Sodium Fluoride Risk Assessment; Notice of Availability and Risk Reduction Options
This notice announces the availability of EPA's risk assessment, and related documents for the pesticide Sodium Fluoride and opens a public comment period on these documents. The public is encouraged to suggest risk management ideas or proposals to address the risks identified. EPA is developing a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Sodium Fluoride through a modified, 4-Phase public participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration decisions. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and safety standards.
Science Advisory Board Staff Office; Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC); Notification of a Public Teleconference of the NOX
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a public teleconference of the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) and Sulfur Oxides (SOX) Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) Review Panel (CASAC Panel) to conduct a consultation on EPA's Draft Plan for Review of the Secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide (September 2007).
Notice of Data Availability on the Disposal of Coal Combustion Wastes in Landfills and Surface Impoundments; Extension of Comment Period
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the comment period for the Notice of Data Availability (NODA) entitled ``Notice of Data Availability on the Disposal of Coal Combustion Wastes in Landfills and Surface Impoundments.'' This notice announces the availability of new information and data concerning the management of coal combustion wastes (CCW) in landfills and surface impoundments and will be used by the Agency in determining how, if at all, this additional information should affect the Agency's decisions as it continues to follow-up on its Regulatory Determination for CCW disposed of in landfills and surface impoundments. This NODA was published on August 29, 2007 (72 FR 49714), and the comment period was scheduled to end on November 27, 2007. However, a number of environmental groups have requested additional time to respond to the issues raised in the NODA and its accompanying documents. Therefore, we are extending the comment period an additional 60 days, which would extend the comment period to January 28, 2008.

Disulfoton; Order to Amend Registrations to Terminate Uses
This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellation, voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of certain products containing the pesticide disulfoton, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This termination order follows a December 15, 2004 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Request (69 FR 75061) (FRL- 7689-8) from the disulfoton registrant to voluntarily terminate the following uses of their 15% granular formulation of disulfoton (Di- Syston 15G): beans, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, cotton, peanuts, peppers, radish grown for seed, and clover grown for seed. Di- Syston 15G is not the last disulfoton product registered for use in the United States. The registrant will retain use of Di-Syston 15G on Fraser fir Christmas trees in North Carolina and coffee trees in Puerto Rico, provided it is used with a closed system applicator. The registrant will retain the registration of Di-Syston 8E, the liquid emulsifiable concentrate, which must also be used with closed system applicators. In the December 15, 2004 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the amendments to terminate the subject uses, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 180 day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrant withdrew their request within this period. The Agency received comments on the notice but none merited its further review of the requests. The registrant did not withdraw their request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested Voluntary Termination of Certain Uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the Di-Syston 15G products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
