SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
EPA is committed to a regulatory strategy that effectively achieves
the Agency's mission of protecting the environment and the health,
welfare, and safety of Americans while also supporting economic growth,
job creation, competitiveness, and innovation. EPA publishes the
Semiannual Regulatory Agenda to update the public about regulatory
activity undertaken in support of this mission. Within the Semiannual
Regulatory Agenda, EPA provides notice of our plans to review, propose,
and issue regulations.
In 2016, EPA is also reviewing its Final Plan for Periodic
Retrospective Reviews of Existing Regulations, which was issued in
2011. Under Executive Order 13563, EPA committed to periodically review
existing regulations to determine whether any may be modified,
streamlined, expanded, or repealed in order to make the agency's
regulatory program more effective or less burdensome in achieving our
regulatory objectives. Consistent with our 2011 plan, EPA is again
soliciting comments on regulations that might be appropriate for
retrospective review.
EPA's Semiannual Regulatory Agenda also includes information about
rules that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities, and review of those regulations under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended.
Within this document, EPA explains in greater detail the types of
actions and information available in the Semiannual Regulatory Agenda,
the opportunity to suggest regulations that may be appropriate for
retrospective review, and actions that are currently undergoing review
specifically for impacts on small entities.
A. EPA's Regulatory Information
``E-Agenda,'' ``online regulatory agenda,'' and ``semiannual
regulatory agenda'' all refer to the same comprehensive collection of
information that, until 2007, was published in the Federal Register but
now is only available through an online database, at both
www.reginfo.gov/ and www.regulations.gov.
``Regulatory Flexibility Agenda'' refers to a document that
contains information about regulations that may have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small entities. We continue to
publish it in the Federal Register pursuant to the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980. This document is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/search/home.action.
``Unified Regulatory Agenda'' refers to the collection of all
agencies' agendas with an introduction prepared by the Regulatory
Information Service Center facilitated by the General Service
Administration.
``Regulatory Agenda Preamble'' refers to the document you are
reading now. It appears as part of the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda
and introduces both the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda and the e-Agenda.
``Regulatory Development and Retrospective Review Tracker'' refers
to an online portal to EPA's priority rules and retrospective reviews
of existing regulations. This portal is available at www.epa.gov/regdarrt/.
``Retrospective Review Plan'' is EPA's plan under Executive Orders
13563 and 13610 to periodically review existing regulations to
determine whether any may be modified, streamlined, expanded, or
repealed in order to make the agency's regulatory program more
effective or less burdensome in achieving the regulatory objectives.
This Plan and subsequent progress updates are available at https://
www.epa.gov/
[[Page 37375]]
laws-regulations/retrospective-review-history.
``610 Review'' is an action EPA is committed to reviewing within
ten years of promulgating a final rule that has or may have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
EPA maintains a list of these actions at https://www.epa.gov/reg-flex/section-610-reviews.
B. What key statutes and Executive Orders guide EPA's rule and
policymaking process?
A number of environmental laws authorize EPA's actions, including
but not limited to:
Clean Air Act (CAA),
Clean Water Act (CWA),
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA, or Superfund),
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA),
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA),
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), and
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Not only must EPA comply with environmental laws, but also
administrative legal requirements that apply to the issuance of
regulations, such as: The Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) as amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA), the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA), the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA), and the Congressional
Review Act (CRA).
EPA also meets a number of requirements contained in numerous
Executive Orders: 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR
51735, Oct. 4, 1993), as supplemented by Executive Order 13563,
``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'' (76 FR 3821, Jan. 21,
2011); 12898, ``Environmental Justice'' (59 FR 7629, Feb. 16, 1994);
13045, ``Children's Health Protection'' (62 FR 19885, Apr. 23, 1997);
13132, ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, Aug. 10, 1999); 13175,
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, Nov. 9, 2000); 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001).
In addition to meeting its mission goals and priorities, EPA
reviews its existing regulations under Executive Order 13563,
``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'' and Executive Order
13610, ``Identifying and Reducing Regulatory Burdens.'' These Executive
Orders provide for periodic retrospective review of existing
regulations and are intended to determine whether any such regulations
should be modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed, so as to make
the Agency's regulatory program more effective or less burdensome in
achieving its regulatory objectives.
