SSL R&D Investment Leads to Technology Commercialization The U.S. Department of Energy has made a long-term commitment to develop and support commercialization of SSL for general illumination, including sources, fixtures, electronics, and controls. In August 2005, President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005), the first national energy plan in more than a decade. Title IX (Research and Development) of the Energy Act directs the Secretary of Energy to carry out a Next Generation Lighting Initiative
(NGLI)to support research, development, demonstration, and commercial application activities for SSL. The Secretary is also directed to carry out research, development, demonstration, and commercial application activities through competitively selected awards. The EPACT 2005 authorizes $50 million to the NGLI for each fiscal year 2007 through 2009, with extended authorization to allocate $50 million for each of the fiscal years 2010 to 2013. The actual Congressional appropriation for the NGLI will not be determined until fiscal year 2007. This public R&D investment serves the ultimate goal to successfully commercialize the technologies in the buildings sector, where lighting accounts for more than 20 percent of total electricity use. Potential benefits are enormous if SSL technology achieves projected price and performance levels: • By 2025, SSL could displace general illumination light sources such as incandescent and fluorescent lamps, decreasing national energy consumption for lighting by about 0.45 quadrillion Btus (quads) annually, that is, enough energy saved to serve the lighting demand of 20 million households today. • The cumulative energy expenditure savings from 2005 to 2025 would translate into more than $25 billion dollars saved. • The cumulative energy savings from 2005 to 2025 is projected to be more than 1.5 quads. To realize the full promise of solid-state lighting by 2025, major research challenges must be addressed. To help tackle these challenges, DOE is funding selected R&D to improve energy efficiency and speed SSL technologies to market. Projects are selected to align with a comprehensive R&D plan developed in partnership with industry, research and academic organizations, and national laboratories. DOE has and will continue to maintain a focus on the ultimate goal of supporting commercialization of SSL technologies to decrease lighting energy use while improving and expanding lighting services. Unique attributes of SSL technologies underscore the importance of a long-term, coordinated approach encompassing applied research and strategic technology commercialization support. For most general illumination applications, current white lighting emitting diodes
(LEDs)cannot yet compete with traditional light sources on the basis of either performance or cost, but the technology is evolving rapidly. As a result of extensive R&D, the luminous efficacy of white LEDs has approximately doubled in the past three years. The timing and targeting of commercialization support efforts is as important to the ultimate success of SSL as current R&D investment. For this reason, DOE has created a comprehensive commercialization support plan, drawing on a variety of strategies to assist the market introduction of high-quality, energy-efficient SSL technologies. II. Commercialization Support Strategies DOE has a long-term vision for commercialization support of SSL technologies. Over the coming years, SSL technologies for general illumination will continue to improve and evolve, with luminous efficacy increasing and unit costs decreasing. Appropriate commercialization support strategies will be determined by the status of the technology relative to particular applications. Beginning in 2005, DOE initiated several activities as part of the long-term plan. A. Activities in Progress Partnership With Industry EPACT 2005 directs DOE to partner, through a competitive selection process, with an industry alliance that represents U.S. SSL research, development, infrastructure, and manufacturing expertise. DOE is directed to solicit alliance assistance in identifying SSL technology needs, assessing the progress of research activities, and updating SSL technology roadmaps. In fulfillment of this directive, DOE signed a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA)with the Next Generation Lighting Industry Alliance (NGLIA) in 2005. Among a number of activities in the MOA, DOE with the Alliance will create criteria for voluntary market conditioning programs, such as ENERGY STAR ® for SSL (see next item). Alliance members include the major US-based manufacturers of LEDs, organic LEDs, components, materials, and systems. ENERGY STAR® for SSL DOE has initiated development of ENERGY STAR criteria for white LED-based lighting products intended for general illumination purposes. DOE envisions a two-category criteria, with the first category (Category A) covering a limited number of general illumination niche applications for which white LED systems are appropriate in the near-term, and the second category (Category B) intended to cover a wide range of LED systems for general illumination. Category B will serve as the longer term target for the industry. Initial applications eligible under Category A will include those with the following characteristics:
(1)Appropriate for a light source with a directional beam, as opposed to a diffuse source;
(2)low to moderate illuminance requirement;
(3)illuminated task or surface relatively close to the light source; and
(4)potential for cost-effective use of LED-based products in the near term. Support for Standards Development Solid state lighting differs fundamentally from incandescent, fluorescent, and HID lighting technologies, in terms of materials, drivers, system architecture, controls, and photometric properties. A host of new or revised test procedures and industry standards is needed to accommodate these technical differences. DOE is engaged in ongoing dialogue with the relevant standards organizations, and is providing technical assistance in the development of new standards. LED Fixture Design Competition DOE is one of the organizing sponsors of Lighting for Tomorrow (LFT), along with the American Lighting Association and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency. LFT design competitions in 2004 and 2005 were successful in encouraging, recognizing, and publicizing excellent new designs for energy-efficient residential decorative light fixtures. LFT's 2006 program includes a new competition for LED products in specific general illumination niche applications. Working prototype fixtures will be evaluated by an expert judging panel which will select winners on the basis of lighting quality, energy efficiency, fixture design, and style. Outreach to Federal Programs As the largest single purchaser of lighting products in the nation, the federal government can play an important role in demonstrating new technologies. Recently, DOE has provided information to more than 30 federal agencies through presentations to the Federal Utility Partnership Working Group, the Interagency Energy Management Task Force, and the Federal Energy Efficiency Working Group. Technology Tracking and Information Services DOE continues to track performance improvement in SSL technology over time. DOE also maintains a database of available white LED-based niche lighting products available in the market. This information is used to support DOE efforts to provide general information about pricing and availability trends of LED products. Consumer and Business Awareness Programs DOE is developing informational materials on LED technology and products for a general consumer and business audience. Fact sheets are being disseminated widely. More fact sheets on a wide range of LED topics are in development. Additional information of use to consumers and businesses is available online via DOE's SSL Web site at *www.netl.doe.gov/ssl/.* B. Planned Activities In addition to the activities already underway, DOE is planning a range of other initiatives over the next five years that will support commercialization of SSL technologies and products. These include the following: Technology Procurements Technology procurement is an established process for encouraging market introduction of new products that meet certain performance criteria. DOE has employed this approach successfully with other lighting technologies, including sub-CFLs and reflector CFLs. DOE plans to employ technology procurement to encourage new SSL systems and products that meet established energy efficiency and performance criteria, and link these products to volume buyers and market influencers. Volume buyers may include the federal government (FEMP, DLA, GSA), utilities, or various sub-sectors including hospitals, lodging, or retail. Demonstration and Performance Verification DOE will develop valuable information from SSL installations in various field applications through demonstration and performance verification, including design and installation issues and measurement of energy consumption, light output, color quality, and interface/control issues. Technical Information Network Working with key organizations and companies already involved in providing technical information to the market on energy-efficient technologies (such as energy efficiency organizations, electric utilities, state energy offices, and energy consulting companies), DOE plans to establish a network through which SSL technical information can be efficiently distributed to the market. University and Professional Education Programs DOE will support development of training materials and curricula for design professionals, including interior designers, lighting designers, and architects. To support development of the next generation of engineers and designers who will implement SSL, DOE will also support development of teaching materials and related information on SSL technologies for universities.

