Exposure Factors Handbook: 2009 Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Peer-Review Workshop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing that Eastern Research Group, Inc. (ERG), an
EPA contractor for external scientific peer review, will convene an
independent panel of experts and organize and conduct an external peer-
review workshop on March 3-4, 2010, to review the external review draft
document titled, ``Exposure Factors Handbook 2009 Update'' (EPA/600/R-
09/052A). EPA previously announced the 60-day public comment period
(ending December 7, 2009) for the draft document in the Federal
Register on October 7, 2009 (74 FR 51592). The draft document was
prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA)
within EPA's Office of Research and Development. The Exposure Factors
Handbook provides information on various physiological and behavioral
factors commonly used in assessing exposure to environmental chemicals.
The handbook was first published in 1989 and was updated in 1997. This
updated version incorporates data available since 1997 up to June 2009.
It also reflects the revisions made to the Child-Specific Exposure
Factors Handbook, which was updated and published in 2008. Each chapter
in the revised Exposure Factors Handbook presents recommended values
for the exposure factors covered in the chapter as well as a discussion
of the underlying data used in developing the recommendations.
The public comment period and the external peer-review workshop are
separate processes that provide opportunities for all interested
parties to comment on the document. EPA intends to forward public
comments submitted in accordance with the October 7, 2009, Federal
Register notice (74 FR 51592) to ERG, for consideration by the external
peer-review panel prior to the workshop. EPA will consider public
comments and recommendations from the expert panel workshop as EPA
finalizes the draft document.
EPA is releasing this draft document solely for the purpose of pre-
dissemination peer review under applicable information quality
guidelines. This document has not been formally disseminated by EPA. It
does not represent and should not be construed to represent any Agency
policy or determination.
ERG invites the public to register to attend this workshop as
observers. In addition, ERG invites the public to give oral comments at
the workshop regarding the draft document under review. Members of the
public interested in making oral comments at the workshop should also
provide ERG with an electronic copy of their comments. Space is
limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-
served basis. The draft document and EPA's peer-review charge are only
available via the Internet on NCEA's home page under the Recent
Additions menu at http://www.epa.gov/ncea. In preparing a final report,
EPA will consider ERG's report of the comments and recommendations from
the external peer-review workshop and any public comments that EPA
received.
DATES: The peer-review panel workshop will begin on Wednesday, March 3,
2010, at 8 a.m., and will end on Thursday, March 4, 2010, at
approximately 12 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
ADDRESSES: The peer-review workshop will be held at the Sheraton
Crystal City Hotel, 1800 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
The EPA contractor, ERG, is organizing, convening, and conducting the
peer-review workshop. To attend the workshop, register by February 24,

Requirements and Procedures for Consumer Assistance To Recycle
and Save Program
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule amends the regulations implementing the
Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save (CARS) program, published on
July 29, 2009 in the Federal Register under the CARS Act. The rule
change allows disposal facilities an additional 90 days, for a total of
270 days, to crush or shred a vehicle traded in under the CARS program.
This additional time will allow the public to benefit from the
availability of lower cost used vehicle parts from vehicles traded in
under the CARS program and will provide disposal facilities with an
opportunity to derive more revenue from those vehicles prior to
crushing or shredding.
DATES: This final rule is effective February 2, 2010. Petitions: If you
wish to petition for reconsideration of this rule, your petition must
be received by March 19, 2010.
ADDRESSES: If you submit a petition for reconsideration of this rule,
you should refer in your petition to the docket number of this document
and submit your petition to: Administrator, National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building,
Washington, DC 20590.
The petition will be placed in the public docket. Anyone is able to
search the electronic form of all documents 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 the complete User notice

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule amends the regulations implementing the
Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save (CARS) program, published on
July 29, 2009 in the Federal Register under the CARS Act. The rule
change allows disposal facilities an additional 90 days, for a total of
270 days, to crush or shred a vehicle traded in under the CARS program.
This additional time will allow the public to benefit from the
availability of lower cost used vehicle parts from vehicles traded in
under the CARS program and will provide disposal facilities with an
opportunity to derive more revenue from those vehicles prior to
crushing or shredding.
DATES: This final rule is effective February 2, 2010. Petitions: If you
wish to petition for reconsideration of this rule, your petition must
be received by March 19, 2010.
ADDRESSES: If you submit a petition for reconsideration of this rule,
you should refer in your petition to the docket number of this document
and submit your petition to: Administrator, National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West Building,
Washington, DC 20590.
The petition will be placed in the public docket. Anyone is able to
search the electronic form of all documents received into any of our
dockets by the name of the individual submitting the document (or

Hazardous Material; Miscellaneous Packaging Amendments
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this final rule, PHMSA is amending packaging requirements
in the Hazardous Materials Regulations to enhance compliance
flexibility, improve clarity, and reduce regulatory burdens.
Specifically, we are revising several packaging related definitions;
adding provisions to allow more flexibility when preparing and
transmitting closure instructions, including conditions under which
closure instructions may be transmitted electronically; adding a
requirement for shippers to retain packaging closure instructions;
incorporating new language that will allow for a practicable means of
stenciling the ``UN'' symbol on packagings; and clarifying a
requirement to document the methodology used when determining whether a
change in packaging configuration requires retesting as a new design or
may be considered a variation of a previously tested design. This final
rule also incorporates requirements for construction, maintenance, and
use of Large Packagings.
DATES: Effective Date: October 1, 2010.
Voluntary Compliance Date: Compliance with the requirements adopted
herein is authorized as of March 4, 2010. However, persons voluntarily
complying with these regulations should be aware that appeals may be
received and as a result of PHMSA's evaluation of these appeals, the
amendments adopted in this final rule may be revised accordingly.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: PHMSA is proposing to adjust the statutorily-mandated
registration and fee assessment program for persons who transport, or
offer for transportation, certain categories and quantities of
hazardous materials. PHMSA's proposal would provide that, for
registration years beginning in 2010-2011, the annual fee to be paid by
those registrants not qualifying as a small business or not-for-profit
organization would increase from $975 (plus a $25 administrative fee)
to $2,975 (plus a $25 administrative fee). The proposed fee increase is
necessary to fund the national Hazardous Materials Emergency
Preparedness (HMEP) grants program at its authorized level of
approximately $28,000,000.
