Northern States does not propose to add any new project facilities. However, Northern States proposes to revise the project boundary around the impoundment to follow a contour elevation of 711.6 NGVD 29, which would result in a reduction in the total acreage of the project boundary upstream of the dam from 76.5 to 39.9 acres. Additionally, Northern States proposes the following changes to the project boundary: (1) remove approximately 38.8 acres of land north of the project’s access road and approximately 12 acres of land northeast of the powerhouse; (2) add approximately 0.3 acre of land associated with the substation that includes the project’s transformer; (3) add approximately 0.6 acre of land associated with the project’s access road; (4) add approximately 1.3 acres of water in the White River downstream of the project; and (5) add approximately 0.3 acre of land east of the south earthen embankment. Northern States proposes to: (1) continue operating the project in a runof-river mode and maintaining the surface elevation of the impoundment between 710.4 and 711.6 feet NGVD 29; (2) continue releasing a minimum flow of 16 cfs or inflow, whichever is less, to the bypassed reach at all times; (3) develop an operation compliance monitoring plan; (4) conduct shoreline erosion surveys every ten years; (5) develop an invasive species monitoring plan; (6) pass woody debris from the impoundment to the bypassed reach; (7) replace recreational signage; (8) maintain project recreation facilities; (9) protect bats by restricting building and tree maintenance; (10) protect wood turtles by restricting herbicide use; (11) avoid vegetation management and construction activities within 660 feet of bald eagle nests during the nesting season; and (12) develop a historic properties management plan to protect historic properties. m.

II. Background

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed 
in the Table 1 of Unit I pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 3(g) (7 U.S.C. 136a(g)) 
and the Procedural Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 
155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among other things, that 
pesticide registrations are to be reviewed every 15 years. Consistent 
with 40 CFR 155.57, in its final registration review decision, EPA will 
ultimately determine whether a pesticide continues to meet the 
registration standard in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). 
As part of the registration review process, the Agency has completed a 
proposed interim or proposed decision for each of the pesticides listed 
in Table 1 of Unit I.
    The registration review docket for a pesticide includes documents 
related to the registration review case. Among other things, these 
documents describe EPA's rationales for conducting additional risk 
assessments for the registration review of the pesticides included in 
Table 1 of Unit I, as well as the Agency's subsequent risk findings and 
consideration of possible risk mitigation measures. The proposed 
interim and proposed registration review decisions are supported by the 
rationales included in those documents.
    Consistent with 40 CFR 155.58(a), EPA provides for at least a 60-
day public comment period on proposed interim and proposed registration 
review decisions. This comment period is intended to provide an 
opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any 
necessary amendments to the proposed decision.
    For additional background on the registration review program, see:

distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be 
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific 
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions 
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, 
consult the Chemical Review Manager for the pesticide of interest 
identified in Table 1 of Unit I. In submitting a comment to EPA, please 
consider the following:
    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
