SUMMARY: EPA is extending, until April 6, 2010, the comment period for
the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) published in the
Federal Register on January 6, 2010. In the ANPRM, the Agency
identified the classes of facilities within three industries--the
Chemical Manufacturing industry (NAICS 325), the Petroleum and Coal
Products Manufacturing industry (NAICS 324), and the Electric Power
Generation, Transmission, and Distribution industry (NAICS 2211)--as
those for which the Agency plans to develop, as necessary, proposed
regulations identifying appropriate financial responsibility
requirements under section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). In addition, the
Agency identified the Waste Management and Remediation Services
industry (NAICS 562), the Wood Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS
321), the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS 332),
the Electronics and Electrical Equipment Manufacturing industry (NAICS
334 and 335), as well as facilities engaged in the recycling of
materials containing CERCLA hazardous substances as requiring further
study before EPA decides whether to begin the regulatory development
process. EPA also wants to clarify the proper Docket Identification
Number for the January 2010 ANPRM.

Proposed Significant New Use Rule for Multi-walled Carbon
Nanotubes

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 the
chemical substance identified generically as multi-walled

intend to manufacture, import, or process the substance 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. 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.

Methyl Bromide; Amendments to Terminate Uses

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the amendments to
terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted
by the Agency, of products containing the pesticide methyl bromide
listed in Table 1, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
order follows a September 30, 2009 Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 to amend to
terminate post-harvest methyl bromide uses in or on alfalfa hay and
cottonseed for these product registrations. These are the last products
containing the pesticide methyl bromide registered for use on alfalfa
hay and cotton seed in the United States. In the September 30, 2009
notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the
amendments to terminate uses, unless the Agency received substantive
comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further
review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their
requests within this period. The Agency did not receive any comments on
the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests.
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested amendments to terminate uses. Any distribution,
sale, or use of the 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 February 3, 2010.
