The Advisory Committee was established November 30, 1983, to advise the Export-Import Bank on its programs and to provide comments for inclusion in the reports of the Export-Import Bank of the United States to Congress.

The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a public teleconference of the chartered SAB to conduct a quality review of an SAB draft report on approaches to derive a maximum contaminant level goal for perchlorate.

EPA discussed, but did not propose, a new method, ASTM D7575, for oil and grease in the 2010 proposed Methods Update Rule (MUR). Oil and grease is a method-defined parameter. That is, the nature and amount of material determined by the method is defined in terms of the method. EPA subsequently published a Notice of Data Availability (NODA) on this method that provided new data and requested comment on whether and how EPA should approve the method in Part 136 as an alternative oil and grease method. This document provides EPA's final decision on its reconsideration of this method.

EPA is approving and announcing the availability of the latest version of the California EMFAC model (short for EMission FACtor) for use in state implementation plan (SIP) development and transportation conformity in California. EMFAC2011 is the latest update to the EMFAC model for use by California state and local governments to meet Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. The new model, which is based on new and improved data, calculates air pollution emissions factors for passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles, motor homes and buses. Today's notice also sets the date after which EMFAC2011 is required to be used statewide in all new regional emissions analyses and carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter of ten microns or less (PM10) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) hot-spot analyses for transportation conformity determinations in California. Since the EMFAC model is used only in California, EPA's approval of the model does not affect MOVES model users in other states.

The Office of Government Ethics is issuing this final rule to amend the regulation that describes financial interests that are exempt from the prohibition in 18 U.S.C. 208(a). These final rule amendments would revise the existing regulatory exemptions by: Creating a new exemption that permits Government employees to participate in particular matters affecting the financial interests of nonprofit organizations in which they serve in an official capacity as officer, director or trustee, notwithstanding the employees' imputed financial interest under 18 U.S.C. 208(a); and revising the existing exemption for interests in the holdings of sector mutual funds to clarify that it applies to interests in the holdings of sector unit investment trusts.
