Sec.  82.4   Prohibitions for class I controlled substances.

* * * * *
    (j)(1) Effective January 1, 1995, no person may import, at any time
in any control period, a used class I controlled substance, except for
Group II used controlled substances shipped in aircraft halon bottles
for hydrostatic testing, without having received a non-objection notice
from the Administrator in accordance with Sec.  82.13(g)(2) and (3). A
person who receives a non-objection notice for the import of an
individual shipment of used controlled substances may not transfer or
confer the right to import and may not import any more than the exact
quantity, in kilograms, of the used controlled substance cited in the
non-objection notice. Every kilogram of importation of used controlled
substance in excess of the quantity cited in the non-objection notice
issued by the Administrator in accordance with Sec.  82.13(g)(2) and
(3) constitutes a separate violation.
    (2) No person may import for purposes of destruction, at any time
in any control period, a class I controlled substance for which EPA has
apportioned baseline production and consumption allowances, without
having submitted a certification of intent to import for destruction to
the Administrator and received a non-objection notice in accordance
with Sec.  82.13(g)(5). A person issued a non-objection notice for the
import of an individual shipment of class I controlled substances for
destruction may not transfer or confer the right to import and may not
import any more than the exact quantity (in kilograms) of the class I
controlled substance stated in the non-objection notice. For imports
intended to be destroyed in the United

States, a person issued a non-objection notice must destroy the
controlled substance within one year of the date stamped on the non-
objection letter, may not transfer or confer the right to import, and
may not import any more than the exact quantity (in kilograms) of the
class I controlled substance stated in the non-objection notice. Every
kilogram of import of class I controlled substance in excess of the
quantity stated in the non-objection notice issued by the Administrator
in accordance with Sec.  82.13(g)(5) constitutes a separate violation
of this subpart.
* * * * *
    (r) No person may sell or use methyl bromide produced or imported
under the quarantine and preshipment exemption for any purpose other
than for quarantine applications or preshipment applications as defined
in Sec.  82.3. Each kilogram of methyl bromide produced or imported
under the authority of the quarantine and preshipment exemption and
sold or used for a use other than quarantine or preshipment is a
separate violation of this subpart.
    (s) No person may sell or distribute, or offer for sale or
distribution, any class I substance that they know, or have reason to
know, was imported in violation of this section, except for such
actions needed to re-export the controlled substance. Every kilogram of
a controlled substance imported in contravention of this paragraph (s)
that is sold or distributed, or offered for sale or distribution,
constitutes a separate violation of this subpart.

including its Article 5 allowances, by trading with another Party to
the Protocol according to the provision under this paragraph (c). A
company may increase or decrease its essential-use allowances for CFCs
for use in essential MDIs according to the provisions under this
paragraph (c). A nation listed in appendix C to this subpart (Parties
to the Montreal Protocol) must agree either to transfer to the person
for the current control period some amount of production or import that
the nation is permitted under the Montreal Protocol or to receive from
the person for the current control period some amount of production or
import that the person is permitted under this subpart. If the
controlled substance is produced under the authority of production
allowances and is to be sold in the United States or to another Party
(not the Party from whom the allowances are received), the U.S. company
must expend its consumption allowances allocated under Sec. Sec.  82.6
and 82.7 in order to produce with the additional production allowances.

has apportioned baseline production and consumption allowances, without
having submitted a certification of intent to import for destruction to
the Administrator and received a non-objection notice in accordance
with Sec.  82.24(c)(6). A person issued a non-objection notice for the
import of an individual shipment of class II controlled substances for
destruction may not transfer or confer the right to import and may not
import any more than the exact quantity (in kilograms) of the class II
controlled substance stated in the non-objection notice. For imports
intended to be destroyed in the United States, a person issued a non-
objection notice must destroy the controlled substance within one year
of the date stamped on the non-objection letter, may not transfer or
confer the right to import, and may not import any more than the exact
quantity (in kilograms) of the class II controlled substance stated in
the non-objection notice. Every kilogram of import of class II
controlled substance in excess of the quantity stated in the non-

    (8) No person may sell or distribute, or offer for sale or
distribution, any class II substance that they know, or have reason to
know, was imported in violation of this section, except for such
actions needed to re-export the controlled substance. Every kilogram of
a controlled substance imported in contravention of this paragraph
(g)(8) that is sold or distributed, or offered for sale or
distribution, constitutes a separate violation of this subpart.

