ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0934; FRL-8108-7]

Paradichlorobenzene; Notice of Receipt of Request to Voluntarily
Cancel Pesticide Registration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of a request by the registrant to voluntarily cancel
their registration and the use of products containing the pesticide
paradichlorobenzene. The request would terminate all uses of Fertilome
Tree Borer Crystals. The request would not terminate the last
paradichlorobenzene product registered for use in the U.S. EPA intends
to grant this request at the close of the comment period for this
announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments within the
comment period that would merit its further review of the request or
unless the registrant withdraws their request within this period. Upon
acceptance of this request, any sale, distribution, or use of products
listed in this notice will be permitted only if such sale,
distribution, or use is consistent with the terms as described in the
final order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Cancel and/or Amend
Registrations to Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from the
pesticide registrant, Voluntary Purchasing Groups, Inc., to cancel the
product registration for Fertilome Tree Borer Crystals [EPA Reg. No.
7401-123] containing the active ingredient paradichlorobenzene.
Although this product is registered for use on fruit trees, it is no
longer being produced or sold in the United States. In a letter dated
October 31, 2006, Brazos Associates, Inc, the authorized agent for the
registrant, Voluntary Purchasing Groups, Inc., requested that EPA
cancel the product registration for Fertilome Tree Borer Crystals. This
request would not terminate the last paradichlorobenzene product
registered for use in the U.S.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of a request from Voluntary
Purchasing Groups, Inc. to cancel a single paradichlorobenzene product
registration. The affected product and registrant making the request
are identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit.
    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period
on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor
agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The paradichlorobenzene registrant has requested that EPA waive the
180-day comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed request.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 30 days of
publication of this notice, or if the Agency determines that there are
substantive comments that warrant further review of this request, an
order will be issued canceling the affected registration.

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

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

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request and Considerations for
Reregistration of EPA Reg. No. 7401-123

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before January 26, 2007. This
written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to
the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If
the product has been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. In any order issued in response to this request
for cancellation of a product registration, the Agency proposes to
include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing
stocks of the product identified or referenced in Table 1.
    The registrant will have 18 months to sell or distribute existing
stocks of the product that are packaged, labeled and available for
shipment. Persons other than the registrant will be able to continue to
sell and/or use existing stocks of cancelled products until such stocks
are exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of
the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled
product. The order will specifically prohibit any use of existing
stocks that is not consistent with such previously approved labeling.
If, as the Agency currently intends, the final cancellation order
contains the existing stocks provision just described, the order will
be sent only to the affected registrants of the cancelled products. If
the Agency determines that the final cancellation order should contain
existing stocks provisions different than the ones just described, the
Agency will publish the cancellation order in the Federal Register.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 60163; File No. SR-BX-2009-025]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc.; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change To Retroactively Amend the Fee Schedule
To Clarify and Correct References to the Volume Discount Given to
Market Makers

June 23, 2009.
    On May 8, 2009, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend the Fee Schedule of the
Boston Options Exchange Group, LLC (``BOX'') on a retroactive basis to
clarify and correct references relating to the volume discount
(``Volume Discount'') given to Market Makers. The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the Federal Register on May 21, 2009.\3\
The Commission received no comment letters on the proposal. This order
approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59919 (May 14,
2009), 74 FR 23915 (May 21, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend Section 3 of the BOX Fee Schedule,
dealing with Market Maker Trading Fees, on a retroactive basis. BOX
currently applies, and historically has applied, a Volume Discount to
the fees charged to BOX Market Makers who engage in particularly active
trading volume on BOX. The proposed changes will clarify and correct
the Fee Schedule to reflect that trading volume in options classes
included within the Liquidity Make or Take Pricing Structure (``Make or
Take''), as set forth in Section 7 of the BOX Fee Schedule, is excluded
when determining a Market Maker's Volume Discount.\4\ The text
explicitly stating this used to be included in the BOX Fee Schedule,
but was inadvertently removed in a prior filing, SR-BSE-2007-52.\5\ The
Exchange requests that the proposed rule change be made effective
retroactive to November 30, 2007, which is the date of filing and
effectiveness of SR-BSE-2007-52.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Make or Take volume is excluded when determining a Market
Maker's monthly trading volume for purposes of the Volume Discount
and is not eligible to have a Volume Discount applied to it.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56948 (December 12,
2007), 72 FR 72426 (December 20, 2007) (SR-BSE-2007-52).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\6\ In
particular, the Commission believes that the proposal to retroactively
modify the Exchange's fee schedule such that trading volume in options
classes included within the Make or Take is excluded when determining a
Market Maker's Volume Discount it is consistent with and Section
6(b)(4) of the Act,\7\ in that it is designed to provide for the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among
its members and issuers and other persons using its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that the Exchange has represented that the
inadvertent elimination of the language in question from the BOX Fee
Schedule on November 30, 2007 did not alter BOX Market Makers'
understanding that Make or Take volume was excluded from the
calculation of the Volume Discount. The Commission also notes that the
proposed change is intended to eliminate any gap in the actual
treatment of Make or Take volume when calculating the Volume Discount.
Accordingly, the Commission believes that the proposed changes to
Section 3 of the BOX Fee Schedule do not raise any new or novel issues
and merely are designed to accurately reflect the fee structure the
Exchange and its participants understood to be in effect.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\8\ that the proposed rule change (SR-BX-2009-025), be, and it
hereby is, approved.

International Airport, San Bernardino, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to establish Class D airspace at San
Bernardino International Airport, San Bernardino, CA. A contract
Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) is being established at San
Bernardino International Airport, San Bernardino, CA, which will meet
criteria for Class D airspace. Class D airspace is recommended when the
ATCT is open to contain and protect Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures (SIAPs) and other Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
at the airport. This action would establish Class D airspace extending
upward from the surface to but not including 2,700 feet Mean Sea Level
(MSL) within a 4.5 nautical mile radius of the airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 14, 2008.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Class D airspace at
San Bernardino International Airport, San Bernardino, CA. An ATCT is
being contracted at San Bernardino International Airport, and Class D
airspace is recommended during the hours the ATCT is open. Class D
controlled airspace is necessary for the safety of aircraft executing
SIAPs and other IFR operations at San Bernardino International Airport.
Class D airspace will be effective during specified dates and times
established in advance by a Notice to Airmen. The effective date and
time will, thereafter, be published in the Airport/Facility Directory.
    Class D airspace designations for airspace areas extending upward
from the surface of the earth are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA
Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15,
2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D
airspace designations listed in this document would be published
subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The Proposed Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

Sec.  71.1  [Amended]

    2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of Federal
Aviation Administration Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15,
2007, is amended as follows:
