SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 I. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    This proposed consent decree would resolve a lawsuit alleging that
the Administrator failed to perform a nondiscretionary duty to grant or
deny, within 60 days of submission, two administrative petitions to
object to the combined CAA Title V permit and Prevention of Significant
Deterioration permit No. V-07-017 issued by the Kentucky Department of
Environmental Protection for the proposed Cash Creek Generating Station
in Cash Creek, Kentucky. Under the terms of the proposed consent
decree, EPA has agreed to respond to the petitions by December 14,
2009, or within 3 days after entry of the consent decree, whichever
date is later. In addition, the proposed consent decree states that,
after EPA fulfills its obligations under the decree, and the
Plaintiffs' claims for costs of litigation have been resolved pursuant
to the process described in the decree, the case shall be dismissed
with prejudice.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept written

comments relating to the proposed consent decree from persons who were
not named as parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA
or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the
proposed consent decree if the comments disclose facts or
considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate,
improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act.
Unless EPA or the Department of Justice determines, based on any
comment submitted, that consent to this consent decree should be
withdrawn, the terms of the decree will be affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree

A. How Can I Get a Copy of the Consent Decree?

    The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2009-0671) contains a copy of the proposed consent
decree. The official public docket is available for public viewing at
the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket
Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the OEI Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
http://www.regulations.gov. You may use the http://www.regulations.gov
to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the
contents of the official public docket, and to access those documents
in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the
system, key in the appropriate docket identification number then select
``search''.
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at http://www.regulations.gov without change,
unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is restricted by
statute is not included in the official public docket or in the
electronic public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material,
including copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only
in printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and To Whom Do I Submit Comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an e-mail address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,

    Use of the http://www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments
to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments.
The electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(e-mail) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
e-mail comment directly to the Docket without going through http://
www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 102 of the Maritime Transportation
Security Act of 2002, as amended (46 U.S.C. 70107), established the
PSGP to provide for the establishment of a grant program for a risk-
based allocation of funds to implement Area Maritime Transportation
Security Plans and facility security plans among port authorities,
facility operators, and State and local government agencies required to
provide port security services. Before awarding a grant under the
program, the Secretary shall provide for review and comment by the
appropriate Federal Maritime Security Coordinators and the Maritime
Administrator. In administering the grant program, the Secretary shall
take into account national economic and strategic defense concerns
based upon the most current risk assessments available.'' In addition,
any information collected by FEMA for this program is in accordance
with 46 U.S.C. 70107(g), as amended by section 112(c) of the Security
and Accountability For Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-347),

    OMB Number: 1660-0114.
    FEMA Forms: FEMA Form 089-5, PSGP Investment Justification.
    Abstract: The previous version of FEMA Form 089-5 is outdated and
has become cumbersome with subsequent program explanations within the
notice of funding opportunity explaining the type of information
required. The revised form consolidates the requested information and
provides easy to follow drop-down boxes to minimize confusion among

hour burden is $1,094,112.60. There are no annual costs to respondents'
operations and maintenance costs for technical services. There are no
annual start-up or capital costs. The cost to the Federal Government is
$770,401.
    Comments may be submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

Analytical method. Adequate enforcement methods are available for determination of methoxyfenozide residues in plant commodities. The available Analytical Enforcement Methodology was previously reviewed in the Federal Register of ( September 20, 2002 67 FR 59193). 3. Magnitude of residues. Complete residue data for methoxyfenozide on okra; turnip greens; cucurbit vegetables; pea, blackeyed; and pea, southern have been submitted. The requested tolerances are adequately supported. B. Toxicological profile The toxicological profile and endpoints for methoxyfenozide which supports this petition to establish tolerances were previously published in the Federal Register of September 20, 2002 ( 67 FR 59193) ( FRL   7198 5).

