Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District and South Coast Air Quality Management District
EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern particulate matter emissions from open burning; wood burning fireplaces and heaters; and the storage, handling, and transportation of coke, coal, and sulfur. We are proposing to approve local rules that regulate these emissions under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, California Air Resources Board Consumer Products Regulations
EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California Air Resources Board's Consumer Products portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from consumer products. We are approving State rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
Access to Confidential Business Information by Computer Sciences Corporation's Identified Subcontractor
EPA has authorized a subcontractor, of its prime contractor, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) of Chantilly, VA, to access information which has been submitted to EPA under all sections of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Some of the information may be claimed or determined to be Confidential Business Information (CBI).
Environmental Impact Statements and Regulations; Availability of EPA Comments
EPA expressed environmental objections to Alternative 2 based on the likelihood of mining and timber harvest activities to increase temperatures in Sucker Creek, and impact Cedar Gulch and the un-named creek in the project area. In addition, we have concerns about potential impacts to listed species; coho salmon and northern spotted owl, and reclamation and long term site recovery. Rating EO2.
Metolachlor, S-Metolachlor, Bifenazate, Buprofezin, and 2,4-D; Proposed Tolerance Actions
EPA is proposing to modify, establish and revoke certain tolerances for the herbicides metolachlor and S-metolachlor and correct the tolerance guava (from guave) on bifenazate and buprofezin and 2,4-D on cranberry. The regulatory actions proposed in this document are in follow-up to the Agency's reregistration program under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and tolerance reassessment program under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), section 408(q).
Chlorantraniliprole; Pesticide Tolerances
This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of chlorantraniliprole in or on almonds; nut, tree, crop group 14, and pistachios. E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). This regulation also establishes time-limited rotational crop tolerances for residues of chlorantraniliprole in or on cowpeas, forage and hay; field peas, vines and hay; forage, fodder and straw of cereal grains, crop group 16; grass forage, fodder and hay, crop group 17; leaves of root and tuber vegetables, crop group 2, leeks, nongrass animal feeds (forage, fodder, straw and hay), crop group 18; okra; onions, green; onions, Welsh; peanuts, hay; shallots; soybeans, forage and hay; strawberries and sugarcane, sugar. The time-limited tolerances expire on April 25, 2010.
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Illinois; Oxides of Nitrogen Regulations, Phase II
EPA is proposing to approve a request submitted by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) on October 23, 2007, to revise the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP). The rules submitted by Illinois EPA satisfy the requirements of EPA's NOX SIP Call Phase II Rule (the Phase II Rule). We are proposing to approve these regulations based on Illinois' demonstration that the State will meet the emissions targets set forth in the Phase II Rule through reductions from stationary internal combustion (IC) engines and turbines which are identified in the NOX plan submittal. Limiting NOX emissions from IC engines and turbines will enable the State to meet the 7,055 ton reduction requirement contained in the Phase II Rule, thereby improving air quality and protecting the health of Illinois citizens.

The State has submitted revisions to 35 Illinois Administrative Code (Ill. Adm. Code) parts 211 and 217. The submitted revisions are final and adopted in the Ill. Adm. Code, and pertain to definitions and general provisions, and control of Nitrogen Oxides (NOX). The rules satisfy the requirements of EPA's NOX SIP Call Phase II Rule (the Phase II Rule). We are approving these regulations based on Illinois' demonstration that the State will meet the emissions targets set forth in the Phase II Rule through reductions from stationary internal combustion (IC) engines and turbines which are identified in the NOX plan submittal.
