January 21
EPA Increases Transparency on Chemical Risk Information
As part of Administrator Lisa P. Jackson’s commitment to strengthen and reform chemical management, EPA today announced a new policy to increase the public’s access to information on chemicals. Starting today, EPA intends to reject claims of Confidential Business Information (CBI) on the identity of chemicals. The chemicals that will be affected by this action are those that are submitted to EPA with studies that show a substantial risk to people's health and the environment and have been previously disclosed on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Chemical Inventory. This action represents another step to use the Agency’s authority under the existing TSCA to the fullest extent possible, recognizing EPA’s strong belief that the 1976 law is both outdated and in need of reform.

January 20
EPA Issues Amendment to Reregistration Eligibility Decision for Sulfometuron Methyl
In 2008, EPA issued a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the herbicide, sulfometuron methyl. In response to comments and mitigation proposals submitted by the technical registrant, user groups, and individuals, EPA conducted a reassessment of the sulfometuron methyl RED. Based on the new information received, and in a continuing effort to mitigate risk, the Agency has made certain modifications to the sulfometuron methyl RED. The Agency's response to comments is available for viewing in docket ID# EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0129.

Partnership Grants Demonstrate Integrated Pest Management
EPA has awarded grants totaling nearly $1 million for projects that promote agricultural and community-based Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches to pesticide risk-reduction. IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. The grants will support a number of diverse activities, including: research, demonstration of innovative IPM practices, technologies, training of new IPM coaches, outreach, and multilingual education programs.

January 19
Call for Data for Illinois River Watershed Model
EPA Region 6 is developing a watershed model for the Illinois River watershed in Oklahoma and Arkansas to address nutrient water quality impairments. The results of this watershed model may be used to develop one or more total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for the Illinois River Watershed. EPA requests that the public provide any water quality related data and information that may be relevant to the development of the Illinois River Watershed model and TMDL by March 3, 2010. In addition, EPA requests that all data submissions include the quality assurance and quality control documentation. This watershed model will serve as a tool to effectively identify nutrient reductions needed to ensure that water quality standards for phosphorus are protected in both states; and, to devise varying allocation and load reduction scenarios needed to guide appropriate point and non-point source controls.

January 15
EPA Proposes Standards To Protect Florida’s Waters
EPA is proposing water quality standards to protect people’s health, aquatic life, and the long term recreational uses of Florida’s waters, which are a critical part of the state’s economy. In 2009, EPA entered into a consent decree with the Florida Wildlife Federation to propose limits to this pollution. The proposed action, released for public comment and developed in collaboration with the state, would set a series of numeric limits on the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen that would be allowed in Florida’s lakes, rivers, streams, springs, and canals. Nutrient pollution can damage drinking water sources; increase exposure to harmful algal blooms, which are made of toxic microbes that can cause damage to the nervous system or even death; and form byproducts in drinking water from disinfection chemicals, some of which have been linked with serious human illnesses like bladder cancer. Phosphorus and nitrogen pollution comes from stormwater runoff, municipal wastewater treatment, fertilization of crops, and livestock manure. Nitrogen also forms from the burning of fossil fuels. The proposed action announced today also introduces and seeks comment on a new regulatory process for setting standards in a manner that drives water quality improvements in already impaired waters. The proposed new regulatory provision, called restoration standards, would be specific to nutrients in the state of Florida. EPA will hold three public hearings on the proposed rule to obtain input and comments on the direction of EPA’s rulemaking. These hearings are scheduled for February 16, 17, and 18, 2010 in Tallahassee, Orlando, and West Palm Beach, respectively. Comments must be received on or before March 29, 2010.

January 13
Strategic Agricultural Initiative Grant Opportunities Announced
The Strategic Agricultural Initiative (SAI) is EPA's outreach program to facilitate the adoption of pest management practices that help growers reduce use of high-risk pesticides. Through its grant program, SAI helps growers adopt pest management practices that are safer and more environmentally sound, that better serve commodity groups and growers locally, and that support the implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) nationally. EPA Regions 7 and 9 are seeking applications from eligible organizations that will promote the transition to reduced-risk pest management practices in agriculture to protect human health and the environment.

