National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Site Remediation
This action finalizes amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the site remediation source category. This action finalizes amendments to remove exemptions from the rule for site remediation activities performed under authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as a remedial action or a non- time-critical removal action, and for site remediation activities performed under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective actions conducted at treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.
National Priorities List
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (``CERCLA'' or ``the Act''), as amended, requires that the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (``NCP'') include a list of national priorities among the known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants throughout the United States. The National Priorities List (``NPL'') constitutes this list. The NPL is intended primarily to guide the Environmental Protection Agency (``the EPA'' or ``the agency'') in determining which sites warrant further investigation. These further investigations will allow the EPA to assess the nature and extent of public health and environmental risks associated with the site and to determine what CERCLA-financed remedial action(s), if any, may be appropriate. This rule adds two sites to the General Superfund section of the NPL.
Air Plan Approval; California; San Diego County Air Pollution Control District; San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve revisions to the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDCAPCD) and San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from architectural coating operations. We are approving local rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
Simazine; Pesticide Tolerances
This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of simazine in or on citrus fruits (crop group 10-10), pome fruits (crop group 11-10), stone fruits (crop group 12-12), and tree nuts (crop group 14-12) and amends the tolerance for residues in or on almond hulls. Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
Air Plan Disapproval; West Virginia; Revision to the West Virginia State Implementation Plan To Add the SSM Rule 45CSR1-Alternative Emission Limitations During Startup, Shutdown, and Maintenance Operations
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to disapprove a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of West Virginia on June 13, 2017. The revision pertains to a new rule setting forth the requirements to establish, at the discretion of the Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), an alternative emission limitation (AEL) for a source that requests an AEL. This SIP revision was submitted in response to a finding of substantial inadequacy and SIP call published on June 12, 2015, for provisions in the West Virginia SIP related to excess emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) events. EPA is proposing to disapprove the SIP revision and proposing to determine that such SIP revision does not correct the deficiencies identified in the June 12, 2015, SIP Call.
Approval of the Clean Air Act, Section 112(l), Authority for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Air Emissions Standards for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning Machines; State of Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management
The EPA is proposing to grant the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RI DEM) the authority to implement and enforce the amended Rhode Island Code of Regulations, Control of Emissions from Organic Solvent Cleaning (Organic Solvent Cleaning Rule), and the General Definitions Regulation (General Definitions Rule) in place of the National Emission Standard for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning (Halogenated Solvent NESHAP) as a partial rule substitution as it applies to organic solvent cleaning machines in Rhode Island. Upon approval, RI DEM's amended Organic Solvent Cleaning Rule and General Definitions Rule would apply to all sources that otherwise would be regulated by the Halogenated Solvent NESHAP, except for continuous web cleaning machines, for which the Halogenated Solvent NESHAP would continue to apply. The EPA has reviewed RI DEM's request and has preliminarily determined that the State's amended Organic Solvent Cleaning Rule and General Definitions Rule satisfy the requirements necessary for approval. Thus, the EPA is proposing to approve the request. This approval would make RI DEM's amended Organic Solvent Cleaning Rule and General Definitions Rule federally enforceable. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Iron Oxide (Fe3
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of iron oxide (Fe3O4) (CAS Reg. No. 1317-61-9) when used as an inert ingredient (colorant) in pesticide formulations applied to animals. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service submitted a petition (IN-11661) to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of iron oxide (Fe3O4), when used in accordance with the terms of that exemption.
