Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule--Proposed Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; compliance date amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency)
is proposing to amend the date by which certain facilities must prepare
or amend their Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC)
Plans, and implement those Plans. This action would allow additional
time for those affected in the regulated community to understand the
revisions to the SPCC rule finalized in December 2008 and November
2009. In light of the recent uncertainty surrounding EPA's review of
the final amendments to the December 2008 rule and the delay of that
rule's effective date, the Agency is proposing to provide an additional
year for certain facilities, with a new compliance date of November 10,
2011. Additionally, the Agency is proposing to further delay the
compliance date for facilities with milk containers, associated piping
and appurtenances that are constructed according to the current
applicable 3-A Sanitary Standards, and subject to the current
applicable Grade ``A'' Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) or a State
dairy regulatory requirement equivalent to the current applicable PMO.
The delay would allow the Agency to take final action on a January 15,
2009 action that proposed to exempt these containers from the SPCC
requirements. The compliance date would be delayed one year from the
effective date of a final rule specifically addressing SPCC
requirements for these milk containers, associated piping and
appurtenances, or as specified by a rule that otherwise establishes a
new compliance date for these facilities. Both the extension and the
delay would provide sufficient time for facilities to undertake the
actions necessary to prepare or amend their SPCC Plans, as well as
implement them. However, EPA is not proposing to extend the compliance
date for drilling, production and workover facilities that are offshore
or that have an offshore component, or for onshore facilities required
to submit Facility Response Plans (FRPs).

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received by August 18,
2010.

Federal Implementation Plans To Reduce Interstate Transport of
Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to limit the interstate transport of
emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulfur dioxide
(SO2). In this action, EPA is proposing to both identify and
limit emissions within 32 states in the eastern United States that
affect the ability of downwind states to attain and maintain compliance
with the 1997 and 2006 fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and the 1997 ozone
NAAQS. EPA is proposing to limit these emissions through Federal
Implementation Plans (FIPs) that regulate electric generating units
(EGUs) in the 32 states. This action will substantially reduce the
impact of transported emissions on downwind states. In conjunction with
other federal and state actions, it helps assure that all but a handful
of areas in the eastern part of the country will be in compliance with
the current ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS by 2014 or earlier. To the
extent the proposed FIPs do not fully address all significant
transport, EPA is committed to assuring that any additional reductions
needed are addressed quickly. EPA takes comments on ways this proposal
could achieve additional NOX reductions and additional
actions including other rulemakings that EPA could undertake to achieve
any additional reductions needed.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before October 1,
2010.
    Public Hearing: Three public hearings will be held before the end
of the comment period. The dates, times and locations will be announced
separately. Please refer to SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for additional
information on the comment period and the public hearings.

potential rulemaking for reprocessing facilities. Members of the public
are invited to provide written
comments on the issues presented in this notice and to attend the
workshops to provide feedback on the issues associated with the
development of a regulatory basis for a potential rulemaking. The
public workshops will be held in Rockville, Maryland on September 7-8,

DATES: Members of the public may provide feedback at the transcribed
