Download as PDF 40726 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 132 / Monday, July 11, 2011 / Notices Tribe of Gay Head/Aquinnah submitted a petition to EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) seeking review of the final permit (OCS Appeal No. 11– 01). On May 20, 2011, the EAB denied the petition for review of the permit. Readers interested in more detail on the appeal issues raised by the petitioners and the reasons for the EAB’s denial of review may download EAB’s Order Denying Review from the EAB Web site at https://www.epa.gov/eab. On June 2, 2011, pursuant to 40 CFR 124.19(f)(1), EPA sent a Notice of Final Permit Decision to Cape Wind, the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head/ Aquinnah, notifying them that the conditions of the permit took effect on June 2, 2011. Under 40 CFR 55.6(a)(3), when EPA issues OCS permits it must follow the procedures in 40 CFR part 124 that are used to issue PSD permits. This notice is being published pursuant to 40 CFR 124.19(f)(2), which requires notice of any final agency action regarding a PSD (or, in this case, non-PSD OCS) permit to be published in the Federal Register. This notice constitutes notice of EPA’s final agency action denying review of the final permit and, consequently, notice of EPA New England’s issuance of the final permit decision to Cape Wind. If available, judicial review of these determinations under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA may be sought only by the filing of a petition for review in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, within 60 days from the date on which this notice is published in the Federal Register. Under section 307(b)(2) of the CAA, this determination shall not be subject to later judicial review in any civil or criminal proceedings for enforcement. Dated: June 22, 2011. Ira W. Leighton, Acting Regional Administrator, EPA New England.

As a Federal Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts business in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given that the SAB will hold two public teleconferences. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate EPA and SAB Staff Office procedural policies. The MARSSIM is the official multiagency (U.S EPA, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Defense) consensus document on planning, coordinating, evaluating and documenting environmental radiological surveys prepared by those federal agencies having authority and control over radioactive materials. These four federal agencies also comprise the MARSSIM Workgroup, which developed the first MARSSIM. The current MARSSIM document describes a consistent approach for planning, performing, and assessing building surface and surface soil final status surveys to meet established dose or risk-based release criteria, while at the same time encouraging an effective use of resources. The MARSSIM document was first published in 1997, with errata and addenda pages published in 1998 and 1999. Revision 1 to MARSSIM was published in 2000, and additional errata and addenda pages were published as Attachment A in 2001. It provides guidance to federal agencies and other parties, including states, site owners, contractors and private entities on how to demonstrate that their site is in compliance with a radiation dose or risk-based regulation, otherwise known as a release criterion. The MARSSIM Workgroup is seeking SAB advice regarding proposed future revisions to the MARSSIM which is available at https://www.epa.gov/radiation/marssim/ obtain.html.

Specifically, this notice rescinds two previously issued Cancellation Orders, a February 25, 2011 Federal Register Notice and a March 23, 2011 Federal Register Notice to the extent they are applicable to methyl parathion products because the orders did not correctly reflect the terms and conditions of the registrant’s 6(f)(1) voluntary cancellation request with respect to the effective date as well as conditions governing the disposition of existing stocks for the affected methyl parathion products. This revised order correctly identifies the effective date of cancellation for the affected product registrations as well as the corrected dates associated with the disposition of existing stocks. These are the last products containing methyl parathion registered for use in the United States. The rescission and revised order only applies to methyl parathion registrations.
