    Fall 2010 Regulatory Agenda
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
    
    ACTION: Semiannual regulatory flexibility agenda and semiannual 
    regulatory agenda.
    
    _______________________________________________________________________
    
    SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) publishes the 
    semiannual regulatory agenda online (the e-Agenda) at www.reginfo.gov 
    to update the public about:
    
     Regulations and major policies currently under development,
    
     Reviews of existing regulations and major policies, and
    
     Rules and major policymakings completed or canceled since the 
    last agenda.
    
        Definitions:
    
        ``E-Agenda,'' ``online regulatory agenda,'' and ``semiannual 
    regulatory agenda'' all refer to the same comprehensive collection 
    of information that until 2007 was published in the Federal 
    Register but which now is only available through an online 
    database.
    
        ``Regulatory Flexibility Agenda'' refers to a document that 
    contains information about regulations that may have a significant 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities. It continues to 
    be published in the Federal Register because that is what is 
    required by the 1980 Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    
        ``Monthly Action Initiation List'' (AIL) refers to a list that 
    EPA posts online each month of the regulations newly approved for 
    development.
    
        ``Unified Regulatory Agenda'' refers to the collection of all 
    agencies' agendas with an introduction prepared by the Regulatory 
    Information Service Center.
    
        ``Regulatory Agenda preamble'' refers to the document you are 
    reading now. It appears as part of the Regulatory Flexibility 
    Agenda and introduces both the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda and 
    the e-Agenda.
    
        ``Rulemaking Gateway'' refers to a new online portal to EPA's 
    priority rules with earlier and more frequently updated information 
    about Agency regulations. More information about the Rulemaking 
    Gateway appears in section H of this preamble.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  If you have questions or comments 
    about a particular action, please get in touch with the agency contact 
    listed in each agenda entry. If you have general questions about the 
    semiannual regulatory agenda, please contact: Phil Schwartz 
    (schwartz.philip@epa.gov; 202-564-6564) or Caryn Muellerleile 
    (muellerleile.caryn@epa.gov; 202-564-2855).
    
    TO BE PLACED ON A MAILING LIST FOR UPDATED INFORMATION ON RULES UNDER 
    DEVELOPMENT: If you would like to receive an e-mail with a link to new 
    semiannual regulatory agendas as soon as they are published, please 
    send an e-mail message with your name and address to: nscep@bps-
    lmit.com and put ``E-Regulatory Agenda: Electronic Copy'' in the 
    subject line.

    rules newly approved for development, sign up for our monthly 
    Action Initiation List by going to http://www.epa.gov/lawsregs/
    search/ail.htmlnotification and completing the steps 
    listed there.
    
        You can track progress on various aspects of EPA's priority 
    rulemakings by signing up for RSS feeds from the Rulemaking Gateway 
    at http://yosemite.epa.gov/opei/RuleGate.nsf/content/
    getalerts.html?opendocument.
    
        If you would like to receive a hard copy of the semiannual 
    agenda about 2 to 3 months after publication, call 800-490-9198 or 
    send an e-mail with your name and complete address to: nscep@bps-
    lmit.com and put ``Regulatory Agenda Hard Copy'' in the subject 
    line. We are ending distribution of hard copies of the Agenda after 
    the Fall 2010 edition. You will still, however, be able to download 
    and print a Federal Register style version of the EPA's Agenda at 
    www.epa.gov/lawsregs/search/regagenda.html.

    B. What Are EPA's Regulatory Priorities, and What Key Principles, 
    Statutes, and Executive Orders Guide Our Rule and Policymaking Process?
    
    Priorities
    
        To guide the Agency's efforts in 2011 and subsequent years, 
    Administrator Lisa P. Jackson has established the following seven 
    guiding principles. For a more extensive discussion of these 
    principles please see our FY 2011 Regulatory Plan.
    
        1. Taking Action on Climate Change: In 2009 EPA finalized an 
    endangerment finding on greenhouse gases; issued the first national 
    rules to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions under the Clean Air Act; 
    and initiated a national reporting system for greenhouse gas 
    emissions. In 2010, EPA and NHTSA announced a joint final rule 
    establishing a historic national program that will dramatically 
    reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for new 
    cars and trucks sold in the United States. The mobile sources 
    addressed in that regulatory action -- light-duty vehicles and 
    heavy-duty vehicles --accounted for 23 percent of all U.S. 
    greenhouse gas emissions in 2007. While EPA stands ready to help 
    Congress craft strong, science-based climate legislation that 
    addresses the spectrum of issues, the Agency will deploy existing 
    regulatory tools as they are available and warranted.
    
        2. Improving Air Quality: Since passage of the Clean Air Act 
    Amendments in 1990, nationwide air quality has improved 
    significantly for the six criteria air pollutants for which there 
    are national ambient air quality standards. Despite this progress, 
    about 127 million Americans lived in counties with air considered 
    unhealthy in 2008. Long-term exposure to air pollution can cause 
    cancer and damage to the immune, neurological, reproductive, 
    cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. Because people spend much 
    of their lives indoors, the quality of indoor air is also a major 
    concern.
    
        3. Assuring the Safety of Chemicals: One of EPA's highest 
    priorities is to make significant and long overdue progress in 
    assuring the safety of chemicals. On September 29, 2009, 
    Administrator Jackson announced clear principles to guide Congress 
    in writing a new chemical risk management law that will fix the 
    weaknesses in Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). EPA is shifting 
    its focus to addressing high-concern chemicals and filling data 
    gaps on widely-produced chemicals in commerce.
    
        4. Cleaning Up Our Communities: In 2009, EPA accelerated its 
    Superfund program and confronted significant local environmental 
    challenges like the asbestos Public Health Emergency in Libby, 
    Montana and the coal ash spill in Kingston, Tennessee.
    
        5. Protecting America's Waters: America's water bodies are 
    imperiled as never before. Water quality and enforcement programs 
    face complex challenges, from nutrient loadings and storm water 
    runoff to invasive species and drinking water contaminants. These 
    challenges demand both traditional and innovative strategies.
    
        6. Expanding the Conversation on Environmentalism and Working 
    for Environmental Justice: Environmentalism has been described as a 
    conversation that we all must have because it is about protecting 
    people in the places they live, work, and raise families. The 
    Agency is now focusing on expanding the conversation to include new 
    stakeholders and involve communities in more direct ways.
    
        7. Building Strong State and Tribal Partnerships: EPA's success 
    depends more than ever on working with increasingly capable and 
    environmentally conscious partners. The Agency works with the 
    States and Tribes, business and industry, nonprofit organizations, 
    environmental groups, and educational institutions in a wide 
    variety of collaborative efforts. States and tribal nations bear 
    important responsibilities for the day-to-day mission of 
    environmental protection.
    
    Other Key Principles, Statutes, and Executive Orders Guiding Our Rule 
    and Policymaking Process
    
        EPA's strength has always been our ability to adapt to the 
    constantly changing face of environmental protection as our economy 
    and society evolve, and science teaches us more about how humans 
    interact with and affect the natural world. Now, more than ever, 
    EPA must be innovative and forward looking because the 
    environmental challenges faced by Americans all across our country 
    are unprecedented.
    
        Besides the fundamental environmental laws authorizing EPA 
    actions such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, there are 
    legal requirements that apply to the issuance of regulations that 
    are generally contained in the Administrative Procedure Act, the 
    Regulatory Flexibility Act as amended by the Small Business 
    Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
    Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, the National Technology Transfer 
    and Advancement Act, and the
    
    [[Page 79846]]
    
    Congressional Review Act. We also must meet a number of 
    requirements contained in Executive Orders 12866 (Regulatory 
    Planning and Review; 58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993), 12898 
    (Environmental Justice; 59 FR 7629; February 16, 1994), 13045 
    (Children's Health Protection; 62 FR 19885; April 23, 1997), 13132 
    (Federalism; 64 FR 43255; August 10, 1999), 13175 (Consultation and 
    Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments; 65 FR 67249; November 
    9, 2000), 13211 (Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly 
    Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use; 66 FR 28355; May 22, 
    2001).
    
    C. How Can You Be Involved in EPA's Rule and Policymaking Process?
    
        You can make your voice heard by getting in touch with the 
    contact person provided in each agenda entry. We urge you to 
    participate as early in the process as possible. You may also 
    participate by commenting on proposed rules that we publish in the 
    Federal Register (FR).
    
        Instructions on how to submit your comments are provided in 
    each of our Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs). To be most 
    effective, comments should contain information and data that 
    support your position, and you also should explain why we should 
    incorporate your suggestion in the rule or nonregulatory action. 
    You can be particularly helpful and persuasive if you provide 
    examples to illustrate your concerns and offer specific 
    alternatives.
    
        We believe our actions will be more cost-effective and 
    protective if our development process includes stakeholders working 
    with us to identify the most practical and effective solutions to 
    problems, and we stress this point most strongly in all of our 
    training programs for rule and policy developers. Democracy gives 
    real power to individual citizens, but with that power comes 
    responsibility. We urge you to become involved in EPA's rule and 
    policymaking process. For more information about public involvement 
    in EPA activities, please visit www.epa.gov/publicinvolvement.
    
    D. What Actions Are Included in the E-Agenda and the Regulatory 
    Flexibility Agenda?
    
        EPA includes regulations and certain major policy documents in 
    the e-Agenda. However, there is no legal significance to the 
    omission of an item from the agenda, and we generally do not 
    include the following categories of actions:
    
     Administrative actions such as delegations of authority, 
    changes of address, or phone numbers;
    
     Under the Clean Air Act: Revisions to State Implementation 
    Plans; Equivalent Methods for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring; Deletions 
    from the New Source Performance Standards source categories list; 
    Delegations of Authority to States; Area Designations for Air Quality 
    Planning Purposes;
    
     Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act: 
    Registration-related decisions, actions affecting the status of 
    currently registered pesticides, and data call-ins;
    
     Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act: Actions 
    regarding pesticide tolerances and food additive regulations;
    
     Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act: 
    Authorization of State solid waste management plans; hazardous waste 
    delisting petitions;
    
     Under the Clean Water Act: State Water Quality Standards; 
    deletions from the section 307(a) list of toxic pollutants; suspensions 
    of toxic testing requirements under the National Pollutant Discharge 
    Elimination System (NPDES); delegations of NPDES authority to States;
    
     Under the Safe Drinking Water Act: Actions on State 
    underground injection control programs.
    
