Subject: TOXICS - ND. EPA. Notice of Receipt of Requests for Amendments to Delete Uses in Certain Pesticide Registrations; Technical Correction
 
[Federal Register: November 6, 2008 (Volume 73, Number 216)]
[Notices]              
[Page 66043-66044]

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0761; FRL-8390-2]

Notice of Receipt of Requests for Amendments to Delete Uses in
Certain Pesticide Registrations; Technical Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: On October 29, 2008, EPA issued a Notice of Receipt of
Requests for Amendments by Registrants to Delete Uses in Certain
Pesticide Registrations. Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be amended to delete one or more uses.
FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must
publish a notice of receipt of any request in the Federal Register. The
October 29 Notice inadvertently included a request to delete various
uses from EPA Registrations 000279-02712 (Furadan 10G Insecticide/
Nematicide), 000279-02876 (Furadan 4F Insecticide/Nematicide), 000279-
03023 (Furadan 15G Insecticide/Nematicide), and 000279-03310 (Furadan
LFR Insecticide/Nematicide). All of these registrations contain the
active ingredient Carbofuran. The Notice contained errors regarding the
request to delete uses for these registrations. This correction removes
all of these registrations from this notice.

DATES: Because this technical correction removes only these four use
deletion requests, the effective date for the remaining use deletions
remains unchanged from the October 29 Notice. The remaining deletions
are effective April 27, 2009 or November 28, 2008 for registrations for
which the registrant requested a waiver of the 180-day comment period.
    Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant on or before
April 27, 2009 or November 28, 2008 for registrations for which the
registrant requested a waiver of the 180-day comment period.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is promulgating significant new use rules (SNURs) under
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for 56
chemical substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices
(PMNs). Four of these chemical substances are subject to TSCA section
5(e) consent orders issued by EPA. This action requires persons who
intend to manufacture, import, or process any of these 56 chemical
substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use
by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that
activity. The required notification will provide EPA with the
opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit
or limit that activity before it occurs.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is January 5, 2009 without
further notice, unless EPA receives written adverse or critical
comments, or notice of intent to submit adverse or critical comments
before December 5, 2008. This rule shall be promulgated for purposes of
judicial review at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on November 19, 2008.
    If EPA receives written adverse or critical comments, or notice of
intent to submit adverse or critical comments, on one or more of these
SNURs before December 5, 2008, EPA will withdraw the relevant sections
of this direct final rule before its effective date. EPA will then
issue a proposed SNUR for the chemical substance(s) on which adverse or
critical comments were received, providing a 30-day period for public
comment.

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0571; FRL-8386-1]

Silane, trimethoxy[3-(oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]-, hydrolysis
products with silica; Tolerance Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of silane, trimethoxy[3-
(oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]-, hydrolysis products with silica (CAS Reg.
No. 68584-82-7); when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide
chemical formulation under 40 CFR 180.960. Keller and Heckman LLP, 1001
G St., NW, Suit, 500 Washington, DC 20001 as U.S. agent for Eka
Chemicals AB, 455 80 Bobus, Sweden 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 silane, trimethoxy[3- (oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]-, hydrolysis
products with silica on food or feed commodities.

DATES: This regulation is effective November 5, 2008. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before January 5, 2009,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

Stay of the Effectiveness of Requirements for Air Emission
Testing Bodies

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to stay the effectiveness of
requirements for air emission testing bodies.
    On January 24, 2008, final amendments to regulations on competency
requirements for air emission testing bodies (AETBs) were published in
the Federal Register. The AETB provision generally requires stack
testers and stack testing companies to meet certain minimum competency
requirements described in ASTM D 7036 by January 1, 2009.
    On March 25, 2008, the Utility Air Regulatory Group (UARG) filed a
Petition for Review primarily claiming that EPA could not by the AETB
requirement hold utilities responsible for something they cannot
control. While EPA is considering revisions to the requirements to
address UARG's concerns, it cannot propose and complete any such
revision through notice and comment rulemaking before the compliance
date contained in the existing rule, thus necessitating this action.
EPA needs to complete this action staying effectiveness of the AETB
requirements in order to secure an extension of an Order Granting
Abeyance of Further Proceedings which expires on October 29, 2008, when
the Agency must file Motions to Govern Further Proceedings.

