Reference Measurement Principle and Calibration Procedure for the Measurement of Ozone in the Atmosphere (Chemiluminescence Method)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to update the current ozone absorption cross-section to the recommended consensus-based cross-section value of 1.1329x10-\17\ cm\2\ molecule-\1\ or 304.39 atm-\1\ cm-\1\, with an uncertainty of 0.94 atm-\1\ cm-\1\. The new value is 1.2% lower than the current value of 308 atm-\1\ cm-\1\, and reduces the uncertainty in the value to 0.31%. The adoption of this updated ozone absorption cross-section could result in increases in measured ozone concentrations but given the existing sources of potential variability in monitoring data, it is unlikely that there would be any consistent measurable and predictable effect on reported data. The EPA is also proposing to update the dates of publication for two references, add a new reference for the updated cross-section value, and move the figures inadvertently placed in Section 6.0 References to a new Section 7.0 Figures.
State Implementation Plans: Findings of Substantial Inadequacy and SIP Calls To Amend Provisions Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction
Consistent with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) policy interpretation for State Implementation Plan (SIP) provisions applying to excess emissions during periods of Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction (SSM) as outlined in EPA's 2015 SSM SIP Action, the EPA is proposing to reinstate its findings of substantial inadequacy and associated ``SIP calls'' that were withdrawn in 2020 for the states of Texas, North Carolina, and Iowa for SSM provisions in those states' SIPs that do not comply with statutory requirements and EPA's SSM Policy. The EPA is also proposing to issue new findings of substantial inadequacy and SIP calls to the state of Connecticut (CT); the state of Maine (ME); Shelby County, Tennessee (TN); the state of North Carolina (NC); Buncombe County, NC; Mecklenburg County, NC; the state of Wisconsin (WI); and the state of Louisiana (LA), for additional SSM provisions identified as deficient by the Agency.
