26434 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 17, 1995 / Notices

confirm, approve, and place into effect on a

final basis, to remand, or to disapprove such

rates to the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC). Existing the Department

of Energy (DOE) procedures for public

participation in rate adjustments (10 CFR

Part 903) became effective on September 18,

1985 (50 FR 37837). This rate extension is

issued pursuant to the Delegation Order and

the rate extension procedures in 10 CFR Part

903. FERC is not required to confirm and

approve this rate extension by reason of 10

CFR Part 903.23(b), which states that existing

rates may be extended on a temporary basis

by the Deputy Secretary.

Background

Pursuant to Delegation Order No. 0204–

108, FERC, in the order issued July 14, 1993,

in Docket No. EF93–4151–000, confirmed

and approved Rate Schedule INT–FT1 for

firm transmission service and INT–NFT1 for

nonfirm transmission service in the AC

Intertie administered by Western’s Phoenix

Area Office (PAO). The step one and step two

rates were approved for the period from

August 1, 1993, through July 31, 1998.

Discussion

On July 14, 1993, the Acting Assistant

Secretary of Energy for Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy of DOE, approved the

existing rates on an interim basis for firm and

nonfirm transmission service. The existing

step one and step two rates for firm and

nonfirm transmission service were placed in

effect on August 1, 1993. Step one of the firm

transmission service rate was approved to be

in effect through September 30, 1995, and

step two of the existing rates was to become

effective on October 1, 1995, and continue

through July 31, 1998. The FERC confirmed

and approved the rates on a final basis for

both firm and nonfirm transmission service

on March 24, 1994.

During the last AC Intertie rate adjustment

process (WAPA–56), the Colorado River

Commission of Nevada, the Arizona Power

Authority, the Arizona Subcontractor Group,

the Arizona Power Pooling Association, Inc.,

and Salt River Project Agricultural

Improvement and Power District filed

Motions to Intervene and Protest FERC’s

confirmation and approval of the AC Intertie

rates described in Rate Order No. WAPA–56,

in Docket No. EF93–4191–000. On December

28, 1993, Western filed a Stipulation

Agreement signed by Western and these

customers in which the intervenors withdrew

their protests and Western agreed to reexamine the issues raised as well as

commence a new rate adjustment process

during fiscal year 1995.

Western proposes to extend the existing

step one AC Intertie transmission service

rates until October 1, 1996. Western is

investigating different rate design alternatives

since two new transmission line segments

will be energized on January 1, 1996.

Western needs additional time for resolution

of these issues along with current customer

issues. Even though it is anticipated that the

firm transmission service rate adjustment

will be placed in effect by December 31,

1995, the extension of the existing step one

AC Intertie firm and nonfirm transmission

service rates is through March 1, 1996, to

allow for flexibility in the upcoming rate

adjustment process. During this time,

Western will be holding a series of public

meetings with AC Intertie customers.

Order

In view of the foregoing and pursuant to

the authority delegated to me by the

Secretary, I hereby confirm and approve for

a period effective October 1, 1995, until

October 1, 1996, the existing step one Rate

Schedules INT–FT1 and INT–NFT1 for firm

and nonfirm transmission service over the

AC Intertie transmission system.

Issued in Washington, DC, April 28, 1995.

Bill White,

Deputy Secretary.

AGENCY

[PP 3G4263/T672; FRL 4948–7]

Fipronil; Establishment of a Temporary

Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has established a

temporary tolerance for the combined

residues of the insecticide fipronil and

its metabolites in or on the raw

agricultural commodity field corn grain

at 0.02 part per million (ppm).

DATES: This temporary tolerance expires

March 28, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By

mail: Richard Keigwin, Product

Manager (PM) 10, Registration Division

(7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs,

Environmental Protection Agency, 401

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RhonePoulenc AG Company, P.O. Box 12014,

2 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research

Triangle Park, N.C. 27709, has requested

in pesticide petition (PP) 3G4263, the

establishment of a temporary tolerance

for the combined residues of the

insecticide fipronil (5-amino-3-cyano-1-

(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-

4-trifluoromethylsulphinyl pyrazole or

its metabolites MB 46136 5-amino-3-

cyano-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-

trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-

trifluoromethylsulphonyl pyrazole or

MB 45950 5-amino-3-cyano-1-(2,6-

dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-

trifluoromethylthiopyrazole in or on the

raw agricultural commodity field corn

grain at 0.02 part per million (ppm).

This temporary tolerance will permit

the marketing of the above raw

agricultural commodity when treated in

accordance with the provisions of the

experimental use permit 264–EUP–95,

which is being issued under the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act (FIFRA), as amended (Pub. L. 95–

396, 92 Stat. 819; 7 U.S.C. 136).

The scientific data reported and other

relevant material were evaluated, and it

was determined that establishment of

the temporary tolerance will protect the

public health. Therefore, the temporary

tolerance has been established on the

condition that the pesticide be used in

accordance with the experimental use

permit and with the following

provisions:

1. The total amount of the active

ingredient to be used must not exceed

the quantity authorized by the

experimental use permit.

2. Rhone-Poulenc AG Co., must

immediately notify the EPA of any

findings from the experimental use that

have a bearing on safety. The company

must also keep records of production,

distribution, and performance and on

request make the records available to

any authorized officer or employee of

the EPA or the Food and Drug

Administration.

This tolerance expires March 28,

1996. Residues not in excess of this

amounts remaining in or on the raw

agricultural commodity after this

expiration date will not be considered

actionable if the pesticide is legally

applied during the term of, and in

accordance with, the provisions of the

experimental use permit and temporary

tolerance. This tolerance may be

revoked if the experimental use permit

is revoked or if any experience with or

scientific data on this pesticide indicate

that such revocation is necessary to

protect the public health.

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this notice from the

requirement of section 3 of Executive

Order 12866.

Pursuant to the requirements of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96–

354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601–612),

the Administrator has determined that

regulations establishing new tolerances

or raising tolerance levels or

establishing exemptions from tolerance

requirements do not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. A certification

statement to this effect was published in

the Federal Register of May 4, 1981 (46

FR 24950).