        The Regulatory Flexibility Agenda normally includes:
    
     Actions likely to have a significant economic impact on a 
    substantial number of small entities.
    
     Rules the Agency has identified for periodic review under 
    section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. There are four rules for 
    610 reviews in 2010.
    
    E. How Is the E-Agenda Organized?
    
        You can now choose how both the www.reginfo.gov and 
    www.regulations.gov versions of the e-Agenda are organized. Current 
    choices include: EPA subagency; stage of rulemaking, explained 
    below; alphabetically by title; and by the Regulation Identifier 
    Number (RIN), which is assigned sequentially when an action is 
    added to the agenda.
    
        Stages of rulemaking include:
    
        1. Prerulemaking--Prerulemaking actions are generally intended 
    to determine whether EPA should initiate rulemaking. Prerulemakings 
    may include anything that influences or leads to rulemaking, such 
    as Advance Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRMs studies or 
    analyses of the possible need for regulatory action, announcement 
    of reviews of existing regulations required under section 610 of 
    the Regulatory Flexibility Act, requests for public comment on the 
    need for regulatory action, or important preregulatory policy 
    proposals).
    
        2. Proposed Rule--This section includes EPA rulemaking actions 
    that are within a year of proposal (publication of Notices of 
    Proposed Rulemakings (NPRMs)).
    
        3. Final Rule--This section includes rules that will be issued 
    as a final rule within a year.
    
        4. Long-Term Actions--This section includes rulemakings for 
    which the next scheduled regulatory action is after October 2011. 
    We urge you to explore becoming involved even if an action is 
    listed in the Long-Term category. By the time an action is listed 
    in the Proposed Rules category you may have missed the opportunity 
    to participate in certain public meetings or policy dialogues.
    
        5. Completed Actions--This section contains actions that have 
    been promulgated and published in the Federal Register since 
    publication of the spring 2010. It also includes actions that EPA 
    is no longer considering. If an action appears in the completed 
    section, it will not appear in future agendas unless we decide to 
    initiate action again, in which case it will appear as a new entry. 
    EPA also announces the results of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 
    section 610 reviews in this section of the agenda.
    
    F. What Information Is in the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda and the E-
    Agenda?
    
        Regulatory Flexibility Agenda entries include:
    
        Sequence Number, RIN, Title, Description, Statutory Authority, 
    Section 610 Review, if applicable, Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 
    Required, Schedule, Contact Person.
    
        E-Agenda entries include:
    
        Title: Titles for new entries (those that have not appeared in 
    previous agendas) are preceded by a bullet (). The
    
    [[Page 79847]]
    
    notation ``Section 610 Review'' follows the title if we are 
    reviewing the rule as part of our periodic review of existing rules 
    under section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 
    610).
    
        Priority: Entries are placed into one of five categories 
    described below. OMB reviews all significant rules including both 
    of the first two categories, ``economically significant'' and 
    ``other significant.''
    
        Economically Significant: Under E.O. 12866, a rulemaking action 
    that may have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or 
    more, or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector 
    of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, 
    public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or 
    communities.
    
        Other Significant: A rulemaking that is not economically 
    significant but is considered significant for other reasons. This 
    category includes rules that may:
    
        1. Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with 
    an action taken or planned by another agency;
    
        2. Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, 
    grants, user fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations 
    of recipients; or
    
        3. Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal 
    mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles in 
    Executive Order 12866.
    
        Substantive, Nonsignificant: A rulemaking that has substantive 
    impacts but is not Significant, Routine and Frequent, or 
    Informational/Administrative/Other.
    
        Routine and Frequent: A rulemaking that is a specific case of a 
    recurring application of a regulatory program in the Code of 
    Federal Regulations (e.g., certain State Implementation Plans, 
    National Priority List updates, Significant New Use Rules, State 
    Hazardous Waste Management Program actions, and Tolerance 
    Exemptions). If an action that would normally be classified Routine 
    and Frequent is reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget 
    under E.O. 12866, then we would classify the action as either 
    ``Economically Significant'' or ``Other Significant.''
    
        Informational/Administrative/Other: An action that is primarily 
    informational or pertains to an action outside the scope of E.O. 
    12866.
    
        Also, if we believe that a rule may be ``Major'' as defined in 
    the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801, et seq.) because it is 
    likely to result in an annual effect on the economy of $100 million 
    or more or meets other criteria specified in this law, we indicate 
    this under the ``Priority'' heading with the statement ``Major 
    under 5 USC 801.''
    
        Legal Authority: The sections of the United States Code (USC), 
    Public Law (PL), Executive Order (EO), or common name of the law 
    that authorizes the regulatory action.
    
        CFR Citation: The sections of the Code of Federal Regulations 
    that would be affected by the action.
    
