production and handling operations, 

producers and handlers should be able 

to use them in their operations as soon 

as possible. A 7-day period for 

interested persons to comment on this 

rule is provided. Interested persons 

have already been provided with 30 

days of public comment on these 38 

substances in advance of the NOSB 

meetings held May 6–8, 2002 and March 

27–29, 2007. The NOSB considered 

these comments during their reviews 

and concluded that the petitioners had 

provided sufficient evidence for adding 

these 38 substances to the National List. 

Since many producers, handlers and 

certifying agents may have 

misinterpreted National List regulations 

§ 205.606 to mean that any non-organic 

agricultural product that was not 

commercially available in organic form 

could be used in organic products 

without being individually listed on the 

National List, these 38 substances 

currently are being used in organic 

products. These 38 substances will be 

prohibited for use in organic products 

beginning June 9, 2007, unless they are 

added to the National List. Loss of the 

use of any of these products would 

disrupt the trade of food products 

currently being labeled as ‘‘organic’’. 

Therefore, the continued allowed use of 

these products as ingredients in foods 

labeled as ‘‘organic’’ is necessary to 

prevent possible significant business 

disruption for organic producers and 

handlers. AMS believes that a 7-day 

period for interested persons to 

comment on this proposed rule is 

appropriate.

Drawbridge Operation Regulations; 

Little River (S–20) Bridge, Atlantic 

Intracoastal Waterway Mile 347.3, 

Horry County, SC 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; 

withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

withdrawing its notice of proposed 

rulemaking concerning the proposed 

change to the regulation of the Little 

River (S–20) Bridge. The requested 

change was to place a twenty minute 

regulation on the bridge in lieu of ‘‘on 

demand’’. The withdrawal is based on 

limited vessel openings, comments 

received from the public, and the 

addition of a new high level fixed bridge 

within close proximity of the draw 

bridge which should help alleviate 

traffic congestion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 3, 2006, we published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking entitled 

‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulations; 

Little River (S–20) Bridge, Atlantic 

Intracoastal Waterway Mile 347.3, Horry 

County, SC’’ in the Federal Register (71 

FR 16527). The rulemaking concerned 

changing the current ‘‘on demand’’

schedule to an on the hour, twenty 

minutes past the hour and forty minutes 

pass the hour schedule. 

Withdrawal 

A new high level fixed bridge was 

constructed within close proximity of 

the moveable bridge, thereby providing 

an alternative for existing traffic and 

allowing for a reduction of vehicular 

traffic on the moveable bridge. The 

Little-River Bridge crosses the Atlantic 

Intracoastal Waterway and has an 

average of fewer than two openings per 

hour. Additionally, all of the comments 

received during the comment period of 

the notice of proposed rulemaking were 

in favor of keeping the current ‘‘on 

demand’’ schedule. 

Authority: This action is taken under the 

authority of 33 U.S.C. 499; Department of 

Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1; 33 

CFR 1.05–1(g); section 117.255 also issued 

under the authority of Pub. L. 102–587, 106 

Stat. 5039.

Commander, Seventh Coast Guard District.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Pennsylvania; Redesignation of the 

Lancaster 8-Hour Ozone 

Nonattainment Area to Attainment and 

Approval of the Associated 

Maintenance Plan and 2002 Base-Year 

Inventory 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a redesignation request and State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions 

submitted by the Commonwealth of 

Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania 

Department of Environmental Protection 

(PADEP) is requesting that the Lancaster 

ozone nonattainment area (‘‘Lancaster 

Area’’ or ‘‘Area’’) be redesignated as 

attainment for the 8-hour ozone national 

ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). 

The Area is comprised of Lancaster 

County, Pennsylvania. EPA is proposing 

to approve the ozone redesignation 

request for the Lancaster Area. In 

conjunction with its redesignation 

request, the Commonwealth submitted a 

SIP revision consisting of a maintenance 

plan for the Lancaster Area that 

provides for continued attainment of the 

8-hour ozone NAAQS for 11 years after 

redesignation. EPA is proposing to make 

a determination that the Lancaster Area 

has attained the 8-hour ozone NAAQS, 

based upon three years of complete, 

quality-assured ambient air quality 

monitoring data for 2003–2005. EPA’s 

proposed approval of the 8-hour ozone 

redesignation request is based on its 

determination that the Lancaster Area 

has met the criteria for redesignation to 

attainment specified in the Clean Air 

Act (CAA). In addition, the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has 

also submitted a 2002 base-year 

inventory for the Lancaster Area, and 

EPA is proposing to approve that 

inventory for the Lancaster Area as a SIP 

revision. EPA is also providing 

information on the status of its 

adequacy determination for the motor 

vehicle emission budgets (MVEBs) that 

are identified in the maintenance plan 

for the Lancaster Area for purposes of 

transportation conformity, and is also 

proposing to approve those MVEBs. 

EPA is proposing approval of the 

redesignation request and of the 

maintenance plan and 2002 base-year 

inventory SIP revisions in accordance 

with the requirements of the CAA.
