a community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having
in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in
the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS report are used
by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for buildings and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: The date of June 5, 2020 has been established for the FIRM and,
where applicable, the supporting FIS report showing the new or modified
flood hazard information for each community.

final flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below and will be available online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov by the date indicated above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations listed below for the new or
modified flood hazard information for each community listed.
Notification of these changes has been published in newspapers of local
circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication. The Deputy
Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has resolved any
appeals resulting from this notification.
    This final notice is issued in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part
67. FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone
areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the new or revised FIRM and FIS report available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service

Hi Katie  -  I was wondering when you were planning to submit the fugitive monitoring plan for Haverhill? It is 2 weeks past the due date and we are almost finished reviewing the plans for all the other facilities. If we could get your plan next week, I wouldn't need to elevate the issue to my management. Thanks in advance for your attention to this.

II. Background and Statutory Findings

     In the Federal Register of July 22, 2009 (74 FR 36200) (FRL-8425-
8), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide tolerance
petition (PP 7E7188) by IR-4, Rutgers University, 500 College Road,
East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540 (on behalf of Sellew and
Associates, LLC, 84 Shadybrook Lane, Carlisle, MA 01741). The petition
requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Trichoderma hamatum

isolate 382. This notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared
by the petitioner, IR-4 (on behalf of Sellew and Associates, LLC),
which is available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. A comment
was received on the notice of filing. EPA's response to this comment is
discussed in Unit VII.C.
    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Pursuant to section 408(c)(2)(B) of FFDCA, in
establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in
section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA, which require EPA to give special
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical
residue....'' Additionally, section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA requires that
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 performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from
aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. First, EPA determines the
toxicity of pesticides. Second, EPA examines exposure to the pesticide
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings.

III. Toxicological Profile

    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action and considered its validity, completeness, and reliability
and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children.

A. Overview of Trichoderma Hamatum Isolate 382.

    Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 is a naturally occurring fungus
that is found widely in soils, potting media, corn grits, and flour, as
well as on root surfaces of various plants, decaying bark, fruits, and
vegetables. Indeed, Trichoderma hamatum populations have been measured
at levels between 1 x 104 and 1 x 108 colony-
forming units (cfu) per gram dry weight of container media alone. As a
pesticidal active ingredient, Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 will be
mixed with or applied to soilless potting media or compost mainly to
induce systemic resistance to diseases of roots and aboveground plant
parts. It may also suppress the activity of certain soilborne plant
pathogens (including Pythium species, Phytophthora species, Fusarium
species, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, and Thielaviopsis
basicola) and protect the foliage of some plant species from powdery
mildew, Botrytis blight, Phytophthora blights, and dieback diseases
(e.g., Botryosphaeria dieback) through competition for nutrients and
space. No relationships are known between the Trichoderma genus and any
pathogen of humans, animals, or plants. Most notably, Trichoderma
hamatum isolate 382 is not considered a dermatophyte fungus in that it
is not classified into any of the three genera (Microsporum,
Epidermophyton, and Trichophyton) known to cause skin disease in
animals and humans.
    In conjunction with Experimental Use Permit 69006-EUP-1, which was
effective from January 1, 1996 until January 1, 1998, a temporary
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance was established
previously for Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 for use on selected
ornamentals and vegetable bedding plants in or on the raw agricultural
commodities broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, eggplant,
lettuce, cantaloupe, pepper, tomato, and watermelon (61 FR 28580, June
5, 1996, FRL-5371-2). This temporary exemption expired on March 1,
1998. Although there are no currently existing tolerances or tolerance
exemptions for Trichoderma hamatum species, there are permanent
tolerance exemptions established for all food commodities for two
strains of a closely related Trichoderma species: Trichoderma harzianum
KRL-AG2 (ATCC 20847) strain T-22 under 40 CFR 180.1102 (64 FR
16856, April 7, 1999 FRL-6070-3) and Trichoderma harzianum strain T-39
under 40 CFR 180.1201 (65 FR 38753, June 22, 2000, FRL-6383-7).
    The petitioner submitted Tier I mammalian toxicology data for the
active ingredient, Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382. EPA has reviewed
and found these data acceptable to support the establishment of a
permanent exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of
Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382. These studies indicate that the active
ingredient is not toxic, infective, and/or pathogenic to rats when
administered by the oral, pulmonary, or injection routes of exposure
and is only slightly irritating to the skin. Furthermore, even with
extensive experimental uses in the mid- to late-1990s and subsequent
compilation of data to support potential pesticide products, no
Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382-related hypersensitivity incidents have
been reported to EPA. The overall conclusions from these data are
described in Unit III.B., while more in-depth synopses of the study
results can be found in the risk assessments and Biopesticides
Registration Action Document provided as references in Unit III.C.

