SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 29, 2024, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published in the Federal Register a proposed rule entitled, ‘‘Export Administration Regulations: Crime Controls and Expansion/Update of U.S. Persons Controls’’ (89 FR 60998), which proposed to establish certain ForeignSecurity End User (FSEU) and ‘‘U.S. persons’’ activities controls and Commerce Control List-based (CCL) controls. The proposed additions of the foreign-security end user control and ‘‘U.S. persons’’ activities controls would implement expanded authority under the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA), as amended, to control certain ‘‘U.S. persons’’ activities under the EAR. BIS is proposing amendments to control ‘‘support’’ furnished by ‘‘U.S. persons’’ to identified FSEUs. In addition, BIS is proposing to add to the CCL two new unilateral item controls on facial recognition technology. In response to requests from the regulated community, the Department of Commerce is extending the comment period for 15 days. * * * * * Thea D.

AGENCY: SUMMARY: Determination for St. Clair, as well as publicly available additional supporting 2020 data. This action, if finalized, will address EPA’s obligation under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to determine whether the St. Clair SO2 nonattainment area (referred to hereafter as the St. Clair area, or simply the area) attained the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the September 12, 2021, attainment date. Alexis Bender, Air and Radiation Division (AR–18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886–9497, bender.alexis@ epa.gov. The EPA Region 5 office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays and facility closures due to COVID–19. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean EPA. PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 78837 I. Background A. The 2010 1-Hour Primary SO2 NAAQS Under section 109 of the CAA, EPA has established primary and secondary NAAQS for certain pervasive air pollutants (referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants’’) and conducts periodic reviews of the NAAQS to determine whether they should be revised or whether new NAAQS should be established. On June 22, 2010 (75 FR 35520), EPA published in the Federal Register a strengthened, primary 1-hour SO2 NAAQS, establishing a new standard at a level of 75 ppb, based on the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of daily maximum 1-hour average concentrations of SO2. This revised SO2 NAAQS provided increased protection of public health and provided for revocation of the 1971 primary annual and 24-hour SO2 standards for most areas of the country following area designations under the new NAAQS. B. Designations and Attainment Dates for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS Following promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, EPA is required to designate all areas of the country as either ‘‘attainment,’’ ‘‘nonattainment,’’ or ‘‘unclassifiable,’’ pursuant to CAA section 107(d)(1). On July 12, 2016 (81 FR 45039), EPA finalized its second round of initial designations under the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. During the second round of designations, the St. Clair area of Michigan was designated as nonattainment for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS (40 CFR 81.323) based on modeling of actual emissions for the designated area. CAA section 191(a) directs states containing an area designated nonattainment for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS to develop and submit a nonattainment area State Implementation Plan (SIP) to EPA within 18 months of the effective date of an area’s designation as nonattainment. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) was required to submit a SIP by March 12, 2018, to bring the St. Clair area into attainment by the attainment date of September 12, 2021. EGLE submitted a request for a Clean Data Determination (CDD) on July 24, 2020. When a nonattainment area is attaining the 2010 SO2 NAAQS based on the most recent available data, EPA may issue a CDD suspending planning requirements. EPA issued a CDD for the St. Clair area based on monitoring and modeling data for the 2017–2019 period via a final rule published on December 7, 2021 (86 FR 69173). E:\FR\FM\26SEP1.SGM 26SEP1
