and distribution in commerce of PCBs in porous surfaces; and the
marking of PCB articles in use. Also in this document, EPA is also
reassessing the definitions of ``excluded manufacturing process,''
``quantifiable level/level of detection,'' and ``recycled PCBs.'' EPA

Malathion and Diquat Dibromide; Cancellation Order for 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 registrants and accepted
by the Agency, of uses of the products listed in Table 1, pursuant to
section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows a February 10,
2010 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 2 to voluntarily amend to terminate certain
uses of these product registrations. These are not the last products
containing these pesticides registered for use in the United States. In
the February 10, 2010 Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an
order implementing the amendments 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
registrants withdrew their requests within this period. The Agency
received one comment on the notice, but this comment did not merit the
Agency's further review of the requests. Further, the registrants did
not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this
notice a cancellation order granting the requested amendments to
terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the 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 April 7, 2010.

Energy Efficient Building Systems Regional Innovation Cluster
Initiative--Joint Federal Funding Opportunity Announcement Information
Session II
AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of public webinar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces a second information session for
potential applicants, partner organizations, and other interested
parties to learn more about the Joint Federal Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) (see http://www.energy.gov/hubs/eric.htm) issued on
February 8, 2010, titled the Energy Efficient Building Systems Regional
Innovation Cluster Initiative. A single proposal submitted by a
consortium of applicants will be funded at a total of up to $129.7
million over 5 years to foster a regional innovation cluster focused on
innovation in energy efficient building technologies and systems
design. The DOE-funded Energy Efficient Building Systems Design Hub
(the ``Hub'') will serve as a centerpiece of the regional innovation
cluster (the ``Energy Regional Innovation Cluster'' or ``E-RIC'') and
will work to disseminate new technologies into the marketplace and
share best practices with the public and private sectors. By linking
researchers in the Hub with local businesses and supporting specialized
workforce education and training in the area, the Consortium will
foster an economically dynamic regional innovation cluster focused on
energy efficient buildings technologies and systems design. The Hub,
one of three Energy Innovation Hubs to be created by the DOE in Fiscal
Year 2010, will bring together a multidisciplinary team of researchers
ideally working under one roof to conduct high-risk, high-reward
research that overcomes technology challenges through approaches that
span basic research to engineering development to commercialization
readiness. The Hub will work with key partners funded by EDA, NIST,
SBA, DOL, ED and NSF to foster the Energy Regional Innovation Cluster
and leverage the collective resources and expertise of the seven
federal agencies involved. During this public webinar, representatives
from these agencies will discuss the most frequently asked questions
related to the joint FOA and answer any additional questions.
DATES: Wednesday, April 14, 2010, 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m. EDT (Participants
should register before this date and begin accessing the site between 1
p.m. and 1:15 p.m. on the day of the webinar.)

other media to keep people updated throughout the planning process and
to provide opportunities for input. We will hold public meetings in
communities within and near the Refuge during preparation of the
Revised CCP. We will also hold meetings in Anchorage, AK, Fairbanks,
AK, and Washington, DC.
DATES: Meetings: A public scoping meeting will be held in Washington,
DC on May 4, 2010, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Department of the Interior
Auditorium, 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC. In addition, we will
hold public scoping meetings in Anchorage and Fairbanks, AK and in
