Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 26, 2011 / Proposed Rules 44535 

rulemaking. EPA has considered these 

requests and has decided to reopen the 

comment period for an additional 15 

days from the date of publication of 

today’s rulemaking. 

This reopening is for the limited 

purpose of public review and comment 

on the potential impacts of the final 

CSAPR on EPA’s proposed rulemaking 

to approve Tennessee’s Regional Haze 

SIP. EPA does not anticipate any 

impacts from the CSAPR on the 

proposed rulemaking on the Tennessee 

Regional Haze SIP. As noted in the 

CSAPR, EPA has not conducted any 

technical analysis to determine whether 

compliance with the CSAPR would 

satisfy Regional Haze Best Available 

Retrofit Technology (BART)-related 

requirements for electric generating 

units (EGUs). For that reason, EPA has 

neither made any determinations nor 

established any presumptions that 

compliance with the CSAPR satisfies 

BART-related requirements for EGUs. 

EPA intends to undertake a separate 

analysis to determine if compliance 

with the CSAPR would provide 

sufficient reductions to satisfy BART 

requirements for EGUs in accordance 

with Regional Haze Rule requirements 

for alternative BART compliance 

options as soon as practicable following 

official promulgation of the CSAPR.

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, Northern Sierra 

Air Quality Management District, 

Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality 

Management District, and South Coast 

Air Quality Management District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Northern Sierra Air 

Quality Management District 

(NSAQMD), Sacramento Metropolitan 

Air Quality Management District 

(SMAQMD), and South Coast Air 

Quality Management District 

(SCAQMD) portions of the California 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions from 

gasoline dispensing facilities, polyester 

resin operations, and spray booth 

facilities. We are proposing to approve 

local rules to regulate these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act as 

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by August 25, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments,

contact you for clarification, EPA may 

not be able to consider your comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: NSAQMD Rule 215, SMAQMD 

Rule 465, and SCAQMD Rules 1132 and 

1162. In the Rules and Regulations 

section of this Federal Register, we are 

approving these local rules in a direct 

final action without prior proposal 

because we believe these SIP revisions 

are not controversial. If we receive 

adverse comments, however, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

Testing of Bisphenol A 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking (ANPRM). 

SUMMARY: Bisphenol A (BPA) (Chemical 

Abstracts Service Registry Number 

(CASRN) 80–05–7), a high production 

volume (HPV) chemical, is a 

reproductive, developmental, and 

systemic toxicant in animal studies and 

is weakly estrogenic. EPA is providing 

this ANPRM to request comment on 

requiring toxicity testing to determine 

the potential for BPA to cause adverse 

effects, including endocrine-related 

effects, in environmental organisms at 

low concentrations. EPA is also seeking 

comment on requiring environmental 

testing consisting of sampling and 

monitoring for BPA in surface water, 

ground water, drinking water, soil, 

sediment, sludge, and landfill leachate
