Toxrac: Martin Bernstein

EPA: Nader Elkassabany, Donna Randall, Najm Shamim, Zoe Layton, Jim Breithaupt, Mark Hartman, Lance Wormell, Rebecca von dem Hagen *participated via conference call

Summary On Wednesday, January 18, 2012 the Antimicr obials Division hosted a meeting with Microban International, Ltd., the technical registrant of triclo san, to discuss the analytical methods for the surface water monitoring st udy required by the post-RED Data Call-In (DCI) issued in October 2011. The Agency is asking the registrant to measure levels of triclosan and its degradates at the effluent of textile manufacturing facilities. The meeting focused on identifying an analytical method with the ability to measure for triclosan and its degradates at the lowest possible detection leve ls. It was determined that Microban will only be responsible for monitori ng triclosan and methyl triclosan due to other sources of 2,4-dichlorophenol being pres ent in the textile ma nufacturing process. AD and the registrant also discussed other as pects of the DCI incl uding waiver requests and triggers for both the required and c onditionally required da ta requirements.

Next Steps The Agency agreed to recommend an analytic al method for Microban to utilize for the water monitoring study in the very near future. The registrant intends to sample textile facilities by the end of February. Also, Micr oban and the Agency will continue to have

discussions about the DCI.

#### The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Ronald Simpson, Appellant.

Case held, decision reserved and matter remitted to Monroe County Court, for further proceedings in accordance with the following memorandum: The defendant was convicted of one count of robbery in the second degree (Penal Law, § 160.10, subd 1). Among other things, he contends that he was denied his right to a speedy trial in violation of CPL 30.30. The trial court, after hearing oral arguments, denied his motion for dismissal of the indictment without making findings concerning statutory periods of exclusion. As the trial court noted, this case involved numerous adjournments. Some of these periods of delay may be charged to the defendant. However, it is impossible to determine such periods of delay from this record. On remand the trial court should conduct a hearing and make appropriate findings in accordance with CPL 30.30 (subd 4). At the hearing it will be incumbent upon the prosecution to establish statutory periods of exclusion which justify the delay *(People v Del*
      *1009
      *Valle,*63 AD2d 830). We have considered the other issues raised by the defendant and find them to be without merit. (Appeal from judgment: of Monroe County Court—robbery, second degree, and grand larceny, third degree.) Present—Marsh, P. J., Cardamone, Dillon, Schnepp and Witmer, JJ.
### §3993. Desert-land entries

#### (a) Desert-land rights not forfeited

A desert-land entry made or held under the desert-land laws before the entrance of the entryman or the entryman's successor in interest into military service shall not be subject to contest or cancellation—

(1) for failure to expend any required amount per acre per year in improvements upon the claim;

(2) for failure to effect the reclamation of the claim during the period the entryman or the entryman's successor in interest is in the military service, or for 180 days after termination of or release from military service; or

(3) during any period of hospitalization or rehabilitation due to an injury or disability incurred in the line of duty.

The time within which the entryman or claimant is required to make such expenditures and effect reclamation of the land shall be exclusive of the time periods described in paragraphs (2) and (3).

#### (b) Service-related disability

If an entryman or claimant is honorably discharged and is unable to accomplish reclamation of, and payment for, desert land due to a disability incurred in the line of duty, the entryman or claimant may make proof without further reclamation or payments, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior, and receive a patent for the land entered or claimed.

#### (c) Filing requirement

In order to obtain the protection of this section, the entryman or claimant shall, within 180 days after entry into military service, cause to be filed in the land office of the district where the claim is situated a notice communicating the fact of military service and the desire to hold the claim under this section.
