Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request: Technical Assistance Needs Assessments (TANAs) at Superfund Remedial or Removal Sites
The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an information collection request (ICR), ``Technical Assistance Needs Assessments'' (EPA ICR No. 2470.03, OMB Control No. 2050-0211) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described in Supplementary Information. This document is a proposed renewal of the ICR, which is currently approved through May 31, 2022. 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.
Notice of Request for Approval of Alternative Means of Emission Limitation
On April 21, 2020, Flint Hills Resources (FHR) requested an alternative means of emission limitation (AMEL) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) in order to utilize a leak detection sensor network (LDSN) with a detection response framework (DRF) at its West and East Refineries located in Corpus Christi, Texas. In this document, the EPA is soliciting comment on all aspects of the AMEL request and resulting alternative leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements that are necessary to achieve a reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) at least equivalent to the reduction in emissions required by the applicable LDAR standards. This document also presents and solicits comment on all aspects of a framework for future LDSN-DRF AMEL requests, which would afford the EPA the ability to evaluate those requests in a more efficient and streamlined manner.
Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request; Improving Customer Experience (OMB Circular A-11, Section 280 Implementation)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an information collection request (ICR), Improving Customer Experience (OMB Circular A-11, Section 280 Implementation) (EPA ICR Number 2687.01, OMB Control Number 2030-NEW) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below. This is request for approval of a new collection. 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.
Second 10-Year Maintenance Plan for the Indian Wells Valley PM10
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the ``Indian Wells Valley Second 10-Year PM10 Maintenance Plan'' (``Indian Wells Second Maintenance Plan'' or ``Plan'') as a revision to the state implementation plan (SIP) for the State of California. The Indian Wells Second Maintenance Plan includes, among other elements, a base year emissions inventory, a maintenance demonstration, contingency provisions, and motor vehicle emissions budgets for use in transportation conformity determinations. The EPA is proposing these actions because the SIP revision meets the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements for such plans and motor vehicle emissions budgets. Lastly, the EPA is beginning the adequacy process for the 2020 and 2025 motor vehicle emissions budgets in the Plan through this proposed rule.
Adequacy Status of Post-Attainment Year Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in 2006 PM2.5
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is notifying the public that the Agency has found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets (``budgets'') for the year 2020 in the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the 2006 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin ``Serious'' nonattainment area (``South Coast 2006 PM2.5 Serious Area Plan'') are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) submitted the South Coast 2006 PM2.5 Serious Area Plan to the EPA on April 27, 2017, as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). Upon the effective date of this notice of adequacy, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) must use the adequate budgets in future transportation conformity analyses.
Air Plan Approval; California; Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District, Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District, and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District; Combustion Sources; Correcting Amendment
On September 10, 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule in the Federal Register approving revisions to the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District, Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). In that rulemaking, the EPA inadvertently cited the incorrect local effective date in identifying one of the rules being approved into the SIP. This document corrects that error in the final rule's preamble and regulatory text.
