Notice of the Availability of the Draft Framework for the U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program: Border 2020
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (Mexico's Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources, SEMARNAT) is announcing the availability of the draft document, ``Border 2020: U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program''. Border 2020 is an eight-year, bi-national, results-oriented, environmental program for the U.S.-Mexico border region, which has been developed by the EPA and SEMARNAT, the 26 U.S. border Tribes, the indigenous communities of Mexico and the environmental agencies from each of the ten U.S.-Mexico border states. The proposed Border 2020 Program is the latest multi-year, bi- national planning effort to be implemented under the La Paz Agreement and succeeds Border 2012, a ten-year program that will end in 2012. The mission of Border 2020 is ``to protect public health and the environment in the U.S.-Mexico border region, consistent with the principles of sustainable development''. EPA is requesting comments from interested parties and border stakeholders on the draft Border 2020 Framework.
Amendments to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Plating and Polishing
On June 12, 2008, the EPA issued national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the plating and polishing area source category under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). On June 20, 2011, the EPA proposed amendments to clarify that the emission control requirements of the plating and polishing area source NESHAP did not apply to any bench-scale activities. The amendments also made several technical corrections and clarifications that are not significant changes in the rule's requirements. In addition, on June 20, 2011, the EPA issued a direct final rule amending the area source standards for plating and polishing area sources. Since we received an adverse comment, we are withdrawing the direct final rule today simultaneously with this final rule.
