Abstract: EPA promulgated MACT to control emissions of HAP from the secondary aluminum production industry on March 23, 2000. After publication, two groups representing four industry trade groups filed a petition for review of the rule. EPA reached an initial settlement agreement with industry to develop a separate rule for aluminum die casters, aluminum foundries, and aluminum extruders and publish a proposed stay of the rule with respect to these sources. Later the EPA reached a separate settlement agreement with groups representing aluminum die casters, aluminum foundries, and aluminum extruders that resulted in these groups remaining subject to the rule with certain technical changes to the rule itself. A final rule to implement certain compliance date changes contained in the settlement agreements was published on September 24, 2002. A final rule to implement changes to applicability and testing and compliance requirements was published on December 30, 2002. One more final rule is under development to promulgate the remaining changes.

NESHAP: ETHYLENE PROCESSES; AMENDMENTS Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 subparts XX and YY Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The Ethylene Production NESHAP was promulgated on Friday, July 12, 2002 ( 67 FR 46258) without petition for judicial review. However, we did receive a letter from the affected industry association requesting that we consider certain technical corrections. Following review of this request, we believe some changes to the final rule are necessary for clarity and consistency. This correction requires an action in the form of a direct final rule which will contain rule changes, technical amendments and clarifications.

NESHAP: RUBBER TIRE MANUFACTURING: TECHNICAL CORRECTION Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: On July 9, 2002, EPA promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( NESHAP) for the Rubber Tire Manufacturing industry. The rule included standards for four specific source subcategories ( i. e., tire production, tire cord production, puncture sealant, and rubber processing). The Rubber Manufacturing Association ( RMA) subsequently petitioned us concerning the definition of cements and solvents, and requested a small change to the definition of a term used in an equation for determining compliance with the tire production subcategory. The EPA had also identified these as necessary technical corrections. The amendments to the rule change the definition of `` cements and solvents'' to conform to the language identified by both the RMA and us prior to the publication of the rule on July 9, 2002. The revised definition does not change the intent of the original standards, but it is clearer and consistent with the intended meaning of affected cements and solvents used in tire manufacturing. The amendments are expected to have little or no impact on the plants now covered by the rubber tire manufacturing rule. No adverse economic impacts are expected. The total nationwide capital and annual costs associated with the amendments are negligible. No price impacts are projected. No significant impacts on a substantial number of small entities are expected. Timetable:

AMENDMENT TO PROJECT XL SITE SPECIFIC RULEMAKING FOR GEORGIA PACIFIC CORPORATION FACILITY IN BIG ISLAND, VIRGINIA Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63.863( c)( 1) Revision; 40 CFR 63.867( a)( 2) Revision Legal Deadline: None Abstract: Under the Project XL program, the EPA is supporting a project for the Georgia Pacific Corporation facility in Big Island, Virginia. On March 26, 2001, the EPA promulgated a site specific rule to help implement the project. Under the XL project, Georgia Pacific will install and attempt to operate the first commercial scale black liquor gasification system in the United States. This system promises to provide superior air emissions reductions and energy efficiency benefits compared to use of conventional recovery technology for black liquor in the pulp and paper industry. However, since this will be the first commercial scale demonstration of the new technology, there is some risk that the technology will take longer than planned to work properly or may not ever work VerDate May< 05> 2003 14: 34 May 16, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 1254 Sfmt 1254 D:\ UNIFIED\ PRESSD~ 1\ UA030424.

Under these scenarios, Georgia Pacific requires relief from otherwise applicable air emission standards to allow time for the technology to achieve expected performance or, in the event of failure, time for Georgia Pacific to build conventional recovery technology that will meet applicable standards. Without this relief, Georgia Pacific would not be undertaking commercialization of this promising technology. The promulgated site specific rule provided relief in the form of a limited extension ( from March 2004 to March 2007 at the latest) of the compliance date for the applicable air emission standard ( Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfate, and Stand Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills). Since that promulgation, the company has begun construction of the gasification system. Unfortunately, the company has experienced construction delays for several reasons. The delays have affected the scheduled start up date of the new system by approximately one year. This action would amend the site specific rule by extending the date of compliance for one additional year ( from March 2007 to March 2008).

