Acetamiprid, Mepiquat; Order Denying NRDC's Objections on Remand:
Environmental Protection Agency
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this order, EPA again denies objections by the Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to actions establishing tolerance
regulations for the pesticides acetamiprid and mepiquat under section
408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EPA's previous
denial of NRDC's objections, published in the Federal Register on
August 10, 2005, was remanded to EPA by the U.S. Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit, for further explanation of EPA's decision on the
application of the FFDCA's requirement concerning an additional safety
factor for the protection of infants and children to these pesticide
tolerances. On remand, EPA is denying NRDC's objections because the
objections are now either moot or not sufficient to justify the relief
requested.
DATES: This order is effective August 6, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0190. To access the

Pymetrozine; Regulation Denying NRDC's Objections on Remand
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final Regulation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In this regulation, EPA again denies objections by the Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to an action establishing tolerance
regulations for the pesticide pymetrozine under section 408 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EPA's previous denial of
NRDC's objections, published in the Federal Register on August 10,
2005, was remanded to EPA by the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit,
for further explanation of EPA's decision on the application of the
FFDCA's requirement concerning an additional tenfold safety factor for
the protection of infants and children to these pesticide tolerances.
In the challenged action, EPA had applied a reduced additional safety
factor to several risk assessments for pymetrozine. EPA has reviewed
its decision on the children's safety factor in light of the current
data on pymetrozine and now determined that the full additional
children's safety factor should be applied in assessing the risk of the
pymetrozine tolerances. However, EPA still denies NRDC's objections
because the increase in the children's safety factor does not change
EPA's conclusion that the tolerances are safe. EPA's explanation for
its decisions on the children's safety factor and the safety of
pymetrozine tolerances are included in this regulation.
DATES: This regulation is effective August 6, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before October 5, 2010,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Rural Business-Cooperative Service
Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for Renewable Energy
Feasibility Studies Grants Under the Rural Energy for America Program
AGENCY: Rural Business-Cooperative Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Rural Energy for America Program, formerly section 9006
under the 2002 Farm Bill, is composed of several types of grants and
guaranteed loan programs. These are: Guaranteed loans and grants for
the development/construction of renewable energy systems and for energy
efficiency improvement projects; grants for conducting energy audits;
grants for conducting renewable energy development assistance; and
grants for conducting renewable energy feasibility studies.
The Agency is implementing the Rural Energy for America Program
(REAP) for Fiscal Year 2010 through the publication of three REAP
notices:
Renewable energy system and energy efficiency improvement
grants and guaranteed loans;
Energy audit and renewable energy development assistance
grants; and
Renewable energy feasibility study grants.
This REAP Notice announces the availability of $3,000,000 for
fiscal year (FY) 2010 to conduct feasibility studies for renewable
energy systems for agriculture producers and rural small businesses.
This funding will be available in the form of grants. Funds that are
not awarded under this notice will be made available for the Rural
Energy for America Program in FY 2011.
Lastly, the Agency intends to publish a proposed rule that will
revise the current program at 7 CFR 4280, subpart B to include
renewable energy feasibility study grants, and that will add a new
subpart C to address energy audit and renewable energy development
assistance grants. Together, these two subparts will represent the
Rural Energy for America Program as authorized under section 9007 of
the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 as amended by
section 9001 of the Food, Energy, and Conservation Act of 2008. The
Agency anticipates publishing final regulations to operate the Rural
Energy for America Program in fiscal year 2011.
DATES: Complete applications under this Notice must be received by the
appropriate USDA Rural Development
State Office no later than 4:30 local time October 5, 2010. Neither
complete nor incomplete applications received after this date and time
will be considered for funding in FY 2010, regardless of the postmark
on the application.
ADDRESSES: Application materials may be obtained by contacting one of
