April 28, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document supplements the Coast Guard's September 2009 proposal to amend Anchorage Ground No. 19 located east of the Edgewater-Weehawken Federal Channel on the Hudson River. The revised proposal is necessary to facilitate safe navigation and provide safe and secure anchorages for vessels operating in the area. This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking amends the NPRM that incorrectly stated that the current Edgewater-Weehawken Federal Channel would be relocated as part of the proposal to amend Anchorage Ground No. 19. This SNPRM also cancels two proposed changes to the Anchorage Regulation discussed in the NPRM and provides an additional opportunity for comment on the proposed changes to the regulations for Anchorage 19.

We, the NMFS, issue a final determination to list the Puget Sound/Georgia Basin Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) of yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) and canary rockfish (Sebastes pinniger) as threatened, and bocaccio rockfish (Sebastes paucispinis) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We intend to propose protective regulations for yelloweye and canary rockfish under ESA section 4(d) and critical habitat for all three species in separate rulemakings, and will solicit public comments for these rulemakings separately.

The Coast Guard proposes the establishment of a safety zone surrounding the north jetty, named the Barview Jetty near Tillamook Bay, Oregon. The safety zone is necessary to help ensure the safety of work crews and the maritime public while the jetty is being repaired and will do so by prohibiting all persons and vessels from entering or remaining within 250 feet of the jetty unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port or his designated representative.

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of phosphate ester, tallowamine, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 68308-48-5), herein referred to in this document as PETAE when used as an inert ingredient at a maximum of 20% by weight in pesticide formulations applied in or on growing crops. Huntsman Corporation submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of PETAE.

In the Order on Reconsideration, the Commission modifies the automatic roaming obligation that the Commission adopted for voice and related services in 2007 by eliminating the home roaming exclusion.

This document contains a technical correction to the final rule regarding the test procedures for general service fluorescent lamps, incandescent reflector lamps, and general service incandescent lamps, which was published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2009. In that final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) adopted amendments to its test procedure regulations for the above-specified lamps. However, due to a drafting error, part of the original wording was inadvertently removed from the DOE test procedure regulations in the

The Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District, has issued a temporary deviation from the regulation governing the operation of the Rock Island Railroad and Highway Drawbridge across the Upper Mississippi River, Mile 482.9, Rock Island, Illinois. The deviation is necessary to allow the Quad Cities Marathon to cross the bridge. This deviation allows the bridge to be maintained in the closed to navigation position for four hours from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on September 26, 2010.

The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone for annual fireworks events in the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan, during four separate periods between 9:15 p.m. on June 12, 2010 and 10:30 p.m. on June 24, 2010. This action is necessary and intended to ensure safety of life on the navigable waters of the United States immediately prior to, during, and immediately after fireworks events. This action will establish restrictions upon, and control movement of, vessels in a specified area immediately prior to, during, and immediately after fireworks events. During the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter the safety zones without permission of the Captain of the Port, Sector Lake Michigan.

We are amending the fruits and vegetables regulations to allow, under certain conditions, the importation of commercial shipments of fresh papayas from Colombia and Ecuador into the continental United States. The conditions for the importation of papayas from Colombia and Ecuador include requirements for field sanitation, hot water treatment, and fruit fly trapping in papaya production areas. This action allows for the importation of papayas from Colombia and Ecuador while continuing to provide protection against the introduction of injurious plant pests into the continental United States.

This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of the fungicide difenoconazole in or on: Almond, hulls; brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A; brassica, leafy green, subgroup 5B; citrus, dried pulp; citrus, oil; fruit, citrus, group 10; grape; grape, raisin; nut, tree, group 14; onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A; onion, green, subgroup 3- 07B; pistachio; and vegetable, cucurbit, group 9. EPA is also revising the difenoconazole crop and animal tolerance expressions; deleting all section 18 difenoconazole tolerances that are no longer needed as a result of this action; reinstating tolerances for wheat forage, wheat grain, and wheat straw, which were inadvertently removed when previous tolerances were established; correcting the existing tolerance for beet, sugar; and deleting the grape import superscript. Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. requested the new tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).

NHTSA seeks comments on the economic impact of its regulations on small entities. As required by section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, we are attempting to identify rules that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. We also request comments on ways to make these regulations easier to read and understand. The focus of this notice is rules that specifically relate to passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, trailers, incomplete vehicles, motorcycles, and motor vehicle equipment.

EPA is issuing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to describe information currently available and information being collected that will be used by the Administrator to issue a subsequent proposal regarding whether, in the Administrator's judgment, aircraft lead emissions from aircraft using leaded aviation gasoline (avgas) cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. In this ANPR we describe and request comment on the data available for evaluating lead emissions, ambient concentrations and potential exposure to lead from the continued use of leaded avgas in piston-engine powered aircraft. We also describe and request comment on additional information being collected that will inform any future action.

This establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

EPA is proposing to add the gold mine ore processing and production area source category to the list of source categories subject to regulation under the hazardous air pollutant section of the Clean Air Act (CAA) due to their mercury emissions. EPA is also proposing national mercury emission standards for this category based on the emissions level of the best performing facilities which are well controlled for mercury. EPA is soliciting comments on all aspects of this proposed rule.

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS or the Corporation) is removing its regulation implementing the Government-wide common rule on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance, currently located within part 2545 of title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and issuing a new regulation to adopt the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance at 2 CFR part 182. This regulatory action implements the OMB's initiative to streamline and consolidate into one title of the CFR all federal regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. These changes constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in the Corporation's policy or procedures for drug-free workplace.

Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA'') requires the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission,'' ``CPSC'') to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. These standards are to be ``substantially the same as'' applicable voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. The Commission is proposing a safety standard for toddler beds in response to the direction under section 104(b) of the CPSIA. The proposed safety
