Environmental Protection Agency May 3, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Pesticides; Technical Amendment to Data Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticides
Document Number: 2019-09115
Type: Rule
Date: 2019-05-03
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is finalizing a correction pertaining to the ``200 ppb (parts per billion) level'' described in the antimicrobial pesticides data requirements regulation to clarify that the 200 ppb level is based on total estimated daily dietary intake for an individual and not on the amount of residue present on a single food, as was incorrectly implied by the previous regulatory text. This change is intended to enhance understanding of the data required to support an antimicrobial pesticide registration and does not alter the burden or costs associated with these previously-promulgated requirements. This action does not otherwise establish any new data requirements or any other revisions (substantive or otherwise) to existing requirements.

The State's submittal is in response to EPA's February 3 and December 11, 2017, Findings of Failure to Submit (FFS) final rule, which found that Wisconsin failed to satisfy CAA requirements for implementation of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in nonattainment areas.

Type: Rule

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Colorado on February 25, 2015, and May 24, 2017. These SIP revisions are necessary for Colorado to address current federal prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) and nonattainment new source review (NSR) regulations. In this rulemaking, we are taking final action on all portions of the February 25, 2015, and May 24, 2017 submittals, except for those portions of the submittal which have been previously acted on or do not belong in the SIP. The intended effect of this action is to bring Colorado's PSD and nonattainment NSR permitting programs in line with federal requirements. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
