EPA may identify additional actions for reopening or extending

This document extends the public comment period for the notice
``1,3-Butadiene; Draft Risk Evaluation Under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA); Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) Peer
Review; Notice of SACC Meeting, Availability of Draft Documents and
Request for Comment'' established in the Federal Register document of
December 3, 2024 (89 FR 957790) (FRL-12241-02-OCSPP), for 30 days. In
that document, EPA announced the availability of and solicited public
comment on the draft risk evaluation for 1,3-butadiene. The draft risk
evaluation was prepared under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
and will be submitted to the Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals
(SACC) for peer review. EPA also announced that there will be two
virtual public meetings of the SACC: On February 4, 2025, a preparatory
meeting for the SACC to consider the scope and clarity of the draft
charge questions for the peer review; and on February 25 through 28,
2025, the peer review meeting for the SACC to consider the draft
documents and public comments. Both public meetings will be
rescheduled.
This document extends the public comment period for the notice
``Atrazine; Updated Proposed Mitigation for the Interim Registration
Review Decision; Notice of Availability and Request for Comment''
established in the Federal Register document of December 5, 2024 (89 FR
96650) (FRL-9941-02-OCSPP), for 60 days. In that document, EPA
announced the availability of and requested comment on EPA's proposed
updates to the mitigation in the interim registration review decision
for atrazine (Case Number 0062). The updated mitigation proposal for
atrazine reflected in the memorandum released for comment incorporated
the revised level of concern of 9.7 micrograms per liter ([micro]g/L)
as well as corrections to exposure modeling and feedback received
during the 2022 public comment period. EPA released its updated
mitigation proposal to reduce run-off/erosion, which will expand the
number of options of mitigation measures growers can choose to
implement to reduce potential exposure and risk to aquatic plant
communities from atrazine runoff in vulnerable watersheds. The proposal
includes placing mitigations on the product labeling, directing users
to EPA's mitigation menu website and to the Bulletins Live! Two system.
The Agency is not soliciting comment on any other aspects of the
atrazine interim registration review decision.
This document extends the public comment period for the notice
``National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 2026 Issuance
of the Multi-Sector General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated
With Industrial Activity'' established in the Federal Register document
of December 12, 2024 (89 FR 101000) (FRL 11244-01-OW), for 60 days. In
that document, all 10 EPA Regions proposed for public comment the 2026
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit
for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity, also
referred to as the ``2026 Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP)'' or the
``proposed permit.'' The proposed permit once finalized will replace
the EPA's existing MSGP that expires on February 28, 2026. The EPA
proposed to issue this permit for five (5) years. Once finalized, this
permit will be available in areas where the EPA is the NPDES
[[Page 8800]]
permitting authority. The EPA solicits comment on all aspects of the
proposed general permit and seeks public comment on specific requests
for information as described in the document. The public is encouraged
to read the proposed permit fact sheet to better understand the
proposed permit requirements.
EPA is extending these comment periods to allow interested parties
additional time to thoroughly review and analyze how these notices may
impact parties potentially subject to them. Comments previously
submitted need not be resubmitted as they are already incorporated into
the public record and will be considered in the final action as
appropriate. Where appropriate, the Agency may consider further
extending the comment period for the above referenced actions. To
submit comments, or access the docket, please follow the detailed
instructions provided under ADDRESSES. If you have questions, consult
the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
James Payne,
Acting Administrator.
