Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in Submitted 8-Hour Ozone Attainment Plan for San Diego; California
Document Number: 2021-21557
Type: Notice
Date: 2021-10-04
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or ``Agency'') is notifying the public that the Agency has found motor vehicle emissions budgets (``budgets'') adequate in a California state implementation plan (SIP) submittal for San Diego County. Specifically, our finding relates to budgets in the area's ``2020 Plan for Attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone in San Diego County (October 2020)'' (``2020 San Diego Ozone Plan'' or ``plan''). We find that these budgets are adequate for transportation conformity purposes for the 2008 and 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Upon the effective date of this notice of adequacy, prior budgets for the 2008 ozone NAAQS previously found adequate by the EPA will no longer be applicable for transportation conformity purposes, and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the U.S. Department of Transportation must use these adequate budgets in future transportation conformity determinations.
Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request; NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 CFR Part 61, Subparts B, K, R and W) and NESHAP for Radon Emissions From Operating Mill Tailings (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart W) (Renewal)
Document Number: 2021-21533
Type: Notice
Date: 2021-10-04
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 CFR part 61, subparts B, K, R and W) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1100.16, OMB Control No. 2060-0191) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below. In addition to being a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through May 31, 2022, the Agency seeks to consolidate this ICR with EPA ICR Number 2464.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0706, which was established to address the information collection requirements created by the revision to NESHAP subpart W in 2017. All information collection required under 40 CFR part 61, subpart W would then be included in a single ICR, together with the information collection requirements of subparts B, K, and R. An Agency may not conduct, or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
