Environmental Protection Agency July 9, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

EPA is proposing approval of revisions adopted by the State of Colorado on December 15, 2005, to Regulation No. 3 (Stationary Source Permitting and Air Pollutant Emission Notice Requirements.) Colorado submitted the request for approval of these rule revisions into the State Implementation Plan (SIP) on August 21, 2006. The revisions remove repealed provisions in Regulation No. 3 that pertain to the issuance of Colorado air quality permits; the revisions also implement other minor administrative changes and renumbering. The intended effect of this action is to propose to approve the rules that are consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA.) This action is being taken under section 110 of the CAA.

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Pasteuria spp. (Rotylenchulus reniformis nematode)Pr3 in or on all food commodities when applied as a nematicide and used in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. Pasteuria Bioscience, Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Pasteuria spp. (Rotylenchulus reniformis nematode)Pr3 under the FFDCA.

This Notice provides an opportunity to comment on the EPA's revised Hazard Ranking System (HRS) scoring for the Leeds Metal site in Leeds, Maine. The site was proposed to the National Priorities List (NPL) on September 16, 2011.