B. Microbial Pesticide Toxicology Data Requirements

    1. Acute oral toxicity and pathogenicity - rat (Harmonized Test
Guideline 885.3050; Master Record Identification Number (MRID No.)
455836-03). An acceptable acute oral and pathogenicity study
demonstrated that Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 was not toxic,
infective, and/or pathogenic to rats when dosed at up to 3.9 x
108 cfu/animal (U.S. EPA 2009, 2010b, 2010c).
    2. Acute pulmonary toxicity and pathogenicity - rat (Harmonized
Test Guideline 885.3150; MRID Nos. 460106-02 and 469997-01). An
acceptable acute pulmonary toxicity and pathogenicity study
demonstrated that Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 was not toxic,
infective, and/or pathogenic to rats when dosed intratracheally at 1.3
x 107 cfu/animal (U.S. EPA 2009, 2010b, 2010c).
    3. Acute injection toxicity and pathogenicity - rat (Harmonized
Test Guideline 885.3200; MRID No. 475989-08). An acceptable acute
injection toxicity and pathogenicity study demonstrated that
Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 was not toxic, infective, and/or
pathogenic in rats when dosed intraperitoneally at 4.0 x 107
cfu/animal (U.S. EPA 2009, 2010b, 2010c).
    4. Hypersensitivity incidents (Harmonized Test Guideline 885.3400).
No hypersensitivity incidents involving Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382
and

occurring during fermentation, processing, formulation, or research
have been reported to the Agency. Any future hypersensitivity incidents
must be reported per 40 CFR 158.2140 (U.S. EPA 2010c).
    5. Acute oral toxicity (Harmonized Test Guideline 870.1100; MRID
No. 475989-04), acute dermal toxicity (Harmonized Test Guideline
870.1200; MRID No. 475989-04), and acute inhalation toxicity
(Harmonized Test Guideline 870.1300; MRID No. 475989-04). The Agency
waived these acute toxicity data requirements based on Trichoderma
hamatum isolate 382's ubiquitous presence in the environment (see Unit
III.A.) and the absence of incidents of hypersensitivity, allergies, or
other adverse effects, despite varying uses of Trichoderma hamatum
isolate 382 since 1996 (e.g., research activities performed in
accordance with the terms of an experimental use permit) (U.S. EPA
2009, 2010c).
    6. Primary dermal irritation - rabbit (Harmonized Test Guideline
870.2500; MRID 475989-05). An acceptable primary dermal irritation
study demonstrated that Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 was slightly
irritating to the skin of rabbits. The study resulted in a
classification of Toxicity Category IV for this strain of Trichoderma
hamatum (U.S. EPA 2009, 2010a, 2010c).

2010-0489 at http://www.regulations.gov).

IV. Aggregate Exposures

    In examining aggregate exposure, section 408 of FFDCA directs EPA
to consider available information concerning exposures from the
pesticide residue in food and all other non-occupational exposures,
including drinking water from ground water or surface water and
exposure through pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or buildings
(residential and other indoor uses).

A. Dietary Exposure

    Dietary exposure to the microbial pesticide may occur (more likely
through food than drinking water), but the lack of acute oral toxicity,
infectivity, and/or pathogenicity, based on a toxicology test on rats
presented in Unit III.B., is just one of several factors supporting the
establishment of a permanent exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382.
    1. Food. Dietary exposure to the microbial active ingredient is
expected to be minimal. Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 is only
intended for directed application to or incorporation into soilless
potting media or compost. These application methods are not conducive
to residue accumulation in crops. Moreover, Trichoderma species live in
soils and are unlikely to persist on plants. Any spores that end up on
plants due to application as a pesticide would decrease over time as a
result of weathering, desiccation, and ultraviolet radiation, which can
kill even quiescent forms of the fungus. In the remote likelihood that
the applied fungus grew on the edible portions of treated crops, the
results of the toxicology testing demonstrated that no toxicity,
infectivity, and/or pathogenicity in treated animals occurred, even
when dosed with high levels of Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 by the
oral route of exposure (see additional discussion in Unit III.B.).
    2. Drinking water exposure. Drinking water exposure is expected to
be negligible because the microbial fungicide will not be applied to
water. Further, Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 is a soil microorganism
and would not proliferate in aquatic environments. Moreover, the Agency
believes that Trichoderma species within the soil will not likely
percolate into water due to the large size of the fungal spores and the
fact that they adhere readily to soil particles. Even in the unlikely
event that dietary exposure occurs through drinking water, the results
of the oral toxicology testing, as described in Unit III.B.,
demonstrated that no toxicity, infectivity, and/or pathogenicity in
treated animals occurred.

