(Eastern Time) and November 4, 2010, 

from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The teleconferences will be 

conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

general information concerning this 

public teleconference should contact 

Ms. Iris Goodman, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory 

Board (1400F), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., 

NW., Washington, DC 20460; via 

telephone/voice mail: (202) 564–2164; 

fax: (202) 565–2098; or e-mail at 

goodman.iris@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EPA Science 

Advisory Board can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

sab. 

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 original 

signature, 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.

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 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.

Notice of Tentative Approval and 

Solicitation of Request for a Public 

Hearing for Public Water System 

Supervision Program Revision for the 

Commonwealth of Virginia 

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.
