National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Drinking Water
Regulations for Aircraft Public Water Systems
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is establishing Federal
drinking water requirements (known as national primary drinking water
regulations or NPDWRs) for aircraft public water systems (hereafter,
aircraft water systems) under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
Federal drinking water standards were primarily designed to regulate
water quality in stationary public water systems, and the application
of these requirements to mobile water systems with the capability of
flying throughout the world has created implementation challenges. This
final rule's requirements are intended to tailor existing health-based
drinking water standards to the unique characteristics of aircraft
water systems for the enhanced protection of public health against
illnesses attributable to microbiological contamination. EPA believes
that this approach will better protect public health while building
upon existing aircraft operations and maintenance programs, better
coordinate Federal programs that regulate aircraft water systems, and
minimize disruptions of aircraft flight schedules.
DATES: This rule is effective November 18, 2009. For judicial review
purposes, this final rule is promulgated as of October 19, 2009.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OW-2005-0025. All documents in the docket are listed on the
http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some

Subject: AIR - PR. EPA. Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: New Substitute in the Motor Vehicle Air Conditioning Sector Under the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: New Substitute in the Motor
Vehicle Air Conditioning Sector Under the Significant New Alternatives
Policy (SNAP) Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Clean Air Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) to review alternatives for ozone-depleting substances and to
approve of substitutes that do not present a risk more significant than
other alternatives that are available. Under that authority, the
Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program of EPA proposes to
expand the list of acceptable substitutes for ozone-depleting
substances (ODS). The substitute addressed in this proposal is for the
motor vehicle air conditioning (MVAC) end-use within the refrigeration
and air-conditioning sector. EPA proposes to find HFO-1234yf
acceptable, subject to use conditions as a substitute for CFC-12 in
motor vehicle air conditioning. The proposed substitute is a non ozone-
depleting gas and consequently does not contribute to stratospheric
ozone depletion.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 18, 2009, unless
a public hearing is requested. Comments must then be received on or
before January 4, 2010. Any party requesting a public hearing must
notify the contact listed below under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
by 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on October 29, 2009. If a hearing is
held, it will take place on November 3, 2009.

Construction Activities
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA Regions 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 today are proposing
for public comment a modification to the 2008 National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permits for stormwater
discharges associated with construction activity in order to extend by
one-year the expiration date of the permit. Hereinafter, these NPDES
general permits will be referred to as ``permit'' or ``2008
construction general permit'' or ``2008 CGP.'' The 2008 CGP was
originally issued for a period not to exceed two (2) years. Today, EPA
proposes to modify the CGP in order to extend the 2 year term of the
2008 CGP by one year so that it expires on June 30, 2011, instead of
June 30, 2010. If EPA finalizes this action, the 2008 CGP will be in
effect for a period of three (3) years. By Federal law, no NPDES permit
may be issued for a period that exceeds five (5) years.
DATES: Comments on EPA's proposal, including the draft permit, must be
postmarked by November 18, 2009. If finalized as proposed, EPA would be
extending the expiration date of the 2008 CGP until midnight June 30,
2011.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically, by mail, or
through hand delivery/courier. To send comments directly to the docket
