    Title: Distribution of Offsite Consequence Analysis Information
under Section 112(r)(7)(H) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (Renewal).
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1981.04, OMB Control No. 2050-0172.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2010.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112(r)(7) required EPA to
promulgate reasonable regulations and appropriate guidance to provide
for the prevention and detection of accidental releases and for
responses to such releases. The regulations include requirements for
submittal of a risk management plan (RMP) to EPA. The RMP includes
information on offsite consequence analyses (OCA) as well as other
elements of the risk management program.
    On August 5, 1999, the President signed the Chemical Safety
Information, Site Security, and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act
(CSISSFRRA). The Act required the President to promulgate regulations
on the distribution of OCA information (CAA section 112(r)(7)(H)(ii)).
The President delegated to EPA and the Department of Justice (DOJ) the
responsibility to promulgate regulations to govern the dissemination of
OCA information to the public. The final rule was published on August
4, 2000 (65 FR 48108). The regulations imposed minimal requirements on
the public, state and local agencies that request OCA data from EPA.
The state

and local agencies who decide to obtain OCA information must send a
written request on their official letterhead to EPA certifying that
they are covered persons under Public Law 106-40, and that they will
use the information for official use only. EPA will then provide paper
copies of OCA data to those agencies as requested. The rule authorizes
and encourages state and local agencies to set up reading rooms. The
local reading rooms would provide read-only access to OCA information
for all the sources in the LEPC's jurisdiction and for any source where
the vulnerable zone extends into the LEPC's jurisdiction.
    Members of the public requesting to view OCA information at federal
reading rooms would be required to sign in and self certify. If asking
for OCA information from federal reading rooms for the facilities in
the area where they live or work, they would be required to provide
proof that they live or work in that area. Members of the public are
required to give their names, telephone number, and the names of the
facilities for which OCA information is being requested, when they
contact the central office to schedule an appointment to view OCA
information.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average
approximately 2 hours per response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: State and local agencies and the
public.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,155.
    Frequency of Response: Annual, On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,330 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $322,095, which includes $100 annual
O&M cost.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is slight decrease in burden and
costs from the previous ICR due to updated data on the number of people
visiting the reading rooms to obtain OCA data, therefore reducing the
burden on state and local agencies to provide the data.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31085; Amdt. No. 3703]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective August 4, 2016. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of August 4, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd. Oklahoma City,
OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4,

8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as Amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,1979); and
(3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

* * * * *
    (a) Every member, broker or dealer subject to Sec.  240.17a-3 must
preserve for a period of not less than 6 years, the first two years in
an easily accessible place, all records required to be made pursuant to
Sec.  240.17a-3(a)(1) through (3), (5), and (21) and (22), and

which they relate. If an office is a private residence where only one
associated person (or multiple associated persons who reside at that
location and are members of the same immediate family) regularly
conducts business, and it is not held out to the public as an office
nor are funds or securities of any customer of the member, broker or
dealer handled there, the member, broker or dealer need not maintain
records at that office, but the records must be maintained at another
location within the same State as the member, broker or dealer may
select. Rather than maintain the records at each office, the member,
broker or dealer may choose to produce the records promptly at the
request of a representative of a securities regulatory authority at the
office to which they relate or at another location agreed to by the
representative.

shall call it to the attention of the chief financial officer of the
OTC derivatives dealer, who shall inform the Commission by telegraphic
or facsimile notice within 24 hours thereafter as set forth in Sec.
240.17a-11. The OTC derivatives dealer shall also furnish the certified
public accountant with a copy of said notice to the Commission by
telegram or facsimile within the same 24 hour period. If the certified
public accountant fails to receive such notice from the OTC derivatives

1 September 30, 2004 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Zinc Pyrithione Ecological Hazard and Environmental Risk Characterization Chapter for the Reregistration Eligibility Decision ( RED) Document ( D309561)

FROM: Kathryn Montague, M. S., Biologist Risk Assessment and Science Support Branch Antimicrobials Division ( 7510C)

THRU: Rick Petrie, Team Leader Norm Cook, Branch Chief Risk Assessment and Science Support Branch Antimicrobials Division ( 7510C)

Attached is the Zinc Pyrithione ecological hazard and environmental risk characterization for incorporation into the RED document. This has been revised from the April, 2004, version, per error correction and public comments. 2 ZINC Pyrithione ( Zinc 2 pyridinethiol 1 oxide)( 088002)

