| E7-24242 | Exceptional Events Rule; Notice of Action Denying Petition for Reconsideration | Rule | The EPA is providing notice that it has responded to a petition for reconsideration of the Exceptional Events Rule (EER). On March 22, 2007, EPA finalized a rule in the Federal Register to govern the review and handling of air quality monitoring data influenced by exceptional events. Section 319 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended by section 6013 of the Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient- Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFE-TEA-LU) of 2005 required the Administrator to publish a proposed rule in the Federal Register by March 1, 2006. Further, SAFE-TEA-LU required the EPA Administrator to publish a final rule within 1 year of the proposal. The final rule on the "Treatment of Data Influenced by Exceptional Events" became effective on May 21, 2007. Subsequent to the publication of this action, a petition for reconsideration from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) was received by EPA on May 21, 2007, signed by John D. Walke; Director, Clean Air Program; Natural Resources Defense Council; 1200 New York Avenue, NW., Suite 400, Washington, DC 20005-3928. The EPA considered the petition and supporting information along with information contained in the rulemaking docket (Docket number EPA-HQ-OAR-2005-0159-0163) in reaching a decision on the petitions. EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson denied the petition for reconsideration in a letter to the petitioner dated November 5, 2007. The letter documents EPA's reasons for the denial. | 2007-12-14 | 2007 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/12/14/E7-24242/exceptional-events-rule-notice-of-action-denying-petition-for-reconsideration | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-12-14/pdf/E7-24242.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is providing notice that it has responded to a petition for reconsideration of the Exceptional Events Rule (EER).
