The EPA is announcing an extension of the public comment period for the proposed rule entitled ``Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of California; PM-10; Affirmation of Determination of Attainment for the San Joaquin Valley Nonattainment Area.'' The proposed rule was initially published in the Federal Register on August 27, 2007. Written comments on the proposed rule were to be submitted to EPA on or before September 26, 2007 (a 30-day comment period). The EPA is extending the public comment period until October 26, 2007.
Proposed Settlement Agreement, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit
In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (``Act''), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given of a proposed settlement agreement, to address three lawsuits filed by the American Iron and Steel Institute, the Specialty Steel Industry of North America and the Steel Manufacturers Association. [American Iron and Steel Institute et. al v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, No. 00-1434 consolidated with Nos. 00-1435 and 05-1135 (D.C. Cir.)]. In these cases, petitioners asked the Court to review final rules promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relating to the New Source Performance Standards for Electric Arc Furnaces, 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts AA and AAa, and the Amendments to Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources: Monitoring Requirements (PS-1) 65 FR 48914 (August 10, 2000). Under the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, the EPA would execute a letter explaining its position regarding the proper use of continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) data with respect to the 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts AAa and AAa NSPS for electric arc furnace (EAF) steel facilities.
Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit
In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (``Act''), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given of a proposed consent decree. On February 3, 2006, the Center for Biological Diversity and four other plaintiffs (collectively, ``Plaintiffs'') filed an amended complaint alleging that EPA failed to perform its mandatory duty under CAA section 109(d)(1) to periodically review the air quality criteria for nitrogen oxides (``NOX'') and sulfur oxides (``SOX'') and the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (``NAAQS'') for nitrogen dioxide (``NO2'') and sulfur dioxide (``SO2''), to make such revisions to these air quality criteria and NAAQS as may be appropriate, and to promulgate such new NAAQS as may be appropriate. Center for Biological Diversity, et al. v. Johnson, No. 05-1814 (D.D.C.). The proposed consent decree establishes a schedule for EPA's review and, if appropriate, revisions of the air quality criteria for SOX and NOX and the NAAQS for NO2 and SO2 NAAQS.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, Glass Manufacturing, and Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing
EPA is proposing national emission standards for the Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, Glass Manufacturing, and Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing area source categories. The proposed emissions standards for new and existing sources are based on EPA's proposed determination as to what constitutes the generally available control technology or management practices for each area source category.
Revision of Source Category Lists for Standards Under Sections 112(c) and 112(k) of the Clean Air Act; and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking Facilities
EPA is adding electric arc furnace steelmaking facilities to the list of source categories subject to regulation under Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112(c)(6) and revising the area source category list for the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. At the same time, EPA is proposing national emission standards for electric arc furnace steelmaking facilities that are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The proposed standards establish requirements for the control of mercury emissions that are based on the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) and requirements for the control of other hazardous air pollutants that are based on generally available control technology or management practices.