Ecological Hazard Assessment and Environmental Risk Characterization Executive Summary:

Zinc pyrithione is a bacteriostat, fungicide, microbiocide/ microbiostat registered for preservative uses in food packaging adhesives, food packaging materials, conveyor belts, and repeat use polymeric food contact materials ( indoor food), control of bacterial growth on laundered products ( indoor nonfood), preservation of adhesives, caulks, patching compounds, sealants, grouts, latex paints, coatings, dry wall, gypsum, pearlite, plaster ( indoor nonfood), and ductwork ( HVAC use). Zinc pyrithione is also used for the control of mildew in nonfood contact polymers and control of mildew and bacteria in styrene butadiene rubber and thermoplastic resins ( e. g. air ducts). Materials preservation extends to in can preservation of clay, mineral, pigment and guar gum slurries, latex emulsions, and similar high solids aqueous media. Zinc pyrithione is also conditionally registered as an antifoulant for incorporation as an active ingredient into boat paints.

The ecological effects database for zinc pyrithione is adequate to support the indoor uses considered in this RED. Zinc pyrithione is moderately toxic to birds via acute oral exposure, and slightly toxic to practically non toxic to birds via dietary exposure. It is also acutely toxic to mammals via oral ingestion ( Toxicity Category II). Zinc pyrithione is very highly toxic on an acute basis to freshwater and marine fish and invertebrates, as well as to aquatic plant species. It also causes adverse impacts on freshwater and marine invertebrate reproduction and growth at very low levels.

Due to the high toxicity of the parent compound to aquatic organisms, coupled with the parent compound's tendency to break down fairly rapidly into more persistent degradates in aquatic systems, aquatic organism acute toxicity tests with two major degradates of zinc pyrithione were submitted. These data indicate that both pyridine sulfonic acid and pyrithione sulfonic acid are only slightly toxic to practically non toxic to freshwater and marine/ estuarine fish and invertebrates and aquatic plants.

Zinc pyrithione caused impacts on growth and reproduction to several species of aquatic organisms in laboratory studies, at levels slightly below the LC 50. These types of effects suggest that zinc pyrithione is a potential endocrine disruptor. EPA is required under the FFDCA, as amended by FQPA, to develop a screening program to determine whether certain substances ( including all pesticide active and other ingredients) " may have an effect in humans that is similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen, or other such endocrine effects as the Administrator may designate." Following the recommendations of its Endocrine Disruptor 3 Screening and Testing Advisory Committee ( EDSTAC), EPA determined that there was scientific basis for including, as part of the program, the androgen and thyroid hormone systems, in addition to the estrogen hormone system. EPA also adopted EDSTAC's recommendation that the Program include evaluations of potential effects in wildlife. For pesticide chemicals, EPA will use FIFRA and, to the extent that effects in wildlife may help determine whether a substance may have an effects in humans, FFDCA authority to require the wildlife evaluations. As the science develops and resources allow, screening of additional hormone systems may be added to the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program ( EDSP). Appropriate endocrine disruption screening and/ or testing protocols have not yet been validated. When such tests have been validated, Arch will evaluate zinc pyrithione in such assays ( G. Schiffliti, pers. comm.).

Environmental exposure modeling was not conducted for the indoor uses of zinc pyrithione considered in this RED. Exposure to terrestrial and aquatic organisms and plants is expected to be minimal from these indoor uses. Therefore, a full ecological risk assessment was not conducted for this RED. Risk to birds, mammals, fish, aquatic invertebrates, and plants, including Endangered species, is not anticipated from the indoor uses of zinc pyrithione. The ecological risks from the time limited antifoulant paint use will be evaluated later, following a review of the recently submitted ecotoxicity studies.

An environmental risk assessment for antifouling paints was not included in the reregistration eligibility decision document. AD has recently received 5 new studies conducted by Arch in support of zinc pyrithione registration as an antifoulant, and these studies are currently in review. Once the data have been reviewed and found acceptable, a reassessment of the environmental risks associated with the antifouling paint uses of zinc pyritione will be conducted, and will include revised environmental modeling as well as endpoints from the recently conducted studies.

I. Toxicity to Terrestrial Animals A. Birds, Acute and Subacute 1. Zinc Pyrithione parent compound An acute oral toxicity study using the technical grade of the active ingredient is required to establish the toxicity of a pesticide to birds. The preferred test species is either mallard duck or bobwhite quail. Results of this test are tabulated below.