E6-12388 Filed 8-1-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Western Area Power Administration Eastern Plains Transmission Project, Colorado and Kansas AGENCY: Western Area Power Administration, DOE. ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement; floodplain and wetlands involvement; and public scoping meetings. SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Western Area Power Administration (Western) intends to prepare an environmental impact statement
(EIS)for its proposal to participate with Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. (Tri-State), to construct the proposed Eastern Plains Transmission Project (Project). Western's participation with Tri-State would be in exchange for capacity rights on the transmission lines. These rights would provide Western with approximately 275 megawatts
(MW)of capacity on the proposed transmission system. Western needs this additional transmission capacity to provide more economical, reliable, diverse, and flexible power delivery to its customers. The EIS will address the construction, operation, and maintenance of approximately 1,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines and ancillary facilities. In addition, the EIS will address expansions of existing substations and construction of new substations, access roads, and fiber optic communication facilities. The EIS will be prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)and DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures. Because the Project could involve action in a floodplain, the EIS will address floodplain and wetlands impacts under DOE regulations for compliance with floodplain and wetlands environmental review. DATES: See Supplementary Information section for meeting dates and locations. The public scoping period will close September 30, 2006. ADDRESSES: Written comments, questions, and information on the scope of the Project may be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to Mr. Jim Hartman, Environmental Manager, Western Area Power Administration, Rocky Mountain Region, P.O. Box 3700, Loveland, CO 80539; fax

They include municipalities, cooperatives, public utility and irrigation districts, Federal and state agencies, and Native American tribes in 15 Western states, including Colorado and Kansas. Western currently lacks adequate transmission capability in southeastern Colorado to serve its customers directly. Western needs additional transmission system capacity to provide more economical, reliable, diverse, and flexible power delivery to its customers. The Project would provide Western with improved access to alternative resources and suppliers by expanding the capacity and geographic reach of the transmission system. It would increase Western's options for purchasing energy to meet contractual requirements. Enhancing and expanding transmission pathways would contribute to ensuring reliability of the Federal transmission system. Tri-State is a wholesale electric power supplier, owned by the 44 electric cooperatives it serves. Tri-State and the member utilities serve customers throughout Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Tri-State's board of directors approved a resource development plan, which includes generation in Kansas and Colorado and construction of a transmission system to deliver the generation to customers. The transmission portion of Tri-State's resource plan presents an opportunity for Western to obtain transmission capacity to meet Western's needs. Western will prepare the EIS according to NEPA requirements, including the Council on Environmental Quality's NEPA Implementing Regulations under 40 CFR parts 1500-1508 and DOE's NEPA Implementing Procedures under 10 CFR part 1021. Because the Project could involve construction activities in floodplains and wetlands, the EIS will include floodplain and wetland assessments and a statement of findings, following DOE regulations for compliance with floodplain and wetlands environmental review under 10 CFR part 1022. Proposed Action and Alternatives Western's proposed Project activities include construction planning and management for approximately 1,000 miles of high voltage transmission lines, and acquiring rights-of-way for transmission lines, access roads, and other facilities. In addition to the transmission lines and access roads, the Project includes four new substations; expansions of approximately eight existing substations; and installing a fiber optic communications system for the transmission lines. Preliminary locations of transmission line corridors and new substations have been identified and will be presented at the public scoping meetings. The EIS will evaluate the effects of constructing, operating, and maintaining approximately 750 miles of 500-kilovolt
(kV)transmission lines and approximately 250 miles of 230- or 345-kV transmission lines; constructing four new substations; expanding eight existing substations; installing a fiber-optic communication system for the transmission lines; and constructing and maintaining associated access roads. The Project study area includes part or all of the following counties in Colorado: Adams, Arapahoe, Bent, Cheyenne, Crowley, Elbert, El Paso, Kiowa, Kit Carson, Lincoln, Morgan, Otero, Prowers, Pueblo, Washington, and Yuma; and in Kansas: Finney, Greeley, Hamilton, Kearny, Logan, Scott, Sherman, Thomas, Wallace, and Wichita. Among the alternatives Western will address in the EIS is the no action alternative. Under the no action alternative, Western would not participate in the Project. The EIS will evaluate the environmental effects of constructing, operating, and maintaining the Project and compare them to existing conditions. Alternative transmission line routes and substation locations will be refined as part of the EIS scoping process and addressed in the EIS. Western will consider additional reasonable alternatives resulting from the scoping process. Reasonable alternatives would need to meet Western's purpose and need and be technically and economically viable. Connected and Cumulative Actions Western will evaluate connected and cumulative actions in the EIS. Connected actions are defined under 40 CFR 1508.25(a)(1) as, “* * * closely related * * * [that]
(i)Automatically trigger other actions which may require environmental impact statements;
(ii)Cannot or will not proceed unless other actions are taken previously or simultaneously; [or]
