Proposed Modification of a General 

NPDES Permit for Small Suction 

Dredging—Permit Number IDG–37– 

0000 

AGENCY: Region 10, Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed modification of a 

general permit. 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to modify a 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) General 

Permit for placer mining operations in 

Idaho using small suction dredges 

(intake nozzle size of 5 inches in 

diameter or less and with equipment 

rated at 15 horsepower or less). When 

the 2013 GP was issued, the language of 

the GP contained a discrepancy with the 

total maximum daily load (TMDL) that 

was issued for Mores Creek. The GP did 

not include any reference to the 

tributaries of Mores, Elk or Grimes 

creeks that were included in the loading 

allocations of the TMDL. This 

modification proposes to rectify that 

discrepancy by including a reference to 

the tributaries within the GP 

requirements for Mores, Grimes and Elk 

creeks and listing the tributaries in 

Appendix F to the GP. Other parts of the 

GP are not open for public comment at 

this time. 

DATES: Interested persons may submit 

comments on the proposed modification 

of the general permit to EPA, Region 10 

at the address below. Comments must 

be postmarked by February 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

modified General Permit should be sent 

to Director, Office of Water and 

Watersheds; USEPA Region 10; 1200 

Sixth Avenue Suite 900, OWW–130; 

Seattle, Washington 98101. Comments 

may also be submitted by fax to (206) 

553–0165 or electronically to 

godsey.cindi@epa.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the proposed modified general 

permit and Statement of Basis are 

available upon request. Requests may be 

made to Audrey Washington at (206) 

553–0523 or to Cindi Godsey at (907) 

271–6561. Requests may also be 

electronically mailed to: 

washington.audrey@epa.gov or 

godsey.cindi@epa.gov. These documents 

may also be found on the EPA Region 

10 Web site at http://yosemite.epa.gov/ 

R10/water.nsf/NPDES+Permits/

Permits+Homepage then click on ‘‘Draft 

Permits’’ then ‘‘Draft Permits for Idaho 

Dischargers.’’ 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Order 12866: The Office of 

Management and Budget has exempted 

this action from the review 

requirements of Executive Order 12866 

pursuant to Section 6 of that order. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act: Under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq., a Federal agency 

must prepare an initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis ‘‘for any proposed 

rule’’ for which the agency ‘‘is required 

by section 553 of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), or any other law, 

to publish general notice of proposed 

rulemaking.’’ The RFA exempts from 

this requirement any rule that the 

issuing agency certifies ‘‘will not, if 

promulgated, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities.’’ EPA has 

concluded that NPDES general permits 

are permits, not rulemakings, under the 

APA and thus not subject to APA 

rulemaking requirements or the RFA. 

Notwithstanding that general permits 

are not subject to the RFA, EPA has 

determined that this GP, as issued, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities.

Agency (EPA). 


emcdonald on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2013 / Notices 77123 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: With this document, EPA is 

opening the public comment period for 

several registration reviews. Registration 

review is EPA’s periodic review of 

pesticide registrations to ensure that 

each pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

Agency may consider during the course 

of registration reviews. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. This document 

also announces the Agency’s intent not 

to open registration review dockets for 

Pseudozyma flocculosa (case # 6049), 

Pseudomonas chlororaphis (case # 

6011), and PXTS (case # 5108). These 

pesticides do not currently have any 

registered pesticide products and are 

not, therefore, scheduled for review 

under the registration review program. 

This document also announces the 

registration review case closure for the 

pesticide tralkoxydim (case # 7237), and 

the availability of the tralkoxydim 

registration review case closure 

document. The cancellation of the last 

remaining tralkoxydim registrations 

became effective October 30, 2013. The 

case closure for tralkoxydim is being 

announced herein with no comment 

period. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before February 18, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments 

identified by the docket identification 

(ID) number for the specific pesticide of 

interest provided in the table in Unit 

III.A., by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general, and may be of interest to a 

wide range of stakeholders including 

environmental, human health, 

farmworker, and agricultural advocates; 

the chemical industry; pesticide users; 

and members of the public interested in 

the sale, distribution, or use of 

pesticides. Since others also may be 

interested, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

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. 

