Conditional Approval; Contingency Measure State Implementation Plan for the 2008 Ozone Standards; San Joaquin Valley, California

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to conditionally approve a state implementation plan (SIP) submission under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") that addresses the contingency measure requirements for the 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") for the San Joaquin Valley ozone nonattainment area. The SIP submission, titled the "Ozone Contingency Measure State Implementation Plan Revision for the 2008 and 2015 8-hour Ozone Standards" ("2024 SJV Ozone Contingency Measure Plan," "Contingency Measure Plan," or "Plan") relies on two ozone contingency measures that the EPA has already approved in separate rulemakings. The approval is conditional because it relies on commitments by the State air agency and regional air district to supplement the 2024 SJV Ozone Contingency Measure Plan with submission of specific additional contingency measures within one year of the EPA's final conditional approval. The EPA is taking final conditional approval action of the SIP submission because the Agency has determined that the existing approved contingency measures, the commitments to submit additional contingency measures, and the justification for not adopting contingency measures that would achieve the recommended amount for such measures, meet the applicable requirements for such SIP submissions for the San Joaquin Valley for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. This conditional approval adds the 2024 SJV Ozone Contingency Measure Plan to the federally enforceable California SIP.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is approving a revision to the State of New York's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) related to a source-specific SIP (SSSIP) revision for Calpine JFK Energy Center, located at Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Building 49, Jamaica, NY 11430 (the Facility). The EPA found that the control options in this SSSIP revision implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) with respect to Oxides of Nitrogen (NO<INF>X</INF>) emissions from the relevant Facility sources, which are identified as six mid-size emergency hot water boilers (the Boilers). This SSSIP revision implements NO<INF>X</INF> RACT for the relevant Facility sources in accordance with the requirements for implementation of the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS. The EPA determined that this action will not interfere with ozone NAAQS requirements and meets all applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (25-2.5e)

EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also subject to an Order issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of any of these chemical substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use in the SNUR. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the conditions of that use for that chemical substance. In addition, the manufacture or processing for the significant new use may not commence until EPA has conducted a review of the required notification; made an appropriate determination regarding that notification; and taken such actions as required by that determination.

The Detroit, Michigan area was redesignated to attainment of the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) on May 19, 2023. On December 5, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit vacated the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) redesignation of the Detroit area. Therefore, pursuant to the Court's decision, the EPA is making a technical amendment to the part 81 listing for the Detroit area to reflect the area's designation as nonattainment for the 2015 ozone NAAQS, with a classification of Moderate.

Air Plan Approval; Michigan; Determination of Attainment by the Attainment Date for the 2015 Ozone Standards

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that the Detroit, Michigan nonattainment area ("Detroit area" or "area") attained the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) by the applicable attainment date. This determination relies on the EPA's concurrence on an exceptional events request submitted by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) on February 19, 2026, and concurred on by the EPA on March 24, 2026. Therefore, the EPA is proposing to take final agency action on Michigan's exceptional events request. This action, if finalized, will fulfill the EPA's statutory obligation to determine whether the Detroit area attained the 2015 ozone NAAQS by the Moderate attainment date of August 3, 2024.

Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposes to revise the Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance to improve government- wide policies and requirements related to the management of grants, cooperative agreements, and other forms of assistance. OMB is proposing revisions that would improve transparency, accountability, and oversight for Federal awards across the Federal Government. This includes ensuring that American tax dollars are not wasted or misused, activities performed under Federal awards are consistent with law and policy, and recipients are held accountable when they fail to meet relevant standards. The revisions also aim to ensure that basic American principles of equality and equal opportunity are upheld throughout all stages of the award making process and that unlawful discrimination is no longer permitted. Proposed changes also include providing further clarification on the regulatory status of the OMB requirements and on the process for future updates to the government- wide requirements. Finally, OMB also proposes changes to reduce recipient burden. The listed Federal grant-making agencies propose conforming changes to their respective adopting regulations, or, in the case of some agencies and other entities, establishing new adopting regulations or policies. The proposed changes reflect the administration's commitment to transparency, accountability, and proper oversight for the Federal grantmaking process. The proposed regulations seek to ensure that American tax dollars are ultimately used to serve the needs of the American public.

Pipeline Safety: Class Location Change Requirements; Correction

PHMSA is making a technical correction to a January 14, 2026 final rule that amended the class location change requirements. The final rule allows an operator to confirm or to restore the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of an eligible gas transmission pipeline segment that experiences a class location change by implementing an integrity management (IM) alternative. For MAOP restorations, PHMSA is clarifying in this correction notice that the 24-month deadline for implementing the initial programmatic requirements of the IM alternative runs from the effective date of the final rule or the date that an operator decides to initiate an MAOP restoration, whichever is later. This clarification is consistent with the requirements in the final rule, including the deadline in the IM alternative that applies to MAOP confirmations, which runs from the effective date of the final rule or the date of the class location change, whichever is later.
