Addition of National Toxicology Program Carcinogens; Community Right-to-Know Toxic Chemical Release Reporting
EPA is proposing to add sixteen chemicals to the list of toxic chemicals subject to reporting under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) of 1986 and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). These sixteen chemicals have been classified by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) in their Report on Carcinogens (RoC) as ``reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.'' EPA believes that these sixteen chemicals meet the EPCRA section 313(d)(2)(B) criteria because they can reasonably be anticipated to cause cancer in humans. As in past chemical reviews, EPA adopted a production volume screen for the development of this proposed rule to screen out those chemicals for which no reports are expected to be submitted. Based on a review of the available production and use information, these sixteen chemicals are expected to be manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in quantities that would exceed the EPCRA section 313 reporting thresholds.
Public Hearings for the Mandatory Reporting Rule for Greenhouse Gases
The EPA is announcing two public hearings to be held for proposed rules related to mandatory reporting of greenhouse gases, which will be published separately in the Federal Register. These proposed rules would amend the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases rule, published on October 30, 2009 by requiring reporting of greenhouse gases from additional industry source categories.
Revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan; Pinal County
EPA is finalizing approval of revisions to the Pinal County portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions were proposed in the Federal Register on August 17, 2009 and concern particulate matter (PM) emissions from construction, earthmoving, and related activities, and commercial and residential unpaved parking lots. We are approving these local rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).
Idaho: Incorporation by Reference of Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Program
The EPA proposes to codify in the regulations entitled ``Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs,'' Idaho's authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions of the State regulations that are authorized and that the EPA will enforce under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, commonly referred to as the Resource Conversation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
Idaho: Incorporation by Reference of Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Program
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, (RCRA), allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to authorize State hazardous waste programs if EPA finds that such programs are equivalent to and consistent with the Federal RCRA program and if such programs provide adequate enforcement of compliance. The regulations are used by EPA to codify its decision to authorize individual State programs and incorporate by reference those provisions of the State statutes and regulations that are subject to EPA's RCRA inspection and enforcement authorities as authorized provisions of the State's program. This direct final rule revises the codification of the authorized Idaho hazardous waste management program and incorporates by reference authorized provisions of the State's statutes and regulations.
