Diflubenzuron; Pesticide Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for
combined residues of diflubenzuron and its metabolites p-
chlorophenylurea and p-chloroaniline in or on alfalfa, forage and

emergency exemption under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of the pesticide
on alfalfa and mixed grass/alfalfa fields. This regulation establishes
a maximum permissible level for residues of diflubenzuron and its
metabolites p-chlorophenylurea and p-chloroaniline, in these food
commodities. The time-limited tolerances expire and are revoked on
December 31, 2011.

DATES: This regulation is effective November 28, 2008. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before January 27, 2009,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the
Construction and Development Point Source Category

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing a regulation
that would strengthen the existing regulatory program for discharges
from construction sites by establishing technology-based Effluent
Limitations Guidelines and New Source Performance Standards for the
Construction and Development (C&D) point source category. This
proposal, if implemented, would significantly reduce the amount of
sediment and other pollutants discharged from construction sites. EPA
estimates that this proposed rule would cost $1.9 billion dollars per
year with annual monetized benefits of $332.9 million. This proposed
rule requests comment and information on the proposed regulation and an
alternate option with a different numeric limit based on different
technologies, as well as specific aspects of the proposal such as
technologies, costs, loading reductions, and economic achievability.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 26, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
2008-0465, by one of the following methods:

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: The 2009 Critical Use
Exemption From the Phaseout of Methyl Bromide

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing an exemption to the phaseout of methyl
bromide to meet the needs of 2009 critical uses. Specifically, EPA is

amount of methyl bromide that may be produced, imported, or supplied
from existing pre-phaseout inventory for those uses in 2009. EPA is
taking action under the authority of the Clean Air Act to reflect a
recent consensus decision taken by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol
on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer at the Nineteenth Meeting of
the Parties. EPA is seeking comment on the list of critical uses and on
EPA's determination of the amounts of methyl bromide needed to satisfy
those uses.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by December 29, 2008. Any party
requesting a public hearing must notify the contact person listed below
by 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on December 3, 2008. If a hearing is

Decision Update: Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule and update and proposed revision of waste
confidence decision; Extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 9, 2008, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
published for public comment a proposal to amend its generic
determination of no significant environmental impact for the temporary
storage of spent fuel after cessation of reactor operation codified at
10 CFR 51.23(a) (73 FR 59547) and a related update and proposed
revision of its 1990 Waste Confidence Decision (73 FR 59551). The
comment period for this proposed rule and for the proposed revisions of
its Waste Confidence Decision was to have expired on December 8, 2008.
A number of requests for extension of the comment period have been
received. The NRC has decided to extend the comment period for an
additional 60 days.

DATES: The comment period has been extended and now expires on February
6, 2009. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is
practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration
only for comments received before this date.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any one of the following methods.
Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be made
available for public inspection. Because your comments will not be
edited to remove any identifying or contact information, the NRC
cautions you against including any information in your submission that
you do not want to be publicly disclosed.
