33280 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 8, 2011 / Notices 

finding. As a result of this EPA finding, 

BAPL–CCP had to revise several 

documents, which will be forwarded to 

EPA upon completion of the formal 

document control process. These freeze 

files will become final as formal, revised 

documents and provided to EPA before 

the end of the public comment period. 

Some of the revised documents that 

BAPL–CCP generated are subject to 

Bettis Laboratory’s Public Utterance 

process (see Section 7.2 of the 

accompanying inspection report), which 

could affect EPA’s planned approval 

schedule. EPA is accepting the BAPL– 

CCP freeze files as objective evidence to 

support its proposed approval. EPA 

expects (and Bettis Laboratory has 

agreed) that the revised formal 

documents will (a) Be identical to the 

freeze files, (b) undergo the Public 

Utterance Process during EPA’s 45-day 

public comment period window, and (c) 

be provided to EPA before the end of the 

comment period for review so EPA can 

issue its final approval of the BAPL– 

CCP RH TRU waste characterization 

program. 

EPA’s proposed approval for the 

BAPL–CCP waste characterization 

program implemented to characterize 

RH debris waste belonging to Waste 

Stream BT–T001 includes the following: 

(1) The AK process for 15 HIPs of RH 

retrievably-stored TRU debris 

designated as BAPL Waste Stream BT– 

T001 

(2) The radiological characterization 

process using DTC and scaling factors 

for assigning radionuclide values to 

Waste Stream BT–T001 that is 

documented in CCP–AK–BAPL–501, 

Revision 1, and supported by the 

calculation packages referenced in this 

report 

(3) The VE process to identify waste 

material parameters (WMPs) and the 

physical form of the waste. 

Generally, EPA’s RH and CH baseline 

inspections evaluate a site’s waste 

characterization program for technical 

adequacy and, when approved, the TRU 

site continues to use the approved 

program components to characterize 

additional wastes on an ongoing basis. 

However, the subject Bettis Laboratory 

waste stream has been fully 

characterized and no further waste 

characterization activities relative to 

this waste stream will take place. 

Therefore, this proposed approval is 

limited to the discrete set of 15 HIPs in 

BAPL Waste Stream BT–T001. As 

previously mentioned, a new baseline 

approval will be necessary for any 

legacy or newly-generated RH waste at 

the Bettis Laboratory. BAPL–CCP may 

not characterize any additional RH 

waste in the future based on this 

baseline approval. Consequently, EPA 

has not listed any Tier 1 (T1) or Tier 2 

(T2) designations relative to this waste 

and the waste characterization 

components covered by this proposed 

approval. 

EPA must verify compliance with 40 

CFR 194.24 before waste may be 

emplaced in the WIPP, as specified in 

Condition 3 of EPA’s certification of the 

WIPP’s compliance with disposal 

regulations for TRU radioactive waste 

[63 Federal Register (FR) 27354 and 

27405, May 18, 1998]. EPA Baseline 

Inspection No. EPA–BAPL–CCP–RH– 

04.11–8 was performed in accordance 

with the provisions of 40 CFR 194.8(b), 

as issued in a July 16, 2004, FR notice 

(Vol. 69, No. 136, pp. 42571–42583). 

IV. Availability of the Baseline 

Inspection Report for Public Comment 

EPA has placed the report discussing 

the results of the Agency’s inspection of 

BAPL–CCP in the public docket as 

described in ADDRESSES. In accordance 

with 40 CFR 194.8, EPA is providing the 

public 45 days to comment on these 

documents. The Agency requests 

comments on the proposed approval 

decision, as described in the inspection 

report. EPA will accept public comment 

on this notice and supplemental 

information as described in Section 1.B. 

above. EPA will not make a 

determination of compliance before the 

45-day comment period ends. At the 

end of the public comment period, EPA 

will evaluate all relevant public 

comments and revise the inspection 

report as necessary. If appropriate, the 

Agency will then issue a final approval 

letter and inspection report, both of 

which will be included in EPA’s public 

dockets. 

Information on the certification 

decision is filed in the official EPA Air 

Docket, Docket No. A–93–02 and is 

available for review in Washington, DC, 

and at the three EPA WIPP 

informational docket locations in 

Albuquerque, Carlsbad, and Santa Fe, 

New Mexico. The dockets in New 

Mexico contain only major items from 

the official Air Docket in Washington, 

DC, plus those documents added to the 

official Air Docket since the October 

1992 enactment of the WIPP LWA.

2-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3- 

propanediol (Tris Nitro); Notice of 

Receipt of Requests for Amendments 

To Terminate Uses; Notice of 

Withdrawal/Vacation of Order To 

Amend Registrations To Terminate 

Certain Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 

notice of receipt of requests for 

amendments by registrants to terminate 

uses in certain pesticide registrations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. Although this action may be 

of particular interest to persons who 

produce or use pesticides, the Agency 

has not attempted to describe all the 

specific entities that may be affected by 

this action. If you have any questions 

regarding the information in this notice, 

consult the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

B. How can I get copies of this document 

and other related information? 

EPA has established a docket for this 

action under docket ID number EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2009–0639. Publicly available 

docket materials are available either in 

the electronic docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, or, if only 

available in hard copy, at the Office of 

Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory 

Public Docket in Rm. S–4400, One 

Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. 

Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The hours of 

operation of this Docket Facility are 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The Docket Facility telephone 

number is (703) 305–5805. 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

This notice announces receipt by the 

Agency of requests for amendments 

from a registrant to terminate uses in 

certain pesticide registrations. These 

registrations are listed in Table 1 of this 

unit by registration number, product 

name, active ingredient, and specific 

uses requested to be terminated. 

In this Federal Register Notice, the 

Agency is also issuing a Notice of 

Withdrawal/Vacation of the ‘‘2- 

(Hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3- 

propanediol (tris nitro) Order to Amend 

Registrations to Terminate Certain Uses’’ 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 22, 2010 (75 FR 57780) 

(FRL–8843–4). In letters dated 

November 19, 2009, Dow Chemical 

Company requested to amend to 

terminate certain uses of its affected Tris 

Nitro pesticide product registrations. On 

June 23, 2010 (75 FR 35807) (FRL– 

8829–3), the Agency published a 

Federal Register Notice announcing 

receipt of the requests from the 

registrant to amend to terminate certain 

uses. After a 30-day comment period in 

which no comments were received, the 

Agency published the ‘‘2- 

(Hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3- 

propanediol (Tris Nitro); Order to 

Amend Registrations to Terminate 

Certain Uses’’ in the Federal Register on 

September 22, 2010. However, a letter 

from Dow Chemical Company dated 

February 25, 2010 requesting to 

officially withdraw the use termination 

requests was not processed in a timely 

manner; therefore, the September 22, 

2010 Order, which included all uses 

listed in Table 1 of this unit in addition 

to use in or on livestock and poultry 

premises, was issued in error. In this 

Federal Register notice, the September 

22, 2010 Order is being withdrawn/ 

vacated by the Agency.
