A. Notice of Filing—Amended 

Tolerance Exemptions for Inerts (Except 

PIPS) 

PP IN–11755. EPA–HQ–OPP–2023– 

0368. Spring Regulatory Sciences (6620 

Cypresswood Dr., Suite 250, Spring, TX 

77379), on behalf of Sasol Chemicals 

(USA) LLC, (12120 Wickchester Lane, 

Houston, TX 77224), requests to amend 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of fatty acids, 

C16–18 and C18–unsatd., esters with 

polyethylene glycol mono-Me ether 

(CAS Reg. No. 518299–31–5) by adding 

its use as an inert ingredient (surfactant 

and related adjuvants of surfactants) 

limited to 25% by weight in pesticide 

formulations under 40 CFR 180.910. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because it is not 

required for an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. Contact: RD.

Regulation, Subcontractor Labor Hour 

Rates Under Time and Materials 

Contracts (HSAR Case 2010–001); 

Withdrawal 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Procurement 

Officer, Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS). 

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal of 

proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) is withdrawing its 

proposed rule titled Homeland Security 

Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) 

Subcontractor Labor Hour Rates Under 

Time and Materials Contracts (HSAR 

Case 2010–001) and providing this 

notice of cancellation. The notice of 

proposed rulemaking proposed to 

amend the Homeland Security 

Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) parts 

3016 and 3052 to require DHS contracts 

for time and material or labor hours 

(T&M/LH) to include separate labor 

hour rates for subcontractors and a 

description of the method that will be 

used to record and bill for labor hours 

for both contractors and subcontractors. 

DHS is withdrawing this proposed rule 

because of differing agency priorities 

and the staleness of the public 

comments. DHS will not take any 

further action on this proposal. 

DATES: The proposed rule published on 

August 21, 2012 (75 FR 50449) is 

withdrawn effective September 19, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: Mail: Department of 

Homeland Security, Office of the Chief 

Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy 

and Legislation, ATTN: Catherine 

Benavides, 245 Murray Drive, Bldg. 410

Catherine Benavides, Procurement 

Analyst, DHS, Office of the Chief 

Procurement Officer, Acquisition Policy 

and Legislation at (202) 897–8301 or 

email HSAR@hq.dhs.gov. When using 

email, include HSAR Case 2010–001 in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

21, 2012, the Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) proposed to amend the 

Department of Homeland Security 

Acquisition Regulation (HSAR), 48 CFR 

chapters 3016 and 3052 to propose 

regulations to require DHS contracts for 

T&M/LH to include separate labor hour 

rates for subcontractors and a 

description of the method that will be 

used to record and bill for labor hours 

for both contractors and subcontractors. 

DHS is withdrawing this proposed rule 

because it is not a mandated 

requirement to set agency specific 

procedures. DHS is withdrawing this 

proposed rule and will not take any 

further action on this proposal.

Chief Procurement Officer, Department of

Statement 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,

ACTION: Notification of the availability of 

a final environmental impact statement 

and draft record of decision. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), announce the 

availability of a final environmental 

impact statement (EIS) and draft record 

of decision (ROD) under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended, for our intended action of 

establishing a nonessential experimental

population (NEP) of the gray wolf (Canis 

lupus) in the State of Colorado. The 

State of Colorado (Colorado Parks and 

Wildlife, or CPW) requested that the 

Service establish an NEP in conjunction 

with their State-led gray wolf 

reintroduction effort. Establishment of 

this NEP under section 10(j) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended, would provide for allowable, 

legal, purposeful, and incidental take of 

the gray wolf within the State of 

Colorado, while also providing for the 

conservation of the species. In the FEIS, 

we analyzed the environmental 

consequences of a range of alternatives 

for our proposed rule. The action would 

be implemented through a final rule. 

DATES: The Service will issue a record 

of decision no sooner than 30 days after 

publication of this announcement of the 

availability of the final EIS in the 

Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Document availability: The 

final EIS, draft ROD, and other 

supporting documents are available on 

the internet at https://

www.regulations.gov in Docket No. 

FWS–R6–ES–2022–0100 and on the 

Service’s website at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We 

announce the availability of the final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

and our draft record of decision (ROD) 

for the proposed establishment of a 

nonessential experimental population 

(NEP) of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) in 

the State of Colorado under section 10(j) 

of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, 

as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). We 

developed the final EIS in compliance 

with the agency decision making 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), as amended. Our 

final EIS provides updates, as needed, to 

information presented in the draft EIS, 

including revisions in response to issues 

raised in comments received during the 

public review period. We have 

described and evaluated all alternatives 

in our final EIS. Our draft decision is 

based on our review of the alternatives 

and their environmental consequences, 

as described in the final EIS. 

Background 

On July 21, 2022 (87 FR 43489), we 

published a notification of intent to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) for this action and held 

public scoping meetings, in person on 

August 2, 3, and 4, and virtually on 

August 10, 2022. Cooperating agencies 

included multiple Federal and State 

agencies, Tribal Governments, and local 

governments. We also participated in 

Tribal working groups and Tribal 

coordination meetings. Additionally, we 

shared information with the public 

through a dedicated website, emails, inperson meetings, and webinars. 

We published the proposed rule and 

noticed the availability of the draft EIS 

on February 17, 2023 (88 FR 10258), 

which opened a 60-day public comment 

period for both documents. During the 

public comment period, we hosted four 

in-person informational public meetings 

on March 14, 15, 16, and 28, and a 

virtual public meeting on March 22, 

2023. The public comment period 

closed on April 18, 2023. We received 

4,290 pieces of correspondence during 

the public comment period, with 1 

correspondence having 16,233 

signatures. We developed our final EIS 

after assessing and considering all 

comments, both individually and 

collectively. Our response to the 

substantive comments that we received 

are provided as an appendix to the final 

EIS.
