNMENTWIDE DEBARMENT AND
SUSPENSION COMMON RULE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: EO 12549; EO 12689 and FASA
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 32
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Periodically OMB amends the Governmentwide common rule for
suspension and debarment of contractors and assistance participants who
threaten the integrity of Federal programs because of criminal
misconduct or poor performance. All agencies must issue changes to
their individual codified versions to conform to the common rule.
Recently, the Interagency Suspension and Debarment Coordinating
Committee prepared recommendations for comprehensive changes to the
common rule to conform to changes made in the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) as a result of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining
Act (FASA). In addition, several other proposals to improve or change
the rule were recommended by various agencies. In December 1996, OMB
declined to implement the changes at that time due to differences with
some agencies about some changes unrelated to those occasioned by FASA.
Among other things, FASA replaced the small purchase threshold
($25,000) with the simplified acquisition amount ($100,000). That
change unintentionally exposed certain EPA programs to participation by
contractors who may have been debarred for serious misconduct already.
OMB has agreed to permit agencies to amend the coverage section of
their individual agency rules to reduce or eliminate exposure to
suspended or debarred persons.
EPA intends to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 40 CFR
32.110 to reduce EPA exposure to such consequences.

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 8
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, October 2, 1998, The Interim Final
Rule effective 7/14/98 through the year 2000-2001 austral summer.

[[Page 62261]]

Abstract: The purpose of this action is to develop regulations for: (1)
the environmental impact assessment of nongovernmental activities,
including tourism, for which the United States is required to give
advance notice under paragraph 5 of Article VII of the Antarctic Treaty
and (2) coordination of the review of information regarding
environmental impact assessment received by the United States from
other parties under the Protocol on Environmental Protection. The
Office of Federal Activities (OECA/OFA) will use the decisionmaking
process of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to analyze the
environmental setting; the types of nongovernmental activities,
including tourism, to be addressed by the regulations; their potential
for impact; and the alternatives available under rulemaking for
environmental impact assessments for nongovernmental activities. An
interim final rule, 40 CFR part 8, promulgated April 30, 1997, and on
July 15, 1998 extended through the 2000-2001 austral summer, will be
replaced by a final rule. The interim final rule was effective
immediately so that the U.S. could ratify the Protocol and implement
its obligations under the Protocol as soon as it entered into force.
These rules are being developed in coordination with other Federal
agencies with specific interests in and expertise with Antarctica
including the Department of State, National Science Foundation,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Coast Guard,
Marine Mammal Commission, Department of Justice, and the Council on
Environmental Quality.

Abstract: EPA is preparing a comprehensive revision of the Rules of
Practice governing the conduct of licensing adjudications under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The
existing Rules of Practice were originally promulgated by EPA in 1973.
In the subsequent 19 years, Congress has substantially amended FIFRA,
creating a number of additional types of licensing adjudications which
are not expressly provided for in the existing Rules of Practice. In
order to include provisions tailored to these new types of proceedings,
and to incorporate the standard practices which have evolved and the
precedents which have been established since these rules were first
promulgated, EPA intends to comprehensively revise the FIFRA Rules of
Practice.

Abstract: EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 2, subpart B, provide
procedures for handling and disclosing information claimed as
confidential business information (CBI). Although the current
regulations have succeeded in protecting CBI, changes in Agency
workload, practice, and statutory authority have made it difficult to
handle CBI activities as expeditiously as desired. EPA is examining its
CBI regulations to determine what changes are needed to make the
regulations as efficient and effective as possible. Provision 40 CFR
2.205(c), which automatically protects CBI substantiations claimed as
confidential, is being examined individually and as part of the CBI
regulations as a whole.

3344. PERSISTENT, BIOACCUMULATIVE, AND TOXIC (PBT) POLLUTANTS STRATEGY

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed
National Action Plans under a national strategy to overcome the
remaining challenges in addressing priority PBT pollutants. These
pollutants pose risks because they are toxic, persist in ecosystems,
and accumulate in fish and up the food chain. The PBT challenges
remaining stem from the pollutants' ability to travel long distances,
to transfer rather easily among air, water, and land, and to linger for
generations. EPA is committing, through this strategy, to create an
enduring cross-office system that will address the cross-media issues
associated with priority PBT pollutants. This strategy fortifies
existing EPA commitments related to priority PBTs, such as the 1997
Canada/U.S. Binational Toxics Strategy (BNS), the North American
Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, and the recently released Clean
Water Action Plan. EPA is forging a new approach to reduce risks from
and exposures to priority PBT pollutants through increased coordination
among EPA national and regional programs. This approach also requires
the significant involvement of stakeholders, including international,
State, local, and tribal organizations, the regulated community,
environmental groups, and private citizens. EPA is carrying out this
strategy through the implementation of National Action Plans for
Priority PBT Pollutants. EPA is initially focusing action on 12 BNS
Level 1 substances either individually or as categories and two major
cross-cutting issues (monitoring and outreach/risk communication). The
action plans will use the full range of its tools to prevent and reduce
releases of these substances. These tools include international,
voluntary, regulatory, programmatic, remedial, compliance monitoring
and assistance, enforcement, research, and outreach tools. EPA will
integrate and sequence actions within and across action plans, and will
seek to leverage these actions on international and industry-sector
bases. Beyond these first 12 substances EPA will identify additional
PBTs for development of National Action Plans.

Abstract: The Gold Track Program is a crucial part of NJDEP's efforts
to create a State-run tiered performance-based program. Currently,
facilities may join NJDEP's Silver Track Program, which is a lower-
level tier that provides recognition for commitments to a certain level
of environmental enhancement. Gold Track expands upon these
environmental commitments, and offers proportionally greater
recognition, as well as actual federal regulatory flexibility to
participating facilities. NJDEP is partnering with EPA in the Gold
Track effort under the XL program, so as to be able to offer federal
regulatory flexibility to Gold Track participants.

Abstract: The Department of Justice proposes to make amendments to its
regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
(title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section
504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act).
Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race,
color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities
that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights
Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of program or activity and
program to title VI and added a definition of program or activity to
section 504 and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were
designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs
or activities under these statutes. The promulgation of this proposed
regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of program or
activity and program into the Department's title VI, section 504, and
Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department's proposed
regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.

3355. CONSOLIDATION OF GOOD LABORATORY PRACTICE STANDARDS (GLPS)
REGULATIONS CURRENTLY UNDER TSCA AND FIFRA INTO ONE RULE

Priority: Info./Admin./Other
Legal Authority: 15 USC 2601 et seq; 7 USC 136 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 160; 40 CFR 792
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On November 29, 1983, EPA published Good Laboratory Practice
Standards (GLPS) regulations intended to help ensure data integrity for
studies required to support marketing and research permits under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). These rules were last amended on
August 17, 1989. GLPS data integrity measures can be applied to a wide
variety of scientific studies. Although the TSCA and FIFRA GLPS contain
identical provisions, they were published as separate rules to account
for statutory and program differences between TSCA and FIFRA, such as
differences in records retention requirements. EPA believes it will be
able to address the differences between TSCA and FIFRA, such as
differences in records retention requirements. EPA believes it will be
able to address the differences of those programs without duplicating
the entire GLP standard in two places.
This action is intended to consolidate EPA's GLPS into one rule.
Program-specific requirements will be addressed in either separate
sections of the consolidated rule, or in separate rules as is
determined appropriate. This action is not intended to change the
requirements, applicability, or

[[Page 62266]]

enforceability of GLPS with respect to any statute.
EPA has received comments from stakeholders regarding the
understandability of many aspects of the GLPS, and over the years has
issued numerous clarifications. EPA believes that some clarifications,
if included directly in the rule, would make the rule easier to
understand and enhance compliance. Therefore, EPA intends to include
such clarifications where appropriate in this rulemaking. Finally, in
the interest of maintaining consistency between EPA's and Food and Drug
Administration's regulations, EPA will determine any modifications that
have occurred to the FDA GLP rule and consider incorporation of such
changes into the EPA rule. This action will serve to reduce the total
regulatory text in the Code of Federal Regulations by an estimated 10
pages, by consolidating 23 pages of text to approximately 13. In the
process it will provide a generic GLP rule that may be used by other
programs in the Agency.

Priority: Info./Admin./Other
Legal Authority: Not applicable
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Agency will use these guidelines to evaluate suspect
carcinogens in line with the policies and procedures established in the
statutes administered by the EPA. These guidelines revise and replace
EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment published at 51 FR 33992,
September 24, 1986. These guidelines provide EPA staff and decision-
makers with the directions and perspectives necessary to develop and
use risk assessments. The guidelines also provide the general public
with basic information about the Agency's approaches to risk
assessment.
To develop guidelines the Agency must find a balance between
consistency and innovation. Consistent risk assessments provide
consistent bases to support regulatory decision-making. On the other
hand, innovation is necessary so the Agency will base its decisions on
current scientific thinking. In balancing these and other science
policies, the Agency relies on input from the general scientific
community through established scientific peer review processes. The
guidelines incorporate basic principles and science policies based on
evaluation of the currently available information. The revisions place
increased emphasis on the role of carcinogenic mechanisms in risk
assessment and clearer explication of underlying assumptions in risk
assessment.
These guidelines will have minimal to no impact on small businesses or
State, local, and tribal governments.

