FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: General: James Reynolds, General
Engineer, Office of Pipeline Safety, by phone at<PHONE_NUMBER> or via
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Technical: Gregory Ochs, Central
Region Director, Office of Pipeline Safety, by phone at<PHONE_NUMBER>
or via email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA uses FAQs and other guidance materials
to clarify the Federal pipeline safety regulations (PSRs) found in 49
CFR parts 190-199. PHMSA-developed FAQs include operator qualification
FAQs that address the PSRs in 49 CFR part 192, subpart N, and 49 CFR
part 195, subpart G. These FAQs are currently available at https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline/operator-qualifications/oq-frequently-asked-questions.
    PHMSA proposes revisions to the operator qualification FAQs by
modifying and eliminating some of the current FAQs. PHMSA requests
public comment on the proposed revisions, which were developed by a
team of PHMSA operator qualification subject matter experts (SMEs). The
proposed revisions are intended to tie each FAQ to a specific operator
qualification regulatory requirement and to eliminate obsolete FAQs.
    PHMSA created these FAQs to help the regulated community better
understand how to comply with the PSRs. Like all PHMSA guidance, FAQs
are not rules, nor do they create legally enforceable rights, assign
duties, or impose new obligations that are not contained in the
existing regulations and standards. Pipeline operators must comply with
the underlying safety standards referred to in the FAQs.
    PHMSA's operator qualification PSRs are codified in 49 CFR part
192, subpart N, and 49 CFR part 195, subpart G. PHMSA originally
developed pipeline operator qualification FAQs following a series of
public meetings in 2003. The FAQs address PHMSA's operator
qualification PSRs, which help to ensure that qualified individuals
perform covered tasks on pipeline facilities and reduce the probability
and consequences of pipeline incidents caused by human error. The PSRs
state that each pipeline operator is responsible for developing and
following an operator qualification program, establishing a covered
task list that is applicable to their system, and defining the training
and qualification requirements for personnel who perform covered tasks
on pipeline facilities. Each operator is responsible for ensuring that
its contractors and vendors comply with the requirements of the
operator's qualification program.
    PHMSA assembled a team of SMEs to develop the revised operator
qualification FAQs based on the existing FAQs, the compliance questions
received from operators and the public, and the requirements of the
code. PHMSA SMEs reviewed the 63 current FAQs to determine whether any
should be revised, added, or deleted. As a result of this review, PHMSA
proposes publishing a total of 40 FAQs for public notice. The draft
FAQs are available online on the Federal eRulemaking Portal, https://www.regulations.gov; search for Docket No. PHMSA-2020-0086. Once
finalized, PHMSA will post the revised FAQs on its public website in
place of the current FAQs.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on January 5, 2021, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0173, dated August 5, 2020
(EASA AD 2020-0173) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model
ATR72 airplanes.
    Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original
export certificate of airworthiness issued after December 12, 2019 must
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the
approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet;
this AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the
applicability.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2019-13-04, Amendment 39-19677 (84 FR
35028, July 22, 2019) (AD 2019-13-04). AD 2019-13-04 applied to certain
ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR72 airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 2, 2020 (85 FR
69272). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM proposed
to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations, as specified in an EASA AD.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking and damage
in principal structural elements, which could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Clarification of Affected Airplanes

    The applicability of the proposed AD identified the affected
airplanes as Model ATR72 airplanes. The FAA has revised the
applicability of this AD to identify model designations as published in
the most recent type certificate data sheet for the affected models.
For ATR72 airplanes, the type certificate data sheet designations are
as follows: Model ATR72-101, -102, -201, -202, -211, -212, and -212A
airplanes.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule with the
change described previously and minor editorial changes. The FAA has
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0173 describes new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits.
    This AD also requires ATR ATR72 Time Limits Document, Revision 16,
dated January 30, 2018, which the Director of the Federal Register