EPA Announces New Regional Administrators
Today, EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced President Barack Obama’s selection of Karl Brooks to be the Agency’s Regional Administrator for EPA Region 7, and Dennis J. McLerran to be the Agency’s Regional Administrator for EPA Region 10. Regional Administrators are responsible for managing the Agency’s regional activities under the direction of the EPA Administrator. They promote state and local environmental protection efforts and serve as a liaison to state and local government officials. Regional Administrators are tasked with ensuring that EPA's efforts to address the environmental crises of today are rooted in three fundamental values: science-based policies and programs, adherence to the rule of law, and transparency.

January 11
EPA To Initiate Rulemaking on CAFOs To Reduce Water Pollution in Chesapeake Bay Watershed
EPA is initiating new federal rulemaking on stormwater and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) to reduce water pollution in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Today’s action complements ongoing work by EPA and the states to strengthen regulatory controls on major sources of pollutants consistent with shared commitments to implement the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), the limit on the amount of pollution that can flow into the Bay and its tidal creeks and rivers. EPA is taking this action to improve performance standards for controlling pollutant runoff from urban, suburban, and agricultural lands. EPA prefers to work closely with the six states in the Bay watershed and the District of Columbia to establish stronger state programs for stormwater and CAFOs to meet the pollutant reductions necessary to achieve the objectives of the Chesapeake Bay TMDL. To assist the states with permitting, enforcement, and other key regulatory activities, EPA will provide an additional $11.2 million for 2010, which more than doubles 2009 funding levels. The rulemaking will consider expanding the universe of CAFOs and requiring more stringent permit standards to control nutrients. Options for streamlining the designation process and improving off-site manure management may also be considered for the Chesapeake Bay or nationally. EPA intends to propose its rule in 2012 and to take final action by late 2013.

Source Reduction Assistance Grants Available
EPA’s Regional Pollution Prevention Program Offices (Regions) anticipate having up to $130,000 per Region to issue Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) awards in Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 to support pollution prevention/source reduction and/or resource conservation projects in FY 2011. The purpose of issuing SRA awards is to support environmental projects that reduce or eliminate pollution at the source. Collectively, the Regions are interested in funding proposals that encourage greenhouse gas reduction, toxic and hazardous materials reduction, resource conservation, efficient business practices and pollution prevention integration activities. The Regions will issue the awards in the form of grants and/or cooperative agreements. Proposals are due Thursday, February 4, 2010.

National Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center January Newsletter and Webcast Exit EPA
The January edition of the National Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center (LPELC) newsletter is available. Topics include: February Webcast: Mitigating Air Quality Issues Using Vegetative Environmental Buffers; LPE Learning Center FAQs Expanded; New Publications & Newsletters Released; Greenhouse Gases and Animal Agriculture Conference Call for Papers; and Don’t Blame Cows for Climate Change. The next live webcast, scheduled for January 15, 2010, is entitled “Coupling Manure and Cover Crops.” The speakers are Tim Harrigan, Michigan State University and Jeremy Singer, USDA ARS. They will discuss recent research on how cover crops can capture and recycle manure nutrients as well as research that mixed seed right into manure slurry to make planting/manure application in a single trip over the field.

EPA Proposes Revisions to Pesticide Tolerance Crop Grouping Regulations
EPA is proposing revisions to its pesticide tolerance crop grouping regulations, which allow establishment of tolerances for multiple related crops, based on data from a representative set of crops. The present revision would create a new crop group for oilseeds, expand existing crop groups by adding new commodities, establish new crop subgroups, and revise the representative crops in some groups. EPA expects these revisions to promote greater use of crop groupings for tolerance-setting purposes and, in particular, will assist in making available lower risk pesticides for minor crops both domestically and in countries that export food to the United States. This is the second in a series of planned crop group updates expected to be proposed over the next several years. EPA is also proposing to delete 40 CFR 180.1(h) which addresses when tolerances apply to post-harvest uses. Comments must be received on or before March 8, 2010.

