Draft Commission Decision amending Annex II to Directive 2000/53/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on end-of-life vehicles

The main objective of this draft Commission Regulation is to set out type-approval requirement for devices or equipment that are designed to reduce the aerodynamic drag of heavy duty vehicles or their trailers and may protrude beyond the outermost part of those vehicles (at the front, back and/or laterally) . Such devices can improve the aerodynamic performance of vehicles and have the potential to provide important benefits in terms of CO2 emission reduction and fuel savings. The proposal also envisages the possibility for extra weight allowance for motor vehicles powered with alternative fuel (e.g. hydrogen , electricity, etc.)

Proposed rule - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing the results of a residual risk and technology review (RTR) of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing (MCM NESHAP) facilities, as required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) . The EPA is proposing to find risks due to emissions of air toxics to be acceptable from the MCM source category and to determine that the current NESHAP provides an ample margin of safety to protect public health. The EPA identified no new cost-effective controls under the technology review to achieve further emissions reductions from process units subject to standards under the NESHAP. The EPA is also proposing revisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM), including clarifying regulatory provisions for certain vent control bypasses; provisions for electronic reporting of performance test results, performance evaluation reports, compliance reports, and Notification of Compliance Status (NOCS) reports; and provisions to conduct periodic performance testing of oxidizers used to reduce emissions of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAP) .

EPA is proposing to revoke the significant new use rule (SNUR) promulgated under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for two chemical substances which were identified generically as metal salts of complex inorganic oxyacids which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) P-89-576 and P-89-577.
