SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

www.regulations.gov or email. 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 pesticide 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

Under section 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the 

discretion of the EPA Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the EPA Administrator determines 

that emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. Michigan 

Department of Agriculture has requested 

the EPA Administrator to issue a 

specific exemption for the use of 

kasugamycin on apples to control fire 

blight (Erwinia amylovora). Information 

in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was 

submitted as part of this request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that kasugamycin is needed to 

control streptomycin-resistant strains of 

Erwinia amylovora, the causal pathogen 

of fire blight, due to the lack of available 

alternatives and effective control 

practices; and significant economic 

losses will occur if this pest is not 

controlled. 

The applicant proposes to make no 

more than three applications of 

Kasumin 2 (L) on not more than 10,000 

acres of apples between April 1 and 

May 31, 2014 in Antrim, Berrien, Cass, 

Grand Traverse, Ionia, Kent, Leelanau, 

Montcalm, Newaygo, Oceana, Ottawa, 

and Van Buren counties. As currently 

proposed, the maximum amount of 

product to be applied would be 15,000 

gallons. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing FIFRA 

section 18 require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing use of a 

new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) 

which has not been registered by EPA. 

The notice provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the application. 

The Agency will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific exemption 

requested by the Michigan Department 

of Agriculture.

Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas 

Emissions and Sinks: 1990–2012 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of document availability 

and request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Draft Inventory of U.S. 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 

1990–2012 is available for public 

review. Annual U.S. emissions for the 

period of time from 1990 through 2012 

are summarized and presented by 

source category and sector. The 

inventory contains estimates of carbon 

dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous 

oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), 

perfluorocarbons (PFC), and sulfur 

hexafluoride (SF6) emissions. The 

inventory also includes estimates of 

carbon fluxes in U.S. agricultural and 

forest lands. The technical approach 

used in this report to estimate emissions 

and sinks for greenhouse gases is 

consistent with the methodologies 

recommended by the Intergovernmental 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and 

reported in a format consistent with the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

10144 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 36 / Monday, February 24, 2014 / Notices

on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting 

guidelines. The Inventory of U.S. 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 

1990–2012 is the latest in a series of 

annual U.S. submissions to the 

Secretariat of the UNFCCC. EPA 

requests recommendations for 

improving the overall quality of the 

inventory report to be finalized in April 

2014, as well as subsequent inventory 

reports. 

DATES: To ensure your comments are

Commission (FCC) invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s). 

Comments are requested concerning: 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

the accuracy of the Commission’s 

burden estimate(s); ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and further 

ways to reduce the information burden 

for small business concerns with fewer 

than 25 employees. 

The FCC may not conduct or sponsor 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB Control 

Number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid OMB Control 

Number.

Act (PRA) comments should be 

submitted on or before April 25, 2014. 

If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting PRA comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of
