Title: National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings ; ; AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ; ; ACTION: Proposed Rule ; ; SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to amend the National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings (aerosol coatings reactivity rule), which establishes national reactivity-based emission standards for the aerosol coatings category (aerosol spray paints) under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act. This proposed action amends Table 2A of the aerosol coatings reactivity rule by adding compounds and associated reactivity factors based on petitions we received; and by clarifying which volatile organic compounds are to be quantified in compliance determinations. Additionally, we are proposing certain changes related to the notice required for a company to certify that it will assume the responsibility for compliance with record keeping and reporting requirements for a regulated entity, and taking comment on whether to change who is liable following such certification. This action also proposes minor revisions and corrections to the aerosol coatings reactivity rule. ; ; DATES: Comments must be received on or before 4 May 2009, unless a public hearing is requested by 13 April 2009. If a hearing is requested on the proposed rule, written comments must be received by 18 May 2009. ; ; Contact: ; Ms. J.

Interim Marketing Authorization regarding the use of calcium sulphate as a carrier of benzoyl peroxide in liquid whey destined for the manufacture of dried whey products, other that those for use in infant formula

Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of calcium sulphate as a carrier of benzoyl peroxide in liquid whey destined for the manufacture of dried whey products, other that those for use in infant formula, at a maximum level of use of 0.3% of dried whey products. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of calcium sulphate as a carrier of benzoyl peroxide in the production of this food product. Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of calcium sulphate as a carrier of benzoyl peroxide in liquid whey destined for the manufacture of dried whey products, other than those for use in infant formula, at a maximum level of use of 0.3% of dried whey products. As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization is being issued to permit the immediate use of calcium sulphate, as indicated above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to amend the Regulations. The proposed regulatory amendments would be enabling measures to allow the sale of additional foods containing calcium sulphate as a carrier of benzoyl peroxide. The amendments are supported by the safety assessment and would have a low impact on the economy and on the environment. Consequently, the regulatory amendments may proceed directly to final approval and publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

Products Covered: Liquid whey and dried whey products (ICS Codes 67.100, 67.220)
