MEMORANDUM TO: Docket FROM: EPA SUBJECT: Emissions in Minnesota: Additional Analysis DATE: March 9, 2004 Following the CAIR NODA, Xcel Energy made EPA aware of emission projections of SO 2 and NO x produced in support of the CAIR Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that did not exactly reflect projected emissions from Xcel units in Minnesota because of an agreement with the State to reduce emissions from various electricity generating units in the State ( the Metropolitan Emission Reduction Proposal, or MERP). EPA has tried to be as accurate as possible in its modeling underlying the CAIR rule. Part of this effort, as explained in detail in the preamble to the final rule, was to use the Integrated Planning Model ( IPM) for the final rule. As part of a routine model update to IPM to best reflect available data and information and in response to comments from various parties, EPA has updated the inventory of EGUs, made revisions to several model assumptions, and incorporated latest emissions estimates reflecting various State rules, regulations, and NSR settlements. Along with new economic and emissions modeling reflecting these updates, EPA has redone air quality modeling. These new results are intended to reflect what EPA projects to occur in the future with and without CAIR.

In evaluating emissions contributions from Minnesota, EPA, as part of the updated analysis, incorporated the MERP which requires various repowerings and retrofits of Xcel Energy units. EPA incorporated these updates based on available data. However, because of an Xcel Energy comment submitted for the Clean Air Interstate Rule, EPA has discovered that there appears to be some discrepancies in emissions between the MERP as agreed to by Xcel and Minnesota and how EPA accounted for the MERP in IPM. The estimated difference in emissions in 2010 is estimated to be lower by roughly 16,500 tons of NO x and 5,800 tons of SO 2 when fully accounted for, based upon a sensitivity analysis done with the IPM v2.1.9 base case that incorporated the MERP as outlined by Xcel Energy ( please see docket items ` Base Case 2004_ MN Sensitivity' and ` Base Case 2004_ MN Sensitivity_ Emissions,' which provides more detail regarding the analysis that EPA performed). Nevertheless, EPA has concluded that although differences appear to exist, they are not large enough to impact EPA's test for Minnesota's significant contribution to a downwind nonattainment area, and is therefore finalizing CAIR with Minnesota as part of the program. Specifically, EPA has incorporated the revised estimates described in the comment into our data base and reassessed Minnesota's contribution based on these estimates. Our conclusion is that Minnesota's contribution remains significant.

Incorporation of the revised emission estimates from several Xcel facilities in Minnesota is expected to result in somewhat lower 2010 Base Case NO x and SO 2 emissions estimates. Emissions of NO x are expected to be roughly 16,500 tons lower and emissions of SO 2 are expected to be 5,800 tons lower than EPA modeled, according to the aforementioned EPA analysis. These reductions translate into a 4.6 percent reduction in total statewide NO x and a 4.3 percent reduction in total statewide SO 2 emissions in Minnesota in 2010. In view of these reduced emissions estimates, EPA performed two analyses to estimate whether the lower emissions estimates would drop Minnesota's downwind estimated contribution below the PM2.5 significance threshold of 0.2 µ g/ m3. EPA's zero out modeling for Minnesota without the reductions reflecting the Xcel comment shows that Minnesota's maximum contribution is 0.21 µ g/ m3 to Cook County, Illinois ( See Appendix H of the CAIR Final Air Quality Modeling Technical Support Document). Our analyses of the effects of the emissions changes on the maximum contribution are as follows:

° Analysis 1: We reduced the maximum PM2.5 contribution by the larger of the percent reduction in NO x and SO 2 emissions ( i. e., the 4.6 percent reduction in NO x). The maximum PM2.5 contribution after making this adjustment is 0.2 µ g/ m3.

Calculation of Impact: Minnesota's maximum contribution based on CAIR modeling: 0.21 µ g/ m3 Reduction of contribution by 4.6 percent: [ 0.21  ( 0.21 x .046)] = 0.20 µ g/ m3 ° Analysis 2: We reduced the sulfate and nitrate portions of the maximum PM2.5 contribution by the corresponding reductions in SO 2 and NO x emissions. Specifically, the sulfate portion ( including sulfate, ammonium, and particle bound water) was reduced by the 4.3 percent reduction in SO 2 emissions and the nitrate portion was reduced by the 4.6 percent reduction in NO x emissions. We then recalculated the maximum contribution using these lower components. The result is that the adjusted maximum PM2.5 contribution is 0.2 µ g/ m3.

Calculation of Impact:

Modeled Contribution ( µ g/ m3) Adjustment Factor Adjusted Contribution ( µ g/ m3)

Sufate1 0.090  4.3 % 0.086 Nitrate 0.120  4.6 % 0.114 PM2.5 0.210 NA 0.200 1. Includes sulfate and associated particle bound water and ammonium.