C. How can you be involved in EPA's rule and policymaking process?
You can make your voice heard by getting in touch with the contact
person provided in each agenda entry. EPA encourages you to participate
as early in the process as possible. You may also participate by
commenting on proposed rules published in the Federal Register (FR).
Instructions on how to submit your comments are provided in each
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). To be most effective, comments
should contain information and data that support your position and you
also should explain why EPA should incorporate your suggestion in the
rule or other type of action. You can be particularly helpful and
persuasive if you provide examples to illustrate your concerns and
offer specific alternatives.
EPA believes its actions will be more cost effective and protective
if the development process includes stakeholders working with us to
help identify the most practical and effective solutions to problems.
EPA encourages you to become involved in its rule and policymaking
process. For more information about public involvement in EPA
activities, please visit www.epa.gov/open.
II. Semiannual Regulatory Agenda
A. What actions are included in the E-Agenda and the Regulatory
Flexibility Agenda?
EPA includes regulations in the e-Agenda. However, there is no
legal significance to the omission of an item from the agenda, and EPA
generally does not include the following categories of actions:
Administrative actions such as delegations of authority,
changes of address, or phone numbers;
Under the CAA: Revisions to State implementation plans;
equivalent methods for ambient air quality monitoring; deletions from
the new source performance standards source categories list;
delegations of authority to States; area designations for air quality
planning purposes;
Under FIFRA: Registration-related decisions, actions
affecting the status of currently registered pesticides, and data call-
ins;
Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act: Actions
regarding pesticide tolerances and food additive regulations;
Under RCRA: Authorization of State solid waste management
plans; hazardous waste delisting petitions;
Under the CWA: State Water Quality Standards; deletions
from the section 307(a) list of toxic pollutants; suspensions of toxic
testing requirements under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES); delegations of NPDES authority to States;
Under SDWA: Actions on State underground injection control
programs.
Meanwhile, the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda includes:
Actions likely to have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
Rules the Agency has identified for periodic review under
section 610 of the RFA.
EPA is initiating two 610 reviews at this time and completing one
610 review.
B. How is the E-Agenda organized?
You can choose how to organize the agenda entries online by
specifying the characteristics of the entries of interest in the
desired individual data fields for both the www.reginfo.gov and
www.regulations.gov versions of the e-Agenda. You can sort based on the
following characteristics: EPA subagency; stage of rulemaking, which is
explained below; alphabetically by title; and by the Regulation
Identifier Number (RIN), which is assigned sequentially when an action
is added to the agenda.
Each entry in the Agenda is associated with one of five rulemaking
stages. The rulemaking stages are:
1. Prerule Stage--This section includes EPA actions generally
intended to determine whether the agency should initiate rulemaking.
Prerulemakings may include anything that influences or leads to
rulemaking, such as Advance Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRMs),
studies, or analyses of the possible need for regulatory action.
2. Proposed Rule Stage--This section includes EPA rulemaking
actions that are within a year of proposal (publication of Notices of
Proposed Rulemakings [NPRMs]).
[[Page 37376]]
3. Final Rule Stage--This section includes rules that will be
issued as a final rule within a year.
4. Long-Term Actions--This section includes rulemakings for which
the next scheduled regulatory action is after April 2017. We urge you
to explore becoming involved even if an action is listed in the Long-
Term category.
5. Completed Actions--This section contains actions that have been
promulgated and published in the Federal Register since publication of
the fall 2015 Agenda. It also includes actions that EPA is no longer
considering and has elected to ``withdraw.'' EPA also announces the
results of any RFA section 610 review in this section of the agenda.
C. What information is in the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda and the E-
Agenda?
The Regulatory Flexibility Agenda entries include only the nine
categories of information that are required by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980 and by Federal Register Agenda printing
requirements: Sequence Number, RIN, Title, Description, Statutory
Authority, Section 610 Review, if applicable, Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis Required, Schedule, and Contact Person. Note that the
electronic version of the Agenda (e-Agenda) has more extensive
information on each of these actions.
