Registration Review; Pesticide Dockets Opened for Review and Comment
Document Number: 2013-23393
Type: Notice
Date: 2013-09-25
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
With this document, EPA is opening the public comment period for several 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 announces the Agency's intent not to open a registration review docket for dithianon (case 7048) and flufenoxuron (cast 7444). These cases do not currently have actively registered products and are not, therefore, scheduled for review under the registration review program.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
Document Number: 2013-23335
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-09-25
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by multiple reports of erratic electrical status indications on the push button annunciators and the engine instrument and crew alerting system. Certain of those reported incidents resulted in the airplane experiencing a momentary loss of electrical power and loss of flight displays. This proposed AD would require modification of the direct current power centers. We are proposing this AD to prevent loss of electrical power, which could result in the loss of flight displays and reduced controllability of the airplane.
