SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Availability: Electronic

copies of this document and the PR

notice are available from the EPA home

page at the Environmental Sub-Set entry

for this document under ‘‘Regulations’’

(http:// www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/).

EPA is announcing its interim

approach to implementing the new food

safety requirements of the Food Quality

Protection Act (FQPA), enacted in

August 1996. Until permanent policies

can be developed, this interim guidance

will enable EPA to make sound, timely

pesticide regulatory decisions that meet

the stringent standards of the new law,

including specific safety findings for

infants and children.

The FQPA calls for additional

scientific analyses which have not

routinely been a part of EPA’s pesticide

risk assessment procedures, such as

consideration of risks from chemicals

that share a common mechanism of

toxicity, potential endocrine effects, and

combined exposures from dietary and

nondietary sources.

The interim measures will allow the

Agency to act on pending pesticide

applications while promoting sound

protective decisions that are consistent

with current scientific knowledge,

available data, and reasonable

assumptions. As more data become

available and new knowledge emerges,

the Agency’s approach will be flexible

enough to incorporate them. The notice

also explains what EPA’s priorities will

be for review of pesticide applications

under the interim guidance. EPA will

give highest priority to reveiw of

requests for pesticide uses to deal with

emergency conditions. EPA also will

give priority to reduced risk and

biological pesticides.

This Federal Register notice

announces the availability of the PR

Notice and instructs registrants on how

to obtain it.

EPA Air and Radiation Docket and

Information Center, Docket No. A–96–

17. The docket is open for public

inspection and copying between 8 a.m.

and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday

except for Federal holidays, at the

following address: U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Air and Radiation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Technology Transfer Network (TTN)

The TTN is one of the EPA’s

electronic bulletin boards. The TTN can

be accessed through the Internet or

directly by modem. Through the

Internet, the TTN may be accessed at:

TELNET: ttnbbs.rtpnc.epa.gov

FTP: ttnftp.rtpnc.epa.gov

WWW: ttnwww.rtpnc.epa.gov

When accessing the WWW site, select

TTN BBS Web from the first menu, then

select Gateway to TTN Technical Areas

from the second menu, and finally,

select ICCR-Industrial Combustion

Coordinated Rulemaking from the third

menu.

By modem, dial (919) 541–5742 for up

to a 14,400 bits-per-second information

transfer connection. After logging on to

the system, select Gateway to the TTN

Technical Areas from the menu and

then select ICCR-Industrial Combustion

Coordinated Rulemaking from the next

menu. Access to the TTN through

Telnet will look the same as if you had

dialed by modem, so these instructions

should be followed for a Telnet

connection.

Access to the TTN through FTP is a

streamlined approach for downloading

files, but is only useful, if the desired

filenames are known.

If more information on the TTN is

needed, call the help desk at (919) 541–

5384.

All Coordinating Committee meetings

will be announced in the Federal

Register. Work Group meetings will be

announced on the TTN. Individuals

interested in Work Group meetings, or

any aspect of the ICCR for that matter,

should access the TTN on a regular

basis for information.

Two copies of the Coordinating

Committee charter are filed with

appropriate committees of Congress and

the Library of Congress and are available

upon request to the Docket (ask for item

#I–B–1). The purpose of the

Coordinating Committee is to assist EPA

in the development of regulations to

control emissions of air pollutants from

industrial, commercial, and institutional

combustion of fuels and non-hazardous

solid wastes. The Coordinating

Committee will attempt to develop

recommendations for national emission
8728 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 38 / Wednesday, February 26, 1997 / Notices

standards for hazardous air pollutants

(NESHAP) implementing section 112

and solid waste combustion regulations

implementing section 129 of the Act,

and may review and make

recommendations for revising and

developing new source performance

standards (NSPS) under section 111 of

the Act. The recommendations will

cover boilers, process heaters,

industrial/commercial and other

incinerators, stationary internal

combustion engines, and stationary

combustion turbines.

The lists of Coordinating Committee

and Work Group members are available

from the TTN for the purpose of giving

the public the opportunity to contact

members to discuss concerns or

information they would like to bring

forward during the ICCR process.

The next meeting of the Coordinating

Committee will be held March 19 and

20, 1997 in Chicago, Illinois at the Hotel

Inter-Continental located at 505 North

Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois from

about 8:30 a.m. to about 6:00 p.m. on

held on March 19, if necessary, to

ensure completion of the agenda. The

agenda for this meeting will include

reports from the Work Groups on their

progress and planning, discussion of

data gathering efforts to support the

ICCR, and a discussion of direction and

guidance from the Coordinating

Committee to the Work Groups. This

meeting will also be open to the public,

and an opportunity will be provided for

the public to offer comments and

address the Coordinating Committee.

It is anticipated that the next meeting

of the Coordinating Committee,

following the meeting in March, will be

May 21 and 22, 1997 in Research
