guidance does not change transportationconformity 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(1) Does the draft guidance provide sufficient information on how to configure and run MOVES2010 and EMFAC2007 at the project level?

(2) Do the air quality modeling sections of the draft guidance and references to other existing documents provide sufficient detail for air quality modelers to conduct PM hot-spot analyses using AERMOD or CAL3QHCR?

(3) Is there sufficient information in the draft guidance to calculate design values and determine appropriate receptors?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(4) Are there issues that the draft guidance does not address that should be addressed in the final guidance or in other EPA efforts?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.

Dated: May 17, 2010. Margo Tsirigotis Oge, Director, Office of Transportation and Air Quality.

. 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


### 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. List of Subjects

Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.

**ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 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).