Table 1. Avian Acute Oral Toxicity of Zinc Pyrithione Species % a. i. LD50 ( mg/ kg) 95 % c. i. NOAEL Toxicity category MRID No. Author/ Yea r Study Classificatio n 4 Northern bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus) 96 60 ( 44  81) < 31.2 moderately toxic 43864611 Campbell/ 1993 Core These results indicate that zinc pyrithione is moderately to avian species on an acute oral basis. The guideline requirement ( 71 1/ OPPTS 850.2100) is fulfilled ( MRID# 43864611).

Two subacute dietary studies using the technical grade of the active ingredient are required to establish the toxicity of a pesticide to birds. The preferred test species are mallard duck ( a waterfowl) and bobwhite quail ( an upland gamebird). Results of avian subacute dietary tests are tabulated below.

The guideline requirement ( 71 2/ OPPTS 850.2200) is fulfilled ( MRID # 43864610, 43864612).

B. Birds, Chronic Avian reproduction studies using the technical grade of the active ingredient are required for a pesticide when any of the following conditions are met: ( 1) birds may be subject to repeated or continuous exposure to the pesticide, especially preceding or during the breeding season, ( 2) the pesticide is stable in the environment to the extent that potentially toxic amounts may persist in animal feed, ( 3) the pesticide is stored or accumulated in plant or animal tissues, and/ or, ( 4) information derived from mammalian reproduction studies indicates reproduction in terrestrial vertebrates may be adversely affected by the anticipated use of the product. The currently registered uses of zinc pyrithione do not require avian reproduction testing. No avian reproduction data is available for zinc pyrithione.

C. Mammals, Acute and Chronic Wild mammal testing is required on a case by case basis, depending on the results of lower tier laboratory mammalian studies, intended use pattern and pertinent environmental fate 5 characteristics. In most cases, rat or mouse toxicity values obtained from studies conducted to support data requirements for human health risk assessment substitute for wild mammal testing. These toxicity values are reported in the table below.

D. Insects A honey bee acute contact study using the technical grade of the active ingredient is not required for the currently registered uses of zinc pyrithione.

E. Terrestrial Field Testing Terrestrial field testing is not required for the currently registered uses of zinc pyrithione.

II. Toxicity to Freshwater Aquatic Animals A. Freshwater Fish, Acute 1. Parent compound Two freshwater fish toxicity studies using the technical grade of the active ingredient are required to establish the toxicity of a pesticide to fish. The preferred test species are rainbow trout ( a coldwater fish) and bluegill sunfish ( a warmwater fish). Results of these tests are tabulated below.

The guideline requirement ( 72 1/ OPPTS 850.1075) is fulfilled ( MRID# 43864616, 43864618).

B. Freshwater Fish, Chronic A freshwater fish early life stage test using the technical grade of the active ingredient is required for a pesticide when it may be applied directly to water or if the end use product is expected to be transported to water from the intended use site, and any of the following conditions are met: ( 1) the pesticide is intended for use such that its presence in water is likely to be continuous or recurrent regardless of toxicity, ( 2) any aquatic acute LC50 or EC50 is less than 1 mg/ l, ( 3) the EEC in water is equal to or greater than 0.01 of any acute LC50 or EC50 value, or, ( 4) the actual or estimated environmental concentration in water resulting from use is less than 0.01 of any acute LC50 or EC50 value and any one of the following conditions exist: studies of other organisms indicate the reproductive physiology of fish may be affected, physicochemical properties indicate cumulative effects, or the pesticide is persistent in water ( e. g., half life greater than 4 days). The preferred test species is rainbow trout, but other species may be used.. Freshwater fish early life stage testing is required for zinc omadine and its major degradates due to the very high acute toxicity of parent zinc omadine to freshwater fish. The results of this testing is summarized below:

