Chlorpyrifos; Notice of Receipt of Request To Cancel Certain Pesticide Registrations and Amend Registrations To Terminate/Amend Certain Uses
In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of request by the registrants in Table 3 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel registrations of certain products containing the pesticide chlorpyrifos or to amend their chlorpyrifos registrations to terminate/delete one or more uses. EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the requests or if the registrants withdraw their request to cancel these uses or products. If these requests are granted, any sale, distribution, or use of the products listed in this notice after the registrations have been cancelled or the uses have been terminated would need to be consistent with the terms as described in the final cancellation order.
Air Plan Revisions; Arizona; Arizona Department of Environmental Quality; Stationary Source Permits
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing two revisions to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). In this action, we are finalizing the approval of revisions submitted by the ADEQ governing the issuance of permits for stationary sources in accordance with changes that EPA has made to its New Source Review (NSR) program regulations under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "the Act").

Lead Wheel Weights; Regulatory Investigation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is requesting comments and information to assist in the potential development of regulations for the manufacture (including importing), processing (including recycling), and distribution in commerce of lead for wheel-balancing weights ("lead wheel weights") under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). To inform this consideration, EPA is requesting comment and information from all stakeholders on the use and exposure to lead from the manufacture (including importing), processing (including recycling), distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of lead wheel weights, as well as information on their substitutes, to help determine if there is unreasonable risk to human health and the environment associated with this use. This action is relevant to a petition for a writ of mandamus filed in August 2023, by the Ecology Center, Center for Environmental Health, United Parents Against Lead & Other Environmental Hazards, and Sierra Club in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit requesting the court to direct EPA to conduct a rulemaking regulating lead wheel weights under TSCA.
