Notice of Availability of a Draft NOAA Climate Service Strategic
Vision and Framework for Public Review, and Notice of Informational
Webinar Meetings

ACTION: Notice of availability of a draft NOAA Climate Service
strategic vision and framework for public review, and notice of
informational webinar meetings.

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

SUMMARY: On February 8, 2010, the Department of Commerce and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced their
intent to establish a new NOAA Climate Service (NCS). The new service
will directly support NOAA's vision of ``an informed society that uses
a comprehensive understanding of the role of the oceans, coasts, and
atmosphere in the global ecosystem to make the best social and economic
decisions.'' It will also contribute to NOAA's mission ``to understand
and anticipate changes in Earth's environment, and conserve and manage
coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social and
environmental needs.'' The reorganization of existing agency assets is
intended to help NOAA better work with our partners to respond to the
growing demands for climate information from the public, business,
industry, local, state and Federal agencies, and decision makers.
    As part of the process to establish a new NCS, NOAA recently
completed a strategic vision and framework document that describes how
NOAA proposes to respond to society's growing need for climate
services. The document describes the vision and outlines how the NCS
can achieve new strategic goals related to the delivery and development
of reliable, timely, and authoritative climate science and service to
enable a climate-resilient society to grow and prosper.
    NOAA will accept comments on the strategic vision from September 21
to midnight on October 18, 2010. A copy of the draft document and
instructions on how to submit comments can be found at http://
www.noaa.gov/climate.
    NOAA is also hosting a series of informational webinars for
individuals and organizations to learn more about the proposed NCS
vision and timeline and to provide an opportunity for to answer
questions, and obtain feedback. Each webinar is targeted to a specific
sector, and will begin with a presentation from Dr. Chet Koblinsky,
Director, NOAA Climate Program Office and Transitional Deputy Director,
NOAA Climate service, and will be followed by a question and answer
session.

DATES: The webinar meeting dates are:
    1. Friday, September 24, 2010, 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EST, for the
academic research community.
    2. Friday, September 24, 2010, 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST, for state
and local government officials.
    3. Wednesday, September 29, 2010, 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, for the
corporate and business community.
    4. Thursday, September 30, 2010, 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. EST, for non-
governmental and non-profit organizations.
    For specific instructions for each webinar, please visit http://
www.noaa.gov/climateresources/meetings. Additional information about
the proposed NOAA Climate Service, including questions and answers can
be found at http://www.noaa.gov/climate.

intend to manufacture, import, or process any of these 25 chemical
substances for an activity that is designated as a significant new use
by this rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that
activity. The required notification will provide EPA with the
opportunity to evaluate the intended use and, if necessary, to prohibit
or limit that activity before it occurs.

DATES: This rule is effective on November 19, 2010. For purposes of
judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. (e.s.t.) on

[Federal Register: September 17, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 180)]
[Rules and Regulations]

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2008-0252; FRL-8835-5]
RIN 2070-AB27

Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes;
Significant New Use Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing significant new use rules (SNURs) under section
5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for two chemical
substances which were the subject of Premanufacture Notices (PMNs). The
two chemical substances are identified generically as multi-walled
carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) (PMN P-08-177) and single-walled carbon
nanotubes (SWCNT) (PMN P-08-328). This action requires persons who
intend to manufacture, import, or process either of these two chemical
substances for a use that is designated as a significant new use by
this final rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that
activity. EPA believes that this action is necessary because these
chemical substances may be hazardous to human health and the
environment. 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: This final rule is effective October 18, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2008-0252. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://
www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the OPPT Docket. The OPPT Docket is located in the EPA Docket
Center (EPA/DC) at Rm. 3334, EPA West Bldg., 1301 Constitution Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room hours of operation

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Addressing Policy and Logistical Challenges to Smart Grid
Implementation

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability,
Department of Energy.

ACTION: Request for Information.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is seeking comments from
interested parties on policy and logistical challenges that confront
smart grid implementation, as well as recommendations on how to best
overcome those challenges. DOE is undertaking this Request for
Information (RFI) on behalf of the Administration and in consultation
with key stakeholders from state regulatory bodies. The RFI will assist
these parties as they seek to assure smart grid deployments benefit consumers, the
economy and the environment. In particular, comments on the RFI will
help inform the Administration's analysis of policy challenges and
possible solutions being developed by the Smart Grid Subcommittee of
the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Technology.
The Subcommittee seeks to base its analysis on an up-to-date
understanding of the context in which smart grid technologies, business
models and policies operate. This is the third in a series of RFIs
issued by DOE regarding smart grid implementation. Prior RFIs sought
comment on data access, data usage and privacy issues, and on
communications requirements for the smart grid. In this RFI, DOE seeks
specific input on: the best way to define the term ``smart grid'' for
policymaking purposes; the consumer-level benefits from, and challenges
to, smart grid deployment; the benefits and challenges associated with
smart grid implementation on the ``utility side'' of the meter; the
ways in which policy makers at all levels of government can share
experience and resources; and the broader, economy-wide benefits and
challenges associated with the smart grid. In so doing, this RFI avoids
duplicating questions that were raised in prior RFIs.

DATES: Comments must be transmitted or postmarked by no later than
November 1, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by ``Smart Grid RFI:
Addressing Policy and Logistical Challenges'' via any of the following
methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov (following
the instructions for submitting comments);
    E-mail: smartgridpolicy@hq.doe.gov. Include ``Smart Grid RFI:
Addressing Policy and Logistical Challenges'' in the subject line of
the message; or
    Mail: U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Room 8H033,
Washington, DC 20585.

Specialist (202) 287-5718. For media inquiries you may contact Tiffany
