Inquiry To Learn Whether Businesses Assert Business
Confidentiality Claims

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) receives from time
to time Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documentation
received or issued by EPA or data contained in EPA database systems
pertaining to the export and import of Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste from/to the United States, the
export of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and Spent Lead Acid Batteries
(SLABs) from the United States, and the export and import of RCRA
universal waste from/to the United States. These documents and data may
identify or reference multiple parties, and describe transactions
involving the movement of specified materials in which the parties
propose to participate or have participated. The purpose of this notice
is to inform ``affected businesses'' about the documents or data sought
by these types of FOIA requests in order to provide the businesses with
the opportunity to assert claims that any of the information sought
that pertains to them is entitled to treatment as confidential business
information (CBI), and to send comments to EPA supporting their claims
for such treatment. Certain businesses, however, do not meet the
definition of ``affected business,'' and are not covered by today's
notice. They consist of any business that actually submitted to EPA any
document at issue pursuant to applicable RCRA regulatory requirements
and did not assert a CBI claim as to information that pertains to that
business in connection with the document at the time of its submission;
they have waived their right to do so at a later time. Nevertheless,
other businesses identified or referenced in the documents that were
submitted to EPA by the submitting business may have a right to assert
a CBI claim concerning information that pertains to them and may do so
in response to this notice.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 30, 2010. The
period for submission of comments may be extended if, before the
comments are due, you make a request for an extension of the comment
period and it is approved by the EPA legal office. Except in
extraordinary circumstances, the EPA legal office will not approve such
an extension without the consent of any person whose request for
release of the information under the FOIA is pending.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OECA-2010-0609, by one of the following methods:

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection
Act of 2002, we are soliciting public comment regarding the list of
select agents and toxins that have the potential to pose a severe
threat to animal or plant health, or to animal or plant products. The
Act requires the biennial review and republication of the list of
select agents and toxins and the revision of the list as necessary.
Accordingly, we are soliciting public comment on the current list of
select agents and toxins in our regulations and suggestions regarding
any addition or reduction of the animal or plant pathogens currently on
the list of select agents. In addition, we are soliciting public
comment on the potential reorganization of the list of select agents
and toxins based on the relative potential of each select agent or
toxin to be misused to adversely affect human, plant or animal health.
Such tiering of the list could allow for the application of different
security measures for those select agents or toxins which pose a higher
risk to animal or plant health if they were to be stolen or otherwise
misused.

DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or before
August 30, 2010.

ANNOUNCEMENT 2

Subject: TOXICS - PR. EPA. Aluminum tris(O-ethylphosphonate), Butylate, Chlorethoxyfos, Clethodim, et al.; Proposed Tolerance Actions

[Federal Register: July 28, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 144)]
[Proposed Rules]
[Page 44184-44198]

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0490; FRL-8834-1]

Aluminum tris(O-ethylphosphonate), Butylate, Chlorethoxyfos,
Clethodim, et al.; Proposed Tolerance Actions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with current Agency practice to describe more
clearly the measurement and scope or coverage of the tolerances, EPA is
proposing minor revisions to tolerance expressions for a number of
pesticide active ingredients, including the insecticides
chlorethoxyfos, clofentezine, cyromazine, etofenprox, fenbutatin-oxide,
fosthiazate, propetamphos, and tebufenozide; the fungicides aluminum
tris(O-ethylphosphonate) and fenarimol; the herbicides butylate,
clethodim, clomazone, fenoxaprop-ethyl, flumetsulam, flumiclorac
pentyl, fluridone, fomesafen, glufosinate ammonium, lactofen,
propyzamide, quinclorac, and pyridate; and the fungicide/bactericide
oxytetracycline. Also, EPA is proposing to revoke the tolerances for
aluminum tris(O-ethylphosphonate) on pineapple fodder and forage
because they are not considered to be significant livestock feed items,
and revise specific tolerance nomenclatures for aluminum tris(O-
ethylphosphonate), clethodim, flumetsulam, and fluridone. In addition,
EPA will be removing several expired tolerances for aluminum tris(O-
ethylphosphonate), etofenprox, propyzamide, and tebufenozide.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the availability of a January 19, 2010
petition from Dow AgroSciences LLC (``DAS''), Makhteshim Agan of North
America, Inc. (``MANA''), and Cheminova, Inc. USA (``Cheminova'')
requesting EPA promulgate a rule for creating and amending Endangered
Species Protection Bulletins (``County Bulletins'') intended to provide
additional label directions as part of the Agency's Endangered Species
Protection Program (ESPP). DAS, MANA, and Cheminova state that
appropriate, clear, and equitable procedures for creating and amending
County Bulletins must be established. They further claim that the
current process used to develop and implement County Bulletins is ad
hoc, and that EPA has no established procedures for input by the
agricultural or forestry communities, or to assure the pesticide
registrant's ability to review, comment upon and/or challenge proposed
language in County Bulletins that would be referenced on its label.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Methyl Parathion; Rescision of Previously Issued Order and
Issuance of Revised Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide
Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's rescision of a previously issued
cancellation order and provides a revised cancellation order,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
products containing methyl parathion, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended. This revised cancellation order rescinds a July 16, 2010
Federal Register Notice which incorrectly stated the effective date of
the cancellations of the product registrations listed in Table 1 of
Unit II. This order correctly identifies the effective dates of
cancellation for the affected product registrations. In addition, this
order clarifies the existing stocks provisions. These are the last products containing this pesticide registered for use in the United States. In the April 28,
2010 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the
registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II. to voluntarily cancel all
these product registrations, EPA indicated that it would issue an order
implementing the cancellations, 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. The Agency received two comments on the notice but none
merited the denial or the 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
cancellations. 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 December 31, 2012.

$100,000 to $110,000. The minimum civil monetary penalty for a
violation related to training remains at $450. The minimum civil
monetary penalty per violation for other hazardous material violations
remains at $250. These adjustments are required by the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 as amended by the Debt
