Electric Utilities
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Announcement of public hearings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 21, 2010, EPA proposed to regulate the disposal of
coal combustion residuals generated from the combustion of coal at
electric utilities and by independent power producers. Given the
significant public interest in this proposed rule and to further public
participation opportunities, EPA is announcing five public hearings to
be held in cities across the United States. The hearings will provide
the public with an opportunity to present data, views or arguments
concerning the proposed rule. The public hearings will take place in
Arlington, Virginia; Denver, Colorado; Dallas, Texas; Charlotte, North
Carolina; and Chicago, Illinois.
DATES: A public hearing will be conducted in Arlington, Virginia, on
August 30, 2010; Denver, Colorado, on
September 2, 2010; Dallas, Texas, on September 8, 2010; Charlotte,
North Carolina, on September 14, 2010; and Chicago, Illinois, on
September 16, 2010. Persons who wish to present oral testimony at one
or more of the public hearings must preregister at least three business
days prior to the hearing. The last day to preregister will be August
25, 2010, for the Arlington, Virginia, public hearing; August 30, 2010,
for the Denver, Colorado, public hearing; September 2, 2010, for the
Dallas, Texas, public hearing; September 9, 2010, for the Charlotte,
North Carolina, public hearing; and September 13, 2010, for the
Chicago, Illinois, public hearing. The preregistration cut-off time is
5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on the final day of preregistration
for the five public hearings. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for
information on how to register.

Subject: AIR, TOXICS, CLIMATE - ND. EPA. Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Request for Methyl Bromide Critical Use Exemption Applications for 2013; Notice of solicitation of applications and information on alternatives

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Request for Methyl Bromide
Critical Use Exemption Applications for 2013
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of solicitation of applications and information on
alternatives.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is soliciting applications for the critical use exemption
from the phaseout of methyl bromide for 2013. Critical use exemptions
last only one year. All entities interested in obtaining a critical use
exemption for 2013 must provide EPA with technical and economic
information to support a ``critical use'' claim and must do so by the
deadline specified in this notice even if they have applied for an
exemption in a previous year. Today's notice also invites interested
parties to provide EPA with new data on the technical and economic
feasibility of methyl bromide alternatives. The U.S. critical use
exemption program has cushioned the U.S. transition in an important
way. Thus far, EPA has allocated critical use methyl bromide through
rulemaking for each of the six years (2005-2010) since the U.S.
phaseout, and plans to do so for another four years (2011-2014).
Critical use nominations must be approved each year at the
international level by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, and the
U.S. is one of five remaining developed countries requesting such
exemptions; several of these countries have announced final dates for
all or part of their requests in the years between now and 2015, the
year that developing countries are required to phase out methyl
bromide. While EPA with this notice is seeking applications for 2013
and will likely request applications for 2014, EPA believes it is
appropriate at this time to consider a year in which the Agency will
stop requesting applications for critical use exemptions. EPA will seek
comment on this issue in the proposed rule for the 2011 critical use
exemption.
DATES: Applications for the 2013 critical use exemption must be
postmarked on or before September 13, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA encourages users to submit their applications
electronically to Jeremy Arling, Stratospheric Protection Division, at
arling.jeremy@epa.gov. If the application is submitted electronically,
applicants must fax a signed copy of Worksheet 1 to 202-343-9055 by the
application deadline. Applications for the methyl bromide critical use
exemption can also be submitted by mail to: U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation, Stratospheric
Protection Division, Attention Methyl Bromide Team, Mail Code 6205J,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave, NW., Washington, DC 20460 or by courier delivery
(other than U.S. Post Office overnight) to: U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation, Stratospheric