(iii)Are interdependent parts of a larger action and depend on the larger action for their justification.” Western has determined that connected actions for the Project include activities associated with the construction, maintenance, and operation of the proposed transmission line and ancillary facilities, including eight substation expansions, four new substations, associated access roads, and fiber optic communications facilities. Cumulative actions are defined in 40 CFR 1508.25(a)(2) as those, “* * * which when viewed with other proposed actions have cumulatively significant impacts. * * * ” Western has determined that cumulative actions for the Project include Tri-State's proposed generation projects as well as other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects. Identification of Environmental Issues Western invites interested agencies, Tribes, organizations, and members of the public to submit comments or suggestions to assist in identifying the appropriate scope of the EIS. The following list of potential environmental issues has preliminarily been identified for inclusion in the EIS. This list is designed to help the public frame its comments: 1. Effects on protected, threatened, endangered, or sensitive species of animals or plants; or their critical habitats; 2. Effects on other biological resources; 3. Effects on land use, recreation, and transportation; 4. Effects on floodplains and wetlands; 5. Effects on cultural or historic resources and Tribal values; 6. Effects on human health and safety (including military, civilian, and agricultural aviation safety); 7. Effects on air, soil, and water resources; 8. Effects on agricultural operations; 9. Effects on visual resources; and 10. Effects on socioeconomic resources and disproportionately high and adverse impacts on minority and low-income groups. This list is not intended to be all-inclusive or to imply predetermination of impacts. Western invites interested parties to suggest specific issues within these general categories or other issues not included above for consideration in the EIS. Scoping Process With this Notice of Intent, Western invites public participation in the EIS scoping process and solicits public comments to help establish the scope and content of the EIS. Scoping will allow Western to obtain information that will refine the preliminary Project alternatives; identify environmental issues to be considered in the EIS; and help eliminate, from detailed study, those alternatives and issues that are not feasible or relevant. To be assured consideration, all comments on the scope of the EIS must be received by the end of the scoping period. Meetings *The dates and meeting locations are:* 1.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
(i)Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
(ii)Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii)Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(iv)Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES . 7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and **Federal Register** citation. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to? *Affected entities:* Entities potentially affected by this action are Business or other for profit, Federal Government, and State, Local or Tribal Government. *Title:* Land Disposal Restrictions No-Migration Variances. *ICR numbers:* EPA ICR No. 1353.08, OMB Control No. 2050-0062. *ICR status:* This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the **Federal Register** when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the **Federal Register** or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. *Abstract:* To receive a variance from the hazardous waste land disposal prohibitions, owner/operators of hazardous waste storage or disposal facilities may petition the Environmental Protection Agency to allow land disposal of a specific restricted waste at a specific site. The EPA Regional Offices will review the petitions and determine if they successfully demonstrate “no migration.” The applicant must demonstrate that hazardous wastes can be managed safely in a particular land disposal unit, so that “no migration” of any hazardous constituents occurs from the unit for as long as the waste remains hazardous. If EPA grants the variance, the waste is no longer prohibited from land disposal in that particular unit. If the owner/operator fails to make this demonstration, or chooses not to petition for the variance, best demonstrated available technology
(BDAT)requirements of 40 CFR 268.40 must be met before the hazardous wastes are placed in a land disposal unit. *Burden Statement:* The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3,168 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: *Estimated total number of potential respondents:* 1. *Frequency of response:* On occasion. *Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:* 1. *Estimated total annual burden hours:* 3,168. *Estimated total annual costs:* $0, this includes an estimated burden cost of $0 for capital investment and/or maintenance and operational costs. What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another **Federal Register** notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . Dated: July 26, 2006.

Oral comments presented at the meetings should not be repetitive of previously submitted oral or written comments. Although requests to present oral comments are accepted until the date of the meeting (unless otherwise stated), to the extent that time permits, the Chair of the FIFRA SAP may permit the presentation of oral comments at the meeting by interested persons who have not previously requested time. However, each individual or group wishing to make brief oral comments to the FIFRA SAP is strongly advised to submit their request to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT no later than noon, eastern time, October 17, 2006, in order to be included on the meeting agenda. The request should identify the name of the individual making the presentation, the organization (if any) the individual will represent, and any requirements for audiovisual equipment, e.g., overhead projector, 35 mm projector, chalkboard. Oral comments before the FIFRA SAP are limited to approximately 5 minutes unless prior arrangements have been made. In addition, each speaker should bring 30 copies of his or her comments and presentation slides for distribution to the FIFRA SAP at the meeting. 2. *Written comments* . Although written comments are accepted until the date of the meeting (unless otherwise stated), the Agency encourages that written comments be submitted, using the instructions in ADDRESSES , no later than noon, eastern time, October 10, 2006, to provide the FIFRA SAP the time necessary to consider and review the written comments. It is requested that persons submitting comments directly to the docket also notify the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . Persons wishing to submit written comments at the meeting should bring 30 copies. There is no limit on the extent of written comments for consideration by the FIFRA SAP. 3. *Seating at the meeting* . Seating at the meeting will be on a first-come basis. Individuals requiring special accommodations at this meeting, including wheelchair access, should contact the DFO at least 10 business days prior to the meeting using the information under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT so that appropriate arrangements can be made. 4. *Request for nominations of prospective candidates for service as ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP for this meeting* . As part of a broader process for developing a pool of candidates for each meeting, the FIFRA SAP staff routinely solicit the stakeholder community for nominations of prospective candidates for service as ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP. Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals to be considered as prospective candidates for a specific meeting. Individuals nominated for the meeting announced in this notice should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: • Familiarity with western cotton production, • Knowledge of pink bollworm biology, • Knowledge of insect resistance management for Bt cotton (principles and applications), • Knowledge of pink bollworm eradication programs in western cotton, • Knowledge of population dynamics modeling. Sterile Insect Technology (SIT), • Resistance modeling, • Knowledge of statics. Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments on the issues for this meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, address, and telephone number. Nominations should be provided to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or before August 14, 2006. The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective candidates for this meeting that are received on or before this date. However, final selection of ad hoc members for this meeting is a discretionary function of the Agency. The selection of scientists to serve on the FIFRA SAP is based on the function of the panel and the expertise needed to address the Agency's charge to the panel. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to a Federal department or agency or their employment by a Federal department or agency (except EPA). Other factors considered during the selection process include availability of the potential panel member to fully participate in the panel's reviews, absence of any conflicts of interest or appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Though financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in disqualification, the absence of such concerns does not assure that a candidate will be selected to serve on the FIFRA SAP. Numerous qualified candidates are identified for each panel. Therefore, selection decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors including the candidates' areas of expertise and professional qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific perspectives on the panel. In order to have the collective breadth of experience needed to address the Agency's charge for this meeting, the Agency anticipates selecting approximately 10 ad hoc scientists. If a prospective candidate for service on the FIFRA SAP is considered for participation in a particular session, the candidate is subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. As such, the FIFRA SAP candidate is required to submit a Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government Employees Serving on Federal Advisory Committees at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Form 3110-48 5-02) which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate's employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. The EPA will evaluate the candidate's financial disclosure form to assess that there are no financial conflicts of interest, no appearance of lack of impartiality, and no prior involvement with the development of the documents under consideration (including previous scientific peer review) before the candidate is considered further for service on the FIFRA SAP. Those who are selected from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to attend the public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key issues and assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be asked to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the FIFRA SAP website or may be obtained by contacting the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at the address or telephone number listed under ADDRESSES . II. Background A. Purpose of the FIFRA SAP Amendments to FIFRA enacted November 28, 1975 (7 U.S.C. 136w(d)), include a requirement under section 25(d) of FIFRA that notices of intent to cancel or reclassify pesticide regulations pursuant to section 6(b) of FIFRA, as well as proposed and final forms of regulations pursuant to section 25(a) of FIFRA, be submitted to a SAP prior to being made public or issued to a registrant. In accordance with section 25(d) of FIFRA, the FIFRA SAP is to have an opportunity to comment on the health and environmental impact of such actions. The FIFRA SAP also shall make comments, evaluations, and recommendations for operating guidelines to improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses made by Agency scientists. Members are scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments as to the impact on health and the environment of regulatory actions under sections 6(b) and 25(a) of FIFRA. The Deputy Administrator appoints seven individuals to serve on the FIFRA SAP from nominations provided by the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Section 104 of FQPA (Public Law 104-170) established the FQPA Science Review Board (SRB). These scientists shall be available to the FIFRA SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews conducted by the FIFRA SAP. B. Public Meeting The FIFRA SAP will meet to consider and review the evaluation of the resistance risks from using 100% Bollgard and Bollgard II cotton as part of a pink bollworm eradication program in the state of Arizona. The State of Arizona issued two special local need registrations under FIFRA section 24(c) in March 2006 permitting the use of 100% Bollgard® and Bollgard II® cotton varieties along with sterile pink bollworm moths (i.e., sterile insect technology or SIT), pheromones, and limited use of chemical insecticides in a sanctioned pink bollworm
(PBW)eradication program. As a provision of these registrations, the State of Arizona agreed to provide the Agency with data to support the continued use of the FIFRA 24(c) registrations. These data will focus on addressing the uncertainties associated with the expected effectiveness of the PBW eradication program using sterile insect technology, 100% Bollgard and Bollgard II cotton, pheromones, and limited insecticide use. The Agency is concerned with the potential increased insect resistance that may be posed by the use of 100% Bollgard and Bollgard II cotton (i.e., no structured non-Bt cotton refuge, very high selection intensity) and whether the SIT can be used effectively to manage PBW resistance should it occur during the 4-year eradication program. The State of Arizona, in consultation with USDA and University experts, devised a plan that replaces the biological function served by non-Bt cotton refuges with artificially raised sterile pink bollworm moths. The Panel will be asked to comment on the Agency's review of the effectiveness of this plan using field level systematic monitoring and mapping data in conjunction with modeling simulations. C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting Minutes EPA's position paper, charge/questions to FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP composition (i.e., members and consultants for this meeting), and the meeting agenda will be available by the end of September 2006. In addition, the Agency may provide additional background documents as the materials become available. You may obtain electronic copies of these documents, and certain other related documents that might be available electronically, from the regulations.gov website and the FIFRA SAP homepage at *http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap.* The FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting minutes summarizing its recommendations to the Agency in approximately 90 days after the meeting. The meeting minutes will be posted on the FIFRA SAP website or may be obtained by contacting the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at the address or telephone number listed under ADDRESSES .

