  <description><![CDATA[ EPA is taking direct final action to approve a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Texas Commission on 
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on August 15, 2002. This SIP revision 
approves the adoption by reference of a Memorandum of Understanding 
(MOU) between the TCEQ and the Texas Department of Transportation 
(TxDOT). The MOU is adopted into the Texas rule at 30 TAC, Chapter 7, 
Section 119 (Section 7.119). This MOU concerns the coordination of 
environmental reviews associated with transportation projects. The 
adoption by reference of this MOU will streamline coordination between 
the TCEQ and TxDOT by consolidating separate MOUs currently in the air 
and water regulations. This action is important to satisfy the need of 
the Commission and TxDOT to coordinate regulatory programs and to 
ensure that overlapping areas of responsibility are clarified. This 
approval will make the MOU revised regulations Federally enforceable.

Oil Pollution Prevention; Non-Transportation Related Onshore  Facilities]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-12-05-23916</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to extend the 
dates by which facilities must prepare or amend Spill Prevention, 
Control, and Countermeasure Plans (SPCC Plans), and implement those 
Plans. This action would allow the Agency time to promulgate revisions 
to the July 17, 2002 final SPCC rule before owners and operators are 
required to meet requirements of that rule related to preparing or 
amending, and implementing SPCC Plans. The proposed revisions to the 
2002 final SPCC rule are published elsewhere in today's Federal 
Register.

Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention, Control, and  Countermeasure Plan Requirements--Amendments]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2005-12-12-05-23917</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is 
today proposing to amend the Spill Prevention, Control, and 
Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan requirements to reduce the regulatory burden 
for certain facilities by: Providing an option that would allow owners/
operators of facilities that store less than 10,000 gallons of oil and 
meet other qualifying criteria to selfcertify their SPCC Plans, in 
lieu of review and certification by a Professional Engineer; providing 
an alternative to the secondary containment requirement, without 
requiring a determination of impracticability, for facilities that have 
certain types of oilfilled equipment; defining and providing an 
exemption for motive power containers; and exempting airport mobile 
refuelers from the specifically sized secondary containment 
requirements for bulk storage containers. In addition, the Agency also 
proposes to remove and reserve certain SPCC requirements for animal 
fats and vegetable oils and proposes a separate extension of the