U.S. Customs, the non-objection notice issued by EPA must accompany the
shipment through U.S. Customs.
    (v) If for some reason, following EPA's issuance of a non-objection
notice, new information is brought to EPA's attention which shows that
the non-objection notice was issued based on false information, then
EPA has the right to:
    (A) Revoke the non-objection notice;
    (B) Pursue all means to ensure that the class II controlled
substance is not imported into the United States; and
    (C) Take appropriate enforcement actions.

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA), National
Enforcement Training Institute is giving notice that it proposes to
rescind a system of records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy
Act of 1974. The NETI eLearning Center was used by Federal, State,
Local, and Tribal environmental enforcement and compliance personnel

registration information of internal and external users and records of
training attendance and completion. The Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance (OECA) will no longer maintain the NETI eLearning
Center.

DATES: EPA OECA discontinued use of the NETI eLearning Center in July
2020.

		           NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2002-12198

________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Application of      AIR WISCONSIN AIRLINES CORPORATION   filed  4/26/02,
for:

XX  Exemption for two years under 49 U.S.C. 40109 to provide the
following service:

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail
between any point or points in the United States and any point or points
in Canada with large aircraft.

Applicant rep: Geoffrey T. Crowley<PHONE_NUMBER>  DOT Analyst:  Linda
L. Lundell<PHONE_NUMBER>

D I S P O S I T I O N

XX  Granted (see below)

The above action was effective when taken:  May 30, 2002,  through  May
30, 2004,  or until 90 days after final Department action on a
corresponding certificate application, whichever occurs earlier.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		    Office of International Aviation

XX  The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and Canada.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

XX  Holder’s certificate of public convenience and necessity

	XX  Standard Exemption Conditions (attached)

	XX  Statement of Authorization approving Air Wisconsin/Air Canada
code-share

 	          Operations dated April 16, 2002 (Docket OST-2002-12050).

________________________________________________________________________
___________

Remarks:  Air Wisconsin has previously been found to be a citizen of the
United States and fit, willing, and able to provide scheduled interstate
air transportation of persons, property, and mail as a certificated air
carrier under section 41102 of Title 49 U.S.C. (see Orders 93-12-41 and
98-7-6).  The foreign air transportation services authorized here are
not markedly different in terms of aircraft size or stage length from
the carrier’s current scheduled interstate operations under its
existing certificate authority.  We, therefore, found that Air Wisconsin
is qualified to provide the proposed air transportation services for the
two-year period covered by this exemption.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-465-000]

ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Wisconsin 2009 Expansion
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

October 21, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of ANR Pipeline Company's (ANR's)
Wisconsin 2009 Expansion Project (Project) involving installation of
8.9 miles of 30-inch-diameter looping pipeline and appurtenant
facilities in Rock, Wood, Marathon, and Columbia Counties, Wisconsin.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process we will
use to gather input from the public and interested agencies on the
project. Your input will help the Commission staff determine which
issues need to be evaluated in the EA. Please note that the scoping
period will close on November 25, 2008.

    This notice is being sent to affected landowners; federal, state,
and local government representatives and agencies; environmental and
public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested
parties in this proceeding; and local libraries and newspapers. We
encourage government representatives to notify their constituents of
this planned project and encourage them to comment on their areas of
concern.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' was attached to the
project notice ANR provided to landowners. This fact sheet addresses a
number of typically asked questions, including how to participate in
the Commission's proceedings. It is available for viewing on the FERC
Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    To accommodate the growing demand for natural gas on its system ANR
is proposing to construct its Project facilities in order to provide
about 97,880,000 dekatherms per day of incremental firm capacity. ANR
proposes to undertake the following construction-related activities in
Wisconsin:
     Construct about 8.9 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline
loop (Janesville Loop) in Rock County;
     Relocate an existing pig receiver and appurtenances to the
existing Janesville Compressor Station at milepost 8.9 of the
Janesville Loop in Rock County;
     Install a new control valve at the existing Marshfield
Compressor Station in Wood County;
     Install a new control valve at the existing Fairwater
Meter Station in Columbia County; and
     Perform upgrades to the existing Marshfield, North Wausau,
and Randolph Meter Stations in Wood, Marathon, and Columbia Counties,
respectively.
    The location of the project facilities is shown in Appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice are not being
printed in the Federal Register. Copies of all appendices are
available on the Commission's Web site at the ``eLibrary'' link or
from the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
Copies of the appendices were sent to all those receiving this
notice in the mail.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nonjurisdictional Facilities

