U.S. Forest Service within the Chugach 

National Forest. The sole purpose of a 

preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant 

the permit holder priority to file a 

license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission. 

The proposed project would consist 

of: (1) Either (a) a 2-foot-high by 120- 

foot-long, concrete gravity dam at Grant 

Lake, or (b) a natural lake outlet, with 

a 48-inch-diameter pipe extending back 

into Grant lake, a gate house, regulating 

gate, controls, and monitoring 

equipment; (2) Grant Lake, the project 

reservoir, with a total storage capacity of 

15,900 acre-feet and a water surface area 

of 1,790 acres at full pool elevation of 

700 feet above mean seal level; (3) a 

3,200-foot-long, 10-foot-diameter 

horseshoe tunnel; (4) a 72-inchdiameter, 360-foot-long, welded steel 

penstock; (5) a 200-foot-long open 

channel tailrace; (6) a 45-foot by 60-foot 

by 30-foot-high powerhouse containing 

two horizontal Francis type turbine 

units totaling 5 megawatts (MW) (1 x 4 

MW unit and 1 x 1 MW unit) of 

generating capacity; and (7) a 

transmission line consisting of either a 

3.5-mile-long, 24.9 kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line, or a 1-mile-long, 115 

kV transmission line, connecting the 

powerhouse to the City of Seward’s or 

to Chugach Electric’s transmission line. 

The total energy output would be 19,700 

megawatthours.

code 32532). 

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 4 / Friday, January 6, 2012 / Notices 793 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

Under section 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the 

discretion of the Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the Administrator determines that 

emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. Michigan 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the Administrator to issue a specific 

exemption for the use of kasugamycin 

on apples to control fire blight. 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that kasugamycin is needed to 

control streptomycin-resistant strains of 

Erwinia amylovora, the causal pathogen 

of fire blight, due to the lack of available 

alternatives and effective control 

practices. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than three applications of 

Kasumin 2L on not more than 10,000 

acres of apples between April 1 and 

May 31, 2012 in Berrien, Cass, Grand 

Traverse, Ionia, Kent, Montcalm, 

Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, and Van 

Buren counties. As currently proposed, 

the maximum amount of the product to 

be applied would be 30,000 gallons. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing section 

18 of FIFRA require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing use of a 

new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) 

which has not been registered by EPA. 

The notice provides an opportunity 

for public comment on the application. 

The Agency, will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific exemption 

requested by the Michigan Department 

of Agriculture.