C. Aggregate Exposure 1. Dietary exposure. Assessments were conducted to evaluate potential risks due to chronic and acute dietary exposure of the U. S. population subgroups to residues of methoxyfenozide. These analysis cover all registered crops, as well as, uses pending with the Agency, active and proposed section 18 uses, and proposed IR 4 minor uses. There are no registered residential nonfood uses of methoxyfenozide. i. Food   a. Acute exposure. No appropriate toxicological endpoint attributable to a single exposure was identified in the available toxicology studies on methoxyfenozide including the acute neurotoxicity study in rats, the developmental toxicity study in rats and the developmental toxicity study in rabbits. Since no acute toxicological endpoints were established, Dow AgroSciences considers acute aggregate risk to be negligible. b. Chronic exposure. Dow AgroSciences assumed 100% of crops would be treated and contain methoxyfenozide residues at the tolerance level. Dow AgroSciences used the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEMTM, Novigen Sciences, Washington, DC) software for conducting a chronic dietary ( food) risk analysis. DEEMTM is a dietary exposure analysis system that is used to estimate exposure to a pesticide chemical in foods comprising the diets of the U. S. population, including population subgroups. DEEMTM contains food consumption data as reported by respondents in the Department of Agriculture ( USDA) continuing surveys of food intake by individuals conducted in 1994   1996. ii. Drinking water   Acute exposure. Because no acute dietary endpoint was determined, Dow AgroSciences concludes that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm from acute exposure from drinking water. ii. Chronic exposure. Tier II screening level assessments can be conducted suing the simulation models screening constration in ground water ( SCI GROW) and EPA's pesticide root zone model/ exposure analysis modeling system ( PRZM/ EXAMS) to generate estimated environmental concentrations ( EECs) for ground water and surface VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 18: 05 Mar 20, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 21MRN1. SGM 21MRN1 13920 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 55 / Friday, March 21, 2003 / Notices water, respectively. The modeling was conducted based on the environmental profile and the maximum seasonal application rate proposed for methoxyfenozide ( 1.0 lb active ingredient/ acre/ season). PRZM/ EXAMS was used to generate the surface water EECs, because it can factor the persistent nature of the chemical into the estimates. The EECs for assessing chronic aggregate dietary risk used by the Agency are 6 parts per billion ( ppb) in ground water, based on SCI GROW and 98.5 ppb in surface water, based on the PRZM/ EXAMS, long term mean. 2. Non dietary exposure. Methoxyfenozide is not currently registered for use on any residential non food sites. Therefore, there is no non dietary acute, chronic, short term or intermediate term exposure.

D. Cumulative Effects Section ( 408)( b)( 2)( D)( v) requires that, when considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency consider `` available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residues and `` other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.'' EPA does not have, at this time, available data to determine whether methoxyfenozide has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances or how to include this pesticide in a cumulative risk assessment. Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a cumulative risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, methoxyfenozide does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, it is assumed that methoxyfenozide does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances.

E. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population. Using the DEEMTM exposure assumptions described in this unit, Dow AgroSciences has concluded that aggregate exposure to methoxyfenozide from the proposed new tolerances will utilize 18.9% of the chronic pollution adjusted dose ( cPAD) for the U. S. population. The major identifiable subgroup with the highest aggregate exposure is children 1   6 years old at 37.6% of the cPAD and is discussed below. EPA generally has no concern for exposures below 100% of the cPAD because the cPAD represents the level at or below which daily aggregate dietary exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciable risks to human health. Despite the potential for exposure to methoxyfenozide in drinking water, the aggregate exposure is not expected to exceed 100% of the cPAD. Dow AgroSciences concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to methoxyfenozide residues. 2. Infants and children. FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA shall apply an additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the data base unless EPA determines that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. Margins of safety are incorporated into EPA risk assessments either directly through use of a margin of exposure ( MOE) analysis or through using uncertainty ( safety) factors in calculating a dose level that poses no appreciable risk to humans. EPA believes that reliable data support using the standard uncertainty factor ( UF) usually 100 for combine inter species and intra species variability and not the additional tenfold MOE/ UF when EPA has a complete data base under existing guidelines and when the severity of the effect in infants or children or the potency or unusual toxic properties of a compound do not raise concerns regarding the adequacy of the standard MOE/ safety factor. The toxicology data base for methoxyfenozide included acceptable developmental toxicity studies in both rats and rabbits as well as a 2 generation reproductive toxicity study in rats. The data provided no indication of increased sensitivity of rats or rabbits to in utero and/ or postnatal exposure to methoxyfenozide. There is a complete toxicity data base for methoxyfenozide and exposure data are complete or are estimated based on data that reasonably accounts for potential exposures. Based on the completeness of the data base and the lack of prenatal and postnatal toxicity, EPA determined that an additional safety factor was not needed for the protection of infants and children. Since no toxicological endpoints were established, acute aggregate risk is considered to be negligible. Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit, Dow AgroSciences has concluded that aggregate exposure to methoxyfenozide from the proposed new tolerances will utilize 37.6% of the cPAD for infants and children. EPA generally has no concern for exposures below 100% of the cPAD because the cPAD represents the level at or below which daily aggregate dietary exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciable risks to human health. Drinking water. The back calculated drinking water levels of concern ( DWLOCs) for assessing chronic aggregate dietary risk range from 624 ppb for the most highly exposed population subgroup children ( 1 to 6) years old to 2,839 ppb for the U. S. population ( 48 contiguous States) ( all seasons). Despite the potential for exposure to methoxyfenozide in drinking water, Dow AgroSciences does not expect the aggregate exposure to exceed 100% of the cPAD. Short term and intermediate term risks are judged to be negligible due to the lack of significant toxicological effects observed. Based on these risk assessments, Dow AgroSciences concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to methoxyfenozide residues.

F. International Tolerances There are no Codex or Canadian maximum residue levels ( MRL's) established for residues of methoxyfenozide. Mexican MRL's are established for residues of methoxyfenozide in cottonseed 0.05 ppm and maize 0.01 ppm. The U. S. tolerances on these commodities are 2.0 ppm and 0.05 ppm, respectively. Based on the current use patterns, the U. S. tolerance levels cannot be reduced to harmonize with the Mexican MRL's, so incompatibility will exist. [ FR Doc. 03   6821 Filed 3   20   03; 8: 45 am]

46623 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 6, 2003 / Notices EPA by comparing the dietary exposure from benoxacor to the no observed adverse effect level ( NOAEL) identified for use with the cancer risk assessment. Based on the NOAEL selected by EPA for cancer risk characterization of 0.4 mg/ kg/ day, the cancer risk was estimated to result in a MOE of 1,950 contributed through all the published uses for benoxacor. Based upon the extreme conservatism of the dietary exposure estimates and the fact that tumors were observed only at dose levels far in excess of the selected NOAEL, this MOE is at a level which the Agency does notconsider raising a concern for excess lifetime cancer. 2. Infants and children. EPA has previously determined that the toxicological data base for evaluating prenatal and postnatal toxicity for benoxacor is complete with respect to current data requirements. Because both developmental and reproductive effects occurred in the presence of parental ( systemic) toxicity, these data do not suggest anincreased prenatal or postnatal sensitivity of children and infants tobenoxacor exposure. Based on the above, EPA has previously concludedthat reliable data support use of a 100 fold MOE/ uncertainty factor ( UF), rather than the standard 1,000 fold margin/ factor to protect infants andchildren. EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that noharm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure tobenoxacor residues. 3. Acute risk. Since there are no acute toxicological concerns for benoxacor, EPA has no cause for concern for acute aggregate exposure. 4. Chronic risk. Using the conservative exposure assumptions described above, EPA has previously concluded that aggregate exposure to benoxacor from food will range from 3.69% of the RfD for females13+ years, to 20.7% of the RfD for non nursing infants less than 1   yearold. EPA generally has no concern for exposures below 100% of theRfD because the RfD represents the level at or below which dailyaggregate dietary exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciablerisks to human health. EPA does not expect the aggregate exposure toexceed 100% of the RfD. EPA has previously concluded that there isa reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and childrenfrom aggregate exposure to benoxacor residues. F. International Tolerances No Codex maximum residue levels have been established forresidues of benoxacor.

