Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts; Amendments to Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellation and/or
amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrant

sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate and/or potassium
dimethyldithiocarbamate, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
cancellation order follows a September 16, 2009 Federal Register Notice
of Receipt of Requests from dimethyldithiocarbamate salts registrants
to voluntarily cancel and/or amend to terminate uses of some of their
dimethyldithiocarbamate salts product registrations. These are not the
last dimethyldithiocarbamate salts products registered for use in the
United States. In the September 16, 2009 notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order implementing the cancellations and amendments to
terminate uses, unless the Agency received substantive comments within
the 180-day comment period that would merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrant withdrew its requests within this
period. The Agency did not receive any comments on the notice. Further,
the registrant did not withdraw its requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby
issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested
product cancellation and amendments to terminate uses. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate and
potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate products subject to this cancellation
order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks provisions.

DATES: The cancellations are effective April 21, 2010.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing an extension of the public comment
period for a draft assessment document titled, Policy Assessment for
the Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur: First External Review Draft
(75 FR 11877; March 12, 2010). The comment period was originally
scheduled to end on April 29, 2010. The extended comment period will
close on May 13, 2010. The Agency is extending the comment period by
two weeks to provide the public with adequate time to conduct
appropriate analysis and prepare meaningful comments.

policy assessment by two weeks, EPA is committed to issuing a proposal
addressing the nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulfur oxides
(SOX) secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) by July 12, 2011. The extension also will not alter EPA's
internal schedule for providing a second draft policy assessment for
review by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) by the
end of July 2010.
    The public is encouraged to submit comments by the end of the
original comment period to ensure that EPA has adequate time to
evaluate and respond to those comments. However, all comments received
by May 13, 2010, will be considered in developing the second draft
policy assessment.

                from daily demands, renew our spirits, and enhance our
                fondest memories, whether they are fishing with a

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Proposed TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline
Project.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of State (DOS) has prepared a draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Proposed TransCanada
Keystone XL Pipeline Project. On September 19, 2008, TransCanada
Keystone Pipeline, LP (Keystone) filed an application for a
Presidential permit for the construction, operation, and maintenance of
pipeline facilities at the border of the U.S. and Canada for the
transport of crude oil across the U.S.-Canada international boundary.
The Secretary of State is designated and empowered to receive all

Order 13337, as amended, for the construction, connection, operation,
or maintenance, at the borders of the United States, of facilities for
the exportation or importation of petroleum, petroleum products, coal,
or other fuels to or from a foreign country. Keystone has requested
authorization to construct and operate border crossing facilities at
the U.S.-Canadian border in Phillips County, near Morgan, Montana, in
connection with its proposed international pipeline project (the
Keystone XL Pipeline Project) that is designed to transport Canadian
crude oil production from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB)
to destinations in the south central United States, including to an
existing oil terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma, and to existing delivery
points in the Port Arthur and East Houston areas of Texas.

Categorical Exclusions From Environmental Review

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its
regulations that describe the categories of actions which do not
require an environmental review under the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as the NRC has determined that
such actions do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. The amended regulations eliminate the
need for the preparation of environmental assessments for NRC actions
that are minor, administrative, or procedural in nature. The amendments
do not change any requirements for licensees, but may provide for more
time for NRC action on more substantial issues and/or speed up the
process for review of the amendments.

DATES: This final rule is effective on April 19, 2010.

Residential Water Heaters, Direct Heating Equipment, and Pool Heaters

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is amending the existing
energy conservation standards for residential water heaters (other than
tabletop and electric instantaneous models), gas-fired direct heating
equipment, and gas-fired pool heaters. It has determined that the
amended energy conservation standards for these products would result
in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible
and economically justified.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is June 15, 2010. Compliance
with the amended standards established for residential water heaters in
today's final rule is required starting on April 16, 2015, and
compliance with the standards established for DHE and pool heaters is
required starting on April 16, 2013.

ADDRESSES: For access to the docket to read background documents, the
technical support document, transcripts of the public meetings in this
proceeding, or comments received, visit the U.S. Department of Energy,
Resource Room of the Building Technologies Program, 950 L'Enfant Plaza,

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Aggregation; Reconsideration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to a proceeding for reconsideration, the EPA requests
comment on a Clean Air Act (CAA) rule, the New Source Review (NSR)
Aggregation Amendments, which was promulgated on January 15, 2009. The
NSR Aggregation Amendments established a new interpretation of the
existing NSR rules governing the modification of major sources by
requiring sources and permitting authorities to combine emissions from
nominally-separate activities at a major stationary source only when
the activities are ``substantially related.'' This proposed
reconsideration is in response to a petition from the Natural Resources
Defense Council (NRDC) received on January 30, 2009. EPA requests
public comment on all issues included in NRDC's petition. In light of
the legal and policy issues raised in the petition and in our own
review of the rule, EPA's preferred option is to revoke the NSR
Aggregation Amendments. EPA is also proposing to extend the effective
date of the stay by an additional 6 months, and soliciting comment on a
longer extension of the stay.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before May 17, 2010.
    Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting the opportunity
to speak at a public hearing concerning the proposed regulation by
April 26, 2010, EPA will hold a public hearing on April 30, 2010. If a
hearing is held, the record for the hearing will remain open until June
1, 2010.

OAR-2003-0064, by one of the following methods:
