National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Gasoline Distribution Facilities and Standards of Performance for Bulk Gasoline Terminals Reconsideration

Environmental Protection Agency · 2026-09-28

On May 8, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Gasoline Distribution Technology Reviews and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) Review for Bulk Gasoline Terminals final rule ("2024 Final Rule"). The EPA is reconsidering various provisions of the 2024 Final Rule in this proposed rule, including the operating limits and continuous compliance requirements for air emission control devices, and the vapor tightness requirements for gasoline cargo tanks. The EPA is also reconsidering the modification criteria in the NSPS and proposing other technical corrections and clarifications. The EPA does not anticipate that this proposed action will impact volatile organic compound (VOC) or hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions generated by gasoline distribution facilities because the proposed amendments do not impact the stringency of the emission standards set by the 2024 Final Rule. As such, the EPA expects the proposed amendments will have no impact on air quality or overall human health. The EPA is not reopening any other aspect of the 2024 Final Rule and does not intend to respond to comments addressing any other issues or provisions not specifically addressed in this proposed rulemaking.

Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition, DP26-003

Transportation Department, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration · 2026-09-25

This notice sets forth the reasons for denying a Petition DP26-003 submitted on February 5, 2026 by Mr. James A. Palmer to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI), under 49 U.S.C. 30162 and 49 CFR part 552. The Petitioner requested that the Agency initiate a safety defect investigation into model year (MY) 2006 Nissan Frontier vehicles for alleged fuel system leaks and engine stalling. ODI has determined that the issues raised in the Petition are not likely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists. This determination is based on a technical review by ODI of available information, which included: consumer complaints submitted by the petitioner; consumer complaint information in the Agency's databases; and other relevant information in possession of the Agency. As a result, further investigation of the issues raised by the Petition is not warranted and the Agency, accordingly, has denied the Petition.

Clarifying the Scope of “Applicable Requirements” Under State Operating Permit Programs and the Federal Operating Permit Program

Environmental Protection Agency · 2026-09-25

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the title V operating permit program regulations to codify the Agency's existing interpretations and policies concerning when and whether "applicable requirements" established in other Clean Air Act (CAA) programs may be reviewed, modified, and/or implemented through the title V operating permit program. Specifically, this final rule clarifies the limited situations in which requirements under the New Source Review (NSR) preconstruction permitting program would be reviewed using the EPA's title V oversight authorities. Additionally, this final rule clarifies that requirements related to an owner or operator's general duty to prevent accidental releases of hazardous substances are not "applicable requirements" for title V purposes and are, therefore, not implemented through title V.

Notice of Availability for Public Comment; Reconsideration of Air Plan Disapproval; Texas; Control of Air Pollution From Visible Emissions and Particulate Matter

Environmental Protection Agency · 2026-09-24

On August 20, 2020, the State of Texas, through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), submitted a state implementation plan (SIP) to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The SIP submission addressed emissions during planned maintenance, startup, and shutdown (MSS) activities for certain electric generating units (EGUs) and included requirements intended to address visible emissions (opacity) and particulate matter (PM) emissions during planned MSS activities. These requirements were included in eight Agreed Orders (AOs) issued by TCEQ to the affected EGUs, which were provided in the 2020 SIP submission. The EPA disapproved the 2020 SIP submission on December 20, 2024, after determining that the requirements contained in these AOs did not meet the Clean Air Act's (CAA) enforceability requirements or the requirement that emission limitations must apply on a continuous basis. The EPA subsequently granted reconsideration of the disapproval on May 11, 2026. Through this notice of availability, the EPA is providing an opportunity for the public to provide additional information to the Agency during the reconsideration process. Since the EPA disapproved the 2020 SIP submission, TCEQ has rescinded four of the eight AOs. The EPA is soliciting public comments on the impact of these recissions on the EPA's prior evaluation of the SIP submission as well as any other information that would further inform the Agency's reconsideration of the 2024 disapproval action.