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, June 15, 2001.

Abstract: The determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
content of a surface coating by reference Method 24 involves
determination of its water content and calculation of its VOC content
as the difference of the two measurements (volatile content minus water
content). Method 24 is inherently less precise for water-based coatings
than it is for solvent-based coatings and the imprecision increases as
water content increases. This action will amend Method 24 by adding a
direct measurement procedure for measuring VOC content of water-based
coatings. This amendment will improve the precision of Method 24 for
water-based coatings.

3371. RULEMAKING TO MODIFY THE LIST OF SOURCE CATEGORIES FROM WHICH
FUGITIVE EMISSIONS ARE CONSIDERED IN MAJOR SOURCE DETERMINATIONS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7602 CAA sec 302(j)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51; 40 CFR 52; 40 CFR 70; 40 CFR 71
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rulemaking will modify the list of source categories for
which fugitive emissions are to be considered in major source
determinations under the New Source Review (Prevention of Significant
Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review) and title V
programs. As provided by section 302(j) of the Act, EPA adopted rules
on August 7, 1980 that require, for specific source categories, the
inclusion of fugitive emissions when determining if a stationary source
is a major source. In its 1980 rulemaking, EPA identified one such
specific source category as those stationary source categories being
regulated, as of August 7, 1980, under section 111 or 112 of the Clean
Air Act. Moreover, EPA indicated that at the time of any future
rulemaking proposing to regulate additional categories of sources under
section 111 or 112, the EPA would conduct a parallel rulemaking under
section 302(j) to determine whether fugitive emissions from sources
within these source categories needed to be considered in determining
whether the sources were major stationary sources. EPA did not conduct
these parallel rulemakings as intended and is now conducting a
rulemaking pursuant to section 302(j) to address the source categories
which became subject to section 111 and 112 standards after August 7,
1980.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, May 1, 2001.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, requires the EPA
to (1) publish an initial list of all categories of major and area
sources of the hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) listed in section 112(b)
of the CAA, (2) promulgate a schedule establishing a date for the
promulgation of emission standards for each of the listed categories of
HAPs emission sources, and (3) develop emission standards for each
source of HAPs. These standards are to be technology-based and are to
require the maximum degree of emission reduction determined to be
achievable by the Administrator. The Agency has determined that the
application of asphalt or coal tar to metal pipes may reasonably be
anticipated to emit several of the 189 HAPs listed in section 112(b) of
the CAA. As a consequence, a regulatory development program is being
pursued for the asphalt/coal tar application on metal pipes industry to

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7411 CAA sec 111
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 60
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, April 15, 2001.

Abstract: Performance Specification 16 is being proposed to provide
performance criteria for predictive emission monitoring systems.
Predictive systems represent a new technology that uses process
information or parameters to predict pollutant emissions instead of
directly measuring them. The Agency is allowing their use in recently-
promulgated rules and they are being considered by a number of
regulated facilities. The specification lists the requirements for
acceptable systems that are met by passing tests that compare the
monitoring system with standardized methods and audit gases to
determine system accuracy and stability. Performance Specification 16
will primarily apply to facilities whose emissions can be predicted
from process parameters such as combustion processes (including gas
turbines and internal combustion engines).

Abstract: The purpose of this action is to make a technical change to
the dose methodology used in subpart A of 40 CFR 191, entitled
Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for the Management and
Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Waste and Transuranic Waste
The current methodology is outdated. The dose methodology used in the
rule published on September 19, 1985, was based on the target organ
approach recommended by the International Commission on Radiological
Protection (ICRP) in Report No. 2. Since that time science has
progressed and a new methodology based on an effective dose equivalent
approach is currently being recommended by the ICRP in Report No. 26.
This action would update the 40 CFR 191, subpart A dose limits
published in 1985 from the target organ to the state-of-the-art
effective dose equivalent system. There would be no change in the level
of protection, just the scientific methodology for determining
compliance with the levels of protection established in 1985.

REGARDING SOURCES IN MICHIGAN

Priority: Routine and Frequent
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7426
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 52; 40 CFR 75; 40 CFR 97
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The EPA is proposing to revise the section 126 rule in light
of the March 3, 2000 Court decision (Michigan v. EPA, No. 98-1497) on
the NOx SIP Call. The court vacated, and remanded to EPA for further
consideration, the inclusion of Georgia and Missouri in the NOx SIP
Call in light of the Ozone Transport Assessment Group conclusions that
emissions from coarse grid portions of States did not merit controls.
The reasoning of the Court regarding the significance of NOx emissions
from sources in Georgia and Missouri calls into question the inclusion
of the coarse grid portion of Michigan in the NOx SIP Call. In a
separate proposal on the NOx SIP Call, EPA is proposing to withdraw the
NOx SIP Call requirements for the Michigan coarse grid area. The
section 126 rule is based on many of the same analyses and information
used for the NOx SIP call and covers part of Michigan. Thus, in light
of the court ruling, EPA is proposing to withdraw its section 126
findings and control requirements under the 1-hour ozone standard with
respect to sources located in the small part of the coarse grid portion
of Michigan that is currently covered by the section 126 rule. The EPA
has not identified any existing section 126 sources that would be
affected by the proposal, however this proposal would eliminate
findings and control requirements for new sources locating in the
coarse grid. This proposal does not create any new requirements, thus
there are no associated costs. The proposal does not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. It is consistent with the Court ruling on the
NOx SIP Call and EPA's new proposed action on the NOx SIP Call.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CAAA sec 112
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: The chlorine production source category includes facilities
engaged in the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide (caustic) by
one of the following electrolytic processes: diaphragm cell, membrane
cell, and mercury cell. Hazardous air pollutants emitted include
chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and mercury. None of the facilities are
major sources on their own. However, several are co-located with major
sources (e.g., pulp and paper plants, polymer plants, synthetic organic
chemical plants, etc.). Emissions of chlorine and hydrogen chloride are
very minor and the Agency is evaluating whether regulation of these
HAPs is warranted. Relative to mercury, which is among five pollutants
listed for regulation under section 112(c)(6) due to their persistent
and bioaccumulative effects, the Agency intends to subject to
regulation under section 112(d)(2) all mercury cell facilities
regardless of major source status.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CAAA sec 112
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, May 1, 2001.

Abstract: The CAA required EPA to publish an initial list of all
categories of major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
listed in section 112(b) of the CAA and to establish and meet dates for
promulgation of emissions standards for each of the listed categories
of HAP emissions sources. The standards are to be technology-based and
are to require the maximum degree of reduction determined to be
achievable by the Administrator. The EPA has determined that the
asphalt roofing and processing industry may be reasonably anticipated
to emit one or more of the pollutants listed in section 112(b) of the
CAA. As a consequence, the source category is included on the initial
list of HAP-emitting categories scheduled for standards promulgation
within ten years of enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990. The
purpose of this action is to pursue a regulatory development program
such that emission standards may be proposed and promulgated according
to the mandated schedule.

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CAA sec 112
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: The proposed rulemaking will apply to existing and new
refractory products manufacturing facilities. There are approximately 8
existing refractory products manufacturing facilities in the United
States located at major source facilities. It is estimated that no new
refractory products manufacturing facilities will be built at least for
the next 3 years. The HAP that will be reduced by this proposed rule
are polycyclic organic matter (POM), phenol, formaldehyde, methanol,
and ethylene glycol. Implementation of the proposed rule would reduce
emissions of air toxics by approximately 132 tons per year, a reduction
of 46 percent from current levels. No significant adverse economic
impact is expected to occur as a result of implementing this proposed
rulemaking. The capital cost associated with the proposed rulemaking is
approximately $3.5 million. The total annual cost of the proposed
rulemaking is approximately $1.7 million.

designate them as a major source. As a consequence, primary magnesium
refining is among the HAP emitting source categories selected for
regulation and is in the group of categories for which final rules are
scheduled to be promulgated by November 15, 2000 (58 FR 63941, December

Abstract: Final standards under section 112(d) for chromium emissions
from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing
tanks (40 CFR 63, subpart N) were promulgated on January 25, 1995.
Since promulgation, the Agency has determined that a class of chromium
electroplating operations were inadvertently excluded from regulation.
Specifically, the final standards do not apply to sources engaged in
continuous chromium electroplating of steel sheet used to make cans and
other containers. It is the Agency's intent to regulate all facilities
engaged in chromium electroplating. Therefore, the Agency plans to
amend the chromium electroplating rule to extend its applicability to
continuous chromium electroplating operations.

