Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases From Magnesium
Production, Underground Coal Mines, Industrial Wastewater Treatment,
and Industrial Waste Landfills
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating a regulation to require monitoring and
reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from magnesium production,
underground coal mines, industrial wastewater treatment, and industrial
waste landfills. This action adds these four source categories to the
list of source categories already required to report greenhouse gas
emissions. This action requires monitoring and reporting of greenhouse
gases for these source categories only for sources with carbon dioxide
equivalent emissions above certain threshold levels as described in
this regulation. This action does not require control of greenhouse
gases.
DATES: The final rule is effective on September 10, 2010. The
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule
is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of September 10,
2010.

Clean Water Act Section 312(b): Notice Seeking Stakeholder Input
on Petition and Other Request To Revise the Performance Standards for
Marine Sanitation Devices
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice of petition and other request for rulemaking; request
for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action notifies the public that the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA or ``the Agency'') has received a petition for
rulemaking from Friends of the Earth (FOE) and another separate request
for rulemaking under section 312 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). In
general these rulemaking-related requests ask EPA to revise its
regulations establishing performance standards for vessel sewage
treatment devices under the CWA. The rulemaking petition from FOE also
requests that EPA establish monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements under the CWA to ensure compliance with the performance
standards. EPA has not made a decision on whether to grant or deny the
rulemaking requests, nor is the Agency proposing any changes to the
performance standards or other provisions of its regulations at this
time. Rather, the purpose of today's Notice is simply to make the
public aware of the issues raised in the requests for rulemaking and to
obtain the public's input, in the form of comment and relevant
information, to help EPA determine appropriate action in response to
each of these requests. In particular, EPA seeks input regarding: The
universe of vessels operating on navigable waters that use sewage
treatment devices; technical information on the performance,
effectiveness and costs of vessel sewage treatment devices, including
performance testing data; suggestions on what, if any, changes to the
performance standards might be appropriate; and information on
monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting approaches for vessel sewage
discharges.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 9, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
