EPA intends to grant this request at the close of the comment period for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the comment period that would merit its further review of the request, or unless the registrant withdraws its request within this period. Upon acceptance of this request, any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the final order.

Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Terminate Certain Uses of its Chloroneb Products This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from registrant Kincaid Inc. (See Table 2 of this unit.) to voluntarily terminate certain uses of four chloroneb product registrations. Chloroneb is a fungicide currently registered for use as a pre-plant seed treatment for cotton; sugarbeets, soy beans, and beans and as well as on commercial turf and ornamentals. In a letter dated February 7, 2007, Kincaid Inc. requested that EPA terminate certain uses of choroneb. The pesticide product registrations covering these uses are identified in this notice in Table 1 of this unit. Kincaid Inc. requests voluntary termination of chloroneb's use on all seed treatments. Specifically, Kincaid requests termination of seed treatment use on beans (including cowpeas) cotton, lupine, soybeans, and sugar beets. III. What Action is the Agency Taking? This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from a registrant to terminate certain uses of chloroneb product registrations. The affected products and the registrants making the request are identified in Tables 1 of this unit. Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless: 1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or 2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment. The chloroneb registrant has requested that EPA waive the 180-day comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the proposed request. Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of publication of this notice, or if the Agency determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an order will be issued terminating the affected registrations. **Table 1.—Chloroneb Product Registrations with Pending Request For Termination of Certain Uses** Registration No. Product name Company 73782-1 Chloroneb Fungicide Technical Kincaid Inc. 73782-2 Demosan 85W Kincaid Inc. 73782-3 Terraneb SP Turf Fungicide Kincaid Inc 73782-4 K.E. Chloroneb Systemic Flowable Fungicide Kincaid Inc. Table 2 of this unit includes the name and address of record for the registrant of the products listed in Table 1 of this unit. **Table 2.—Registrant Requesting Voluntary Termination of Certain Uses** EPA Company No. Company name and address 73782 Kincaid Inc. P.O. Box 490 Athens, TN 37371 IV. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the **Federal Register** . Thereafter, following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such a request. V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for Reregistration of Chloroneb Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT , postmarked before June 25, 2007. This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If the products(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are controlling. VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products which are currently in the United States and which were packaged, labeled, and released for shipment. In any order issued in response to this request for termination of certain uses, the Agency proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the products identified or referenced in Table 1: If the request for voluntary termination of certain uses is granted as discussed above, the Agency intends to issue a cancellation order that will allow the registrant to sell and distribute such existing stocks for one year from the date of this use termination request and allow persons other than the registrant to continue to sell and/or use existing stocks of cancelled products until such stocks are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled product. The order will specifically prohibit any use of existing stocks that is not consistent with such previously approved labeling. If, as the Agency currently intends, the final cancellation order contains the existing stocks provision just described, the order will be sent only to the affected registrants of the cancelled products. If the Agency determines that the final cancellation order should contain existing stocks provisions different than the ones just described, the Agency will publish the cancellation order in the **Federal Register** .

(202)566-0507; e-mail address: *dodahara.hiroshi@epa.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. General Information A. Does this Action Apply to Me? Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to: • Department of the Army (NAICS code 928110). • Residents or homeowners located near the affected incinerators. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining whether this action might apply to certain entities. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA? 1. *Submitting CBI* . Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 2. *Tips for preparing your comments* . When submitting comments, remember to: i. 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

(RCRA)permits as well as the existing PCB approval. These RCRA permits impose several of the same operating conditions as are required by the current TSCA approval. Thus, in order to coordinate the requirements of the two programs, EPA does not plan to include the duplicative conditions in the renewed TCSA approval. EPA intends for the renewal to only retain the operating conditions from the current TSCA approval that are more stringent than those provided in the RCRA permits. These more stringent conditions, combined with the condition that the facilities maintain valid RCRA permits, will ensure proper disposal of PCBs in compliance with TSCA. For example, EPA plans to retain a target value for the secondary combustor operating temperature based on conditions during the trial burn. In addition, the carbon monoxide concentration in the flue gas that triggers the automatic waste feed cutoff (AWFCO) would be 100 parts per million based on real time, with a 5-minute delay. C. Availability of Trial Burn Data This action also announces the availability of trial burn data from PBCDF and UMCDF. The current approval required certain sampling for PCBs at each DFS unit: 1. Stack sampling for PCBs. 2. Sampling of kiln/HDC (heated discharge conveyor) residue. 3. Cyclone residue. 4. Scrubber brine for PCB analysis. The purpose of the trial burns was to demonstrate whether the DFS units meet the PCB incinerator performance standards. These results showed that the standards were met, and the data are now available. D. Approval Modification Condition 1.d.(3) of the existing approval, provides that: “EPA will hold a public meeting in each community after the trial burn data in each respective facility becomes available.” (A copy of Condition 1.d.(3) is available in the docket for this document.) Effective at the time of publication of this notice, EPA is hereby modifying the existing approval to remove that condition for the remainder of the approval. Meetings were conducted before and after-trial-burn data became available at ANCDF and TOCDF, but participation was very limited at the post-trial-burn meetings. No members of the public appeared at meetings previously held at PBCDF and UMCDF. Based on the lack of public participation, EPA is changing the public participation process to include a broader audience and a 15-day opportunity for comment. Trial burn data will be available to the public through the docket and in lieu of conducting additional public meetings at PBCDF and UMCDF, EPA is allowing for the submission of comments, in written or electronic format.