Abstract: During the development of the National Emission Standard for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for elastomers (Group I polymers and
resins) and thermoplastics (Group IV polymers and resins) (RINs 2060-
AD56 and 2060-AE37), many of the provisions contained in the Hazardous
Organic NESHAP (HON) were referenced directly by these polymers and
resins regulations due to similarities in processes, emission
characteristics, and control technologies. On January 17, 1997, the EPA
promulgated changes to the HON to remove ambiguity, to clearly convey
EPA intent, and to make the rule easier to understand and implement in
response to industry petitions. It is necessary to make parallel
changes to the polymers and resins NESHAP; otherwise inconsistencies
will exist for NESHAPs regulating similar source categories. An ANPRM
was published in the Federal Register on 11/25/96 (61 FR 59849), to
explain the nature of changes planned. Subsequently, six litigants have
petitioned for review of the elastomers and thermoplastics regulations.
Four companies have petitioned EPA to reconsider specific provisions in
the thermoplastics regulation. Revisions will be proposed to parallel
HON changes and to resolve petitioners' issues. There are no impacts
anticipated for small businesses or State/local/tribal governments.

3407. LOCATION OF SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT AUDITS OF FOREIGN MANUFACTURED
VEHICLES AND ENGINES; AMENDMENT

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7525 CAA sec 206(b)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 86G (Revision); 40 CFR 86K (Revision)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action would consider an amendment to the existing
regulations to include ports of entry as a location for EPA selection
of foreign produced vehicles and engines for SEA emissions testing at
laboratories in the U.S. While the regulations do not specify EPA
authority to conduct such port selections, the increased flexibility
provided by port selections warrants amending the regulations.
Presently, EPA must travel overseas to conduct SEA audits of foreign
manufactured vehicles and engines, even though most manufacturers now
have access to laboratory facilities in the U.S. The benefits include a
reduction in Agency cost since fewer overseas trips would be necessary.
Also, EPA would be able to conduct more audits of foreign manufactured
vehicles and engines.
Separate from the provisions proposed in this NPRM for amendments to
allow port selection for SEAs, EPA is also proposing to make two other
amendments to 40 CFR part 86. The first would amend current Selective
Enforcement Auditing regulations to change the minimum annual limit of
Selective Enforcement Audits per manufacturer to two (2) per year.
Currently, the minimum annual limit is one audit per manufacturer.
Under the proposed amendments EPA would be able to perform a second
audit on those manufacturers that might otherwise be limited to one
audit.
The second additional proposed amendment to part 86 would delete from
subparts A and E references to the Agency representation in certain
types of administrative hearings. The two provisions state that the
Office of General Counsel will represent the Agency in administrative
procedures governing hearings on certification for light-duty vehicles,
light-duty trucks, heavy-duty engines and motorcycles. The Agency is
proposing to delete these two provisions in order to be consistent with
other hearing procedures in part 86.

3409. PROTECTION OF STRATOSPHERIC OZONE: RECONSIDERATION OF SECTION 608
SALES RESTRICTION

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7671(g) CAA sec 608
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 82 subpart F
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The rule will include the reconsideration of the sales
restriction as it relates to split systems. The Agency was petitioned
to reconsider the part of the sales restriction that included the sale
of pre-charged split systems. It restricted such sales to certified
technicians. Since then, EPA stayed that portion of the sales
restriction in response to the petition. This rule will include the
determination of the Agency related to the reconsideration. It
addresses environmental problems of ozone depletion resulting from
emissions of chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and other
ozone-depleting substances. Through restricting sales of certain pre-
charged items to persons certified as technicians, emissions to the
atmosphere are decreased. The impact on small businesses and
governments would be negligible, since persons can become certified if
the EPA determination is a full restriction. Most businesses and
governments will have at least one certified technician on board. This
action has no impact on small business and State, local, and tribal
governments.

3412. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS: RISK MANAGEMENT
PROGRAMS UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT, SECTION 112(R)(7); THIRD PARTY AUDIT
PROVISIONS

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7412(r); 7601 (a)(1)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 68
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action establishes requirements, incentives, and
procedures for third party audits of Risk Management Plans (RMPs) under
40 CFR part 68 that would reduce the need for, and thus the incidence
of, government audits of RMPs submitted by facilities that volunteer
for such an audit. In this context, a third party is someone not
employed by either an RMP-regulated facility or a government agency
responsible for implementing the RMP program (implementing agency).
In the preamble to the final Risk Management Program rule, EPA endorsed
the concept of using third parties to assist in rule compliance and
oversight (61 FR 31705), provided that any such proposal: not weaken
the compliance responsibilities of facility owner/operators; offer cost
savings and benefits to the industry, community, and implementing
agencies that significantly exceed the cost of implementing the
approach lead to a net increase in process safety, particularly for
smaller, less technically sophisticated facilities; and promote cost-
effective agency prioritization of oversight resources. However, no
specific criteria or requirements were specified in the RMP rule to
regulate the activities of facilities, implementing agencies, or third
parties with respect to third party assistance.
A facility's participation in the third party audit program proposed by
this action would be totally voluntary. For facilities who choose not
to participate in the program, this action would have no effect.
However if a facility participates, this regulation would establish the
requirements and regulatory incentives for their participation. For
participating sources, the action would offer the potential for reduced
regulatory burden (while maintaining their compliance
responsibilities), flexible auditing options, and other benefits,
provided the source meets the applicable requirements described in the
rule. This action also would specify the proposed qualification
requirements for persons desiring to act as third party auditors.
EPA believes that this action would promote increased safety among
facilities covered by the risk.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 (Revision)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Since the promulgation of the chromium electroplating NESHAP
we have been informed of several sources that are experiencing
difficulty in

[[Page 62282]]

complying with the concentration limit for new sources even though they
have installed and operate composite mesh pad scrubber technology
similar or identical to that used as the basis for the MACT emission
limit. These sources operate new state-of-the-art plating tanks not
encountered during rule development which feature enclosing hoods that
completely cover the surface of the plating tank. This covered tank
design allows for effective capture and ventilation at substantially
lower exhaust air flow rates than otherwise encountered with more
conventional exterior hooding. Although these sources exceed the new
source standard concentration limit of 0.015 mg/dscm, actual mass rate
emissions are more than 50 percent lower than would otherwise be
achieved with more conventional hooding and higher ventilation rates.
The chromium electroplating standard will be amended to include this
alternative type of control system.

3422. DEVELOPMENT OF REFERENCE METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF SOURCE
EMISSIONS OF FILTERABLE FINE PARTICULATE MATTER AS PM2.5

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51 app M
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, June 15, 2001.

Abstract: Under this action, EPA is initiating the publication of a
reference test method that can be used to quantify that portion of
particulate matter emissions that are solid at stack conditions and are
equal to or less than 2.5 uM in aerodynamic diameter. This test method
is to be used in conjunction with existing and future reference methods
which are designed to quantify condensable particulate and particulate
precursors. Condensable particulate is that portion of particulate
matter emissions that are gaseous at stack conditions but which quickly
condense to a solid form when released to the atmosphere. Particulate
precursors are gaseous compounds which become solids as a result of
chemical reactions in the atmosphere. This test method supports the
amended National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate
matter which was promulgated on July 18, 1997. The NAAQS was revised by
adding new standards for particulate of 2.5 uM aerodynamic diameter. An
important foundation element of State efforts to attain the NAAQS will
be the development of reliable inventories of baseline particulate and
particulate precursor emissions. The emission inventories developed
should be based upon credible source tests of individual facilities or
emission factors developed from credible source tests. At the present
time there is no reference test method available for quantifying the
filterable particulate matter of 2.5 uM aerodynamic diameter from
emission sources.

3423. INSPECTION MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL
FACILITIES; AMENDMENT TO THE FINAL RULE

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 23 USC 101; 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51 (Revision); 40 CFR 93 (New)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has had oversight
and policy development authority for Inspection and Maintenance (I/M)
programs since the passage of the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1970. The 1977
amendments to the CAA mandated I/M for certain areas with long-term air
quality problems and the 1990 amendments set forth standards for
implementation of I/M programs. EPA used the statutory requirements of
the Act, including I/M requirements for Federal facilities, to
promulgate regulations which states would use in the development of
their I/M State Implementation Plans (SIPs). Those rule requirements
effectively gave States certain authorities over the Federal
government. The Department of Justice has now ruled that Federal
sovereign immunity was not fully waived under the CAA for those
requirements and EPA should amend its rule to remove the requirement
that States include those elements in their SIPs. EPA is proposing to:
(1) Amend the Federal facilities I/M requirements by removing that
section; (2) correct existing I/M SIP approval actions which include
these elements; (3) establish new Federal facilities I/M program
requirements which Federal facilities in I/M program areas must meet in
order to comply with the Act; and (4) designate for each State which
section of the Act Federal agencies must comply with based on how that
State promulgated its I/M regulations. These changes will have minimal
to no impact on the States as no new requirements are being created.
The States are under no obligation, legal or otherwise, to modify
existing SIPs meeting the previously applicable requirements as a
result of this action, nor will emissions reduction credit be affected.
However, the changes will clarify for affected Federal facilities what
they must do to meet the CAA requirements by establishing new
regulations per those requirements.