D. Freshwater Invertebrate, Chronic A freshwater aquatic invertebrate life cycle test using the technical grade of the active ingredient is required for a pesticide if the end use product may be applied directly to water or expected to be transported to water from the intended use site, and any of the following conditions are met: ( 1) the pesticide is intended for use such that its presence in water is likely to be continuous or recurrent regardless of toxicity, ( 2) any aquatic acute LC50 or EC50 is less than 1 mg/ l, or, ( 3) the EEC in water is equal to or greater than 0.01 of any acute EC50 or LC50 value, or, ( 4) the actual or estimated environmental concentration in water resulting from use is less than 0.01 of any aquatic acute EC50 or LC50 value and any of the following conditions exist: studies of other organisms indicate the reproductive physiology of invertebrates may be affected, physicochemical properties indicate cumulative effects, or the pesticide is persistent in water ( e. g., half life greater than 4 days). The preferred test species is Daphnia magna. Freshwater aquatic invertebrate lifecycle testing was required for zinc pyrithione due to the likelihood of runoff from the application sites, the likelihood of repeated or continuous exposure from multiple applications, and the high acute toxicity to freshwater invertebrates. Results of this test are tabulated below. 10 Table 11.

E. Freshwater Field Studies No freshwater field studies were submitted for zinc pyrithione.

III. Toxicity to Estuarine and Marine Animals A. Estuarine and Marine Fish, Acute 1. Parent Acute toxicity testing with estuarine/ marine fish using the technical grade of the active ingredient is required for a chemical when the end use product is intended for direct application to the marine/ estuarine environment or the active ingredient is expected to reach this environment because of its use in coastal counties. The preferred test species is sheepshead minnow.

The guideline requirement ( 72 3a/ OPPTS 850.1025) is fulfilled ( MRID # 43864605).

2. Degradates Zinc pyrithione has two major degradates, pyridine sulfonic acid and pyrithione sulfonic acid. Two marine/ estuarine fish acute toxicity studies using these degradates were submitted. 11 Table 13.

The guideline requirement ( 72 3a/ OPPTS 850.1025) is fulfilled ( MRID # 43864617).

B. Estuarine and Marine Fish, Chronic Estuarine/ marine fish early life stage testing is not required for the currently registered uses of zinc pyrithione. The freshwater fish early life stage test, which is required, should provide an adequate endpoint for use in future risk assessments, since freshwater fish species appear to be more sensitive to zinc pyrithione than marine/ estuarine species.

C. Estuarine and Marine Invertebrates, Acute 1. Parent Compound Acute toxicity testing with estuarine/ marine invertebrates using the technical grade of the active ingredient is required for a pesticide when the end use product is intended for direct application to the marine/ estuarine environment or the active ingredient is expected to reach this environment because of its use in coastal counties. The preferred test species are mysid shrimp and eastern oyster. Results of these tests are tabulated below. 12 Table 15: Acute Toxicity of Zinc Pyrithione ( parent) to Estuarine/ Marine Invertebrates Species % ai. 96 hour LC50/ EC50 ( ppb) ( 95% c. i.)

D. Estuarine and Marine Invertebrate, Chronic An estuarine/ marine invertebrate life cycle toxicity test is required for a pesticide if the end use product may be applied directly to water or expected to be transported to water from the intended use site, and any of the following conditions are met: ( 1) the pesticide is intended for use such that its presence in water is likely to be continuous or recurrent regardless of toxicity, ( 2) any aquatic acute LC50 or EC50 is less than 1 mg/ l, or, ( 3) the EEC in water is equal to or greater than 0.01 of any acute EC50 or LC50 value, or, ( 4) the actual or estimated environmental concentration in water resulting from use is less than 0.01 of any aquatic acute EC50 or LC50 value and any of the following conditions exist: studies of other organisms indicate the reproductive physiology of invertebrates may be affected, physicochemical properties indicate cumulative effects, or the pesticide is persistent in water ( e. g., half life greater than 4 days). Estuarine/ marine invertebrate life cycle testing was submitted for zinc pyrithione.

Estuarine and Marine Field Studies No estuarine or marine field study data is available for zinc pyrithione.

IV. Toxicity to Plants A. Terrestrial Currently, terrestrial plant testing is not required for pesticides other than herbicides except on a case by case basis ( e. g., labeling bears phytotoxicity warnings, incidents of plant damage have been reported, or literature indicating phytotoxicity is available). Terrestrial plant testing is not required for zinc pyrithione.

B. Aquatic Aquatic plant testing is not required for pesticides other than herbicides except on a case by case basis ( e. g., labeling bears phytotoxicity warnings, incidents have been reported involving plants, or literature is available that indicates phytotoxicity). Since algae is a target pest for zinc pyrithione, aquatic plant toxicity testing was required. Tier II data were submitted on the freshwater green alga Selenastrum capricornutum for parent zinc pyrithione and the major degradates, pyridine sulfonic acid and pyrithione sulfonic acid. The results of these tests are tabulated below.

