II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant
exemptions from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
FMCSA must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal
Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an
opportunity to inspect the information relevant to the application,
including any safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must
provide an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews safety analyses and public comments submitted
and determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The Agency must
publish its decision in the Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)) with
the reasons for denying or granting the application and, if granted,
the name of the person or class of persons receiving the exemption and
the regulatory provision from which the exemption is granted. The
notice must specify the effective period and explain the terms and
conditions of the exemption. The exemption may be renewed (49 CFR
381.300(b)).

III. Applicant's Request

    Robert Towle seeks an exemption from two requirements in the ELDT
regulations. First, he seeks an exemption from the requirement in 49
CFR 380.713 that a training provider use instructors who meet the
definition of ``theory instructor'' in 49 CFR 380.605. Mr. Towle also
requests an exemption from the requirement in 49 CFR 380.609 that an
individual who applies for the first time for a Class A or B commercial
driver's license (CDL), or who upgrades to a Class A or B CDL, must
complete training from a provider listed on the Training Provider
Registry (TPR) as set forth in 49 CFR part 380 subpart G. Mr. Towle
explains that he is an incarcerated inmate in the New Hampshire State
Prison. According to Mr. Towle, the New Hampshire Department of
Corrections operates a Special School District, Granite State High
School, that provides a CDL training class. Mr. Towle states that the
requested exemptions would allow eligible students at Granite State
High School to receive the requisite theory instruction in order to
obtain their Commercial Learner's Permit as a step towards job-
readiness as part of their community re-entry plan.
    A copy of Robert Towle's application for exemption is available for
review in the docket for this notice.

IV. Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on Robert Towle's application for
two exemptions from the ELDT regulations, as described above. All
comments received before the close of business on the comment closing
date indicated at the beginning of this notice will be considered and
will be available for examination in the docket at the location listed
under the ADDRESSES section of this notice. Comments received after the
comment closing date will be filed in the public docket and will be
considered to the extent practicable. In addition to late comments,
FMCSA will also continue to file, in the public docket, relevant
information that becomes available after the comment closing date.
Interested persons should continue to examine the public docket for new
material.

Pesticides; Availability of Schedule for Registration Review

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the availability of a schedule for the
registration review of pesticides mandated in section 3(g) of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). EPA is
making the schedule available pursuant to the Registration Review
procedural regulations, to inform the public and help interested
stakeholders prepare for the initiation of the registration reviews
scheduled for the first four years of the program. To develop the
schedule, EPA used procedures set forth in the August 9, 2006 final
rule. The schedule shows how the Agency plans to sequence pesticide
reviews to meet the goal of reviewing each pesticide's registration
every 15 years. Although there is not a comment period for this
schedule, the Agency may consider issues raised by the public or the
registrant when reviewing the posted schedule, to schedule a pesticide
registration review, or to modify the schedule of a pesticide
registration review as appropriate. This schedule will take effect on
October 10, 2006, the effective date of the registration review
regulation.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA has issued a schedule for the registration review program, the
periodic review of all registered pesticides mandated by section 3(g)
of FIFRA. The schedule will take effect upon the registration review
regulation effective date of October 10, 2006.
    This schedule is a timetable for opening registration review
dockets for the first four years of the program. It shows how EPA plans
to sequence the initiation of pesticide reviews to meet the statutory
goal of reviewing all registered pesticides every 15 years to determine
whether they still meet the statutory standard for registration. As
noted in the explanation of the schedule, EPA expects a total of about
676 registration review cases comprised of about 1,075 pesticide active
ingredients to undergo registration review. To review all of these
pesticides every 15 years, the Agency plans to make decisions on 45 or
more registration review cases, or about 70 pesticide active
ingredients, each year.
    The schedule shows which registration review cases are expected to
begin the review process during the first four years of the program,
beginning in fiscal year 2007. Each pesticide's place on the schedule
is generally determined by its baseline date, that is, the date of its
last substantive review. The oldest cases go first. The baseline date
for a pesticide subject to reregistration is the date of the
Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) or Interim RED, while for
pesticides not subject to reregistration, it is the date the first
product containing the active ingredient was registered. Although the
draft schedule generally is constructed chronologically using baseline
dates, some registration review cases in years two through four are
grouped in the schedule to achieve greater program efficiencies. For
example, pesticides that are chemically or use related, such as the
organophosphate and carbamate chemical classes, the coppers group and
the pyrethroids, pyrethrins and synergists group, would be reviewed
during the same time frame.
    Background information on the program is provided at:
    http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/
    An explanation of the schedule is at:

    http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/explanation.htm
    The schedule is at:

    http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/schedule.htm.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    EPA is announcing this schedule as provided in Sec.  Sec.
155.42(d) and 155.44 of the Procedural Regulations for Registration
Review: Final Rule http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2006/August/Day-09/p12904.htm
). In general, the Agency may consider issues raised

by the public or the registrant when reviewing a posted schedule, to
schedule a pesticide registration review, or to modify the schedule of
a pesticide registration review as appropriate. This schedule will be
updated at least annually.
