Opportunity for Organizations That Have Expertise in Sustainable Development and Sustainable Facilities To Cooperate With a New Initiative in EPA's Office of Site Remediation Enforcement
The Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Site Remediation Enforcement (OSRE) within the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) is interested in cooperating with organizations with expertise in sustainable development and sustainable facilities (e.g., non-profit organizations, universities, trade associations, organizations that practice sustainable development, etc.) in connection with its Environmentally Responsible Redevelopment and Reuse (ER3) initiative. Please note that EPA will not compensate cooperating organizations for their efforts in connection with this initiative.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Brick and Structural Clay Products Manufacturing: Reconsideration
On May 16, 2003, EPA promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing sources at brick and structural clay products (BSCP) manufacturing facilities (the final rule). Subsequently, the Administrator received a petition for reconsideration of the final rule. The EPA is announcing our reconsideration of and requesting public comment on one issue arising from the final rule. Specifically, we are requesting comment on our decision to base the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) requirements for certain tunnel kilns on dry limestone adsorption technology. We plan to issue a final decision on this issue as expeditiously as possible. We are seeking comment only on this issue. We will not respond to any comments addressing any other issue or any other provisions of the final rule or any other rule.
Tetraconazole; Time-Limited Pesticide Tolerance
This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for residues of tetraconazole, 1-[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-(1,1,2,2- tetrafluoroethoxy)propyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole in or on sugarbeet roots at 0.05 parts per million (ppm), sugarbeet top at 3.0 ppm, sugarbeet dried pulp at 0.15 ppm, sugarbeet molasses at 0.15 ppm, meat of cattle, goat, horse, and sheep at 0.05 ppm, liver of cattle, goat, horse, and sheep at 4.0 ppm, fat of cattle, goat, horse, and sheep at 0.30 ppm, meat byproducts except liver of cattle, goat, horse and sheep at 0.10 ppm and milk at 0.05 ppm. Sipcam Agro USA, Inc. requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). Registrations will be limited to the following States: Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Wyoming where use has previously occurred under section 18 of FIFRA. The tolerances will expire on November 30, 2012.
Adequacy Status of Submitted State Implementation Plans (SIP) for Transportation Conformity Purposes: MOBILE6 Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria 1-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area
In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that we have found the on-road motor vehicle emissions budgets contained in the revision to the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria severe 1-hour ozone nonattainment area attainment demonstration SIP adequate for transportation conformity purposes. As a result of our finding, the budgets from the submitted attainment demonstration SIP revision must be used for future conformity determinations in the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area.
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Memorandum of Agreement Between Texas Council on Environmental Quality and the North Central Texas Council of Governments Providing Emissions Offsets to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport
EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Texas on February 23, 2004. This revision concerns the Dallas-Fort Worth ozone nonattainment area. Specifically, EPA is approving incorporation of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) into the SIP. This MOA commits the NCTCOG to provide the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFWIA) with emissions offsets in the amount of 0.18 tons per day (tpd) of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and 0.04 tpd of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in 2007, and to adjust the modeled 2015 on- road emission estimates to reflect an increase of 1.17 tpd of NOX and 0.26 tpd of VOCs, which must be accommodated in future transportation conformity determinations. This action is necessary in order for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to address requirements under the general conformity regulations for the proposed DFWIA project. The rationale for the final approval action and other information are provided in this document.
Environmental Impact Statements and Regulations; Availability of EPA Comments
EPA expressed concern due to wetland and stream impacts associated with the proposed action, and requested that wetland impacts associated with the clear zones be included in the mitigation plan. EPA also requested that the wetland avoidance alternative (Alternative 5) should be carried forward for detail study to more closely track the alternatives analysis requirements under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
