inconsistencies in the values used to
derive the flow and load duration
curves, resulting in the calculation of
TMDLs which do not accurately reflect

Any future withdrawal action will not

Hearing and Comments.
ACTION:
Notice is hereby given in
accordance with the provision of section
1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as
amended, and the requirements
governing the National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation, 40 CFR Part 142, that
the Commonwealth of Virginia is
revising its approved Public Water
System Supervision Program. The
Commonwealth has adopted the
drinking water regulation for the
Ground Water Rule (GWR) which will
provide for better public health
protection by reducing public water
system consumers’ risk of microbial
illness from drinking water. EPA has
determined that the Commonwealth
rule meets all minimum federal
requirements, and that the
Commonwealth revision is no less
stringent than the corresponding federal
regulation. Therefore, EPA is taking
action to tentatively approve these
program revisions. All interested parties
are invited to submit written comments
on this determination and may request
a public hearing.
DATES: Comments or a request for a
public hearing must be submitted by
April 27, 2012. This determination shall
become final and effective on April 27,

Registration Review; Pesticide
Dockets Opened for Review and
Comment and Other Docket Act
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
EPA has established
registration review dockets for the
pesticides listed in the table in Unit
III.A. With this document, EPA is
opening the public comment period for
these registration reviews. Registration
review is EPA’s periodic review of
pesticide registrations to ensure that
each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that
is, the pesticide can perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on human health or the
environment. Registration review
dockets contain information that will
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
Agency may consider during the course
of registration reviews. Through this
program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide’s registration is based on
current scientific and other knowledge,

including its effects on human health
and the environment. This document
also announces the Agency’s intent not
to open a registration review docket for
dicofol, molinate, or bromonitrostyrene.
Bromonitrostyrene and molinate do not
currently have any actively registered
pesticide products and are not,
therefore, scheduled for review under
the registration review program. Dicofol
is undergoing a phase-out of all U.S.
pesticide registrations. The
cancellations of the end use
registrations are effective October 31,
2013. Therefore, dicofol is not
scheduled for review under the
registration review program. EPA is also
announcing the availability of an
amended final work plan for the
registration review of the pesticide
tribenuron methyl; this work plan has
been amended to incorporate revisions
to the data requirements.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before May 29, 2012.
