Call for Information on the Integrated Science Assessment for Lead
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is preparing an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) as part of the review of the primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Lead (Pb). The ISA will be completed by EPA's Office of Research and Development's Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment (CPHEA). When final, the ISA is intended to update the previous Pb ISA (EPA/600/R-10/075F), published on June 26, 2013. Interested parties are invited to assist EPA in developing and refining the scientific information base for the review of the Pb NAAQS by submitting research studies and data that have been published, accepted for publication, or presented at a public scientific meeting since January 1, 2011.
Public Workshop; Laminated Products-Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products
EPA is announcing a public workshop to discuss the laminated product provisions and the rulemaking petition for exemption from the definition of hardwood plywood in the formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products final rule of 2016. The workshop will aid with informing potential development of future guidance for petitioning EPA for an exemption under the 2016 final rule. The primary audience for this public workshop is Third Party Certifiers (TPCs), panel producers, and fabricators or laminated product producers who contract with TPCs to certify composite wood products under the 2016 final rule. This workshop is also open to the general public.
Determination of Attainment by the Attainment Date for the Salt Lake City, Utah and Provo, Utah 2006 24-Hour PM2.5
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule in the Federal Register on June 8 2020, determining that the Salt Lake City, Utah and Provo, Utah Serious PM2.5 nonattainment areas had attained the 2006 24-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for PM2.5 and this document corrects information displayed in a Table within that proposed rule.
Modernizing Ignitable Liquids Determinations
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing updates to the regulations for the identification of ignitable hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and to modernize the RCRA test methods that currently require the use of mercury thermometers. These revisions provide greater clarity to hazardous waste identification, provide flexibility in testing requirements, improve environmental compliance, and, thereby, enhance protection of human health and the environment.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) Residual Risk and Technology Review
This action finalizes the residual risk and technology review (RTR) conducted for the Organic Liquids Distribution (Non-Gasoline) (OLD) source category regulated under National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing amendments to the storage tank requirements as a result of the RTR. In addition, we are taking final action to correct and clarify regulatory provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM); add requirements for electronic reporting of performance test results and reports, performance evaluation reports, compliance reports, and Notification of Compliance Status (NOCS) reports; add operational requirements for flares; and make other minor technical improvements. We estimate that these amendments will reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from this source category by 186 tons per year (tpy), which represents an approximate 8 percent reduction of HAP emissions from the source category.