Registration Review Proposed Decision Available for Bacillus Subtilis
This notice announces the availability of EPA's proposed registration review decision for the pesticide Bacillus subtilis (case 6012) and opens a public comment period on the proposed decision. The Bacillus subtilis case consists of four strains: Strain GB03; Strain MBI 600; Strain QST 713; and var. amyloliquefaciens Strain FZB24. All four strains occur ubiquitously in the environment. Comments must be received on or before February 28, 2010.

Pesticide Registration Decisions Opened for Public Comment
EPA is making its proposed registration decisions available for the following biopesticides:

January 4
Public Comment Requested on Candidate National Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Priorities for Fiscal Years 2011-2013
EPA is soliciting public comment and recommendations on enforcement and compliance national priorities to be addressed for fiscal years 2011-2013. EPA selects these priority areas every three years in order to focus federal resources on the most important environmental problems where noncompliance is a significant contributing factor. Priority candidates such as Air Toxics, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), Wetlands, Worker Protection Standards, and more are listed on EPA's National Priorities for Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Web page. Comments must be received on or before January 19, 2010.

EPA Releases Annual Enforcement Results and Mapping Tool
EPA has released enforcement results for fiscal year 2009, and has developed a new Web-based tool and interactive map that allows the public to get detailed information by location about the enforcement actions taken at approximately 4,600 facilities. In FY2009, EPA concluded enforcement actions requiring polluters to invest more than $5 billion on pollution controls, cleanup, and environmental projects. Civil and criminal defendants committed to install controls and take other measures to reduce pollution by approximately 580 million pounds annually once all required controls are fully implemented. The new mapping tool allows the public to view the locations of facilities that were the subject of those enforcement actions on interactive maps of the U.S. and territories. The maps show facilities where civil enforcement actions were taken for environmental laws for air, water, and land pollution, and a separate map shows criminal enforcement actions.

Notice of Proposal Not To Reissue NPDES General Permit for Egg Production Operations
EPA Region 6 is providing notice that the Agency does not intend to reissue the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Egg Production Operations (EPOs) in New Mexico and Oklahoma which was issued on July 18, 2002 (67 FR 47362). The permit expired on August 17, 2007 and was never reissued. At the time of permit issuance, the United Egg Producers (UEP), a farmer cooperative that represents egg producers nationwide, was in an XL Project agreement with EPA to allow eligible facilities to obtain permit coverage under a general permit. Project XL was a national pilot program that allowed state and local governments, businesses and federal facilities to develop with EPA more cost-effective ways of achieving environmental and public health protection. With this notice not to reissue the general permit, EPA is closing out this XL project as it is no longer active.

December 28
Ethylene Registration Review Docket Opened for Review and Comment
EPA has established a registration review docket for the pesticide ethylene (Docket ID# EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0877), and is opening the public comment period for this registration review. Comments must be received on or before February 26, 2010.

Grant Opportunity: Activities that Advance Methane Recovery and Use as a Clean Energy Source
The international Methane to Markets Partnership is designed to advance cost-effective, near-term methane recovery and use as a clean energy source. It provides funding for eligible projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance economic growth, promote energy security, and improve the environment. This initiative involves collaboration among developed countries, developing countries, and countries with economies in transition, together with strong participation from the private sector. The Methane to Markets Partnership targets four major methane sources: agriculture (manure management only), landfills, underground coal mines, and oil and gas systems. This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits proposals for investigation, survey, study, training, and demonstration projects (eligible projects) that advance international near-term, cost-effective methane recovery and use as a clean energy source, and support the goals of the Methane to Markets Partnership. The total estimated funding for this competitive opportunity is approximately $5,000,000. EPA anticipates awarding up to approximately 35 cooperative agreements resulting from this announcement, subject to availability of funds, the quality of proposals received, and other applicable considerations. The closing date for applications is April 15, 2010.

