Description of Request: Wisconsin River Power Company (licensee) proposes to modify the requirements of Article 401 of the project license, and revise the approved Operations Compliance Monitoring Plan (OCMP) consistent with the proposed modifications to Article 401. In the pertinent part, Article 401 requires the licensee to limit any reduction in discharge from the Castle Rock Development to a down-ramping rate not to exceed 1-inch per hour as measured 0.7 miles downstream of Castle Rock dam. Under the licensee’s proposal, the down-ramping rate would increase to 3.5-inches per hour as measured 0.7 miles downstream of Castle Rock dam. The proposed downramping requirement would only apply to reductions in flow from the Castle Rock powerhouse and only when inflows to the Petenwell impoundment are greater than 3,500 cubic feet per second. The licensee proposes revisions to the OCMP, which would provide further details on the down-ramping, minimum flow, and reservoir elevation requirements of the license. l.

As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed comprehensive draft human health and/or ecological risk assessments for the pesticides listed in table 1 in unit IV. After reviewing comments received during the public comment period, EPA may issue a revised risk assessment, explain any changes to the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments and may request public input on risk mitigation before completing a proposed registration review decision for the pesticides listed in table 1 in unit IV. 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. III. Authority EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed in table 1 in unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)).
