Gulf South contends that as part of its strategy to meet TCEQ's requirement, Gulf South has chosen to permanently abandon four compressor units at Refugio and one compressor unit at Edna instead of retrofitting the stations with expensive emissions reducing equipment. Gulf South avers that it would be able to meet all of its firm transportation obligations without these facilities and meet TCEQ requirements for the reduction of NO <sup>x</sup> emissions in a cost effective manner. Gulf South asserts that no interruption, reduction, or termination of natural gas service would occur as a result of the proposed abandonment.

To comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency and its national emission standards for hazardous pollutants for stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines under the provisions of Code 40 of the Federal Regulation Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ on June 15, 2004, Southern proposes to abandon six essentially standby Toca Engines. In addition, Southern submits that, by abandoning these engines, it would avoid approximately $368,000 per year in maintenance expenses and would also avoid approximately $3,000,000 to bring the engines up to code. Furthermore, Southern states that it is capable of meeting the existing gas supplies in the area without the Toca Engines. Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: Complete its environmental assessment

Wildorado Wind, LLC (Wildorado) filed an application for market-based rate authority, with an accompanying rate schedule. The proposed market-based rate schedule provides for the sale of energy and capacity at market-based rates. Wildorado also requested waivers of various Commission regulations. In particular, Wildorado requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability by Wildorado. On January 31, 2007, pursuant to delegated authority, the Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development—West, granted the requests for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order also stated that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the **Federal Register** establishing a period of time for the filing of protests. Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest the blanket approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of liability by Wildorado should file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214 (2004). Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to intervene or protest is March 2, 2007. Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above, Wildorado is authorized to issue securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a guarantor, endorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of another person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes of Wildorado, compatible with the public interest, and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes. The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by continued approvals of Wildorado's issuance of securities or assumptions of liability. Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's Web site at *http://www.ferc.gov* , using the eLibrary link.

This notice is extending the comment period on EPA's notice of availability of human health and environmental fate and effects risk assessments and related documents for the fumigant, chloropicrin. The notice of availability was published in the **Federal Register** on November 29, 2006. The comment period for the notice of availability ended on January 29, 2007. Subsequently, EPA extended the comment period until February 23, 2007 (72 FR 3130, January 24, 2007). However, EPA had intended to give a full 90 days for those interested in commenting on these documents. Therefore, EPA is extending the comment period for an additional 5 days to allow for the full 90-day comment period. The comment period now ends on February 28, 2007. III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (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. Further provisions are made to allow a public comment period. However, the Administrator may extend the comment period, if additional time for comment is requested.

Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information subject heading, **Federal Register** date and page number. ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)part or section number. iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/or data that you used. v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced. vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives. vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? In 2005, EPA issued a RED for ethofumesate under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Subsequent to publication of this RED, the technical registrant submitted additional data to further refine ethofumesate use and exposure scenarios. After receiving an acceptable dermal absorption study from Bayer CropScience, the Agency refined the existing dermal absorption assumption of 100% in the RED to 27%. Using the 27% dermal absorption assumption from the new study, the Agency recalculated the re-entry intervals
(REIs)and as a result will lower the prohibition for sod harvesting at maximum application rate from 16 days to 3 days and will no longer require a re-entry interval of 9 days for turf maintenance workers. The Agency has also updated the existing ethofumesate docket with additional memoranda addressing how the Agency refined the existing RED using the dermal absorption study. The docket also includes response to comments memoranda. All comments should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES , and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date. Comments and proposals will become part of the Agency Docket for ethofumesate. 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 RED in the **Federal Register** . In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the ethofumesate 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. This review was completed on August 3, 2006. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests. Dated: January 30, 2007.

Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, **Federal Register** date and page number). ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR)part or section number. iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/or data that you used. v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced. vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives. vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. The Oregon Department of Agriculture has requested the Administrator to issue a specific exemption for the use of quinoclamine on greenhouse ornamentals to control liverwort. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request. As part of this request, the Applicant asserts that liverwort infestations are becoming more severe in Oregon, resulting in crop losses and difficulty for many operations to grow their crop successfully. Entire crops can be rejected due to suspicion that liverwort spores are infesting the crop. There are currently no chemical controls registered for this use, and the Applicant asserts that quinoclamine can reliably remove liverwort and its propagules from a containerized plant. Economic losses can occur due to the following: 1. The excessive costs for hand weeding, 2. Failure of plants to grow or thrive, and 3. Losses from reduced quality or outright rejection of crops sold from one nursery to another. The Applicant states that significant economic losses will be suffered without the requested use. The Applicant proposes to make no more than 4 applications of quinoclamine, on up to 600 acres of greenhouse area in the state of Oregon. The use would potentially occur year-round, and a total of up to 65,400 lbs. of formulated product (16,350 lb. active ingredient) could be used under this exemption, if authorized. This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific exemption proposing use of a new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) which has not been registered by the EPA. The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application. The Agency, will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific exemption requested by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
