AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The State of Alaska has
submitted a request for approval of an
Alaska version of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
program, pursuant to section 402 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA or ‘‘the Act’’).
With this request, the Alaska
Department of Environmental
Conservation (ADEC) seeks approval to
administer a program regulating
discharges of pollutants into waters of
the United States under its jurisdiction.
The State’s request includes an
implementation plan that transfers the
administration of specific program
components from EPA to the State over
a three year period from the date of
program approval. If EPA approves the
Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (APDES) program application,
the State will administer this program,
subject to continuing EPA oversight and
enforcement authority, in place of the
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) program
now administered by EPA in Alaska.
Today, EPA is requesting comments on
the State’s request and is providing
notice of public hearings and comment
period on that proposal. EPA will either
approve or disapprove the State’s
request after considering all comments
it receives.
DATES: Comments. The public comment
period on the State’s request for
approval to administer the proposed
APDES program will be from the date of
publication until August 18, 2008.

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from May 12, 2008 through May 30, 2008, consists of the PMNs
pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a
new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.
DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before July 18, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2008-0492, by one of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the on-line instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Document Control Office (7407M), Office of
Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001.
Hand Delivery: OPPT Document Control Office (DCO), EPA
East Bldg., Rm. 6428, 1201 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC.
Attention: Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2008-0492. The DCO is open from

in the docket without change and may be made available on-line at
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit the EPA Docket Center
homepage at https://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
