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

Reconsideration of Interpretation of Regulations That Determine
Pollutants Covered by Clean Air Act Permitting Programs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final Action on Reconsideration of Interpretation.

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

SUMMARY: EPA has made a final decision to continue applying the
Agency's existing interpretation of a regulation that determines the
scope of pollutants subject to the Federal Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) program under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). In a
December 18, 2008 memorandum, EPA established an interpretation
clarifying the scope of the phrase ``subject to regulation'' found
within the definition of the term ``regulated NSR pollutant.'' After
considering comments on alternate interpretations of this term, EPA has
decided to continue to interpret it to include each pollutant subject
to either a provision in the CAA or regulation adopted by EPA under the
CAA that requires actual control of emissions of that pollutant. Thus,
this action explains that EPA will continue following the
interpretation in the December 18, 2008 memorandum with one exception.
EPA is refining its interpretation to establish that the PSD permitting
requirements will not apply to a newly regulated pollutant until a
regulatory requirement to control emissions of that pollutant ``takes
effect.'' In addition, this notice addresses several questions
regarding the applicability of the PSD and Title V permitting programs
to greenhouse gases (GHGs) upon the anticipated promulgation of EPA
regulations establishing limitations on emissions of GHGs from vehicles
under Title II of the CAA. Collectively, these conclusions result in an
EPA determination that PSD and Title V permitting requirements will not
apply to GHGs until at least January 2, 2011.

DATES: This final action is applicable as of March 29, 2010.

Proposed Significant New Use Rule for 1-Propene, 2,3,3,3-
tetrafluoro-

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the
chemical substance identified as 1-Propene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro- (CAS
No. 754-12-1) which was subject to premanufacture notice (PMN) P-07-
601. This proposed rule would require persons who intend to
manufacture, import, or process the substance for an activity that is
designated as a significant new use to notify EPA at least 90 days
before commencing that activity. The required notification would
provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if
necessary, to prohibit or limit the activity before it occurs.

amend portions of its existing standby and off mode battery charger
test procedure to shorten the measurement time. DOE is also considering
amending its existing active mode single-voltage external power supply
test procedure to permit testing of certain types of external power
supplies that the existing test procedure may be unable to test.
Additionally, DOE proposes to insert a new procedure to address
multiple-voltage external power supplies, which are not covered under
the current single-voltage external power supply test procedure.
Finally, DOE is announcing a public meeting to receive comment on the
issues presented in this notice of proposed rulemaking.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-255; NRC-2010-0127]

Entergy Nuclear Operations, LLC; Palisades Nuclear Plant;
Exemption

1.0 Background

    Entergy Nuclear Operations, LLC (ENO) (the licensee) is the holder
of Facility Operating License No. DPR-20, which authorizes operation of
Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP). The license provides, among other
things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and
orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission)
now or hereafter in effect.
    The facility consists of one pressurized-water reactor located in
Van Buren County, Michigan.

2.0 Request/Action

    Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 73,
``Physical protection of plants and materials,'' section 73.55,
``Requirements for physical protection of licensed activities in
nuclear power reactors against radiological sabotage,'' published March
27, 2009, effective May 26, 2009, with a full implementation date of
March 31, 2010, requires licensees to protect, with high assurance,
against radiological sabotage by designing and implementing
comprehensive site security programs. The amendments to
10 CFR 73.55 published on March 27, 2009, establish and update
generically applicable security requirements similar to those
previously imposed by Commission orders issued after the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, and implemented by licensees. In
addition, the amendments to 10 CFR 73.55 include additional
requirements to further enhance site security based upon insights
gained from implementation of the post-September 11, 2001, security
orders. It is from three of these new requirements that ENO now seeks
an exemption from the March 31, 2010, implementation date. All other
physical security requirements established by this recent rulemaking
have already been or will be implemented by the licensee by March 31,
2010.
    By letter dated January 14, 2010, (inadvertently dated January 14,
2009), as supplemented by letter dated February 16, 2010, the licensee
requested an exemption in accordance with 10 CFR 73.5, ``Specific
exemptions.'' The licensee's January 14, 2010, and February 16, 2010,
letters, have certain portions which contain security-related
information and, accordingly, are not available to the public. The
licensee has requested an exemption from the March 31, 2010, compliance
date stating that it must complete a number of significant
modifications to the current site security configuration before all
requirements can be met. Specifically, the request is to extend the
compliance date for three requirements that would be in place by August
31, 2010, versus the March 31, 2010, deadline. Being granted this
exemption for the three requirements would allow the licensee to
complete the modifications designed to update aging equipment and
incorporate state-of-the-art technology to meet or exceed the noted
regulatory requirements. . .

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions; Final Rule;
Stay

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this final action, EPA is issuing a stay for 18 months of
the inclusion of fugitive emissions requirements in the federal
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program published in the
Federal Register on December 19, 2008, in the final rule entitled,
``Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New
Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Fugitive Emissions''
(``Fugitive Emissions Rule''). The Fugitive Emissions Rule under the
federal PSD program requires that fugitive emissions be included in
determining whether a physical or operational change results in a major
modification only for sources in industries that have been designated
through rulemaking under section 302(j) of the Clean Air Act (Act or
CAA). The existing stay is in effect for 3 months; that is, from
December 31, 2009 until March 31, 2010. This action puts in place an
additional stay for 18 months, which we believe will allow for
sufficient time for EPA to propose, take public comment on, and issue a
final action concerning the inclusion of fugitive emissions in the
federal PSD program.

DATES: The amendments to 40 CFR parts 51 and 52 in this rule are
effective from April 1, 2010 through October 3, 2011. Effective April
1, 2010, the following Code of Federal Regulations sections are

the IRIS database. The purpose of the listening session is to allow all
interested parties to present scientific and technical comments on
draft IRIS health assessments to EPA and other interested parties
during the public comment period and before the peer review meeting.
EPA welcomes the comments that will be provided to the Agency by the
listening session participants. The comments will be considered by the
Agency as it revises the draft assessment in response to the
independent SAB peer review and the public comments. All presentations
submitted to EPA according to the instructions below will become part
of the official public record.
    EPA is releasing this draft assessment solely for the purpose of
pre-dissemination peer review under applicable information quality
guidelines. This assessment has not been formally disseminated by EPA.

the allotted time allows, then the time limit for each presentation
will be adjusted. A copy of the agenda for the listening session will
be available at the meeting. If no speakers have registered by May 4,
2010, the listening session will be cancelled, and EPA will notify
those registered of the cancellation.
    Listening session participants who want EPA to share their comments
with the external peer reviewers should also submit written comments
