**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The SAB was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on the technical basis for Agency positions and regulations. The SAB is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App 2. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby given that the augmented SAB Ecological Processes
and Effects Committee will hold two public teleconferences to discuss their preliminary advice.

Background: The augmented SAB Ecological Processes and Effects Committee held a face-to-face meeting on July 29 and 30, 2010 to receive EPA briefings and to initiate its review of EPA’s Office of Water’s white paper that summarized performance data for selected existing ballast water technologies (75 FR 37793–3779400, June 30, 2010). Specifically, the
Committee has been asked to evaluate: (1) The performance of shipboard ballast water treatment processes, based on available effluent testing data; (2) the potential for future improved performance of shipboard ballast water treatment systems; and (3) how to develop reliable information to use in
future assessments of ballast water treatment technologies and systems. The purpose of these teleconferences is to discuss the preliminary advice of the Committee’s subgroups addressing these issues. Background information on this advisory activity is available on the SAB
Web site at http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr

_activites/ BW%20discharge?OpenDocument.

Availability of Meeting Materials: The agendas and other materials in support of the teleconferences will be placed on
the SAB Web site at http:// www.epa.gov/sab in advance of each
teleconference.

Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for consideration by EPA’s federal advisory committees and panels has a different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices. Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the public can submit comments for a federal advisory committee to consider as it develops advice for EPA. Interested members of the public may submit
relevant written or oral information for the SAB to consider on the topics included in this advisory activity. Oral

Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public teleconference will be limited to three minutes per speaker,
with no more than a total of one-half hour for all speakers. Each person making an oral statement should consider providing written comments so that the points presented orally can be expanded upon in writing. Interested
individuals should contact Ms. Goodman, DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail) at the contact information noted above by October 20, 2010, to be placed on a list of public speakers for the for the October 26, 2010
teleconference. Written Statements: Written statements for the October 26, 2010 teleconference should be supplied
to the DFO via email at the contact information noted above, by October 20, 2010, so that the information may be
made available to the SAB Committee
members for their consideration and placed on the SAB Web site for public
information. Written statements should be supplied to the DFO in the following formats: one hard copy with originalsignature, and one electronic copy via email (acceptable file format: Adobe Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). Submitters are asked to provide versions
of each document submitted with and without signatures, because the SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with signatures on its Web sites.

Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with disabilities, please contact Ms. Iris Goodman at (202) 564–2164 or goodman.iris@epa.gov. To request accommodation of a disability, please contact Ms. Goodman, preferably at least 10 days prior to the meeting, to give EPA as much time as possible to process your request.

Dated: September 30, 2010. Anthony F. Maciorowski, Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.

. B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

EPA has established a docket for this action under docket identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0092. 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.

In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of FIFRA, a copy of the approved label, the list of data references, the data and other scientific information used to support registration, except for material specifically protected by section 10 of FIFRA, are also available for public inspection. Requests for data must be made in accordance with the provisions
of the Freedom of Information Act and
must be addressed to the Freedom of Information Office (A–101), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001. Such requests should: Identify the product name and registration number and specify the data
or information desired.

A paper copy of the fact sheet, which provides more detail on this registration, may be obtained from the
National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161.

II. Did EPA conditionally approve the application?

A conditional registration may be granted under section 3(c)(7)(C) of FIFRA for a new active ingredient where certain data are lacking, on condition that such data are received by the end of the conditional registration period
and do not meet or exceed the risk criteria set forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that use of the pesticide during the conditional registration period will not cause unreasonable adverse effects; and that use of the pesticide is in the public interest. The Agency has considered the
available data on the risks associated with the proposed use of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), and information on social, economic, and environmental benefits to be derived from such use. Specifically, the Agency has considered the nature and its pattern of use, application methods and rates, and level and extent of potential exposure. Based on these reviews, the Agency was able to make basic health and safety
determinations which show that use of DMDS during the period of conditional registration will not cause any
unreasonable adverse effect on the environment, and that use of the pesticide is in the public interest.

Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C) of FIFRA, the Agency has determined that these conditional registrations are in the public interest. Use of the pesticides are of significance to the user community, and appropriate labeling, use directions,
and other measures have been taken to ensure that use of the pesticides will not
result in unreasonable adverse effects to
man and the environment.

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice of tentative approval and Solicitation of Requests for a Public Hearing.

**SUMMARY :**  Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, and the requirements governing the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation, 40 CFR Part 142, that the Commonwealth of Virginia is revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. The Commonwealth has adopted the Arsenic Rule which will provide for better public health protection by lowering the maximum contaminant level (MCL) from 0.05 to 0.010 mg/L and by demonstrating monitoring compliance for new systems or sources of drinking
water. EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations. EPA is taking action to tentatively approve these program revisions. All interested parties are invited to submit written
comments on this determination and may request a public hearing.

**DATES :**  Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by November 8, 2010. This determination shall become effective on November 8, 2010 if no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not elect on his own to hold a hearing, and if no
comments are received which cause EPA to modify its tentative approval.
