National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing national emission standards for the control of
hazardous air pollutants for nine area source categories in the
chemical manufacturing sector: Agricultural Chemicals and Pesticides
Manufacturing, Cyclic Crude and Intermediate Production, Industrial
Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, Industrial Organic Chemical
Manufacturing, Inorganic Pigments Manufacturing, Miscellaneous Organic
Chemical Manufacturing, Plastic Materials and Resins Manufacturing,
Pharmaceutical Production, and Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing. The
standards and associated requirements for the nine area source
categories are combined in one subpart. This final rule establishes
emission standards in the form of management practices for each
chemical manufacturing process unit as well as emission limits for
certain subcategories of process vents and storage tanks. The rule also
establishes management practices and other emission reduction
requirements for subcategories of wastewater systems and heat exchange
systems.

DATES: This final rule is effective on October 29, 2009.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0334. All documents in the docket are listed in the
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some

Lead; Amendment to the Opt-out and Recordkeeping Provisions in
the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY:  EPA is proposing several revisions to the Lead Renovation,
Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that published in the Federal
Register on April 22, 2008. The rule establishes 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 this
document, EPA is proposing to eliminate the ``opt-out'' provision that
currently exempts a renovation firm from the training and work practice
requirements of the rule where the firm 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 is also proposing to require renovation firms to
provide a copy of the records demonstrating compliance with the
training and work practice requirements of the RRP rule to the owner
and, if different, the occupant of the building being renovated or the
operator of the child-occupied facility.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 27, 2009.

SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology, on behalf
of its contractor, EnerNex Corp., seeks nominations for members to
serve on an initial Smart Grid Interoperability Panel Governing Board
(SGIPGB), which will consist of approximately 27 voting members.
EnerNex Corp. was competitively selected to help NIST establish and
administer the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) and its
Governing Board, which will identify, prioritize and address new and
emerging requirements for Smart Grid interoperability and security.
    Approximately 22 members of the SGIP Governing Board will be
elected by stakeholder categories as listed in the draft SGIP Charter
and Bylaws, which are posted on the Internet at: http://
collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/SGIP
. Three SGIPGB
members will be at-large members, and two will be the chairs of two
SGIP Committees. The SGIPGB will also have several ex officio, non-
voting members who will not be elected. All seats are open, and
candidates are sought from each stakeholder category, as well as for
the at-large positions.
    NIST and EnerNex Corp. also request comments on the SGIP draft
Charter and Bylaws, which are posted on the Internet at the Web site
given above. Comments on this document can be made directly to the
document's online comment section.

DATES: Nominations for the SGIPGB must be received on or before

Board. Nominations received after that date will be considered for any
positions for which nominations were not received by November 6, 2009,
and for vacancies that may occur prior to the next call for candidates.
    Comments on the SGIP Charter and Bylaws received before Nov. 6,
