ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of public comment period, notice of availability of draft economic analysis and draft environmental assessment, and amended Required Determinations. AGENCY: SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), announce the reopening of the public comment period on the proposal to designate critical habitat for the Contiguous United States Distinct Population Segment of the Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), the availability of the draft economic analysis and draft environmental assessment of the proposed designation of critical habitat, and an amended Required Determinations section of the proposal. The draft economic analysis estimates the potential total future costs to range from $175 million to $889 million in undiscounted dollars over the next 20 years. Discounted future costs are estimated to be from $125 million to $411 million over 20 years ($8.38 million to $27.6 million annually) using a 3 percent discount rate, or $99.9 million to $259 million over 20 years ($9.43 million to $24.4 million annually) using a 7 percent discount rate. The amended Required Determinations section provides our determination concerning compliance with applicable statues and Executive Orders that we have deferred until the information from the draft economic analysis of this proposal was available. We are reopening the comment period to allow all interested parties to comment simultaneously on the proposed rule, the associated draft economic analysis and draft environmental assessment, and the amended Required Determinations section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Comments Solicited We will accept written comments and information during this reopened comment period. We solicit comments on the original proposed critical habitat designation for the Canada lynx (lynx), published in the Federal Register on November 9, 2005 (70 FR 68294), the clarification of the proposed critical habitat, published in the Federal Register on February 16, 2006 (71 FR 8258), on our draft economic analysis of the proposed designation, and on our draft environmental assessment of the proposed designation. We particularly seek comments concerning: (1) The reasons any habitat should or should not be determined to be critical habitat as provided by section 4 of the Act, including whether it is prudent to designate critical habitat; (2) Specific information on the amount and distribution of lynx habitat in the contiguous United States, and what occupied habitat has features that are essential to the conservation of the species and why and what unoccupied habitat is essential to the conservation of the species and why; (3) Comments or information that may assist us with identifying or clarifying the Primary Constituent Elements (PCEs); (4) Land use designations and current or planned activities in areas proposed as critical habitat and their possible impacts on proposed critical habitat; (5) Any foreseeable economic, national security, or other potential impacts resulting from the proposed designation and, in particular, any impacts on small entities in timber activities, residential and commercial development, recreation, and mining; (6) As discussed in this proposed rule, we are considering whether some of the lands we have identified as having features essential for the conservation of the lynx should not be included in the final designation of critical habitat if, E:\FR\FM\11SEP1.SGM 11SEP1

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
adjust the reportable quantity (RQ) for Isophorone Diisocyanate (IPDI). 
Reportable quantities for many of the Extremely Hazardous Substances 
(EHSs) under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act

final rule on May 7, 1996. On September 8, 2003, EPA modified the TPQ 
for IPDI to 500 pounds. However, EPA inadvertantly omitted an RQ 
adjustment for this substance. Therefore, EPA is now proposing to 
adjust the RQ for IPDI to be 500 pounds.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of the Federal Register, 
we are revising the RQ for Isophorone Diisocyanate to 500 pounds 
without prior proposal because we view the revision as noncontroversial 
and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for 
this approach in the preamble to the direct final rule.
    If we receive adverse comment on this revision, however, we will 
withdraw this direct final action and it will not take effect. We will 
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this