E6-12435 Filed 8-1-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-S ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0618; FRL-8082-5] Organophosphate Cumulative Risk Assessment; Notice of Availability AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's cumulative risk assessment for the organophosphate group of pesticides and opens a public comment period on this document and other support documents. As required by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), a cumulative risk assessment, which evaluates exposures based on a common mechanism of toxicity, was conducted to evaluate the risk from food, drinking water, residential, and other non-occupational exposures resulting from registered uses of organophosphate pesticides. The organophosphate group includes over 30 pesticides including acephate, azinphos-methyl (AZM), bensulide, chlorethoxyfos, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyriphos-methyl, diazinon, dichlorvos (DDVP), dicrotophos, dimethoate, disulfoton, ethoprop, fenamiphos, fenthion, fosthiazate, malathion, methamidophos, methidathion, methyl-parathion, mevinphos, naled, omethoate, oxydemeton-methyl, phorate, phosalone, phosmet, phostebupirim, pirimiphos-methyl, profenofos, terbufos, tetrachlorvinphos, tribufos, and trichlorfon. Several organophosphate pesticides, however, were not incorporated into the cumulative risk assessment because no dietary, drinking water, or residential human exposure to these pesticides is anticipated from any of the currently registered uses.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA is making available the completed cumulative risk assessment for the organophosphate pesticides. The Agency developed this risk assessment as part of its ongoing process for making pesticide reregistration eligibility and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the FQPA. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of the FFDCA directs the Agency to consider available information on the cumulative risk from substances sharing a common mechanism of toxicity. The Agency determined in 1999 that the organophosphate pesticides share a common mechanism of toxicity, cholinesterase inhibition. The organophosphates have been among EPA's highest priority pesticides for review under FQPA. In developing the organophosphate cumulative risk assessment and underlying methodologies, EPA consulted with the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel numerous times, seeking expert review, advice, and recommendations at each major step of the process. The Agency also met with several of its advisory committees to obtain input from a broad spectrum of stakeholders representing the pesticide industry, environmental and public interest groups, growers, academia, and others, including other federal and state regulatory agencies. EPA issued the Preliminary Organophosphate Cumulative Risk Assessment for public comment in December 2001, and presented the cumulative assessment at a Technical Briefing for the public in January 2002. The Agency released the Revised Organophosphate Cumulative Risk Assessment for public comment in June 2002. The Organophosphate Cumulative Risk Assessment (2006 update) is considered an addendum to the June 2002 assessment, and includes improvements and refinements in assessing the cumulative risks of the organophosphate pesticides. The previous versions of the Organophosphate Cumulative Assessment may be accessed on the EPA website at *http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative* . EPA has concluded that the cumulative risks associated with the remaining uses of the organophosphate pesticides are below the Agency's level of concern. While completing reregistration eligibility and tolerance reassessment decisions for individual organophosphates, the Agency also evaluated the cumulative risk posed by this group. Although individual risk assessments were conducted for each of the organophosphate pesticides, several were not incorporated into the cumulative risk assessment because no dietary, drinking water, or residential human exposure is anticipated from any of the currently registered uses of these pesticides. The Interim Reregistration Eligibility Decisions (IREDs) previously issued for a number of organophosphate pesticides are now considered final; the tolerance reassessment and reregistration eligibility process for these pesticides is complete. EPA has determined that the remaining/reassessed tolerances for these pesticides meet the FFDCA safety standard and that no further risk mitigation is necessary as a result of the organophosphate cumulative risk assessment. EPA is providing an opportunity, through this notice, for interested parties to provide comments and input on the Agency's completed cumulative risk assessment for the organophosphates. Such comments and input could address the Agency's risk assessment methodologies and assumptions as applied to this cumulative assessment. The Agency will consider all comments received, and make changes, if appropriate, to the organophosphate cumulative risk assessment. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical, unusually high exposure to organophosphate pesticides, compared to the general population. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. The organophosphate pesticides have had extensive opportunities for public comment as part of their reregistration and tolerance reassessment process. Comments should be limited to issues raised within the organophosphate cumulative risk assessment and associated documents. Failure to comment on any such issues as part of this opportunity will not limit a commenter's opportunity to participate in any later notice and comment processes on this matter. All comments should be submitted using the methods in **ADDRESSES** , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments will become part of the Agency Docket for the organophosphate cumulative risk assessment. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA, as amended, requires the Administrator to make “a determination as to the eligibility for reregistration
(i)for all active ingredients subject to reregistration under this section for which tolerances or exemptions from tolerances are required under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 *et seq* .), not later than the last date for tolerance reassessment established under section 408(q)(1)(C) of that Act (21 U.S.C. 346a((q)(1)(C))...” Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) of (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006. A tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2), respectively, if “the Administrator determines the pesticide chemical residue is safe,” i.e., “that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information.” 21 U.S.C. 346a(b)(2)(A), and (c)(2)(A). In making this safety finding, FFDCA requires the Administrator to consider, among other factors, “available information concerning the cumulative effects of such residues and other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity...” 21 U.S.C. 346a(b)(2)(D)(v), and (c)(2)(B).