1. Parent Compound Table 19: Acute Toxicity of Zinc Pyrithione ( parent) to Alga and Aquatic Plants Species % ai. 96 hour LC50/ EC50 ( ppb) ( 95% c. i.)

No further aquatic plant testing is required for this degradate of zinc pyrithione.

V. Environmental Exposure and Risk Environmental exposure modeling was not conducted for the indoor uses ( materials preservative) of zinc pyrithione considered in this RED. Exposure to terrestrial and aquatic organisms and plants is expected to be minimal from these indoor uses. Therefore, a full ecological risk assessment was not conducted for this RED. Risk to birds, mammals, fish, aquatic invertebrates, and plants is not anticipated from the indoor uses of zinc pyrithione.

An environmental risk assessment for antifouling paints was not included in the reregistration eligibility decision document. AD has recently received 5 new studies conducted by Arch in support of zinc pyrithione registration as an antifoulant, and these studies are currently in review. 16 Once the data have been reviewed and found acceptable, a reassessment of the environmental risks associated with the antifouling paint uses of zinc pyritione will be conducted, and will include revised environmental modeling as well as endpoints from the recently conducted studies.

VI. Endangered Species Considerations The Agency has developed the Endangered Species Protection Program to identify pesticides whose use may cause adverse impacts on endangered and threatened species, and to implement mitigation measures that address these impacts. The Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to ensure that their actions are not likely to jeopardize listed species or adversely modify designated critical habitat. To analyze the potential of registered pesticide uses to affect any particular species, EPA puts basic toxicity and exposure data developed for risk assessments into context for individual listed species and their locations by evaluating important ecological parameters, pesticide use information, the geographic relationship between specific pesticide uses and species locations, and biological requirements and behavioral aspects of the particular species. A determination that there is a likelihood of potential impact to a listed species may result in limitations on use of the pesticide, other measures to mitigate any potential impact, or consultations with the Fish and Wildlife Service and/ or the National Marine Fisheries Service as necessary.

Based on the low likelihood of environmental exposure from the registered indoor uses, adverse impacts to endangered species are not expected from the registered uses of zinc pyrithione. The ecological risks from the time limited antifoulant paint use will be evaluated later, following a review of the recently submitted ecotoxicity studies.

    2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
     Identify this permit by docket number and other
identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date, and
page number).
     Where possible, respond to specific questions or organize
comments by referencing a section or part of this permit.
     Explain why you agree or disagree, suggest alternatives,
and suggest substitute language for your requested changes.
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
     If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how
you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
     Explain your views as clearly as possible.
     To ensure that EPA can read, understand, and therefore
properly respond to comments, the Agency would prefer that commenters
cite, where possible, the paragraph(s) or section in the fact sheet or
permit to which each comment refers.

II. Extension of Comment Period for Draft CGP

A. Draft CGP

    On April 25, 2011, EPA announced in the Federal Register the
publication of proposed modifications to the next iteration of its CGP.
See 79 FR 22882. The Federal Register notice provided summary details
of the changes in the proposed permit, as compared to the existing CGP,
and the supporting legislative and regulatory background behind these
modifications. A key difference between the draft CGP and past versions
of the permit is the fact that for the first time EPA's permit is
required to include new requirements promulgated by the Agency in its
Construction and Development Effluent Limitations Guidelines and New
Source Performance Standards, also referred to as the ``C&D rule''.
Copies of the draft permit are available on EPA's Web site at http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/cgp.cfm. More information regarding
EPA's C&D rule can be found at http://water.epa.gov/scitech/wastetech/guide/construction/index.cfm.

B. Extension of Comment Period

    EPA is extending the deadline for submitting comments on the draft
CGP to July 11, 2011. The original deadline for comments, based on a
60-day comment period, was June 24, 2011. EPA's decision responds to a
request from several organizations to extend the comment deadline in
order to provide a longer period of time in which to provide comments.
EPA is hopeful that this 17-day extension, although not as long as the
60-day extension that at least one organization requested, will assist
in providing an adequate amount of additional time for these
organizations as well as other members of the public to review the
draft permit and to provide written comments.
