; EPA Posts Peer Review of Renewable Fuel Standards Lifecycle Analysis. The peer review of the renewable fuel standards lifecycle analysis is now available online. In May, Administrator Jackson announced the lifecycle analysis would be peer reviewed when the agency proposed its overall strategy for increasing the supply of renewable fuels. www.epa.gov/otaq/renewablefuels/index.htm EPA to Reconsider Monitoring Requirements for Airborne Lead EPA revised its air quality monitoring requirements for lead in 2008, at the same time the agency tight- ened the national air quality standards for lead for the first time in 30 years. The current rule requires air quality monitoring in areas where any industry emits at least one ton of lead to the air each year, and in the 101 urban areas with populations of 500,000 or more. EPA will consider whether addi- tional monitoring near industrial sources of lead is warranted. The agency also will reconsider the mon- itoring requirements for urban areas as part of its review. EPA is not reconsidering the lead standards. The agency anticipates issuing a proposal for public review and comment later this summer, and a final rule in early spring 2010. More information: http://www.epa.gov/air/lead/ EPA Seeks Comments on its Reevaluation of the Chemical Perchlorate Under the previous administration, EPA made a pre- liminary decision not to regulate perchlorate. Administrator Jackson directed EPA staff to review that decision and, as part of that review, the agency is putting special emphasis on evaluating the impact of perchlorate on infants and young children. EPA is now considering a broader range of alterna- tives for interpreting the available data on the level of health concern, the frequency of occurrence of perchlorate in drinking water, and the opportunity for health risk reduction through a national primary drinking water standard. In response to a 2008 preliminary determination not to regulate perchlorate, EPA received and reviewed comments from more than 32,000 individuals and organizations. EPA will consider those comments, as well as new comments received during the 30- day comment period on the current notice, before making a final decision on whether to regulate per- chlorate under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The current notice will be available for public com- ment 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. More information: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/contaminants/unre gulated/ perchlorate.html