II. Authority 

EPA is initiating its reviews of the 

pesticides identified in this document 

pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural 

Regulations for Registration Review at 

40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) 

of FIFRA provides, among other things, 

that the registrations of pesticides are to 

be reviewed every 15 years. Under 

FIFRA, a pesticide product may be 

registered or remain registered only if it 

meets the statutory standard for 

registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5). When used in accordance with 

widespread and commonly recognized 

practice, the pesticide product must 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on the 

environment; that is, without any 

unreasonable risk to man or the 

environment, or a human dietary risk 

from residues that result from the use of 

a pesticide in or on food.

III. Registration Reviews 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), 

EPA is reviewing the pesticide 

registrations identified in the table in 

this unit to assure that they continue to 

satisfy the FIFRA standard for 

registration—that is, they can still be 

used without unreasonable adverse 

effects on human health or the 

environment. A pesticide’s registration 

review begins when the Agency 

establishes a docket for the pesticide’s 

registration review case and opens the 

docket for public review and comment. 

At present, EPA is opening registration 

review dockets for the cases identified 

in the following table.

EPA is also announcing that it will 

not be opening dockets for Pseudozyma 

flocculosa, Pseudomonas chlororaphis, 

and PXTS because these pesticide active 

ingredients are not included in any 

products registered under FIFRA. For 

tralkoxydim, a Notice of Receipt of a 

Request to Voluntarily Cancel Certain 

Pesticide Registrations was issued on 

August 21, 2013 for a 30 day comment 

period (78 FR 51721) (FRL–9396–5). 

This notice announced voluntary 

cancellation requests that would 

terminate the last tralkoxydim products 

registered for use in the United States; 

the Agency did not receive any 

comments. On October 30, 2013, the 

Agency published the Cancellation 

Order for these tralkoxydim product 

registrations in the Federal Register (78 

FR 64938) (FRL–9403–2). Due to the 

publication of this Cancellation Order, 

the Agency closed the registration 

review case for tralkoxydim, pursuant to 

40 CFR 155.42(c). The case closure 

document for tralkoxydim’s registration 

review, along with other documents 

relevant to the registration review of 

tralkoxydim, is available in the 

tralkoxydim registration review docket 

(EPA–HQ–OPP–2011–0706). 

B. Docket Content 

1. Review dockets. The registration 

review dockets contain information that 

the Agency may consider in the course 

of the registration review. The Agency 

may include information from its files 

including, but not limited to, the 

following information: 

• An overview of the registration 

review case status. 

• A list of current product 

registrations and registrants. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

any pending registration actions. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

current or pending tolerances. 

• Risk assessments. 

• Bibliographies of data or 

information used in support of current 

registrations. 

• Summaries of incident data. 

• Any other pertinent data or 

information. 

Each docket contains a document 

summarizing what the Agency currently 

knows about the pesticide case and a 

preliminary work plan for anticipated 

data and assessment needs. Additional 

documents provide more detailed 

information. During this public 

comment period, the Agency is asking 

that interested persons identify any 

additional information they believe the 

Agency should consider during the 

registration reviews of these pesticides. 

The Agency identifies in each docket 

the areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

2. Other related information. More 

information on these cases, including 

the active ingredients for each case, may 

be located in the registration review 

schedule on the Agency’s Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/

registration_review/schedule.htm. 

Information on the Agency’s registration 

review program and its implementing 

regulation may be seen at http://

www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_

review. 

3. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during a 

pesticide’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must 

meet the following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted beyond the comment period. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency 

to reconsider data or information that 

the Agency rejected in a previous 

review. However, submitters must 

explain why they believe the Agency 

should reconsider the data or 

information in the pesticide’s 

registration review. 

As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for each 

pesticide case will remain publicly 

accessible through the duration of the 


emcdonald on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
