II. What Action is EPA Taking? 

This document extends the public 

comment period established in the 

Federal Register of August 2, 2006 (70 

FR 10090) (FRL–7697–1). In that 

document, the Agency provided a 60–

day comment period for public input on 

the reregistration decision for PCNB, 

particularly on the benefits associated 

with particular minor uses of PCNB. 

EPA is hereby extending the comment

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is printing a summary of a 

pesticide petition received under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

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

346a, proposing the establishment of 

regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of pesticide chemicals in or on 

various food commodities. EPA has 

determined that this pesticide petition 

contains data or information regarding 

the elements set forth in FFDCA section 

408(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 petition. Additional data may 

be needed before EPA rules on this 

pesticide petition. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of the petition included in this 

notice, prepared by the petitioner along 

with a description of the analytical 

method available for the detection and 

measurement of the pesticide chemical 

residues is available on EPA’s Electronic 

Docket at http://www.regulations.gov. 

To locate this information on the home 

page of EPA’s Electronic Docket, select 

‘‘Quick Search’’ and type the OPP 

docket ID number. Once the search has 

located the docket, clicking on the

summary. 

New Tolerances 

PP 6F7101. Dow AgroSciences LLC, 

9330 Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 

46268-1054, proposes to establish 

tolerances for residues of the herbicide 

pyroxsulam, N-(5,7- 

dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5- 

a]pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-methoxy-4- 

(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinesulfonamide 

in or on the food/feed commodities 

wheat, forage at 0.04 parts per million 

(ppm); wheat, grain at 0.01 ppm; wheat, 

hay at 0.01 ppm; and wheat, straw at 

0.01 ppm. An analytical method was 

developed to measure the pyroxsulam 

in wheat by liquid chromatography with 

positive-ion electrospray ionization

Air Quality Criteria for Lead 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the 

availability of a document titled, ‘‘Air 

Quality Criteria for Lead’’ (EPA/600/R–

05/144aC–bC) (AQCD for Lead). The 

document was prepared by the National 

Center for Environmental Assessment 

(NCEA) within EPA’s Office of Research 

and Development. 

ADDRESSES: The ‘‘Air Quality Criteria 

for Lead’’ will be available primarily via 

the Internet on the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment’s home page 

under the Recent Additions and 

Publications menus at http:// 

www.epa.gov/ncea. A limited number of 

CD–ROM or paper copies will be 

available. Contact Ms. Diane Ray by 

phone (919–541–3637), fax (919–541–

1818), or e-mail (ray.diane@epa.gov) to 

request either of these, and please 

provide your name, your mailing 

address, and the document title, ‘‘Air 

Quality Criteria for Lead’’ (EPA/600/R–

05/144aC–bC) to facilitate processing of 

your request. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

technical information, contact Lori 

White, PhD, NCEA; telephone: 919–

e-mail: white.lori@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the 

Administrator to identify certain air 

pollutants, which ‘‘may reasonably be 

anticipated to endanger public health 

and welfare’’ and to issue air quality 

criteria for them. These air quality 

criteria are to ‘‘accurately reflect the 

latest scientific knowledge useful in 

indicating the kind and extent of all 

identifiable effects on public health or 

welfare which may be expected from the 

presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient 

air * *. *.’’ Under section 109 of the 

Act, EPA is then to establish National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for each pollutant for which 

EPA has issued criteria. Section 109(d) 

of the Act requires subsequent periodic 

review and, if appropriate, revision of 

existing air quality criteria to reflect 

advances in scientific knowledge on the 

effects of the pollutant on public health 

and welfare. EPA is also to revise the 

NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the 

revised criteria. 

Lead is one of six ‘‘criteria’’ pollutants 

for which EPA has established air 

quality criteria and NAAQS. On 

November 9, 2004 (69 FR 64926), EPA 

formally initiated its current review of 

the criteria and NAAQS for lead, 

requesting the submission of recent 

scientific information on specified 

topics. A draft of EPA’s ‘‘Project Work 

Plan for Revised Air Quality Criteria for 

Lead’’ (NCEA–R–1465) was released on 

January 7, 2005, for public comment (70 

FR 1439) and was discussed by the 

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC) via a publicly 

accessible teleconference consultation 

on March 28, 2005 (70 FR 11629). On 

July 15, 2005 (70 FR 41007), several 

workshops were announced to discuss, 

with invited recognized scientific 

experts, initial draft materials that dealt 

with various lead-related issues being 

addressed in the draft AQCD for lead.
