Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio New Source Review Rules
EPA is proposing to conditionally approve revisions to the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) and nonattainment new source review (NSR) construction permit programs submitted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA). EPA fully approved Ohio's nonattainment NSR program on January 10, 2003. EPA fully approved Ohio's PSD program on January 22, 2003, which became effective on March 10, 2003. On December 31, 2002, EPA published revisions to the Federal PSD and NSR regulations. These revisions are commonly referred to as ``NSR Reform'' regulations and became effective on March 3, 2003. These regulatory revisions include provisions for baseline emissions determinations, actual-to-future actual methodology, plantwide applicability limits (PALs), clean units, and pollution control projects (PCPs). The OEPA is seeking approval of rules to implement these NSR Reform provisions in Ohio.
Dimethenamid; Pesticide Tolerance
This regulation establishes a tolerance for residues of dimethenamid in or on horseradish. The Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4) requested this tolerance under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). In addition, this regulatory action is part of the tolerance reassessment requirements of section 408(q) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), as amended by the FQPA of 1996. By law, EPA is required to reassess all tolerances in existence on August 2, 1996 by August 2006. This regulatory action will count towards this August 2006 deadline. This regulation establishes a maximum permissible level for residues of dimethenamid in this food commodity. EPA has previously published all relevant scientific conclusions and analysis related to this tolerance action. Due to an inadvertent oversight, a final rule published in the Federal Register on September 24, 2004, which outlined EPA action to establish several tolerances for residues of dimethenamid on various commodities, including horseradish, did not contain necessary information in a table to actually add the tolerance for dimethenamid residues on horseradish into 40 CFR 180.464. This action corrects that error.
Thidiazuron Risk Assessments; Notice of Availability
This notice announces the availability of EPA's risk assessments and related documents for the pesticide thidiazuron, and opens a public comment period on these documents. The public also is encouraged to suggest risk management ideas or proposals to address the risks identified. EPA is developing a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for thidiazuron 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.
Endothall Risk Assessments and Preliminary Risk Reduction Options; Notice of Availability
This notice announces the availability of EPA's risk assessments and related documents for the dicarboxylic acid herbicide endothall, and opens a public comment period on these documents. The public also is encouraged to suggest risk management ideas or proposals to address the risks identified. EPA is developing a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for endothall 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.
