ANNOUNCEMENT 1


Subject: AIR - PR. EPA. Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5); Proposal To Extend Administrative Stay

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0062: FRL-8934-3]
RIN 2060-AP65

Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for
Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5);
Proposal To Extend Administrative Stay

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to extend for an additional nine months
the existing administrative stay of the ``grandfathering'' provision
for particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5)
requirements in the Federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD) program published in the Federal Register on May 16, 2008 as part
of the final rule entitled, ``Implementation of the New Source Review
(NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers
(PM2.5).'' The grandfathering provision under the Federal
PSD program allows the permitting authority to review PSD permit
applications received before July 15, 2008 according to EPA's 1997
policy of satisfying the requirements for particulate matter less than
10 micrometers (PM10) as a surrogate for meeting the new
requirements for PM2.5.
    The existing administrative stay is in effect for three months;
that is, from June 1, 2009 until September 1, 2009. This action
proposes to extend the existing administrative stay by an additional
nine months, which we believe will allow for sufficient time for EPA to
propose, take public comment on, and issue a final action concerning
the repeal of the grandfathering provision for PM2.5 in the
Federal PSD program.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 24, 2009.
    Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting the opportunity
to speak at a public hearing concerning the proposed regulation by
August 3, 2009, we will hold a public hearing on August 7, 2009. If a
hearing is held, the record for the hearing will remain open until
September 8, 2009.

Subject: ENERGY, SOLID, HAZ - PR. EPA. Waste Energy Recovery Registry
 
[Federal Register: July 23, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 140)]

RIN 2060--AP14

Waste Energy Recovery Registry

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to establish the criteria for including
sources or sites in a Registry of Recoverable Waste Energy Sources
(Registry), as required under Title IV, Subtitle D of the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007. The Agency is also proposing the
Survey processes by which EPA will collect data and populate the
Registry. The rule would apply to major industrial and large commercial
sources as defined by EPA in this rulemaking. This proposed rule would
not require the installation of new monitoring equipment; rather it
would require only that sources above certain threshold levels that
wish to be included in the Registry enter specific already-monitored
data points into the voluntary Survey, which is a software tool that
will calculate the quantity and quality of potentially recoverable
waste energy.

DATES: The public may comment on this proposed rule until September 21,
2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2008-0201, by one of the following methods:
