FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On June 29, 2016, the Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency
(OEPA) submitted a request for the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to redesignate the partial Cuyahoga
County nonattainment area (known as
and referred to as the Cleveland area) to
attainment for the 2008 national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS
or standards) for lead. EPA determined
that the Cleveland area meets the
requirements for redesignation and is
also proposing to approve several
additional related actions. EPA is
proposing to approve, as revisions to the
Ohio state implementation plan (SIP),
reasonably available control measure/
reasonably available control technology
(RACM/RACT) requirements, emissions
inventory requirements, and the state’s
plan for maintaining the 2008 lead
NAAQS through 2030 for the area. EPA
is taking these actions in accordance
with the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA’s
implementation regulations regarding
the 2008 lead NAAQS.

In the
Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is proposing to approve
the State’s SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse

in § 260.20(d).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ExxonMobil submitted a petition under
40 CFR 260.20 and 260.22(a). Section
260.20 allows any person to petition the
Administrator to modify or revoke any
provision of parts 260 through 266, 268,
and 273. Section 260.22(a) specifically
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
24925
provides generators the opportunity to
petition the Administrator to exclude a
waste on a ‘‘generator specific’’ basis
from the hazardous waste lists.
EPA bases its proposed decision to
grant the petition on an evaluation of
waste-specific information provided by
the petitioner. This decision, if
finalized, would conditionally exclude
the petitioned waste from the
requirements of hazardous waste
regulations under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
If finalized, EPA would conclude that
ExxonMobil’s petitioned waste is nonhazardous with respect to the original
listing criteria. EPA would also
conclude that ExxonMobil’s process
minimizes short-term and long-term
threats from the petitioned waste to
human health and the environment.
