Modification of Significant New Uses of 2-Propen-1-one, 1-(4-
morpholinyl)-

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is
proposing to amend the significant new use rule (SNUR) for 2-Propen-1-
one, 1-(4-morpholinyl)- (CAS No. 5117-12-4) to allow certain uses
without requiring a significant new use notice (SNUN). EPA
is proposing this amendment based on review of new toxicity test data
and receipt of a SNUN for this chemical substance. The proposed amended
SNUR would continue to require a SNUN for new uses that may involve
significant changes in human exposure.

consumption standards for commercial medium- and heavy-duty on-highway
vehicles and work trucks (``HD vehicles''), which NHTSA recently
proposed pursuant to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.
NHTSA invites Federal, State, and local agencies, Indian tribes, and
the public to submit written comments on the DEIS using the
instructions set forth in this notice. To facilitate review of the
DEIS, NHTSA has posted the DEIS on its Web site (http://www.nhtsa.gov/
fuel-economy
) and placed it in the agency's docket, identified by the
docket number at the beginning of this notice. NHTSA will consider all
public comments received on the DEIS in preparing final NEPA documents
to support final fuel consumption standards, which NHTSA plans to issue
next year.

DATES: To ensure that NHTSA has the opportunity to consider comments on
the DEIS, NHTSA must receive written comments by January 3, 2011. NHTSA
will try to consider comments received after that date to the extent
the NEPA and rulemaking schedules allow, but NHTSA cannot ensure that
it will be able to do so.

Hazardous Waste Management System; Proposed Exclusion for
Identifying and Listing Hazardous Waste

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA (also, ``the Agency'' or ``we'' in this preamble) is
proposing to grant a petition submitted by Owosso Graphic Arts Inc.
(Owosso), in Owosso Michigan to exclude (or ``delist'') up to 244 cubic
yards of wastewater treatment sludge per year from the list of
hazardous wastes.
    The Agency has tentatively decided to grant the petition based on
an evaluation of waste-specific information provided by Owosso. This
proposed decision, if finalized, conditionally excludes the petitioned
waste from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
    We conclude that Owosso's petitioned waste is nonhazardous with
respect to the original listing criteria and that there are no other
factors which would cause the waste to be hazardous when disposed of in
a Subtitle D landfill which is permitted, licensed, or registered by a
State to manage industrial solid waste.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 6, 2010.
Requests for an informal hearing must reach EPA by November 19, 2010.

[Federal Register: November 4, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 213)]
[Proposed Rules]

Regulation To Mitigate the Misfueling of Vehicles and Engines
With Gasoline Containing Greater Than Ten Volume Percent Ethanol and
Modifications to the Reformulated and Conventional Gasoline Programs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a regulatory program to help mitigate the
potential for misfueling of certain engines, vehicles and equipment
with gasoline containing greater than 10 volume percent (``vol%'')
ethanol up to 15 vol% ethanol (E15). This proposal is in conjunction
with the Agency's partial waiver, pursuant to Clean Air Act section
211(f)(4), which allows for the introduction into commerce of gasoline-
ethanol blends containing up to 15 vol% ethanol for use in model year
2007 and newer on-highway light-duty motor vehicles. The E15 waiver is
limited in scope to a portion of the light-duty fleet, and the proposed
misfueling mitigation program will help avoid the misfueling of all
other engines, vehicles, and equipment with unapproved fuels. This
proposed rule would require all E15 gasoline fuel dispensers to have a
label if a retail station chooses to sell E15 and seeks comment on
separate labeling requirements for fuel blender pumps and fuel pumps
that dispense E85. Similar to the prohibition in section 211(f)(1), the
proposed rule would prohibit the use of gasoline containing greater
than 10 vol% ethanol in vehicles and engines not covered by the partial
waiver for E15. In addition, the proposed rule would require product
transfer documents specifying ethanol content and Reid Vapor Pressure
(RVP) to accompany the transfer of gasoline blended with ethanol and a
national survey of retail stations to ensure compliance with the these
requirements. The proposed rule would also modify the Reformulated
Gasoline (``RFG'') program by updating the Complex Model to allow fuel
manufacturers to certify batches of gasoline containing up to 15 vol%
ethanol.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 3, 2011. Under
the Paperwork Reduction Act, comments on the information collection
provisions are best assured of full consideration if the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) receives a copy of your comments on or
before December 6, 2010, thirty days after date of publication in the
Federal Register.
    Hearing: We will hold a public hearing on November 16, 2010 at the
Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel in Chicago, IL. The hearing will start
at 10 a.m. local time and continue until everyone has had a chance to
speak. If you want to testify at the hearing, notify the contact person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT by November 8, 2010.

