The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a guidance entitled ``Guidance for Industry: The Safety of Imported Traditional Pottery Intended for Use With Food and the Use of the Term `Lead Free' in the Labeling of Pottery; and Proper Identification of Ornamental and Decorative Ceramicware.'' FDA is issuing the guidance in response to recent findings of lead contamination of imported traditional pottery labeled as ``Lead Free.'' The guidance identifies several key practices that manufacturers of pottery may implement to help ensure that lead contamination of non- lead glazed (NLG) pottery will not occur and also reminds manufacturers of existing requirements for properly labeling certain ornamental and decorative ceramicware as not for use for food-handling purposes.

The National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC) will meet on December 7-8, 2010 at the American Institute of Architects Building, 1735 New York Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20006. The meeting will be held in the Gallery Room. The NGAC, which is composed of representatives from governmental, private sector, non-profit, and academic organizations, was established to advise the Federal Geographic Data Committee on management of Federal geospatial programs, the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, and the implementation of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-16. Topics to be addressed at the meeting include:

The Big Horn County Resource Advisory Committee will meet in Greybull, Wyoming. The committee is meeting as authorized under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (Pub.

EPA is partially approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Colorado on June 18, 2009. Specifically, EPA is approving the portions of the ``State of Colorado Implementation Plan to Meet the Requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)Interstate Transport Regarding the 1997 8- Hour Ozone Standard'' addressing the ``interference with maintenance'' requirement of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) by any other state. The ``interference with maintenance'' requirement of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) prohibits a state's emissions from interfering with maintenance of the NAAQS by any other state. This action is being taken under section 110 of the CAA.

EPA is proposing to approve in part and disapprove in part State implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of California to provide for attainment of the 1997 annual and 24-hour PM2.5 national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin area (South Coast nonattainment area). The submitted SIP revisions are contained in the South Coast 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (South Coast 2007 AQMP) and portions of the 2007 State Strategy as revised in 2009. Specifically, EPA is proposing to approve the emissions inventories as meeting the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's fine particulate implementing regulations. EPA is also proposing to approve commitments to propose specific measures and meet specific aggregate emissions reductions by the South Coast Air Quality Management (District) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) because the commitments strengthen the SIP. Finally, EPA is proposing to approve the air quality modeling demonstration as meeting the requirements of the CAA and EPA guidance. EPA is proposing to disapprove the attainment demonstration because it does not provide sufficient emissions reductions from adopted and EPA approved measures to provide for attainment of the NAAQS. As a result, EPA is also proposing to disapprove the reasonably available control measures/reasonably available control technology (RACM/RACT) and reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstrations and proposing not to grant California's request to extend to April 5, 2015 the deadline for the South Coast nonattainment area to attain the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS because these requirements are linked to approving the attainment demonstration under the 1997 PM2.5 implementation rule. We are also proposing to disapprove the assignment of 10 tpd of NOX to the federal government. Finally, EPA is proposing to disapprove PM2.5 contingency measures and the motor vehicle emissions budgets (budgets) for the area's RFP years and attainment year. To the extent that the State can remedy the shortfall in emissions reductions for the attainment demonstration, which is the basis for the proposed disapproval of the attainment demonstration, EPA believes that many of the noted deficiencies could be addressed.