3424. CONTROL OF METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: EPA is considering taking action to control the use of Methyl
Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE), which is an organic compound that is
primarily used as a fuel additive in gasoline. MTBE has been used to
meet the oxygen requirement established by the Federal Reformulated
Gasoline Program (RFG) established by the 1990 amendments to the Clean
Air Act (CAA). Over 85 percent of reformulated gasoline contains MTBE.
EPA is concerned that the widespread use of MTBE may have resulted in
the contamination of groundwater and drinking water supplies,
threatening their future use. While current detections levels are
generally believed to be below levels that may cause public health
concerns, low level MTBE contamination may render water unpotable due
to offensive taste and odor. In November of 1998, EPA established a
Blue Ribbon Panel to investigate air quality benefits and water quality
concerns associated with oxygenates, including MTBE, in gasoline, and
to provide independent advice and recommendations on ways to maintain
air quality while protecting water quality. In September, 1999, the
panel recommended that the use of MTBE be substantially reduced. EPA is
now evaluating the Blue Ribbon Panel's recommendations, and has
conducted a preliminary review of authorities available to address
risks associated with MTBE. EPA intends to issue an advance notice of
proposed rulemaking to inform the public of this preliminary inquiry,
and to solicit public comment on possible regulatory action.

SIP CALL, NOX SIP CALL TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS, AND SECTION 126 RULES

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410(a)(2)(D); 7410(k)(5)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51 (Revision)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On October 27, 1998 (63 FR 57355), EPA issued a rule to
reduce smog in the eastern half of the country. The rule required 22
States and the District of Columbia to reduce emissions of nitrogen
oxides (NOx), which reacts with other chemicals in the atmosphere to
form smog. EPA required these reductions because pollution from each of
these States was transported by the wind and significantly contributed
to unhealthy air quality in downwind states. In response to litigation
from several parties on the NOx SIP call, the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia issued a decision on March 3, 2000
making it clear that EPA and States can and should move forward to
implement this regional strategy. The ruling remanded certain
relatively minor portions of the original rule back to the EPA. This
rulemaking covers the portion of the rule associated with the remanded
issues: certain cogeneration units, internal combustion engines, the
partial State requirements for Georgia & Missouri and the exclusion of
Wisconsin. In this rulemaking, EPA will consider the partial State
issue for Alabama & Michigan and propose SIP submittal dates and
compliance dates, as well. The D.C. Circuit Court also remanded, or
remanded and vacated, the cogeneration unit issue in decisions on the
NOx SIP Call Technical Amendments, and Section 126 Rule on June 8, 2001
and May 15, 2001, respectively. These remands will also be addressed in
this rulemaking.

3430. PETITIONS TO DELIST SOURCE CATEGORIES FROM THE SOURCE CATEGORY
LIST, DEVELOPED PURSUANT TO SECTION 112(C) OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT

Priority: Routine and Frequent
Unfunded Mandates: Undetermined
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, April 21, 2000.

Abstract: The EPA has received 1 petition to remove a SC (2-Piece Can
Manufacturing) from the SC List developed pursuant to Section 112(c) of
the Clean Air Act (CAA). The most current SC List was published on
November 18, 1999 (64 FR 63025). Section 112(c)(9), which provides the
legislative authority and guidelines for such actions, states that the
Administrator may delete a SC from the list under Section 112(c), on
petition of any person or on the Administrator's own motion, whenever
the Administrator determines that no source in the category emits
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in quantities which may cause a
lifetime risk of cancer greater than 1 in one million to the individual
in the population who is most exposed and that emissions from no source
in the category exceed a level which is adequate to protect public
health with an ample margin of safety and that no adverse environmental
effect will result. As of August 30, 2001, 1 petition to delist a SC
has been received. It contains information on HAP emissions, exposures,
health effects, human risks, and potential ecological concerns as well
as the petitioner's explanation why the 2-Piece Can Manufacturing
should be removed from the SC List. The EPA will conduct a
comprehensive review of the petition received then decide whether to
grant or deny the petition. Section 112(c)(9) requires that within 12
months of receipt of a petition, the Administrator shall either grant
or deny the petition by publishing a written explanation of the reasons
for the Administrator's decision. We believe that petitions to delist
source categories are non-significant actions because they do not meet
any of the principles outlined in section A above.

3431. REVISING REGULATIONS ON AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 58 (Revision); 40 CFR 53 (Revision); 40 CFR 50
(Revision)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Air pollution control authorities use air quality data to
determine compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
and in subsequent work to develop air pollution mitigation strategies.
The data come primarily from ambient air monitoring stations run by
State and local agencies, although Federal, tribal, and industrial
organizations also run stations. The design of the monitoring networks
is regulated under 40 CFR 58. This rule was originally written in 1979
and several revisions have been made in the intervening years. Air
pollution control authorities have improved their parts of the network
in response to changes in air quality, advances in the understanding of
the movements and health effects of air pollutants, and developments in
air pollution measurement technology. EPA has also cooperated with air
pollution control authorities to improve the networks, but we have not
revised the applicable regulations comprehensively. The proposed
revisions would remove real or perceived constraints on redeploying air
monitoring stations; more accurately reflect the roles of EPA and other
control authorities in designing, reviewing, and modifying networks;
bring provisions related to quality assurance up to date; and recognize
technological changes. The current regulations require states to
develop plans to deploy air monitoring networks, but they do not
emphasize administering the networks. States generally develop new
plans only when new monitoring is needed, such as for a new NAAQS. The
regulations should be revised to reflect the roles of EPA and the State
and local agencies.

WORK PRACTICES

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: None

[[Page 62288]]

Abstract: 40 CFR part 63 contains OAR's air-toxics emissions
regulations, often referred to as MACT rules or NESHAPS. We are
revising some part 63 standards to reflect changes in delegation
provisions. We are also revising some sections in the part 63
regulations to clarify what are standards and what are compliance
assurance measures. The benefits of the changes will include clarifying
what authorities in each standard can be delegated to State and local
air pollution control agencies and meshing the standards with revisions
previously made to other part 63 regulations.

3433. FEDERAL PLAN REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SOLID
WASTE INCINERATION UNITS CONSTRUCTED ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 30, 1999

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act sections 111;
1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act sections 129; 1990 Amendments to
the Clean Air Act sections 301(a)(d)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 62
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 directed the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set emission guidelines for
existing incinerators combusting commercial or industrial waste under
sections 111 and 129. Final emission guidelines for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) were published on December
1, 2000 (see 65 FR 75338). In accordance with section 129, any State
with affected sources must submit a State plan by December 1, 2001
describing how the State will implement the emission guidelines for
existing CISWI. Section 129 requires the Administrator to develop and
implement a Federal plan for existing CISWI units located in any State
which has not submitted an approvable plan within 2 years of
promulgation of the emissions guidelines. In this CISWI Federal plan
rulemaking, EPA becomes the implementing authority in those instances
where the State has failed to submit a plan or a plan has not yet been
approved. Therefore, consistent with section 129(b)(3) of the Act, EPA
is proposing a plan that applies to CISWI in any State that has not
submitted an approvable plan within the time allotted. This action
makes no changes to the requirements in the rule, and is intended to
fulfill EPA's duty under section 129(b)(3) to promulgate a Federal plan
as a gap-filling measure until the State fulfills its statutory
obligations. When the State submits an approvable State plan, the
Federal plan will no longer apply to units in that State.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401; 42 USC 7403; 42 USC 7426; 42 USC 7601; 42
USC 7651 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 75 (Revision); 40 CFR 97 (Revision)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rulemaking package will propose two types of
modifications to the Code of Federal Regulations: revisions to parts 72
and 75 related to the existing Acid Rain Program; and, revisions to
part 75 and part 97 that are associated with the implementation of the
Federal NOx Budget Trading Program.
The proposed revisions to parts 72 and 75 pertaining to the Acid Rain
Program will improve the program's efficiency and effectiveness. These
revisions include technical corrections and clarifications to the
monitoring procedures that will improve quality of the SO2 and NOx
emissions data. Some reporting requirements will be modified to broaden
and improve electronic reporting provisions in order to reduce industry
burden and facilitate better data management within the Agency.
In support of the Federal NOx Budget Trading Program, EPA will propose
revisions to parts 72, 75, and 97. Parts 72 and 75 will be modified to
introduce procedural requirements for the monitoring and reporting of
output (i.e., electricity, steam, or heated water) for electric
generating units. The proposed revisions to part 97 will satisfy a
commitment the Agency made in the January 18, 2000 final section 126
rule to use output for updating NOx allowance allocations. Our analysis
predicts that updating allocations based on output will reduce air
pollution nationwide and will result in more efficient electricity
generation.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 12 USC 1701 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 subpart 000
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Amino and Phenolic Wood Adhesives Association (APWAA) has
filed a petition for review of the final rule. APWAA has identified two
areas of concern in their statement of issue. First of all APWAA claims
that EPA was unjustified in going above the floor level of control to
include equipment requirements equivalent to the Consolidated Air Rule
(CAR) for new and existing sources. APWAA believes EPA should use the
floor level of control for both new and existing sources. For existing
sources there is no floor, and for new sources the floor level of
control is equivalent to the requirements included in 40 CFR part 60
subpart VV. The second issue identified by APWAA is the way the
requirements for non-reactor batch vents were calculated. The current
rule has a 500 lbs per year applicability cutoff for non-reactor batch
vents at the facility level. APWAA has stated that the cutoff should be
applicable to individual vents instead of the entire facility.

toxic air pollutants indoors and is in response to the July 19, 1999
release of the National Air Toxics Program/Integrated Urban Air Toxics
Strategy (64 FR 38706). The latter strategy recognized that, although
exposures to air toxics indoors may be significant, the risks
associated with indoor exposures are not as well characterized as those
for exposures outdoors. The Indoor Air Toxics Strategy will present the
results of a screening-level ranking and selection of key air toxics
indoors, which was performed to help us prioritize our future efforts
in this area, and will present a plan to work with outside stakeholders
to further characterize and reduce risks from air toxics indoors. The
Indoor Air Toxics Strategy will rely heavily on voluntary, non-
regulatory efforts.

