Chlorfenapyr; Pesticide Tolerance
This regulation establishes a tolerance for residues of 4- bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(ethoxymethyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl) -1H- pyrrole-3-carbonitrile in or on all foods except fruiting vegetables.

TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Revisions
EPA is proposing amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(a) Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) regulations. The IUR currently requires certain manufacturers (including importers) of certain chemical substances on the TSCA Chemical Substances Inventory to report data on chemical manufacturing, processing, and use every 4 years. EPA is proposing to extend the reporting cycle, modify the timing of the submission period, further clarify the new partial exemption for specific chemicals of low current interest, amend the petroleum refinery process streams partial exemption, amend the list of consumer and commercial product categories, revise the manner in which production volume would be reported, restrict reporting of processing and use information to domestic processing and use activities only, edit the polymer exemption definition, and remove the requirement to determine confidentiality of production volume in ranges.

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit a continuing Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This is a request to renew an existing approved collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2005.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans South Carolina: Definitions and General Requirements
The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on November 14, 2003, for the purpose of clarifying current regulations and ensuring consistency between State and Federal regulations. The proposed revisions consist of those published in the South Carolina State Register on August 28, 1998 and June 25, 1999, revising Regulation 61-62.1 Definitions and General Requirements. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.
Adequacy Determination for the St. Louis Area Ozone Maintenance State Implementation Plan for Transportation Conformity Purposes; State of Missouri
In this notice, EPA is informing the public that we have found the motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEB) for volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides in the Missouri portion of the St. Louis area adequate for conformity purposes. The State of Missouri established MVEBs for 2007. The emission estimates for 2007 were included in the 1-hour ozone maintenance plan based on projected emission inventories for that year. This Notice formalizes the 2007 emissions estimates as budgets for future conformity determinations, including the conformity determination that is required by June 15, 2005, under the 8-hour ozone standard.
Notice of Receipt of Request for an Amendment to Delete Certain Uses in a Pesticide Registration
In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of request for amendments by a registrant to delete certain uses in a pesticide registration. Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be amended to delete one or more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any request in the Federal Register.
Fluazifop-P-butyl; Risk Assessment(s) (Phase 3 of 4-Phase Process); Notice of Availability
This notice announces the availability of EPA's risk assessment(s) and related technical support documents for the pesticide fluazifop-P-butyl and opens a public comment period on these documents. Fluazifop-P-butyl is a selective, post-emergent herbicide registered for the control of annual and perennial grass weeds. EPA is developing a tolerance reassessment decision (TRED) for fluazifop-P-butyl through a modified, 4-Phase public participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and safety standards.