        Legal Deadline: An indication of whether the rule is subject to 
    a statutory or judicial deadline, the date of that deadline, and 
    whether the deadline pertains to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, a 
    Final Action, or some other action.
    
        Abstract: A brief description of the problem the action will 
    address.
    
        Timetable: The dates (and citations) that documents for this 
    action were published in the Federal Register and, where possible, 
    a projected date for the next step. Projected publication dates 
    frequently change during the course of developing an action. The 
    projections in the agenda are our best estimates as of the date we 
    submit the agenda for publication. For some entries, the timetable 
    indicates that the date of the next action is ``to be determined.''
    
        Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Required: Indicates whether EPA 
    has prepared or anticipates that it will be preparing a regulatory 
    flexibility analysis under section 603 or 604 of the RFA. 
    Generally, such an analysis is required for proposed or final rules 
    subject to the RFA that EPA believes may have a significant 
    economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    
        Small Entities Affected: Indicates whether we expect the rule 
    to have any effect on small businesses, small governments, or small 
    nonprofit organizations.
    
        Government Levels Affected: Indicates whether we expect the 
    rule to have any effect on levels of government and, if so, whether 
    the governments are State, local, tribal, or Federal.
    
        Federalism Implications: Indicates whether the action is 
    expected to have substantial direct effects on the States, on the 
    relationship between the National Government and the States, or on 
    the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
    levels of government.
    
        Unfunded Mandates: Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
    Act generally requires an assessment of anticipated costs and 
    benefits if a rule includes a mandate that may result in 
    expenditures of more than $100 million in any one year by State, 
    local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private 
    sector. If we expect to exceed this $100 million threshold, we note 
    it in this section.
    
        Energy Impacts: Indicates whether the action is a significant 
    energy action under E.O. 13211.
    
        International Trade Impacts: Indicates whether the action is 
    likely to have international trade or investment effects, or 
    otherwise be of international interest.
    
        Agency Contact: The name, address, phone number, and e-mail 
    address, if available, of a person who is knowledgeable about the 
    regulation.
    
        Additional Information: Other information about the action 
    including docket information.
    
        URLs: For some of our actions, we include the Internet 
    addresses for reading copies of rulemaking documents, submitting 
    comments on proposals, and getting more information about the 
    rulemaking and the program of which it is a part. (Note: To submit 
    comments on proposals, you can go to our electronic docket, which 
    is at www.regulations.gov. Once there, follow the online 
    instructions to access the docket and submit comments. A docket 
    identification (ID) number will assist in the search for materials. 
    We include this number in the additional information section of 
    many of the agenda entries that have already been proposed.)
    
        RIN: The Regulation Identifier Number is used by OMB to 
    identify and track rulemakings. The first four digits of the RIN 
    stand for the EPA office with lead responsibility for developing 
    the action.
    
    G. How Can I Find Out About Rulemakings That Start Up After the 
    Regulatory Agenda Is Signed?
    
        EPA posts monthly information of new rulemakings that the 
    Agency's senior managers have decided that we
    
    [[Page 79848]]
    
    should develop. We also distribute this list via e-mail. You can 
    see the current list, which we call the Action Initiation List at 
    http://www.epa.gov/lawsregs/search/ail.html where you will also 
    find information about how to get an e-mail notification when a new 
    list is posted.
    
    H. What Tools for Mining Regulatory Agenda Data and for Finding More 
    About EPA Rules and Policies Are Available at Reginfo.gov, EPA.gov, and 
    Regulations.gov?
    1. The http://www.reginfo.gov/ Searchable Database
    
        The Regulatory Information Service Center and Office of 
    Information and Regulatory Affairs have revised a Federal 
    regulatory dashboard and continue to allow users to view the 
    Regulatory Agenda database (http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
    eAgendaMain), which includes powerful search, display, and data 
    transmission options. At that site you can:
    
        1. See the preamble. At the URL listed above for the Unified 
    Agenda and Regulatory Plan, find ``Current Agenda Agency 
    Preambles.'' Environmental Protection Agency is listed 
    alphabetically under ``Other Executive Agencies.''
    
        2. Get a complete list of EPA's entries in the current edition 
    of the Agenda. Use the drop-down menu in the ``Select Agency'' box 
    to find Environmental Protection Agency and ``Submit.''
    
        3. View the contents of all of EPA's entries in the current 
    edition of the Agenda. Choose ``Search'' from the ``Unified 
    Agenda'' selection in the toolbar at the top of the page. Within 
    the ``Search of Agenda/Regulatory Plan'' screen, open ``Advanced 
    Search,'' then ``Continue.'' Select ``Environmental Protection 
    Agency'' and ``Continue.'' Select ``Search,'' then ``View All RIN 
    Data (Max 350).''
    
        4. Get a listing of entries with specified characteristics. 
    Follow the procedure described immediately above for viewing the 
    contents of all entries, but on the screen entitled ``Advanced 
    Search - Select Additional Fields,'' choose the characteristics you 
    are seeking before ``Search.'' For example, if you wish to see a 
    listing of all economically significant actions that may have a 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
    businesses, you would check ``Economically Significant'' under 
    ``Priority'' and ``Business'' under ``Regulatory Flexibility 
    Analysis Required.''
    
