Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Classifying
Products as Covered Products

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) promulgates a rule to define the term
``household'' and related terms. These definitions provide a basis for
DOE to determine whether the household energy use of products not
currently covered by EPCA meets the levels required for DOE to classify
a product as a ``covered product'' under EPCA; such a classification
would mean that DOE potentially could establish energy conservation
requirements for the covered product. With the ``household'' definition
in place, the Secretary may exercise statutory authority to classify as
covered products additional qualifying consumer products beyond the
products already specified in EPCA, and set test procedures and
efficiency standards for them.

DATES: This rule is effective April 19, 2010.

Hazardous Waste Technical Corrections and Clarifications Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
taking Direct Final action on a number of technical changes that
correct or clarify several parts of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations that relate to
hazardous waste identification, manifesting, the hazardous waste
generator requirements, standards for owners and operators of hazardous
waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities, standards for the
management of specific types of hazardous waste and specific types of
hazardous waste management facilities, the land disposal restrictions
program, and the hazardous waste permit program. These changes correct
existing errors in the hazardous waste regulations that have occurred
over time in numerous final rules published in the Federal Register,
such as typographical errors, incorrect or outdated citations, and
omissions. Some of the corrections are necessary to make conforming
changes to all appropriate parts of the RCRA hazardous waste
regulations for new rules that have since been promulgated. In
addition, these changes clarify existing parts of the hazardous waste
regulatory program and update references to Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations that have changed since the
publication of various RCRA hazardous waste final rules.

DATES: This Direct Final Rule is effective on June 16, 2010 without
further notice unless EPA receives adverse comments by May 3, 2010. If
adverse comment is received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of
the Direct Final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that
the rule will not take effect.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of tetraethoxysilane, polymer with

2,500 (CAS Reg. No. 104133-09-7) when used as an inert ingredient in a
pesticide chemical formulation under 40 CFR 180.960. Wacker Chemical
Corporation 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 tetraethoxysilane, polymer
with hexamethyldisiloxane, on food or feed commodities.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY:  This notice announces the availability of EPA's notice of
registration review case closure for the pesticide difenzoquat, case

registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, that the pesticide can
perform its intended function without causing unreasonable adverse
effects on human health or the environment. Through this program, EPA
is ensuring that each pesticide's registration is based on current
scientific and other knowledge, including its effects on human health
and the environment.

ANNOUNCEMENT 6

Subject: TOXICS - FRD. DOL/OSHA. Revising the Notification Requirements in the Exposure Determination Provisions of the Hexavalent Chromium Standards
 
[Federal Register: March 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 51)]
[Rules and Regulations]              
[Page 12681-12686]

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

[Docket No. OSHA-H054a-2006-0064]
RIN 1218-AC43

Revising the Notification Requirements in the Exposure
Determination Provisions of the Hexavalent Chromium Standards

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA);
Department of Labor.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On February 28, 2006, OSHA published a final rule for
Occupational Exposure to Hexavalent Chromium (Cr(VI). Public Citizen
Health Research Group (Public Citizen) and other parties petitioned for
review of the standard in the United States Court of Appeals for the
Third Circuit. The court denied the petitions for review on all but one
issue. The Third Circuit remanded the employee notification
requirements in the standard's exposure determination provisions for
further consideration. More specifically, the court directed the Agency
to either provide an explanation for its decision to limit employee
notification requirements to circumstances in which Cr(VI) exposures
exceed the permissible exposure limit (PEL) or take other appropriate
action with respect to that paragraph of the standard. After reviewing
the rulemaking record on this issue, and reconsidering the provision in
question, OSHA has decided to revise the notification requirements, by
means of this direct final rule, to require employers to notify
employees of the results of all exposure determinations.

DATES: This direct final rule will become effective on June 15, 2010
unless significant adverse comment is submitted (transmitted,
postmarked, or delivered) by April 16, 2010. Comments to this direct
final rule, hearing requests, and other information must be submitted
(transmitted, postmarked, or delivered) by April 16, 2010. All
submissions must bear a postmark or provide other evidence of the
submission date.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, hearing requests, and other
materials, identified by Docket No. OSHA-H054a-2006-0064, by any of the
following methods:
    Electronically: You may submit comments and attachments
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov, which is the Federal
eRulemaking Portal. Follow the instructions online for submitting
comments.
    Facsimile: OSHA allows facsimile transmission of comments and
hearing requests that are 10 pages or fewer in length (including
attachments). You can fax these documents to the OSHA Docket Office at
(202) 693-1648; hard copies of these documents are not required.
Instead of transmitting facsimile copies of attachments that supplement
these documents (e.g., studies, journal articles), commenters must
submit these attachments to the OSHA Docket Office, Technical Data
Center, Room N-2625, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20210. These attachments must clearly
identify the sender's name, the date, and the Docket No. (OSHA-H054a-
2006-0064) so that the Agency can attach them to the appropriate
document.
    Regular mail, express delivery, hand (courier) delivery, and
messenger service: Submit comments and any additional material to the
OSHA Docket Office, Docket No. OSHA-H054a-2006-0064 or RIN No. 1218-
