Environmental Protection Agency November 9, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Tin Oxide; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
Document Number: 2018-24585
Type: Rule
Date: 2018-11-09
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of tin oxide (CAS Reg. No. 18282-10-5) when used as an inert ingredient (seed treatment colorant) not to exceed 40% by weight in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops. Exponent on behalf of Aceto Corporation submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of tin oxide.
Air Plan Approval; Kentucky; Attainment Plan for Jefferson County SO2
Document Number: 2018-24582
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2018-11-09
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, submitted under a cover letter dated June 23, 2017, by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Kentucky Division for Air Quality (KDAQ) on behalf of the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (District or Jefferson County) to EPA, for attaining the 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) primary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for the Jefferson County SO2 nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as the ``Jefferson County nonattainment area,'' ``nonattainment Area'' or ``Area''). The Jefferson County nonattainment area is comprised of a portion of Jefferson County in Kentucky surrounding the Louisville Gas and Electric Mill Creek Electric Generating Station (hereafter referred to as ``Mill Creek'' or ``LG&E''). This plan (hereafter called a ``nonattainment plan'' or ``SIP'' or ``attainment SIP'') includes Kentucky's attainment demonstration and other elements required under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). In addition to an attainment demonstration, the plan addresses the requirement for meeting reasonable further progress (RFP) toward attainment of the NAAQS, reasonably available control measures and reasonably available control technology (RACM/RACT), base-year and projection-year emissions inventories, enforceable emission limits, nonattainment new source review (NNSR) and contingency measures. EPA proposes to conclude that Kentucky has appropriately demonstrated that the nonattainment plan provisions provide for attainment of the 2010 1- hour primary SO2 NAAQS in the Jefferson County nonattainment area by the applicable attainment date and that the nonattainment plan meets the other applicable requirements under CAA.
Adopting Subpart Ba Requirements in Emission Guidelines for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills; Correction

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an information collection request (ICR), ``EPA Strategic Plan Information on Source Water Protection'' (EPA ICR No. 1816.07, OMB Control No. 2040-0197) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described in this renewal notice.

Revisions to the Source-Specific Federal Implementation Plan for Navajo Generating Station, Navajo Nation
Document Number: 2018-24482
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2018-11-09
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing limited revisions to the source-specific federal implementation plan (FIP) that regulates emissions from the Navajo Generating Station (NGS), a coal- fired power plant located on the reservation lands of the Navajo Nation near Page, Arizona. We are proposing to lower the emission limitation for particulate matter (PM) to conform to the most stringent emission limitation currently applicable to NGS under another EPA regulation, and to replace the opacity limitation and annual PM source testing requirement with a requirement to demonstrate compliance with the lower PM emission limitation using a continuous emission monitoring system for particulate matter.