        5. Download the results of your searches in XML format.
    
    2. Subject Matter EPA Websites
    
        Some actions listed in the Agenda include a URL that provides 
    additional information.
    
    3. Public Dockets
    
        When EPA publishes either an Advanced Notice of Proposed 
    Rulemaking (ANPRM) or a NPRM in the Federal Register, the Agency 
    typically establishes a docket to accumulate materials throughout 
    the development process for that rulemaking. The docket serves as 
    the repository for the collection of documents or information 
    related to a particular Agency action or activity. EPA most 
    commonly uses dockets for rulemaking actions, but dockets may also 
    be used for Regulatory Flexibility Act section 610 reviews of rules 
    with significant economic impacts on a substantial number of small 
    entities and for various nonrulemaking activities, such as Federal 
    Register documents seeking public comments on draft guidance, 
    policy statements, information collection requests under the 
    Paperwork Reduction Act, and other non-rule activities. Docket 
    information should be in that action's agenda entry. All of EPA's 
    public dockets can be located at www.regulations.gov.
    
    4. EPA's Rulemaking Gateway
    
        EPA's Rulemaking Gateway (www.epa.gov/rulemaking/) serves as a 
    portal to EPA's priority rules, providing you with earlier and more 
    frequently updated information about Agency regulations than is 
    provided by the Regulatory Agenda.
    
        The Rulemaking Gateway provides information as soon as work 
    begins and provides updates on a monthly basis as new information 
    becomes available. Time-sensitive information, such as notice of a 
    public meeting, is updated on a daily basis. Not all of EPA's 
    Regulatory Agenda entries appear on the Rulemaking Gateway; only 
    priority rulemakings can be found on the Gateway.
    
    I. Reviews of Rules With Significant Impacts on a Substantial Number of 
    Small Entities
    
        Section 610 of the RFA requires that an agency review, within 
    10 years of promulgation, each rule that has or will have a 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
    entities. EPA has four rules scheduled for 610 review in 2010.

        EPA has established official public dockets for these 610 
    Reviews under the docket identification (ID) numbers as indicated 
    above. All documents in the dockets are listed on the 
    www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some 
    information is not publicly available; e.g., confidential business 
    information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is 
    restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted 
    material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly 
    available only in hard copy form.
    
    [[Page 79849]]
    
    Publicly available docket materials are available either 
    electronically through www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the 
    applicable program (Water or Air) docket, EPA/DC, EPA West, Room 
    3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460. The 
    Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday

    the Public Reading Room is (202) 566-1744. Unless otherwise 
    indicated, please direct your comments to the identified docket ID 
    number for the specific 610 Review item. For these 610 Reviews, 
    please DO NOT submit CBI or information that is otherwise protected 
    by statute. You may submit comments using one of the following 
    methods:
    
        1. Electronically. Go directly to www.regulations.gov and find 
    ``Advanced Docket Search.'' Enter the appropriate docket ID number. 
    The system is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will 
    not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact 
    information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If 
    you do submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you 
    include your name, mailing address, and an e-mail address or other 
    contact information in the body of your comment. EPA's policy is 
    that EPA will not edit your comment, and any identifying or contact 
    information provided in the body of a comment will be included as 
    part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket 
    and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.
    
        2. By Mail. Send your comments to: EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), 
    Environmental Protection Agency, Docket  [insert 
    applicable docket number], 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., 
    Washington, DC 20460.
    
        3. By Hand Delivery or Courier. Deliver your comments, 
    identified by the Docket  [insert applicable docket 
    number], to: EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 
    Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460. The EPA Docket 
    Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 
    Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone 
    number for the Reading Room is (202) 566-1744. Such deliveries are 
    only accepted during the docket center's normal hours of operation 
    as identified above. For more information on EPA's docket center, 
    please visit http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    
        Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the 
    specified comment period. Comments received after the close of the 
    comment period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to 
    consider these late comments. For this action, please DO NOT submit 
    CBI or information that is otherwise protected by statute.
    
    J. What Other Special Attention Do We Give to the Impacts of Rules on 
    Small Businesses, Small Governments, and Small Nonprofit Organizations?
    
        For each of our rulemakings, we consider whether there will be 
    any adverse impact on any small entity. We attempt to fit the 
    regulatory requirements, to the extent feasible, to the scale of 
    the businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions 
    subject to the regulation.
    
        Under RFA/SBREFA (the Regulatory Flexibility Act as amended by 
    the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act), the Agency 
    must prepare a formal analysis of the potential negative impacts on 
    small entities, convene a Small Business Advocacy Review Panel 
    (proposed rule stage), and prepare a Small Entity Compliance Guide 
    (final rule stage) unless the Agency certifies a rule will not have 
    a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
    entities. For more detailed information about the Agency's policy 
    and practice with respect to implementing RFA/SBREFA, please visit 
    the RFA/SBREFA Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sbrefa/.

