Certain New Chemicals or Significant New Uses; Statements of Findings for May, June, and July 2022
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to publish in the Federal Register a statement of its findings after its review of certain TSCA submissions when EPA makes a finding that a new chemical substance or significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to premanufacture notices (PMNs), microbial commercial activity notices (MCANs), and significant new use notices (SNUNs) submitted to EPA under TSCA. This document presents statements of findings made by EPA on such submissions during the period from May 1, 2022 to July 31, 2022.
Revision of Approved State Primacy Program for the State of Hawaii
Notice is hereby given that the State of Hawaii revised its approved State primacy program under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) by adopting regulations that effectuate the federal Phase II/V Chemical Contaminant Rules (Phase II/V) and the Arsenic Rule. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that Hawaii's revision request meets the applicable SDWA program revision requirements and the regulations adopted by Hawaii are no less stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA approves this revision to Hawaii's approved State primacy program. However, this determination on Hawaii's request for approval of a program revision shall take effect in accordance with the procedures described below in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice after the opportunity to request a public hearing.
Air Plan Revisions; California; South Coast Air Quality Management District
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of two revised rules and an approval of a rule recission to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from marine and pleasure craft coating operations and the coating of metals. The EPA previously proposed to fully approve these SIP revisions on the grounds that they satisfied the relevant requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). After the comment periods, the EPA identified a deficiency in the submittals that warrants a limited disapproval. Therefore, we are withdrawing our previously proposed approvals of these SIP revisions as they pertain to these rules, published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2021, and August 24, 2021, and now propose a limited approval and limited disapproval for these revisions into the California SIP.
Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, Eastern Kern County Air Pollution Control District and Imperial County Air Pollution Control District
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve revisions to the Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District (EKAPCD) and Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions were submitted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in response to EPA's June 12, 2015, finding of substantial inadequacy and SIP call for certain provisions in the SIP related to affirmative defenses applicable to excess emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) events. EPA is finalizing approval of the SIP revisions because the Agency has determined that they are in accordance with the requirements for SIP provisions under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) and correct deficiencies identified in the June 12, 2015 SIP call.
Air Plan Approval; OR; Oakridge PM2.5
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is redesignating the Oakridge, Oregon nonattainment area to attainment for the 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The EPA is also approving a maintenance plan for the area that demonstrates continued compliance with the PM2.5 NAAQS through the year 2035, which Oregon submitted along with the redesignation request for inclusion into the Oregon State Implementation Plan (SIP). Additionally, the EPA finds adequate and is approving the PM2.5 motor vehicle emission budgets for the area. Finally, the EPA is approving additional control measures, because incorporation of these measures will strengthen the Oregon SIP and ensure PM2.5 emissions reductions in the Oakridge area. The EPA is taking these actions pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
Air Plan Approval; OR; Oakridge PM10
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is redesignating the Oakridge, Oregon nonattainment area to attainment for the 1987 National Ambient Air Quality Standard for particulate matter of 10 microns or less (PM10 NAAQS). The EPA is also approving a maintenance plan for the area that demonstrates continued compliance with the PM10 NAAQS through the year 2035, which Oregon submitted, along with the redesignation request, for inclusion into the Oregon State Implementation Plan (SIP). Additionally, the EPA finds adequate and is approving the PM10 motor vehicle emission budgets for the area. The EPA is taking these actions pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
