Sodium Nitrate in Pesticide Formulations; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance

EPA establishes an exemption from tolerance requirements for sodium nitrate residues used as an inert ingredient in pesticide fumigant canisters applied post-harvest to raw agricultural commodities in sealed warehouses under 40 CFR 180.910, eliminating the need to set maximum permissible residue levels. The regulation also corrects a typographical error in the CAS number for d-Alpha tocopherol.

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of sodium nitrate (CAS Reg. No. 7631-99-4) when used as an inert ingredient (dilutant/oxidizer) in pesticide formulations applied to raw agricultural commodities post-harvest under 40 CFR 180.910, only when used in a fumigant canister that is remotely detonated and released inside a sealed warehouse. AgroFresh Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of sodium nitrate, when used in accordance with the terms of this exemption. This action also corrects a typographical error to the CAS Reg. No. of d-Alpha tocopherol. A digit was inadvertently omitted from the previously listed CAS Reg. No., resulting in a number that is not valid and does not represent any chemical.

No-Migration Variance From Land Disposal Restrictions for Clean Harbors Grassy Mountain, Utah

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving with conditions, no-migration variances for four categories/groups of wastes, containing up to a combined 250 temporary disposal units ("put piles") at any one time, from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) standards at Clean Harbors' Grassy Mountain (Clean Harbors) commercial treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF) in Tooele County, Utah. These variances will allow Clean Harbors to temporarily store treated hazardous wastes that are awaiting LDR compliance verification in put piles within its Subtitle C (hazardous waste) landfill. The petitioner demonstrated, to a reasonable degree of certainty, that there will be no migration of hazardous constituents from the put piles for as long as the wastes remain hazardous. Additionally, once LDR compliance is verified, the put piles will be disposed within the onsite RCRA hazardous waste landfill cell and will be subject to the conditions set out in the Compliance Monitoring Plan section of this document.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Arizona; Revisions to the Cleaner Burning Gasoline, Winter Oxygenated Fuel, and Gasoline Set-Aside Programs

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). This revision includes statutes and regulations amending the Cleaner Burning Gasoline (CBG) program, which is a control measure in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area to reduce emissions of ozone-forming pollutants, carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter. Additionally, this revision addresses the Winter Oxygenated Fuel program to control CO emissions in the Tucson area. Finally, this revision repeals the Arizona Gasoline Set[hyphen]aside (GSA) Program, applicable to the 1971 carbon monoxide nonattainment area covering Maricopa County and a portion of Pima County. The EPA is proposing to approve this SIP revision under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act"). This SIP revision is administrative in nature. This action proposes to update the existing SIP-approved CBG program with revisions that have been adopted and implemented by the State to clarify requirements, update references, and enhance flexibility of the program, and it will not impose any additional costs or regulatory burdens. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.

Air Plan Approval; Colorado; RACT Requirements for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone Standard for the Denver Metro/North Front Range Nonattainment Area

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of Colorado State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittals under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that address SIP obligations related to Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements for the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the Denver-Boulder-Greeley-Ft. Collins-Loveland, Colorado ozone nonattainment area. The EPA is proposing approval of portions of the RACT SIP submittals that address reporting requirements for certain source categories and reorganize certain state air pollution regulations. The EPA is also proposing to find that the State has addressed the EPA's prior limited disapproval.
