Elemental Mercury Used in Flow Meters, Natural Gas Manometers,
and Pyrometers; Proposed Significant New Use Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY:  EPA is proposing a significant new use rule (SNUR) under
section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for
elemental mercury (CAS No. 7439-97-6) for use in flow meters, natural
gas manometers, and pyrometers, except for use in these articles when
they are in service as of the effective date of the final rule. This
action would require persons who intend to manufacture (including
import) or process elemental mercury for an activity that is designated
as a significant new use by this proposed rule to notify EPA at least
90 days before commencing that activity. Persons subject to the
provisions of this proposed rule would not be exempt from significant
new use reporting if they import into the United States or process
elemental mercury as part of an article. The required notification
would provide EPA with the opportunity to evaluate the intended use
and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit that activity before it occurs.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 10, 2009.

Proposed Suspension and Modification of Nationwide Permit 21

AGENCY: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of public hearings.

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

SUMMARY: In the July 15, 2009, issue of the Federal Register (74 FR
34311) the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a proposal to take
two actions concerning Nationwide Permit 21, which authorizes
discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States
for surface coal mining activities. The two proposed actions are to
suspend NWP 21 to prohibit its use to authorize surface coal mining
activities in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, and then to modify NWP 21 to
make that prohibition permanent until NWP 21 expires on March 18, 2012.
In the July 15, 2009, notice we also offered commenters opportunity to
request a public hearing. In the August 13, 2009, issue of the Federal
Register (74 FR 40815), we extended the comment period to September 14,
2009. We have received several requests to hold public hearings, and
have determined that hearings would afford us the opportunity to gain
additional information to assist us in reaching decisions on these two
proposed actions. Therefore, we will be holding public hearings in each
of the six affected states. Written comments to supplement the hearing
records may be submitted until October 26, 2009.

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for public hearing dates.
Written comments to supplement the hearing records may be submitted
until October 26, 2009.