EPA Seeks To Disclose Pesticide Inert Ingredients
In response to two petitions seeking disclosure of selected inert ingredients on pesticide labels, EPA is initiating rulemaking to increase public availability of the identities of the inert ingredients in pesticide products. This action would assist consumers and users of pesticides in making informed decisions and reduce the presence of potentially hazardous ingredients in pesticides. Inert ingredients are part of the end use product formulation and are not active ingredients. Pesticide manufacturers usually disclose their inert ingredients only to EPA. The agency is inviting comment on various regulatory and voluntary steps to achieve this broader disclosure. Comments on the advance notice of proposed rulemaking must be received on or before February 22, 2010.

Lavandulyl Senecioate Registration Decision Opened for Public Comment
EPA is making its proposed registration decision for a new active ingredient, lavandulyl senecioate, including preliminary risk assessment and proposed labels available for comment (Docket ID# EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0044). Comments are due January 20, 2010.

December 21
Southwest Missouri Pet Supply Dealer To Pay $56,632 Penalty for Re-Labeling, Selling Misbranded Cattle and Hog Insecticide
A southwest Missouri pet supply dealer has agreed to pay a $56,632 civil penalty to the United States to settle allegations that it violated the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) by repackaging, relabeling and selling an insecticide meant for use on cattle and hogs as a flea and tick treatment for dogs. The allegations stem from findings made by the Missouri Department of Agriculture during October 2006 inspections of the company's facilities in Goodman and Buffalo, Mo. The inspections found that the company had bottled the pesticide Prolate/Lintox-HD into different packaging and sold it as another pesticide, Paramite. During the inspections, the company was ordered to immediately stop selling the repackaged pesticide. Prolate/Lintox-HD is formulated for use in the control of flies, lice, mange and ticks on cattle, and for the control of lice and mange on swine. Paramite is no longer manufactured as a flea and tick treatment for dogs.

December 18
EPA Solicits Comments on Petition Requesting Classification of all Rodenticide Products Containing Strychnine as Restricted Use Pesticides
EPA is publishing for public comment a July 9, 2009 petition from the State FIFRA Issues Research and Evaluation Group (SFIREG), available in docket number EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0815, requesting that the Agency classify all rodenticide products containing strychnine as Restricted Use Pesticides. Restricted use pesticides may only be sold to and applied by certified applicators or persons acting under the direct supervision of certified applicators. End-use pesticide products that are not classified as restricted use pesticides are considered to be unclassified. The petitioner reports that member States have noted incidents of misuse of strychnine products, including use to control "black-tailed prairie dogs and other pests not found on the product labeling." The petitioner states that uses against prairie dogs typically consist of "broadcast applications of bait products on the soil surface" and thereby increase the likelihood of primary and secondary exposures to non-target species. Comments must be received on or before March 18, 2010.

EPA Seeks Applications for Environmental Community Grants
EPA is making $2 million available in 2010 to reduce pollution at the local level through the Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) program. CARE is a community-based program that works with county and local governments, tribes, non-profit organizations and universities to help the public understand and reduce toxic risks from numerous sources. Applications for the CARE grants are due March 9, 2010. EPA will conduct three Webcasts to answer questions from prospective applicants about the application process on Feb. 2, 23, and 26, 2010 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

EPA Releases First-Ever Baseline Study of U.S. Lakes
EPA today released its most comprehensive study of the nation’s lakes to date. The draft study, which rated the condition of 56 percent of the lakes in the United States as good and the remainder as fair or poor, marked the first time EPA and its partners used a nationally consistent approach to survey the ecological and water quality of lakes. A total of 1,028 lakes were randomly sampled during 2007 by states, tribes and EPA. Nitrogen and phosphorous are found at high levels in 20 percent of lakes. Excess levels of these nutrients contribute to algae blooms, weed growth, reduced water clarity, and other lake problems. EPA is very concerned about the adverse impacts of nutrients on aquatic life, drinking water and recreation. The agency will continue to work with states to address water quality issues through effective nutrient management. EPA’s Watershed Academy will present a Webcast on the National Lakes Assessment on January 5, 2010 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST.

