ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0163; FRL-8848-1]

Aldicarb; Notice of Receipt of Request to Voluntarily Cancel a
Pesticide Registration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of a request by the registrant to voluntarily cancel
all of the registrations for aldicarb products held by Bayer
CropScience. The request asks for the deletion at various times of
aldicarb use in or on citrus, cotton, dry beans, peanuts, potatoes,
soybeans, sugar potatoes, sugar beets, and sweet potatoes. Because
these uses constitute all the remaining uses of aldicarb, Bayer's
request would result in the termination of the last aldicarb product
registered for use in the United States. EPA intends to grant this
request at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless
the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that
would merit its further review of the request. If this request is
granted, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this
notice will be permitted after the registration has been canceled only
if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as
described in the final order.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 8, 2010.

Annual Materials Report on New Bridge Construction and Bridge
Rehabilitation

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Section 1114 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) (Pub. L.
109-59; 119 Stat. 1144) continued the highway bridge program to enable
States to improve the condition of their highway bridges over
waterways, other topographical barriers, other highways, and railroads.
Section 1114(f) amended 23 United States Code (U.S.C.) 144 by adding
subsection (r), requiring the Secretary of Transportation to publish in
the Federal Register a report describing construction materials used in
new Federal-aid bridge construction and bridge rehabilitation projects.
As part of the SAFETEA-LU Technical Corrections Act of 2008 (Pub. L.
110-244), 23 U.S.C. 144 subsection (r) became subsection (q), but the
reporting requirement remained the same.
