Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2003
The Draft Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2003 is available for public review. Annual U.S. emissions for the period of time from 1990-2003 are summarized and presented by source category and sector. The inventory contains estimates of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), perflourocarbons (PFC), and sulfur hexaflouride (SF6) emissions. The inventory also includes estimates of carbon sequestration in U.S. forests. The technical approach used in this report to estimate emissions and sinks for greenhouse gases is consistent with the methodologies recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and reported in a format consistent with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting guidelines. The Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks is the latest in a series of annual U.S. submissions to the Secretariat of the UNFCCC.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office is announcing the formation of an ad hoc SAB panel to review the Agency's ``All-Ages Lead Model (AALM)'' (hereinafter, the ``Ad Hoc AALM Review Panel'' or ``Panel''), and is hereby soliciting nominations for this Panel.
Azinphos-methyl; Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily Cancel or to Amend to Terminate Uses of Certain Pesticide Registrations
In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of requests by the technical registrants to amend their registrations to terminate uses of certain products containing the pesticide azinphos-methyl. The requests would terminate azinphos- methyl use in or on caneberries, cotton, cranberries, nectarines, peaches, potatoes, and southern pine seed orchards. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless, based on substantive comments received during the comment period or other relevant information, the Agency determines that the requests merit further review. Upon granting these requests, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Indiana
The EPA is approving revisions to the particulate matter (PM) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission requirements for Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer). Pfizer operates a medicinal chemical manufacturing facility in Vigo County, Indiana. On October 7, 2004, Indiana submitted a request for PM and SO2 emissions limit revisions as an amendment to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) at the Vigo County facility. Pfizer has removed five boilers from its facility. Indiana has requested the deletion of the site-specific PM and SO2 emission limits for all five removed boilers. A new boiler has replaced three of the removed boilers. The new boiler is subject to the current New Source Performance Standard limits for PM and SO2 emissions. There will be no increase in PM or SO2 emissions as a result of the requested revisions.

Standards of Performance for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units for Which Construction Is Commenced After September 18, 1978; Standards of Performance for Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units; and Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units
Pursuant to section 111(b)(1)(B) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA has reviewed the emission standards for particulate matter (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOX) contained in the standards of performance for electric utility steam generating units, industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units, and small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units. This action presents the results of EPA's review and proposes amendments to standards consistent with those results. Specifically, we are proposing amendments to the PM, SO2, and NOX emission standards. We are also proposing to replace the current percent reduction requirement for SO2 with an output-based SO2 emission limit. We are also proposing an amendment to the PM emission limit. In addition to amending the emissions limits, we also are proposing several technical clarifications and corrections to existing provisions of the current rules.