RULEMAKING ON SECTION 126 PETITIONS FROM NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT REGARDING SOURCES IN MICHIGAN; REVISION OF DEFINITION OF APPLICABLE REQUIREMENT FOR TITLE V OPERATING PERMIT PROGRAMS Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7426 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 52; 40 CFR 75; 40 CFR 97 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The EPA is proposing to revise the section 126 Rule in light of the March 3, 2000, court decision on the NOx SIP Call. The court vacated, and remanded to EPA for further consideration, the inclusion of Georgia and Missouri in the NOx SIP Call in light of the Ozone Transport Assessment Group conclusions that emissions from coarse grid portions of States did not merit controls. The reasoning of the Court regarding the significance of NOx emissions from sources in Georgia and Missouri calls into question the inclusion of the coarse grid portion of Michigan in the NOx SIP Call. In a separate proposal, EPA is proposing to withdraw the NOx SIP Call requirements for the Michigan coarse grid area. The section 126 Rule is based on many of the same analyses and information used for the NOx SIP call and covers part of Michigan. Thus, EPA is proposing to withdraw its section 126 findings and control requirements with respect to sources located in the small part of the coarse grid portion of Michigan that is currently covered by the section 126 Rule. The EPA has not identified any existing section 126 sources that would be affected by the proposal, however this proposal would eliminate findings and control requirements for new sources locating in the coarse grid. This proposal does not create any new requirements, thus there are no associated costs. The EPA is also proposing to revise the definition `` applicable requirement'' for title V operating permit programs by providing expressly that any standard or other requirement under section 126 is an applicable requirement and must be included in operating permits issued under title V of the CAA.

FEDERAL PLAN REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SOLID WASTE INCINERATION UNITS CONSTRUCTED ON OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 30, 1999 Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7429 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 62 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 directed the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) to set emission guidelines for existing incinerators combusting commercial or industrial waste under sections 111 and 129. Final emission guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration ( CISWI) were published on December 1, 2000 ( see 65 FR 75338). In accordance with section 129, any State with affected sources must submit a State plan by December 1, 2001, describing how the State will implement the emission guidelines for existing CISWI. Section 129 requires the Administrator to develop and implement a Federal plan for existing CISWI units located in any State which has not submitted an approvable plan within 2 years of promulgation of the emissions guidelines.

Therefore, consistent with section 129( b)( 3) of the Act, EPA is proposing a plan that applies to CISWI in any State that has not submitted an approvable plan within the time allotted. This action makes no changes to the requirements in the rule, and is intended to fulfill EPA's duty under section 129( b)( 3) to promulgate a Federal plan as a gap filling measure until the State fulfills its statutory obligations. When the State submits an approvable State Plan, the Federal plan will no longer apply to units in that State.

One portion of the regional haze rule was an optional visibility protection program for nine Western States. Part of this program for the West, a longterm program to reduce stationary source emissions of sulfur dioxide, was incomplete at the time of the 1999 rule. Accordingly, the rule required Western States to submit an `` Annex'' to an earlier report of the Grand Canyon Visibility Transport Commission. We required the Annex to contain sulfur dioxide milestones for the years 2003 to 2018, to establish a program to track emissions from stationary sources over this time period, and to provide the details of a market trading program that would be triggered if a milestone is exceeded. The Western Regional Air Partnership submitted the Annex on September 29, 2000. The purpose of this rulemaking is to determine whether the Annex meets the requirements of the regional haze rule and the Clean Air Act, and if it does, to amend the regional haze rule to incorporate its provisions.

MODIFICATION OF THE ANTIDUMPING BASELINE DATE CUT OFF LIMIT FOR DATA USED IN DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL BASELINE Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7414; 42 USC 7521( 1); 42 USC 7545; 42 USC 7601( a)

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 80.91( b)( 1)( i); 40 CFR 80.93( a)

Legal Deadline: None Abstract: `` Dumping'' refers to the practice whereby refiners making clean fuels for certain markets ( such as reformulated gasoline for clean air purposes) take the pollutants removed from the clean fuels and `` dump'' them into other fuels they are producing for other markets. This, if allowed, would make those other fuels even dirtier than before, and so the Clean Air Act prohibits this practice. EPA has existing `` anti dumping'' rules on the books that codify this Clean Air Act prohibition. This regulation is a minor technical amendment to those existing regulations. It would amend a portion of those regulations to allow the use of data collected after January 1, 1995, in the development of baselines, and it would establish a cut off date of January 1, 2002, for the submission of all individual baselines under the antidumping program. This date is the same as that allowed for foreign refineries seeking a unique individual baseline under the anti dumping program.

