Inert Ingredient: Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
for (S,S)-Ethylenediaminedisuccinic Acid
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of (S,S)-Ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid
(CAS Reg. No. 20846-91-7) ((S,S)-EDDS) when used as an inert ingredient
sequestrant or chelating agent in pesticide formulations applied to
growing crops only under 40 CFR 180.920. Associated Octel Company,
Limited, submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of
1996 (FQPA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum
permissible level for residues of (S,S)-Ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid.
DATES: This regulation is effective November 14, 2008. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before January 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).

identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0250. To access the
electronic docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, select ``Advanced

National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Minor Correction to
Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule and Changes in
References to Analytical Methods
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this action, EPA is proposing to make a minor correction to
the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR) and
make minor, unrelated, changes in references to expedited, alternative
methods and other analytical methods in the regulations. EPA
promulgated the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfectant Byproducts Rule
on January 4, 2006. A requirement for ground water systems serving 500-
9,999 people was unintentionally excluded from the final rule. As a
result, the rule allowed for less routine compliance monitoring than
intended for this category of Public Water Systems (PWSs). These PWSs
should have been required to monitor for both total trihalomethanes
(TTHM) and haloacetic acids (HAA5) concentrations at two locations. Due
to the error, they were only required to monitor for either TTHM or
HAA5 at two locations. EPA is also proposing to make minor, unrelated
changes in the CFR by adding references to the list of methods approved
under the Expedited Approval Process, removing references to outdated
methods, and specifying a new source for the publication titled
Technical Notes on Drinking Water Methods.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 13, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
2008-0644, by one of the following methods:

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide naphthalene. The Agency's
risk assessments and other related documents also are available in the
naphthalene Docket. Naphthalene is an insecticide used primarily as a
moth repellant. EPA has reviewed naphthalene through the public
participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in
developing pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment
decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides
meet current health and safety standards.
