Ariz. this document the Commission, there History On April 20, 1978, the FAA proposed to amend Parts 71 and 73 of the Feder al Aviation Regulations (14 CFR Parts 71 and 73) to designate a temporary restricted area identified as R-2309 in the vicinity of Bill Williams River Valley, Ariz., to contain high explosive detonations and to include this re stricted area in the continental control area for the duration of its time of designation (43 FR 16741). Interested persons were invited to participate in the rule making proceeding by submit ting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. We received two responses to the NPRM in which the commenters posed no objections to the proposal. Sections 71.151 and 73.23 were republished in the Federal Reg ister on January 3, 1978, (43 FR 344 and 664). The Rule These amendments to Parts 71 and 73 of the Federal Aviation Regulations designate a temporary restricted area in the vicinity of Bill Williams River In {73.23, the following temporary re stricted area is added: R-2309 Misers Bturr, Ariz.

DATES: The effective date of the rule declaring any household substance In a self-pressurized container containing vinyl chloride monomer to be a banned hazardous substance is June 22, 1978.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 24. 1978 the Commission published in the Federal Register, 43 FR 12308, a final regulation' pursuant to section 2(q)(l)(B> of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA), 15 U.S.C. 1261<q)(l)(B), declaring any Editorial note: The final regulation re Valley, Ariz., to protect nonparticipat 11949. and OMB Circular A-107. vised 16 CFR 1500.17(a)(10). ! 1 * FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 43, NO. 104--TUESDAY, MAY 30, 1978 I DTH 00001746 9 RULES AND REGULATIONS 22937 self-pressurized products Intended or suitable for household use. manufac tured or imported on or after October 7, 1974. that contain vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) as an ingredient or in the propellant to be "banned hazard ous substances." The final regulation was a reissuance of an earlier fully ret roactive ban (39 FR 30112) that had been set aside for failure to hold a hearing on objections to the retroac tive effect of 'the regulation. (For a complete background discussion on the original ban, see the preamble to the March 24.1978 notice.) In the March 24, 1978 document the Commission affirmed its determina tion made in the original ban that selfpressurized household products con taining vinyl chloride monomer are toxic hazardous substances within the meaning of the FHSA because of vinyl chloride monomer, which, when in haled, has the capacity to produce substantial illness, specifically cancer. Because no safe level of human expo sure to vinyl chloride monomer has been established, the Commission fur ther affirmed its earlier finding that adequate cautionary labeling could not be written under the FHSA for self-pressurized household products containing VCM and concluded that the degree and nature of the hazard presented by the use of these products is such that the public health and safety can be adequately served only by keeping the products out of inter state commerce. In taking the banning action, the Commission noted that ample scientific evidence in the form of long-term animal bioassays and human epidemiological studies is avail able to demonstrate the carcinogen icity of vinyl chloride monomer by in halation and to demonstrate that human exposure to the substance can result in angiosarcoma of the liver, a rare form of liver cancer. The March 24, 1978 banning regula tion also provided, as is required for the issuance of regulations pursuant to section 2(q)(l)(B) of the FHSA. that the procedures for rulemaking under section 701(e) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act would govern and that adversely affected persons could file objections and re quests for a public hearing within 30 days of the publication of the Commis sion's final order. The last day for the filing of objec tions with the Commission was April 24.1978. Since no objections have been filed within the statutary period, the Commission in this document con firms its final order of March 24, 1978, declaring as banned hazardous sub stances any self-pressurized household products containing vinyl chloride monomer as an ingredient or in the propellant, manufactured or imported on or after October 7, 1974.

ACTION: Finding of dumping; final rule. SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that separate investigations conducted under the Antidumping Act, 1921, as amended, by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Inter national Trade Commission, respec tively. have resulted in determinations that carbon steel plate from Japan is being sold at less than fair value and that those sales are injuring an indus try in the United States. On this basis, a finding of dumping is being issued and, generally, all unappraised entries of this merchandise will be liable for the possible assessment of special dumping duties.

Section 201(a) of the Antidumping Act. 1921, as amended (19 U.S.C. 160(a)), gives the Secretary of the Treasury responsibility for determin ing whether Imported merchandise is being sold at less than fair value. Pur suant to this authority the Secretary of the Treasury has determined that carbon steel plate from Japan is being sold at less than fair value within the meaning of section 201(a) of the Anti dumping Act, 1921, as amended (19 U.S.C. 160(a)). (Published in the Fed eral Register of January 13, 1978 (43 FR 2032).) An "Amended Determina tion of Sales at Less Than Fair Value" was published In the Federal Register of March 27, 1978 (43 FR 12780).
