Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) and Its Metabolite Diacetylethylenediamine (DAED); Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation amends an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) and its metabolite diacetylethylenediamine (DAED) by expanding its use in or on all food commodities, when used as a fungicide and bactericide in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. The Lubrizol Corporation, 29400 Lakeland Blvd., Wickliffe, OH 44092, submitted a petition, pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR 180.1327. 40 CFR 180.1327 currently provides for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the pesticide, tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), and its metabolite diacetylethylenediamine (DAED), in or on rice and strawberries, when used as a fungicide and bactericide in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) or its metabolite diacetylethylenediamine (DAED) when used in accordance with this exemption.
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Plans; Pennsylvania; Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Determinations for Case-by-Case Sources Under the 1997 and/or 2008 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 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 eight major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and/or nitrogen oxides (NOX) pursuant to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's conditionally approved RACT regulations. In this rulemaking action, EPA is proposing to approve source-specific RACT determinations (case-by-case or alternative NOX emission limits) for sources at eight major NOX and VOC emitting facilities submitted by PADEP. These RACT evaluations were submitted to meet RACT requirements for the 1997 and/or 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Air Plan Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval; Pennsylvania; Attainment Plan for the Indiana, Pennsylvania Nonattainment Area for the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to revise its prior action that fully approved a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), to EPA on October 11, 2017, and supplemented on February 5, 2020. The SIP revision provided a plan for attainment of the 2010 sulfur dioxide (SO2) primary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) in the Indiana, Pennsylvania SO2 nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as the ``Indiana, PA NAA'' or ``Indiana Area''). The attainment plan submission included a base year emissions inventory, an analysis of the reasonably available control technology (RACT) and reasonably available control measure (RACM) requirements, enforceable emission limitations and control measures, a reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, a modeling demonstration of SO2 attainment, and contingency measures for the Indiana Area. EPA is proposing to revise its prior action to partially approve and partially disapprove the SIP. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Zinc Stearate; Tolerance Exemption
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of zinc stearate (CAS No. 557-05-1) when used as an inert ingredient (lubricant) in pesticide formulations at rates of no more than 6 percent by weight of the formulation in pre- and post-harvest applications to crops. Pyxis Regulatory Consulting, Inc., on behalf of UPL NA Inc., 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 zinc stearate (CAS No. 557-05-1) on food or feed commodities when used in accordance with this exemption.
