40 CFR Part 180
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0312; FRL-8414-6]
Triflumizole; Pesticide Tolerances
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes tolerances for combined residues
of triflumizole and its metabolites containing the 4-chloro-2-
trifluoromethylaniline (FA-1-1) moiety, calculated as the parent
compound, in or on leafy greens subgroup 4A, except spinach; Brassica,
head and stem, subgroup 5A; Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B;
cilantro leaves; Swiss chard; pineapple; papaya; black sapote;
canistel; mamey sapote; mango; sapodilla; star apple; hops, dried
cones; and turnip greens. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-
4) requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). This regulation also deletes the following time-
limited tolerances, as permanent tolerances supersede them: Collards,
kale and mustard greens, as residues on these commodities will be
covered by the Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B tolerance; broccoli,
since residues will be covered by the Brassica, head and stem, subgroup
5A tolerance; dandelion leaves and parsley leaves, since residues will
be covered by the leafy greens subgroup 4A tolerance; Swiss chard and
turnip greens, as the time-limited tolerances will be superseded by
permanent tolerances; and coriander leaves, as the cilantro leaves
tolerance supersedes it and is the preferred commodity definition.
DATES: This regulation is effective June 3, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before August 3, 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).

ACTION: Notice of data availability and request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is announcing the
availability of an environmental assessment (EA) to accompany its

conservation standards for certain commercial and industrial equipment,
including commercial heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating
equipment, published in the Federal Register on March 20, 2009.
Specifically, this EA includes a concise examination of the impacts of
emission reductions likely to result from the proposed standards for
commercial packaged boilers and water-cooled and evaporatively-cooled
commercial package air conditioners and heat pumps with a cooling
capacity at or above 240,000 Btu/h and less than 760,000 Btu/h. The EA
has been incorporated as Chapter 8 in the NOPR technical support
document (TSD). In addition, Chapter 9 of the NOPR TSD provides the
results of DOE's monetization analysis of these potential emission
reductions. These materials are available online (see ADDRESSES). DOE
specifically requests that interested members of the public, Tribes,
and States comment on the EA.
DATES: DOE will accept comments, data, and information regarding the
subject matter of this NODA submitted no later than June 18, 2009.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2009-0222]
Scoping Summary Report for the Update of the Generic
Environmental Impact Statement for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants
(NUREG-1437)
On June 3, 2003 (68 FR 33209), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) issued, for public comment, a Notice of Intent to
prepare an Update of the Generic Environmental Impact Statement for
License Renewal of Nuclear Plants (GEIS), NUREG-1437. In accordance
with 10 CFR 51.26, the NRC conducted scoping meetings and collected
comments from the public for the Update to the License Renewal GEIS,
NUREG-1437. Subsequently, the Commission reopened scoping with a notice
published in the Federal Register on October 3, 2005 (70 FR 57628) to
encompass any additional comments since the original issuance of the
Notice of Intent.
The NRC conducted a public scoping meeting in each of the four NRC
regions for the License Renewal GEIS update. The public scoping
meetings were held in Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Anaheim,
California; and Boston, Massachusetts. The NRC issued public scoping
meeting summaries on August 12 and 13, 2003. The official transcripts
from the public scoping meetings, written comments, and meeting
summaries are available electronically for public inspection in the NRC
Public Document Room (PDR) or from the NRC's Agencywide Documents
Access and Management System (ADAMS) under package Accession Numbers
ML032170942, ML032260339, ML032260715, and ML032170934. The scoping
period for this update to the GEIS closed on September 17, 2003, but
was subsequently reopened from October 3, 2005, to December 30, 2005.
The NRC staff and its contractor reviewed the public scoping meeting
transcripts and all written materials received during the public
scoping periods and identified individual comments. All comments and
suggestions received orally during the scoping meetings, or in writing,
were considered.
The NRC staff prepared a Scoping Summary Report for the Update of
the GEIS. This report summarizes comments received during the two
public scoping periods and during four public scoping meetings. The
environmental review process for license renewal of nuclear facilities
continues under the current regulatory framework throughout the course
of this effort.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
Section 51.29(b), a copy of the Scoping Summary Report has been made
publicly available at the PDR, located at One White Flint North, 11555
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, or from ADAMS. The ADAMS
Public Electronic Reading Room is accessible at http://
adamswebsearch.nrc.gov/dologin.htm. The Accession Number for the
Scoping Summary Report is ML082960910. Persons who do not have access
to ADAMS, or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located
in ADAMS, should contact the NRC's PDR reference staff by telephone at
