State of Washington Underground
Injection Control (UIC) Program
Revision Approval
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to
approve the State of Washington
Underground Injection Control (UIC)
Program revisions as required by rule
under the Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA). The Agency determined that
the state’s revisions are consistent with
the provisions of the SDWA and are as
stringent as all applicable federal
regulations to prevent underground
injection activities that endanger
underground sources of drinking water.
The state revised its UIC Class V
Program regulations and transferred
oversight authority from the Department
of Ecology to the Energy Facility Site
Evaluation Council to issue UIC permits
at energy facilities. EPA requests public
comment on this proposed rule and
supporting documentation. In the
‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this
Federal Register, the Agency published
EPA’s approval of the state’s program
revision as a direct final rule without a
prior proposed rule. If the Agency
receives no adverse comment, EPA will
not take further action on this proposed
rule.
DATES: Written comments must be
received by May 6, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule?
EPA proposes to approve by rule the
state’s UIC Class V Program revisions
and the transfer of oversight authority
from the Department of Ecology to the
Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council
to issue UIC permits at energy facilities,
as required under the SDWA to prevent
underground injection activities that
endanger underground sources of
drinking water. Accordingly, the
Agency proposes to codify the state’s
program revisions in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR
part 147. The Agency has published a
direct final rule in the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ section of this Federal
Register, approving the state’s program
revisions, because EPA views the
revisions as noncontroversial and
anticipates no adverse comment. The
Agency provided reasons for the
approval and additional supplementary
information in the preamble to the
direct final rule. If EPA receives no
adverse comment, the Agency will not
take further action on this proposed
rule. If EPA receives adverse comment,
the Agency will withdraw the direct
final rule and it will not take effect. The
EPA would then address all public
comments in any subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. The EPA
does not intend to institute a second
comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must
do so at this time. For further
information, please contact the persons
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this document.

information prescribed in FFDCA
section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2);
however, EPA has not fully evaluated
the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support
granting of the pesticide petitions. After
considering the public comments, EPA
intends to evaluate whether and what
action may be warranted. Additional
data may be needed before EPA can
make a final determination on these
pesticide petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of each of the petitions that
are the subject of this document,
prepared by the petitioner, is included
in a docket EPA has created for each

Chemical Substances When
Manufactured or Processed as
Nanoscale Materials; TSCA Reporting
and Recordkeeping Requirements
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is proposing reporting
and recordkeeping requirements for
certain chemical substances when they
are manufactured or processed at the
nanoscale as described in this rule.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Specifically, EPA proposes to require
persons that manufacture (defined by
statute to include import) or process, or
intend to manufacture or process these
chemical substances to electronically
report to EPA certain information,
which includes the specific chemical
identity, production volume, methods of
manufacture and processing, exposure
and release information, and existing
data concerning environmental and
health effects. This proposal involves
one-time reporting for existing
nanoscale materials and one-time
reporting for new discrete nanoscale
materials before they are manufactured
or processed. This information would
facilitate EPA’s evaluation of the
materials and a determination of
whether further action, including
additional information collection, is
needed. Consistent with the President’s
memorandum for Executive Agencies
regarding Principles for Regulation and
Oversight of Emerging Technologies,
this proposed rule would facilitate
assessment of risks and risk
management, examination of the
benefits and costs of further measures,
and making future decisions based on
available scientific evidence.

346a(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the
submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the
pesticide petitions. After considering the public comments, EPA intends
to evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data
may be needed before EPA can make a final determination on these
pesticide petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available at https://www.regulations.gov.
As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained
