Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement

Number 4 submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum
permissible level for residues of alkyl amine polyalkoxylates.
DATES: This regulation is effective June 17, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before August 17, 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).

ANNOUNCEMENT 2
Subject: TOXICS - PR. EPA. Testing of Certain Nonylphenol and Nonylphenol Ethoxylate Substances
[Federal Register: June 17, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 115)]

Testing of Certain Nonylphenol and Nonylphenol Ethoxylate
Substances
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 6, 2007, the Environmental Law and Policy Center, the
Sierra Club, the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations,
the Washington Toxics Coalition, Physicians for Social Responsibility,
and UNITE HERE (hereinafter ``petitioners''), petitioned EPA under
section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to initiate
rulemaking proceedings under section 4 and section 6 of TSCA for the
substances nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs). EPA
granted the petitioners' request for chronic aquatic toxicity testing
and a few other aspects of the petitioners' TSCA section 4 request, but
denied all of the petitioners' section 6 requests. Subsequently, on
October 24, 2007, the petitioners filed suit in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of California challenging EPA's denial of
their TSCA section 21 petition. The lawsuit was mediated and, in an
agreement signed on December 30, 2008, the parties settled the case.
EPA is now providing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM)
for aquatic and sediment toxicity testing under TSCA section 4 for
these substances, and is also requesting comment on gathering data
under TSCA and through other means to facilitate the evaluation of
industrial laundry worker exposure to NPEs.

[Docket ID MMS-2008-OMM-0003]
Safety and Environmental Management Systems for Outer Continental
Shelf Oil and Gas Operations
AGENCY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The MMS proposes to require operators to develop and implement
a Safety and Environmental Management System to address oil and gas
operations in the Outer Continental Shelf. The Safety and Environmental
Management System would consist of four elements--Hazards Analysis,
Management of Change, Operating Procedures, and Mechanical Integrity--
that, until now, have not been covered in our regulations. The MMS
analyzed accident panel investigation reports, incident reports, and
incidents of noncompliance and determined that the root cause of most
safety and environmental accidents and incidents is one or more of
these four elements. The MMS believes that requiring operators to
implement a Safety and Environmental Management System will reduce the
risk and number of accidents, injuries, and spills during Outer
Continental Shelf activities.
DATES: Submit comments by September 15, 2009. The MMS may not fully
consider comments received after this date. Submit comments to the
Office of Management and Budget on the information collection burden in
this proposed rule by July 17, 2009. This does not affect the deadline
for the public to comment to MMS on the proposed regulations.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on the rulemaking by any of the
following methods. Please use the Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)
1010-AD15 as an identifier in your message. See also Public
Availability of Comments under Procedural Matters.

SUMMARY: The MMS proposes to require operators to develop and implement
a Safety and Environmental Management System to address oil and gas
operations in the Outer Continental Shelf. The Safety and Environmental
Management System would consist of four elements--Hazards Analysis,
Management of Change, Operating Procedures, and Mechanical Integrity--
that, until now, have not been covered in our regulations. The MMS
analyzed accident panel investigation reports, incident reports, and
incidents of noncompliance and determined that the root cause of most
safety and environmental accidents and incidents is one or more of
these four elements. The MMS believes that requiring operators to
implement a Safety and Environmental Management System will reduce the
risk and number of accidents, injuries, and spills during Outer
Continental Shelf activities.
DATES: Submit comments by September 15, 2009. The MMS may not fully
consider comments received after this date. Submit comments to the
Office of Management and Budget on the information collection burden in
this proposed rule by July 17, 2009. This does not affect the deadline
for the public to comment to MMS on the proposed regulations.
