Draft EISs

ERP No. D–AFS–J61093–MT Rating

EO2, Red Lodge Mountain Ski Area

Master Development Plan, Special-UsePermit Approval or Denial, Custer

National Forest, Beartooth Ranger

District, Carbon County, MT.

SUMMARY: EPA expressed environmental

objections regarding potential adverse

impacts associated with cumulative

impacts of dewatering, increased

erosion and sedimentation, and

increased wastewater pollutant loads to

Willow Creek. EPA believed that project

modifications to avoid dewatering of

streams should be developed. EPA is

also concerned about the adequacy of

the water quality and wetlands impact

assessment and believed that additional

information is needed to fully assess all

potential impacts of the management

actions.

ERP No. D–AFS–L65165–ID Rating

EO2, Sloan-Kennally Timber Sale,

Harvesting and Regenerating Timber

Stands, Implementation, Payette

National Forest, McCall Ranger District,

Valley County, ID.

SUMMARY: EPA expressed environmental

objections with the proposed action

based on the cumulative impacts of

additional nutrient and sediment

loading to waters which already exceed

water quality standards (303(d) listed)

in the Cascade Reservoir watershed.

ERP No. D–NPS–L61200–WA Rating

LO, Lake Chelan National Recreation

Area General Management Plan,

Implementation, Chelan County, WA.

the importance of the general

management plan remaining consistent

with the Total Maximum Daily Load for

phosphorus.

ERP No. D–NPS–L64043–WA Rating

LO, Elwha River Ecosystem Restoration,

Implementation, Olympic National

Park, Clallam County, WA.

SUMMARY: EPA supported the proposed

action to remove both the Elwha and the

Glines Canyon Dams and their

associated infrastructure. However EPA

recommended that the FEIS include a

detailed mitigation plan for wetlands

and that adequate monitoring of water

quality take place.

ERP No. D–USN–E11035–SC Rating

EC2, Charleston Naval Base Disposal

and Reuse, Implementation, Charleston

and Dorchester Counties, SC.

SUMMARY: EPA expressed environmental

concerns on the proposed Community

Reuse Plan based on a lack of a

sufficient wetland mitigation plan,

proposed community impacts due to an
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 1995 / Notices 3209

Receipt of Applications for Pesticide

Registration for Transgenic Plant

Pesticides

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has received applications

from Ciba-Geigy Corporation and

Mycogen Plant Sciences to register

transgenic plant pesticides. These will

make the third and fourth application

for registration of a transgenic plant

pesticide under section 3(c)(4) of the

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended,

in which a plant has been genetically

altered to produce a pesticide. Because

of its uniqueness the Agency has

determined that this application may be

of regional and national significance.

Therefore, in accordance with 40 CFR

172.11(a), the Agency is soliciting

public comments on this application.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted by February 13, 1995.

ADDRESSES: By mail submit comments

identified by the document control

number [OPP–30377] and the (File

Symbols 66736–R and 68467–R) to:

Public Response and Program Resources

Branch, Field Operations Division

(7506C), Office of Pesticide Programs,

Environmental Protection Agency, 401

M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. In

person, bring comments to: Rm. 1132,

Environmental Protection Agency, CM

#2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Highway,

Arlington, VA.

Information submitted in any

comment concerning this notice may be

claimed confidential by marking any

part or all of that information as

‘‘Confidential Business Information’’

(CBI). Information so marked will not be

disclosed except in accordance with

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

A copy of the comment that does not

contain CBI must be submitted for

inclusion in the public record.

Information not marked confidential

may be disclosed publicly by EPA

without prior notice to the submitter.

All written comments will be available

for public inspection in Rm. 1132 at the

address given above, from 8 a.m. to 4

p.m., Monday through Friday, except

legal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA

received applications from Ciba-Geigy

Corporation (Ciba Seeds), 3054

Cornwallis Road, P.O. Box 12257,

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 and

Mycogen Plants Sciences, 4980 Carroll

Canyon Road, San Diego, CA 92121 to

register the transgenic plant pesticide

B.t.k. CryIA(b) Insect Control Protein as

Produced in Corn and B.t.k. CrylA(b)

Insect Control Protein as Produced in

Corn (EPA File Symbols 66736–R and

68467–R) respectively, containing the

new active ingredient Bacillus

thuringiensis delta-endotoxin as

produced in corn by a cryIA(b) gene and

its controlling sequences as found on

plasmid vector pClB4431 0.0001 -

0.0018 percent of total plant protein.

The CryIA(b) plant pesticide protein

in corn plants is derived from transgenic

tranformation event 176, and is encoded

by a synthetic crylA(b) transgene and its

controlling sequences as found on

plasmid vector pClB4431. The CryIA(b)

protein produced in these plants is a

truncated form of the CrylA(b) protein

produced by Bacillus thuringiensis

subsp. kurstaki strain HD1. Corn plants

producing this protein are protected

against the European corn borer

(Ostrinia nubilalis) larvae.

When using the hybrid seed corn

containing cryIA(b) transgene,

additional insecticides should not be

appplied to the crop to control

European corn borer. These plants are

tolerant to glufosinate ammonium

herbicide and this herbicide is not

currently registered for use on corn.

Notice of approval or denial of an

application to register a pesticide

product will be announced in the

Federal Register. The procedure for

requesting data will be given in the

Federal Register if an application is

approved.

Comments received within the

specified time period will be considered

before a final decision is made;

comments received after the time

specified will be considered only to the

extent possible without delaying

processing of the application.

Written comments filed pursuant to

this notice, will be available in the

Public Response and Program Resources

Branch, Field Operations Division

(FOD) office at the address provided

from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through

Friday, except legal holidays. It is

suggested that persons interested in

reviewing the application file, telephone

the FOD office (703–305–5805), to

ensure that the file is available on the

date of intended visit.
