Acid Rain Program: Notification of 

Annual Adjustment Factors for Excess 

Emissions Penalty 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Annual adjustment factors for 

excess emissions penalty. 

SUMMARY: The Acid Rain Program under 

title IV of the Clean Air Act provides for 

automatic excess emissions penalties in 

dollars per ton of excess emissions for 

sources that do not meet their annual 

Acid Rain emissions limitations. This 

document states the dollars per ton 

excess emissions penalty amounts, 

which must be adjusted for each 

compliance year commensurate with 

changes in the Consumer Price Index 

(CPI), for compliance years 2017 and 

2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert L. Miller, Clean Air Markets 

Division (6204M), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460, at

epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Acid 

Rain Program under title IV of the Clean 

Air Act limits annual sulfur dioxide and 

nitrogen oxide emissions of fossil fuelfired utility units. Under the Acid Rain 

Program, affected sources must hold 

enough allowances to cover their sulfur 

dioxide emissions, and certain coalfired sources must meet an emission 

limit for nitrogen oxides. Under 40 CFR 

77.6, sources that do not meet these 

requirements must pay a penalty 

without demand to the Administrator 

based on the number of excess tons 

emitted times $2,000 as adjusted by an 

annual adjustment factor, which must 

be published in the Federal Register. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for excess 

emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen 

oxides under 40 CFR part 77.6(b) for 

compliance year 2017 is 1.9330. This 

value is derived using the CPI for 1990 

and 2016 (defined respectively at 40 

CFR 72.2 as the CPI for August of the 

year before the specified year for all 

urban consumers) and results in an 

automatic penalty of $3,866 per excess 

ton of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted for 2017. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for such excess 

emissions under 40 CFR 77.6(b) for 

compliance year 2018 is 1.9705. This 

value is derived using the CPI for 1990 

and 2017 and results in an automatic 

penalty of $3,941 per excess ton of 

sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted for 2018.

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); 

however, EPA has not fully evaluated 

the sufficiency of the submitted data at 

this time or whether the data support 

granting of the pesticide petitions. After 

considering the public comments, EPA 

intends to evaluate whether and what 

action may be warranted. Additional 

data may be needed before EPA can 

make a final determination on these 

pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this document, 

prepared by the petitioner, is included 

in a docket EPA has created for each 

rulemaking. The docket for each of the 

petitions is available at http://

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit.

Activities: Comment Request 

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the 

United States. 

ACTION: Submission for OMB review and 

comments request. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of 

the United States (EXIM), as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public and other Federal 

Agencies to comment on the proposed 

information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

Pursuant to the Export-Import Bank 

Act of 1945, as amended, the ExportImport Bank of the United States 

(EXIM), facilitates the finance of the 

export of U.S. goods and services by 

providing insurance or guarantees to 

U.S. exporters or lenders financing U.S. 

exports. By neutralizing the effect of 

export credit insurance or guarantees 

offered by foreign governments and by 

absorbing credit risks that the private 

sector will not accept, EXIM enables 

U.S. exporters to compete fairly in 

foreign markets on the basis of price and 

product. In the event that a borrower 

defaults on a transaction insured or 

guaranteed by EXIM, the insured or 

guaranteed exporter or lender may seek 

payment from EXIM by the submission 

of a claim. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 22, 2017 to be 

assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted electronically on
