Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York; Gasoline Dispensing, Stage I, Stage II and Transport Vehicles
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of New York for ozone concerning the control of volatile organic compounds. The SIP revision consists of amendments to regulations in New York's Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) applicable to gasoline dispensing sites and transport vehicles. This revision includes regulatory amendments that eliminate Stage II requirements and strengthen requirements for Stage I vapor recovery systems at gasoline dispensing facilities, and that require that transport vehicles meet current Federal United States Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. The intended effect of this action is to approve control strategies, required by the Clean Air Act, which will result in emission reductions that will help attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards for ozone and will reduce volatile organic compounds throughout the State. This action is being taken pursuant to the Clean Air Act. The EPA proposed to approve this rule on November 1, 2022, and received no comments.
Proposed Consent Decree, Clean Air Act Citizen Suit
In accordance with the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the Act), notice is given of a proposed consent decree in Environmental Integrity Project, et al. v. Regan, No. 1:22-cv-2243 (D.D.C). On July 29, 2022, Plaintiffs Environmental Integrity Project, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, and Sierra Club filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) failed to perform certain non-discretionary duties in accordance with the Act to timely review and, if necessary, revise, the methods (``emission factors'') used to estimate the quantity of emissions of carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and oxides of nitrogen for municipal solid waste landfills. EPA is providing notice of this proposed consent decree, which would resolve all claims in the case by establishing deadlines for EPA to review and, if necessary, revise these emission factors for municipal solid waste landfills.
