Approval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Vehicle Miles Traveled Emissions Offset Demonstrations for the 2015 Ozone Standards; California
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve revisions to the California state implementation plan (SIP) concerning vehicle miles traveled (VMT) offset demonstrations for the Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin (South Coast), Riverside County (Coachella Valley), Los Angeles-San Bernadino Counties (West Mojave Desert), and San Joaquin Valley nonattainment areas (NAAs) for the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (2015 ozone NAAQS). The EPA is taking action to approve these revisions because they demonstrate that California has added or implemented specific enforceable transportation control strategies and transportation control measures to offset the growth in emissions from growth in VMT and vehicle trips. We are taking final action to approve these revisions under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``the Act''), which establishes VMT offset demonstration requirements for ozone nonattainment areas classified as ``Severe'' or ``Extreme.''

Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA or Agency) Personnel Security Branch (PSB) is giving notice that it proposes to modify a system of records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. The Personnel Security System (PSS) 2.0 is being modified to include a new module, which the Agency will use to administer its Insider Threat Program. The new module will collect records about individuals to assist the Agency with insider threat inquiry management and coordination. The module will retain insider threat inquiry-related data and help EPA personnel coordinate responses to those inquiries. Collecting this data ensures the effective and timely processing of records.
Final Cancellation Order for Certain Chlorpyrifos Registrations and Uses
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hereby announces its final cancellation order for the cancellations and amendments to terminate uses voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of the products in Table 1 and Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This final cancellation order follows a May 3, 2023, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II, to voluntarily cancel or amend these product registrations. In the May 3, 2023, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue a final order implementing the cancellations and amendments, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency received two comments on the notice, which are summarized in Unit III.B. EPA's responses to these comments and its determination that these comments do not merit further review of these cancellation and amendment requests are included in Unit III.C. None of the registrants withdrew their request for these voluntary cancellations or amendments. Accordingly, EPA hereby grants the requested cancellations and amendments to terminate uses as shown in this cancellation order. Any distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of these products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order.
