  <title><![CDATA[
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;  Illinois; Revisions to Emission Reduction Market System]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-07-E8-15153</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In 1997, Illinois adopted and submitted rules establishing a 
cap and trade program regulating emissions of volatile organic 
compounds (VOC). The program, known as the Emission Reduction Market 
System (ERMS), was designed to address VOC sources in the Chicago area 
with potential to emit at least 25 tons per year. Then, in 2004, the 
Chicago ozone nonattainment area was in effect reclassified from severe 
to moderate, which according to EPA guidance revised the applicable 
definition of major sources from 25 tons per year to 100 tons per year. 
This ``reclassification'' could have resulted in the program no longer 
including sources with potential to emit more than 25 but less than 100 
tons per year. Instead, Illinois adopted rule revisions, submitted to 
EPA on January 10, 2007, which required that these sources remain part 
of the program. Illinois' rule revisions also addressed other potential 
ramifications of the ``reclassification.'' EPA is approving these rule 
revisions.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;  Illinois and Indiana; Finding of Attainment for 1-Hour]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-07-E8-15331</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ On January 30, 2007, the Illinois Environmental Protection 
Agency (IEPA) requested that EPA find that the Chicago ozone 
nonattainment area, located within the ChicagoGaryLake County, 
IllinoisIndiana (ILIN) area, has attained the revoked 1hour ozone 
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). On October 25, 2007, the 
Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) requested that 
EPA find that Lake and Porter Counties, also within the ChicagoGary
Lake County, ILIN area, have attained the revoked 1hour ozone NAAQS. 
After review of these submissions, EPA is proposing to make such 
findings.

  <title><![CDATA[
Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Update To Include New  Jersey State Requirements]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-07-E8-15352</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ EPA is proposing to update a portion of the Outer Continental 
Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations. Requirements applying to OCS sources 
located within 25 miles of States' seaward boundaries must be 
promulgated into part 55 and updated periodically to remain consistent 
with the requirements of the corresponding onshore area (COA), as 
mandated by section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The portion 
of the OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to the 
requirements for OCS sources in the State of New Jersey. The intended 
effect of approving the OCS requirements for the State of New Jersey is 
to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the 
requirements onshore. The requirements discussed below are proposed to 
be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations and 
are listed in the appendix to the OCS air regulations.

  <title><![CDATA[
Potential Revision of the Product Performance Test Guidelines,  Structural Treatments; Notice of Public Meeting]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-07-07-E8-15327</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ EPA will conduct a public workshop on termiticide performance 
testing to discuss the potential revision of the OPPTS 810.3600 Product 
Performance Testing Guidelines and information needed to revise the 
testing guideline. Stakeholders have developed novel approaches to 
termite treatment and developed new pesticide chemistries since the 
adoption of the existing termiticide performance guideline. In response 
to these developments, EPA is holding a public workshop and requesting 
input on the relevance of the existing 810.3600 testing guideline scope 
and factors to be included in a revision, the applicability of the 
existing test guideline to novel product chemistries, and approaches to 
resolve the disparity between soil applied liquid termiticide testing 
guidelines and testing of other pesticides which may provide structural 
protection. This input will inform EPA on a possible guideline 
revision.