CONTROL OF EMISSIONS FROM SPARK IGNITION MARINE VESSELS AND HIGHWAY MOTORCYCLES Priority: Economically Significant. Major under 5 USC 801.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 to 7671( q)

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 94 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: EPA is proposing to take actions to reduce emissions from two categories of engines. The first category, highway motorcycles, have existing emission standards that were put in place over twenty years ago. Emissions control technologies have advanced significantly since that time, and EPA believes it is appropriate to put in place more stringent standards for HC and NOx that reflects this progress. The proposed standards are consistent with standards California has recently promulgated, thereby creating the opportunity to industry to produce and market products nationwide. The second category of emissions sources addressed in this proposal is gasolinepowered marine vessels. Specifically, EPA is proposing to control evaporative emissions from these sources through the application of fuel tank and hose controls that can significantly reduce HC emissions from these sources. This proposal is the first set of emissions standards for this category.

REVISIONS TO CLARIFY THE SCOPE OF THE SUFFICIENCY MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL AND STATE OPERATING PERMITS PROGRAMS Priority: Economically Significant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7401 et seq CFR Citation: 40 CFR 70.6( c)( 1); 40 CFR 71.6( c)( 1) Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The purpose of this rulemaking is to clarify that under 40 CFR 70.6( c)( 1) and 71.6( c)( 1), all title V permits must contain monitoring sufficient to assure compliance with the permits' terms and conditions, as required under sections 504( a), 504 ( b), 504( c) and 114( a)( 3) of the Clean Air Act, where section 70.6( a)( 3)( i)( B) or section 71.6( a)( 3) is not applicable. Specifically, the interim final rulemakings and parallel notice andcomment rulemaking are limited to the suspension and removal of the prefatory phrase ``[ c] onsistent with paragraph ( a)( 3) of this section'' from the sufficiency monitoring requirement in section 70.6( c)( 1) and section 71.6( c)( 1). We are undertaking these rulemakings, in part, to respond to, pending litigation, Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA No. 01 1204 ( D. C. Cir.). In this litigation, the Utility Air Regulatory Group ( UARG) has asserted, in part, that EPA's interpretation of section 70.6( c)( 1) and section 71.6( c)( 1) as stated in the Pacificorp and Fort James orders is overbroad because the prefatory language in these sufficiency monitoring regulations ( i. e., `` consistent with paragraph ( a)( 3)'') limits their scope to that of the periodic monitoring provisions at section 70.6( a)( 3) and section 71.6( a)( 3). While EPA disagrees with UARG's assertions, EPA believes that further clarification through rulemaking would be useful. The EPA anticipates issuing a second interim final rule, prior to promulgation of the final rule, to suspend the prefatory phrase for an additional 90 day period. These rulemakings do not address any other issues related to title V monitoring, such as the type of monitoring required under the periodic or sufficiency monitoring provisions.

WASTE ISOLATION PILOT PLANT ( WIPP) FY 2001 REPORT TO CONGRESS Priority: Info./ Admin./ Other Legal Authority: PL 102 579, sec 23( a)( 2) CFR Citation: 40 CFR 194 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This Report to Congress is required by section 23( a)( 2) of the WIPP Land Withdrawal Act, which requires EPA to submit an annual report to Congress `` on the status of and resources required for the fulfillment of the Administrator's responsibilities under the Act'' regarding the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant ( WIPP). This report summarizes the activities and progress EPA has made in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Act and outlines the resources required for the Agency to meet its commitments. The WIPP is an underground repository for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste generated as byproducts from nuclear weapons production. It was constructed by the Department of Energy ( DOE) and is located near Carlsbad, New Mexico. In 1998, EPA certified that the WIPP complies with EPA's radioactive waste disposal standards at subpart B and C of 40 CFR 191 and EPA's WIPP compliance criteria at 40 CFR 194, and thus is safe to contain radioactive waste. Since that time, the DOE has begun emplacing waste in the WIPP. The waste is stored approximately 2,100 feet underground in excavated, natural salt formations. EPA also has responsibility for assuring continual compliance with EPA's radioactive waste disposal standards. EPA continues to have an oversight role at the WIPP to ensure that it continues to protect human health and the environment. This Report summarizes EPA's activities past and present. Timetable:

