Carbon Black; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of carbon black (CAS Reg. No. 1333-86-4)
under 40 CFR 180.920 when used as an inert ingredient (colorant) in
pesticide formulations applied to seeds used to grow agricultural and
horticultural crops. Becker Underwood, Inc. submitted a petition to EPA
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation
eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of carbon black.

DATES: This regulation is effective August 12, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before October 13, 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).

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate; Exemption From the Requirement of a

requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of sodium lauryl sulfate.

DATES: This regulation is effective August 12, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before October 13, 2009,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40

2008 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
bromonitrostyrene registrants to voluntarily cancel all their
bromonitrostyrene product registrations. These are the last

United States. In the August 27, 2008 Notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order accepting the requests for voluntary cancellation

substantive comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit
its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests within this period. The Agency did not receive
any comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw
their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a
cancellation order accepting the requested cancellations and cancelling
the affected registrations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the
bromonitrostyrene products subject to this cancellation order is
permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including
any existing stocks provisions.

NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL REVIEW BOARD

Notice of Meeting

    Board meeting: September 23, 2009-National Harbor, MD; the U.S.
Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board will meet to discuss the
implications of fuel-cycle technologies for nuclear waste management
and disposal.
    Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203,
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste
Technical Review Board will meet at National Harbor, Maryland, on
Wednesday, September 23, 2009, to discuss the implications of
alternative technological strategies for the management and disposal of
spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The Board will
receive an update on the Fuel Cycle Study being conducted at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a panel of industry
representatives will discuss their proposals to the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) for recycling, reprocessing, and burning spent nuclear
fuel in fast reactors. The Board also has invited a representative of
the Nuclear Energy Agency to present an overview of efforts in other
countries to manage and dispose of nuclear waste.
    Information presented at the meeting will be used by the Board as
part of its ongoing effort to inform Congress, the Secretary of Energy,
and a blue-ribbon commission of technical issues and questions that
should be addressed related to waste-management alternatives. The
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 requires the Board to
conduct an independent review of the technical and scientific validity
of DOE activities related to nuclear waste management, including
transporting, packaging, and disposing of spent nuclear fuel and high-
level radioactive waste.
    The Board meeting will be held at the Gaylord Hotel; 201 Waterfront
Street; National Harbor, MD 20745; (tel.) 301-965-2000, (fax) 301-965-

    A detailed meeting agenda will be available on the Board's Web
site, http: //www.nwtrb.gov, approximately one week before the meeting.
The agenda also may be obtained by telephone
request at that time. The meeting will be open to the public, and
opportunities for public comment will be provided.
    The meeting will begin at 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Time has
been set aside at the end of the day for public comments. Those wanting
to speak are encouraged to sign the ``Public Comment Register'' at the
check-in table. A time limit may have to be set on individual remarks,
but written comments of any length may be submitted for the record.
    Transcripts of the meeting will be available on the Board's Web
site, by e-mail, on computer disk, and on library-loan in paper format
from Davonya Barnes of the Board's staff no later than October 19,
2009.
