Administrative Actions

On August 4, 1983, ten days after the expiration of the period for comment on the draft EIS, the GDOT made the decision to proceed with preparation of the final EIS around the build, that is, parkway, option. The GDOT and FHWA also began preparation of a preliminary case report (PGR) pursuant to section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 to evaluate the impact of the project on historic and archeological resources. The PGR was forwarded to the United States Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) on November 3,1983. Copies of the PGR were made available for public comment. 

After a review of this preliminary report, the ACHP recommended that the GDOT and FHWA give further consideration to the Moreland Avenue termination alternative in conjunction with other transportation improvements. The 

FHWA responded that the Moreland Avenue alternative and others had been adequately considered but were not feasible or prudent. Later, the Council recommended that the parkway not be built but that the Carter Complex should be constructed on the site. The Council s written findings, forwarded to the Secretary of the USDOT on March 13,1984, were largely critical of the stated need for the project and of the attempt to link the parkway and the Complex. The FHWA responded to the comments on April 17,1984. 

On May 22,1984, the FHWA approved the final EIS. Copies of the statement were distributed to interested parties and notice of the approval was published in the Federal Register. In addition to alternatives raised in the draft EIS, the final EIS discussed MARTA, a light rail proposal, one-way pairings of streets, staggered work hours, and toll charges and provided a more detailed discussion of the Decatru Parkway alternative. 

The Department of Interior (DOI), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), individuals, and organizations submitted comments on the final EIS. The DOI decided that the statement did not adequately respond to the department s comments on the draft EIS and was not responsive to the requirements of section 4(f) (see Section 8.2). Accordingly, the department objected to section 4(f) approval of the project.

Data are scarce in mammals that link zinc concentrations in tissues with environmental zinc perturbations. In harbor porpoises, impaired homeostasis reportedly occurs when zinc exceeds 100 mg/kg FW liver however, livers of many species of marine mammals routinely exceed this value (Wood and Van Vleet 1996). Elevated zinc concentrations, in mg Zn/kg DW tissue, were >120 in cattle liver, >180 in sheep kidney, and >250 in sheep liver (Table 9.9), but their significance is unclear. No international regulations or guidelines applicable to zinc are available (USPHS 1989). No U.S. Food and Drug Administration action level or other maximum acceptable concentration exists for zinc, and therefore no Final Residue Value can be calculated (USEPA 1987). This seems to be a high priority research need. 

Past chlordane use, coupled with atmospheric transport as the major route of dissemination, produced global contamination of fish and wildlife resources and human populations. The chemical and its metabolites were frequently detected in all species examined, but usually at low concentrations. Residues in fish muscle sometimes exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration action level of 0.3 mg/kg fresh weight recommended for human health protection. In general, chlordane in animals is highest near areas where the chemical has been applied to control termites concentrations are highest in fat and liver, especially in predatory species.

Initial production from each of the 11 wells was approximately 1.5 gpm total fluid. Product production from the system was reported to average 15 barrels/day (bpd) for the first 60 days and 12 bpd for the next 60 days. Visible seepage to the canal was achieved and the state regulators dismissed further administrative action in exchange for periodic monitoring data.

Ideally, one should eliminate a toxic problem or problems by administrative interdiction, or, in other words, by removing the cause. This is rarely possible. Commonly the process that gives rise to a problem is a necessary part of production. Nevertheless, many administrative actions can be undertaken which may not totally eliminate a problem but may go far to bring it under control. Some of these are broad actions that serve to establish a frame of reference within which other actions can be implemented. Others are more specific and are directed at control of an actual problem. The principles involved are as follows ... 

Probably the first and most important administrative action is to adopt a company policy of health awareness. The attitude of top management to health awareness is reflected in the subsequent attitudes of middle management, supervisors, and the employees themselves. No program of control is going to succeed without the full cooperation of management. In order to establish the frame of reference within which further actions can be successful, it is necessary then to adopt, declare, promulgate, and publicize a formal policy of health awareness within the plant. This policy should include the following ... 

Administrative actions to control exposure to toxic materials are clearly vital, and no program of exposure control can succeed without them. They are, however, indirect, in that they do not directly affect the specific causative conditions. For direct action, we need to consider an engineering approach. This will be presented as a continuation of Step Five in the next chapter.

Directive 75/319/EEC (Amended) on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to medicinal products. 

The EEC had already in place the Coim-cil Directive 65/65/EEC on the approximation of provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative action relating to medicinal products. Many of the requirements under Coimcil Directive 65/65/EEC had already formed part of the Medicines Act. When Directives 75/318/EEC and 75/319/EEC were adopted by the Council of Ministers on 20 May 1975, they only supplemented and amended the original Directive 65/65/EEC. Therefore, when the United Kingdom joined the EEC in 1973, the provisions of these two new Directives did not substantially affect the licensing system that operated in the United...

Throughout this history, the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and his predecessors have also occupied a position that was created solely by administrative action, not by Congress. The Food and Drug Administration Act of 1988 also officially created the position of the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, and required that the Commissioner be appointed by the President and with the advice and consent of the Senate. 

Finally, through legislative and administrative action, health-protective and cost-effective risk-management decisions can be made, and regulatory actions implemented, that directly affect the starting point of our atmospheric system, that is, the primary emissions and their sources. 

Many states have now passed legislation and adopted administrative actions to establish procedures similar to the NEPA.
