Pollutant Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES) general permits for potable 

water treatment facility (PWTF) 

discharges to certain waters of the 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts 

(included both Commonwealth and 

Indian country lands) and the State of 

New Hampshire. These General Permits 

replace the previous PWTF GP, which 

expired on November 15, 2005. 

The final PWTF GP establishes Notice 

of Intent (NOI) requirements, effluent 

limitations, standards, prohibitions, and 

management practices for facilities with 

discharges from potable water treatment 

facilities. Owners and/or operators of 

these facilities, including those 

currently authorized to discharge under 

the expired General Permit, will be 

required to submit an NOI to be covered 

by the PWTF GP to both EPA-New 

England and the appropriate state 

agency. After EPA and the State have 

reviewed the NOI, the facility will 

receive a written notification from EPA 

of permit coverage and authorization to 

discharge under the General Permit. 

DATES: The general permits shall be 

effective on the date of signature and 

will expire at midnight, five (5) years 

from the last day of the month 

preceding the effective date. 

ADDRESSES: The required notification 

information to obtain permit coverage is 

provided for in the general permits. This 

information shall be submitted to both 

EPA and the appropriate State. 

Notification information may be sent via 

USPS, e-mail or fax to EPA at EPA– 

Region 1, Office of Ecosystem Protection 

(CMU), One Congress Street, Boston, 

Massachusetts 02114–2023; e-mail 

address 

PWTF.GeneralPermit@EPA.GOV; or fax 

number (617) 918–0505. Notification 

information shall be submitted to the 

appropriate State agency at the 

addresses listed in Appendix VI of the 

general permits. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Additional information concerning the 

final PWTF GP may be obtained 

between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

Monday through Friday, excluding 

holidays, from Damien Houlihan at

D. How May I Participate in This 

Meeting? 

You may participate in this meeting 

by following the instructions in this 

section. To ensure proper receipt by

docket ID number EPA–HQ–ORD–2009– 

0658 in the subject line on the first page 

of your request. 

a. Oral comments. Requests to present 

oral comments will be accepted up to 

October 13, 2009. To the extent that 

time permits, interested persons who 

have not pre-registered may be 

permitted by the Chair of the HSRB to 

present oral comments at the meeting. 

Each individual or group wishing to 

make brief oral comments to the HSRB 

is strongly advised to submit their 

request (preferably via e-mail) to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT no later than 

noon, Eastern time, October 13, 2009, in 

order to be included on the meeting 

agenda and to provide sufficient time 

for the HSRB Chair and HSRB 

Designated Federal Officer (DFO) to 

review the agenda to provide an 

appropriate public comment period. 

The request should identify the name of 

the individual making the presentation, 

the organization (if any) the individual 

will represent, and any requirements for 

audiovisual equipment (e.g., overhead 

projector, LCD projector, chalkboard). 

Oral comments before the HSRB are 

limited to five minutes per individual or 

organization. Please note that this limit 

applies to the cumulative time used by 

all individuals appearing either as part 

of, or on behalf of an organization. 

While it is our intent to hear a full range 

of oral comments on the science and 

ethics issues under discussion, it is not 

our intent to permit organizations to 

expand these time limitations by having 

numerous individuals sign up 

separately to speak on their behalf. If 

additional time is available, there may 

be flexibility in time for public 

comments. Each speaker should bring 

25 copies of his or her comments and 

presentation slides for distribution to 

the HSRB at the meeting. 

b. Written comments. Although you 

may submit written comments at any 

time, for the HSRB to have the best 

opportunity to review and consider your 

comments as it deliberates on its report, 

you should submit your comments at 

least five business days prior to the 

beginning of the meeting. If you submit 

comments after this date, those 

comments will be provided to the Board 

members, but you should recognize that 

the Board members may not have 

adequate time to consider those 

comments prior to making a decision. 

Thus, if you plan to submit written 

comments, the Agency strongly 

encourages you to submit such 

comments no later than noon, Eastern 

Time, October 13, 2009. You should 

submit your comments using the 

instructions in Unit I.C. of this notice. 

In addition, the Agency also requests 

that person(s) submitting comments 

directly to the docket also provide a 

copy of their comments to the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. There is no limit on the length 

of written comments for consideration 

by the HSRB. 

E. Background 

a. Topics for discussion. The HSRB is 

a Federal advisory committee operating 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 5 

U.S.C. App. 2 § 9. The HSRB provides 

advice, information, and 

recommendations to EPA on issues 

related to scientific and ethical aspects 

of human subjects research. The major 

objectives of the HSRB are to provide 

advice and recommendations on: (1) 

Research proposals and protocols; (2) 

reports of completed research with 

human subjects; and (3) how to 

strengthen EPA’s programs for 

protection of human subjects of 

research. The HSRB reports to the EPA 

Administrator through EPA’s Science 

Advisor. 

At its meeting on October 20–21, 

2009, EPA’s Human Studies Review 

Board will consider scientific and 

ethical issues surrounding three topics: 


pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 190 / Friday, October 2, 2009 / Notices 50967 

1. Two published reports of 

completed, pre-rule research on the 

effects of exposure to pesticides 

containing pyrethrins/pyrethroids. EPA 

requests the advice of the HSRB on the 

scientific merit, relevancy, and 

limitations of these studies, and on their 

ethical acceptability. EPA intends to 

incorporate into a future revision of the 

EPA White Paper, ‘‘A Review of the 

Relationship between Pyrethrins, 

Pyrethroid Exposure and Asthma and 

Allergies,’’ a discussion of either or both 

of these studies if they are deemed to be 

scientifically sound, relevant and 

ethically acceptable. 

2. A proposal for new research to be 

conducted by Carroll-Loye Biological 

Research to evaluate in the laboratory 

the repellent efficacy to ticks of two 

registered products containing 20% 

picaridin. EPA requests the advice of 

the HSRB concerning whether, if it is 

revised as suggested in EPA’s review 

and if it is performed as described, this 

research is likely to generate 

scientifically reliable data, useful for 

assessing the efficacy of the tested 

materials in repelling ticks, and to meet 

the applicable requirements of 40 CFR 

part 26, subparts K and L. 

3. A new scenario design and 

associated protocol from the 

Antimicrobials Exposure Assessment 

Task Force II (AEATF–II), describing 

proposed research to monitor at three 

sites the dermal and inhalation 

exposure of professional janitorial 

workers who apply an antimicrobial 

pesticide formulated as an aerosol 

spray. EPA requests the advice of the 

HSRB concerning whether, if it is 

revised as suggested in EPA’s review 

and if it is performed as described, this 

research is likely to generate 

scientifically reliable data, useful for 

assessing the exposure of those who 

apply antimicrobial pesticides as 

aerosols, and to meet the applicable 

requirements of 40 CFR part 26, 

subparts K and L. 

In addition, the Board will be 

reviewing its draft June 24–25, 2009, 

meeting report for subsequent Board 

approval. Finally, the HSRB may also 

discuss planning for future HSRB 

meetings. 

b. Meeting minutes and reports. 

Minutes of the meeting, summarizing 

the matters discussed and 

recommendations, if any, made by the 

advisory committee regarding such 

matters, will be released within 90 

calendar days of the meeting. Such 

minutes will be available at http:// 

www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ and http:// 

www.regulations.gov. In addition, 

information concerning a Board meeting 

report, if applicable, can be found at 

http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ or from 

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.
