exemption in 40 CFR 180.1111 for
residues of the fungicide Bacillus
subtilis GB03 tolerance in or on all raw
agricultural commodities when applied
as a seed treatment for growing
agricultural crops in accordance with
good agricultural practice. Because this
petition is a request for an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance
without numerical limitations, no
analytical method is required. Contact:

proposes to establish an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance for
residues of the plant-incorporated
protectant, Bacillus thuringiensis

Vip3Aa19 and Vip3Aa20 proteins in all
plants; however, this original request
was amended by Syngenta in a letter to
the Agency dated September 6, 2007 to
Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3Aa proteins
in all plants. The petition includes a
reference to a description of the
analytical methods available to EPA for

Final Notice of Data Availability for
EGU NOX Annual and NOX Ozone
Season Allocations for the Clean Air
Interstate Rule Federal Implementation
Plan Trading Programs
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of data availability
(NODA).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On March 15, 2006, EPA
promulgated Federal Implementation
Plans (FIPs) for all States covered by the
Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). The
CAIR FIPs will regulate electric
generating units (EGUs) in the affected
States and achieve the emission
reductions required by CAIR until each
affected State has an approved CAIR
State Implementation Plan (SIP) to
achieve the reductions. EPA will
withdraw a State’s FIP in coordination
with approval of a full CAIR SIP
implementing the requirements of CAIR.
The CAIR FIP indicates that the
Administrator will determine by order
the CAIR NOX allowance allocations. In
the CAIR FIP, EPA stated that it would
publish a NODA with NOX allowance
allocations for 2009 through 2014,
provide the public with the opportunity
to object to the allocations and
underlying data, and then publish a
final NODA (adjusted if necessary). On
August 4, 2006, EPA published a
preliminary NODA in the Federal
Register and accepted objections to the
data through an electronic docket. This
action constitutes the final NODA and
indicates the existing units receiving
CAIR NOX allowances under the FIPs
and the quantity of allowances to be
allocated to each unit. These FIP
allowances will only be recorded for
sources located in States that do not
have an approved SIP in place. Most
States have an approved SIP in place,
and the State determined allowances
will be recorded for sources in these
states.
In this NODA, the EPA is making
available to the public the Agency’s
final determination of the NOX annual
and NOX ozone season allocations
under the CAIR FIPs that EPA is making
