SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 3, 2012, we published in 

the Federal Register (77 FR 46339– 

46340, Docket No. APHIS–2012–0001), 

an advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking (ANPR) to solicit public 

comment on whether and how we 

should amend our process for 

responding to domestic chrysanthemum 

white rust (CWR) outbreaks and the 

importation of plant material that is a 

host of CWR. CWR is an economically 

important disease in both field-grown 

and greenhouse-grown chrysanthemum 

plants, as well as cut flower production. 

The ANPR specifically asks for 

comments regarding four options under 

consideration. These options are: 

Continuing to manage CWR as a 

quarantine pest with the objective of 

continuing to eradicate new 

infestations; revising the current 

regulations to designate CWR as a 

regulated non-quarantine pest; no longer 

managing CWR as a quarantine pest 

whose presence requires an eradicationoriented response, but maintaining port 

of entry restrictions for 

chrysanthemums destined to those 

States where CWR is not present and 

where these States have established an 

official control program under the 

Federally Recognized State-Managed 

Phytosanitary Program; or completely 

removing CWR as a quarantine pest 

whose presence requires an eradicationoriented response. 

Comments on the ANPR were 

required to be received on or before 

October 2, 2012. We are reopening the 

comment period on Docket No. APHIS– 

2012–0001 for an additional 30 days. 

This action will allow interested 

persons additional time to prepare and 

submit comments. We will also accept 

comments received between October 3, 

2012 (the day after the close of the 

original comment period) and the date 

of this notice. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 450 and 7 U.S.C. 7701– 

7772 and 7781–7786; 21 U.S.C. 136 and 136a; 

7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.2(c). 

Done in Washington, DC, this 25th day of 

October 2012. 

Peter Fernandez, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.

Section 610 Reviews of Heavy-Duty 

Engine and Vehicle Standards and 

Highway Diesel Fuel Sulfur Control 

Requirements; NESHAP: Reinforced 

Plastic Composites Production; and 

NPDES Permit Regulation and Effluent 

Limitations Guidelines Standards for 

Concentrated Animal Feeding 

Operations (CAFOs) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Request for comments on three 

Regulatory Flexibility Act section 610 

Reviews. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that 

EPA will review three regulatory actions 

pursuant to section 610 of the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. Those three 

actions are: Heavy-Duty Engine and 

Vehicle Standards and Highway Diesel 

Fuel Sulfur Control Requirements 

(Heavy-Duty 610 Review); NESHAP: 

Reinforced Plastic Composites 

Production (Plastics 610 Review); and 

NPDES Permit Regulation and Effluent 

Limitations Guidelines Standards for 

CAFOs (CAFO 610 Review). As part of 

this review, EPA will consider and 

solicit comments on the following 

factors: The continued need for the 

rules; the nature of complaints or 

comments received concerning the 

rules; the complexity of the rules; the 

extent to which the rules overlap, 

duplicate, or conflict with other Federal, 

State, or local government rules; and the 

degree to which the technology, 

economic conditions or other factors 

have changed in areas affected by the 

rules.