    There are no non-jurisdictional facilities associated with this
project.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the proposed Janesville Loop facilities would
require a construction right-of-way (ROW) varying in width from 75 feet
to 125 feet totaling about 130.3 acres of land, of which a 50-foot-wide
strip totaling about 53.4 acres would remain as permanent ROW.
Following construction about, 76.9 acres of land would be allowed to
revert to its former use.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
to discover and address concerns the public may have about proposals.
This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this Notice of Intent, the Commission staff
requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the
EA. All comments received are considered during the preparation of the
EA. State and local government representatives are encouraged to notify
their constituents of this proposed action and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
    In the EA we \2\ will discuss impacts that could occur as a result
of the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:

    \2\ ``We'', ``us'', and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Office of Energy Projects (OEP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Geology and soils
 Land use
 Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands
 Cultural resources
 Vegetation and wildlife
 Air quality and noise
 Endangered and threatened species
 Hazardous waste
 Public safety

    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Our independent analysis of the issues will be in the EA. Depending
on the comments received during the scoping process, the EA may be
published and mailed to federal, state, and local agencies, public
interest groups, interested individuals, affected landowners,
newspapers, libraries, and the Commission's official service list for
this proceeding. A comment period will be allotted for review if the EA
is published. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make
our recommendations to the Commission.
    To ensure your comments are considered, please carefully follow the
instructions in the public participation section below.

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified issues that we think deserve attention
based on a preliminary review of the proposed facilities and the
environmental information provided by ANR. This preliminary list of
issues may be changed based on your comments and our analysis.
     The project may impact residential areas.
     The project may impact forested wetlands.

Public Participation

    You can make a difference by providing us with your specific
comments or concerns about the Wisconsin 2009 Expansion Project. Your
comments should focus on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental
impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be.
To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please
send in your comments so that they will be received in Washington, DC
on or before November 25, 2008.
    For your convenience, there are three methods in which you can use
to submit your comments to the Commission. In all instances please
reference the project docket number CP08-465-000 with your submission.
The Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has
dedicated eFiling expert staff available to assist you at (202) 502-
8258 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the Quick
Comment feature, which is located on the Commission's internet Web site
at http://www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. A Quick
Comment is an easy method for interested persons to submit text-only
comments on a project;
    (2) You may file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature, which is located on the Commission's internet Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and Filings. eFiling
involves

preparing your submission in the same manner as you would if filing on
paper, and then saving the file on your computer's hard drive. You will
attach that file as your submission. New eFiling users must first
create an account by clicking on ``Sign up'' or ``eRegister.'' You will
be asked to select the type of filing you are making. A comment on a
particular project is considered a ``Comment on a Filing;'' or
    (3) You may file your comments via mail to the Commission by
sending an original and two copies of your letter to: Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE.,
Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
    Label one copy of the comments for the attention of Gas Branch 3,
PJ11.3.

Environmental Mailing List

    An effort is being made to send this notice to all individuals,
organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially
affected by the proposed project. This includes all landowners whose
property may be used temporarily for project purposes, who have
existing easements from the pipeline, or who own homes within distances
defined in the Commission's regulations of certain aboveground
facilities. By this notice we are also asking governmental agencies,
especially those in Appendix 2, to express their interest in becoming
cooperating agencies for the preparation of the EA.
    If you do not want to send comments at this time but still want to
remain on our mailing list, please return the Information Request
(Appendix 3). If you do not return the Information Request, you will be
taken off the mailing list.

Becoming an Intervenor

    In addition to involvement in the EA scoping process, you may want
to become an official party to the proceeding known as an
``intervenor.'' Intervenors play a more formal role in the process.
Among other things, intervenors have the right to receive copies of
case-related Commission documents and filings by other intervenors.
Likewise, each intervenor must send one electronic copy (using the
Commission's eFiling system) or 14 paper copies of its filings to the
Secretary of the Commission and must send a copy of its filings to all
other parties on the Commission's service list for this proceeding.
    If you want to become an intervenor you must file a motion to
intervene according to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Only intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing of the Commission's decision.
    The Notice of Application for this proposed project issued on
August 29, 2008 identified the date for the filing of interventions as
September 19, 2008. However, affected landowners and parties with
environmental concerns may be granted late intervenor status upon
showing good cause by stating that they have a clear and direct
interest in this proceeding which would not be adequately represented
by any other parties. You do not need intervenor status to have your
environmental comments considered.

Availability of Additional Information

    Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC or on the
FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link.
