National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Area
Source Standards for Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing;
Amendments
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on amendments to the paints
and allied products manufacturing area source rule. With this direct
final rule, EPA is amending the definition of ``material containing
hazardous air pollutants.'' It was not EPA's intent to omit the part of
this definition that addresses non-carcinogens, and this omission could
potentially and erroneously include facilities as applicable to the
rule when they should not be covered.
This action clarifies text of the National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants: Paints and Allied Products Manufacturing Area
Source Standards which was published on December 3, 2009. This action
will not change the level of health protection the final rule provides
or the standards and other requirements established by the rule.
DATES: This direct final rule is effective on September 16, 2010
without further notice, unless EPA receives relevant adverse comment by
July 19, 2010. If EPA receives relevant adverse comment, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the
public that the amendments in this rule will not take effect.

Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse
Gas Tailoring Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is tailoring the applicability criteria that determine
which stationary sources and modification projects become subject to
permitting requirements for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V programs of
the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). This rulemaking is necessary because
without it PSD and title V requirements would apply, as of January 2,
2011, at the 100 or 250 tons per year (tpy) levels provided under the
CAA, greatly increasing the number of required permits, imposing undue
costs on small sources, overwhelming the resources of permitting
authorities, and severely impairing the functioning of the programs.
EPA is relieving these resource burdens by phasing in the applicability
of these programs to GHG sources, starting with the largest GHG
emitters. This rule establishes two initial steps of the phase-in. The
rule also commits the agency to take certain actions on future steps
addressing smaller sources, but excludes certain smaller sources from
PSD and title V permitting for GHG emissions until at least April 30,
2016.
DATES: This action is effective on August 2, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this rulemaking under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0517. 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 or other information whose disclosure is