Partial Grant and Partial Denial of Clean Air Act Waiver
Application Submitted by Growth Energy To Increase the Allowable
Ethanol Content of Gasoline to 15 Percent; Decision of the
Administrator

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of partial waiver decision.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is partially
granting Growth Energy's waiver request application submitted under
section 211(f)(4) of the Clean Air Act. This partial waiver allows fuel
and fuel additive manufacturers to introduce into commerce gasoline
that contains greater than 10 volume percent ethanol and no more than
15 volume percent ethanol (E15) for use in certain motor vehicles if
certain conditions are fulfilled. We are partially approving the waiver
for and allowing the introduction into commerce of E15 for use only in
model year 2007 and newer light-duty motor vehicles, which includes
passenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles.
We are denying the waiver for introduction of E15 for use in model year
2000 and older light-duty motor vehicles, as well as all heavy-duty
gasoline engines and vehicles, highway and off-highway motorcycles, and
nonroad engines, vehicles, and equipment. The Agency is deferring a
decision on the applicability of a waiver to model year 2001 through
2006 light-duty motor vehicles until additional test data, currently
under development, is available.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0211. All documents and public comments in the

Availability of a Draft for Weight-of-Evidence Guidance Document:
Evaluating Results of EDSP Tier 1 Screening To Identify Candidate
Chemicals for Tier 2 Testing

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the availability for public review and
comment of a draft guidance document titled, ``Weight-of-Evidence
Guidance Document: Evaluating Results of EDSP Tier 1 Screening to
Identify Candidate Chemicals for Tier 2 Testing.'' This action is in
compliance with a directive from the House Appropriations Committee FY
2010 Report directing the EPA to develop and publish criteria by
October 30, 2010, for evaluating results of Tier 1 screening and
determining whether a chemical should undergo Tier 2 analysis. The
purpose of the weight-of-evidence (WoE) document is to set forth some
of the general principles, criteria, and considerations EPA generally
believes to be relevant under a WoE approach for evaluating data
submitted as part of EPA's two-tiered paradigm for screening and
testing chemicals for endocrine activity (i.e., estrogen, androgen, and
thyroid hormonal systems; E, A, and T) under the EDSP. This document
provides a transparent scientific approach for broadly evaluating Tier
1 screening data to detect an interaction with E, A, and/or T hormonal
systems and determine if additional Tier 2 testing is necessary.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 3, 2011.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Forest Service, Hiawatha National Forest, Escanaba, MI and University
of Michigan, Museum of Anthropology, Ann Arbor, MI

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human remains in the control of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Hiawatha National Forest,
Escanaba, MI, and in the physical custody of the University of
Michigan, Museum of Anthropology, Ann Arbor, MI. The human remains were
removed from Naomikong Point Site, Chippewa County, MI.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and
43 CFR 10.11(d). The determinations in this notice are the sole
responsibility of the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has
control of the Native American human remains. The National Park Service
is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the Bay Mills Indian Community,
Michigan; Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Michigan;
Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa
Indians, Michigan; Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of
Michigan; and Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan.
    In 1966, human remains representing a minimum of one individual
were removed from the Naomikong Point Site (20CH2), Chippewa County,
MI, during excavations by the University of Michigan. This site is on
Federal land, and excavation occurred under a U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, Special Use Permit. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
    Based on archeological context, the human remains are identified as
more likely than not Native American.
    Officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service,
have determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a relationship of
shared group identity cannot be reasonably traced between the Native
American human remains and any present-day Indian Tribe.
    These Native American human remains are from the aboriginal lands
of the Chippewa and Ottawa. According to the Treaty of Washington,
March 28, 1836 (7 stat. 491), there are five present-day Indian Tribes
that have aboriginal land in the area where the remains were excavated.
These five Tribes are the Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan; Grand
Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little River
Band of Ottawa Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa
Indians, Michigan; and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians
of Michigan. The aboriginal land Tribes that are in closest proximity
to the site are the Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan, and Sault
Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan. Letters of support
for the disposition of the Native American human remains to the Bay
Mills Indian Community, Michigan, and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of
Chippewa Indians of Michigan were sent by the Bay Mills Indian
Community, Michigan; Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa
Indians, Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux
Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan; Sault Ste. Marie Tribe
of Chippewa Indians of Michigan; and Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of
Michigan. Therefore, officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Forest Service, will transfer the Native American human remains from
the Naomikong Point Site to the Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan,
and Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan.
    Officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service,
determined, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described
above represent the physical remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry. Lastly, officials of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service, have determined, pursuant to 43 CFR
10.11(c)(1), the disposition of the human remains is to the Bay Mills
Indian Community, Michigan, and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians of Michigan.
    Representatives of any Indian Tribe that believes itself to be
culturally affiliated with the human remains or any other Indian Tribe
that believes it satisfies the criteria in 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1) should
contact Teresa Chase, Acting Forest Supervisor, Hiawatha National
Forest, 2727 N. Lincoln Road, Escanaba, MI 49829, telephone (906) 786-
4062, before December 6, 2010. Disposition of the human remains to the
Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan, and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of
Chippewa Indians of Michigan, may proceed after that date if no
additional requestors come forward.
    The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, is responsible
for notifying the Bay Mills Indian Community, Michigan; Grand Traverse
Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Michigan; Keweenaw Bay Indian
Community, Michigan; Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa
Indians, Michigan; Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan; Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan; and
Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan, that this notice has been
published.

[Notices]

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion: Western Michigan University,
Anthropology Department, Kalamazoo, MI

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    Notice is here given in accordance with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary
objects in the possession of Western Michigan University, Anthropology
Department, Kalamazoo, MI. The human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Mackinac County, MI.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Western
Michigan University professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians,
Michigan, and the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians of
Michigan.
    In 1973, human remains representing a minimum of eight individuals
were removed from the Gyftakis site (20MK51), St. Ignace, Moran
Township, Mackinac County, MI, during an archeological excavation
directed by Dr. James Fitting. The human remains were transferred to
Western Michigan University for curation and further analysis. The 20
associated funerary objects are 8 black bear scapula and fragments, 1
black bear atlas, 1 black bear proximal femur head, 1 large bird long
bone shaft, 1 possible black bear phalanx, 1 possible crane
carpometacarpus, 1 raptor carpometacarpus, 1 possible small bird long
bone, 1 unidentified non-human cranium fragment, 2 bird or small mammal
long bones and 2 probable bird phalanxes.
    In 1972, Middle Woodland period ceramic sherds were found during
test excavations for the St. Ignace Archaeological Survey Project,
which prompted the archeological survey. The burials were found to be
in good condition. Dr. Robert Sundick, a physical anthropologist in the
Anthropology Department at Western Michigan University, studied the
remains. Native American ancestry was determined based on the temporal
association of the Gyftakis Site to the Middle Woodland period (A.D.
170), radiocarbon dating of a sample from an associated hearth and AMS
date of ceramic pot residue. Additionally, seriation of the pottery and
lithic tools discovered at the Gyftakis Site, but which are not
associated funerary objects, are indicative of the Middle Woodland
period and are clearly of pre-Contact/European manufacturing.
    According to oral tradition, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa
Indians have occupied the St. Ignace area for numerous generations
preceding European arrival into the Great Lakes. The archeological
evidence of pre-historic Native American occupation of the Gyftakis
site supports the Odawa oral histories. In 1615, the French were the
first Europeans to record the Odawa in the Great Lakes. Since this
first encounter in the early 17th century to the present-day, the Odawa
have a long, documented history at St. Ignace and the surrounding
Mackinac region.
    Officials of Western Michigan University have determined, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described above represent the
physical remains of eight individuals of Native American ancestry.
Officials of Western Michigan University also have determined, pursuant
to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 20 objects described above are reasonably
believed to have been placed with or near individual human remains at
the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony.
Lastly, officials of Western Michigan University have determined,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced between the Native American
human remains and associated funerary objects and the Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan.
    Representatives of any other Indian Tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains and associated funerary
objects should contact LouAnn Wurst, Department of Anthropology,
Western Michigan University, 1005 Moore Hall, Kalamazoo, MI 49008,
telephone (269) 387-2753, before December 6, 2010. Repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary objects to the Little Traverse
Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan, may proceed after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
    Western Michigan University is responsible for notifying the Little
Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Michigan, and the Sault Ste. Marie
Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Michigan, that this notice has been
published.
