Peptide Derived From Harpin Protein; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Peptide Derived from Harpin Protein (PDHP) 25279 in or on all food commodities when used in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. Plant Health Care 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 PDHP 25279 under FFDCA when used in accordance with this exemption.
Air Quality: Revision to the Regulatory Definition of Volatile Organic Compounds-Exclusion of (2E)-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene (HFO-1336mzz(E))
On April 28, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposed rule seeking comments in response to a petition requesting the revision of the EPA's regulatory definition of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to exempt trans-1,1,1,4,4,4- hexafluorobut-2-ene (also known as HFO-1336mzz(E); CAS number 66711-86- 2). The EPA is now taking final action to revise the regulatory definition of VOC under the Clean Air Act (CAA). This final action adds HFO-1336mzz(E) to the list of compounds excluded from the regulatory definition of VOC on the basis that this compound makes a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone (O3) formation.

Determination of Attainment by the Attainment Date for the 2012 Annual Fine Particulate Matter Standard; Pennsylvania; Allegheny County Nonattainment Area
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine that the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania nonattainment area (NAA) has attained the 2012 annual fine particulate matter (PM2.5 or fine particulate matter) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) by the December 31, 2021 attainment date applicable to Moderate NAAs. This determination is based upon quality- assured, quality-controlled, and certified ambient air monitoring data for the 2019-2021 period available in EPA's Air Quality Monitoring (AMS) database. The determination is based upon the three-year average of annual mean PM2.5 concentrations for each eligible monitoring site being less than or equal to the level of the annual NAAQS of 12 micrograms per cubic meter ([micro]g/m\3\). This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