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background EPA has reassessed the uses of sodium cyanide, reassessed the one existing tolerance or legal residue limit established for residues of the insecticide hydrogen cyanide as a result of application of sodium cyanide, and on July 13, 2006, reached a tolerance reassessment decision for this pesticide. Sodium cyanide is used as a predacide/rodenticide and as an insecticide. As a predacide/rodenticide, it is used as a single dose poison in the M-44 ejector device to control animals that prey upon livestock and threatened or endangered species or that are vectors of communicable disease. The eligibility of the predacide/rodenticide use was determined in the September 1994 Reregistration Eligibility Decision document
(RED)published in the **Federal Register** on January 25, 1995 (60 FR 4910) (FRL-4391-9). As an insecticide, sodium cyanide is used in California to control red scale on fresh market citrus bound for Arizona. It is applied by professional applicators as a post-harvest fumigant. Although a TRED typically does not include an occupational assessment, the decision document addresses potential occupational exposures that were not addressed in the 1994 RED. The Agency is now issuing for comment the resulting Report on Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA)Tolerance Reassessment Progress and Risk Management Decision for sodium cyanide, known as a TRED, as well as related risk assessments and technical support documents. EPA developed the sodium cyanide TRED through a modified, streamlined version of its public process for making tolerance reassessment and reregistration eligibility decisions. Through these programs, the Agency is ensuring that pesticides meet current standards under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended by FQPA. EPA must review tolerances and tolerance exemptions that were in effect when FQPA was enacted, to ensure that these existing pesticide residue limits for food and feed commodities meet the safety standard established by the new law. Tolerances are considered reassessed once the safety finding has been made or a revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed and made the requisite safety finding for the sodium cyanide tolerances included in this notice. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** of May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. EPA can expeditiously reach decisions for pesticides like sodium cyanide, which pose no risk concerns, and require no risk mitigation. Once EPA assesses uses and risks for such low risk pesticides, the Agency may go directly to a decision and prepare a document summarizing its findings, such as the sodium cyanide TRED. The tolerance reassessment program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public in finding ways to effectively mitigate pesticide risks. Sodium cyanide, however, poses no risks that require mitigation. The Agency therefore is issuing the sodium cyanide TRED, its risk assessments, and related support documents simultaneously for public comment. The comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the TRED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for sodium cyanide. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. EPA will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the TRED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the decisions reflected in the TRED will be implemented as presented. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA has reassessed risks associated with use of the boric acid/sodium borate salts pesticides, reassessed 5 existing tolerances or legal residue limits, and on July 13, 2006, reached a tolerance reassessment and risk management decision. Boric acid and sodium borate salts are used as algaecides, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides. Boric acid and sodium borate salts are frequently used for control of insects such as ants or roaches by application in non-agricultural food and feed areas. Other uses include use in animal housing, wood structures, forests, sewage systems, transportation and storage facilities, medical/veterinary institutions, uncultivated agricultural/nonagricultural areas, refuse/solid waste sites, swimming pool algae control, ornamental lawns and turf, paved areas and aquatic structures. The Agency is now issuing for comment a Report on Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA)Tolerance Reassessment Progress and Risk Management Decision for boric acid/sodium borate salts, known as a TRED, as well as related technical support documents. EPA must review tolerances and tolerance exemptions that were in effect when FQPA was enacted in August 1996, to ensure that these existing pesticide residue limits for food and feed commodities meet the safety standard established by the new law. Tolerances are considered reassessed once the safety finding has been made or a revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed and made the requisite safety finding for the boric acid/sodium borate salts tolerances included in this notice. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, boric acid/sodium borate salts was reviewed through the modified 4-Phase public participation process. Through this process, EPA worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory decisions for boric acid/sodium borate salts. The tolerance reassessment program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the boric acid/sodium borate salts TRED for public comment. This comment period is intended to provide an additional opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the TRED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in **ADDRESSES** , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for boric acid/sodium borate salts. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments. The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the TRED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the tolerance reassessment decisions reflected in this TRED will be implemented as presented. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA.

What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA has completed an addendum to the RED for the pesticide lindane under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Products containing lindane are not eligible for reregistration. The Agency has received requests from all lindane technical and end-product registrants to voluntarily cancel all registrations of lindane products. Once the cancellation process is complete, EPA will take steps to revoke the existing tolerances pursuant to section 408(l)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other “appropriate regulatory action.” Section 408(q) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision
(RED)for the pesticide, PCNB under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. PCNB is an organochlorine fungicide used to control plant diseases on vegetables (predominantly green beans and cole crops), field crops (cotton, potatoes, and peanuts), and seeds (seed treatments of barley, beans, corn, cotton, oats, peas, peanut, rice, safflower, sorghum, soybean, sugar beet, and wheat). EPA has determined that the data base to support reregistration is substantially complete and that products containing PCNB are eligible or not eligible for reregistration depending on their specific uses. Most uses of PCNB have been found to be ineligible for reregistration. These uses are: turf, residential ornamentals, cole crops (unless registered for control of clubroot only), green beans, cotton, potatoes, dry beans and peas, garlic, peanuts, tomatoes, peppers, and ornamentals in commercial production (except for flowering bulbs). The following uses of PCNB are eligible for reregistration provided the risk mitigation measures noted in the RED are implemented and product labels are amended accordingly: cole crops (registered for control of clubroot only), ornamental bulbs for commercial production, and seed treatments of PCNB. Upon submission of any required product specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary changes to the registration and labeling (either to address concerns identified in the RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA will make a final reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) for products containing PCNB. EPA must review tolerances and tolerance exemptions that were in effect when the Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA)was enacted in August 1996, to ensure that these existing pesticide residue limits for food and feed commodities meet the safety standard established by the new law. Tolerances are considered reassessed once the safety finding has been made or a revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed and made the requisite safety finding for the PCNB tolerances included in this notice. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the **Federal Register** on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 26819)(FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, PCNB was reviewed through the full 6-Phase process. Through this process, EPA worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory decisions for PCNB. The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the PCNB RED for public comment. This comment period is intended to provide an additional opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating any necessary amendments to the RED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for PCNB. Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked “late.” EPA is not required to consider these late comments.In particular, during the 60-day comment period following the publication of this Notice, the Agency is soliciting comments on the benefits associated with several minor uses of PCNB. The Agency has based its reregistration eligibility decision for most uses of PCNB on an evaluation of the risk-benefit relationships for those uses. The Agency is soliciting information on benefits for specific minor uses of PCNB in order to confirm that the Agency's reregistration decisions for these uses are supported by an accurate understanding of their risk-benefit relationships, and to determine if amendments should be made to this eligibility decision based on comments which inform these risk-benefit evaluations. The specific kinds of benefits information that the Agency believes will be helpful in this regard and the specific uses for which the Agency is soliciting such information are discussed below.The use sites of PCNB for which the Agency is soliciting information on benefits at this time are: dry beans and peas, peanuts, tomatoes, peppers (all types), and ornamentals in commercial production (all types except for flowering bulbs). The types of information that the Agency believes could be useful in informing the risk-benefit evaluations for these uses include data from comparative efficacy trials for different pesticides used to control diseases on these sites, information about the relative costs of using PCNB and potential alternatives, production cost data, information on why registered alternatives are not appropriate for specific diseases in a particular State or under particular climatic conditions, and documentation of the lack of alternatives for controlling a particular disease. The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the PCNB RED will be implemented as it is now presented. B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products or taking other appropriate regulatory action. Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Since the amendments of October 1988, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) has required payment of an annual maintenance fee to keep pesticide registrations in effect. The fee that was due January 15, 2006 has gone unpaid for 720 registrations. Section 4(i)(5)(G) of FIFRA provides that the Administrator may cancel these registrations by order and without a hearing; orders to cancel all 720 of these registrations have been issued within the past few days.

