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 the fungal active ingredient Aspergillus
flavus NRRL 21882 on the food and feed commodities of corn: Corn,
field, forage; corn, field, grain; corn, field, stover; corn, field,
aspirated grain fractions; corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husk
removed; corn, sweet, forage; corn, sweet, stover; corn, pop, grain;
and corn, pop, stover when applied/used as an anti-fungal agent to
displace aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus from treated
commodities. Circle One Global, 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 Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882.
DATES: This regulation is effective October 1, 2008. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before December 1, 2008,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a listening session to be held on Friday,
October 10, 2008, for the external review draft document entitled,
``Toxicological Review of Ethylene Glycol Mono Butyl Ether (EGBE): In
Support of Summaiy Information on the Integrated Risk Information
System (IRIS).'' This listening session is a new step in EPA's revised
process, announced on April 10, 2008, for development of human health
assessments for inclusion on IRIS. 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 prior to the external peer
review meeting. EPA welcomes the scientific and technical 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 external peer review and public comments. All
presentations will become part of the official and public record.
The EPA's draft assessment and peer review charge are available via
the Internet on the National Center for Environmental Assessment's
(NCEA) home page under the Recent Additions and the Data and
Publications menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea.
DATES: The listening session on the draft IRIS health assessment for
Ethylene Glycol Mono Butyl Ether (EGBE) will be held on Friday, October
10, 2008, beginning at 9 am and ending at 4 pm, Eastern Daylight Time.
If you wish to make a presentation at the listening session, you should
register by Wednesday, October 8, 2008, and indicate that you wish to

however, there are more requests for presentations than the allotted
time will allow, then the time limit for each presentation will be
adjusted accordingly. A copy of the agenda for the listening session
will be available at the meeting. If no speakers have registered by
Wednesday, October 8, 2008, the listening session will be cancelled.
EPA will notify those registered to attend of the cancellation.

parties during the public comment period and prior to the external peer
review meeting. EPA welcomes the scientific and technical 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 external peer review and public comments. All
presentations will become part of the official and public record.
The EPA's draft assessment and peer review charge are available via
the Internet on the National Center for Environmental Assessment's
(NCEA) home page under the Recent Additions and the Data and
Publications menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea.
DATES: The listening session on the draft IRIS health assessment for
Ethylene Glycol Mono Butyl Ether (EGBE) will be held on Friday, October
10, 2008, beginning at 9 am and ending at 4 pm, Eastern Daylight Time.

register by Wednesday, October 8, 2008, and indicate that you wish to

presentation. At the time of your registration, please indicate if you
