guidance does not change transportation 

conformity rule requirements for hotspot analyses, such as what types of 

projects are subject to hot-spot analyses. 

EPA notes that the guidance, once 

finalized, would help implement 

existing requirements in the CAA and 

conformity rule and is not a regulation. 

IV. Request for Comments 

EPA is seeking comment on all 

aspects of the draft PM hot-spot 

modeling guidance. In particular, EPA is 

seeking comments on the following: 

(1) Does the draft guidance provide 

sufficient information on how to 

configure and run MOVES2010 and 

EMFAC2007 at the project level? 

(2) Do the air quality modeling 

sections of the draft guidance and 

references to other existing documents 

provide sufficient detail for air quality 

modelers to conduct PM hot-spot 

analyses using AERMOD or 

CAL3QHCR? 

(3) Is there sufficient information in 

the draft guidance to calculate design 

values and determine appropriate 

receptors? If not, what additional 

information is necessary? 

(4) Are there issues that the draft 

guidance does not address that should 

be addressed in the final guidance or in 

other EPA efforts? 

(5) What types of outreach, training, 

and other technical assistance would be 

helpful in implementing the final 

guidance? 

EPA encourages those submitting 

comments to provide specific details 

and/or examples wherever possible.

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 e-mail. 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 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1
29540 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 26, 2010 / Notices 

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. 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. The Nevada 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the Administrator to issue a specific 

exemption for the use of spirotetramat 

on onions to control thrips. Information 

in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was 

submitted as part of this request, and is 

available for review at http:// 

www.regulations.gov under docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–2010-0178 

This is the first request from this 

applicant for this use. The rationale for 

emergency approval of the use in the 

application is that onion thrips are 

sucking insects which both directly 

damage the crop and also vector the 

plant disease Iris Yellow Spot Virus. 

The application package for Nevada is 

available for review at http:// 

www.regulations.gov under docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–2010-0178. 

The Applicant proposes to make no 

more than two applications of Movento 

(22.4% spirotetramat) on a maximum of 

5,000 acres of onions between May and 

September, 2010 in Nevada. Total 

amount of pesticide to be used is 50,000 

fluid ounces of Movento (800 pounds of 

spirotetramat). 

EPA has decided to open a shortened 

comment period and solicit input and 

comments from the public for 5 days. 

Ordinarily, the length of a comment 

period for an emergency exemption 

application is 15 days. However, EPA is 

shortening this comment period to 5 

days because thrips have already begun 

to appear in Nevada, and once they 

begin transmitting plant disease control 

of the disease becomes increasingly 

difficult. Because of these factors, EPA 

determined that a 5 day comment 

period is appropriate. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself but provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the application. 

EPA has determined that publication of 

a notice of receipt of this application for 

a specific exemption is appropriate, 

taking into consideration that the 

registration of the spirotetramat product 

that is the subject of this emergency 

exemption request was recently 

cancelled as a result of the December 23, 

2009 decision of the U.S. District Court 

for the Southern District of New York 

vacating its registration on procedural 

grounds. The vacatur decision is 

available for review at http:// 

www.regulations.gov under docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–2010-0178. 

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 

Nevada Department of Agriculture.

AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2010-0397; FRL–8825–8] 

Notice of Suspension of Certain 

Pesticide Registrations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice, pursuant to 

section 6(f)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 

announces certain Notices of Intent to 

Suspend issued by EPA pursuant to 

section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA. Each Notice 

of Intent to Suspend was issued 

following the Agency’s issuance of a 

Data Call-In notice (DCI), which 

required the registrants of the affected 

pesticide products containing a certain 

pesticide active ingredient to take 

appropriate steps to secure certain data, 

and following the registrant’s failure to 

submit these data or to take other 

appropriate steps to secure the required 

data. The subject data were determined 

to be required to maintain in effect the 

existing registrations of the affected 

product(s). Failure to comply with the 

data requirements of a DCI is a basis for 

suspension of the affected registrations 

under section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA. 

DATES: The Notice of Intent to Suspend 

included in this Federal Register notice 

will become a final and effective 

suspension order automatically by 

operation of law 30 days after the date 

of the registrant’s receipt of the mailed 

Notice of Intent to Suspend or 30 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register (if the 

mailed Notice of Intent to Suspend is 

returned to the Administrator as 

undeliverable, if delivery is refused, or 

if the Administrator otherwise is unable 

to accomplish delivery to the registrant 

after making reasonable efforts to do so), 

unless during that time a timely and 

adequate request for a hearing is made 

by a person adversely affected by the 

Notice of Intent to Suspend or the 

registrant has satisfied the 

Administrator that the registrant has 

complied fully with the requirements 

that served as a basis for the Notice of 

Intent to Suspend. Unit IV. explains 

what must be done to avoid suspension 

under this notice (i.e., how to request a 

hearing or how to comply fully with the 

requirements that served as a basis for 

the Notice of Intent to Suspend).
