Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) Inviting Applications for Biorefineries
This notice announces the acceptance of applications for funds available under the BioRefinery Assistance Program (the ``Program'') to provide guaranteed loans for the development and construction of commercial-scale biorefineries or for the retrofitting of existing facilities using eligible technology for the development of advanced biofuels. Applications will be accepted for biorefineries that produce transportation fuels that meet the Renewable Fuel Standard or are currently undergoing an appeal to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for inclusion in the Renewable Fuel Standard, or that produce non-transportation renewable energy that results in a reduction in greenhouse gases. There will only be one application window under this Notice.
Notice of Contract Proposal (NOCP) for Payments to Eligible Advanced Biofuel Producers
This Notice announces the acceptance of applications to enter into Contracts to make payments to Eligible Advanced Biofuel Producers under the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels to support and ensure an expanding production of Advanced Biofuels. Under this Notice, applications will be accepted for Biorefineries that produce transportation fuels that meet the Renewable Fuel Standard or are currently undergoing an appeal to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for inclusion in the Renewable Fuel Standard, or that produce non-transportation renewable energy that results in a reduction in greenhouse gases. The Agency will authorize up to $40 million in funding for this program for fiscal year (FY) 2010.
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Repowering Assistance Payments to Eligible Biorefineries
This Notice announces the acceptance of applications for payments to eligible biorefineries to encourage the use of renewable biomass as a replacement fuel source for fossil fuels used to provide process heat or power in the operation of these eligible biorefineries. Under this Notice, applications will be accepted for biorefineries that produce transportation fuels that meet the Renewable Fuel Standard or are currently undergoing an appeal to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for inclusion in the Renewable Fuel Standard, or that produce non-transportation renewable energy that results in a reduction in greenhouse gases.
Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program
EPA is proposing several revisions to the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards for persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. EPA is particularly concerned about dust-lead hazards generated by renovations because of the well-documented toxicity of lead, especially to younger children. This proposal includes additional requirements designed to ensure that lead-based paint hazards generated by renovation work are adequately cleaned after renovation work is finished and before the work areas are re-occupied. Specifically, EPA is proposing to require dust wipe testing after many renovations covered by the RRP rule. For a subset of jobs involving demolition or removal of plaster through destructive means or the disturbance of paint using machines designed to remove paint through high-speed operation, such as power sanders or abrasive blasters, this proposal would also require the renovation firm to demonstrate, through dust wipe testing, that dust-lead levels remaining in the work area are below regulatory levels.
Lead; Amendment to the Opt-Out and Recordkeeping Provisions in the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program
EPA is finalizing several revisions to the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2008. The RRP rule established accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards on persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-occupied facilities. In this document, EPA is eliminating the ``opt-out'' provision that currently exempts a renovation firm from the training and work practice requirements of the rule where the firm obtains a certification from the owner of a residence he or she occupies that no child under age 6 or pregnant women resides in the home and the home is not a child- occupied facility. EPA is also requiring renovation firms to provide a copy of the records demonstrating compliance with the training and work practice requirements of the RRP rule to the owner and, if different, the occupant of the building being renovated or the operator of the child-occupied facility. In addition, the rule makes minor changes to the certification, accreditation and state authorization requirements.
Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings
EPA is giving advance notice of the Agency's intention to regulate the renovation, repair, and painting of public and commercial buildings under section 402(c)(3) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This notice announces the commencement of proceedings to propose lead-safe work practices and other requirements for renovations on the exteriors of public and commercial buildings and to determine whether lead-based paint hazards are created by interior renovation, repair, and painting projects in public and commercial buildings. For those renovations in the interiors of public and commercial buildings that create lead-based paint hazards, EPA will propose regulations to
