Acetic Acid; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation amends the existing tolerance exemption for
acetic acid by establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of acetic acid, also known as vinegar in or on
all food crops resulting from unintentional spray and drift to non-
target vegetation including non-food, food and feed crops when used as
a non-selective contact herbicide spray. SummerSet Products c/o SciReg,
Inc. 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 acetic acid, also known as vinegar.
DATES: This regulation is effective July 14, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before September 13, 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-2010-0561. All documents in the

ANNOUNCEMENT 6
Subject: WATER - PR. EPA. National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Revisions to the Total Coliform Rule
[Federal Register: July 14, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 134)]

National Primary Drinking Water Regulations: Revisions to the
Total Coliform Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
proposing revisions to the 1989 Total Coliform Rule. The proposed
Revised Total Coliform Rule offers a meaningful opportunity for greater
public health protection beyond the current Total Coliform Rule. The
proposed revisions require systems that have an indication of coliform
contamination in the distribution system to assess the problem and take
corrective action that may reduce cases of illnesses and deaths due to
potential fecal contamination and waterborne pathogen exposure. This
proposal also updates provisions in other rules that reference
analytical methods and other requirements in the current TCR (e.g.,
Public Notification and Ground Water Rules). These proposed revisions
are in accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, which
requires EPA to review and revise, as appropriate, each national
primary drinking water regulation promulgated under the Safe Drinking
Water Act not less often than every six years. As with the current
Total Coliform Rule, the proposed Revised Total Coliform Rule applies
to all public water systems.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 13, 2010.

ANNOUNCEMENT 8
Subject: TOXICS, AGRICULTURE - PR. DOT/FMCSA. Hours of Service; Limited Exemption for the Distribution of Anhydrous Ammonia in Agricultural Operations
[Federal Register: July 14, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 134)]

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
49 CFR Part 395
[Docket No. FMCSA-2010-0230]
Hours of Service; Limited Exemption for the Distribution of
Anhydrous Ammonia in Agricultural Operations
AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Proposed exemption; request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its proposal to grant a 2-year, limited
exemption from the Federal hours-of-service regulations for the
transportation of anhydrous ammonia from any distribution point to a
local farm retailer or to the ultimate consumer, and from a local farm
retailer to the ultimate consumer, as long as the transportation takes
place within a 100 air-mile radius of the retail or wholesale
distribution point. This exemption would extend the agricultural
operations exemption established by section 345 of the National Highway
System Designation Act of 1995, as amended, by the sections 4115 and
4130 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation
Equity: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) to certain drivers and motor
carriers engaged in the distribution of anhydrous ammonia during the
planting and harvesting seasons, as defined by the States in which the
carriers and drivers operate. The Agency believes that the exemption
would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or
greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption,
based on the terms and conditions imposed. This exemption would preempt
inconsistent State and local requirements applicable to interstate
commerce.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 13, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Federal Docket
Management System Number FMCSA-2010-0230 by any of the following
methods
Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments on the Federal electronic docket
site.
