Draft Problem Formulation for Human Health Risk Assessments of
Pathogens in Land-Applied Biosolids
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Public Comment Period and External Peer-Review
Workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. EPA is announcing the release of a pre-dissemination,
external review draft titled, ``Problem Formulation for Human Health
Risk Assessments of Pathogens in Land-applied Biosolids'' (EPA/600/R-
08/035A), for both public comment and external peer review. The public
comment period will span 45 days. Eastern Research Group (ERG), under
contract with EPA, will convene an independent panel of experts and

draft document. Both the U.S. EPA and ERG invite the public to register
to attend this workshop. Additional information regarding both
submissions and registration is provided in the remainder of the
document.
The public comment period and the external peer-review workshop are
separate processes that provide opportunities for all interested
parties to comment on the document. In addition to consideration by
EPA, all public comments submitted in accordance with this notice will
also be forwarded to the external peer-review panel for review prior to
the workshop.
EPA is releasing this draft document solely for the purpose of pre-

Coordination of Federal Authorizations for Electric Transmission
Facilities
AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability,
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to amend an
interim final rule published elsewhere in today's Federal Register that
establishes procedures for DOE coordination of all applicable Federal
authorizations for the siting of interstate electric transmission
facilities and related environmental reviews pursuant to section 216(h)
of the Federal Power Act (FPA). This proposed rule would clarify a
provision in section 216(h) that provides that the Secretary of Energy
shall ensure that once an application for coordination has been
submitted with such data as the Secretary considers necessary, all
Federal authorization decisions and related environmental reviews under
Federal laws must be completed within one year, or as soon thereafter
as practicable in compliance with Federal law. The proposed rule also
would require permitting agencies to inform DOE of requests for
authorizations required under Federal law for the siting of significant
facilities used for the transmission of electricity in interstate
commerce, and it provides that DOE, as authorized by section 216(h),
may establish intermediate milestones and ultimate deadlines for the
review of such Federal authorization applications and decisions.
DATES: Public comment on this proposed rule will be accepted until
November 3, 2008. See section III of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section of this notice for additional information about public comment
procedures.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 1901-AB18, by any
of the following methods:
1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
2. E-mail to SEC216h@hq.doe.gov. Include RIN 1901-AB18 in the
