The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing amendments to the new source performance standards for Industrial Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines pursuant to the review required by the Clean Air Act.

Air Plan Revisions; California; Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District; Oxides of Nitrogen
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of revisions to the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) from industrial, institutional, and commercial boilers, steam generators, and process heaters. We are proposing a limited approval of a local rule that regulates these emission sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) because the rule would strengthen the current SIP-approved version of MDAQMD's rule. We are proposing a limited disapproval of this revision because it is inconsistent with the EPA's startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) policy and Credible Evidence Rules. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Colorado; Revisions to Code of Colorado Regulations; Regulation Number 3
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the majority of revisions to Regulation Number 3 of the Code of Colorado Regulations (CCR) submitted to the EPA by the State of Colorado on March 22, 2021. The revisions that the EPA is finalizing approval on include updated references to other sections of the CCR that were moved to a new location, as well as changes to Regulation 3 to reflect digitalization of public notice and comment procedures. The EPA is not finalizing approval of revisions that reflect changes made by Colorado to update dates of incorporation by reference (IBR) of sections of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the reasons outlined in section I of the preamble of this final rule. The EPA is taking this action pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA).