approved for incorporation by reference as of August 26, 2019 (84 FR
35028, July 22, 2019).
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 23 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2019-13-04 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past, the agency has estimated that this action
takes 1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance
or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new actions
to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Airworthiness Directives; American Champion Aircraft Corp. Models
7ECA, 7GCAA, 7GCBC, 7KCAB, 8KCAB, and 8GCBC Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
American Champion Aircraft Corp. Models 7ECA, 7GCAA, 7GCBC, 7KCAB,
8KCAB, and 8GCBC airplanes, manufactured prior to 1989 and equipped
with folding rear seat backs. This AD requires inspection of the rear
seat back hinge areas for cracking and excessive elongation of the rear
seat hinge bolt hole and, if cracking or excessive elongation is found,
replacement of the rear seat frame. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct cracking of the rear seat back hinge area and excessive
elongation of the rear seat hinge bolt hole, either of which could
result in failure of the seat back. This failure could lead to a rear-
seated pilot or passenger inadvertently interfering with the control
stick while attempting to not roll to the rear of the airplane upon
seat back failure. Consequently, this failure could result in loss of
control.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on December 3, 2009.
    On December 3, 2009, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this
AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On August 7, 2009, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to all American Champion Aircraft Corp. Models 7ECA, 7GCAA,
7GCBC, 7KCAB, 8KCAB, and 8GCBC airplanes, manufactured prior to 1989
and equipped with folding rear seat backs. This proposal was published
in the Federal Register as a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on
August 13, 2009 (74 FR 40781). The NPRM proposed to require inspection
of the rear seat back hinge areas for cracking and excessive elongation
of the rear seat hinge bolt hole and, if cracking or excessive
elongation is found, replacement of the rear seat frame.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the proposal or on the
determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed
except for minor editorial corrections. We have determined that these
minor corrections:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 2,000 airplanes in the U.S.
registry.

    We estimate the following costs to do the inspection:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                 Total cost   Total cost
          Labor cost              Parts cost        per        on U.S.
                                                  airplane    operators
------------------------------------------------------------------------
.5 work-hour x $80 per hour =  Not applicable.          $40      $80,000
 $40.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

     We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that may need
this replacement:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Labor cost                      Parts cost                     Total cost per airplane
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.5 work-hours x $80 per hour = $120.  Remanufactured seat      Remanufactured seat $320.
                                        $200.                   New standard seat $765.
                                       New standard seat $645.  New wide seat $885.
                                       New wide seat $765.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this AD.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD (and
other information as included in the Regulatory Evaluation) and placed
it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by sending a
request to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket
No. FAA-2009-0745; Directorate Identifier 2009-CE-036-AD'' in your
request.

    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is the agency taking?

    EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in
or on various food commodities. The Agency is taking public comment on
the requests before responding to the petitioners. EPA is not

proposing any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that
the pesticide petitions described in this document contain the data or
information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the
submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the
pesticide petitions. After considering the public comments, EPA intends
to evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data
may be needed before EPA can make a final determination on these
pesticide petitions.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petitions so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on these requests for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petitions may be obtained
through the petition summaries referenced in this unit.

III. Amended Tolerances

    1. PP 8E8665. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0162). Interregional Research
Project No. 4 (IR-4), IR-4 Project Headquarters, Rutgers, The State
University of NJ, 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ
08540, requests to amend 40 CFR 180.566 by removing the established
tolerances for residues of fenpyroximate determined by measuring only
the sum of fenpyroximate, (E)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-
phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene]amino]oxy]methyl] benzoate and its Z-
isomer, (Z)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-
4-yl)methylene]amino]oxy]methyl] benzoate, calculated as the
stoichiometric equivalent of fenpyroximate in or on the raw
agricultural commodities: Bean, snap, succulent at 0.40 parts per
million (ppm); cotton, undelinted seed at 0.10 ppm; cucumber at 0.40
ppm; nut, tree, group 14 at 0.10 ppm; and pistachio at 0.10 ppm. An
enforcement method has been developed which involves extraction of
fenpyroximate and the M-1 Metabolite from crops with ethyl acetate in
the presence of anhydrous sodium sulfate, dilution with methanol, and
then analysis by high performance LC/MS/MS. The method has undergone
independent laboratory validation as required by PR Notice 88-5 and 96-

    2. PP 8F8668. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0207). Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W.
Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 requests to amend a
tolerance in 40 CFR 180 for residues of the herbicide glufosinate-
ammonium, in or on the raw agricultural commodities olive at 0.50 ppm;
soybean hulls at 10.0 ppm; stone fruit (Crop Group 12-12) at 0.30 ppm;
and tree nuts (Crop Group 14-12) at 0.50 ppm. The LC/MS/MS method is
used to measure and evaluate the chemical glufosinate-ammonium
(ammonium (butanoic acid, 2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-
monoammonium salt) and its metabolites, 2-acetamido-4-
methylphosphinico-butanoic acid and 3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid,
expressed as 2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl) butanoic acid
equivalents. Contact: RD.

IV. New Tolerance Exemptions for Inerts (Except PIPS)

    PP IN-11127. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0289). Spring Trading Company on
behalf of Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry LLC, 525 West Van Buren,
Chicago, IL 60607-3823 requests to establish an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of maltodextrin-
vinylpyrrolidone copolymer (CAS Reg. No. 1323833-56-2), when used as an
inert ingredient in pesticide formulations under 40 CFR 180.960. The
petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because it is not
required for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.

V. New Tolerances for Non-Inerts

    1. EPA Registration Numbers: 59639-97, 59639-193, 59639-206, 59639-