E-Agenda entries include:
Title: A brief description of the subject of the regulation. The
notation ``Section 610 Review'' follows the title if we are reviewing
the rule as part of our periodic review of existing rules under section
610 of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 610).
Priority: Entries are placed into one of five categories described
below.
a. Economically Significant: Under Executive Order 12866, a
rulemaking that may have an annual effect on the economy of $100
million or more, or adversely affect in a material way the economy, a
sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal
governments or communities.
b. Other Significant: A rulemaking that is not economically
significant but is considered significant for other reasons. This
category includes rules that may:
1. Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
2. Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs, or the rights and obligations of
recipients; or
3. Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles in Executive
Order 12866.
c. Substantive, Nonsignificant: A rulemaking that has substantive
impacts but is not Significant, Routine and Frequent, or Informational/
Administrative/Other.
d. Routine and Frequent: A rulemaking that is a specific case of a
recurring application of a regulatory program in the Code of Federal
Regulations (e.g., certain State Implementation Plans, National
Priority List updates, Significant New Use Rules, State Hazardous Waste
Management Program actions, and Tolerance Exemptions). If an action
that would normally be classified Routine and Frequent is reviewed by
the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866, then
we would classify the action as either ``Economically Significant'' or
``Other Significant.''
e. Informational/Administrative/Other: An action that is primarily
informational or pertains to an action outside the scope of Executive
Order 12866.
Major: A rule is ``major'' under 5 U.S.C. 801 if it has resulted or
is likely to result in an annual effect on the economy of $100 million
or more or meets other criteria specified in that Act.
Unfunded Mandates: Whether the rule is covered by section 202 of
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). The Act
generally requires that federal agencies prepare a written statement,
including a cost-benefit analysis, for each proposed and final rule
with ``federal mandates'' that may result in expenditures by State,
local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private
sector of more than $100 million in 1 year.
Legal Authority: The sections of the United States Code (U.S.C.),
Public Law (Pub. L.), Executive Order (EO), or common name of the law
that authorizes the regulatory action.
CFR Citation: The sections of the Code of Federal Regulations that
would be affected by the action.
Legal Deadline: An indication of whether the rule is subject to a
statutory or judicial deadline, the date of that deadline, and whether
the deadline pertains to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, a Final
Action, or some other action.
Abstract: A brief description of the problem the action will
address.
Timetable: The dates and citations (if available) for all past
steps and a projected date for at least the next step for the
regulatory action. A date displayed in the form 10/00/16 means the
agency is predicting the month and year the action will take place but
not the day it will occur. For some entries, the timetable indicates
that the date of the next action is ``to be determined.''
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Required: Indicates whether EPA has
prepared or anticipates that it will be preparing a regulatory
flexibility analysis under section 603 or 604 of the RFA. Generally,
such an analysis is required for proposed or final rules subject to the
RFA that EPA believes may have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
Small Entities Affected: Indicates whether the rule is anticipated
to have any effect on small businesses, small governments, or small
nonprofit organizations.
Government Levels Affected: Indicates whether the rule may have any
effect on levels of government and, if so, whether the governments are
State, local, tribal, or Federal.
Federalism Implications: Indicates whether the action is expected
to have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
Energy Impacts: Indicates whether the action is a significant
energy action under Executive Order 13211.
Sectors Affected: Indicates the main economic sectors regulated by
the action. The regulated parties are identified by their North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes. These codes were
created by the Census Bureau for collecting, analyzing, and publishing
statistical data on the U.S. economy. There are more than 1,000 NAICS
codes for sectors in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, services, and
public administration.
International Trade Impacts: Indicates whether the action is likely
to have international trade or investment effects, or otherwise be of
international interest.
Agency Contact: The name, address, phone number, and email address,
if available, of a person who is knowledgeable about the regulation.
Additional Information: Other information about the action
including docket information.
URLs: For some actions, the Internet addresses are included for
reading copies of rulemaking documents, submitting comments on
proposals, and getting more information about the rulemaking and the
program of which it is a part. (Note: To submit comments on
[[Page 37377]]
proposals, you can go to the associated electronic docket, which is
housed at www.regulations.gov. Once there, follow the online
instructions to access the docket in question and submit comments. A
docket identification [ID] number will assist in the search for
materials.)
