The Environmental Protection Agency has posted two notices with a shared deadline of July 23, 2026. EPA Region 7 is giving public notice of two proposed CERCLA Administrative Settlement Agreements for Recovery of Past Response Costs at the Recycletronics–Akron Farm Facility Superfund Site, located at 16998 160 St., Akron, Iowa; the proposed agreements are with WM Recycle America, L.L.C. and Dynamic Lifecycle Innovations, Inc. Separately, the EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Arizona State Implementation Plan submitted by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, with comments also due July 23, 2026.

The Arizona SIP revision includes statutes and regulations amending the Cleaner Burning Gasoline program, a control measure in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area to reduce emissions of ozone-forming pollutants, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. The revision additionally addresses the Winter Oxygenated Fuel program to control CO emissions in the Tucson area. It also repeals the Arizona Gasoline Set-Aside Program, applicable to the 1971 carbon monoxide nonattainment area covering Maricopa County and a portion of Pima County. The EPA states the revision is administrative in nature and will not impose any additional costs or regulatory burdens.

The Internal Revenue Service, under the Treasury Department, is inviting comments on an information collection request concerning Form 8975 and Schedule A (Form 8975), in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; comments are due August 24, 2026.

On June 9, 2026, the Department of the Air Force signed the Record of Decision for the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Expansion of the Foreign Military Sales F-35 Pilot Training Center at Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

The International Trade Commission has issued a revised schedule for its investigations concerning Chromium Trioxide from India and Turkey; no deadline was specified in the notice.
