ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0714; FRL-8816-3]

Cloquintocet-mexyl; Pesticide Tolerances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is amending 40 CFR 180.560 to add a reference to the
active ingredient flucarbazone-sodium (wheat only) to the tolerance for
the inert ingredient cloquintocet-mexyl (acetic acid [(5-chloro-8-
quinolinyl) oxy]-, 1-methylhexyl ester; CAS Reg. No. 99607-70-2) and
its acid metabolite (5-chloro-8-quinolinoxyacetic acid) on wheat
forage, wheat grain, wheat hay, and wheat straw. Arysta LifeScience
North America, LLC requested this tolerance amendment under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).

DATES: This regulation is effective March 31, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before June 1, 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
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0714. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 51 and 52

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0014: FRL-9131-9; 2060-AP73]

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions; Final Rule;
Stay

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this final action, EPA is issuing a stay for 18 months of
the inclusion of fugitive emissions requirements in the federal
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program published in the
Federal Register on December 19, 2008, in the final rule entitled,
``Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New
Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Fugitive Emissions''
(``Fugitive Emissions Rule''). The Fugitive Emissions Rule under the
federal PSD program requires that fugitive emissions be included in
determining whether a physical or operational change results in a major
modification only for sources in industries that have been designated
through rulemaking under section 302(j) of the Clean Air Act (Act or
CAA). The existing stay is in effect for 3 months; that is, from
December 31, 2009 until March 31, 2010. This action puts in place an
additional stay for 18 months, which we believe will allow for
sufficient time for EPA to propose, take public comment on, and issue a
final action concerning the inclusion of fugitive emissions in the
federal PSD program.

DATES: The amendments to 40 CFR parts 51 and 52 in this rule are
effective from April 1, 2010 through October 3, 2011. Effective April
1, 2010, the following Code of Federal Regulations sections are
administratively stayed until October 3, 2011: 40 CFR

(EPA/635/R-10/003). The draft assessment was prepared by the National
Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within EPA's Office of
Research and Development (ORD). The public comment period and external
peer review meeting, which will be scheduled at a later date and
announced in the Federal Register, are separate processes that provide
opportunities for all interested parties to comment on the assessment.
EPA intends to forward the public comments that are submitted in
accordance with this notice to the peer review panel prior to the
meeting for their consideration. When finalizing the draft assessment,
EPA intends to consider any public comments that EPA receives in
accordance with this notice.
    EPA is also announcing a listening session to be held on May 11,
2010, during the public comment period for this draft assessment. This
listening session is a step in EPA's revised IRIS process, announced on
May 21, 2009, for developing human health assessments for inclusion in
the IRIS database. The purpose of the listening session is to allow all
interested parties to present scientific and technical comments on
draft IRIS health assessments to EPA and other interested parties
during the public comment period and before the peer review meeting.
EPA welcomes the comments that will be provided to the Agency by the
listening session participants. The comments will be considered by the
Agency as it revises the draft assessment in response to the
independent SAB peer review and the public comments. All presentations
submitted to EPA according to the instructions below will become part
of the official public record.
    EPA is releasing this draft assessment solely for the purpose of
pre-dissemination peer review under applicable information quality
guidelines. This assessment has not been formally disseminated by EPA.
It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any
Agency policy or determination.

DATES: The public comment period begins March 31, 2010, and ends June
1, 2010. Comments should be in writing and must be received by EPA by
June 1, 2010.

the allotted time allows, then the time limit for each presentation
will be adjusted. A copy of the agenda for the listening session will
be available at the meeting. If no speakers have registered by May 4,
2010, the listening session will be cancelled, and EPA will notify
those registered of the cancellation.
    Listening session participants who want EPA to share their comments
with the external peer reviewers should also submit written comments
during the public comment period using the detailed and established

facilities on the CERCLA NPL. Among these statutory requirements is a
mandate for the Administrator of ATSDR to prepare toxicological
profiles for each substance included on the Priority List of Hazardous
Substances. This identifies 275 hazardous substances that ATSDR and EPA
have determined pose the most significant potential threat to human
health (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/cercla/07list.html). The availability

Subject: MI/ENERGY/Nuclear - ND. NRC. Detroit Edison Company; Fermi 2; Exemption
 
[Federal Register: March 30, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 60)]
[Notices]              
[Page 15748-15749]

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-341; NRC-2010-0099]

Detroit Edison Company; Fermi 2; Exemption

1.0 Background

    Detroit Edison Company (the licensee) is the holder of Facility
Operating License No. NPF-43, which authorizes operation of Fermi 2.
The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject
to all rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC, the Commission) now or hereafter in effect.
    The facility consists of one boiling-water reactor located in
Monroe County, Michigan.