    Regulatory Flexibility Analysis will be required, go to http://

    K. Thank You for Collaborating With Us
    
        Finally, we would like to thank those of you who choose to join 
    with us in making progress on the complex issues involved in 
    protecting human health and the environment. Collaborative efforts 
    such as EPA's open rulemaking process are a valuable tool for 
    addressing the problems we face, and the regulatory agenda is an 
    important part of that process.

    443. REVISION OF NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL 
    WOOD HEATERS
    
    Legal Authority: CAA sec 111
    
    Abstract: EPA is revising the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 
    for residential wood heaters under the Clean Air Act section 
    111(b)(1)(B). This action is necessary because it updates the 1988 NSPS 
    to reflect significant advancements in wood heater technologies and 
    design, broaden the range of residential wood heating appliances 
    covered by the regulation, and improve and streamline implementation 
    procedures. This rule is expected to require manufacturers to redesign 
    wood heaters to be cleaner and lower emitting. In general, the design 
    changes will also make the heaters perform better and be more 
    efficient. The revisions are also expected to retain the requirement 
    for manufacturers to contract for testing of model lines by third-party 
    independent laboratories, report the results to EPA, and label the 
    models accordingly. This action does not apply to existing residential 
    woodstoves, pellet stoves and other residential biomass heating units.

    448. NESHAP: BRICK AND STRUCTURAL CLAY PRODUCTS AND CLAY PRODUCTS
    
    Legal Authority: Not Yet Determined
    
    Abstract: This rulemaking will establish emission limits for hazardous 
    air pollutants (HF, HCl and metals) emitted from brick and clay 
    ceramics kilns and glazing operations at clay ceramics production 
    facilities. The brick and structural clay products industry primarily 
    includes facilities that manufacture brick, clay, pipe, roof tile, 
    extruded floor and wall tile, and other extruded dimensional clay 
    products from clay, shale, or a combination of the two. The 
    manufacturing of brick and structural clay products involves mining, 
    raw material processing (crushing, grinding,
    
    [[Page 79853]]
    
    and screening), mixing, forming, cutting or shaping, drying, and 
    firing. Ceramics are defined as a class of inorganic, nonmetallic 
    solids that are subject to high temperature in manufacture and/or use. 
    The clay ceramics manufacturing source category includes facilities 
    that manufacture traditional ceramics, which include ceramic tile, 
    dinnerware, sanitaryware, pottery, and porcelain. The primary raw 
    material used in the manufacture of these traditional ceramics is clay. 
    The manufacturing of clay ceramics involves raw material processing 
    (crushing, grinding, and screening), mixing, forming, shaping, drying, 
    glazing, and firing.

    449. TIER II LIGHT-DUTY VEHICLE AND LIGHT-DUTY TRUCK EMISSION STANDARDS 
    AND GASOLINE SULFUR STANDARDS (COMPLETION OF A SECTION 610 REVIEW)
    
    Legal Authority: 5 USC 610
    
    Abstract: On February 10, 2000 (65 FR 6698), EPA promulgated a 
    regulation to require emission standards for light-duty vehicles and 
    light-duty trucks through lowering tailpipe emission standards. 
    Specifically, EPA sought to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and 
    non-methane hydrocarbons, pollutants which contribute to ozone 
    pollution. The rulemaking also provided limitations on the sulfur 
    content of gasoline available nationwide. Sulfur in gasoline has a 
    detrimental impact on catalyst performance and could be a limiting 
    factor in the introduction of advanced technologies on motor vehicles.
    Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, on February 
    19, 2010, EPA initiated a review of this rule to determine if it should 
    be continued without change, or should be rescinded or amended to 
    minimize adverse economic impacts on small entities (75 FR 7426). EPA 
    has solicited comments on, the following factors: (1) The continued 
    need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received 
    concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to 
    which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, 
    State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which 
    technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the 
    area affected by the rule. No relevant comments were received, and EPA 
    has concluded that the rule needs no revisions at this time to minimize 
    impacts on small entities. See EPA's report summarizing the results of 
    this review in the docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0052. This docket can be 
    accessed at www.regulations.gov.

    PRODUCED UNDER THE FINAL RFS2 PROGRAM FROM CANOLA OIL
    
    Legal Authority: Clean Air Act sec 211(o)
    
    Abstract: As indicated in the final rule for the Renewable Fuels 
    Standard Program, while the Agency issued lifecycle greenhouse gas 
    (GHG) threshold determinations for the major fuel pathways projected to 
    meet the bulk of the RFS volume mandates, assessments of other new fuel 
    pathways such as biodiesel from canola could not be completed in time 
    for the final rule. In the process of assessing these fuels, the Agency 
    is issuing determinations through several supplemental notices to the 
    final rule.
    For this supplemental notice, EPA plans to publish a final 
    determination for biomass-based diesel produced from canola oil. The 
    Agency will issue a Direct Final Notice of Supplemental Determination 
    in mid-September.

    Legal Authority: 7 USC 136a; 7 USC 136w
    
    Abstract: EPA is developing rulemaking to modify the minimum risk 
    pesticides exemption under 40 CFR 152.25(f) to exclude personally 
    applied insect repellents from the exemption and require an abbreviated 
    data set for such products. EPA is taking this action because these 
    pesticides claim to control pests of significant public health 
    importance.

