Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Pennsylvania; Reasonably Available Control Technology Determinations for Case-by-Case Sources Under the 1997 and 2008 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
Document Number: 2021-27233
Type: Rule
Date: 2022-01-26
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving multiple state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These revisions were submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) to establish and require reasonably available control technology (RACT) for 23 major volatile organic compound (VOC) and/or nitrogen oxide (NOX) emitting facilities pursuant to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's conditionally approved RACT regulations. In this rule action, EPA is approving source-specific (also referred to as case-by- case or CbC) RACT determinations or alternative NOX emissions limits for sources at 23 major NOX and VOC emitting facilities within the Commonwealth submitted by PADEP. These RACT evaluations were submitted to meet RACT requirements for the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). EPA is approving these revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's implementing regulations.

EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of August 30, 2021, establishing tolerances for residues of thiabendazole in or on multiple commodities requested by the Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). That document inadvertently instructed the Federal Register to remove four tolerances that should have been revised and to delete two footnotes concerning other tolerances. This document corrects the final regulation. As a housekeeping measure, it also removes two tolerances that expired in 2017.
