Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Comment Request; Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards (New)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program: Applications for Subawards (EPA ICR Number 7780.01, OMB Control Number 2035-NEW) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a request for emergency clearance of a new collection. A two-week public comment period has been initiated via a notice in the Federal Register.
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; New Jersey; Elements of the 2008 and 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the demonstration portions of the comprehensive State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by New Jersey that certify that the State has satisfied the requirements for an emission statement program, certify that the State has satisfied the requirements for an ozone nonattainment new source review program, certify that the State has satisfied the requirements for a nonattainment emission inventory, and certify that the State has satisfied the requirements for clean fuels for fleets. The EPA is also proposing to approve New Jersey's reasonable further progress plans and associated motor vehicle emission budgets for both the Moderate and Serious classifications of the 2008 ozone NAAQS. These actions are being taken in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
Air Plan Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval; North Dakota; Regional Haze State Implementation Plan for the Second Implementation Period
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove the regional haze state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of North Dakota on August 11, 2022 (North Dakota's 2022 SIP submission), as satisfying applicable requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) for the program's second implementation period. North Dakota's 2022 SIP submission addresses the requirement that states revise their long-term strategies every implementation period to make reasonable progress towards the national goal of preventing any future, and remedying any existing, anthropogenic impairment of visibility, including regional haze, in mandatory Class I Federal areas. North Dakota's 2022 SIP submission also addresses other applicable requirements for the second implementation period of the regional haze program. The EPA is taking this action pursuant to the CAA.
Air Plan Approval; Pennsylvania; Interim Final Determination To Stay and Defer Sanctions Related to Reasonably Available Control Technology Requirements for Keystone, Conemaugh, Homer City and Montour Generating Facilities for the 1997 and 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making an interim final determination (IFD) that Pennsylvania has submitted revisions to the SIP that satisfy the requirements under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to implement RACT for these EGUs for the 1997 and 2008 ozone NAAQS. The effect of this IFD is to stay emission offset sanctions and defer the imposition of highway funding sanctions triggered by an August 2022 EPA partial disapproval of a prior Pennsylvania SIP addressing RACT for these EGUs. Proposed elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, EPA is proposing approval of a revision to Pennsylvania's State implementation plan (SIP), as submitted April 10, 2024, to address reasonably available control technology (RACT) nitrogen oxides (NOX) emission limits and requirements for the coal-fired electric generating units (EGUs) equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) at the Keystone, Conemaugh, Homer City, and Montour facilities for the 1997 and 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
Air Plan Approval; Pennsylvania; Adoption of Federal Implementation Plan Reasonably Available Control Technology Requirements for Keystone, Conemaugh, Homer City and Montour Generating Facilities for the 1997 and 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve part of State implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The revisions being proposed for approval adopt nitrogen oxides (NOX) emission limits and requirements for the coal-fired electric generating units (EGUs) equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) at the Keystone, Conemaugh, Homer City, and Montour facilities. The NOX limits address reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for these EGUs for the 1997 and 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and are intended to address the deficiencies identified in EPA's August 16, 2022 disapproval of an earlier SIP submission. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Metamitron; Pesticide Tolerance for Emergency Exemptions
This regulation establishes a time-limited tolerance for residues of metamitron in or on the raw agricultural commodity (RAC) beet, sugar, roots. This action is in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of the pesticide on the crop, sugar beets. This regulation establishes a maximum permissible level for residues of metamitron in or on the RAC beet, sugar, roots. The time-limited tolerance expires on December 31, 2027.
Request for Nominations for the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) Ozone Panel
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office requests public nominations of scientific experts for the CASAC Ozone Panel. This panel will provide advice through the chartered CASAC on the scientific and technical bases for the agency's review of the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
