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. Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the requests, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any request in the Federal Register . 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. The Final Order dated September 22, 2010 was issued in error and EPA is withdrawing/vacating that Order.

**DATES :**  The terminations are effective July 8, 2011, unless the Agency receives a written withdrawal request on or before July 8, 2011. The Agency will consider a withdrawal request postmarked no later than July 8, 2011.

Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites being terminated should contact the applicable registrant on or before July 8,
2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit your withdrawal request, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– OPP–2009–0639, by one of the following methods:

• Mail: Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket (7502P), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me?

This action is directed to the public in general.

. 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.
