Environmental Protection Agency June 3, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This regulation establishes tolerances for combined residues of triflumizole and its metabolites containing the 4-chloro-2- trifluoromethylaniline (FA-1-1) moiety, calculated as the parent compound, in or on leafy greens subgroup 4A, except spinach; Brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A; Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B; cilantro leaves; Swiss chard; pineapple; papaya; black sapote; canistel; mamey sapote; mango; sapodilla; star apple; hops, dried cones; and turnip greens. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR- 4) requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). This regulation also deletes the following time- limited tolerances, as permanent tolerances supersede them: Collards, kale and mustard greens, as residues on these commodities will be covered by the Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B tolerance; broccoli, since residues will be covered by the Brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A tolerance; dandelion leaves and parsley leaves, since residues will be covered by the leafy greens subgroup 4A tolerance; Swiss chard and turnip greens, as the time-limited tolerances will be superseded by permanent tolerances; and coriander leaves, as the cilantro leaves tolerance supersedes it and is the preferred commodity definition.

EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern the permitting of air pollution sources. We are proposing to approve SDAPCD Rule 27.1 Federal Requirements for the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District's Alternative Mobile Source Emission Reduction Program Approved on September 8, 2000, which is a local rule that regulates air pollution sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

This document makes minor technical revisions of certain commodity terms listed under 40 CFR part 180, subpart D. EPA is taking this action to establish a uniform listing of commodity terms throughout part 180.

This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellation, voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of products containing the pesticide nicotine, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows an October 29, 2008 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Request from the nicotine registrant to voluntarily cancel its sole remaining nicotine product registration. This product registration is the last nicotine pesticide product registered for use in the United States. In the October 29, 2008 Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellation, 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 its request within this period. The Agency did not receive any comments on the notice. Further, the registrant did not withdraw its request. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellation. Any distribution, sale, or use of the nicotine product subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
