Purchasing and Property Management

This proposed rule revises the Legal Services Corporation's (LSC) definition of "capital improvement" by removing the threshold amount of LSC funds that must be expended on an improvement to real estate for the expenditure to qualify as a capital improvement. The proposed amendment would distinguish the definition of a capital improvement from the monetary thresholds required for prior approval; promote consistent tracking and oversight of LSC funds used for capital improvements; and strengthen accountability for LSC funds invested in recipients' real property.

Cost Standards and Procedures; Purchasing and Property Management

This final rule revises the Legal Services Corporation's (LSC or Corporation) regulations governing cost allowability, prior approval requirements, and property and procurement standards applicable to LSC recipients. The final rule clarifies when recipients must obtain prior approval for expenditures of LSC funds; increases the monetary threshold for prior approval; clarifies the treatment of proceeds from fundraising activities supported with LSC funds; provides additional flexibility in LSC's review of prior approval requests; clarifies documentation requirements for prior approval requests; and revises the deadline and requirements for accounting for LSC funds invested in real estate. These amendments are intended to clarify existing requirements, reduce administrative burden, promote consistent oversight and enforcement, and strengthen accountability in the use of Federal funds.

Air Plan Revisions; Arizona; Maricopa County Air Quality Department; New Source Review; Emission Reduction Credits

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve a revision to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD or "Department") portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision establishes a federally enforceable program allowing for the generation of emission reduction credits (ERCs) by retrofitting or replacing existing on-road vehicles with lower emitting vehicles while meeting other Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") requirements. These ERCs are intended to be used as offsets for major stationary sources under the Department's Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) program. The EPA is approving this SIP revision because we find that it meets the applicable CAA requirements.
