Performance Specification 16 for Predictive Emissions Monitoring
Systems and Amendments to Testing and Monitoring Provisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to promulgate Performance
Specification (PS) 16 for predictive emissions monitoring systems
(PEMS). Performance Specification 16 provides testing requirements for
assessing the acceptability of PEMS when they are initially installed.
Currently, there are no Federal rules requiring the use of PEMS;
however, some sources have obtained Administrator approval to use PEMS
as alternatives to continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS).
Other sources may desire to use PEMS in cases where initial and
operational costs are less than CEMS and process optimization for
emissions control may be desirable. Performance Specification 16 will
apply to any PEMS required in future rules in 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, or
63, and in cases where a source petitions the Administrator and
receives approval to use a PEMS in lieu of another emissions monitoring
system required under the regulation. We are also finalizing minor
technical amendments.
DATES: This final rule is effective on April 24, 2009.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0074. All documents in the docket are listed on the
http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some

Methods for Measurement of Filterable PM10 and
PM2.5 and Measurement of Condensable Particulate Matter
Emissions From Stationary Sources
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes amendments to Methods 201A and 202. The
proposed amendments to Method 201A would add a particle-sizing device
to allow for sampling of particulate matter (PM) with mean aerodynamic
diameters less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers ([mu]m)
(PM2.5 or fine PM). The proposed amendments to Method 202
would revise the sample collection and recovery procedures of the
method to reduce the formation of reaction artifacts that could lead to
inaccurate measurements of condensable particulate matter (CPM).
Additionally, the proposed amendments to Method 202 would eliminate
most of the hardware and analytical options in the existing method,
thereby increasing the precision of the method and improving the
consistency in the measurements obtained between source tests performed
under different regulatory authorities. Finally, in this notice we are
soliciting comments on whether to end the transition period for CPM in
the New Source Review (NSR) program on a date earlier than the current
end date of January 1, 2011. The proposed amendments would improve the
measurement of fine particulates and would help State and local
agencies in implementing CPM control measures to attain the
PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) which
were established to protect public health and welfare.

Public Hearings for the Mandatory Reporting Rule for Greenhouse
Gases
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Announcement of public hearings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing two public hearings to be held for the
proposed rule ``Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases,'' which will
be published separately in the Federal Register. One hearing will be
held in Arlington, Virginia (which is in the Washington, DC, area) on
April 6 and 7, 2009. The other hearing will be held in Sacramento,
California, on April 16, 2009.
In a separate notice of proposed rulemaking, EPA is proposing a
regulation to require reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from all
sectors of the economy. The rule would apply to fossil fuel suppliers
and industrial gas suppliers, as well as to direct greenhouse gas
emitters. The proposed rule does not require control of greenhouse
gases, rather it requires only that sources above certain threshold
levels monitor and report emissions. The signed notice of proposed
rulemaking was posted on the EPA Web site prior to publication in the
Federal Register, and contained the same public hearing dates presented
in this announcement.
DATES: There will be two public hearings. One hearing will be held on
April 6 and 7, 2009 in Arlington, VA. The other hearing will be on
April 16, 2009 in Sacramento, CA. To obtain information about the
public hearings or to register to speak at the hearings, please go to:
http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissionsghgrulemaking.html.
Alternatively, contact Carole Cook at 202-343-9263.
ADDRESSES: The hearings will be held at the following locations:
1. Arlington: One Potomac Yard, 2777 S. Crystal Drive, Arlington,
VA 22202.
2. Sacramento: Sacramento Convention Center, 1400 J Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814.
Written comments on the proposed rule may also be submitted to EPA
electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or
through hand delivery/courier. Please refer to the notice of proposed
rulemaking for the addresses and detailed instructions for submitting
written comments.
When the proposed rule is published in the Federal Register, a
complete set of documents related to the proposal will be available for
public inspection at the EPA Docket Center, located at 1301
Constitution Avenue, NW., Room 3334, Washington, DC between 8:30 a.m.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of document availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing
the availability of the final document The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's Strategic Plan for Evaluating the Toxicity of
Chemicals (EPA 100/K-09/001). The purpose of the Strategic Plan is to
serve as a blueprint for EPA in incorporating advances in molecular
biology and computational sciences into toxicity testing and risk
assessment practices across the Agency. The Strategic Plan is centered
on three interrelated components: (1) Toxicity pathways identification
and use of this information in screening and prioritization of
chemicals for further testing, (2) the use of toxicity pathways
information in risk assessment, and (3) the institutional transition
necessary to implement such practices across EPA. This Strategic Plan
describes an ambitious and substantive improvement in the efficiency
and effectiveness of the process by which environmental pollutants are
evaluated for toxicity and risk. A workgroup of EPA's Science Policy
Council oversaw the development of this document, incorporating input
obtained from an external peer review.
ADDRESSES: The final document is available electronically through the
EPA Office of the Science Advisor's Web site at: http://www.epa.gov/
osa/spc/toxicitytesting/. A limited number of paper copies will be
available from EPA's National Service Center for Environmental
Publications (NSCEP), P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, OH 45242; telephone

Weatherization Assistance Program for Low-Income Persons
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is expanding the
definition of ``State'' under the Weatherization Assistance Program for
Low-Income Persons and amending the financial assistance allocation
procedure to reflect the expanded definition. The Energy Independence
and Security Act of 2007 amended the Weatherization Assistance Program
definition of ``State'' to include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and
the other territories and possessions of the United States. Consistent
with the statutory amendment, DOE is amending the regulatory definition
of ``State,'' and amending the allocation procedure relied on to
calculate the amount of financial assistance received by each State so
as to include American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
Further, DOE is amending the Weatherization Assistance Program
regulations consistent with recent statutory amendments in the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
DATES: This final rule is effective March 25, 2009, and applicable on
March 12, 2009.