B. Other Non-Occupational Exposure

    Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 is a naturally occurring
microorganism and is ubiquitous in the environment. As a pesticidal
active ingredient, Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 will be applied to
or incorporated into soilless potting media or compost predominantly in
greenhouses. Although some applications may take place in residential
areas, there is no evidence of any concern for inhalation or dermal
toxicity at exposure levels several orders of magnitude higher than
would be expected to be encountered by a typical residential end user
(see Unit III.B.). Additionally, as anticipated given that there are no
recognized relationships between the Trichoderma genus and any pathogen
of humans and animals, there have been no reports of adverse effects to
humans from inhalation or dermal exposure to this widespread fungus.

V. Cumulative Effects from Substances with a Common Mechanism of
Toxicity

    Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA 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 has not found Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 to share a common
mechanism of toxicity with any other substances, and Trichoderma
hamatum isolate 382 does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite as
its mode against the target pests. For the purposes of this tolerance
exemption action, therefore, EPA has assumed that Trichoderma hamatum
isolate 382 does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which
chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate

the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

VI. Determination of Safety for U.S. Population, Infants, and Children

    FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides that EPA shall assess the
available information about consumption patterns among infants and
children, special susceptibility of infants and children to pesticide
chemical residues, and the cumulative effects on infants and children
of the residues and other substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity. In addition, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) 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 database unless EPA
determines that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants
and children. Margins of exposure (safety), which are often referred to
as uncertainty factors, are incorporated into EPA risk assessments
either directly or through the use of a margin of exposure analysis, or
by using uncertainty (safety) factors in calculating a dose level that
poses no appreciable risk.
    Based on the acute toxicity and pathogenicity data discussed in
Unit III.B., as well as the ubiquity of Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382
in the environment without reported adverse effects to humans, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the United States population, including infants and children, from
aggregate exposure to the residues of Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382.
This includes all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures
for which there is reliable information. The Agency has arrived at this
conclusion because the data and information available on Trichoderma
hamatum isolate 382 do not demonstrate toxic, pathogenic, and/or
infective potential to mammals. Thus, there are no threshold effects of
concern and, as a result, an additional margin of safety is not
necessary.

VII. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

B. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. In this
context, EPA considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs)
established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required
by FFDCA section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization
food standards program, and it is recognized as an international food
safety standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the
United States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is
different from a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires
that EPA explain the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for Trichoderma hamatum isolate
382.

C. Response to Comments

    One comment, which specifically stated that the petition should be
rejected without full testing for 20 years, was received in response to
the notice of filing. The Agency notes that the data requirements do
not require 20 years of testing, and no current information available
to EPA suggests the need for 20 years worth of data to characterize the
pesticide's toxicity, infectivity and/or pathogenicity. For the
proposed uses of the microbial active ingredient (i.e., applications to
or incorporation into soilless potting media or compost), the Agency
has concluded that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to the United States population, including infants and children,
from aggregate exposure to the residues of Trichoderma hamatum isolate
382. Thus, under the standard in FFDCA section 408(c)(2), an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Trichoderma hamatum
isolate 382 is appropriate.

VIII. Conclusions

     The Agency concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no
harm will result to the United States population, including infants and
children, from aggregate exposure to residues of Trichoderma hamatum
isolate 382. Therefore, an exemption is established for residues of
Trichoderma hamatum isolate 382 in or on all food commodities when
applied as a fungicide and used in accordance with good agricultural
practices.

