Pesticides; Flexible Packaging; Child Resistant Packaging Requirements; Notice of Clarification
In the Federal Register of February 8, 2024, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) announced it had determined that pesticide products marketed in flexible packaging (e.g., pouches) 20 fluid ounces or less in size with labeling either directly recommending residential use or reasonably interpreted to permit residential use are subject to the Child Resistant Packaging (CRP) mitigation measures, regardless of acute toxicity requirements, based on the visual similarity of the packaging design to children's food products. With this document, the Agency is clarifying that the flexible packaging intended to be addressed by the determination is the packaging known as flexible spouted pouches, also known as a spouted pouch, spouted pouch and cap, or fitment pouch. The determination does not apply to non- spouted flexible packaging such as the flexible packaging of household cleaning wipes and pet spot on pipettes or applicators.
Air Plan Approval; District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia; Determination of Attainment by the Attainment Date and Clean Data Determination for the Washington, DC-MD-VA Nonattainment Area for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine that the Washington, DC-MD-VA nonattainment area (the Washington Area or the Area) has attained the 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (2015 ozone NAAQS) by the applicable attainment date of August 3, 2024. Accompanying this proposed determination of attainment by the attainment date is a re- proposed clean data determination (CDD) under the EPA's Clean Data Policy. If finalized, this action will address the EPA's obligation under Clean Air Act (CAA) sections 179(c) and 181(b)(2) to determine whether the Washington Area attained the 2015 ozone NAAQS by the August 3, 2024 attainment date and, as set forth in the EPA's Clean Data Policy, suspend the obligation of the District of Columbia (DC), the State of Maryland (MD), and the Commonwealth of Virginia (VA) to submit certain attainment planning requirements for as long as the Area continues to attain the 2015 ozone NAAQS. As part of this rulemaking, the EPA also proposes to take final agency action on an exceptional events request submitted by the District of Columbia on March 20, 2024, and concurred on by the EPA on July 17, 2024. The proposed attainment determination and CDD are based upon the EPA's concurrence on the exceptional events demonstration. This action is being taken under the CAA.
Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; New Haven and Fairfield Counties Second 10-Year Limited Maintenance Plan for the 2006 24-Hour PM2.5 Standard
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Connecticut. On May 9, 2023, and supplemented on February 21, 2024, the State submitted a Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for New Haven and Fairfield Counties (New Haven-Fairfield). This revision provides for the maintenance of the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS through the end of the second 10-year portion of the maintenance period. Additionally, EPA finds the LMP to be adequate since it meets the appropriate transportation conformity requirements. The intended effect of this action is to approve Connecticut's LMP for the 2006 24- hour PM2.5 NAAQS for the New Haven- Fairfield maintenance area into the Connecticut SIP. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