EXTENSION OF ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE PERIODS UNDER THE ANTI DUMPING PROGRAM Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: CAA sec 114; CAA sec 211; CAA sec 301( a) CFR Citation: Not Yet Determined Legal Deadline: None Abstract: `` Dumping'' refers to the practice whereby refiners making clean fuels for certain markets ( such as reformulated gasoline for clean air purposes) take the pollutants removed from the clean fuels and `` dump'' them into other fuels they are producing for other markets. This, if allowed, would make those other fuels even dirtier than before, and so the Clean Air Act prohibits this practice. EPA has existing `` anti dumping'' rules on the books that codify this Clean Air Act prohibition. This direct final rule will amend the existing anti dumping regulations by setting forth procedures for allowing an alternative compliance period of not more than seven years for a small, start up refiner.

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 80 Legal Deadline: Other, Statutory, May 30, 2001, Settlement Agreement with American Chemistry Council in 8/ 2000 requires publication of NPRM `` as expeditiously as practicable.

Abstract: A Direct Final Rule ( DFRM) and parallel NPRM was published on November 5, 2001, in response to a settlement agreement reached with the American Chemical Council ( ACC) regarding their litigation on the Gasoline Deposit Control Additive Rule. This litigation pertained to the information that manufacturers must provide on additive composition at the time of certification. Adverse comments were received on two of the four amendments. A partial withdrawal notice was published on January 24, 2002 which withdrew the amendments on which we received adverse comments. In this action, we plan to finalize the provisions that were withdrawn. The provisions we plan to finalize are based on an ACC consensus position, which reduces the burden on manufacturers in demonstrating compliance with limits on the compositional variability of the deposit control additives, while maintaining the emissions control benefits of the gasoline deposit control program.

RECLASSIFICATION AS NONROAD ENGINES FOR DIESEL ENGINES USED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURAL PUMP APPLICATION Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7547 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 89 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: EPA has been working closely with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the agricultural community, and other stakeholders to constructively address air quality issues associated with agricultural sources. One such issue involves emissions from diesel engines located in California that are used in the irrigation of crops. There is an interest in determining a method to facilitate the introduction of cleaner engines in this area and additionally resolve an issue associated with the application of Title V to such engines. EPA has decided to amend the definition of `` nonroad engines'' in 40 CFR part 89 to define diesel engines used to irrigate croplands in California as `` nonroad engines'' under EPA regulations, which is currently not the case. This notice will regulate all pump engines under title II nonroad rules if the farm chooses to replace its current engines with a new certified nonroad engine. Pump engines which are not replaced with new certified nonroad engines will not be covered by title II nonroad rules. There are environmental benefits to taking this action because generally the current engines are not required to meet any emissions requirements while nonroad engines are subject to existing standards and certification requirements. The voluntary nature of this rule, is that the farm is not required to replace any of its pump engines; they volunteer to replace their pumps engines with new, certified nonroad engines. This voluntary action will be done as a limited amendment of section 89.2 ( similar to a project XL approach). Timetable:

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS: RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT, SECTION 112( R)( 7); AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC; TECHNICAL AMENDMENT Priority: Info./ Admin./ Other Legal Authority: CAA 112( r)

