We note that the submitted Denver, Colorado, carbon monoxide maintenance plan proposes revisions to the previously approved 2013 carbon monoxide MVEB for Denver. The submitted Longmont, Colorado, carbon monoxide maintenance plan proposes changes to the previously approved 2010 and 2015 carbon monoxide MVEBs for Longmont. The submitted Denver, Colorado, PM10 maintenance plan proposes changes to the previously approved 2015 PM10 and NOX MVEBs for Denver. However, 40 CFR 93.118 (e)(1) does not allow budgets in submitted plans to supersede MVEBs in approved implementation plans for the same Clean Air Act requirement and the same years addressed by a previously approved implementation plan unless EPA specifies otherwise in its approval of a SIP, a circumstance that does not apply here. Thus, this adequacy finding does not make any changes to these previously approved budgets. These budgets will be addressed in EPA’s action regarding the approval or disapproval of the maintenance plans. The submitted Denver PM10 maintenance plan includes a budget trading protocol for calculating the PM10 and NOX budgets for each conformity determination. That protocol will be addressed in EPA’s action to approve or disapprove the maintenance plan; this adequacy finding has no bearing on that action and does not authorize the use of the budget trading protocol.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA’s Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division in cooperation with the Registration Division and the Field and External Affairs Division will host a public workshop on June 19, 2007. The purpose of the workshop is to share technical information on updates and latest developments in repellents efficacy testing, and alternatives to human subjects testing for efficacy of skin-applied repellents. Experts in product performance testing from other agencies of the Federal government, Department of Defense, United States Department of Agriculture, Centers for Disease Control, and private laboratories have been invited and are expected to attend. The invitation is also extended to the general public. Proceedings from this meeting will inform EPA for completing OPPTS Harmonized Guideline 810.3700. The revised OPPTS Harmonized 810.3700 testing guideline, Product Performance of Skin-Applied Repellents of Insect and other Arthropods, has already been through the Science Advisory Panel and the Human Studies Review Board review in recent years. The guideline provides guidance for adequate testing of performance of skin-applied repellents on insects and other arthropods of human health significance.
