Elemental Mercury Used in Flow Meters, Natural Gas Manometers,
and Pyrometers; Significant New Use Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating a significant new use rule (SNUR) under
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for
elemental mercury (CAS No. 7439-97-6) for use in flow meters, natural
gas manometers, and pyrometers, except for use in these articles when
they are in service as of September 11, 2009. This action will require
persons who intend to manufacture (including import) or process
elemental mercury for an activity that is designated as a significant
new use by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing
that activity. Persons subject to the provisions of this rule will not
be exempt from significant new use reporting if they import into the
United States or process elemental mercury as part of an article. The
required notification will provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate
the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity
before it occurs.
DATES: This final rule is effective August 20, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2008-0483. All documents in the

Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-isotridecyl-[omega]-methoxy;
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 poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-
isotridecyl-[omega]-methoxy (CAS Reg. No. 345642-79-7) when used as an
inert ingredient (surfactant) at a maximum concentration of 10% in
pesticide formulations under 40 CFR 180.920 on growing crops only.
Bayer CropScience submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation
eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-isotridecyl-[omega]-
methoxy.
DATES: This regulation is effective July 21, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before September 20, 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).

public information meetings, EPA will discuss the major provisions of
the current TCR, the history of the development of the proposed RTCR,
the core elements of the proposed RTCR, the comparison between the
current TCR and the proposed RTCR, and specific areas where EPA is
requesting comment. Additional topics that will be discussed include
the cost and benefit information of the proposed rule and the planned
guidance manuals that will be developed to support the implementation
of the final rule.
Date and Location: The first public information meeting will be
held on Tuesday, August 3, 2010, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Eastern Time (EDT), at

Subject: HAZ - PR. DOT/Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Cargo Tank Special Permits Into Regulations

[Docket No. PHMSA-2010-0017 (HM-245)]

Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Cargo Tank Special
Permits Into Regulations
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is
proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to incorporate
provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding cargo tank
special permits that are granted to multiple parties and have an
established safety record. Special permits allow a company or
individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that
varies from the regulations provided an equivalent level of safety is
maintained. The proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access
to the regulatory flexibility offered in the special permits and
eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests, thereby, facilitating
commerce activity and reducing paperwork burdens while maintaining an
appropriate level of safety.
DATES: Comments must be received by August 20, 2010. A 30 day comment
period is appropriate for this rulemaking because it proposes to
incorporate long-standing, widely used special permits into the HMR.
These special permits have well-established safety records. Incorporation of
these special permits would reduce the compliance burden and cost on
both industry and government by removing the need to apply for special
permits.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by identification of the docket
number (PHMSA-2010-0017 (HM-245)) by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
Fax: 1-202-493-2251.
Mail: Docket Operations, U.S. Department of
Transportation, West Building, Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Routing
Symbol M-30, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.
Hand Delivery: To Docket Operations, Room W12-140 on the
ground floor of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.
Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and
docket number for this notice at the beginning of the comment. All
comments received will be posted without change to the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS), including any personal information.
Docket: For access to the dockets to read background documents or
comments received, go to http://www.regulations.gov or DOT's Docket
Operations Office (see ADDRESSES).
Privacy Act: Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any
written communications and comments received into any of our dockets by
the name of the individual submitting the document (or signing the
document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in
the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (Volume 65, Number 70;