The FRRCC is a federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92463. The FRRCC was established in 2008 and provides independent advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range of environmental issues and policies that are of importance to agriculture and rural communities. Members serve as representatives from academia, industry (e.g., farm groups and allied industries), non-governmental organizations, and state, local, and tribal governments. Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for two-year terms with the possibility of reappointment. Applicants are encouraged to submit all nominations materials by December 31, 2009 in order to ensure fullest consideration. Parties interested in applying to serve on the Committee should pay close attention to the paragraph entitled "Submissions Procedure" towards the end of the notice and submit all required materials. It is anticipated that vacancies will be filled by spring 2010.

Registration Review Final Decision Available for Citric Acid
This notice announces the availability of EPA's final registration review decision for citric acid, case 4024. Citric acid is a food-contact and non-food contact antimicrobial pesticide used in many products for residential and public access premises. It is used as a disinfectant, fruit and vegetable wash, sanitizer, virucide, and germicide; and is an inert ingredient in other pesticide products. Citric acid is characterized by low toxicity, is biodegradable, and is found extensively in nature. A registration review decision is the Agency's determination whether a pesticide meets or does not meet the standard for registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.

December 10
EPA Reaches Agreement with Pesticide Production Facility on Clean Air Violations
EPA Region 5 has reached an agreement with a Michigan pesticide production plant for alleged Clean Air Act violations. The agreement, which includes a $70,000 penalty, resolves EPA allegations that the facility violated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The company generates methanol and uses xylene, both hazardous air pollutants, in making pesticide active ingredients at the plant.

December 9
Comment Period Extended for Pesticide Drift Labeling Guidance and Petition To Protect Children from Pesticide Spray Drift
EPA issued two related notices in the Federal Register of November 4, 2009, one concerning draft guidance on pesticide drift labeling, and one on a petition submitted to the Agency for protecting children from pesticide drift. Both notices announced the availability of the source documents and opened public comment periods of 60 days (until January 4, 2010). Today's notice extends the comment period on both notices for an additional 60 days, from January 4, 2010 to March 5, 2010.

December 8
EPA To Strengthen Oversight of Pesticide’s Impact on Children and Farmworkers
EPA has released a policy paper that describes how the Agency plans to use revised methods in conducting risk assessments for pesticide uses and exposures not governed by the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Implementing this policy will increase protections, especially for agricultural workers and children of workers in agricultural fields. The agency is asking the public to comment on the new approach and how best to implement the improvements. Under the policy, EPA risk assessments for children, farmworkers and others, would consider aggregate pesticide exposures from all sources in addition to the cumulative effects from multiple pesticides that have similar toxicity. EPA would apply an additional safety factor to protect infants and children from the risks of pesticides where the available data are incomplete. Comments must be received on or before February 8, 2010.

2008 TRI Analysis Shows Reduction in Toxic Chemical Releases
EPA is releasing its annual national analysis of the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). The TRI database contains information on chemical releases into the air, land and water, as well as waste management and pollution prevention activities. The analysis of the 2008 data, the most recent data set available, shows that 3.86 billion pounds of toxic chemicals were released into the environment, a 6 percent decrease from 2007.

December 7
EPA Finds That Greenhouse Gases Threaten Public Health and the Environment
After a thorough examination of the scientific evidence and careful consideration of public comments, EPA announced today that greenhouse gases (GHGs) threaten the public health and welfare of the American people. EPA also finds that GHG emissions from on-road vehicles contribute to that threat. EPA’s final findings respond to the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision that GHGs fit within the Clean Air Act definition of air pollutants. The findings do not in and of themselves impose any emission reduction requirements but rather allow EPA to finalize the GHG standards proposed earlier this year for new light-duty vehicles as part of the joint rulemaking with the Department of Transportation. EPA’s endangerment finding covers emissions of six key greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride – that have been the subject of scrutiny and intense analysis for decades by scientists in the United States and around the world.