RIN: The Regulation Identifier Number is used by OMB to identify
and track rulemakings. The first four digits of the RIN identify the
EPA office with lead responsibility for developing the action.
D. How can you find out about rulemakings that start up after the
Regulatory Agenda is signed?
EPA posts monthly information of new rulemakings that the Agency's
senior managers have decided to develop. This list is also distributed
via email. You can find the current list, known as the Action
Initiation List (AIL), at http://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/actions-initiated-month where you will also find information about how to get
an email notification when a new list is posted.
E. What tools are available for mining Regulatory Agenda data and for
finding more about EPA rules, policies, and retrospective review?
1. The http://www.reginfo.gov/ Searchable Database
The Regulatory Information Service Center and Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs have a Federal regulatory dashboard that allows
users to view the Regulatory Agenda database (http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaMain), which includes search, display, and data
transmission options.
2. Subject Matter EPA Web Sites
Some actions listed in the Agenda include a URL that provides
additional information about the action.
3. Public Dockets
When EPA publishes either an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(ANPRM) or a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register, the Agency typically establishes a docket to accumulate
materials throughout the development process for that rulemaking. The
docket serves as the repository for the collection of documents or
information related to a particular Agency action or activity. EPA most
commonly uses dockets for rulemaking actions, but dockets may also be
used for RFA section 610 reviews of rules with significant economic
impacts on a substantial number of small entities and for various non-
rulemaking activities, such as Federal Register documents seeking
public comments on draft guidance, policy statements, information
collection requests under the PRA, and other non-rule activities.
Docket information should be in that action's agenda entry. All of
EPA's public dockets can be located at www.regulations.gov.
4. EPA's Regulatory Development and Retrospective Review Tracker
EPA's Regulatory Development and Retrospective Review Tracker
(www.epa.gov/regdarrt/) serves as a portal to EPA's priority rules,
providing you with earlier and more frequently updated information
about Agency regulations than is provided by the Regulatory Agenda. Not
all of EPA's Regulatory Agenda entries appear on Reg DaRRT; only
priority rulemakings can be found on this Web site.
This Web site also provides information about EPA's retrospective
reviews of existing regulations and semiannual progress reports on
those reviews.
III. Retrospective Review of Regulations
Recognizing the importance of reducing unnecessary red tape,
Executive Order 13563 requires agencies to develop a plan to
periodically review its regulations to determine whether any should be
modified, streamlined, expanded, or repealed to make the agency's
regulatory program more effective or less burdensome in achieving the
regulatory objectives. Executive Order 13610 requires agencies to give
priority to those initiatives that will produce significant monetary
savings or reductions in paperwork burdens while protecting public
health, welfare, safety, and our environment, and puts particular
emphasis on initiatives that would reduce unjustified regulatory
burdens or simplify or harmonize regulatory requirements on small
businesses.
In August 2011, EPA issued its Final Plan for Periodic
Retrospective Reviews of Existing Regulations (http://www.epa.gov/regdarrt/). This Plan was developed after extensive public outreach
that sought input on an agency plan for retrospective review, as well
as on possible reforms to modify, streamline, expand or repeal existing
regulations. As part of our 2011 Final Plan, the EPA committed to
soliciting comments on what the public recommends for review as well as
to evaluating the first review period.
Consistent with the Executive Orders and with our 2011 Plan, EPA is
again soliciting comments on regulations that might be appropriate for
retrospective review. We are requesting comment on rules that were
finalized more than 5 years ago and that have not already been
identified for review under the 2011 Final Plan or subsequent updates
to that Plan. In addition, we are specifically soliciting comments on
the following questions:
Which regulations could be updated to be less burdensome
for small businesses and/or state and local governments while
maintaining environmental protection?
Which regulations, including economically significant
rules, could be transitioned from paper to electronic reporting?
How can the EPA reduce duplicative reporting requirements
in existing regulations that may overlap with other federal
requirements?
How can the EPA streamline or consolidate reporting
requirements to reduce burden, including reducing the frequency of
reporting, while maintaining effective programs?