II. Introduction Section4(i)(5) of FIFRA as amended in October 1988 (Public Law 100-532), December, 1991 (Public Law 102-237), and again in August 1996 (Public Law 104-170), requires that all pesticide registrants pay an annual registration maintenance fee, due by January 15 of each year, to keep their registrations in effect. This requirement applies to all registrations granted under section 3 as well as those granted under section 24(c) to meet special local needs. Registrations for which the fee is not paid are subject to cancellation by order and without a hearing. The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act Amendments of 1991, Public Law 102-237, amended FIFRA to allow the Administrator to reduce or waive maintenance fees for minor agricultural use pesticides when he determines that the fee would be likely to cause significant impact on the availability of the pesticide for the use. The Agency has waived the fee for 177 minor agricultural use registrations at the request of the registrants. In fiscal year 2006, maintenance fees were collected in one billing cycle. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act
(PRIA)was passed by Congress in January 2004. PRIA became effective in March 2004 and authorized the Agency to collect $27 million in maintenance fees in fiscal year 2006. In late December 2005, all holders of either section 3 registrations or section 24(c) registrations were sent lists of their active registrations, along with forms and instructions for responding. They were asked to identify which of their registrations they wished to maintain in effect, and to calculate and remit the appropriate maintenance fees. Most responses were received by the statutory deadline of January 15. A notice of intent to cancel was sent in mid-February to companies who did not respond and to companies who responded, but paid for less than all of their registrations. Since mailing the notices, EPA has maintained a toll-free inquiry number through which the questions of affected registrants have been answered. Maintenance fees have been paid for about 15,590 section 3 registrations, or about 96 percent of the registrations on file in December. Fees have been paid for about 2,181 section 24(c) registrations, or about 84 percent of the total on file in December. Cancellations for non-payment of the maintenance fee affect about 451 section 3 registrations and about 269 section 24(c) registrations. The cancellation orders generally permit registrants to continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of the canceled products until January 15, 2007, one year after the date on which the fee was due. Existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users, however, can generally be distributed, sold or used legally until they are exhausted. Existing stocks are defined as those stocks of a registered pesticide product which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, labeled and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the action. These general provisions for disposition of stocks should serve in most cases to cushion the impact of these cancellations while the market adjusts. The exceptions to these general rules are cases where more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products have already been imposed through special reviews or other Agency actions. III. Listing of Registrations Canceled for Non-payment Table 1 lists all of the section 24(c) registrations, and Table 2 lists all of the section 3 registrations which were canceled for non-payment of the 2006 maintenance fee. These registrations have been canceled by order and without hearing. Cancellation orders were sent to affected registrants via certified mail in the past several days. The Agency is unlikely to rescind cancellation of any particular registration unless the cancellation resulted from Agency error.

Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Nissan), 7-1, 3-Chome, Kanda-Nishiki-Cho Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo, 101-0054 Japan, proposes to establish a tolerance for residues of the herbicide quizalofop-P-ethyl in or on barley, flax (seed), and wheat at 0.05 parts per million (ppm); and sunflower
(seed)at 2.0 ppm. The analytical method used to collect sunflower and flax field and processing data involves refluxing samples with methanolic potassium hydroxide to convert quizalofop-P-ethyl and quizalofop-P residues to 2-methoxy-6-chloroquinoxaline (MeCHQ). The solution is then acidified and partitioned with hexane to extract the MeCHQ. The hexane fraction is cleaned up by gel permeation chromatography. The appropriate fraction is collected, concentrated and made up to final volume with hexane. Residues are quantified using normal phase high pressure liquid chromatography
(HPLC)with fluorescence detection. The limit of quantitation of the method is 0.05 ppm. The analytical method used to collect wheat and barley field and processing data is similar to the method used for flax and sunflower, but has a few modifications. The modified method requires a silica solid phase extraction
(SPE)purification for wheat and barley hay and straw matrices prior to gel permeation chromatography
(GPC)cleanup. The determination and quantitation of the MeCHQ is conducted using reverse-phase HPLC with the fluorescence detection. The limit of quantitation of the method is still 0.05 ppm.

(OMB)after this 60 day comment period as an extension (no change in requirements) in order to obtain the full three year clearance from them. The information collected will be used by the Commission to determine if the applicant is legally, technically, and financially qualified to participate in a FCC auction. In addition, if the applicant applies for status as a particular type of auction participant pursuant to the Commission's rules, the Commission will use the information to determine if the applicant is eligible for the status requested. The Commission's auction rules and requirements are designed to ensure that the competitive bidding process is limited to serious qualified applicants; to deter possible abuse of the bidding and licensing process; and to enhance the use of competitive bidding to assign Commission licenses in furtherance of the public interest. The Commission needs to use the additional information to ensure that only legitimate small businesses reap the benefits of the Commission's designated entity program. Over the last decade, the Commission has engaged in numerous rulemakings and adjudicatory investigations to prevent companies from circumventing the objectives of the designated entity eligibility rules. If an applicant applies for status as a particular type of auction participant pursuant to Commission rules, the Commission uses the information in determining whether the applicant is eligible for the status requested. The Commission plans to use FCC Form 175 for all upcoming auctions. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.

