Ammonium Salts of Fatty Acids (C8-C18
Saturated); 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 ammonium salts of fatty acids
(C8-C18 saturated) applied pre- and post-harvest
on all raw agricultural commodities when applied/used as a surfactant.
Falcon Lab, LLC. 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 ammonium salts of
fatty acids (C8-C18 saturated).

DATES: This regulation is effective March 24, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before May 24, 2010, 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

Transportation Conformity Rule PM2.5 and
PM10 Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this action, EPA is amending the transportation conformity
rule to finalize provisions that were proposed on May 15, 2009. These
amendments primarily affect conformity's implementation in
PM2.5 and PM10 nonattainment and maintenance
areas. EPA is updating the transportation conformity regulation in
light of an October 17, 2006 final rule that strengthened the 24-hour
PM2.5 national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) and
revoked the annual PM10 NAAQS. In addition, EPA is
clarifying the regulations concerning hot-spot analyses to address a
December 2007 remand from the Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit. This portion of the final rule applies to
PM2.5 and PM10 nonattainment and maintenance
areas as well as carbon monoxide nonattainment and maintenance areas.
    The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires federally supported transportation
plans, transportation improvement programs, and projects to be
consistent with (``conform to'') the purpose of the state air quality
implementation plan. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is
EPA's federal partner in implementing the transportation conformity
regulation. EPA has consulted with DOT, and they concur with this final
rule.

DATES: This final rule is effective on April 23, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0540. All documents in the docket are listed on the
http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., 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 either electronically through http://
www.regulations.gov
or in hard copy at the Air and Radiation Docket,
EPA/DC, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington,
DC. The Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday
through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the

Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Fluorescent Lamp
Ballasts

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking and public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes major revisions
to its test procedures for fluorescent lamp ballasts established under
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. The proposed test method would
eliminate the use of photometric measurements in favor of purely
electrical measurements with the goal of reducing measurement
variation. DOE proposes a set of transfer functions to convert the
measured ballast electrical efficiency to a ballast efficacy factor
value. These revisions, however, do not concern the measurement of
energy consumption of ballasts in the standby and off modes, which DOE
addressed in another rulemaking. DOE also announces a public meeting to
receive comment on the issues presented in this notice.

DATES: DOE will hold a public meeting on Monday, April 26, 2010,
beginning at 9 a.m. in Washington, DC. The agenda for the public
meeting will first cover this test procedure rulemaking for fluorescent
lamp ballasts, and then the concurrent energy conservation standards
rulemaking (see proposal in today's Federal Register) for the same
products. Any person requesting to speak at the public meeting should
submit such a request, along with an electronic copy of the statement
to be given at the public meeting, before 4 p.m., Monday, April 12,
2010.
    DOE will accept comments, data, and information regarding this
notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) before or after the public
meeting, but no later than June 7, 2010. See section V, ``Public
Participation,'' of this NOPR for details.

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be held at the U.S. Department of
Energy, Forrestal Building, Room 8E-089, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20585-0121. To attend the public meeting, please notify
Ms. Brenda Edwards at (202) 586-2945. Please note that foreign
nationals participating in the public meeting are subject to advance
security screening procedures. If a foreign national wishes to
participate in the workshop, please inform DOE of this fact as soon as
possible by contacting Ms. Brenda Edwards at (202) 586-2945 so that the
necessary procedures can be completed.
    Any comments submitted must identify the Fluorescent Lamp Ballast
Active Mode Test Procedures NOPR, and provide the docket number EERE-
2009-BT-TP-0016 and/or Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 1904-AB99.
Comments may be submitted using any of the following methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the

Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Classifying
Products as Covered Products

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) promulgates a rule to define the term
``household'' and related terms. These definitions provide a basis for
DOE to determine whether the household energy use of products not
currently covered by EPCA meets the levels required for DOE to classify
a product as a ``covered product'' under EPCA; such a classification
would mean that DOE potentially could establish energy conservation
requirements for the covered product. With the ``household'' definition
in place, the Secretary may exercise statutory authority to classify as
covered products additional qualifying consumer products beyond the
products already specified in EPCA, and set test procedures and
efficiency standards for them.

DATES: This rule is effective April 19, 2010.
