Environmental Protection Agency July 15, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is providing this notice of receipt of and soliciting comment on the requests identified in Unit II. received from the registrants to voluntarily cancel their registrations of certain products containing the pesticide chlorpyrifos, or to amend their chlorpyrifos registrations to terminate 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 registrant withdraws their request to cancel these uses or products. If these requests are granted, EPA will issue a final cancelation order under which any sale, distribution, or use of the products listed in this notice will be permitted after the registrations have been cancelled or the uses terminated only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms described in the final order.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Connecticut on December 14, 2015. This SIP revision includes Connecticut's revised regulations for new motor vehicle emission standards. Connecticut updated its motor vehicle emission regulations to adopt California's Advanced Clean Car (ACC) I program that includes California's low emission vehicle (LEV) III criteria pollutant standards and zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales requirements through the 2025 model year, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards that commence in the 2017 model year. Connecticut ensured that its regulations are identical to the California standards for which a waiver has been granted, as required by the Clean Air Act (CAA).

North Carolina has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for final authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA has reviewed North Carolina's application and has determined, subject to public comment, that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, in the "Rules and Regulations" section of this Federal Register, we are authorizing North Carolina for these changes as a final action without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule.
