Revisions to the General Conformity Regulations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is revising its regulations relating to the Clean Air
Act (CAA) requirement that Federal actions conform to the appropriate
State, tribal or Federal implementation plan (SIP, TIP, or FIP) for
attaining clean air (``General Conformity''). EPA and other Federal
agencies have gained experience with the implementation of the existing
regulations, which were promulgated in 1993 (and underwent minor
revisions in 2006), and have identified several issues with their
implementation. In addition, in 2004, EPA issued regulations to
implement the revised ozone national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS) and in 2007 issued regulations to implement the new fine
particulate matter standard. State and other air quality agencies are
in the process of developing revised plans to attain the new standards
and the revisions to the General Conformity Regulations will be helpful
to the State, Tribe, and local agencies in developing, and Federal
agencies in commenting, on the proposed SIPs revisions. This rule
revision will also facilitate Federal agency compliance with conforming
its activities to the SIPs thereby preventing violations of the NAAQS.
This rule revision provides for a timely and effective process for
Federal agencies and States and Tribes to ensure Federal activities are
incorporated in these SIPs. Where that is not possible, it provides an
efficient and effective process for Federal agencies to ensure their
actions do not cause or contribute to a violation of the NAAQS or
interfere with the purpose of a SIP, TIP or FIP to attain or maintain
the NAAQS.
DATES: This action is effective on July 6, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this rulemaking under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0669. All documents in the docket are
listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the
index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is

(SNOPR) proposes an integrated efficiency descriptor that incorporates
standby mode and off mode energy consumption into the statutorily
identified efficiency descriptor, Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency
(AFUE).

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
availability of five documents related to FDA's continuing assessment
of Bisphenol A (BPA) and soliciting public comments on the four
documents prepared by FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied
Nutrition (CFSAN). These documents do not represent an agency opinion
or position on BPA, on which an interim update was recently provided.
(See http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/PublicHealthFocus/ucm064437.htm).
Rather, these documents provide perspectives and opinions that are
being considered by FDA as it continues its safety assessment of BPA.
This action will enable FDA to consider comments from the public in its
assessment of BPA for food contact applications.
DATES: Submit written or electronic information and comments by June 4,
2010.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written comments to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