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 68.210 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: Section 112( r)( 7) of the Clean Air Act ( CAA) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 68 require certain stationary sources to report an Off site Consequence Analysis ( OCA), including a worst case release scenario, in a Risk Management Plan ( RMP) that is to be made available to the public. In response to concerns that posting OCA information on the Internet might increase the risk of terrorist and other criminal activities, on August 5, 1999, the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act ( CSISSFRRA) was enacted. The Act requires the President to promulgate regulations governing the distribution of the OCA sections of RMPs that, in the opinion of the President, would minimize the likelihood of accidental releases and the risk of terrorist and other criminal activities associated with posting this information. The President delegated his rulemaking authority to the Attorney General and the Administrator of EPA, who jointly promulgated the required regulations at 40 CFR part 1400. The part 1400 regulations restrict the public's access to the OCA sections of RMPs in certain ways. As currently drafted, however, section 68.210( a) of part 68 states that RMPs are available to the public under CAA section 114, which makes information collected under the CAA, including RMPs in their entirety, available to the public, except for confidential business information. EPA is therefore revising 40 CFR section 68.210( a) to reflect the August 2000 rulemaking. The revision will state that OCA data is made available to the public under the provisions of 40 CFR part 1400. This revision is not meant to regulate any new entities.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION REQUIREMENTS: RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS UNDER THE CLEAN AIR ACT, SECTION 112( R)( 3); REVISIONS TO THE LIST OF SUBSTANCES Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: CAA 112( r)

CFR Citation: 40 CFR 68.130 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The list of substances subject to the Chemical Accident Prevention requirements at 40 CFR part 68 was promulgated on January 31, 1994. The Clean Air Act states that the list may be revised from time to time by EPA's own motion or by petition and shall be reviewed at least every 5 years. Since the January 1994 final list rule, EPA has modified the listing for hydrochloric acid; deleted a category of explosive chemicals; exempted flammable substances in gasoline used as fuel and in naturally occurring hydrocarbon mixtures prior to initial processing; and excluded flammable substances used as a fuel or held for sale as a fuel at a retail facility. In fulfillment of the statute's five year review requirement, EPA has conducted a thorough review of the list. Based on that review, EPA is proposing additions, deletions and modifications to the list of substances. Deletions are based on EPA's review of the chemical toxicity, physical property, production/ use quantity and accident history of currently listed substances and new information or erroneous data that impacts the basis of the chemical's listing. Other toxic and flammable chemicals are proposed to be added because they meet the criteria for listing a toxic or flammable substance. In addition, EPA proposes to revise the reporting threshold and toxic endpoints of several toxic substances based on updated toxicity information. Facilities ( such as chemical manufacturers, processors, and users), with more than the threshold quantity of a listed substance in a process, are required to develop a Risk Management Program and submit a Risk Management Plan to EPA. The proposed changes to the list will ensure that facilities are properly managing risks of the most acutely toxic and flammable chemicals that could have an adverse impact on the facility and surrounding community in event of an accidental release.

REVIEW OF THE NATIONAL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY STANDARDS FOR PARTICULATE MATTER Priority: Economically Significant. Major under 5 USC 801.

Unfunded Mandates: Undetermined Legal Authority: 42 USC 7408; 42 USC 7409 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 50 Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, July 1, 2002, Under the Clean Air Act  the next standards review is to be completed July 2002.

Abstract: On July 18, 1997, the EPA published a final rule revising the national ambient air quality standards ( NAAQS) for particulate matter ( PM) ( 62 FR 38652). While retaining the PM10 standard levels, new standards were added for fine particles ( PM2.5) to provide increased protection against both health and environmental effects of PM. On the same day, a Presidential Memorandum ( 62 FR 38421, July 16, 1997) was published that, among other things, anticipated that EPA would complete the next review of the PM NAAQS by July 2002. The EPA's plans and schedule for the next periodic review of the PM NAAQS were published on October 23, 1997 ( 62 FR 55201). Due to the unprecedented volume of new research, the completion of the Criteria Document has been extended and as a result the overall schedule for the review of the PM NAAQS has extended beyond the original target of July 2002. As with other NAAQS reviews, a rigorous assessment of relevant scientific information will be presented in a Criteria Document ( CD) prepared by EPA's National Center for Environmental Assessment. The EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards will then prepare a Staff Paper ( SP) for the Administrator which will evaluate the policy implications of the key studies and scientific information contained in the CD and additional technical analyses and identify critical elements that EPA staff believe should be considered in reviewing the standards. The CD and SP will be reviewed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee ( CASAC) and the public, and both final documents will reflect the input received through these reviews. As the PM NAAQS review is completed, the Administrator's proposal to revise or reaffirm the PM NAAQS will be published with a request for public comment. Input received during the public comment period will be reflected in the Administrator's final decision.

