4826 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 12 / Thursday, January 18, 2001 / Notices

StarLinkTM corn or that corn in the

required 660 foot buffer may only be

sold or used for domestic animal feed or

industrial non-food uses and cannot be

sold for planting. No StarLinkTM seed

corn may be sold or distributed. Because

of significant concerns regarding the

potential for StarLinkTM corn to enter

the human food stream of commerce,

the U.S. Department of Agriculture has

undertaken an incentive program to

ensure that all StarLinkTM corn

currently on the farm is either fed to

livestock on the farm, or is directed only

to domestic animal feed or industrial

non-food uses.

This existing stocks disposition does

not prohibit growers from using existing

stocks of StarLinkTM grain as animal

feed. Nor will feeding animals

StarLinkTM corn render meat or milk

derived from such animals adulterated.

The existing tolerance exemption for the

Cry9C protein and the genetic material

necessary for its production, found at 40

CFR 180.1192, is not revoked by this

Notice.

Implementation Guidance for

Radionuclides

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice, request for comments on

the draft radionuclides implementation

guidance.

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

published the final National Primary

Drinking Water Regulation for

Radionuclides on December 7, 2000, in

the Federal Register (65 FR 76708). The

EPA has also prepared the Draft

Implementation Guidance for the

Radionuclides Rule. This Notice is

announcing the availability of this draft

document and asking for comments

from stakeholders and the public. These

comments will be considered in

developing the Final Implementation

Guidance document. The EPA

encourages the full participation of all

stakeholders and the public throughout

this process.

The Draft Implementation Guidance

for the Radionuclides Rule is a

comprehensive reference to assist States

in implementing the Rule. The draft

guidance was developed based on the

Final Rule, with input and review from

EPA Headquarters and Regional staff,

and comments from States and the

public on a previous version of the

document. Along with summaries of the

Rule and implementation timelines, the

document contains: A detailed

explanation of the rule requirements;

guidance for violation determinations,

and significant non-compliance

definitions; Safe Drinking Water

Information (SDWIS) reporting

requirements; guidance for State

primacy revision applications, and

special primacy requirements; and a

series of ‘‘stand-alone’’ fact sheet

guidance materials for States and Public

Water Systems. The guidance document

describes the new standards for

uranium, as well as the revisions to the

radionuclides monitoring framework.

The Appendices to the document

provide further information and tools to

assist States and EPA Regional Offices

with primacy revisions and Rule

implementation, including: Violation

tables to assist with compliance

determination; a sample Extension

Agreement between EPA and the States

to document how implementation

responsibilities will be shared if States

do not submit a primacy applications by

the deadline; a primacy revision

crosswalk; a ‘‘stand-alone’’ State

reporting guidance; rule training

materials; and beta and photon emitter

conversion tables.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before March 30, 2001.