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51.309
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This regulation is for an action anticipated by the regional
haze rule that we published in July 1999. One portion of the regional
haze rule was an optional visibility protection program for nine
Western States. Part of this program for the West, a long-term program
to reduce stationary source emissions of sulfur dioxide, was incomplete
at the time of the 1999 rule. Accordingly, the rule required Western
States to submit an ``Annex'' to an earlier report of the Grand Canyon
Visibility Transport Commission. We required the Annex to contain
sulfur dioxide milestones for the years 2003 to 2018, to establish a
program to track emissions from stationary sources over this time
period, and to provide the details of a market trading program that
would be triggered if a milestone is exceeded. The Western Regional Air
Partnership submitted the Annex on September 29, 2000. The purpose of
this rulemaking is to determine whether the Annex meets the
requirements of the regional haze rule and the Clean Air Act, and if it
does, to amend the regional haze rule to incorporate its provisions.

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 80
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: All gasoline must contain additives to control the formation
of deposits in the fuel supply system and engine of motor vehicles. If
uncontrolled, such deposits can result in a significant increase in
motor vehicle emissions. This action will propose that updated test
procedures be adopted for the certification of gasoline deposit control
additives regarding

[[Page 62291]]

their ability to control fuel injector and intake valve deposits. The
adoption of the updated procedures will ensure that the gasoline
deposit control program continues to ensure an adequate level of
deposit control, thereby preventing an increase in motor vehicle
emissions. The updated test procedures require less time to perform and
are less costly. Therefore, the adoption of the proposed procedures
will reduce the burden on industry of complying with the gasoline
deposit control program. The proposed action will not impact small
businesses, or state, local, or tribal governments.

Abstract: Sources affected by the NSPS for electric arc furnaces
(subparts AA, and AAa) have expressed concerns with the requirements in
the NSPS to use a continuous opacity monitor (COM) to monitor opacity
and report periods when the COM indicated greater than 3 percent
opacity as periods of excess emissions, and have petitioned the EPA to
reconsider the COM requirements. These concerns arise from recent
information that indicate that COM readings may have an error of up to
4 percent, which in itself is greater than the 3 percent excess
emissions threshold. The EPA is reconsidering the COM requirements, and
may amend the NSPS to add alternative monitoring requirements.

3446. CONTROL OF AIR POLLUTION FROM MOTOR VEHICLES AND
ENGINES: ALTERNATIVE LOW-SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL TRANSITION PROGRAM
FOR ALASKA

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7414; 42 USC 7545; 42 USC 7601(a); 42 USC 7625-
1
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 69 and 80 (Revision)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action will carry out a flexibility provision for Alaska
that was included in EPA's heavy-duty diesel rule, which was
promulgated on January 18, 2001. That rule established more stringent
national emission standards for heavy-duty highway vehicles and engines
for the 2007 model year, and a technology-enabling sulfur limit of 15
ppm for highway diesel fuel beginning in 2006. In that rule, EPA
recognized Alaska's unique geographical, meteorological, air quality,
and economic factors and provided Alaska an opportunity to develop its
own plan to transition to low-sulfur highway diesel fuel, as an
alternative to the national transition program. Our goal in offering
this flexibility is to transition Alaska into the low-sulfur fuel
program in a manner that minimizes costs, while ensuring that the new
vehicles and engines receive the low-sulfur fuel they need. As stated
in the Federal Register notice for the diesel rule, if Alaska submits
an alternative plan by April 1, 2002, and if EPA determines that it
provides a reasonable alternative, EPA intends to initiate rulemaking
and, within one year from the date of Alaska's submittal, promulgate a
final rule to incorporate the alternative plan. A stakeholder process
to develop options is already underway in Alaska, and the State
informed EPA that it intends to submit an alternative transition plan
in late 2001 or early 2002. This action will be in response to that
anticipated submittal.

Abstract: Section 206(g) of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to issue a
certificate of conformity for heavy-duty engines or heavy-duty vehicles
which exceed an applicable emission standard, but do not exceed an
upper limit associated with that standard, if the manufacturer pays a
non-conformance penalty (NCP) established by rulemaking. Three basic
criteria are used to determine the eligibility of emission standards
for NCPs. First, the emission standard in question must become more
difficult to meet (e.g., through increased stringency). Second,
substantial work must be required to meet the emission standard. Third,
a technological laggard must be likely to develop. A technological
laggard is defined as a manufacturer who cannot meet a particular
emission standard due to technological difficulties, and, in the
absence of NCPs, might be forced from the marketplace. This rule will
propose that these criteria are fulfilled with respect to the 2004
model year non-methane hydrocarbon plus nitrogen oxide standard
established in 1997 for heavy-duty diesel engines and heavy-duty diesel
vehicles. The rule will propose specific NCPs available for
manufacturers unable to comply with this standard.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 12 USC 1701q
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This rule proposes revisions to the existing Light-Duty On-
Board Diagnostic Requirements, including revisions that will: (1)
require vehicle manufacturers to monitor the catalyst for NOx emission
performance in addition to existing requirements to monitor NMHC
performance, whichever is more stringent; (2) require monitoring of the
evaporative emissions systems for the presence of 0.020`` leaks or
greater and allow for non-intrusive, engine-off methods to perform
monitoring instead of the current requirements to monitor for the
presence of a 0.040'' leak or greater during vehicle operation; (3)
allow the use of the Control Area Network (CAN) Protocol (SAE 15765-4)
for OBD communications in addition to the other allowable SAE (J1850,
J1939) and ISO (9141, 14230-4); (4) new software and hardware changes
to aid in OBD-I/M program implementation including adding vehicle
dentification number (VIN) to the generic datastream, confining the
physical location of the data link connector, and allowing the use of
the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and a special key sequence to
indicate readiness; (5) add new generic data stream parameters to aid
in the repair and diagnosis of vehicle malfunctions; (6) require
manufacturers to record critical pieces of OBD information under the
CAP 2000 In-Use Verification Program (IUVP); and (7) establish new OBD
in-use performance demonstration standards used to determine
appropriate frequency of monitoring in the real world; such in-use
performance standards do not currently exist which places a greater
burden on our in use program.

Abstract: EPA is relaxing the summertime volatility standard (Reid
Vapor Pressure - RVP) for conventional gasoline in the Denver/Boulder
area from 7.8 pounds per square inch (``psi'') to 9.0 psi. This action
is consistent with, and a result of, the actions EPA is taking to
redesignate the Denver/Boulder area to be in attainment with the one-
hour ozone standard and to approve the maintenance plan for the Denver/
Boulder area. It is also consistent with past waivers that EPA has
granted to allow 9.0 psi RVP gasoline in the Denver/Boulder area since
1992. EPA does not believe that this action will cause environmental
harm to the Denver/Boulder area, or that it will adversely impact small
businesses or state and local governments. The area has been in
compliance with the ozone standard since 1987.

3453. MODIFICATION OF AUTHORITY TO GRANT ALTERNATIVE METHOD
APPROVALS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Currently, stationary source regulations cite specific test
methods to demonstrate compliance. If a source locates a test method
which will measure the regulated pollutant(s) with similar precision
and accuracy to the method cited in the regulation, and would like to
use the alternative method, the source must petition the EPA (along
with data documenting the applicability of the alternative) to allow
the alternative method. Each of these alternative method approvals by
letter may currently only be granted to a specific source. Source
category-wide approvals must be published for comment in the Federal
Register. Due to budgetary and time constraints, the process constrains
industry trade associations from developing and submitting alternative
test methods. Therefore, the purpose of this rulemaking is to modify
the regulations to allow source category-wide alternative method
approvals to be issued by letter.

3454. PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONTINUOUS PARAMETER
MONITORING SYSTEMS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 60 app B (New); 40 CFR 60 app F (Revision)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action proposes Performance Specification 17 (PS-17),
Quality Assurance (QA) Procedure 4, and amendments to Appendix F, QA
Procedure 1. Performance Specification 17 and QA Procedure 4 apply to
continuous parameter monitoring systems (CPMS). Many of the rules
promulgated under 40 CFR part 63 require owners and operators of
affected emission units to install and operate CPMS to monitor various
parameters, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and pH,
associated with the operation and performance of emission control
devices. However, few, if any, of those rules specify complete
procedures for ensuring the quality of the data measured by CPMS. The
proposed PS-17 establishes procedures and other requirements that will
ensure that those CPMS are properly selected, installed, and placed
into operation. The proposed QA Procedure 4 specifies procedures that
will ensure that those CPMS provide quality data on an ongoing basis.
Both PS-17 and QA Procedure 4 will help to ensure compliance with
emission limitations established under 40 CFR part 63. Procedure 1 of
Appendix F currently addresses QA procedures for continuous emission
monitoring systems (CEMS) that measure a single pollutant. The proposed
amendments to QA Procedure 1 broadens the procedure to address the
unique requirements of CEMS that are used for monitoring multiple
pollutants. Because several of the regulations promulgated under 40 CFR
part 63 require multiple pollutant CEMS, these amendments are needed to
ensure those CEMS are operated in a manner that ensures the quality of
the emission data collected. This action is not expected to have any
impacts on small entities or State, local, or tribal governments.

MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICULATE MATTER AT STATIONARY SOURCES

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 60 app B; 40 CFR 60 app F
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action would repropose some monitoring specifications
that were originally included in an OSWER proposal to regulate air
emissions from hazardous waste combustors (as explained further below).
It revises several standards and requirements related to continuous
emission monitoring systems for particulate matter (PM). These include:
specifications and test procedures known as Performance Specification
11 (PS-11), and quality assurance requirements known as ``Procedure
2''. The proposed revisions clarify and update performance standards
and monitoring requirements for facilities required to install and use
continuous monitoring equipment to measure particulate matter emissions
from stacks and ducts. The action does not change any emission
standards or add any additional recordkeeping requirements. This action
is a supplement to actions by EPA's OSWER that included proposed
regulations for hazardous waste combustors. The first action was
published in the Federal Register on December 30, 1997 (62 FR 67788).
Recent OAR field studies have revealed needed revisions to PS-11 and
Procedure 2. In view of the significant amount of time that has passed
since the last proposal was published (December 30, 1997) and the
significant amount of knowledge we have recently gained from our field
studies, we believe that a supplemental proposal and another
opportunity for the public to comment on PS-11 and Procedure 2 are
appropriate. The need to do this reproposal only recently became
evident, and we apologize for the short

3464. ADDITION OF METHOD 207 TO APPENDIX M OF 40 CFR PART 51 METHOD FOR
MEASURING ISOCYANATES IN STATIONARY SOURCE EMISSIONS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 listed certain
isocyanate compounds as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). The Agency
does not have any published test methods that would measure air
emissions of these isocyanate compounds from stationary sources. This
action would add a validated test method to measure isocyanate
emissions to appendix M of part 51. Test methods in part 51 can be
adopted by any State for use in any regulation that requires the
measurement of any of the isocyanate compounds on the HAP list. This
action would not impose any new regulatory requirements that do not
already exist. It should benefit State governments by providing them
with a validated test procedure for measuring the emissions of
isocyanate compounds.

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Stratospheric Protection Division currently oversees an
allowance allocation system for the class I ozone-depleting substances.
An allowance allocation system for class II ozone-depleting substances
or hydrochloroflurocarbons (HCFCs) had not been established prior to
1998 because consumption figures had hovered around 80% of the cap
imposed by the Montreal Protocol in 1992. The HCFC consumption figures
for 1999 indicate that the US is within 95% of the cap; the figures for
2000 were in the low 90s. Since the US is in danger of violating this
cap if high HCFC consumption rates continue into 2001, the system for
allocating allowances must be in place as soon as possible in order to
control HCFC consumption for all four quarters of 2002.

3471. PHASE I FEDERAL IMPLEMENTATION PLANS (FIPS) TO REDUCE THE REGIONAL
TRANSPORT OF OZONE IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES

Priority: Economically Significant. Major under 5 USC 801.
Unfunded Mandates: This action may affect State, local or tribal
governments and the private sector.
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 52; 40 CFR 97
Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, EPA is required to promulgate FIPs by
January 25.
NPRM, Statutory, 2003 unless States submit approvable plans.

Abstract: This action would promulgate Federal Implementation Plans
(FIPs) which require nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions decreases. The
intended effect is to reduce the transport of ozone (smog) pollution
and one of its main precursors -- NOx -- across State boundaries in the
eastern half of the United States. On October 27, 1998, EPA published a
final rule (the NOx SIP Call) which allowed States 12 months to
develop, adopt, and submit revisions to their State Implementation
Plans (SIPs) to address the transport problem. The Administrator is
required to promulgate a FIP within 2 years of: (1) finding that a
State has failed to make a required submittal or (2) finding that a
submittal is not complete or (3) disapproving a SIP submittal. On June
22, 2000, the D.C. Court of Appeals assigned a new SIP submittal date
of October 30, 2000. Eleven States (Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama,
Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, and Ohio) and the District of Columbia had not submitted
adequate SIPs, as announced in a findings rule published on December
26, 2000. EPA is continuing to work with these States to assist them in
adopting State plans that meet the requirements of the NOx SIP Call; 4
States and D.C. recently submitted fully approvable plans. (Note: The
FIPs discussed here will apply to all elements of the NOx SIP call that
were not remanded to EPA by the court on March 3, 2000. The portions of
the SIP call that were remanded to EPA will be covered under Phase 2
SIPs, and if necessary, separate FIP actions will be prepared for
those.)

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, April 1, 2001.

Abstract: The CAA required the EPA to publish an initial list of all
categories of major and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
listed in section 112(b) of the CAA and to establish and meet dates for
promulgation of emission standards for each of the listed categories of
HAP emissions sources. The wet-formed fiberglass mat production
industry is not included in

[[Page 62301]]

the initial list of categories for standards development but
information available to the Administrator suggests that the industry
is a major source of HAP emissions and, as such, emission standards
shall be developed for this industry. The standards are to be
technology-based and are to require the maximum degree of reduction
determined to be achievable by the Administrator. The EPA has
determined that the wet-formed fiberglass mat production industry may
be reasonably expected to emit one of the pollutants listed in section
112(b) of the CAA. The purpose of this action is to pursue a regulatory
development program such that emission standards may be promulgated for
this industry. Emission standards for this industry were proposed on
May 26, 2000.

3473. PROTECTION OF STRATOSPHERIC OZONE: RECONSIDERATION ON THE 610
NONESSENTIAL PRODUCTS BAN

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7414; 42 USC 7601; 42 USC 7671-7671(q)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 82(C)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action extends the current class I ban on the sale and
distribution of nonessential uses of ozone-depleting substances where
sufficient substitutes are already readily available. As part of the
initial 1993 rulemaking, EPA banned the use of ozone-depleting
substances in aerosols, pressurized dispensers, and foams where
substitutes were available. Since that rulemaking was issued, the
phaseout of production and consumption of class I substances has become
effective and the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program
under section 612 has been promulgated. The phaseout of newly
manufactured class I substances and the identification of new
acceptable substitutes for both class I and class II applications
provide compelling reasons to reconsider the initial decisions
regarding both product-specific exemptions and the decision to limit
the ban's effect on major sectors that traditionally used ozone-
depleting substances. Most domestic manufacturers have already
incorporated the non-ozone-depleting substances in their products. The
continued availability and use of ozone-depleting substances in parts
and products manufactured abroad, which are sold or incorporated into
larger products that are then sold into interstate commerce in the
United States, negatively affects the competitiveness of domestic
manufacturers who use substitute substances in their production.
Therefore, it is appropriate to reconsider the applicability of the
class I ban to both specific products and product categories. Amending
these requirements would limit the potential use of ozone-depleting
substances in applications where substitutes are available and thus,
further protect the stratospheric ozone layer.

quantities sufficient to designate them as major sources. As a
consequence, integrated iron and steel facilities are among the HAP-
emitting source categories selected for regulation.

3478. NESHAP: REINFORCED PLASTIC COMPOSITES PRODUCTION

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: Project is to develop a NESHAP for the source category which
involves the manufacture of composite products involving thermoset
resins and re-enforcements. Some of the specific products in the source
category are tubs/showers, auto/truck parts, appliances, furniture,
piping, construction materials, sporting goods using such materials,
and intermediate compounds such as bulk molding compound and sheet
molding compounds. The most common HAP in the resins used is styrene,
which is present in polyester and vinylester resins as a monomer.
Styrene is listed as a candidate urban area source HAP. So is methylene
chloride, which is sometimes used for cleaning, and xylenes, which may
appear in some mold release formulas. All HAP, except for methylene
chloride, are also VOC's.