NAAQS: SULFUR DIOXIDE ( RESPONSE TO REMAND) Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7409 CAA sec 109 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 50.4; 40 CFR 50.5 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: On November 15, 1994, the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) proposed not to revise the existing 24 hour and annual primary standards. The EPA sought public comment on the need to adopt additional regulatory measures to address the health risk to asthmatic individuals posed by shortterm peak sulfur dioxide exposure. On March 7, 1995, EPA proposed implementation strategies for reducing short term high concentrations of sulfur dioxide emissions in the ambient air. On May 22, 1996, EPA published its final decision not to revise the primary sulfur dioxide NAAQS. The notice stated that EPA would shortly propose a new implementation strategy to assist States in addressing short term peaks of sulfur dioxide. The new implementation strategy  the Intervention Level Program  was proposed on January 2, 1997. In July 1996, the American Lung Association and the Environmental Defense Fund petitioned the U. S. Court of Appeals for the D. C. Circuit for a judicial review of EPA's decision not to establish a new 5 minute NAAQS. On January 30, 1998, the court found that EPA did not adequately explain its decision and remanded the case so EPA could explain its rationale more fully. EPA published a schedule for responding to the remand in the May 5, 1998, Federal Register.

NESHAP: CHROMIUM ELECTROPLATING AMENDMENT Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CAA 112 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: Final standards under section 112( d) for chromium emissions from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks ( 40 CFR 63, subpart N) were promulgated on January 25, 1995. Since promulgation, the Agency has determined that a class of chromium electroplating operations were inadvertently excluded from regulation. Specifically, the final standards do not apply to sources engaged in continuous chromium electroplating of steel sheet used to make cans and other containers. It is the Agency's intent to regulate all facilities engaged in chromium electroplating. Therefore, the Agency plans to amend the chromium electroplating rule to extend its applicability to continuous chromium electroplating operations. Timetable:

On January 17, 1997, the EPA promulgated changes to the HON to remove ambiguity, to clearly convey EPA intent, and to make the rule easier to understand and implement in response to industry petitions. It is necessary to make parallel changes to the polymers and resins NESHAP; otherwise inconsistencies will exist for NESHAPs regulating similar source categories. An ANPRM was published in the Federal Register on 11/ 25/ 96 ( 61 FR 59849), to explain the nature of changes planned. Subsequently, six litigants have petitioned for review of the elastomers and thermoplastics regulations.

PHASE I ( FIP) TO REDUCE THE REGIONAL TRANSPORT OF OZONE IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES Priority: Economically Significant. Major under 5 USC 801.

Unfunded Mandates: This action may affect State, local or tribal governments and the private sector.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 7410 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 52; 40 CFR 97 Legal Deadline: NPRM, Statutory, January 25, 2003, EPA is required to promulgate FIPs by January 25, 2003, unless States submit approvable plans.

Abstract: This action would promulgate Federal Implementation Plans ( FIPs) which require nitrogen oxides ( NOx) emissions decreases. The intended effect is to reduce the transport of ozone ( smog) pollution and one of its main precursors ( NOx) across State boundaries in the eastern half of the United States. On October 27, 1998, EPA published a final rule ( the NOx SIP Call) which allowed States 12 months to develop, adopt, and submit revisions to their State Implementation Plans ( SIPs) to address the transport problem. The Administrator is required to promulgate a FIP within 2 years of: ( 1) finding that a State has failed to make a required submittal or ( 2) finding that a submittal is not complete or ( 3) disapproving a SIP submittal. On June 22, 2000, the D. C. Court of Appeals assigned a new SIP submittal date of October 30, 2000. Eleven States ( Virginia, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio) and the District of Columbia had not submitted adequate SIPs, as announced in a findings rule published on December 26, 2000. All of these States have since submitted approvable plans, except Michigan. We expect Michigan's plan to be submitted soon. ( Note: The FIPs discussed here will apply to all elements of the NOx SIP call that were not remanded to EPA by the court on March 3, 2000. The portions of the SIP call that were remanded to EPA will be covered under Phase 2 SIPs, and if necessary, separate FIP actions will be prepared for those.)

