teleconference will be placed on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab 

in advance of the teleconference. For 

technical questions and information

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to EPA. Members of the public 

can submit comments for a Federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. They should 

send their comments directly to the 

Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes per speaker, 

with no more than a total of 30 minutes 

for all speakers. Each person making an 

oral statement should consider 

providing written comments as well as 

their oral statement so that the points 

presented orally can be expanded upon 

in writing. Interested parties should 

contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, in 

writing (preferably via e-mail) at the 

contact information noted above by 

September 23, 2010 to be placed on the 

list of public speakers. Written 

Statements: Written statements should 

be supplied to the DFO via email at the 

contact information noted above by 

September 23, 2010 so that the 

information may be made available to 

the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. 

Submitters are requested to provide 

versions of signed documents, 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or 

yeow.aaron@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Mr. Yeow preferably at least ten 

days prior to the teleconference to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

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 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is announcing its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions filed under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

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

346a, proposing the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. EPA has determined 

that the pesticide petitions described in 

this notice contain the data or 

information prescribed 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 petitions. Additional data may 

be needed before EPA can make a final 

determination on these pesticide 

petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of this notice, prepared 

by the petitioner, is included in a docket 

EPA has created for each rulemaking. 

The docket for each of the petitions is 

available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit.

Proposed Approval of the Central 

Characterization Project’s Transuranic 

Waste Characterization Program at the 

Hanford Site 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; opening 

of public comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or the Agency) is 

announcing the availability of, and 

soliciting public comments for 45 days 

on, the proposed approval of the 

radioactive contact-handled (CH) 

transuranic (TRU) waste 

characterization program implemented 

by the Central Characterization Project 

(CCP) at the Hanford Site in Richland, 

Washington. This waste is intended for 

disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot 

Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico. 

In accordance with the WIPP 

Compliance Criteria, EPA evaluated the 

characterization of TRU debris waste 

from Hanford-CCP during an inspection 

conducted on April 27–29, 2010. Using 

the systems and processes developed as 

part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s 

(DOE’s) Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) 

program, EPA verified whether DOE 

could adequately characterize CH TRU 

debris waste, consistent with the 

Compliance Criteria. The results of 

EPA’s evaluation of Hanford-CCP’s 

waste characterization program and its 

proposed approval are described in the 

Agency’s inspection report, which is 

available for review in the public 

dockets listed in ADDRESSES. We will 

consider public comments received on 

or before the due date mentioned in 

DATES. 

This notice summarizes the waste 

characterization processes evaluated by 

EPA and EPA’s proposed approval. As 

required by the 40 CFR 194.8, at the end 

of a 45-day comment period EPA will 

evaluate public comments received, and 

if appropriate, finalize the reports 

responding to the relevant public 

comments and issue a final report and 

approval letter to DOE. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 25, 2010.