DATES: Effective on November 4, 2008, in Appendix A to 40 CFR Part 75,
the effectiveness of Section 6.1.2(a) through (c) is stayed
indefinitely.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0800. All documents in the docket are listed in the
Federal Docket Management System index at http://www.regulations.gov.
Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly

Sale and Disposal of National Forest Service System Timber;
Timber Sale Contracts; Market-Related Contract Term Additions

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The original Market-Related Contract Term Addition (MRCTA)
regulation was adopted in 1990 to provide financial relief to timber
sale purchasers during cyclic downturns in forest products markets.
However, the current drastic reduction in Forest Product markets, which
began in late 2004, revealed several problems with the existing MRCTA
regulation. Therefore, this final rule is needed to help ensure that
the MRCTA regulation functions as originally intended.
    This final rule makes four changes to the MRCTA regulation. First,
the regulation now allows more than 3 years to be added to a contract's
term pursuant to MRCTA when there is a drastic reduction in wood
product prices that lasts for more than 10 out of 12 consecutive
quarters. Second, the regulation now gives contracting officers the
flexibility needed to assign the most appropriate Bureau of Labor
Statistics Producer Price Index (PPI) to a timber sale contract. Third,
the regulation now prevents any single 3-month MRCTA from extending a
contract's term by more than 1 year. Finally, the regulation now
explicitly states what types of sales are ineligible for any MRCTA
relief.

DATES: This rule is effective December 4, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lathrop Smith, Forest Management
staff, at (202) 205-0858, or Richard Fitzgerald, Forest Management

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 6422]

Receipt of Application for a Permit for Pipeline Facilities To Be
Constructed and Maintained on the Borders of the United States

    The Department of State has received an application from
TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, L.P. (``Keystone''), for a Presidential
permit, pursuant to Executive Order 13337 of April 30, 2004, to
construct, connect, operate, and maintain the Keystone XL Pipeline
Project at the U.S.-Canadian border at Phillips County, Montana, for
the purpose of transporting Canadian crude oil production from the
Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (``WCSB'') to existing terminals in
the Texas Gulf Coast area.
    Keystone is a limited liability company, organized under the laws
of the State of Delaware, and owned equally by affiliates of
TransCanada Corporation, a Canadian public company organized under the
laws of Canada, and ConocoPhillips Company, a Delaware corporation.
Keystone's primary business address is 450 1st Street, SW., Calgary,
Alberta, Canada T2P 5H1. Although Keystone is seeking a permit for
solely that portion of the pipeline crossing the international border
(up to the first pipeline isolation valve to be located in the United
States approximately 1.2 miles from the United States-Canada border),
the length of the proposed new pipeline would consist in the U.S. of
1,375 miles of 36-inch diameter pipeline installed in three segments:
The 850 mile-long ``Steele City'' segment from the U.S. border to
Steele City, Nebraska; the 478 mile-long ``Gulf Coast'' segment from
Cushing, Oklahoma to Nederland, Texas; and the 47 mile-long ``Houston
Lateral'' segment from Liberty County, Texas to the Moore Junction area
in Harris County, Texas. In Canada, 327 miles of 36-inch pipeline will
be constructed from Hardisty, Alberta to Monchy, Saskatchewan where it
will cross the U.S.-Canadian border into Phillips County, Montana.
    As required by E.O. 13337, the Department of State is circulating
this application to concerned federal agencies for comment. The
Department anticipates that additional information concerning the
Keystone XL Pipeline Project will be developed during the course of
processing the permit application.

DATES: Interested parties are invited to submit, in duplicate, comments
relative to this proposal on or before December 4, 2008 to J. Brian
Duggan, Room 4843, Office of International Energy and Commodity Policy,
Department of State, Washington, DC 20520. The application and related
documents that are part of the record to be considered by the
Department of State in connection with this application are available
for inspection in the Office of International Energy and Commodity
Policy during normal business hours.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. Brian Duggan, Office of
International Energy and Commodity Policy, Department of State,

Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act; Amendments to

Hazardous Chemical Reporting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing changes to the Emergency Planning
Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous Chemical
Reporting regulations that were proposed on June 8, 1998. EPA proposed
four major revisions and provided draft guidance on various reporting
options that States and local agencies may wish to consider in
implementing the hazardous chemical reporting requirements. This action
addresses only those changes proposed under the heading ``Other
Regulatory Changes'' described in the preamble to the 1998 proposed
rule. This final action includes minor revisions to the Emergency
Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous
Chemical Reporting regulations, codifying statutory requirements, and
clarifying certain interpretations and policy statements that EPA has
provided to the regulated community. This final action does not affect
public access to any of the information provided under the Emergency
Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous
Chemical Reporting regulations. In addition to the regulatory changes,
the Agency is finalizing the plain language format of the regulations.
Each section in these regulations will be re-numbered and tables will
be added for further clarification. Improving the clarity of the
regulatory requirements will make the rule easier to understand and
improve compliance.

DATES: This final rule is effective on December 3, 2008.
