State of Washington Underground 

Injection Control (UIC) Program 

Revision Approval 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to 

approve the State of Washington 

Underground Injection Control (UIC) 

Program revisions as required by rule 

under the Safe Drinking Water Act 

(SDWA). The Agency determined that 

the state’s revisions are consistent with 

the provisions of the SDWA and are as 

stringent as all applicable federal 

regulations to prevent underground 

injection activities that endanger 

underground sources of drinking water. 

The state revised its UIC Class V 

Program regulations and transferred 

oversight authority from the Department 

of Ecology to the Energy Facility Site 

Evaluation Council to issue UIC permits 

at energy facilities. EPA requests public 

comment on this proposed rule and 

supporting documentation. In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this 

Federal Register, the Agency published 

EPA’s approval of the state’s program 

revision as a direct final rule without a 

prior proposed rule. If the Agency 

receives no adverse comment, EPA will 

not take further action on this proposed 

rule. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received by May 6, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule? 

EPA proposes to approve by rule the 

state’s UIC Class V Program revisions 

and the transfer of oversight authority 

from the Department of Ecology to the 

Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council 

to issue UIC permits at energy facilities, 

as required under the SDWA to prevent 

underground injection activities that 

endanger underground sources of 

drinking water. Accordingly, the 

Agency proposes to codify the state’s 

program revisions in the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 

part 147. The Agency has published a 

direct final rule in the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, approving the state’s program 

revisions, because EPA views the 

revisions as noncontroversial and 

anticipates no adverse comment. The 

Agency provided reasons for the 

approval and additional supplementary 

information in the preamble to the 

direct final rule. If EPA receives no 

adverse comment, the Agency will not 

take further action on this proposed 

rule. If EPA receives adverse comment, 

the Agency will withdraw the direct 

final rule and it will not take effect. The 

EPA would then address all public 

comments in any subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. The EPA 

does not intend to institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. For further 

information, please contact the persons 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this document.

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.

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 pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); 

however, EPA has not fully evaluated 

the sufficiency of the submitted data at 

this time or whether the data support 

granting of the pesticide petitions. After 

considering the public comments, EPA 

intends to evaluate whether and what 

action may be warranted. Additional 

data may be needed before EPA can 

make a final determination on these 

pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this document, 

prepared by the petitioner, is included 

in a docket EPA has created for each 

rulemaking. The docket for each of the 

petitions is available at http://

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit.

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.1263 for residues of 

tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA), 

(CAS Reg. No. 97–99–4), when used as 

a pesticide inert ingredient (solvent/cosolvent), to include allowance of one 

herbicide application prior to the 

preboot stage to wheat, buckwheat, 

barley, oats, rye, sorghum, triticale, rice 

and wild rice; extended use on canola 

to the early bolting stage; extended use 

on soybeans up to the bloom growth 

stage; and allowance of use in 

herbicides with two applications to field 

corn and pop corn up to 36 inches tall 

(V8 stage). The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not required for the amendment of an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. Contact: RD.

Chemical Substances When 

Manufactured or Processed as 

Nanoscale Materials; TSCA Reporting 

and Recordkeeping Requirements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements for 

certain chemical substances when they 

are manufactured or processed at the 

nanoscale as described in this rule. 

Specifically, EPA proposes to require 

persons that manufacture (defined by 

statute to include import) or process, or 

intend to manufacture or process these 

chemical substances to electronically 

report to EPA certain information, 

which includes the specific chemical 

identity, production volume, methods of 

manufacture and processing, exposure 

and release information, and existing 

data concerning environmental and 

health effects. This proposal involves 

one-time reporting for existing 

nanoscale materials and one-time 

reporting for new discrete nanoscale 

materials before they are manufactured 

or processed. This information would 

facilitate EPA’s evaluation of the 

materials and a determination of 

whether further action, including 

additional information collection, is 

needed. Consistent with the President’s 

memorandum for Executive Agencies 

regarding Principles for Regulation and 

Oversight of Emerging Technologies, 

this proposed rule would facilitate 

assessment of risks and risk 

management, examination of the 

benefits and costs of further measures, 

and making future decisions based on 

available scientific evidence.
