<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Dear Mr. Topham,</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Quemetco, Inc., located in Indianapolis, a subsidiary of RSR
Corporation, is 1 of 3 company owned smelters located in CA, IN, and NY, has
several items of concern regarding the new rule that it wants to bring up to
see if EPA was aware of and if so, if they are planning on a formal response
prior to the end of 2013. We hope the agency’s (EPA and/or State Environmental
agencies) don’t see one of more of these items listed below as noncompliance
issues depending upon how the agency views our compliance response to satisfy
the rule.  If we have a conflict on any one item, we want to know that now
in order to take steps before the Jan. 6, 2014 effectiveness date to avoid the
appearance of noncompliance.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Those items are:</p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri'><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span></span><![endif]>The negative pressure transducer
sensitivity/accuracy of 0.0005 inches of water is not achievable.  There
is no transducer being made that we are aware of that will meet this
requirement.  We have a manufacturer that has a transducer that we are
told meets 0.005 inches of water accuracy.  Our 3 smelters are currently
pursuing installing the best available transducer before years end.<span
style='color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:red'>We are working towards
finishing a direct final rulemaking to address achievability concerns raised by
the industry with respect to the accuracy requirements for differential
pressure monitors.</span><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri'><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span></span><![endif]>Back in 2010, EPA required smelters to conduct
ICR stack testing that included hydrocarbon and/or Dioxin/Furan testing of
various lead emitting sources.  Quemetco is hopeful that some or all of
that testing on furnace exhaust streams may be used instead of conducting new
THC and/or D/F testing to meet the requirements that take effect 6 months from
Jan. 6, 2014.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:red'>Facilities
will need to conduct new performance tests within six months of the Jan. 6,
2014 compliance date.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri'><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span></span><![endif]>In lieu of installing a continuous Temperature
CMS as required in the rule, our 3 smelters hope to use a temperature probe
that is already positioned in the furnace exhaust that is associated with a SO2
and/or NOx CEMs since it should meet all the CMS requirements.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:red'>Does the
existing temperature probe differ from the temperature monitoring required in
the 2012 final rule? If it meets the requirements in 63.548(j), you should be
good to go.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Please let me know if EPA is going to formally provide
clarification to any of the above items and/or any other regulatory issues that
are involved with the new rule before the end of this year.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Your prompt response is appreciated since time is of the
essence.  Call me if you have any questions or comments regarding these
items. </p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Sincerely,</p>

Request for Additional Information and Risk Management Suggestions for
the

Reregistration of Chlorflurenol

Phase 3 Public Comment Period

October 25, 2006

	 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a
Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for chlorflurenol, an
herbicide and plant growth regulator, through a 4-phase public
participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in
developing pesticide reregistration decisions.  During Phase 3 of the
process, the Agency seeks public comment on all elements of the
Agency’s risk assessments and supporting documents.  The Agency is
particularly seeking use and usage information, data refinement, and
risk management ideas or proposals to address the risks identified in
the Agency’s risk assessments.

Chlorflurenol is a nonfood use herbicide, plant growth retardant, and
plant growth regulator used in agricultural, commercial, and residential
settings.  As an herbicide or plant growth retardant, it is used for the
postemergent control of annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, trees, shrubs
and vines for nonagricultural rights-of-way (i.e., utility lines),
lawns, ornamental turf (including golf courses and parks), and high
density forestry management areas.  As a plant growth regulator,
chlorflurenol is used in the production of pineapple planting material
(sliplets); this use is considered to be nonfood as no finite residues
are expected.

For the uses of chlorflurenol being considered for reregistration, the
Agency is seeking answers to the following questions:

Use and Usage

A complete analysis of the current labeling and available use
information for chlorflurenol was not possible due to lack of
information regarding the frequency of application and the number of
applications per season. What are the typical application intervals and
the number of applications per season for each use pattern?

How many pounds of chlorflurenol active ingredient are applied to each
use site per year?

How important is chlorflurenol to pineapple growers for pineapple
propagation?

Chlorflurenol Alternatives

What other pesticides or treatments can be used commercially to control
pests that are controlled by chlorflurenol?

What other pesticides or treatments can be used commercially to produce
planting material for pineapples?

Human Health Exposure and Risk Estimates of Concern

A complete discussion of human health exposures and risks from
registered uses of chlorflurenol is presented in the Chlorflurenol
Methyl Ester: HED Chapter of the Reregistration Eligibility Decision
Document (RED) dated July 10, 2006.

No increased fetal susceptibility was observed in chlorflurenol prenatal
studies with rats and rabbits.  However, a 1973 three-generation
reproduction study showed equivocal litter size and pup weight decrement
at birth and subfertility in adult offspring, but showed a poor dose
response.  Due to these ambiguous findings in the reproduction study, an
additional uncertainty factor of 3X was used when calculating human oral
risk.

No chlorflurenol dermal absorption studies were available for use in the
risk assessment.  This resulted in the assumption of 100% dermal
absorption from an oral study endpoint for use in assessing dermal
exposure.

Are there any additional reproduction studies for chlorflurenol that may
help refine the human health risk assessment?

 Are there any dermal absorption studies for chlorflurenol that may help
assess dermal exposure?

Human health risks of concern associated with the use of chlorflurenol
are:

1) occupational dermal risks from applying liquid sprays with
rights-of-way equipment to the following use sites:

to turf growing in culverts, rights of way, median strips, ditches,
and/or under security fences at the 3 lb a.i./A rate;

to non-agricultural rights-of-ways/fence rows and hedge rows at the 3 lb
a.i./A rate;

to gymnosperms and hardwoods at the 5 lb a.i./A rate;

to shrubs, shade trees and vines at the 4.5 lb a.i./A rate; and

to high density forestry management at the 4.0 lb a.i./A rate.

