Findings of Failure To Submit State Implementation Plan Revisions for the 2016 Oil and Natural Gas Industry Control Techniques Guidelines for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and for States in the Ozone Transport Region
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to find that the states of New York and Pennsylvania failed to submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) in a timely manner to address reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements associated with the 2016 Oil and Natural Gas Industry Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for reducing volatile organic compounds (VOC). The RACT requirements associated with the CTG apply in certain nonattainment areas for the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and in states in the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). Both New York and Pennsylvania are in the OTR. This action triggers certain CAA deadlines for the EPA to impose sanctions if a state does not submit a complete SIP addressing the outstanding requirements and for the EPA to promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) if the EPA does not approve the state's SIP revision.
a-Terpineol (CAS No. 98-55-5); Tolerance Exemption
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of [alpha]-terpineol (CAS No. 98-55-5) when used as a solvent inert ingredient in pesticide formulations at rates of 5% of the formulation in pre-harvest applications to crops. Landis International, Inc., on behalf of Morse Enterprises Limited, Inc. d/b/a KeyPlex submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of [alpha]-terpineol (CAS No. 98-55-5) on food or feed commodities when used in accordance with this exemption.
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Mission Support, Office of Enterprise Information Programs is giving notice that it proposes to modify a system of records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. eDiscovery Enterprise Tool Suite, EPA-63 is being modified to update the system manager, add locations where the data may be stored, modify Routine Use L, and add Routine Use M. The purpose of the system is to assist with the preservation, search, processing, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI) in support of legal discovery or to respond to other formal information requests, such as FOIA requests and congressional inquiries. Unless noted in this modification, all exemptions and provisions included in the previously published system of record notice for eDiscovery Enterprise Tool Suite, EPA-63 will transfer to the modified system of record notice for eDiscovery Enterprise Tool Suite, EPA-63.
Modernizing Public Notice for RCRA Hazardous Waste Permitting and Other Actions
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing notice and inviting public comment on allowing modern electronic alternatives for public notification in implementing Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Specifically, this notice communicates the EPA's interpretation that the RCRA and EPA regulatory provisions that require newspaper notice for certain actions (e.g., permit issuance) can be satisfied by notice in qualifying online newspapers, as well as print newspapers. The EPA is also requesting comment regarding whether online mechanisms that might not typically be viewed as newspapers, such as bulletins or newsletters published online by state environmental agencies, could also satisfy these requirements. This notice further explains the EPA's view that the EPA in appropriate cases can authorize state regulations that provide for equivalent notice mechanisms other than newspaper publication for actions other than permit issuance (permit modifications for example). Finally, this notice requests comment on whether EPA should amend its regulations to allow for more flexibility in providing notice of permit actions and other RCRA actions.
