In the Federal Register of March 9, 2005, EPA requested public comment on a December 17, 2004 petition from the States of New York, California, and Connecticut and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, available in docket number OPP-2005-0050, requesting that the Agency modify or revoke all tolerances for the pesticides alachlor, chlorothalonil, methomyl, metribuzin, and thiodicarb. The petitioner States request this action to obtain what they believe would be proper application of the additional ten-fold safety factor for the protection of infants and children as provided by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). The Agency received two requests to extend the comment period. EPA is hereby reopening the comment period, which ended on May 9, 2005. The new comment period will end on June 15, 2005.

Notice is hereby given that the State of Oregon has revised its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision (PWSS) Primacy Program. Oregon has adopted drinking water regulations for Public Notification, Radionuclides, Filter Backwash Recycling, Arsenic, Variances and Exemptions, and Enhanced Surface Water Treatment for systems serving less than 10,000 people. EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding federal regulations. Therefore, EPA intends on approving these State program revisions. This approval action does not extend to public water systems (PWSs) in Indian Country, as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. By approving these rules, EPA does not intend to affect the rights of Federally recognized Indian tribes in Idaho, nor does it intend to limit existing rights of the State of Oregon. All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request for a public hearing must be submitted by June 15, 2005 to the Regional Administrator at the address shown below. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made by June 15, 2005, a public hearing will be held. If no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own motion, this determination shall become final and effective on June 15, 2005. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following information: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; (2) a brief statement of the requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's determination and a brief statement of the information that the requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; (3) the signature of the individual making the request, or if the request is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the organization or other entity.