Risks remain a concern at maximum personal protective equipment and no
engineering controls are available for rights-of-way application
equipment;

2) residential postapplication dermal risks for adults at 3 lbs a.i./A;

3) residential postapplication risks to toddlers from high contact
activity on lawns at the 1.0/1.1 lb a.i./A and 3.0 lb a.i./A application
rates;

4) residential risks to infants from chronic exposure to drinking water
using modeled ground water estimated concentrations.  The assessment for
ground water showed that the highest estimated exposure was 176% of the
chronic RfD for non-nursing infants and 142% of the chronic RfD for all
infants (< 1 year);

5) potential postapplication exposure to golf course workers.  For golf
course turf at the 1.0 and 1.1 lb a.i./A rates for sprays and granular
applications respectively and assuming 100% dermal absorption, risks are
not a concern for hand weeding and transplanting tasks at day 4 for
liquid formulations and at day 5 for granular formulations.  Using the
3.0 lb a.i./A rates for sprays and granular applications and assuming
100% dermal absorption, risks are not a concern for hand weeding and
transplanting tasks at day 14 and for mowing at day 8.

Are there any additional data with which to assess the potential
occupational and residential dermal risks associated with the use of
chlorflurenol?

Are there any additional data with which to refine potential drinking
water risks from potential contamination of ground water?

Are the above reentry intervals (REIs) for golf course workers
acceptable for hand weeding, transplanting and mowing activities?

What risk management ideas or proposals might address the above risks?

Environmental Fate

A complete discussion of environmental fate and ecological exposures and
risks from registered uses of chlorflurenol is presented in the
Environmental Fate and Ecological Risk Assessment for Chlorflurenol
Methyl Ester, dated June 30, 2006.

The environmental persistence of chlorflurenol is difficult to determine
with any certainty due to the limited number of studies available and
the deficiencies within these studies.  Based on these limited data,
chlorflurenol appears to be highly to very highly mobile in soil and
hydrolytically stable at pH 6.

Are there any additional data with which to assess the environmental
persistence of chlorflurenol?

Potential Risk to Nontarget Organisms

There is a great amount of uncertainty in the potential for risk to
non-target organisms, particularly freshwater and estuarine/marine fish
and invertebrates, and non-target plants, due to lack of data with which
to conduct a risk assessment.  Limited data suggest potential chronic
risk to mammals for species that feed on short grass, tall grass, and
broadleaf plants/small insects.

Are there any additional data with which to assess the risks to
nontarget organisms from the use of chlorflurenol?

What risk management ideas or proposals might address potential chronic
risks to mammals?

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project Nos. 14540-000 and 14539-000]

Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency, Lock+TM
Hydro Friends Fund III, LLC; Notice of Competing Preliminary Permit
Applications Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 23, 2013, Western Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (Western
Minnesota) and Lock+TM Hydro Friends Fund III, LLC (Hydro
Friends) filed preliminary permit applications, pursuant to section
4(f) of the Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of a
hydropower project at the existing U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
(Corps) Melvin Price Lock and Dam, located on the Mississippi River
near the City of Alton, Illinois, in Madison County, Illinois, and St.
Charles County, Missouri. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    Western Minnesota's proposed Melvin Price Lock and Dam
Hydroelectric Project No. 14540-000 would consist of: (1) Six 110-foot-
wide, approximately 110-foot-long steel structures placed immediately
downstream of the existing tainter gates 4 through 9 (one steel
structure per gate) containing arrays of micro-turbines and pinned
between new 60-foot-long, 72-foot-high concrete piers extending
downstream of the existing piers; (2) a 150-foot by 150-foot substation
located next to the dam on the Missouri side of the river that would
step-up the project voltage from 13.8 kilovolts (kV) to 138 kV; (3) a
138 kV, 1.07-miles-long transmission line connecting the project
substation to an existing substation on the Illinois side of the river;
and (4) appurtenant facilities. Western Minnesota has not decided on a
micro-turbine supplier but states that the capacity of the project
would be based on an established flow and head condition. At a mean
water head of 14.7 feet and a flow of 72,600 cubic feet per second
(cfs) flowing through the project, each steel structure assembly would
produce 15.5 megawatts (MW) resulting in a project rated capacity of
93.0 MW. At a maximum operating head of 20.0 feet, the anticipated flow
through the project would be 85,800 cfs producing 24.9 MW per steel
structure assembly or 149.4 MW for the project. The estimated average
annual generation would be 445.4 gigawatt-hours. The project would
occupy 16 acres of Federal Lands owned by the Corps, and operate run-
of-river.

14539-000 would consist of: (1) A 750-foot-long, 22-foot-wide, 66-foot-
high Large Frame Module (LFM) enclosed in a powerhouse and containing
50 turbines each having a diameter of 8 feet and a nameplate capacity
of 1.5 MW for a total system capacity of 75 MW; (2) flow control door
assemblies installed in front of the LFM that can close off flow in
case a suspension of generation is required; (3) a 750-foot-wide, 550-
foot-long tailrace; (4) a 69 kV or 115 kV, 4.8-miles-long transmission
line connecting the project power to an existing substation; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated average annual generation would
be 427,050 gigawatt-hours. The project would occupy Federal Lands owned
by the Corps, and operate run-of-river.