Thus, our analyses indicate that Minnesota makes a significant contribution to PM2.5 nonattainment, even accepting and accounting for all of the emissions reductions set out in the Xcel comments.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the
period from February 2, 2015 to February 27, 2015, and consists of the
PMNs and TMEs both pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture
a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 5 of TSCA requires that EPA periodical publish in the
Federal Register receipt and status reports, which cover the following
EPA activities required by provisions of TSCA section 5.
    EPA classifies a chemical substance as either an ``existing''
chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any chemical substance that is not on
EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as a ``new chemical,'' while those
that are on the TSCA Inventory are classified as an ``existing
chemical.'' For more information about the TSCA Inventory go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm. Anyone who plans to
manufacture or import a new chemical substance for a non-exempt
commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a
PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA authorizes
EPA to allow persons, upon application, to manufacture (includes
import) or process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance
subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section
5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is referred to as a test
marketing exemption, or TME. For more information about the
requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic status
reports on the new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008, Notice 4; FRL-8579-2]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery
Site from the National Priorities List.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 announces
its intent to delete the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery Site (Site),
located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, from the National
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed
action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300
which is the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the State of Oklahoma, through the
Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) have determined
that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than
operation and maintenance and five-year reviews, have been completed.
However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under
Superfund.

DATES: Comments concerning the proposed deletion of this Site from the
NPL must be received by July 14, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-1989-0008, Notice 4, by one of the following methods:
     http://www.regulations.gov. Follow online instructions for
submitting comments.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-
1989-0008, Notice 4. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change and may be made available
online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information
that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the http://
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Deletion of the Fourth Street Abandoned Refinery Superfund Site without
prior notice of intent to delete because we view this as a
noncontroversial revision and anticipate no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the direct
final deletion. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on this Notice of
Intent to Delete or the direct final Notice of Deletion, we will not
take further action on this Notice of Intent to Delete. If we receive
adverse comment(s), we will withdraw the direct final Notice of
Deletion, and it will not take effect. We will, as appropriate, address
all public comments in a subsequent final deletion notice based on this
Notice of Intent to Delete. We will not institute a second comment
period on this Notice of Intent to Delete. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time.
    For additional information see the direct final Notice of Deletion

21 CFR Part 314

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0099]

New Drug Applications and Abbreviated New Drug Applications;
Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending its new
drug application (NDA) and abbreviated new drug application (ANDA)
regulations to update agency contacts for patent information and patent
notifications and to correct an inaccurate cross-reference. This action
is being taken to ensure accuracy and clarity in the agency's
regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective March 6, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Olivia A. Pritzlaff, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Bldg. 51, rm.
6308, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-796-
3506.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA is amending its NDA and ANDA regulations
in part 314 (21 CFR part 314) to update agency contacts for information
and notifications pertaining to patents and to correct an inaccurate
reference. To accommodate the ongoing relocation of FDA offices, users
are directed to FDA's Web site to obtain the current address of the
Office of Generic Drugs.
    In Sec. Sec.  314.52(a)(2) and 314.95(a)(2), FDA is updating the
agency contact for obtaining the name and address of the NDA holder or
designee for purposes of providing notice of a patent certification
submitted under section 505(b)(2)(A)(iv)

or 505(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(b)(2)(A)(iv) or 355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(IV)). The
Division of Drug Information Resources no longer exists. The agency
contact for this information is now the Orange Book Staff, Office of
Generic Drugs.
    In Sec.  314.53(f), FDA is updating the agency unit to which
notifications of requests for correction of patent information should
be directed. The Drug Information Services Branch no longer exists.
These notifications should now be sent to the Office of Generic Drugs
Document Room, attention the Orange Book Staff.
    In Sec.  314.107(e), FDA is updating the listing of agency units to
which a 505(b)(2) applicant must send notification of entry of an order
or judgment in a court action. Instead of the appropriate division in
the Office of Drug Evaluation I and Office of Drug Evaluation II, these
notifications should now be sent to the appropriate division in the
Office of New Drugs.
    In Sec.  314.107(f)(2)(iv), FDA is updating the agency recipient of
a 505(b)(2) applicant's required notification that a legal action has
been filed within 45 days of receipt of a notice of paragraph IV
certification (submitted under section 505(b)(2)(A)(iv) of the act)
from the appropriate division in the Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research to the appropriate division in the Office of New Drugs.
    In Sec.  314.125(b)(16), FDA is correcting a cross-reference to the
agency's regulations on institutional review boards (21 CFR part 56) by
replacing ``part 58'' with ``part 56.''
    Publication of this document constitutes final action under the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). FDA has determined that
notice and public comment are unnecessary because the amendments to the
regulations provide only technical changes to correct an inaccurate
citation and to update agency contacts, and are nonsubstantive.