    452. PESTICIDES; CERTIFICATION OF PESTICIDE APPLICATORS
    
    Legal Authority: 7 USC 136; 7 USC 136i; 7 USC 136w
    
    Abstract: EPA is proposing change the federal regulations under the 
    Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) that guide 
    the certified pesticide applicator program (40 CFR 171). Change is 
    sought to strengthen the regulations to better protect pesticide 
    applicators and the public and the environment from harm due to 
    pesticide exposure. The possible need for change arose from EPA 
    discussions with key stakeholders. EPA has been in extensive 
    discussions with stakeholders since 1997 when the Certification and 
    Training Assessment Group (CTAG) was established. CTAG is a forum used 
    by regulatory and academic stakeholders to discuss the current state 
    of, and the need for improvements in, the national certified pesticide 
    applicator program. Throughout these extensive interactions with 
    stakeholders, EPA has learned of the potential need for changes to the 
    regulation.

    453. PESTICIDES; AGRICULTURAL WORKER PROTECTION STANDARD REVISIONS
    
    Legal Authority: 7 USC 136; 7 USC 136w
    
    Abstract: EPA is developing a proposal under the Federal Insecticide, 
    Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to revise the federal regulations 
    guiding agricultural worker protection (40 CFR 170). The changes under 
    consideration are intended to improve agricultural workers' ability to 
    protect themselves from potential exposure to pesticides and pesticide 
    residues. In addition, EPA is proposing to make adjustments to improve 
    and clarify current requirements and facilitate enforcement. Other 
    changes sought are to establish a right-to-know Hazard Communication 
    program and make improvements to pesticide safety training, with 
    improved worker safety the intended outcome. The potential need for 
    change arose from EPA discussions with key stakeholders beginning in 
    1996 and continuing through 2004. EPA held nine public meetings 
    throughout the country during which the public submitted written and 
    verbal comments on issues of their concern. In 2000 through 2004, EPA 
    held meetings where invited stakeholders identified their issues and 
    concerns with the regulations.

    2686; 15 USC 2687
    
    Abstract: As part of a lawsuit settlement, EPA agreed to make several 
    revisions to the 2008 Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program 
    (RRP) rule that established accreditation, training, certification, and 
    recordkeeping requirements as well as work practice standards on 
    persons performing renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 
    housing and child-occupied facilities. In October of 2009, EPA proposed 
    amendments to the opt-out provision that currently exempts a renovator 
    from the training and work practice requirements of the rule when he or 
    she obtains a certification from the owner of a residence he or she 
    occupies that no child under age 6 or pregnant women resides in the 
    home and the home is not a child-occupied facility. EPA also proposed 
    revisions that involve renovation firms providing the owner with a copy 
    of the records they are currently required to maintain to demonstrate 
    compliance with the training and work practice requirements of the RRP 
    rule and, if different, providing the information to the occupant of 
    the building being renovated or the operator of the child-occupied 
    facility. In addition to the proposed amendments, EPA considered 
    various minor amendments to the regulations concerning training 
    provider accreditations, renovator certifications and State and Tribal 
    program requirements. In May, 2010, EPA published a final rule 
    eliminating the opt-out provision and finalizing the other provisions.

    456. EFFLUENT GUIDELINES AND STANDARDS FOR THE CENTRALIZED WASTE 
    TREATMENT INDUSTRY (SECTION 610 REVIEW)
    
    Legal Authority: 5 USC 610
    
    Abstract: In December 2000, EPA promulgated effluent limitations for 
    the Centralized Waste Treatment (CWT) Point Source Category at 40 CFR 
    437 (65 FR 81241, December 22, 2000). A CWT facility treats or recovers 
    hazardous or non-hazardous industrial waste, wastewater, or used 
    material from off-site. The regulation established wastewater discharge 
    standards for three major types of wastes: metal-bearing, oily, and 
    organic. EPA issued a Small Entity Compliance Guide, which provides 
    easy-to-read descriptions of the regulations and other helpful 
    information on how to comply such as a question and answer section.
    Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, on April 26, 
    2010, EPA initiated a review of the rule to determine if it should be 
    continued without change, or should be rescinded or amended to minimize 
    adverse economic impacts on small entities (75 FR 21882). As part of 
    this review, EPA is considering, and has solicited comments on, the 
    following factors: (1) the continued need for the rule; (2) the nature 
    of complaints or comments received concerning the rule; (3) the 
    complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, 
    duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government 
    rules; and (5) the degree to which technology, economic conditions, or 
    other factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. The 
    comment period closed July 31, 2010. The Docket ID number is EPA-HQ-OW-
    2010-0169. EPA will summarize the results of this review in a report 
    and place that report in the rulemaking docket referenced above. You 
    can access that docket at www.regulations.gov.
    EPA continues to view the effluent limitations for the CWT category as 
    a necessary component of the
    
    [[Page 79856]]
    
    comprehensive program to restore and maintain the quality of our 
    Nation's waters. EPA intends to continue to require compliance with the 
    regulation. Until and unless the Agency modifies the rule, the 
    discharges described in 40 CFR 437.1 remain subject to the final rules.

