Laminarin; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of laminarin in or on all food commodities
when applied preharvest as a biochemical pesticide to stimulate natural
defense mechanisms in plants. Laboratoires Go[euml]mar SA c/o SciReg,
Inc. 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 laminarin.
DATES: This regulation is effective February 24, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before April 26, 2010, and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0529. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://

Subject: TOXICS - FR. EPA. Final Clarification for Chemical Identification Describing

Final Clarification for Chemical Identification Describing
Activated Phosphors for TSCA Inventory Purposes
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final clarification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This is a clarification under which certain activated
phosphors that are not on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
section 8(b) Chemical Substance Inventory (TSCA Inventory) will be
considered to be new chemical substances under TSCA section 5, and thus
will be subject to applicable notification requirements under TSCA
section 5. In certain letters and other statements issued by EPA from
1978 to 2003, the Agency erroneously indicated that activated phosphors
(otherwise known as doped phosphors) constitute mixtures of phosphors
and dopants for purposes of the TSCA Inventory, and thus that they were
not separately reportable as chemical substances under TSCA section
5(a) new chemical notification requirements. This clarification is
necessary because EPA's statements in this area have not been
consistent.
DATES: EPA's clarification is effective August 24, 2011.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2007-0392. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://
www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the OPPT Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in the EPA Docket
Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 Constitution Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room hours of operation
are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number of the EPA/DC Public Reading Room is
(202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the OPPT Docket is (202)
566-0280. Docket visitors are required to show photographic
identification, pass through a metal detector, and sign the EPA visitor
log. All visitor bags are processed through an X-ray machine and
subject to search. Visitors will be provided an EPA/DC badge that must
be visible at all times in the building and returned upon departure.

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
authorizing use of the pesticide on Bermudagrass, forage and
Bermudagrass, hay. This regulation establishes maximum permissible
levels for residues of nicosulfuron in Bermudagrass and hay. The time-

environmental impact statement (ETS) to assess the environmental
impacts of an industry proposal to drill one exploratory natural gas
well (the USA & State South Branch 1-8 (SB 1-8) well) on National
Forest System lands. The EIS will also assess the impacts of
constructing necessary infrastructure including production facility and
flowline, to develop the well should it be capable of producing
hydrocarbons in commercial quantities. This analysis will allow the
agencies to make their respective decisions on this proposal in
accordance with Federal regulations.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope of the analysis must be received
by April 12, 2010. The draft environmental impact statement is expected
in December, 2010 and the final environmental impact statement is
expected by July 2011.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is soliciting public comment on its Proposed Interim
Staff Guidance (ISG) DC/COL-ISG-014 (Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML091320560). The purpose of
this ISG is to provide Combined License (COL) and Design Certification
(DC) applicants additional clarity and guidance for the application of
Sections 2.4.12 and 2.4.13 of the Standard Review Plan (SRP), NUREG
0800 ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports
for Nuclear Power Plants.'' Specifically, this ISG would revise the
staff guidance in SRP Sections 2.4.12 and 2.4.13 regarding the
assessment of ground water flow and transport of accidental
radionuclide releases necessary to demonstrate compliance with the
requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 100
(10 CFR 100) and Appendix B to 10 CFR part 20 on effluent concentration
limits. The NRC staff issues DC/COL-ISGs to facilitate timely
implementation of current staff guidance and to facilitate activities
associated with review of applications for DCs and COLs by the Office
of New Reactors. The NRC staff will also incorporate the approved DC/
COL-ISG-014 into the next revision of the SRP and related guidance
documents.
DATES: Comments must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Comments received
after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but
the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.
