Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is announcing a public meeting to receive comments and questions on the EPA Nanomaterial Case Studies (https://cfpub.epa.gov/ ncea/cfm/recordisplay.cfm?deid=230972; https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/ recordisplay.cfm?deid=226723). This meeting will also afford EPA an opportunity to highlight the Nanomaterial Case Studies and how they are being used as part of an ongoing process to refine a long-term research strategy to support the comprehensive environmental assessment of nanomaterials. All interested public parties are requested to register to attend this workshop. Space is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Comments may be submitted in writing or as brief oral statements during specified periods of the meeting. EPA intends to consider all such comments in evaluating whether or how to develop further case studies and workshops on nanomaterials.
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designations of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Georgia: Rome; Determination of Attaining Data for the 1997 Annual Fine Particulate Standards
Document Number: 2010-31208
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-12-13
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing to determine that the Rome, Georgia, fine particulate (PM2.5) nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as ``the Rome Area'') has attained the 1997 annual average PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Rome Area is comprised of Floyd County in its entirety. This proposed clean data determination is based upon complete, quality-assured and certified ambient air monitoring data for the 20072009 period showing that the Area has monitored attainment of the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. If EPA finalizes this proposed clean data determination, the requirements for the Area to submit an attainment demonstration and associated reasonably available control measures (RACM), a reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, contingency measures, and other planning State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions related to attainment of the standard shall be suspended so long as the Area continues to attain the annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
Action To Ensure Authority To Issue Permits Under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program to Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Finding of Substantial Inadequacy and SIP Call
Document Number: 2010-30854
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-12-13
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The EPA is issuing a finding that the EPA-approved state implementation plans (SIP) of 13 states (comprising 15 state and local programs) are substantially inadequate to meet Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements because they do not apply Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements to greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting sources. In addition, EPA is issuing a ``SIP call'' for each of these states, which requires the state to revise its SIP as necessary to correct such inadequacies. Further, EPA is establishing a deadline for each state to submit its corrective SIP revision. These deadlines, which differ among the states, range from December 22, 2010, to December 1, 2011.
