Notice of Receipt of a Request From the State of Texas for a Waiver of a Portion of the Renewable Fuel Standard
In accordance with section 211(o)(7) of the Clean Air Act (the Act), 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(7), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of a request for a waiver of 50 percent of the renewable fuel standard (RFS) ``mandate for the production of ethanol derived from grain.'' The request has been made by the Governor of the State of Texas. Section 211(o)(7)(A) of the Act allows the Administrator of the EPA to grant the waiver if implementation of the national RFS requirements would severely harm the economy or environment of a state, a region, or the United States, or if EPA determines that there is inadequate domestic supply of renewable fuel. EPA is required by the Act to provide public notice and opportunity for comment on this request.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans South Carolina: Interstate Transport of Pollution
EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC), on June 25, 2007, pursuant to the requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA requires each state to submit a SIP revision within three years of a revision to the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP revision must include provisions adequate to address emissions that may adversely affect another state's air quality through interstate transport of the revised NAAQS pursuant to the CAA. On July 18, 1997, EPA published revisions to the NAAQS for ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). SC DHEC's June 25, 2007, SIP revision addresses the elements required by section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA with regard to ozone and PM2.5, and as a result, it is approvable.
Update of Continuous Instrumental Test Methods: Technical Amendments
EPA is taking final action to correct errors in a final rule published May 15, 2006, that updated five continuous instrumental test methods. As published, the rule contained inadvertent errors and provisions that needed to be clarified. We published a direct final rule with a parallel proposed rule on September 7, 2007 to correct the errors and to add clarifying language. However, we received an adverse comment on the direct final rule, and it was subsequently withdrawn on November 5, 2007. This action finalizes the parallel proposal. In this final rule, EPA corrects errors, clarifies certain provisions, and responds to the adverse comment received on the direct final rule published on September 7, 2007.
