What is EPA taking comment on and what supporting documentation do I need to include in my comments? 5. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? cprice-sewell on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS 1. What is today’s action? This notice of data availability (NODA) makes available to the public a human health effects review of R–744 (CO2) that EPA will consider as it moves forward to address its proposed ‘‘acceptable subject to use conditions’’ listing for R–744 in MVACs. In the proposed rule (71 FR 55140), EPA noted that a maximum CO2 concentration never to be exceeded (‘‘ceiling limit’’) in the space where people breathe (‘‘breathing zone’’) may be needed in addition to the proposed CO2 exposure limit of 3.0% by volume averaged over 15 minutes. A breathing zone ceiling limit may provide additional assurance regarding vehicle driver alertness. EPA subsequently hired a contractor to examine the human health effects of elevated CO2 concentrations within the confined space of a vehicle passenger compartment. Today we are making available for comment the contractorauthored memo on ceiling limits for R– 744 in the passenger compartment space of a motor vehicle. This memo reflects the latest information on short-term exposure to R–744 in an enclosed space. In 2006, EPA proposed to amend the acceptability of R–744 to include the use condition that MVAC systems must be designed to avoid occupant exposure to concentrations above the CO2 shortterm exposure limit of 3% averaged over 15 minutes. In the proposal, EPA also suggested including a ceiling limit within the 3% average limit. Based on the analysis in the contractor-author memo made available today, EPA is considering a ceiling limit of 4% R–744, or 40,000 parts per million (ppm). This ceiling limit could not be exceeded for any duration inside the passenger compartment. In addition, during the public comment period, one commenter suggested that the proposed use conditions should be clarified to address whether the same standard VerDate Nov<24>2008 13:48 Sep 16, 2009 Jkt 217001 applies or whether a requirement even applies when the motor vehicle ignition is off. 2. What information is EPA making available for review and comment? EPA is making available, for review and comment, a contractor-authored memo on the toxicological impacts of short-term exposure to CO2 in the confined space of a vehicle passenger compartment, ‘‘Review of Health Impacts from Short-Term Carbon Dioxide Inhalation Exposures,’’ as well as the papers cited in the memo. This memo provides information concerning a ceiling limit for the passenger compartment of vehicles using R–744 in MVAC systems. In addition, the public comment concerning application of the proposed use conditions when the ignition is off is available in the public docket as item EPA–HQ–OAR–2004– 0488–35.1. 47775 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide any technical information or data you used that support your views. 4. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns. 5. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. 6. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the appropriate docket identification number in the subject line on the first page of your response. It would also be helpful if you provided the name, date, and Federal Register citation related to your comments.

Where can I get the information? All of the information can be obtained through the Air Docket and at https:// www.regulations.gov (see ADDRESSES section above for docket contact information). Dated: August 14, 2009. Brian J. McLean, Director, Office of Atmospheric Programs. [FR Doc. E9–22425 Filed 9–16–09; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P 4. What is EPA taking comment on and what supporting documentation do I need to include in my comments? EPA is only accepting comment on two topics: 1. Whether EPA should include a ceiling limit of 4% R–744, or 40,000 ppm, in the final rule on the use of R– 744 in new MVAC systems, in addition to the short-term exposure limit of 3% averaged over 15 minutes, and 2. Whether the proposed use conditions on R–744 in new MVAC systems should apply when the ignition is off. Commenters may provide any published studies or supporting statements. At this time, EPA is not requesting comments of a general or editorial nature. EPA is not accepting comments more generally on the proposed listing of R–744 as acceptable with use conditions. Interested readers are directed to 71 FR 55140 for additional information regarding EPA’s proposed listing of R–744 as acceptable with use conditions in the MVAC sector. 5. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible.
