Granting Petitions To Add 1-bromopropane (Also Known as 1-BP) to the List of Hazardous Air Pollutants
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting petitions to add n-propyl bromide (nPB) (Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) No. 106-94-5) to the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) contained in the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA is taking final action to grant these petitions based on the petitioners having met the requirements contained in CAA section 112(b)(3), which allows any person to petition the Administrator to add a substance to the list of HAP. The term 1-bromopropane (1-BP), which is used throughout this document, is the common name for nPB. This is the first occasion on which the EPA is granting petitions to add a substance to the list of HAP that Congress created in 1990. Following this action, the EPA will take a separate regulatory action to add 1-BP to the list of HAP under CAA section 112(b)(1).

Air Plan Approval; Rhode Island; Reasonably Available Control Technology for the 2008 and 2015 Ozone Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Rhode Island. The SIP revision consists of a demonstration that Rhode Island meets the requirements of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for the two precursors for ground-level ozone, oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), set forth by the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) with respect to the 2008 and 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQSs or standards). Additionally, we are proposing approval of specific regulations that implement the RACT requirements by limiting air emissions of NOX and VOC pollutants from sources within the State. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
Fulvic Acid; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of fulvic acid when used as an inert ingredient (carrier) in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops and to raw agricultural commodities after harvest. Nutri Ag Inc. 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 fulvic acid when used in accordance with the terms of the exemption.
Approval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; New Jersey; Gasoline Vapor Recovery Requirements
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a revision to the New Jersey State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards which includes regulatory amendment revisions relevant to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's requirements for Stage I and Stage II vapor recovery systems at gasoline dispensing facilities. New Jersey's comprehensive submittal also included changes in amendments for its air permitting program and t-butyl acetate emission reporting requirements, however, the EPA will be acting on these amendments under a separate action.
Fenpyroximate; Pesticide Tolerances
This regulation establishes and amends tolerances for residues of fenpyroximate in or on multiple commodities which are identified and discussed later in this document. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
