  <description><![CDATA[ The EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to 
the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) which the Texas Commission on 
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) submitted to EPA on February 5, 2004. The 
adopted amendments revise minimum distance limitation permit 
requirements for operation of new and modified sources to allow storage 
of an inoperative concrete crusher within 440 yards of a residence, 
school, or place of worship; define how distance measurements should be 
taken and when they would be applicable to concrete crushers and other 
facilities; and allow concrete crushers to recycle broken concrete at 
temporary demolition sites within 440 yards of nearby buildings, unless 
the facility is located in a county with a population of 2.4 million or 
more, or in a county adjacent to such a county. The TCEQ also revised 
the existing distance limitation for hazardous waste management 
facilities to crossreference duplicative language elsewhere in its 
regulations. This action is being taken under<script type="text/javascript">

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;  Colorado; Revisions to New Source Review Rules]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-07-05-23712</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ EPA is proposing to approve those revisions adopted by 
Colorado on April 16, 2004 to Regulation No. 3 (Stationary Source 
Permitting and Air Pollutant Emission Notice Requirements) that 
incorporate EPA's December 31, 2002 NSR Reforms. Colorado submitted the 
request for approval of these rule revisions into the State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) on July 11, 2005 and supplemented its request 
on October 25, 2005. At this time, EPA is proposing to approve only the 
portions of Colorado's revisions to Regulation Number 3 that relate to 
the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) and nonattainment 
new source review (NSR) construction permit programs of the State of 
Colorado. Other revisions, renumberings, additions, or deletions to 
Regulation No. 3 made by Colorado as part of the April 16, 2004 final 
rulemaking will be acted on by EPA in a separate action. Colorado has a 
Federally approved New Source Review (NSR) program for new and modified 
sources impacting attainment and nonattainment areas in th<script type="text/javascript">

Approval and Disapproval and Promulgation of Air Quality  Implementation Plans; Colorado; Affirmative Defense]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-07-05-23715</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ EPA is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove 
a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of 
Colorado. The revision establishes affirmative defense provisions for 
source owners and operators for excess emissions during periods of 
startup and shutdown. The affirmative defense provisions are contained 
in the State of Colorado's Common Provisions regulation. The intended 
effect of this action is to propose to approve those portions of the 
rule that are approvable and to propose to disapprove those portions of 
the rule that are inconsistent with the Clean Air Act. This action is 
being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In addition, EPA is 
announcing that it no longer considers the State of Colorado's May 27, 
1998 submittal of revisions to Regulation No. 1 to be an active SIP 
submittal. Those revisions, which we proposed to disapprove on 
September 2, 1999 and October 7, 1999, would have provided exemptions 
from existing limitations on opacity and sul<script type="text/javascript">

Pesticides; Revisions to Tolerance Exemptions for Polymers ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-07-05-23667</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ EPA is proposing to remove the molecular weight limitations 
from the tolerance exemption expression for certain polymeric 
substances codified in 40 CFR 180.960. These exemptions from the 
requirement of a tolerance were established based on the polymer's 
meeting the criteria established by the Agency in 40 CFR 723.250, which 
define a low risk polymer. The Agency is acting on its own initiative.

  <description><![CDATA[ This Amended Order Responding to Remand corrects certain 
errors that were found in the Order Responding to Remand that was

ownership interest in units at Plant Wansley operated by Georgia Power 
Company. The Administrator issued the preceding Order Responding to 
Remand denying a petition to object to a state operating permit issued
