Morpholine 4-C6-12 Acyl 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 Morpholine 4-C6-12 Acyl
derivatives (CAS Reg. No. 887947-29-7), herein referred to in this
document as morpholine amide when used as the inert ingredient in
pesticide formulations applied in or on growing crops. Huntsman
Corporation 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 morpholine amide.
DATES: This regulation is effective May 6, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before July 6, 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).
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0105. All documents in the

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From the
Portland Cement Manufacturing Industry
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing amendments to the current National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from the Portland
Cement Manufacturing Industry. These proposed amendments would add or
revise, as applicable, emission limits for mercury, total hydrocarbons
(THC), and particulate matter (PM) from kilns and in-line kiln/raw
mills located at a major or an area source, and hydrochloric acid (HCl)
from kilns and in-line kiln/raw mills located at major sources. These
proposed amendments also would remove the following four provisions in
the current regulation: the operating limit for the average hourly
recycle rate for cement kiln dust; the requirement that cement kilns
only use certain type of utility boiler fly ash; the opacity limits for
kilns and clinker coolers; and the 50 parts per million volume dry
(ppmvd) THC emission limit for new greenfield sources. EPA is also
proposing standards which would apply during startup, shutdown, and
operating modes for all of the current section 112 standards applicable
to cement kilns.
Finally, EPA is proposing performance specifications for use of
mercury continuous emission monitors (CEMS), which specifications would
be generally applicable and so could apply to sources from categories
other than, and in addition to, portland cement, and updating
recordkeeping and testing requirements.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 6, 2009. If any one
contacts EPA by May 21, 2009 requesting to speak at a public hearing,
EPA will hold a public hearing on May 26, 2009. Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act, comments on the information collection provisions are
best assured of having full effect if the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) receives a copy of your comments on or before June 5,
2009.
