IDCOR - Industry Degraded Core Rulemaking Program. [Pg.462]

In April of 1998, the EPA published a final rule for emission of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbons (EIC), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM), and smoke opacity for newly manufactured and rcmanufacturcd locomotives. The rulemaking took effect in 2000 and is estimated by the EPA to cost the railroads 80 million per year—about 163 per ton of NOx reduced, according to EPA figures. The emissions standards for the several pollutants will be implemented in three tiers—for locomotives... [Pg.730]

Following the implementation of the remedy, the state or the potentially responsible party (PRP) assumes responsibility for the operation and maintenance (O M) of the site, which may include activities such as groundwater pump and treat, and cap maintenance. Once U.S. EPA has determined that all appropriate response actions have been taken and cleanup goals have been achieved, the site is deleted from the NPL through a formal rulemaking process. [Pg.469]

U.S. EPA proposed to significantly impact the RCRA hazardous waste identification process through a rulemaking effort called the Hazardous Waste Identification Rules (H WIR). The first rule, HWIR-media, was finalized on November 30,1998, and addressed contaminated media.16 The second rule, HWIR-waste, was finalized on May 16, 2001, and modified the mixture and derived-from rules, as well as the contained-in policy for listed wastes.5 Both the HWIR-media rule and the HWIR-waste rule attempt to increase flexibility in the hazardous waste identification system by providing a regulatory mechanism for certain hazardous wastes with low concentrations of hazardous constituents to exit the RCRA Subtitle C universe. [Pg.515]

In general, PM emissions limits are established on a per ton of pulp produced basis or for specific processes (e.g., lime kilns, smelt tanks, and recovery furnaces). Certain states have also established opacity limits and performance standards for specific processes. Investigations related to the integrated rulemaking identified 17 states with regulations specific to the pulp and paper industry. [Pg.888]

A National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for new and existing hydrochloric acid process steel pickling lines and HC1 regeneration plants pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in November 1990 has been proposed (62 FR 49051, September 18,1997). The purpose of this rulemaking is to reduce emissions of HC1 by about 8360 megagrams per year. [Pg.1205]

Because the Sixth Amendment itself exempts most of the chemicals that are subject to EPA s current rulemaking, In general the Commission does not need to commence any exemption activities analogous to EPA s efforts. Thus, the EEC s premarket program covers only those new polymers that contain 2% or more of a monomer(s). (Any new monomer iis subject to the notification requirements.) Further, because PMN s must be submitted only for new substances that are "placed on the [Community] market," the EEC s PMN requirements generally do not apply to the manufacture and use of intermediates (or of any other new substances, for that matter) by one company at one site.(13)... [Pg.41]

Preemption. Unlike most other U.S. environmental laws, TSCA is administered and enforced exclusively by EPA. None of its rulemaking or compliance activities are delegated to the States, and TSCA rules generally preempt any comparable state (or local) laws and regulations.(15)... [Pg.41]

OTS has focused its control efforts on two other chemicals in addition to PCBs. Working in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration, EPA used TSCA s Section 6 to prohibit the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as propellants in nonessential aerosol products. An advanced notice of proposed rulemaking under TSCA outlined approaches for restricting other uses of CFCs, but the attempt to deal with other CFC uses has been abandoned by the Reagan Administration. [Pg.218]

Much effort was devoted to considering controls on various uses of asbestos, and in December 1979 an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking solicited views on such controls. NO rules... [Pg.218]

RuleMaker the knowledge acquisition system induces decision trees from examples of expert decision-making, and expresses these decisions trees as executable Radial code. [Pg.20]

RuleMaker is a knowledge extraction utility for building and testing the decision logic contained within Radial modules. The logic is specified as a table of examples of correct expert decisions for each module. RuleMaker transforms each example set into an equivalent decision tree, and automatically generates the body of the module in the form of Radial code. System builders may also choose to enter Radial code directly, although they usually prefer to work with example tables. [Pg.20]

Inductive Learning (RuleMaker). Experts are best able to explain complex concepts to human apprentices implicitly by using examples of the expert s decision-making, rather than by explicitly stating fundamental theoretical principles. The apprentice quickly generalizes these example decisions to form working rules, which he applies when similar situations are encountered. [Pg.20]
