[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0165; FRL-8816-4]

Phosphate Ester, Tallowamine, Ethoxylated; 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 phosphate ester, tallowamine,
ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 68308-48-5), herein referred to in this
document as PETAE when used as an inert ingredient at a maximum of 20%
by weight in pesticide formulations applied in or on growing crops.
Huntsman Corporation 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 PETAE.

DATES: This regulation is effective April 28, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before June 28, 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-2009-0165. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://

Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Lead Emissions From
Piston-Engine Aircraft Using Leaded Aviation Gasoline

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(ANPR) to describe information currently available and information
being collected that will be used by the Administrator to issue a
subsequent proposal regarding whether, in the Administrator's judgment,
aircraft lead emissions from aircraft using leaded aviation gasoline
(avgas) cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be
anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. In this ANPR we
describe and request comment on the data available for evaluating lead
emissions, ambient concentrations and potential exposure to lead from
the continued use of leaded avgas in piston-engine powered aircraft. We
also describe and request comment on additional information being
collected that will inform any future action.
    This ANPR is being issued to further respond to a petition
submitted by Friends of the Earth (FOE) in 2006. Emissions of lead from
piston-engine aircraft using leaded avgas comprise approximately half
of the national inventory of lead emitted to air. There are almost
20,000 airport facilities in the U.S. at which leaded avgas may be
used. EPA has long-standing concerns regarding exposure to lead,
particularly during childhood. The most recent review and revision of
the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for lead, promulgated
in 2008, found that serious health effects occur at much lower levels
of lead in blood than previously identified and did not identify a safe
level of lead exposure.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 28, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2007-0294, by one of the following methods:

SUMMARY: This document contains a technical correction to the final
rule regarding the test procedures for general service fluorescent
lamps, incandescent reflector lamps, and general service incandescent
lamps, which was published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2009. In
that final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) adopted amendments
to its test procedure regulations for the above-specified lamps.
However, due to a drafting error, part of the original wording was
inadvertently removed from the DOE test procedure regulations in the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This final rule addresses this issue
and restores the correct and complete language to the regulations.

DATES: Effective on April 28, 2010.
