CFR Correction

In title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 60 (Sec. 60.1 to End), revised as of July 1, 2005, on page 167, in Sec. 60.41c, correct the definition of ``Annual capacity factor'' to read as follows:
Sec. 60.41c Definitions.

* * * * *

Annual capacity factor means the ratio between the actual heat input to a steam generating unit from an individual fuel or combination of fuels during a period of 12 consecutive calendar months and the potential heat input to the steam generating unit from all fuels had the steam generating unit been operated for 8,760 hours during that 12 month period at the maximum design heat input capacity. In the case of steam generating units that are rented or leased, the actual heat input shall be determined based on the combined heat input from all operations of the affected facility during a period of 12 consecutive calendar months.

Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emission Guidelines for Existing Sources: Other Solid Waste

Fri, Dec 16 2005 11:00:00 GMT

EPA is promulgating new source performance standards (NSPS) and emission guidelines for new and existing ``other'' solid waste incineration units (OSWI). The final rules for OSWI units fulfill the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), which require EPA to promulgate NSPS and emission guidelines for solid waste incineration units. The final rules, which address only the incineration of nonhazardous solid wastes, will protect public health by reducing exposure to air pollution.

(Cloquintocet-mexyl); Pesticide Tolerance

Fri, Dec 16 2005 11:00:00 GMT

EPA is granting in part, and denying in part, pesticide petition PP 4E6831 submitted by Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. that requested certain amendments to 40 CFR 180.560 for acetic acid [(5 chloro8quinolinyl) oxy], 1methylhexyl ester; cloquintocetmexyl; CAS Reg. No. 99607702] and its acid metabolite (5chloro8
quinolinoxyacetic acid). EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3) in the Federal Register of June 2, 2004 (69 FR 31116) (FRL73578) announcing the filing of this petition requesting that the tolerance expressions under Sec. 180.560 for wheat forage and hay be increased, the addition of tolerances for barley commodities (grain, hay, and straw), and the inclusion of a reference to the active ingredient pinoxaden. Although EPA finds it is safe to add a reference to pinoxaden and tolerances for barley (grain, hay, and straw) to this tolerance regulation, EPA does not agree that grounds exist to increase the tolerance expressions for wheat forage and hay.

Bifenazate; Pesticide Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions

Fri, Dec 16 2005 11:00:00 GMT

This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for combined residues of bifenazate in or on tart cherries and soybeans. This action is in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of the pesticide on tart cherries and soybeans. This regulation establishes maximum permissible levels for residues of bifenazate in these food commodities. The tolerance will expire and is revoked on December 31, 2009.

TSCA Inventory Update Reporting Partially Exempted Chemicals List Addition of Certain Aluminum Alkyl Chemicals

Fri, Dec 16 2005 11:00:00 GMT

EPA is taking direct final action to amend the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 8(a) Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) regulations by adding 10 aluminum alkyl chemicals to the list of chemical substances in Sec. 710.46(b)(2)(iv) which are exempt from reporting processing and use information required by Sec. 710.52(c)(4). EPA has determined that the IUR processing and use information for these chemicals is of low current interest. Manufacturers and importers of the chemicals listed in Sec. 710.46(b)(2)(iv) must continue to report manufacturing information.