You may access this **Federal Register** document electronically through the EPA Internet under the “ **Federal Register** ” listings at *http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr* . II. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? Section 5(h)(1) of TSCA and 40 CFR part 725, subpart F authorizes EPA to exempt persons from Microbial Commercial Activity Notification

(MCAN)requirements and permit them to manufacture or import new microorganisms for test marketing purposes, if the Agency finds that the manufacture, processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the microorganisms for test marketing purposes will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. EPA may impose restrictions on test marketing activities and may modify or revoke a test marketing exemption upon receipt of new information which casts significant doubt on its finding that the test marketing activity will not present an unreasonable risk of injury. III. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA has approved the above-referenced TME. EPA has determined that test marketing the new microorganism, under the conditions set out in the TME application and in this notice, will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. IV. What Restrictions Apply to this TME? The test market time period, production volume, and use must not exceed specifications in the application and this notice. All other conditions and restrictions described in the application and in this notice must also be met. Impacts to the environment must also be managed as described in the TME as amended. *TME-06-09* . *Date of Receipt* : September 14, 2006. *Notice of Receipt* : October 13, 2006 (71 FR 60517) (FRL-8099-3). *Applicant* : Confidential. *Microorganism* : Organic acid producing organism. *Use* : Industrial manufacture of an organic acid. *Production Volume* : Confidential. *Number of Customers* : Confidential. *Test Marketing Period* : Duration as specified in TME application, commencing on first day of commercial manufacture. The following additional restrictions apply to this TME. A bill of lading accompanying each shipment must state that the use of the microorganism is restricted to that approved in the TME. In addition, the applicant shall maintain the following records until 5 years after the date they are created, and shall make them available for inspection or copying in accordance with section 11 of TSCA: 1. Records of the quantity of the TME microorganism produced and the date of manufacture. 2. Records of dates of the shipments to each customer and the quantities supplied in each shipment. 3. Copies of the bill of lading that accompanies each shipment of the TME microorganism. V. What was EPA's Risk Assessment for this TME? Under the conditions required for this TME, EPA identified no significant health or environmental concerns for the test market microorganism. Therefore, the test market activities will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment. VI. Can EPA Change Its Decision on this TME in the Future? Yes. The Agency reserves the right to rescind approval or modify the conditions and restrictions of an exemption should any new information that comes to its attention cast significant doubt on its finding that the test marketing activities will not present any unreasonable risk of injury to human health or the environment.

[FR Doc. E7-10067 Filed 5-24-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-S ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL-8318-4] Underground Injection Control Program Petition for Exemption From Hazardous Waste Disposal Restrictions to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Class I Hazardous Waste Injection Occidental Chemical Corporation, Wichita, KS AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of final decision on petition. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an exemption to the land disposal restrictions under the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act has been granted to Occidental Chemical Corporation (Occidental) for a Class I injection well, identified as Well Number 10, located at Wichita, Kansas. This injection well, is being added to an existing group of five hazardous waste injection wells which EPA had approved in 1990. As required by title 40 Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR)part 148, Occidental has adequately demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Environmental Protection Agency by petition and supporting documentation that, to a reasonable degree of certainty, there will be no migration of hazardous waste out of the designated injection zone for as long as the waste remains hazardous. This time frame is defined by 40 CFR 148.20 as 10,000 years. This final decision allows the underground injection by Occidental of the specific restricted waste, identified in the petition, into injection well Number 10 at the Wichita, Kansas facility, for as long as the basis for granting an approval of the petition remains valid, under provisions of 40 CFR 148.24. For the purpose of the required demonstration of no-migration of hazardous waste out of the injection zone over a 10,000 year period, modeling and projections were based on an operational lifetime projection date of December 31, 2020. Therefore, on or by the closing date of the aforementioned operation period, the owner/operator will be required to obtain an exemption re-issuance from EPA. Included in this approval is the stipulation that Occidental acquires and continues to maintain an approved permit from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. As required by 40 CFR 124.10, a public notice was issued on February 26, 2007. In addition to having solicited written comments regarding the Agency's proposed approval, EPA also announced that a formal public hearing would be held if there was a significant degree of public interest, but no interest was expressed, hence no formal public hearing was conducted; however, EPA held an informal Public Availability Session on March 13, 2007, at the Sedgwick County Extension Office in Wichita, Kansas, in order to provide the public with an opportunity to meet with Federal, State, and company officials and ask questions regarding the petition. The public comment period ended on April 11, 2007. All comments were addressed and considered in the final decision. This decision constitutes final Agency action and there is no administrative appeal process that can be applied to a final petition decision. DATES: *Effective Date:* This action is effective as of *May 2, 2007* . ADDRESSES: Copies of the petition and all pertinent information relating thereto, including the Agency's response to comments, are on file at the following location: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7, Regional Records Center, 901 N. 5th St., Kansas City, KS 66101.
