Pesticides; Data Requirements for Conventional Chemicals; Final rule; Notification to the Secretary of Agriculture
This document notifies the public that the Administrator of EPA has forwarded to the Secretary of Agriculture a draft final rule as required by section 25(a) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). As described in the Agency's semi-annual Regulatory Agenda, the draft final rule updates the data requirements in 40 CFR part 158 for the registration of conventional pesticide products. Besides providing the regulated community with clearer and more transparent information, the updated data requirements will enhance the development of health and environmental data to conduct scientifically sound chemical/hazard risk assessments to protect human health and the environment.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New Jersey; Low Emission Vehicle Program
The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to approve a New Jersey state implementation plan revision that adopts California's second generation low emission vehicle program for light-duty vehicles, LEV II. Clean Air Act section 177 sets forth requirements by which other states may adopt new motor vehicle emissions standards that are identical to California's standards. Specifically, the State's implementation plan revision adopts changes to its existing light duty vehicle rule by incorporating California's LEV II program. The intended effect of this action is to approve, as consistent with section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act, a control strategy that will help New Jersey achieve attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone.

6-Benzyladenine; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the biochemical pesticide, 6- benzyladenine (6-BA), in or on pear when applied/used as a plant regulator.

Pesticides; Guidance for Pesticide Registrants on Disposal Instructions on Non-Antimicrobial Residential/Household Use Pesticide Product Labels

This particular PR Notice provides guidance to the registrant concerning the updating and revision of PR Notice 2001-6 to clarify that the use of a toll free number in the disposal instructions on non- antimicrobial residential/household use pesticide product labels is optional. If registrants choose to change or remove a toll free number from the disposal instructions on their label, this notice provides guidance on making such changes.
