We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: * * * * * The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 airplanes have had a history of flap failures at various positions for several years. Flap failure may result in a significant increase in required landing distances and higher fuel consumption than planned during a diversion. * * *

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the effective date of January 5, 2011, for the final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of January 5, 2009. The final rule amends the regulations for cochineal extract and carmine by requiring their declaration by name on the label of all food and cosmetic products that contain these color additives. This final rule responds to reports of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, to cochineal extract- containing food and carmine-containing food and cosmetics and will allow consumers who are allergic to these color additives to identify and thus avoid products that contain these color additives. This action also responds to a citizen petition submitted by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-Propenoic acid, polymer with [alpha]- [4-(ethenyloxy) butyl]-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), sodium salt; (CAS Reg. No. 250591-84-5); when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation. BASF Corporation submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of 2-Propenoic acid, polymer with [alpha]-[4-(ethenyloxy) butyl]-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), sodium salt on food or feed commodities.

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.960 for residues of 2-Propenoic acid, polymer with [alpha]-[4-(ethenyloxy) butyl]-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxy- 1,2-ethanediyl) and 2,5-furandione, sodium salt; (CAS Reg. No. 251479- 97-7); when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation. BASF Corporation, submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.

This notice announces that the Bureau of Indian Education is seeking comments on the renewal of the Information Collection Request for the Tribal Colleges and Universities Application for Grants, OMB No. 1076-0018, and the Annual Report Form, OMB No. 1076-0105, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

This document announces the auction of 122 FM broadcast construction permits scheduled to commence on September 1, 2009 (Auction 79). This document also seeks comments on competitive bidding procedures for Auction 79.

This notice announces the availability of EPA's Revised Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide para- dichlorobenzene. The Agency's risk assessments and other related documents also are available in the Para-dichlorobenzene Docket. Para- dichlorobenzene is an insecticide; the majority of its pesticidal use is as a moth repellant to protect garments from insect damage and in and around bird cages for the control of lice and ticks. EPA has reviewed para-dichlorobenzene through the public participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and safety standards. A 60-day public comment period was conducted with the publication of the para-dichlorobenzene RED in December 2007. The comments received primarily concerned the episodic ingestion risk estimates. The Agency, in response, revisited the acute oral endpoint selection and agreed that there were no effects attributable to a single dose, and revised the human health risk assessment and the RED accordingly.
