Formaldehyde, Polymer with 2-Methyloxirane and 4-Nonylphenol;
Tolerance Exemption
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of formaldehyde, polymer with 2-
methyloxirane and 4-nonylphenol (CAS Reg. No. 37523-33-4); when used as
an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation. Akzo Nobel
Surface Chemistry, LLC, submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to
establish a maximum permissible level for residues of formaldehyde,
polymer with 2-methyloxirane and 4-nonylphenol on food or feed
commodities.
DATES: This regulation is effective March 18, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before May 18, 2009, and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0794. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Aggregation
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to delay the effective date for the
Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') rule addressing
``aggregation'' under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(``PSD'') and the nonattainment New Source Review (``nonattainment
NSR'') programs (collectively, ``NSR'') published in the Federal
Register on January 15, 2009. This rule (the ``NSR Aggregation
Amendments'') described when a source must combine (``aggregate'')
nominally-separate physical changes and changes in the method of
operation for the purpose of determining whether they are a single
change resulting in a significant emissions increase.
On January 30, 2009, the Natural Resources Defense Council
(``NRDC'') submitted a petition for reconsideration (the ``NRDC
Petition'') of the NSR Aggregation Amendments. In response to the NRDC
Petition, EPA announced on February 13, 2009, that it would convene a
reconsideration proceeding for the NSR Aggregation Amendments and would
delay the effective date of the rule from February 17, 2009 until May
18, 2009. In this action, EPA is proposing an additional delay of the
effective date of the NSR Aggregation Amendments and soliciting comment
on the duration of this additional delay in order to allow for
sufficient time to conduct the reconsideration proceeding.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before April 17, 2009.
Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting a public hearing
by March 30, 2009, we will hold a public hearing on April 2, 2009. If a
hearing is held, the record for the hearing will remain open until May
4, 2009.
