Air Pollution Control; Proposed Action

on Clean Air Act Grant to the South

Coast Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA)

ACTION: Proposed determination with

request for comments and notice of

opportunity for public hearing.

SUMMARY: The USEPA has made a

proposed determination that a reduction

in expenditures of non-Federal funds for

the South Coast Air Quality

Management District (SCAQMD) in

Diamond Bar, California is a result of a

non-selective reduction in expenditures.

This determination, when final, will

permit the SCAQMD to keep the

financial assistance awarded to it for

FY–94 by EPA under section 105(c) of

the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Comments and/or requests for a

public hearing must be received by EPA

at the address stated below by March 16,

1995.

ADDRESSES: All comments and/or

requests for a public hearing should be

mailed to: Douglas K. McDaniel, Air

Grants Section (A–2–3), Air and Toxics

Division, USEPA Region IX, 75

Hawthorne Street, San Francisco,

California 94105–3901; FAX (415)744–

1076.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Douglas K. McDaniel, Air Grants

Section (A–2–3), Air and Toxics

Division, U.S. EPA Region IX, 75

Hawthorne Street, San Francisco,

California 94105–3901 at (415) 744–

1246.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

authority of Section 105 of the CAA,

EPA provides financial assistance to the

SCAQMD, whose jurisdiction includes

Los Angeles and Orange Counties in

southern California, to aid in the

operation of its air pollution control

programs. In FY–94, EPA awarded the
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 14, 1995 / Notices 8377

SCAQMD $6,670,831, which

represented approximately 6% of the

SCAQMD’s budget.

Section 105(c)(1) of the CAA, 42

U.S.C. 7405(c)(1), provides that ‘‘[n]o

agency shall receive any grant under

this section during any fiscal year when

its expenditures of non-Federal funds

for recurrent expenditures for air

pollution control programs will be less

than its expenditures were for such

programs during the preceding fiscal

year. In order for [EPA] to award grants

under this section in a timely manner

each fiscal year, [EPA] shall compare an

agency’s prospective expenditure level

to that of its second preceding year.’’

EPA may still award financial assistance

to an agency not meeting this

requirement, however, if EPA, ‘‘after

notice and opportunity for public

hearing, determines that a reduction in

expenditures is attributable to a nonselective reduction in the expenditures

in the programs of all Executive branch

agencies of the applicable unit of

Government.’’ CAA section 105(c)(2).

These statutory requirements are

repeated in EPA’s implementing

regulations at 40 CFR 35.210(a).

In its FY–94 section 105 application,

which EPA reviewed in early 1994, the

SCAQMD projected expenditures of

non-Federal funds for recurrent

expenditures (or its maintenance of

effort (MOE)) of $92,365,069. This MOE

would have been sufficient to meet the

MOE requirements of the CAA. In

January of 1995, however, the SCAQMD

submitted to EPA documentation which

shows that its actual FY–94 MOE was

$80,505,495. This amount represents a

shortfall of $11,228,569 from the MOE

of $91,734,064 for the preceding fiscal

year (FY–93). In order for the SCAQMD

to be eligible to keep its FY–94 grant,

EPA must make a determination under

section 105(c)(2).

The SCAQMD is a single-purpose

agency whose primary source of funding

is emission fee revenue. It is the ‘‘unit

of Government’’ for section 105(c)(2)

purposes. The SCAQMD submitted

documentation to EPA which shows

that over the last three years emission

reductions brought on by a combination

of economic recession and more

restrictive emission rules have reduced

fee revenues from stationary sources

from a high of $74,433,331 in 1990–

1991 to $64,923,181 in 1993–1994. As a

result of this revenue loss, the SCAQMD

has instituted hiring/salary freezes,

furloughs, and layoffs, has reduced its

equipment purchases and contract

expenditures, and has instituted new

programs to reduce costs such as permit

streamlining, computer-assisted permit

processing, and privatization efforts.

The SCAQMD’s MOE reductions

resulted from a loss of fee revenues due

to circumstances beyond its control. The

SCAQMD did not, on its own authority,

reduce its operating budget. EPA

proposes to determine that the

SCAQMD’s lower FY–94 MOE level

meets the section 105(c)(2) criteria as

resulting from a non-selective reduction

of expenditures. Pursuant to 40 CFR

35.210, this determination will allow

the SCAQMD to keep the funds received

from EPA for FY–94.

This notice constitutes a request for

public comment and an opportunity for

public hearing as required by the Clean

Air Act. All written comments received

by March 16, 1995 on this proposal will

be considered. EPA will conduct a

public hearing on this proposal only if

a written request for such is received by

EPA at the address above by March 16,

1995. If no written request for a hearing

is received, EPA will proceed to a final

determination.

Dated: February 6, 1995.

Felicia Marcus,

Regional Administrator.

Public Water System Supervision

Program Revision for the State of

Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in

accordance with the provisions of

section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water

Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 300f et seq.,

and 40 CFR part 142, subpart B, the

National Primary Drinking Water

Regulations (NPDWR), that the State of

Indiana is revising its approved Public

Water System Supervision (PWSS)

primacy program. The Indiana

Department of Environmental

Management (IDEM) adopted drinking

water regulations for Lead and Copper,

44 synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs),

12 inorganic chemicals (IOCs), and 8

volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) that

correspond to the NPDWR for Lead and

Copper, SOCs, IOCs, and VOCs,

promulgated by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) on June 7,

1991 (56 FR 26460–26564), on January

30, 1991 (56 FR 3526–3597), as

amended on July 1, 1991 (56 FR 30266–

30281), and on July 17, 1992 (57 FR

31776–31849). The U.S. EPA has

completed its review of Indiana’s PWSS

primacy program revision and has

determined that these sets of state

program revisions are not less stringent

than the corresponding Federal

regulations.

The U.S. EPA has determined that the

Indiana rule revisions meet the

requirements of the Federal rule.

Therefore, the U.S. EPA is proposing to

approve the IDEM’s rule revisions. All

interested parties are invited to submit

written comments on these proposed

determinations, and may request a

public hearing on or before March 16,

1995. If a public hearing is requested

and granted, the corresponding

determination shall not become

effective until such time following the

hearing, at which the Regional

Administrator issues an order affirming

or rescinding this action. Frivolous or

insubstantial requests for a hearing may

be denied by the Regional

Administrator.

Requests for public hearing should be

addressed to: Miguel A. Del Toral, (WD–

17J), U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

Any request for a public hearing shall

include the following: (1) The name,

address, and telephone number of the

individual, organization, or other entity

requesting a hearing. (2) A brief

statement of the requesting person’s

interest in the Regional Administrator’s

determinations and of information that

the requesting person intends to submit

at such hearing. (3) The signature of the

individual making the request; or, if the

request is made on behalf of an

organization or other entity, the

signature of a responsible official of the

organization or other entity.

Notice of any hearing shall be given

not less than fifteen (15) days prior to

the time scheduled for the hearing. Such

notice will be made by the Regional

Administrator in the Federal Register

and in newspapers of general

circulation in the State of Indiana. A

notice will be sent to the person(s)

requesting the hearing as well as to the

State of Indiana. The hearing notice will

include a statement of purpose,

information regarding the time and

location, and the address and telephone

number where interested persons may

obtain further information. The Regional

Administrator will issue an order

affirming or rescinding his

determination upon review of the

hearing record. Should the

determination be affirmed, it will

become effective as of the date of the

order.

Should no timely and appropriate

request for a hearing be received, and

should the Regional Administrator not

elect to hold a hearing on his own
