Alternative Work Practice To Detect Leaks From Equipment
Document Number: E6-5005
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-04-06
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
Numerous EPA air pollution standards require specific work practices for equipment leak detection and repair (LDAR). The current work practice requires the use of a monitor which meets required performance specifications. This work practice is based on 25-year-old technology. New technology has been developed which we believe provides equal, or better, environmental protection than that provided by the current work practice. This action proposes a voluntary alternative work practice (AWP) for finding leaking equipment using optical gas imaging.
Lead; Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program; Extension of Comment Period
Document Number: E6-4998
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-04-06
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
On January 10, 2006, EPA proposed new requirements to reduce exposure to lead hazards created by renovation, repair, and painting activities that disturb lead-based paint in the Federal Register. The proposal supports the attainment of the Federal government's goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning by 2010. The proposal discussed requirements for training renovators and dust sampling technicians; certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and renovation firms; accrediting providers of renovation and dust sampling technician training; and for renovation work practices. This notice announces a 45-day extension of the comment period for the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program proposed rule. This extension is necessary to provide the public with an opportunity to review and comment on materials recently added to the docket.
National Emission Standards for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (Bulk Gasoline Terminals and Pipeline Breakout Stations)
Document Number: 06-3315
Type: Rule
Date: 2006-04-06
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
On December 14, 1994, we promulgated National Emission Standards for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (Bulk Gasoline Terminals and Pipeline Breakout Stations). Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act directs us to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) after the application of national emission standards controls for hazardous air pollutants. Also, section 112(d)(6) requires us to review and revise the national emission standards as necessary by taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies. On August 10, 2005, we proposed not to revise the national emission standards based on our residual risk assessment and technology review. This action finalizes that decision not to revise the national emission standards and amends a reference error.
