Pesticides; Draft Guidance and Proposed Method for Antimicrobial Product Efficacy Claims Against Planktonic Legionella Pneumophila in Cooling Tower Water; Notice of Availability and Request for Comments
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of and soliciting public comment on a draft guidance document and proposed method for adding efficacy claims to antimicrobial products for use in cooling tower water to reduce the level of planktonic Legionella pneumophila. The draft guidance document describes efficacy testing for antimicrobial products to support claims for the reduction of planktonic L. pneumophila in water within cooling tower systems and how to prepare an application for registration. The proposed method is for evaluating the efficacy of antimicrobial products in water of cooling towers against planktonic L. pneumophila. The draft guidance does not address adherent or sessile bacteria that attach to a surface (e.g., biofilm) of the cooling tower system or any other microorganism other than L. pneumophila which may be found in the water of cooling tower systems.

Air Plan Approval; New Jersey; Redesignation of the Warren County 1971 Sulfur Dioxide Nonattainment Area to Attainment and Approval of the Area's Maintenance Plan
On November 15, 2021, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) submitted a request for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to approve the redesignation of the New Jersey portion of the Northeast Pennsylvania-Upper Delaware Valley Interstate Air Quality Control Region (Warren County, New Jersey) from nonattainment to attainment for the 1971 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). In conjunction with its redesignation request, NJDEP submitted a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision containing a limited maintenance plan and its associated contingency measures for the Warren County 1971 SO2 Nonattainment Area (Warren County SO2 NAA) to ensure that attainment of the SO2 NAAQS will continue to be maintained. The EPA is taking final action to approve the requested SIP revision and to redesignate the Warren County SO2 NAA from nonattainment to attainment for the 1971 SO2 NAAQS.
