Sodium Ferric Ethylenediaminetetraacetate; 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 sodium ferric
ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) in or on all food commodities when
applied as a molluscicide and used in accordance with good agricultural
practices. W. Neudorff GmbH KG submitted a petition to EPA under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to
establish a maximum permissible level for residues of sodium ferric
EDTA under the FFDCA.
DATES: This regulation is effective March 30, 2011. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before May 31, 2011, 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-2010-0097. 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.

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive
Emissions; Interim Rule; Stay and Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Interim rule; stay and revisions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking an interim action to effectuate and extend a
stay of the final rule entitled ``Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR):
Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions'' (``Fugitive
Emissions Rule'') published in the Federal Register on December 19,
2008. The Fugitive Emissions Rule under the Federal NSR program
required that fugitive emissions be included in determining whether a
physical or operational change results in a major modification only for
sources in designated industries. EPA issued a stay of the Fugitive
Emissions Rule on March 31, 2010, that was effective for 18 months
through October 3, 2011. This action supersedes the stay and thereby
corrects potential confusion caused by that stay. To effectuate a stay
of the Fugitive Emissions Rule, this action clarifies the stay and the
revisions of specific paragraphs in the NSR regulations that were
affected by the Fugitive Emissions Rule. This action also extends the
stay until EPA completes its reconsideration of the Fugitive Emissions
Rule.
DATES: Effective date: This interim rule is effective March 30, 2011.
The administrative stay of provisions in 40 CFR 51.165, 51.166,
Appendix S to part 51, and 40 CFR 52.21 published on March 31, 2010 (75
FR 16012) is lifted; and
The following Code of Federal Regulations sections are stayed
indefinitely: 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(G) and (a)(1)(vi)(C)(3);
51.166(b)(2)(v) and (b)(3)(iii)(d); Appendix S to Part 51, Paragraph
II.A.5(vii); and 52.21(b)(2)(v) and (b)(3)(iii)(c). The EPA will
publish a document in the Federal Register lifting this stay.
Comment date: Comments must be received on or before April 29,
2011.