2.0 Request/Action

    Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 73,
``Physical protection of plants and materials,'' Section 73.55,
``Requirements for physical protection of licensed activities in
nuclear power reactors against radiological sabotage,'' published March
27, 2009, effective May 26, 2009, with a full implementation date of
March 31, 2010, requires licensees to protect, with high assurance,
against radiological sabotage by designing and implementing
comprehensive site security programs. The amendments to 10 CFR 73.55
published on March 27, 2009, establish and update generically
applicable security requirements similar to those previously imposed by
Commission orders issued after the terrorist attacks of September 11,
2001, and implemented by licensees. In addition, the amendments to 10
CFR 73.55 include additional requirements to further enhance site
security based upon insights gained from implementation of the post-
September 11, 2001, security orders. It is from five of these new
requirements that Fermi 2 now seeks an exemption from the March 31,
2010, implementation date. All other physical security requirements
established by this recent rulemaking have already been or will be
implemented by the licensee by March 31, 2010.
    By letter dated November 19, 2009, as supplemented by letter dated
December 23, 2009, the licensee requested an exemption in accordance
with 10 CFR 73.5, ``Specific exemptions.'' The licensee's November 19,
2009, and December 23, 2009, letters, have certain portions which
contain proprietary and safeguards information and, accordingly, are
not available to the public. The licensee has requested an exemption
from the March 31, 2010, compliance date stating that it must complete
a number of significant modifications to the current site security
configuration before all requirements can be met. Specifically, the
request is to extend the compliance date for five requirements that
would be in place by May 31, 2011, versus the March 31, 2010, deadline.
Being granted this exemption for the five requirements would allow the
licensee to complete the modifications designed to update aging
equipment and incorporate state-of-the-art technology to meet or exceed
the noted regulatory requirements. . .

4.0 Conclusion for Part 73 Schedule Exemption Request

    The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's submittals and concludes
that the licensee has provided adequate justification for its request
for an extension of the compliance date to May 31, 2011, with regard to
five specified requirements of 10 CFR 73.55.

factors provide a health or technical basis to support a regulatory
revision that will improve or strengthen public health protection. EPA
has completed its detailed review of 71 NPDWRs and at this time
believes that four NPDWRs are candidates for regulatory revision. These
four NPDWRs are acrylamide, epichlorohydrin, tetrachloroethylene, and
trichloroethylene. EPA requests public comment and/or relevant
information that will assist the Agency as we move forward with
regulatory action to revise these four NPDWRs. In addition to the 71
NPDWRs discussed in detail in today's action, this review also includes
14 other NPDWRs that need no detailed review because of recent or
ongoing revision actions.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 28, 2010, 60 days
after publication in the Federal Register.

Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Changes to Renewable Fuel
Standard Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Clean Air Act Section 211(o), as amended by the
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), the Environmental
Protection Agency is required to promulgate regulations implementing
changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard program. The revised statutory
requirements specify the volumes of cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based
diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that must be used in
transportation fuel. This action finalizes the regulations that
implement the requirements of EISA, including the cellulosic, biomass-
based diesel, advanced biofuel, and renewable fuel standards that will
apply to all gasoline and diesel produced or imported in 2010. The
final regulations make a number of changes to the current Renewable
Fuel Standard program while retaining many elements of the compliance
and trading system already in place. This final rule also implements
the revised statutory definitions and criteria, most notably the new
greenhouse gas emission thresholds for renewable fuels and new limits
on renewable biomass feedstocks. This rulemaking marks the first time
that greenhouse gas emission performance is being applied in a
regulatory context for a nationwide program. As mandated by the
statute, our greenhouse gas emission assessments consider the full
lifecycle emission impacts of fuel production from both direct and
indirect emissions, including significant emissions from land use
changes. In carrying out our lifecycle analysis we have taken steps to
ensure that the lifecycle estimates are based on the latest and most
up-to-date science. The lifecycle greenhouse gas assessments reflected
in this rulemaking represent significant improvements in analysis based
on information and data received since the proposal. However, we also
recognize that lifecycle GHG assessment of biofuels is an evolving
discipline and will continue to revisit our lifecycle analyses in the
future as new information becomes available. EPA plans to ask the
National Academy of Sciences for assistance as we move forward. Based
on current analyses we have determined that ethanol from corn starch
will be able to comply with the required greenhouse gas (GHG) threshold
for renewable fuel. Similarly, biodiesel can be produced to comply with
the 50% threshold for biomass-based diesel, sugarcane with the 50%
threshold for advanced biofuel and multiple cellulosic-based fuels with
their 60% threshold. Additional fuel pathways have also been determined
to comply with their thresholds. The assessment for this rulemaking
also indicates the increased use of renewable fuels will have important
environmental, energy and economic impacts for our Nation.

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 1, 2010, and the percentage
standards apply to all gasoline and diesel produced or imported in
2010. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of July
1, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2005-0161. All documents in the docket are listed in the

funds (``grantee'') has taken substantial steps to commit funds for the
purchase of LED lights or HVAC units between February 17, 2009 and
March 31, 2010. Substantial steps to commit funds would include, but
are not limited to: (1) issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) on or
before March 31, 2010 (applicable only where the grantee accepts a
proposal received under that RFP); (2) in the case of a sole source
selection: placing an order for the goods on or before March 31, 2010;
(3) commencing a bidding process on or before March 31, 2010; (4) in
circumstances where the grantee solicited quotes without an RFP: the
grantee purchases the goods based on a quote dated on or before March
31, 2010 and the order for the goods is placed on or before March 31,
2010; and (5) grantee has executed a contract or purchase agreement
with a supplier to acquire affected goods between February 17, 2009 and
