The Paperwork Reduction Act establishes a federal government-wide goal to reduce the recordkeeping and reporting burden on the states, the public, and the regulated community by 40 percent from a starting date of 1995 to September 2001. Written comments must be received by September 20, 1999. This notice announces receipt by the Agency of applications from registrants to delete uses on popcorn in three chlorpyrifos pesticide registrations. Therefore, the Agency is waiving the 180-day comment period normally given for the deletion of a minor use. It also advises consumers how to obtain electricity from green power marketers and utilities providing green pricing options.
Green power is generated by using renewable energy sources.
