SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Extension of the Comment Period 

On October 19, 2010, OSHA 

published a notice of proposed 

interpretation entitled Interpretation of 

OSHA’s Provisions for Feasible 

Administrative or Engineering Controls 

of Occupational Noise. The notice 

proposed to clarify that the term feasible 

administrative or engineering controls 

as used in the applicable sections of 

OSHA’s General Industry and 

Construction Occupational Noise 

Exposure standards has its ordinary 

meaning of capable of being done. The 

Agency announced its intention to 

revise and clarify its current 

enforcement policy to reflect this 

interpretation, and solicited comments 

from interested parties within 60 days, 

ending on December 20, 2010. 

OSHA’s current enforcement policy 

for exposures less than 100 dBA has not 

reflected the noise standard’s 

requirement that feasible engineering 

and administrative controls be used as 

the primary means of reducing noise 

exposure. Instead, the Agency has 

allowed many employers to rely upon a 

hearing conservation program, 

including the use of hearing protectors. 

Excessive noise levels continue to be 

a cause of hearing loss in the nation’s 

workplaces. Since 2004, the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics (BLS) has reported that 

over 125,000 workers have suffered 

significant, permanent hearing loss. In 

2008 alone, BLS reported 22,000 hearing 

loss cases. 

Two commenters, the National 

Association of Manufacturers and the 

Coalition for Workplace Safety (CWS), 

representing employers who would be 

affected by the proposed interpretation, 

have requested an extension of 90 days 

to assess the operating changes that 

their members would be required to 

make to comply with the interpretation. 

In addition, CWS cites the proximity of 

the current deadline to the winter 

holidays as an additional reason for the 

extension. 

OSHA believes that these requests are 

reasonable. OSHA is interested in 

hearing from and carefully considering 

the views of affected persons before 

making a final decision on the proposed 

interpretation. Accordingly, to facilitate 

the submission of more thorough 

comments and help the agency assess 

the issues, OSHA is extending the 

comment period by 90 days from 

December 20, 2010 to March 21, 2011. 

Authority: 29 U.S.C. 655; 29 CFR

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Delaware; Limiting Emissions of 

Volatile Organic Compounds From 

Portable Fuel Containers 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2010 / Proposed Rules 77799 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of 

Delaware. This SIP revision includes an 

amendment to Delaware’s regulation for 

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 

from Consumer and Commercial 

Products, Section 3.0, Portable Fuel 

Containers. In the Final Rules section of 

this Federal Register, EPA is approving 

the State’s SIP submittal as a direct final 

rule without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this action, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by January 13, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

Instructions: Direct your comments to

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The 

http://www.regulations.gov Web site is

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the 

electronic docket are listed in the 

http://www.regulations.gov index. 

Although listed in the index, some 

information is not publicly available, 

i.e., CBI or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, is not placed on 

the Internet and will be publicly 

available only in hard copy form.

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical 

Manufacturing Area Sources 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: On June 15, 2010, EPA 

notified Petitioners that the Agency 

intended to initiate the reconsideration 

process in response to their request for 

reconsideration of certain provisions in 

the National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Chemical 

Manufacturing Area Sources. Among 

the provisions that EPA is reconsidering 

is a requirement that certain affected 

sources obtain a permit. In a separate 

rule published today, EPA is taking final 

action to stay for 90 days, the 

requirement for certain affected sources 

to comply with the title V permit 

program. Because we believe the 

reconsideration process may not be 

completed within 90 days, we are 

proposing to stay the provision 

requiring certain sources to obtain a 

permit until the final reconsideration 

rule is published in the Federal 

Register. EPA is requesting public 

comment on this proposed stay. 

DATES: Comments. Comments must be 

received on or before January 28, 2011. 

Public Hearing. If anyone contacts 

EPA requesting to speak at a public 

hearing by December 27, 2010, a public 

hearing will be held on December 29, 

2010. For further information on the 

public hearing and requests to speak, 

see the ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble.
