Abstract: RadNet is a national
network of stations collecting
environmental media that include air,
precipitation, and drinking water.
Samples are sent to EPA’s National
Analytical Radiation Environmental Lab
(NAREL) in Montgomery, Alabama,
where they are analyzed for
radioactivity. RadNet provides
emergency response/homeland security
and ambient monitoring information on
levels of environmental radiation across
the nation. All stations operators
participate in RadNet voluntarily.
Station operators complete information
forms that accompany the samples. The
forms request information pertaining to
sample type, sample location, start and
stop date and times for sampling, length
of sampling period, and volume
represented. Data from RadNet are made
available regularly on the Agency
websites—Envirofacts and the EPA
website www.epa.gov/radnet.
Form Numbers: RadNet Air
Particulate Sample (EPA Form 5900–
24); RadNet Precipitation Report Form
(EPA Form 5900–27); RadNet Drinking
Water Report Form (EPA Form 5900–
29); and RadNet Supply Request Form
(EPA Form 5900–23).
Respondents/affected entities:
Primarily State and Local Officials.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of respondents:
237.
Frequency of response: Varies
depending upon sample media type.
Responses vary from twice weekly to
quarterly.
Total estimated burden: 3721 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,510,235 (per
year), includes annualized capital costs,
operational costs, and maintenance
costs.
Changes in estimates: There is a
decrease of five hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is minimal and

The EPA will consider all timelysubmitted public comments in
determining whether and how to
finalize this policy statement.
In January
2018, the Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance issued an
Interim Guidance document to help
move the Agency toward a more
collaborative partnership between EPA
and states, with the expectation that the
guidance would be later updated. The
interim document may be viewed at
https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/
files/2018-01/documents/guidanceenhancingregionalstatecommunication
oncompliance.pdf.
The EPA is seeking comments on a
policy that would replace that Interim
Guidance and would set out
expectations and procedures for
enhancing planning and communication
on civil enforcement work between the
EPA and States that are implementing
Federal environmental programs. While
this policy is focused on the EPA’s work
with States that are approved to
implement Federal programs, the EPA
also is seeking comments on applying
these planning and communication
practices when working with federallyrecognized Indian tribes, territories, and
local governments that have received
approval to implement Federal
programs. This is an Agency planning
document and would not impose any
legally binding requirements on EPA or
any outside parties.
Submit your comments, identified by
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OECA–2019–
0204; at https://www.regulations.gov.
Once submitted, comments cannot be
edited or removed from Regulations.gov.
The EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not
submit electronically any information
you consider to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be
accompanied by a written comment.
The written comment is considered the
official comment and should include
discussion of all points you wish to
make. The EPA will generally not
consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary
submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or
other file sharing system). For
additional submission methods, the full
EPA public comment policy,
information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on
making effective comments, please visit

Product Cancellation Order for Certain
Pesticide Registrations and
Amendments To Terminate Uses
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses,
voluntarily requested by the registrants
and accepted by the Agency, of the
products listed in Table 1, Table 1A and
Table 2 of Unit II, pursuant to the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This
cancellation order follows a March 5,
2019 Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Requests from the registrants listed in
Table 3 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel
and amend to terminate uses of these
product registrations. In the March 5,
2019 notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order implementing the
cancellations and amendments to
terminate uses, unless the Agency
received substantive comments within
the 30-day comment period that would
merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests. The Agency
received two comments on the notice, to
remove their registrations from the
cancellation order notice. The
registrants for 4959–16, 4959–36 and
33753–31, requested via letter to
withdraw their registrations from this
notice. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues
in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested cancellations and
amendments to terminate uses. Any
distribution, sale, or use of the products
subject to this cancellation order is
permitted only in accordance with the
terms of this order, including any
existing stocks provisions.
DATES: The cancellations and
amendments are effective May 13, 2019.
