The proposal would revise the regulatory definition of "discharge of a pollutant" to reflect and faithfully implement the statutory exclusion of vessels and other floating craft that add pollutants in the contiguous zone or the ocean from inclusion in the definition of "discharge of a pollutant" or "discharge", and thus, from National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program requirements. The proposed rulemaking would also make conforming and clarifying changes to the NPDES regulatory exclusion for vessels and other floating craft. The effect of these changes would be that the addition of pollutants by a vessel or other floating craft in the contiguous zone or the ocean that is not secured to the seabed would not be a discharge and would not require CWA NPDES permit authorization to add pollutants to those waters. - **Comments close** 19 October 2026 (in 45 days) 91 FR 56819 · FR Doc. 2026-18134 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-04/pdf/2026-18134.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/04/2026-18134/updates-to-the-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-definitions-and-exclusions) ### Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) Program: Extension of 2025 Compliance Reporting Deadline *Rule* — Environmental Protection Agency The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) compliance reporting deadline for the 2025 compliance year from September 1, 2026, to October 1, 2026. - **Takes effect** 4 September 2026 (today) 91 FR 56780 · FR Doc. 2026-18132 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-09-04/pdf/2026-18132.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/09/04/2026-18132/renewable-fuel-standard-rfs-program-extension-of-2025-compliance-reporting-deadline) ### 1,2-Dichloropropane Draft Risk Evaluation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Notice of Availability and Request for Comment *Notice* — Environmental Protection Agency The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is announcing the availability of and seeking public comment on a draft risk evaluation under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 1,2- dichloropropane.

The good neighbor provision requires each State's implementation plan to contain adequate provisions prohibiting the interstate transport of air pollution in amounts that will contribute significantly to nonattainment, or interfere with maintenance, of a NAAQS in any other State. In this proposed rulemaking, the EPA is proposing to determine that Mississippi will not contribute significantly to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2010 1-hour SO2 primary NAAQS in any other State. Therefore, the EPA is proposing to approve the January 27, 2022, SIP revision as meeting the requirements of the good neighbor provision for the 2010 1-hour SO2 primary NAAQS. - **Comments close** 17 September 2026 (in 13 days) 91 FR 55305 · FR Doc. 2026-17503 · [official PDF](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-08-27/pdf/2026-17503.pdf) · [federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/08/27/2026-17503/air-plan-approval-mississippi-2010-1-hour-so2-naaqs-transport-infrastructure) ### Air Plan Approval; Kentucky; Cincinnati-Hamilton Area Limited Maintenance Plan for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS *Proposed Rule* — Environmental Protection Agency The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the Energy and Environment Cabinet (Cabinet), Division of Air Quality (Division), on July 23, 2024. The SIP revision consists of a Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) for the Kentucky portion of the tri-state Cincinnati-Hamilton 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area (the "tri-state Cincinnati-Hamilton Area"). The Kentucky portion of the tri-state Cincinnati-Hamilton Area is composed of Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties in Kentucky (hereinafter also referred to as the "Northern Kentucky Area"). The EPA is proposing to approve Kentucky's LMP for the Northern Kentucky Area because it provides for the maintenance of the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) within the tri-state Cincinnati-Hamilton Area through the end of the second 10-year portion of the maintenance period.
