Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain

II. Background A. Introduction EPA's OPPT is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that chemicals made available for sale and use in the United States do not pose any unreasonable risks to human health or to the environment. In addition, OPPT promotes pollution prevention as the national policy for controlling industrial pollution at its source. OPPT focuses on the following four components: Promoting pollution prevention as the guiding principle for controlling industrial pollution; promoting safer chemicals through a combination of regulatory and voluntary efforts; promoting risk reduction to minimize exposure to existing substances such as lead, asbestos, mercury, perfluorooctyl sulfonate ( PFOS), and promoting public understanding of risks by providing understandable, accessible, and complete information on chemical risks to the broadest audience possible. While there are both formal and informal mechanisms in place to involve the public in OPPT decisionmaking activities, NPPTAC will bring together a broad cross section of knowledgeable individuals from organizations representing diverse views to discuss regulatory, policy, and implementation issues. Dialogue with outside groups is essential if OPPT is to be responsive to the needs of the affected public; non governmental organizations; industry organizations; and State, Tribal, and local governments.

B. Committee Purpose NPPTAC is being established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act ( FACA), 5 U. S. C. App. 2 ( Public Law 92   463), and copies of the Committee Charter have been filed with the appropriate committees of Congress and the Library of Congress. NPPTAC will provide advice and recommendations to the Agency regarding the overall policy and operations of OPPT programs. NPPTAC shall hold meetings, analyze issues, conduct reviews, produce reports, make necessary recommendations, and undertake other activities necessary to meet its responsibilities. The objectives of this Committee are to provide advice and recommendations to EPA in areas such as: 1. Risk assessment/ management. Policies for implementation of regulatory and voluntary programs that are intended to identify, reduce, or eliminate potentially unreasonable risks. This may include such issues as gathering information and data relevant to the assessment of risks, including hazard and exposure information related to a particular chemical substance, as well as methods for evaluating, managing, and reducing potential risks. This would include policies for implementation of OPPT programs such as the High Production Volume ( HPV) Challenge Program, the Voluntary Children's Health Testing Chemical Evaluation Program ( VCCEP), and the Chemical Right to Know ( ChemRTK) Initiative, as well as the establishment of policies to guide national program chemicals risk management activities for chemicals such as asbestos, lead, polychlorinated biphenyls, PFOS, and mercury. 2. Risk communication. Means to promote the public's right to know about chemicals in their communities, including risk communication and access to Agency information systems. 3. Pollution prevention. Policies to guide the chemical pollution prevention priorities and multimedia activities, including OPPT programs such as the Persistent Bioaccumulative and Toxic Initiative ( PBTI), Green Chemistry, and the Design for the Environment ( DfE) Program. 4. Coordination. EPA's framework for integrating its TSCA and pollution prevention programs with other EPA and other Federal, State, Tribal, and local government programs, and coordinating with non governmental organizations, such as public health organizations, environmental justice organizations, children's advocates, animal welfare groups, industry, environmental organizations, and international groups, to ensure full input into the decision making. 5. Other issues as identified by EPA related to policies and the implementation of related programs within OPPT. The Committee's activities will include efforts to provide advice on regulatory and non regulatory approaches, develop options and, where appropriate, more clearly define critical policy and technical issues.

C. Composition and Organization 1. Membership. The Committee will be composed of approximately 15 members. EPA will have a balanced representation of members in terms of the points of view represented and the scope of activities of NPPTAC. An EPA employee will act as the Designated Federal Official ( DFO) who will be responsible for providing the necessary staffing, operations, and support for the Committee. The Agency is seeking qualified senior level decision makers from diverse sectors throughout the United States to be considered for membership on the Committee. The Agency is seeking representation from among the type of organizations listed below. Please indicate in your submittal the sector with which your nomination is most closely associated:   State and local government agency.   Federally recognized Tribe.   Public health or environmental professional.   Chemical manufacturer and/ or user.   Non governmental organization, such as environmental group, environmental justice organization, children's advocate, and animal welfare organization.   Other non governmental entity, as deemed appropriate. Establishing a balance and diversity of experience, knowledge, and judgement in membership is an important consideration in the selection of members.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; NC; Redesignation of the
Rocky Mount 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area to Attainment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On June 19, 2006, the State of North Carolina, through the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
Division of Air Quality, submitted a final request: To redesignate the
Rocky Mount 8-hour ozone nonattainment area to attainment for the 8-
hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard, and to approve a
North Carolina State Implementation Plan revision containing a
maintenance plan for Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The Rocky Mount 8-
hour ozone nonattainment area is comprised of two counties, Edgecombe
and Nash. EPA is proposing to approve the 8-hour ozone redesignation
request for the Rocky Mount 8-hour ozone nonattainment area.
Additionally, EPA is proposing to approve the 8-hour ozone maintenance
plan for Rocky Mount, North Carolina. This proposal is based on EPA's
determination that the State of North Carolina has demonstrated that
the Rocky Mount area has met the criteria for redesignation to
attainment specified in the Clean Air Act, including the determination
that the entire Rocky Mount 8-hour ozone nonattainment area has
attained the 8-hour ozone standard. In this action, EPA is also finding
adequate and proposing to approve the 2008 and 2017 motor vehicle
emissions budgets (MVEBs) for nitrogen oxides (for both Edgecombe and
Nash counties) that are contained in the 8-hour ozone maintenance plan
for the Rocky Mount nonattainment area. North Carolina has established
subarea MVEBs at the county level so each county must consider its
individual subarea MVEBs for the purposes of implementing
transportation conformity. Further, in this action, EPA is proposing to
find adequate and to approve the insignificance determination for
volatile organic compounds' contribution from motor vehicle emissions
to the 8-hour ozone pollution in the Rocky Mount, North Carolina area.