Abstract: The General Provisions (subpart A) were promulgated on March
16, 1994 (59 FR 12408). The General Provisions create the technical and
administrative framework and establish general procedures and criteria
for implementing MACT standards. On May 16, 1994, six litigants filed
petitions for EPA to review certain provisions of the General
Provisions. Subpart B, the procedures for implementing section 112(j),
was promulgated on May 26, 1994. In June, 1994 litigants filed
petitions for EPA to review the promulgated procedures. As a result of
the litigation, it is anticipated that a number of technical and
administrative amendments to subpart A and B will be proposed.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CAA sec 112
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: The EPA has determined that paint stripping operations emit
at least one of the HAP's listed in section 112(b) of the Clean Air
Act. As a result, the source category was included on the initial list
of HAP-emitting categories scheduled for promulgation within 10 years
of enactment of the Act. There are several emission standards for other
source categories (for example, aerospace manufacturing and wood
furniture manufacturing) that already address emissions from paint
stripping operations. We are currently in the process of determining if
there are any other major sources of HAP emissions from paint stripping
operations that are not already regulated. Furthermore, HAP emissions
from paint stripping operations that are area sources will be regulated
in the future as part of the urban air toxics strategy.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: This is a 10-year MACT covering the HAP emissions from the
manufacturing of Rubber tires. The emission sources associated with the
rubber compound mixing (banbury); extruding calendaring; building;
curing and finishing are covered in this MACT. Forty-one facilities
have been initially identified. This includes approximately 35
facilities of at least 10 tpy and 26 facilities of at least 25 tpy.
Emissions are primarily associated with rubber processing and the use
of HAP-bearing solvent and cements. Several facilities have eliminated
through substitution much of the HAP-bearing solvent and cements.
However, evaluation of the MACT and separation of the rubber processing
emissions from HAP-bearing solvents and cement will reduce the number
of affected facilities to about 30. In addition, the tire cord coating
operations will also be included. Typically these facilities are
separate non-colocated operations. The major pollutant associated with
tire cord is formaldehyde. There are approximately 12 affected major
facilities.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: Clean Air Act Section 112(b)(3)
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, February 28, 2000.

Abstract: The Agency has received 4 petitions to remove certain
pollutants (i.e., methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethylene glycol butyl
ether, and methyl isobutyl ketone) from the list of hazardous air
pollutants (HAPs) under Section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act. The Agency
must review the petitions and either grant or deny the petition within
18 months of the date the complete petition was received. If the Agency
grants a petition, a notice of proposed rulemaking will be published in
the Federal Register, allowing the opportunity for public comment. If
the Agency denies a petition, a notice of denial will be published in
the Federal Register providing an explanation for such denial. If the
Agency grants a petition and ultimately removes the pollutant from the
HAP list then sources emitting such pollutants would not be required to
meet MACT emissions standards for the pollutant. If on the other hand,
the Agency denies the petition, then MACT standards would be issued as
currently planned under Section 112(c) and 112(d) of the Clean Air Act
for sources emitting such pollutants. Depending on the 4 individual
determinations, the Agency will issue separate notices for each.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CAAA 112(g) (q); PL 95-95
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 61.93(a); 40 CFR 61.93(b)(2)(ii)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Subparts H and I of 40 CFR part 61 establish limits, under
the Clean Air Act, for radionuclide emissions (other than radon) from
Department of Energy (DOE) and other non-DOE federal facilities. These
Subparts require emission sampling, monitoring, and calculations to
identify compliance with the standard. The current air sampling
methodology required by the standards is embodied in ANSI-N13.1-1969, a
consensus guidance document that is incorporated by reference in EPA's
standards. That guidance was updated in 1999, and contains new
technical recommendations (that differ from the 1969 version) for
obtaining representative air samples. In this rule, EPA is updating
subparts H and I to incorporate the new sampling guidance, ANSI-N13.1-
1999, and require its use for new facilities and for those undergoing
significant changes to ventilation systems. Existing facilities will be
allowed to continue sampling in accordance with the current
requirements.

3495. NESHAP FOR FLEXIBLE POLYURETHANE FOAM FABRICATION OPERATIONS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 41 USC 7401 et seq
[[Page 62308]]
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 (Revision)
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, November 15, 2000.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires development of emission
standards for major sources emitting any of the hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) listed in section 112(b) of the CAA. The EPA is
proposing a rule to reduce emissions of toxic air pollutants from
flexible polyurethane foam fabrication operations. Toxic air
pollutants, or air toxics, are those pollutants known, or suspected, to
cause cancer and other serious health problems. This proposal focuses
on reducing air toxics emitted from two foam fabrication emission
sources: 1) loop slitter adhesive use, which includes processes that
use adhesives to bond foam to foam or to other substrates (i.e., cloth,
foam, plastic, and other materials) using scorched or melted foam.

(HALON 1011) PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, December 31, 2001, See additional
information.

Abstract: EPA is amending its regulations for the production and import
of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). Through this action, EPA
implements certain amendments made in 1999 (Beijing Amendments) to the
Montreal Protocol (Protocol). This action implements the elements of
the Beijing Amendments that add control measures for the chemical
chlorobromomethane (CBM). Consistent with the Beijing Amendments, this
action adds CBM to the list of substances addressed by production and
consumption controls of both the Montreal Protocol and EPA's
regulations under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). The
action creates a new group of class I substances, places CBM in this
new group, and, consistent with the Beijing Amendments, designates the
value of CBM's ``ozone depleting potential'' (ODP) as 0.12. This action
establishes a phaseout of CBM production and import to be effective as
of January 1, 2002. No allowances for production of CBM to meet ``basic
domestic needs'' of Article 5 countries are provided in this action.
Consistent with the Beijing Amendments, the action also bans trade in
CBM with countries which are not parties to or in compliance with the
Beijing Amendments. This action imposes recordkeeping and reporting
requirements associated with production, import, export, destruction,
transhipment, essential uses and feedstock uses of CBM, but these
requirements would not become effective until EPA's information
collection request has been finalized. The ban does not apply to CBM
production for use as a feedstock or for destruction. The ban also does
not apply to CBM imports for use as a feedstock or for destruction, or
to CBM imports of transhipments and heels, as long as those imports are
from countries that are a party to or in compliance with the Beijing
Amendments.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act; sections 111(d)
129 and 301(a)(d)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 62 (New)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 directed the EPA to set
emission guidelines for existing municipal waste combustion units
(MWCs) under sections 111 and 129. On 12/19/95, the EPA adopted
emission guidelines for MWCs under the authority of sections 111(d) and
129 of the Clean Air Act. These emission guidelines covered all MWC
units located at plants with an aggregate plant combustion capacity
larger than 35 tons per day of municipal solid waste. Subsequent
litigation cancelled the emission guidelines for small MWC units, but
the Court directed EPA to adopt a new rule for small MWC units. This
rule was adopted on December 6, 2000. This action is a follow-on
activity to this rulemaking. In this proposed MWC Federal Plan for
small units, EPA becomes the implementing authority in those instances
where the state or local agency fails to submit a plan or a plan has
not yet been approved. This action makes no changes to the rule and is
intended to fulfill EPA's duty under pection 129(b)(3) to promulgate a
Federal Plan as a gap-filling measure until the State fulfills its
statutory obligations. When the State submits an approvable State plan,
the Federal plan will no longer apply to units in the State.

Abstract: The goal of the anti-dumping program is to maintain gasoline
quality throughout the country. Without the program, as refiners
produce cleaner, reformulated gasoline for certain localities under the
Clean Air Act, they could take the chemicals removed and ``dump'' them
into supplies of ``ordinary'' non-reformulated gasoline as a cost-
saving measure. The anti-dumping program prohibits this. This rule
amends the existing anti-dumping program to accommodate certain
refiners with unusual data problems.

amends, and revises certain provisions of the Tier 2/Gasoline Sulfur
regulations to assist regulated entities with program implementation
and compliance. First, it makes minor corrections to clarify the
regulations governing compliance with the gasoline sulfur standards.
Second, with respect to the low sulfur gasoline program, it removes the
anti-backsliding provision of the Geographic Phase-in Area (GPA)
program by establishing a flat GPA gasoline standard of 150 ppm sulfur.
Third, it amends certain provisions of the Averaging, Banking, and
Trading (ABT) programs to assist domestic and foreign refiners and
importers in generating sulfur credits and allotments. Fourth, it
clarifies and amends certain downstream standards for parties in the
gasoline distribution system to assist them with program compliance.
Finally, today's action makes minor revisions to the regulations
governing compliance with the vehicle standards.

3509. MODIFICATION OF THE ANTI-DUMPING BASELINE DATE CUT-OFF
LIMIT FOR DATA USED IN DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL BASELINE

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7414; 42 USC 7521(1); 42 USC 7545; 42 USC
7601(a)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 80.91(b)(1)(i); 40 CFR 80.93(a)
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: ``Dumping'' refers to the practice whereby refiners making
clean fuels for certain markets (such as reformulated gasoline for
clean-air purposes) take the pollutants removed from the clean fuels
and ``dump'' them into other fuels they are producing for other
markets. This, if allowed, would make those other fuels even dirtier
than before, and so the Clean Air Act prohibits this practice. EPA has
existing ``anti-dumping'' rules on the books that codify this Clean Air
Act prohibition. This regulation is a minor technical amendment to
those existing regulations. It would amend a portion of those
regulations to allow the use of data collected after January 1, 1995 in
the development of baselines, and it would establish a cut-off date of
January 1, 2002 for the submission of all individual baselines under
the anti-dumping program. This date is the same as that allowed for
foreign refineries seeking a unique individual baseline under the anti-
dumping program.)

