Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Threatened Species Status With Section 4(d) Rule for Bethany Beach Firefly
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Bethany Beach firefly (Photuris bethaniensis), a firefly species from Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). This determination also serves as our 12-month finding on a petition to list the Bethany Beach firefly. After a review of the best available scientific and commercial information, we find that listing the species is warranted. We also propose protective regulations issued under section 4(d) of the Act to provide for the conservation of the Bethany Beach firefly. If we finalize this rule as proposed, it would add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and extend the Act's protections to the species.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its adjudication regulations to implement provisions of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 (PACT Act or Act).

To implement additional provisions of the Act, VA is also proposing to codify the procedure for determining when medical examinations and nexus opinions are required for claims that cannot be considered on a presumptive basis and the evidence establishes participation in a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA).

Finding of Failure To Attain the Primary 2010 1-Hour Sulfur Dioxide Standard for the San Juan and Guayama-Salinas Nonattainment Areas; Approval and Conditional Approval of Air Quality State Implementation Plans; Puerto Rico; Attainment Plan for the 2010 1-Hour Sulfur Dioxide Standard for the San Juan and Guayama-Salinas Nonattainment Areas
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing two actions related to attainment of the 2010 primary 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or "standard"). First, the EPA is proposing to determine that the San Juan and Guayama-Salinas SO2 Nonattainment Areas (NAAs) failed to attain the 2010 primary 1-hour SO2 NAAQS by the applicable attainment date of April 9, 2023, based upon a technical analysis of various evidence available (i.e., weight-of-evidence analysis). If the EPA finalizes this determination as proposed, within one year, Puerto Rico will be required to submit revisions to the Puerto Rico State Implementation Plan (SIP) that, among other elements, provide for expeditious attainment of the 2010 SO2 standard no later than five years from the publication date of the final rule. Second, the EPA is proposing to approve certain elements of Puerto Rico's November 22, 2022, SIP revision (hereinafter referred to as the "plan"), which was submitted to demonstrate attainment of the 2010 primary 1-hour SO2 standard in the San Juan and Guayama-Salinas NAAs. Elements being proposed for approval include Puerto Rico's nonattainment new source review (NNSR) program and the base year emissions inventory. Finally, the EPA is proposing to approve in part, and conditionally approve in part, for SIP-strengthening purposes, other remaining elements of the plan, including amendments to Puerto Rico's Regulation for the Control of Atmospheric Pollution (or RCAP), which include control measures, emissions limitations, and reporting requirements for sources in the NAAs.