Which regulations could be improved through the use of
advance monitoring techniques to facilitate environmental protection?
Are there changes that could be made to a regulation to
better protect vulnerable populations?
Which regulations (or a portion of a regulation) have
achieved their original objective and become obsolete?
We request that commenters be as specific as possible, include any
supporting data or other information, and provide a citation when
referencing a specific regulation. In addition, in drafting comments,
bear in mind that the EPA must uphold both its legal obligations under
governing statutes and its mission to protect human health and the
environment; and that the EPA's retrospective review will be tailored
to reflect its resources, rulemaking schedule, and workload.
The EPA is accepting comments until July 11, 2016. Please send
retrospective review comments to docket EPA-HQ-OA-2016-0203. Although
the agency will not respond to individual comments, the EPA values and
will give careful consideration to all input that it receives. Please
see https://www.epa.gov/regdarrt/retrospective/history.html for
additional information and updates.
IV. Review of Regulations Under 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
A. Reviews of Rules With Significant Impacts on a Substantial Number of
Small Entities
Section 610 of the RFA requires that an agency review, within 10
years of
[[Page 37378]]
promulgation, each rule that has or will have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. At this time, EPA is
initiating two 610 reviews and concluding a third 610 review.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA established official public dockets for the new 610 Reviews. If
you would like to provide feedback, submit your comments, identified by
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0175 or EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0126, to the
Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments
cannot be edited or withdrawn. The EPA may publish any comment received
to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
generally will not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the Web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets. EPA is no longer accepting
comment on the Section 610 Review of National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations: Ground Water Rule.
B. What other special attention does EPA give to the impacts of rules
on small businesses, small governments, and small nonprofit
organizations?
For each of EPA's rulemakings, consideration is given to whether
there will be any adverse impact on any small entity. EPA attempts to
fit the regulatory requirements, to the extent feasible, to the scale
of the businesses, organizations, and governmental jurisdictions
subject to the regulation.
Under RFA as amended by SBREFA, the Agency must prepare a formal
analysis of the potential negative impacts on small entities, convene a
Small Business Advocacy Review Panel (proposed rule stage), and prepare
a Small Entity Compliance Guide (final rule stage) unless the Agency
certifies a rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. For more detailed information
about the Agency's policy and practice with respect to implementing
RFA/SBREFA, please visit EPA's RFA/SBREFA Web site at www.epa.gov/reg-flex.
V. Thank You for Collaborating With Us
Finally, we would like to thank those of you who choose to join
with us in making progress on the complex issues involved in protecting
human health and the environment. Collaborative efforts such as EPA's
open rulemaking process are a valuable tool for addressing the problems
we face, and the regulatory agenda is an important part of that
process.

229. Section 610 Review of Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants
From Mobile Sources (Section 610 Review)
Legal Authority: 5 U.S.C. 610
Abstract: The rulemaking ``Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants From
Mobile Sources'' was finalized by the EPA in February 2007 (72 FR 8428,
February 26, 2007). This program established stringent new controls on
gasoline, passenger vehicles, and gas cans to further reduce emissions
of benzene and other mobile source air toxics. The EPA developed a
Small Entity Compliance Guide, which provides descriptions of the
regulations and small entity provisions, Q&As, and other helpful
compliance information. This new entry in the Regulatory Agenda
announces that the EPA will review this action pursuant to section 610
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610) to determine if the
provisions that could affect small entities should be continued without
change, or should be rescinded or amended to minimize adverse economic
impacts on small entities. As part of this review, the EPA will
consider and solicit comments on the following factors: (1) The
continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments
received from the public concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the
rule; (4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or
conflicts with other Federal, State, or local government rules; and (5)
the degree to which the technology, economic conditions, or other
factors have changed in the area affected by the rule. Comments must be
received within 60 days of this notice. In submitting comments, please
reference Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0175 and follow the instructions
provided in the preamble to this issue of the Regulatory Agenda. This

231. General Permits and Permits By Rule for the Federal Minor New
Source Review Program in Indian Country for Six Source Categories
Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Clean Air Act
Abstract: The Tribal Minor New Source Review (NSR) program applies
to new and modified minor sources and minor modifications at major
sources of air pollution in Indian country. The program, established in
2011, is implemented through issuance of preconstruction permits that
can include, among other requirements, pollutant emission limits for
minor sources and emission limitations on the potential of sources to
emit pollution that would otherwise be considered major sources. This
minor source program for Indian country is similar to state minor NSR
programs. State minor NSR programs often use general permits and a few
state programs allow permits by rule as streamlined permitting
approaches for similar emission units or stationary sources. This
action finalizes general permits for certain source categories of true
minor sources wishing to locate or expand in Indian country. This
action finalizes general permits for the following six source
categories: Concrete batch plants; boilers and emergency engines,
stationary spark ignition engines, stationary compression ignition
engines, graphic arts and printing operations, and sawmill facilities.

232. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium-
and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles--Phase 2
Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Clean Air Act
Abstract: The EPA and the Department of Transportation, in close
coordination with the California Air Resources Board, are developing a
comprehensive National Program for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle
Greenhouse Gas Emission and Fuel Efficiency Standards for model years
beyond 2018. These standards would further reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and fuel consumption from a wide range of on-road vehicles
from semi-trucks to the largest pickup trucks and vans, and all types
and sizes of work trucks and buses. This action is in continued
response to the President's directive to take coordinated steps to
produce a new generation of clean vehicles and follows the first ever
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for
Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles (76 FR 57106, September 15,
2011).

Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Clean Air Act
Abstract: Consistent with the White House Methane Strategy and the
January 14, 2015, announcement of the EPA's approach to achieving
methane and volatile organic compounds (VOC) reductions from the oil
and natural gas sector, this action will finalize amendments to the
2012 new source performance standards (NSPS) for this sector. The
proposed rule published 9/18/15, included methane and VOC standards for
sources not covered by the 2012 Oil and Gas NSPS, such as completions
of hydraulically fractured oil wells, pneumatic pumps and fugitive
emissions at well sites and compressor stations. The proposal also
included methane standards for sources covered in the 2012 NSPS. In
addition, in response to the reconsideration petitions received for the
2012 NSPS and the subsequent amendments to the NSPS, this rule
addresses the issues for which the EPA is granting reconsideration.

Training and Certification for Renovation and Remodeling Section
402(C)(3) (Section 610 Review)
Legal Authority: 5 U.S.C. 610
Abstract: EPA is initiating a review of the 2008 Lead; Renovation,
Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) (73 FR 21692) pursuant to section
610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA, 5 U.S.C. 610). The rule was
amended in 2010 (75 FR 24802) and 2011 (76 FR 47918) to eliminate a
provision for contractors to opt-out of prescribed work practices and
to affirm the qualitative clearance of renovated or repaired spaces,
respectively. Although the section 610 review only needs to address the
2008 RRP Rule, EPA will exercise its discretion to consider relevant
comments to the 2010 and 2011 amendments. The RRP rule is intended to
reduce exposure to lead hazard created by renovation, repair, and
painting activities that disturb lead-based paint. The current rule
establishes requirements for training renovators and dust sampling
technicians; certifying renovators, dust sampling technicians, and
renovation firms; accrediting providers of renovation and dust sampling
technician training; and for renovation work practices. This new entry
in the regulatory agenda announces that EPA will review this action
pursuant to RFA section 610. As part of this review, EPA will consider
and solicit comments on the following factors: (1) The continued need
for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or comments received
concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule; (4) the extent to
which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with other Federal,
State, or local government rules; and (5) the degree to which the
technology, economic conditions or other factors have changed in the
area affected by the rule. This review will also serve as an additional
opportunity to provide comment on lead test kits, field testing
alternatives and other broader RRP rule concerns as referenced in 80 FR
79335 and 80 FR 27621. Comments must be received within 60 days of this
notice. In submitting comments, please reference Docket ID EPA-HQ-OPPT-

6(A); Vapor Degreasing
Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2605 Toxic Substances Control Act
Abstract: Section 6(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
provides authority for the EPA to ban or restrict the manufacture
(including import), processing, distribution in commerce, and use of
chemicals, as well as any manner or method of disposal. The EPA
identified trichloroethylene (TCE) for risk evaluation as part of its
Work Plan for Chemical Assessment under TSCA. TCE is used in industrial
and commercial processes, and also has some limited uses in consumer
products. In the June 2014 TSCA Work Plan Chemical Risk Assessment for
TCE, the EPA identified risks associated with commercial vapor
degreasing. EPA is initiating rulemaking under TSCA section 6 to
address these risks, if the EPA finds that there is a reasonable basis
to conclude that the risks to human health or the environment are
unreasonable. A separate Regulatory Agenda entry (RIN 2070-AK03) covers
the EPA's consideration of a rulemaking to address the risks associated
with TCE when used as a spotting agent in dry cleaning and in
commercial and consumer aerosol spray degreasers.

236. Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products
Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2697 Toxic Substances Control Act
Abstract: The EPA is developing a final rule under the Formaldehyde
Standards for Composite Wood Products Act that was enacted in 2010 as
title VI of Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2697. In
2013, EPA issued a proposed rule to establish a framework for a TSCA
title VI Third-Party Certification Program whereby third-party
certifiers (TPCs) are accredited by accreditation bodies (ABs) so that
they may certify composite wood product panel producers under TSCA
title VI. That proposed rule identified the roles and responsibilities
of the groups involved in the TPC process (EPA, ABs, and TPCs), as well
as the criteria for participation in the program. EPA also proposed
general requirements for TPCs, such as conducting and verifying
formaldehyde emission tests,
[[Page 37382]]
inspecting and auditing panel producers, and ensuring that panel
producers' quality assurance and quality control procedures comply with
the regulations set forth in the proposed rule. A separate proposed
rule issued in 2013 under RIN 2070-AJ92 covered the implementation of
the statutory formaldehyde emission standards for hardwood plywood,
medium-density fiberboard, and particleboard sold, supplied, offered
for sale, or manufactured (including imported) in the United States.
Pursuant to TSCA section 3(7), the definition of ``manufacture''
includes import. As required by title VI, these regulations apply to
hardwood plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and particleboard. TSCA
title VI also directs EPA to promulgate supplementary provisions to
ensure compliance with the emissions standards, including provisions
related to labeling; chain of custody requirements; sell-through
provisions; ultra low-emitting formaldehyde resins; no-added
formaldehyde-based resins; finished goods; third-party testing and
certification; auditing and reporting of third-party certifiers;
recordkeeping; enforcement; laminated products; and exceptions from the
requirements of regulations promulgated pursuant to this subsection for
products and components containing de minimis amounts of composite wood
products. As noted in the previously published Regulatory Agenda entry
for each rulemaking, EPA has decided to issue a single final rule that
addresses both of these proposals. As such, EPA also combined the
entries for the Regulatory Agenda.

238. Section 610 Review of National Primary Drinking Water Regulations:
Ground Water Rule (Completion of a Section 610 Review)
Legal Authority: 5 U.S.C. 610
Abstract: EPA published the Ground Water Rule (GWR) in the Federal
Register on November 08, 2006. The purpose of the rule is to provide
for increased protection against microbial pathogens in public water
systems that use ground water sources. EPA is particularly concerned
about ground water systems that are susceptible to fecal contamination
since disease-causing pathogens may be found in fecal contamination.
The GWR applies to public water systems that serve ground water. The
rule also applies to any system that mixes surface and ground water if
the ground water is added directly to the distribution system and
provided to consumers without treatment. EPA reviewed this action in
the fall of 2015 through the spring of 2016, pursuant to section 610 of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 610). As part of this review,
EPA solicited comments for consideration on the following factors: (1)
The continued need for the rule; (2) the nature of complaints or
comments received concerning the rule; (3) the complexity of the rule;
(4) the extent to which the rule overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts
with other federal, state, or local government rules; and (5) the
degree to which the technology, economic conditions or other factors
have changed in the area affected by the rule. EPA has completed its
review and concluded that the rule needs no revisions at this time to
minimize impacts on small entities. The results of the review are
summarized in a report and placed in the Water Docket under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OW-2015-0541. You can access the docket at the Federal