Abstract: A national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants ( NESHAP) for industrial process cooling towers ( IPCT) was previously promulgated under section 112( d) of the Clean Air Act. That standard effectively bans the use of chromium based water treatment chemicals in IPCT used to remove heat from chemical or industrial processes. The Clean Air Act section 112( f) requires us to assess within 8 years of promulgation of a NESHAP the remaining risk to the public and to develop additional more stringent standards if such standards are needed to protect the public health with an ample margin of safety. This action is to examine the remaining risk from IPCT and, if warranted, to develop new risk based standards.

Abstract: A national emission standard for chromium emissions from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks was previously promulgated under section 112( d) of the Clean Air Act. That standard set emission limits for chromium emissions from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks. The Clean Air Act section 112( f) requires us to assess within 8 years of promulgation of a NESHAP the remaining risk to the public and to develop additional more stringent standards if such standards are needed to protect the public health with an ample margin of safety. This action is to examine the remaining risk from hard and decorative chromium electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks and, if warranted, to develop new risk based standards.

PETITION TO DELIST HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANT: 4,4' METHYLENE DIPHENYL DIISOCYANATE Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7412 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 63 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The Clean Air Act requires EPA to regulate 188 compounds that are listed as air toxics, also known as hazardous air pollutants. Air toxics are those pollutants known, or suspected, to cause cancer and other human health problems. The law allows EPA to consider petitions to modify the list, by adding or removing substances. Individuals seeking to remove a substance must demonstrate that there are adequate data to determine that emissions, outdoor concentrations, bioaccumulation, or atmospheric deposition of the substance may not reasonably be anticipated to damage human health or the environment. The Agency received a petition to remove 4,4' Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate ( MDI) from the American Chemistry Council on December 26, 2002. Once EPA receives a petition, it conducts two reviews: a completeness review, to determine whether there is sufficient information on which to base a decision; and a technical review, to evaluate the merits of the petition. The EPA also requests and considers information from the public. After a comprehensive technical review of both the petition and the information received from the public to determine whether the petition satisfies the requirements of the CAA, the review team is required to make a recommendation to the Administrator on whether to grant the petition. If the Administrator decides to grant a petition, a proposed rule is published in the Federal Register which proposes a modification of the HAP list and presents the reasoning for doing so. The proposed rule is open to public comment and public hearing and all additional substantive information received during the public's VerDate May< 05> 2003 14: 34 May 16, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 1254 Sfmt 1254 D:\ UNIFIED\ PRESSD~ 1\ UA030424.

However, if the Administrator decides to deny a petition, a notice setting forth an explanation of the reasons for denial is published instead. A notice of denial constitutes final Agency action of nationwide scope and applicability, and is subject to judicial review as provided in the CAA.

INTERSTATE OZONE TRANSPORT: RULEMAKING ON SECTION 126 PETITIONS FROM THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, DELAWARE, MARYLAND, AND NEW JERSEY Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 7426 CFR Citation: 40 CFR 52; 40 CFR 97 Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, December 14, 1999, The rulemaking includes action on four separate petitions. See Additional Information. Abstract: In April through July 1999, three northeastern States ( New Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware) and the District of Columbia submitted individual petitions to EPA in accordance with section 126 of the Clean Air Act ( CAA). Each petition specifically requests that EPA make a finding that nitrogen oxides ( NOx) emissions from certain stationary sources in other States significantly contribute to ozone nonattainment and maintenance problems with respect to the 1 hour and 8 hour ozone standards in the petitioning State. If EPA makes such a finding of significant contribution, EPA is authorized to establish Federal emissions limits for the sources. The petitions rely on the analyses from EPA's NOx SIP call. The sources targeted by the petitions are large electricity generating units and large non electricity generating units, as defined in EPA's NOx SIP call. The EPA took rulemaking action on similar petitions from eight other northeastern States that were submitted in 1997. Timetable:
