ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:50 Oct 25, 2010 Jkt 223001 EPA is proposing to approve a request submitted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on August 22, 2008, to revise the Ohio State Implementation Plan under the Clean Air Act. The State has submitted revisions to twelve rules and rescinded one rule in Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Chapter 3745–17, ‘‘Particulate Matter Standards.’’ The revisions were submitted by Ohio EPA to satisfy the State’s 5-year review requirements. The particulate matter (PM) standards contain the particulate emission control requirements that have been necessary to attain and maintain the 2006 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM in the State. EPA is proposing to approve the revisions to nine of the OAC 3745–17 rules. EPA proposes approving only a portion of Rule 7, while not acting on the portion providing a partial exemption from opacity limits for a lime kiln in Woodville, Ohio. We are proposing to conditionally approve Rule 11 based on a commitment by Ohio to address EPA’s concerns with the large item size exemptions. EPA is not acting on Rule 3, regarding opacity measurement methods. Lastly, EPA is proposing to approve the rescission of Rule 5 from the Ohio SIP.

The Serve America Act amended the DVSA by requiring the Corporation to develop a competitive process for selecting grant recipients for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (‘‘RSVP’’) beginning in fiscal year 2013. Section 201(e) of the DVSA requires that the Corporation promulgate regulations within 18 months of the enactment of the Serve America Act establishing the competitive grantmaking process for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. The competitive process, as directed by statute, will include the use of peer review panels with expertise in senior service and aging, site visits as E:\FR\FM\26OCP1.SGM 26OCP1