IX. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes a tolerance exemption under section
408(d) of FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of
actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory
Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final
rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this
final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), or Executive Order
13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks
and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does
not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it
require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898,
entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance
exemption in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed
rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes. As a result, this
action does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999), and Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require

Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to
section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

X. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release property at Shawnee Regional Airport. The FAA
determined that the request to release property at Shawnee Regional
Airport submitted by the City of Shawnee met the procedural
requirements of the 49 U.S.C 47107(h)(2). The FAA may approve the
request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty days after the
publication of this notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request: The city of
Shawnee requests the release of 2.48 acres of airport property valued
at $220,000. This property was deeded to the City of Shawnee by the War
Assets Administration on November 20, 1947. It is located southwest of
the Airport and is separated from the airfield by U.S Highway 270/
Oklahoma State Highway 177. Based on the location of this property, it
is not needed now or in the foreseeable future for aeronautical
purposes and/or airport development. The property is currently leased
by Metro Mart. Inc. This is a land lease only, and all improvements
were made by the lessee. The release will allow the city to sell the
property at fair market value. The city of Shawnee will use the
proceeds to construct a T-hangar. The income from the lease of the
hangars will benefit the aviation community by increasing airport
revenue.
    Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office

                              Response to Comment

Comments Summary and Reponses to Comments
Information Collection Request for Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) Rebate Program [Regulations.gov Docket ID: EPA-HQ-OAR-2012-0103].

EPA received one set of comments for the proposed Rebate Program ICR. Below is a summary of the main topics covered by this comment and a summary of EPA's response.

Comment EPA-HQ-OAR-2012-0103-0005 [Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association (MECA)]
Summary: Commenter expressed support for the Rebate Program and included suggestions for ensuring that rebates issued for vehicle and equipment retrofits maximize emission reductions and encourage the use of the most compatible technologies. The commenter recommended that applicants fill out and submit a pre-installation checklist with any Application to Reserve Funds for a diesel particulate filter installation. In addition, the commenter suggested requiring recipients of rebates for retrofit technologies to operate those devices in accordance with manufacturer specifications. Finally, the commenter suggested a methodology for ranking rebate applications in the event EPA is not able to fund all requested rebates and suggested that rebates for retrofit technologies cover 100% of the equipment and installation costs.

Response: EPA notes the commenter's overall support for the Rebate Program. We agree that a pre-installation checklist is a useful tool for identifying any incompatibilities between a proposed diesel particulate filter and the engine on which it would be installed. EPA has previously provided an example checklist in Appendix F of our Diesel Emissions Reduction Program
(DERA): Technologies, Fleets and Projects Information (EPA-420-P-11-001). For Rebate Program funding opportunities that include rebates for diesel particulate filters, we will provide an example pre-installation checklist for applicants to use. EPA also agrees that rebate recipients should be required to operate any retrofit devices in accordance with manufacturers' specifications. For Rebate Program funding opportunities that include rebates for retrofit technology installations, EPA will include a Term and Condition in the program guidance requiring the retrofit devices to be operated in accordance with all specifications. By signing both the Application to Reserve Funds and Application for Payment Request, applicants certify that they will abide by program terms and conditions.

Regarding maximizing emission reductions and ranking rebate applications, EPA notes the commenter's concerns but believes that by determining up front the types of projects eligible for rebates and restricting those to a certain subset of vehicle types, technologies, model years, and/or geographic areas, we are meeting the National Programmatic Priorities set forth by Title VII, Subtitle G (Sections 791 to 797) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58), as amended by the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-364), codified at 42 U.S.C. 16131 et seq. Therefore, we have pre-determined that if an applicant meets the eligibility criteria for receiving a rebate, then that applicant is meeting the requirements of the statute and need not be further evaluated and ranked. In this way, the Rebate Program allows for a streamlined process for disbursing Federal funds to worthy emission reduction projects. Rebate applicants who submit an Application to Reserve Funds within the designated submission period and that meet the eligibility terms of a given rebate funding opportunity will be included in a random selection to identify selectees for funding.  Non-selected eligible applicants will be placed on a waiting list should any of the initial selectees be unable to complete the work.

EPA will consider the commenter's recommendation of providing rebates for 100% of the cost of equipment and installation for retrofit technologies when contemplating rebate funding opportunities for retrofit technologies. The initial funding opportunity is expected to be for school bus replacement projects, therefore we have not yet addressed this issue.