3512. PROJECT XL SITE-SPECIFIC RULEMAKING FOR ANDERSEN CORPORATION'S
FACILITY IN BAYPORT, MINNESOTA

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 740 to 7671q
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 52
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The proposed rule would implement a project under the Project
XL program for the Andersen Corporation facility located in Bayport,
Minnesota. The terms of the project are defined in a draft Final
Project Agreement (FPA) which is being made available for public review
and comment by the Federal Register notice. The proposed site-specific
rule, applicable only to the Andersen Bayport facility, would
facilitate implementation of the project. Through the notice, EPA
solicits comment on the proposed rule, the draft FPA, and the project
generally. The proposed site-specific rule is intended to provide
regulatory changes under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) to
implement Andersen's XL project, which will result in superior
environmental performance and, at the same time, provide Andersen with
greater operational flexibility. The proposed site-specific rule would
change some of the CAA requirements which apply to the Andersen Bayport
facility for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program,
in particular existing synthetic minor limits that apply to some VOC
sources in the Bayport facility. Synthetic minor limits are operational
and control limitations which serve to limit the net emissions increase
associated with proposed new or modified units or systems to less than
the applicable significance level and thereby keep them out of PSD
review.

3515. REVIEW OF MINOR NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS IN INDIAN COUNTRY

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is
undetermined.
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410
CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: As required by the Clean Air Act's New Source Review (NSR)
provisions, the EPA is proposing Federal regulations governing
preconstruction permitting of minor and major stationary sources of air
pollution in Indian country. Pursuant to the Tribal Air Rule, eligible
Indian tribes may receive EPA authorization to develop and implement
such programs. The Federal NSR permitting programs would be effective
throughout Indian country and would be implemented by EPA if eligible
Indian tribes do not elect, or do not receive authorization, to manage
such programs. The proposed Federal minor NSR rule would require
sources in Indian country, with certain exceptions, to obtain a permit
prior to construction if they are: (1) new minor sources, (2) existing
minor sources undergoing modification, or (3) existing major sources
undergoing minor modification. The proposed rule also would allow new
or existing stationary sources to accept enforceable limits on their
production capacity or hours of operation in order to be considered
minor sources and avoid being subject to other Clean Air Act
requirements such as the title V operating permit program. The proposed
Federal major NSR rule would require sources in nonattainment areas in
Indian country to obtain a permit prior to construction if they are:
(1) new major sources, or (2) existing major sources undergoing major
modification. These rules would not impose any mandates on tribal
governments to implement NSR permitting programs. Tribal governments
may be affected, however, insofar as they own or operate sources that
must obtain a permit from the EPA under the final Federal permitting
program regulations.

3516. FEDERAL MAJOR NEW SOURCE REVIEW (NSR) PROGRAM FOR NONATTAINMENT

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 124; 40 CFR 51.165; 40 CFR 52.10; 40 CFR 52.24
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Clean Air Act (Act) (title I, part D) requires that
construction permit programs for new or modified major stationary
sources of air pollution be established for areas not attaining the
NAAQS. This action will add Federal rules at 40 CFR 52.10 for
permitting the construction of new or modified major stationary sources
in certain nonattainment areas where State, local, or tribal rules in
whole or in part are not in place that meet the statutory permitting
requirements. These rules will basically incorporate the requirements
for State nonattainment NSR permit programs, codified at 40 CFR
51.165(a), with supplemental provisions added to make explicit the
permit requirements of section 173 of the Act and certain long-standing
policies regarding nonattainment NSR permitting. This action will also
change 40 CFR 52.24 to specify that the requirements of 40 CFR 52.10
govern any permits issued in certain nonattainment areas where
acceptable nonattainment NSR rules are not in place. Changes to 40 CFR
part 124 will specify that the permit processing, public participation,
and permit appeal requirements that otherwise apply to Federal PSD
permitting will also apply, in most cases, to Federal nonattainment NSR
permitting under 40 CFR 52.10.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401-7671
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51.850 to 51.860; 40 CFR 93.150 to 93.160
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act prohibits Federal
entities from taking actions which do not conform to the State
implementation plan (SIP) for the attainment and maintenance of the
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). In November 1993, EPA
promulgated two sets of regulations to implement section 176(c). First,
on November 24, EPA promulgated the Transportation Conformity
Regulations to establish the criteria and procedures for determining
that transportation plans, programs, and projects which are funded
under title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Act conform with the SIP.
Then, on November 30, EPA promulgated regulations, known as the General
Conformity Regulations, to ensure that other Federal actions also
conformed to the SIPs. Since 1993, EPA has amended the transportation
conformity rule three times in response to stakeholders' requests. The
EPA is working on a separate revision to address transportation
conformity in transitional areas which will be final by December 1998.
The EPA has not reviewed or revised the General Conformity Regulations
since their 1993 promulgation. Several Federal agencies have identified
concerns over the implementation of the General Conformity Regulations,
including the requirements for areas designated nonattainment for the
newly promulgated NAAQS. In conjunction with an ad hoc work group of
representatives from several Federal agencies, EPA will review the
implementation of the General Conformity Regulations. The EPA will then
propose and promulgate any appropriate revision to those regulations.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410(a)(2)(G); 42 USC 7603
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 51 app L; 40 CFR 51.150 to 51.153
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: 40 CFR part 51.150-51.153 require States to have contingency
plans to prevent air pollution levels from reaching the significant
harm level (SHL) for CO, O3, SO2, NOx, and PM. Appendix L provides
example guidance to the States on appropriate courses of action to take
at each episode stage (i.e., alert, warning, and emergency) to ensure
the SHL is not reached. These requirements were developed in the
1970's, based on the NAAQS from that era. Since that time, ambient air
quality levels have decreased nationwide. Today, many areas/sources
that no longer need episode plans must still develop them. This rule
would update and simplify the criteria used to determine which areas
would require episode plans. Areas with no more than one exceedance of
the Alert level over the past 5 years would not need to develop
emergency episode plans. Sources with the potential to cause
exceedances of the SHL due to a process/control equipment malfunction
would need to develop source contingency plans to prevent (and to
respond to) such malfunctions. Appendix L would also be revised to
reflect the revised program requirements. The result will be a
sensible, credible program replacing an outdated program.

Offices. The RERP presents the EPA organizational structure and concept
of operations for responding to radiological incidents as a participant
in a Federal multi-agency response using the Federal Radiological
Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) and the Federal Response Plan (FRP),
and

[[Page 62316]]

the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan

3524. PROTECTION OF STRATOSPHERIC OZONE: UPDATE OF THE SUBSTITUTES LIST
UNDER THE SIGNIFICANT NEW ALTERNATIVES POLICY (SNAP) PROGRAM

Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 7414; 42 USC 7601; 42 USC 7671(k) CAA sec 612
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 82; 40 CFR 9
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 612 of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to identify
alternatives to Class I and II ozone depleting substances and to
publish lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes. Producers of
substitutes must notify EPA at least 90 days before alternatives are
introduced into interstate commerce. Unlike acceptable alternatives
(see Notices), substitutes which are deemed by EPA to be unacceptable
or acceptable subject to use restrictions must go through notice and
comment rulemaking. Substitute lists are updated intermittently
depending on the volume of notifications.

3525. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS: RISK
MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT, SECTION 112(R)(7);
AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC; TECHNICAL AMENDMENT

Priority: Info./Admin./Other
Legal Authority: CAA 112(r)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 68.210
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and its
implementing regulations at 40 CFR Part 68 require certain stationary
sources to report an Off-site Consequence Analysis (OCA), including a
worst-case release scenario, in a Risk Management Plan (RMP) that is to
be made available to the public. In response to concerns that posting
OCA information on the Internet might increase the risk of terrorist
and other criminal activities, on August 5, 1999 the Chemical Safety
Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act was enacted.
The Act requires the President to promulgate regulations governing the
distribution of the OCA sections of RMPs that, in the opinion of the
President, would minimize the likelihood of accidental releases and the
risk of terrorist and other criminal activities associated with posting
this information. The President delegated his rulemaking authority to
the Attorney General and the Administrator of EPA, who jointly
promulgated the required regulations at 40 CFR part 1400. The part 1400
regulations restrict the public's access to the OCA sections of RMPs in
certain ways. As currently drafted, however, section 68.210(a) of part
68 states that RMPs are available to the public under CAA section 114,
which makes information collected under the CAA, including RMPs in
their entirety, available to the public, except for confidential
business information. EPA is therefore revising 40 CFR section
68.210(a) to reflect the August 2000 rulemaking and the revision will
state that OCA data is made available to the public under the
provisions of 40 CFR part 1400.

3526. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS: RISK
MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT, SECTION 112(R)(3);
REVISIONS TO THE LIST OF SUBSTANCES

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: CAA 112(r)
CFR Citation: 40 CFR 68.130
Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The list of substances subject to the Chemical Accident
Prevention requirements at 40 CFR part 68 was promulgated on January
31, 1994. The Clean Air Act states that the list may be revised from
time to time by EPA's own motion or by petition and shall be reviewed
at least every 5 years. Since the January 1994 final list rule, EPA has
modified the listing for hydrochloric acid; deleted a category of
explosive chemicals; exempted flammable substances in gasoline used as
fuel and in naturally occurring hydrocarbon mixtures prior to initial
processing; and excluded flammable substances used as a fuel or held
for sale as a fuel at a retail facility. In fulfillment of the
statute's five-year review requirement, EPA has conducted a thorough
review of the list. Based on that review, EPA is proposing additions,
deletions and modifications to the
