Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes;
Significant New Use Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under section
5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for two chemical
substances which were the subject of Premanufacture Notices (PMNs). The
two chemical substances are identified generically as multi-walled
carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) (PMN P-08-177) and single-walled carbon
nanotubes (SWCNT) (PMN P-08-328). This action requires persons who
intend to manufacture, import, or process either of these two chemical
substances for a use that is designated as a significant new use by
this final rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that
activity. EPA believes that this action is necessary because these
chemical substances may be hazardous to human health and the
environment. The required notification would 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 October 18, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2008-0252. 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
not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the OPPT Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in the EPA Docket
Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 Constitution Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room hours of operation
are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number of the EPA/DC Public Reading Room is
(202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the OPPT Docket is (202)
566-0280. Docket visitors are required to show photographic
identification, pass through a metal detector, and sign the EPA visitor
log. All visitor bags are processed through an X-ray machine and
subject to search. Visitors will be provided an EPA/DC badge that must
be visible at all times in the building and returned upon departure.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Addressing Policy and Logistical Challenges to Smart Grid
Implementation
AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability,
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Request for Information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking comments from
interested parties on policy and logistical challenges that confront
smart grid implementation, as well as recommendations on how to best
overcome those challenges. DOE is undertaking this Request for
Information (RFI) on behalf of the Administration and in consultation
with key stakeholders from state regulatory bodies. The RFI will assist
these parties as they seek to assure smart grid deployments benefit consumers, the
economy and the environment. In particular, comments on the RFI will
help inform the Administration's analysis of policy challenges and
possible solutions being developed by the Smart Grid Subcommittee of
the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Technology.
The Subcommittee seeks to base its analysis on an up-to-date
understanding of the context in which smart grid technologies, business
models and policies operate. This is the third in a series of RFIs
issued by DOE regarding smart grid implementation. Prior RFIs sought
comment on data access, data usage and privacy issues, and on
communications requirements for the smart grid. In this RFI, DOE seeks
specific input on: the best way to define the term ``smart grid'' for
policymaking purposes; the consumer-level benefits from, and challenges
to, smart grid deployment; the benefits and challenges associated with
smart grid implementation on the ``utility side'' of the meter; the
ways in which policy makers at all levels of government can share
experience and resources; and the broader, economy-wide benefits and
challenges associated with the smart grid. In so doing, this RFI avoids
duplicating questions that were raised in prior RFIs.
DATES: Comments must be transmitted or postmarked by no later than
November 1, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by ``Smart Grid RFI:
Addressing Policy and Logistical Challenges'' via any of the following
methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov (following

Pipeline Safety: Control Room Management/Human Factors
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA);
DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: PHMSA published the Control Room Management/Human Factors
final rule in the Federal Register on December 3, 2009, which became
effective on February 1, 2010. The final rule established an 18-month
program development deadline of August 1, 2011, and a subsequent 18-
month program implementation deadline of February 1, 2013. This
proposed rule proposes to expedite the program implementation deadline
to August 1, 2011, for most of the requirements, except for certain
provisions regarding adequate information and alarm management, which
would have a program implementation deadline of August 1, 2012.
DATES: Anyone interested in filing written comments on this proposed
rule must do so by November 16, 2010. PHMSA will consider late comments
filed so far as practical.