    ARSENIC AND CLARIFICATIONS TO COMPLIANCE AND NEW SOURCE CONTAMINANTS 
    MONITORING (SECTION 610 REVIEW)
    
    Legal Authority: 5 USC 610
    
    Abstract: On January 22, 2001, EPA revised the Maximum Contaminant 
    Level (MCL) for arsenic to 0.010 mg/L (10.0 [micro]g/L). This 
    regulation applies to non-transient non-community water systems and to 
    community water systems (66 FR 6976). While EPA has taken steps to 
    evaluate and mitigate impacts on small entities as part of the 
    promulgation of the Arsenic Rule, this new entry in the regulatory 
    agenda announces that EPA will review the National Primary Drinking 
    Water Rule (NPDWR) for arsenic pursuant to section 610 of the 
    Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610). As part of this review, EPA 
    will consider and solicit comments on the following factors: (1) The 
    continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments 
    received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the 
    extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other 
    Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which 
    the technology, economic conditions or other factors have changed in 
    the area affected by the rule. Comments must be received within 60 days

    459. NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS: RADON
    
    Legal Authority: 42 USC 300f, et seq
    
    Abstract: In 1999, EPA proposed regulations for radon which provide 
    flexibility in how to manage the health risks from radon in drinking 
    water. The proposal was based on the unique framework in the 1996 SDWA. 
    The proposed regulation would provide for either a maximum contaminant 
    level (MCL), or an alternative maximum contaminant level (AMCL) with a 
    multimedia mitigation (MMM) program to address radon in indoor air. 
    Under
    
    [[Page 79857]]
    
    the proposal, public water systems in States that adopted qualifying 
    MMM programs would be subject to the AMCL, while those in States that 
    did not adopt such programs would be subject to the MCL.

    460. NATIONAL PRIMARY DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS: RADIONUCLIDES 
    (COMPLETION OF A SECTION 610 REVIEW)
    
    Legal Authority: 5 USC 610
    
    Abstract: On December 7, 2000 (65 FR 76708), EPA promulgated final 
    revised and/or new national primary drinking water regulations (NPDWRs) 
    for nonradon radionuclides as authorized by the Safe Drinking Water Act 
    (SDWA). In this action, referred to as the Radionuclides Rule, EPA 
    promulgated maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs), maximum 
    contaminant levels (MCLs), monitoring, reporting, and public 
    notification requirements for gross alpha particle activity, combined 
    radium-226 and 228, beta particle and photon activity and uranium. The 
    Radionuclides Rule became effective on December 8, 2003.
    Pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, EPA has 
    reviewed this rule to determine if it should be continued without 
    change, or should be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic 
    impacts on small entities. This review was announced in the Regulatory 
    Agenda on April 26, 2010 (75 FR 21883). As part of this review, EPA 
    considered, and solicited comments on, the following factors: (1) The 
    continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments 
    received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the 
    extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other 
    Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which 
    technology, economic conditions, or other factors have changed in the 
    area affected by the rule.
    EPA received five comment letters. The results of EPA's review have 
    been summarized in a report and placed in the rulemaking docket (docket 
    number EPA-HQ-OW-2010- 0166 at www.regulations.gov). These results are 
    briefly summarized here.
    There was consensus among the commenters about the continued need for 
    the Radionuclides Rule, because it serves as an important tool to 
    protect the health of people who get their drinking water from public 
    systems using sources of water with high levels of radionuclides.
    While none of the commenters expressed a need to rescind the rule, most 
    of the comments were aimed at suggesting that the Agency make 
    clarifications in certain areas of the rule to aid small entities in 
    its rule compliance.
    After reviewing all the comments regarding this Section 610 review the 
    Agency has concluded that revisions or amendments to the Radionuclides 
    rule are not warranted at this time. However, EPA is evaluating the 
    need to provide additional guidance and clarification on those issues 
    raised by the commenters to assist in the rule implementation.
    The Agency bases its decision to not revise or amend the rule at this 
    time on the analysis conducted during the promulgation of the rule 
    which were aimed at reducing economic burden on small entities. Among 
    the measures that the Agency took to minimize impacts on small entities 
    are: (1) The selection of a less stringent MCL for uranium, (2) a 
    reduction in the overall monitoring frequencies for systems with 
    radionuclides levels less than the MCL, (3) allowance of grandfathered 
    data and State monitoring discretion for determining the initial 
    monitoring baseline, and (4) the exclusion of nontransient, non-
    community water systems from the radionuclides regulations.
    EPA will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of the Radionuclides 
    rule and the potential to decrease the rule's implementation burden 
    within the framework provided by the SDWA and other agency initiatives.
    EPA continues to view the NPDWRs for radionuclides as important to 
    ensure and protect the health of consumers served by public drinking 
    water systems and intends to continue to require compliance with these 
    NPDWRs.

Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act generally requires an assessment of anticipated costs and benefits if a rule includes a mandate that may result in expenditures of more than $100 million in any one year by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector. If we expect to exceed this $100 million threshold, we note it in this section.