BILLING CODE 6560   50   S ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [ FRL   7540   9]

Notice of Tentative Approval and Solicitation of Request for a Public Hearing for Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). ACTION: Notice of tentative approval and Solicitation of Requests for a Public Hearing.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in accordance with the provision of section 1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended, and the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is revising its approved Public Water System Supervision Program. Pennsylvania has adopted a Lead and Copper Rule ( LCR) to control lead and copper in drinking water, Lead and Copper Rule Minor Revisions ( LCRMR) to streamline and reduce reporting burden, a Public Notification ( PN) Rule for public water systems to notify their customers when they violate EPA or state drinking water standards, and a Consumer Confidence Report ( CCR) Rule that requires water suppliers to provide annual reports on the quality of the drinking water supplied to their customers. This revision also includes minor revisions to other drinking water rules. EPA has determined that these revisions are no less stringent than the corresponding Federal regulations aside from two minor inconsistencies in the Lead and Copper regulations. The two items concern the requirement to include the location of each site where samples are taken and the criteria under which each site was selected for the system's sampling pool as part of the results reported to the State in the LCR. EPA does not believe that these minor inconsistencies affect compliance with the Federal regulations. They are being addressed through program implementation while the Department of Environmental Protection corrects the deficiencies in its regulations. Therefore, EPA is taking action to tentatively approve these program revisions. All interested parties are invited to submit written comments on this determination and may request a public hearing. DATES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted by September 5, 2003. This determination shall become effective on September 5, 2003 if no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the Regional Administrator does not elect on his own to hold a hearing, and if no comments are received which cause EPA to modify its tentative approval. ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for a public hearing must be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103   2029. All documents relating to this determination are available for inspection between the hours of 8 a. m. and 4: 30 p. m., Monday through Friday, at the following offices:   Drinking Water Branch, Water Protection Division, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103   2029.   Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Water Supply and Wastewater Management, 11th Floor Rachael Carson State Office Building Harrisburg, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105   8467.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nick Tymchenko, Drinking Water Branch at the Philadelphia address given above; telephone ( 215) 814   2022 or fax ( 215) 814   2318. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All interested parties are invited to submit written comments on this determination and may request a public hearing. All comments will be considered, and, if necessary, EPA will issue a response. Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made by September 5, 2003, a public hearing will be held. A request for public hearing shall include the following: ( 1) The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; ( 2) a brief statement of the requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's determination and of information that the requesting person intends to submit at such a hearing; and ( 3) the signature of the individual making the request; or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the organization or other entity.

BILLING CODE 6560   50   P EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION Notice of Delegation of Authority   Processing Complaints Under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act SUMMARY: The amendments to section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U. S. C. 794d, which took effect in 2001 provide that each federal agency must ensure that the electronic and information technology it develops, procures, maintains, or uses is accessible to individuals with disabilities who are federal employees or applicants, or members of the public seeking information or services from the agency. Section 508 authorizes individuals to file administrative complaints and civil actions against an agency, limited to the alleged failure to procure accessible technology. The statute requires federal agencies to process section 508 complaints according to the same complaint procedures used to process section 504 complaints. See 29 U. S. C. 794d( f)( 2). Notice is hereby given that by Order dated July 22, 2003, the Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC) delegated to the Director of the EEOC's Office of Equal Opportunity ( OEO), without authority to redelegate, authority for processing all section 508 complaints against the EEOC. Pursuant to this delegation, the Director of the OEO shall process all section 508 complaints by applicants, employees, or members of the public, against the EEOC, pursuant to the compliance procedures set forth in 29 CFR 1615.170( d)   ( m). These are the same procedures which the EEOC uses to process section 504 complaints against the EEOC by members of the public. The Order provided that the EEOC will not utilize the Federal sector equal employment opportunity administrative complaint procedures, 29 CFR part 1614, to process any section 508 complaints against EEOC, even if filed by an EEOC applicant or employee. The Order explained that as distinguished from the EEOC's authority to process section 501 claims under part 1614, the EEOC does not have authority to interpret and enforce section 508 VerDate jul< 14> 2003 19: 35 Aug 05, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 06AUN1.
