EPA Publishes Federal Register Notice to Fix One Typo
Published Date: 1/7/2025
Rule
Summary
The EPA fixed a typo in a recent rule that affects certain big pollution sources now classified as smaller area sources. This correction makes sure these sources still follow important pollution limits for seven harmful chemicals, even after reclassification. The fix takes effect on January 7, 2025, so affected businesses should keep an eye on their compliance to avoid surprises.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Reclassified Major Sources Keep NESHAP Duties
If a facility was subject to certain major-source NESHAP on September 10, 2024, it must remain subject to those NESHAP even if the facility later reduces emissions and becomes an area source. This requirement covers rules tied to seven specific persistent and bioaccumulative pollutants, so affected facilities should continue to follow existing pollution limits and compliance obligations.
Typo Fix Restores Pesticide Production Rule Reference
The EPA corrected a typographical error in 40 CFR 63.1(c)(6)(iii) to replace an incorrect reference to subpart HHH with the correct reference to 40 CFR part 63 subpart MMM (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production). The correction is effective January 7, 2025, and ensures that the pesticide active ingredient production source category remains listed among the subparts that must continue to apply after reclassification.

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-12/47E airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that the emergency exit door could not be opened from inside an airplane. This AD requires modification of the passenger service unit (PSU) trim panel if dual lock fastener tapes are not installed. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

2026-17652, Requests for Arbitration Panels
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) is issuing an interim final rule with requests for comments to amend its arbitration services regulations. The interim final rule clarifies the circumstances in which the Office of Arbitration (OA) may decline to issue an arbitration panel, make a direct appointment, or provide related arbitration services. The rule would remove language that could be read to require FMCS to honor every unilateral request for an arbitration panel, regardless of legal constraints or FMCS's authority. Due to a technical error, FMCS is reposting this IFR and extending the deadline for comments to 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register. FMCS seeks public comment on this interim final rule.

The EPA reviewed the rules for dry cleaners using perchloroethylene (PCE), a chemical that can harm the air. They decided not to change the current rules because PCE is being phased out over 10 years under a different law. Dry cleaning businesses using PCE should keep following existing rules while preparing for the phaseout, which could affect their costs and operations.
