Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate Derivatives; 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 alkyl alcohol alkoxylate phosphate
derivatives (AAAPD) when used under 40 CFR part 910 as an inert
ingredient--surfactant and related adjuvants of surfactants for pre-
and post-harvest uses and application to animals in pesticide
formulations under 40 CFR part 930, limited to a maximum of 30% by
weight in end-use products. The Joint Inerts Task Force (JITF), Cluster
Support Team Number 2 (CST 2) 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 AAAPDs.
DATES: This regulation is effective August 20, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before October 19, 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-2009-0131. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://
www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is

SUMMARY: In its effort to adopt several National Academy of Sciences
(the Academy) recommendations, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
proposes to modify the methods it uses to estimate the likely impacts
of energy conservation standards for covered products and covered
equipment on energy use and emissions and to expand the energy use and
emissions information made available to consumers. Specifically, DOE
proposes to use full-fuel-cycle (FFC) measures of energy and greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions, rather than the primary energy measures it
currently uses. Additionally, DOE proposes to work collaboratively with
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to make FFC energy and GHG emissions
data available to the public to enable consumers to make cross-class
comparisons. DOE will hold an informal public meeting to discuss and
receive comments on its planned approach. DOE welcomes written comments
from the public on any subject within the scope of this policy
document.
DATES: DOE will hold a public meeting on Thursday, October 7, 2010,
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Washington, DC. DOE must receive requests to
speak at the public meeting before 4 p.m., Thursday, September 23,
2010. DOE must receive an electronic copy of the statement with the
name and, if appropriate, the organization of the presenter to be given
at the public meeting before 4 p.m., Thursday, September 30, 2010. DOE
will accept written comments, data, and information regarding this
announcement before and after the public meeting, but no later than
October 19, 2010.
ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the U.S. Department of
Energy, Forrestal Building, Room 1E-245, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20585-0121. Please note that foreign nationals planning
to participate in the public meeting are subject to advance security
screening procedures. If a foreign national wishes to participate in
the public meeting, please inform DOE of this fact as soon as possible
by contacting Ms. Brenda Edwards at (202) 586-2945 so that the
necessary procedures can be completed.

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are removing
our regulations implementing the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of
1980. The Act authorized financial and technical assistance to States
to design conservation plans and programs to benefit nongame species;
however, funds never became available to carry out the Act, and we do
not expect funds to become available in the future.
