Environmental Protection Agency September 13, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

As provided under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), State-designated lead agencies may register pesticides, within their respective States, to meet special local needs. EPA's regulations require the State lead agencies to notify EPA of such special local need registrations. EPA may disapprove any such State registration. EPA's regulations require that notice of disapproval actions be published in the Federal Register; as such this notice identifies special local need registrations which were disapproved by EPA on March 15, 2021, April 9, 2021, and April 23, 2021.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a notice of final determination published on May 11, 2021. EPA determined that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels were reasonably available to support the State's prohibition of vessel sewage discharges in thirteen waterbodies in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, but has since identified errors in the geographic coordinates that correspond to the boundaries of the no-discharge zones as described in the earlier notice. This notice simply corrects those geographic coordinate errors; it does not otherwise change EPA's May 11, 2021 final determination.
