Chlorothalonil; Pesticide Tolerances
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes tolerances for combined residues
of chlorothalonil and its 4-hydroxy metabolite in or on Brassica, head
and stem, subgroup 5A; ginseng; horseradish; lentil; okra; rhubarb;
vegetable, cucurbit, group 9; vegetable, fruiting, group 8, except
tomato; and yam, true. It also establishes a tolerance with regional
registration for combined residues of chlorothalonil and its metabolite
on persimmon and removes existing tolerances for combined residues of
chlorothalonil and its metabolite on broccoli, brussels sprouts,
cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, melon, non-bell pepper, pumpkin, summer
squash, and winter squash; as well as the time-limited tolerance on
ginseng. These tolerances are no longer needed, since they are
superseded by the new tolerances on Brassica, cucurbit and fruiting
vegetables and the permanent tolerance on ginseng. Interregional
Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) requested these tolerances under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
DATES: This regulation is effective December 3, 2008. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before February 2, 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-2007-1106. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://

Formaldehyde Emissions From Pressed Wood Products
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking and notice of public
meetings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 24, 2008, EPA received a Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) section 21 petition from numerous organizations and individuals
concerned about risks to human health and the environment from exposure
to formaldehyde in composite wood products, specifically hardwood
plywood, particleboard, and medium density fiberboard. In response to
that petition, EPA decided to initiate a proceeding to investigate
whether and what type of regulatory or other action might be
appropriate to protect against risks posed by formaldehyde emitted from
these and other pressed wood products. This document commences that
proceeding by describing EPA's initial steps in that investigation and
requesting comment, information, and data relating to formaldehyde
emissions from pressed wood products. This document also announces five
public meetings that EPA has scheduled in order to obtain additional
stakeholder input.

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing that the comment period on the proposed rule
for Performance Specification 17, ``Specifications and Test Procedures
for Continuous Parameter Monitoring Systems at Stationary Sources'' and
Procedure 4, ``Quality Assurance Requirements for Continuous Parameter
Monitoring Systems at Stationary Sources'' published on October 9,
2008, is extended to February 5, 2009. This comment period extension
also applies to the amendments proposed along with Performance
Specification 17 and Procedure 4 for continuous parameter monitoring
systems. EPA received requests for an extension to the comment period
from the American Chemistry Council and the Coalition for Responsible
Waste Incineration.
The reason given for the request for the extension was the need for
additional time to review the proposed rules and assess their impact on
subject sources. Since the additional time is expected to afford
commenters the ability to prepare and submit more comprehensive and
detailed comments, EPA finds the requests for an extension of the
comment period reasonable.
One commenter also requested a 60-day extension to the deadline for
requesting a public hearing on the proposed rule. No specific,
compelling reason was provided for granting this request; therefore EPA
finds the request for extending the deadline for requesting a public
hearing on the proposal not reasonable.
DATES: Comments: Comments on the proposed rule must be received on or
before February 5, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-

ANNOUNCEMENT 8
Subject: TOXICS - ND. EPA. Malathion; Amendments to Terminate Uses
[Federal Register: December 3, 2008 (Volume 73, Number 233)]

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0837; FRL-8391-2]
Malathion; Amendments to Terminate Uses
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the amendments to
terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by
the Agency, of products containing the pesticide malathion, pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended.
This cancellation order follows an October 8, 2008 Federal Register
Notice of Receipt of Request (73 FR 58952) (FRL-8384-1) from the
malathion registrant to voluntarily terminate uses of their malathion
product registrations. For the affected product registrations, this
cancellation order terminates malathion use in or on commercial
storage/warehouse 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. These are
not the last malathion products registered for use in the United
States. In the October 8, 2008 Notice, EPA indicated that it would
issue an order implementing the amendment to terminate uses, unless the
Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period
that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the
registrant withdrew their request within this period. The Agency
received comments on the notice but none merited its further review of
the requests. Further, the registrant did not withdraw their request.
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested amendments to terminate uses. Any distribution,
sale, or use of the malathion products subject to this cancellation
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations are effective December 3, 2008.
