Finding of Failure To Attain the 1987 24-Hour PM10
Document Number: 2023-03198
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2023-02-15
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine that the West Pinal County, Arizona nonattainment area did not attain the 1987 24-hour national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or ``standards'') for particulate matter with a diameter of 10 micrometers or smaller (PM10) by its December 31, 2022 ``Serious'' area attainment date. This proposal is based on the EPA's calculation of the preliminary PM10 design value for the nonattainment area over the 2020-2022 period. If the EPA makes a final determination that West Pinal County has failed to attain the PM10 NAAQS by its attainment date, the State will be required to submit a revision to the Arizona state implementation plan (SIP) that, among other elements, provides for expeditious attainment of the PM10 standards and for a five percent annual reduction in the emissions of direct PM10 or a PM10 plan precursor pollutant in the nonattainment area.
Air Plan Limited Approval and Limited Disapproval; California; Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District
Document Number: 2023-03197
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2023-02-15
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of revisions to the Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District (EKAPCD or ``District'') portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) from Portland cement kilns. We are proposing a limited approval of a local rule to regulate these emissions sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA) because the rule would strengthen the current SIP-approved version of the EKAPCD's Portland cement kiln rule. We are proposing a limited disapproval of this revision due to the presence of exemptions for periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (breakdown), which are inconsistent with CAA requirements. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
Request for Public Nominations of Experts To Serve on a Review Panel

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking nominations for technical experts to serve as Special Government Employees (SGEs) on a review panel under the authority of the Board of Scientific Counselors (BOSC), a federal advisory committee to the Office of Research and Development (ORD). Selected experts will review ORD's draft documents detailing scientific studies supporting the development of transcriptomic-based toxicity values and their implementation as a new EPA Transcriptomic Assessment Product (ETAP). The ETAP is a proposed ORD assessment product that utilizes a standardized short-term in vivo study design and data analysis procedures to develop transcriptomic-based toxicity values for data poor chemicals. The review will take place between April and July 2023. Submission of nominations should be made via the BOSC website at: https://www.epa.gov/bosc.