Section 43.43 establishes the reporting requirements for depreciation prescription purposes. Communication common carriers with annual operating revenues of $121 million or more that the Commission has found to be dominant must file information specified in Section 43.43 before making any change in the depreciation rates applicable to their operating plant. In the Report and Order released in December 1999, the Commission adopted the following requirements: —Carriers are required to file four summary exhibits, along with the underlying data used to generate them, and must provide the depreciation factors ( *i.e.* , life, salvage, curve shape, depreciation reserve) required to verify the calculation of the carriers' depreciation reserve. This is the minimum amount of data needed to maintain oversight of carriers' depreciation expenses and rates. —Mid-sized carriers are no longer required to file theoretical reserve studies. —Certain price cap incumbent LECs in certain instances may request a waiver of the depreciation prescription process. A waiver may be approved when an incumbent LEC, voluntarily, in conjunction with its request for waiver:
(1)Adjusts the net book costs on its regulatory books to the level currently reflected in its financial books by a below-the-line write-off;
(2)uses the same depreciation factors and rates for both regulatory and financial accounting purposes;
(3)forgoes the opportunity to seek recovery of the write-off through a low-end adjustment, an exogenous adjustment, or an above-cap filing; and
(4)agrees to submit information concerning its depreciation accounts, including forecast additions and retirements for major network accounts and replacement plans for digital central offices. The waiver request must comply with section 1.3 of the Commission's rules. The Commission will consider alternative proposals by carriers seeking a waiver of our depreciation requirements. Such alternative proposals, however, must provide the same protections to guard against adverse impacts on consumers and competition as the conditions adopted in the Order provides. Carriers who obtain a waiver of the depreciation process submit certain information about network retirement patterns and modernization plans related to their plant accounts so that we can maintain realistic ranges of depreciable life and salvage factors for each of the major plant accounts. The information that carriers will be required to submit include: forecast additions and retirements for major network accounts; replacement plans for digital central offices; and information concerning relative investments in fiber and copper cable. The information filed is used by the Commission to establish proper depreciation rates to be charged by carriers, pursuant to Section 220(b) of the Act. Without this information, the validity of the carriers' depreciation policies could not be ascertained. *OMB Control No.:* 3060-0233. *Title:* Part 36—Separations. *Form No.:* N/A. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit. *Number of Respondents:* 1,804. *Estimated Time Per Response:* 22 hours per response for annual and quarterly loop cost filings. Five hours per response for quarterly line count data filings. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion, quarterly, and annual reporting requirements and third party disclosure requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 58,418 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* N/A. *Privacy Act Impact Assessment:* N/A. *Needs and Uses:* The Commission is submitting this information collection to OMB as an extension (no change in public reporting requirements) in order to obtain the full three-year clearance from them. In order to determine which carriers are entitled to universal service support, all (both non-rural and rural) incumbent local exchange carriers
(LECs)must provide the National Exchange Carrier Association
(NECA)with the loop cost and loop count data required by 47 CFR 36.611 for each of its study areas and, if applicable, for each wire center as that term is defined in 47 CFR Part 54. Loops are the telephone lines running from the carriers' switching facilities to the customer. The loop cost and loop count information is to be filed annually with NECA by July 31st of each year, and may be updated quarterly pursuant to 47 CFR 36.612. Pursuant to section 36.613, the information filed on July 31st of each year will be used to calculate universal service support for each study area and is filed by NECA with the Commission on October 1 of each year. An incumbent LEC is defined as a carrier that meets the definition of “incumbent local exchange carrier” in section 51.5 of the Commission's rules. Section 36.612(a) also requires non-rural carriers to file loop counts (no loop cost data) on a quarterly basis. The Commission requires that non-rural carriers submit quarterly loop counts in order to ensure that universal service fund
(USF)support for non-rural carriers is accurately calculated when competitive eligible telecommunication carriers
(ETCs)are present in the incumbent LECs' operating areas. Quarterly loop cost and loop count data filings are voluntary for rural carriers. When a competitive ETC, however, is operating in an incumbent rural carrier's territory, the incumbent rural carrier is required to submit quarterly loop count data. Quarterly filings of loop counts are necessary because if an incumbent rural carrier does not update its loop count data more often than annually, but its competitor does, the competitor's more recent data may include loops captured from the incumbent since the incumbent's last filing. Thus, the incumbent would continue to receive support based on an overstated number of loops. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *OMB Control Number:* 3060-0055. *Title:* Application for Cable Television Relay Service Station License. *Form Number:* FCC Form 327. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents:* Business or other for-profit entities; Not-for-profit institutions. *Number of Respondents:* 400. *Estimated Time per Response:* 3 hours. *Frequency of Response:* On occasion reporting requirement; Every five years reporting requirement. *Total Annual Burden:* 1,266 hours. *Total Annual Cost:* $88,000. *Privacy Impact Assessment:* No impact(s). *Needs and Uses:* FCC Form 327 is the application for a Cable Television Relay Service
(CARS)microwave radio license. Franchised cable systems and other eligible services use the 2, 7, 12 and 18 GHz CARS bands for microwave relays pursuant to Part 78 of the Commission's Rules. CARS is principally a video transmission service used for intermediate links in a distribution network. CARS stations relay signals for and supply program material to cable television systems and other eligible entities using point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transmissions. These relay stations enable cable systems and other CARS licensees to transmit television broadcast and low power television and related audio signals, AM and FM broadcast stations, and cablecasting from one point (e.g., on one side of a river or mountain) to another point (e.g., the other side of the river or mountain) or many points (“multipoint”) via microwave. The filing is done for an initial license, for modification of an existing license, for transfer or assignment of an existing license, and for renewal of a license after five years from initial issuance or from renewal of a license. Filing is done in accordance with Sections 78.11 to 78.40 of the Commission's Rules. The form consists of multiple schedules and exhibits, depending on the specific action for which it is filed. Initial applications are the most complete and renewal applications are the most brief. The data collected is used by Commission staff to determine whether grant of a license is in accordance with Commission requirements on eligibility, permissible use, efficient use of spectrum, and prevention of interference to existing stations.
