Proposed Suspension and Modification of Nationwide Permit 21

AGENCY: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense,

ACTION: Notice; extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: In the July 15, 2009, issue of the Federal Register (74 FR
34311) the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a proposal to take
two actions concerning Nationwide Permit 21, which authorizes
discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States
for surface coal mining activities. The two proposed actions are to
suspend NWP 21 to prohibit its use to authorize surface coal mining
activities in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, and then to modify NWP 21 to
make that prohibition permanent until NWP 21 expires on March 18, 2012.
The July 15, 2009, notice stated that public comments and any requests
for a public hearing must be received by August 14, 2009. We have received several requests to extend the comment period. We are extending the comment period to September 14, 2009.

DATES: Comments must be received by September 14, 2009.

RIN 0596-AC80

Sale and Disposal of National Forest System Timber; Downpayment
and Periodic Payments

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule revises the Forest Service's downpayment and
periodic payment regulations to reflect changes in contracting
procedures and authorities since these regulations were adopted in
1991. The changes remove obsolete references and procedures; make
downpayments and periodic payments optional for stewardship contracts;
allow downpayment and periodic payment amounts to be recalculated when
contracts receive rate redeterminations; revise procedures for
releasing downpayments; and allow downpayments to be temporarily
reduced for certain delays, interruptions, or extensions. This final
rule protects the Government's financial security, reduces speculative
bidding, and encourages purchasers to harvest timber in a timely
manner. In addition, the rule provides financial relief to timber
purchasers when forest product prices drastically decline or purchasers
receive additional contract time and are not expected to operate.

DATES: This final rule is effective September 14, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lathrop Smith, Forest Management
staff, at (202) 205-0858, or Richard Fitzgerald, Forest Management
staff, at (202) 205-1753. Individuals who use telecommunication devices

NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL REVIEW BOARD

Notice of Meeting

    Board meeting: September 23, 2009-National Harbor, MD; the U.S.
Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board will meet to discuss the
implications of fuel-cycle technologies for nuclear waste management
and disposal.
    Pursuant to its authority under section 5051 of Public Law 100-203,
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste
Technical Review Board will meet at National Harbor, Maryland, on
Wednesday, September 23, 2009, to discuss the implications of
alternative technological strategies for the management and disposal of
spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The Board will
receive an update on the Fuel Cycle Study being conducted at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a panel of industry
representatives will discuss their proposals to the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) for recycling, reprocessing, and burning spent nuclear
fuel in fast reactors. The Board also has invited a representative of
the Nuclear Energy Agency to present an overview of efforts in other
countries to manage and dispose of nuclear waste.
    Information presented at the meeting will be used by the Board as
part of its ongoing effort to inform Congress, the Secretary of Energy,
and a blue-ribbon commission of technical issues and questions that
should be addressed related to waste-management alternatives. The
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987 requires the Board to
conduct an independent review of the technical and scientific validity
of DOE activities related to nuclear waste management, including
transporting, packaging, and disposing of spent nuclear fuel and high-
level radioactive waste.

been set aside at the end of the day for public comments. Those wanting
to speak are encouraged to sign the ``Public Comment Register'' at the
check-in table. A time limit may have to be set on individual remarks,
but written comments of any length may be submitted for the record.

site, by e-mail, on computer disk, and on library-loan in paper format
from Davonya Barnes of the Board's staff no later than October 19,
2009.

Quality Standard: Addressing a Portion of the Phase 2 Ozone
Implementation Rule Concerning Reasonable Further Progress Emissions
Reductions Credits Outside Ozone Nonattainment Areas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to revise a portion of its Phase 2
implementation rule for the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality

voluntary remand from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit. The Court granted EPA's request by
remanding and vacating that portion of the rule. Specifically, this
rule addresses an interpretation that allowed certain credits toward
reasonable further progress (RFP) for the 8-hour standard from
emissions reductions outside the nonattainment area.

DATES: This rule is effective on October 13, 2009.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
