Lead Fishing Sinkers; Disposition of TSCA Section 21 Petition
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 3, 2010, several groups filed a petition under the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 21 requesting that EPA
prohibit under TSCA section 6(a) the manufacture, processing, and
distribution in commerce of (1) lead bullets and shot; and (2) lead
fishing sinkers. On August 27, 2010, EPA denied the first request due
to a lack of authority to regulate lead in bullets and shot under TSCA.
EPA's decision was based on the exclusion of shells and cartridges from
the definition of ``chemical substance'' in TSCA section 3(2)(B)(v). On
November 4, 2010, EPA denied the second request. This notice explains
EPA's reasons for the denial of the request specific to fishing
sinkers.

ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document describes EPA's draft policies and procedures
for requiring Tier 1 screening under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening

FFDCA section 408(p) directed EPA to develop a chemical screening
program using appropriate validated test systems and other
scientifically relevant information to determine whether certain
substances may have hormonal effects. These draft policies and
procedures are intended to supplement the existing EDSP policies and
procedures that were published in the Federal Register on April 15,
2009 (74 FR 17560); however, this document was drafted with the intent

SUMMARY: The Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) of
EPA recently made available a draft report, Policy Assessment for the
Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Oxides of Nitrogen and Oxides of Sulfur: Second External Review Draft
(75 FR 57463, September 21, 2010). The EPA released this preliminary
draft document to seek early consultation with the Clean Air Scientific
Advisory Committee (CASAC) and to solicit public comment on the overall
structure, framing of key issues and conclusions regarding options for
key elements of the standards. Four supplementary materials were
released at a later date (75 FR 61486, October 5, 2010). The
supplementary materials were: an errata sheet for Chapter 5; an
addendum for Chapter 5; an additional Table 7-1 (summary of key
uncertainties); and an additional table for Chapter 9 (summary of
options for elements of the nitrogen oxides (NOX ) and sulfur
oxides (SOX ) standard). Comments were originally scheduled
to be submitted on or before November 12, 2010. A request for an
extension to the comment period has been received. The EPA is granting
this extension to allow stakeholders and the public with adequate time
to conduct appropriate analysis and meaningful comments. Therefore, the
comment period is being moved from November 12, 2010, to November 26,
2010.
