Control of Emissions From Nonroad Spark-Ignition Engines and
Equipment
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are setting emission standards for new nonroad spark-
ignition engines that will substantially reduce emissions from these
engines. The exhaust emission standards apply starting in 2010 for new
marine spark-ignition engines, including first-time EPA standards for
sterndrive and inboard engines. The exhaust emission standards apply
starting in 2011 and 2012 for different sizes of new land-based, spark-
ignition engines at or below 19 kilowatts (kW). These small engines are
used primarily in lawn and garden applications. We are also adopting
evaporative emission standards for vessels and equipment using any of
these engines. In addition, we are making other minor amendments to our
regulations.
We estimate that by 2030, this rule will result in significantly
reduced pollutant emissions from regulated engine and equipment
sources, including estimated annual nationwide reductions of 604,000
tons of volatile organic hydrocarbon emissions, 132,200 tons of
NOX emissions, and 5,500 tons of directly-emitted
particulate matter (PM2.5 ) emissions. These reductions
correspond to significant reductions in the formation of ground-level
ozone. We also expect to see annual reductions of 1,461,000 tons of
carbon monoxide emissions, with the greatest reductions in areas where
there have been problems with individual exposures. The requirements in
this rule will substantially benefit public health and welfare and the
environment. We estimate that by 2030, on an annual basis, these
emission reductions will prevent 230 PM-related premature deaths,
between 77 and 350 ozone-related premature deaths, approximately 1,700
hospitalizations and emergency room visits, 23,000 work days lost,
180,000 lost school days, 590,000 acute respiratory symptoms, and other
quantifiable benefits every year. The total annual benefits of this
rule in 2030 are estimated to be between $1.8 billion and $4.4 billion,
assuming a 3% discount rate. The total annual benefits of this rule in
2030 are estimated to be between $1.6 billion and $4.3 billion,
assuming a 7% discount rate. Estimated costs in 2030 are many times
less at approximately $190 million.
DATES: This rule is effective on December 8, 2008. The incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this regulation is approved
by the Director of the Federal Register as of December 8, 2008.

Malathion; Notice of Receipt of Request to Amend to Terminate
Uses of Certain Pesticide Registrations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of a request by the technical registrant to
voluntarily amend their registrations to terminate uses of certain
products containing the pesticide malathion. The request would
terminate malathion use in or on commercial storages/warehouses
premises (excluding stored grain facilities such as silos), commercial
transportation facilities - feed/food - empty, commercial
transportation facilities - nonfeed/nonfood, commercial/institutional/
industrial premises/equipment (indoor), commercial/institutional/
industrial premises/equipment (outdoor), dairies/cheese processing
plant equipment (food contact), eating establishments, food processing
plants (excluding stored grain facilities such as silos), golf course
turf, greenhouse - empty, indoor hard surfaces, indoor premises,
residential dust formulations, residential lawns (broadcast),
residential pressurized can formulations, and sewage systems. The
request would not terminate the last malathion products registered for
use in the United States. EPA intends to grant this request at the
close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency
receives substantive comments within the comment period that would
merit its further review of the request, or unless the registrant
withdraws their request within this period. Upon acceptance of this
request, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Forest Service
National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council
AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Preannouncement of 2009 Urban and Community Forestry Grant
Process.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Urban and Community Foresty Advisory Council,
(NUCFAC), is charged, by law, to provide recommendations to the
Secretary of Agriculture on urban forestry related issues and
opportunities. Part of the Council's role is to recommend the criteria
for the U.S. Forest Service's Urban and Community Forestry, (U&CF)
Challenge Cost Share Grant Program.
NUCFAC is revising their criteria for the U.S. Forest Service's
U&CF Challenge Cost Share Grant Program for 2009. The new U&CF
Challenge Cost Share Grant Program is designed to reflect this change,
and implement new procedures that reduce the paperwork burden on
potential grantees. Grants for 2009 will be solicited in two
categories:
Innovation Grants
NUCFAC anticipates recommending a small number of significant
grants intended to address, on a national or regional level, the
highest priority issues confronting the UC&F community. NUCFAC will
seek proposals from organizations and partnerships that demonstrate the
reach, resources and expertise needed to deliver meaningful, replicable
results. As much as $500,000 would be available in 2009 for one or more
Innovation Grants.
NUCFAC is in the process of identifying priority issues that might
be addressed through Innovation Grants in 2009. Please forward any
suggestions to Nancy Stremple, nstremple@fs.fed.us by close of
business, (C.O.B.), October 30, 2008.
2009 Best Practices Grants
Smaller grants up to $50,000 for organizations that can implement,
demonstrate, and disseminate replicable approaches to:
Recruit advocates for urban forestry;
Make best practices/latest science in urban forestry
accessible to practitioners;
Nurture networks of urban forestry practitioners within
existing conservation, organizations, professional societies, social
networks, and internet communities; and
Address other challenges to the U&CF community.
DATES: Suggestions are due by close of business, (C.O.B.), October 30,
2008.
ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning this announcement should be
addressed to Nancy Stremple, Executive Staff to National Urban and

National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council
AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.
ACTION: Preannouncement of 2009 Urban and Community Forestry Grant
Process.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Urban and Community Foresty Advisory Council,
(NUCFAC), is charged, by law, to provide recommendations to the
Secretary of Agriculture on urban forestry related issues and
opportunities. Part of the Council's role is to recommend the criteria
for the U.S. Forest Service's Urban and Community Forestry, (U&CF)
Challenge Cost Share Grant Program.
NUCFAC is revising their criteria for the U.S. Forest Service's
U&CF Challenge Cost Share Grant Program for 2009. The new U&CF
Challenge Cost Share Grant Program is designed to reflect this change,
and implement new procedures that reduce the paperwork burden on
potential grantees. Grants for 2009 will be solicited in two
categories:
Innovation Grants
NUCFAC anticipates recommending a small number of significant
grants intended to address, on a national or regional level, the
highest priority issues confronting the UC&F community. NUCFAC will
seek proposals from organizations and partnerships that demonstrate the
reach, resources and expertise needed to deliver meaningful, replicable
results. As much as $500,000 would be available in 2009 for one or more
Innovation Grants.
NUCFAC is in the process of identifying priority issues that might
be addressed through Innovation Grants in 2009. Please forward any
suggestions to Nancy Stremple, nstremple@fs.fed.us by close of
business, (C.O.B.), October 30, 2008.
2009 Best Practices Grants
Smaller grants up to $50,000 for organizations that can implement,
demonstrate, and disseminate replicable approaches to:
accessible to practitioners;
existing conservation, organizations, professional societies, social
networks, and internet communities; and
DATES: Suggestions are due by close of business, (C.O.B.), October 30,
2008.
