Rehearing of an order on rehearing lies when the later order modifies the result reached in the original order in a manner that gives rise to a wholly new objection.3 The November 15 Order does not modify the result of the March 31 Order. Further, the arguments Lake Association makes in its rehearing request were considered and denied in the November 15 Order. Therefore, the request for rehearing by the Lake Association is rejected. This notice constitutes final agency action. Requests for rehearing by the Commission of this rejection must be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of this notice pursuant to section 313(a) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 825l (2006), and section 385.713 of the Commission’s regulations, 18 CFR 385.713 (2012).

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: This notice, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), publishes two notices of intent to suspend issued by EPA. Each Notice of Intent to Suspend was issued following the Agency’s issuance of a Data Call-In notice (DCI), which required the registrants of the affected pesticide products containing a certain pesticide active ingredient to take appropriate steps to secure certain data, and following the registrants’ failure to submit these data or to take other appropriate steps to secure the required data. The subject data were determined to be required to maintain in effect the existing registrations of the affected products. Failure to comply with the data requirements of a DCI is a basis for suspension of the affected registrations under FIFRA. DATES: Each Notice of Intent to Suspend included in this Federal Register notice will become a final and effective suspension order automatically by operation of law 30 days after the date of the registrant’s receipt of the mailed Notice of Intent to Suspend or 30 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register (if the mailed Notice of Intent to Suspend is returned to the Administrator as undeliverable, if delivery is refused, or if the Administrator otherwise is unable to accomplish delivery to the registrant after making reasonable efforts to do so), SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM 23JAN1
