program and regional offices, is used to
inform the development of an IRIS
Assessment Plan (IAP).
The IAP communicates the plan for
developing each individual chemical
assessment to the public and includes
summary information on the IRIS
Program’s scoping and initial problem
formulation activities, objectives and
specific aims for the assessment, and a
PECO (Populations, Exposures,
Comparators, and Outcomes) for the
systematic review. The PECO provides
the framework for developing detailed
literature search strategies and
inclusion/exclusion criteria, particularly
with respect to evidence stream (e.g.,
human, animal, mechanistic), exposure
measures, and outcome measures. The
IAP serves to inform the subsequent
development of chemical-specific
systematic review protocols, which will
be made available for public review.

ACTION:
In accordance with section

(‘‘CAA’’ or the ‘‘Act’’), notice is given of
a proposed consent decree in Our
Children’s Earth Foundation v. Wheeler,
No. 3:19–cv–07125 (N.D. Cal.). On
October 29, 2019, Our Children’s Earth
Foundation filed a complaint in the
United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, alleging
that the Administrator of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’) failed to perform nondiscretionary duties to review the
existing New Source Performance
Standards (‘‘NSPS’’) governing
Secondary Lead Smelters (‘‘Secondary
Lead Smelters NSPS’’); Lead-Acid
Battery Manufacturing Plants (‘‘LeadAcid Battery Manufacturing NSPS’’);
Industrial Surface Coating: Surface
Coating of Plastic Parts for Business
Machines (‘‘Industrial Surface Coating
of Plastic Parts for Business Machines
NSPS’’); and Automobile and Light Duty
Truck Surface Coating Operations
(‘‘Automobile and Light Duty Truck
Surface Coating Operations NSPS’’), and
to review the existing National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(‘‘NESHAP’’) governing Dry Cleaning
Facilities: National Perchloroethylene
Air Emission Standards (‘‘Dry Cleaning
Facilities NESHAP’’); Paint Stripping
and Miscellaneous Surface Coating
Operations at Area Sources (‘‘Paint
Stripping and Miscellaneous Surface
Coating Operations NESHAP’’), and
Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Area
Sources (‘‘Lead Acid Battery

proposed consent decree would
establish deadlines for EPA to take
action on these source categories.

Notice of Availability
The FDIC is issuing this
request for information (RFI) as part of
its FDiTech initiative to promote the
efficient and effective adoption of
technology at FDIC-supervised banks
and savings associations (financial
institutions), particularly at community
banks, and to facilitate the supervision
of technology usage at these institutions
without increasing costs or regulatory
burden. The FDIC is committed to
increasing transparency, improving
supervisory and regulatory efficiency,
supporting innovation in banking, and
providing opportunities for public
feedback. This RFI seeks input on
whether a standard-setting and
voluntary-certification program could be
established to support financial
institutions’ efforts to implement
models and manage model risk by
certifying or assessing certain aspects of
the models themselves, and to conduct
due diligence of third-party providers of
technology and other services by
certifying or assessing certain aspects of
the third-party providers’ operations or
condition. The FDIC is especially
interested in information on models and
technology services developed and
provided by financial technology
companies, sometimes referred to as
‘‘fintechs.’’

contact information in the body of your comment. This ensures that you
can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to
contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your
comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of
a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment.
Use of the https://www.regulations.gov website to submit comments
to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments.
The electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
