Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Sulfur Dioxide
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Based on its review of the air quality criteria for oxides of
sulfur and the primary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
for oxides of sulfur as measured by sulfur dioxide (SO2 ),
EPA is revising the primary SO2 NAAQS to provide requisite
protection of public health with an adequate margin of safety.
Specifically, EPA is establishing a new 1-hour SO2 standard
at a level of 75 parts per billion (ppb), based on the 3-year average
of the annual 99th percentile of 1-hour daily maximum concentrations.
The EPA is also revoking both the existing 24-hour and annual primary
SO2 standards.
DATES: This final rule is effective on August 23, 2010.

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), U.S.

ACTION: Notice of a determination of inapplicability (waiver).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is providing notice of a
determination of inapplicability (waiver) of the American Reinvestment
and Recovery Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) to EERE-funded projects for
non-residential programmable thermostats; commercial scale fully-
automatic wood pellet boiler systems; facility and small district wood
pellet and chip boiler furnaces; variable refrigerant flow zoning and
inverter-driven ductless mini-split HVAC systems; electrical ``smart''
strips/surge protectors; gas or propane tankless water heaters up to

(additional technical information for these items is detailed below).
DOE is also providing notice of a determination that the

project; that is, any such incidental items up to a limit of no more
than 5 percent of the total cost of the iron, steel, and manufactured
