<	Pursuant to section 408(d)(2)(A)(i) of  FFDCA, as amended, [SummerSet
Products] has submitted the following summary of information, data, and
arguments in support of their pesticide petition. This summary was
prepared by [SummerSet Products c/o SciReg, Inc., 12733 Director’s
Loop, Woodbridge, VA., 22192] and EPA has not fully evaluated the merits
of the pesticide petition. The summary may have been edited by EPA if
the terminology used was unclear, the summary contained extraneous
material, or the summary unintentionally made the reader conclude that
the findings reflected EPA’s position and not the position of the
petitioner.>

<I. [SummerSet Products]  Petition Summary>

<	[84069-R]>

<A. Product Name and Proposed Use Practices>

<	[SummerSet AllDown Herbicide with acetic acid as an active ingredient
will be used undiluted at 1 gallon/1000 sq. ft. as a post-emergence
herbicide in flowerbeds, vegetable gardens, around trees and shrubs,
along fence lines, patios, driveways, sidewalks, fruit trees, vines, and
other areas where weed control is desired.]>

<B. Product Identity/Chemistry>

<	1. Identity of the pesticide and corresponding residues. [Acetic acid
is a naturally-occurring chemical commonly found as an integral part of
basic metabolic pathways in mammals and plants. Acetic acid, as vinegar,
is also commonly consumed in a multitude of human and animal food
products. No residues are expected.]>

<	2. Magnitude of residues at the time of harvest and method used to
determine the residue. [No magnitude of residue (MOR) studies have been
conducted on acetic acid, as it is a naturally-occurring chemical
commonly found as an integral part of basic metabolic pathways in
mammals and plants. As a tolerance exemption is being sought, no
magnitude of the residue studies or residue analytical methods are being
submitted.]>

<	3. A statement of why an analytical method of detecting and measuring
the levels of the pesticide residue are not needed. [A tolerance
exemption is being sought for acetic acid.]

>

<C. Mammalian Toxicological Profile>

<	[Acute Oral Toxicity – Reported LD50s for acetic acid range between
3000 mg/Kg of body weight (bwt) to greater than 4000 mg/Kg bwt, placing
acetic acid in Toxicity Category III.>

Acute Dermal Toxicity – The acute dermal LD50 for acetic acid is
reported as 1060 mg/Kg bwt universally (Toxicity Category II).

Acute Inhalation Toxicity – Data reporting inhalation toxicity are
reported several ways. Two sources reported slightly different
inhalation information. The first reported an inhalation LC50 of 5620
ppm/one hour.  The other reported that at 11.4 mg/Liter for one hour,
acetic acid was classified as Toxicity Category III (no clear
explanation was offered how this classification was determined).
Concentrated acetic acid affects mucous membranes and would be expected
to have an impact if directly inhaled.

Acute Eye Irritation – It is common knowledge that vinegar (acetic
acid) is irritating to the eye. Acetic acid is irritating and corrosive
to rabbit eyes and is classified in Toxicity Category I.

Acute Dermal Irritation – Reports on tests with acetic acid on rabbit
skin all indicate that concentrated acetic acid may cause pain,
irritation and burns, especially to mucous membranes. Although not
specified, these studies likely place concentrated acetic acid into
Toxicity Category I or II.

Skin Sensitization – Sensitization may result from repeated exposure,
but is a rare consequence of exposure.

Genotoxicity – Mutagenicity assays (Ames testing) with acetic have
been reported as negative through TOXNET.

Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity –  Reports of three studies
that examined the effects of acetic acid on development and reproduction
of mice, rats, and rabbits.

“No effects on nidation or maternal or fetal survival were observed at
doses up to 1600 mg/kg bw/day. The number of abnormalities seen in
either soft or skeletal tissues of the test groups did not differ from
the number occurring in the controls.”

Results were identical for all three studies.

Subchronic Toxicity – Acetic acid is a naturally occurring food acid
found in plants and animals. Acetic acid (as vinegar) is ingested with a
wide variety of foods and used as a food additive (e.g., salad
dressing). Starting materials in AllDown herbicide are food grade and as
such can be used in or on food. The concentration of acetic acid in the
formulated herbicide product (8.0 %) falls within the range of 3-8%
normally associated with concentrations of acetic acid found in vinegar.
Nothing in the literature indicates that acetic acid will have any
adverse toxicological effects, and no subchronic effects are expected
from exposure to this active ingredient.

Chronic Toxicity – No chronic toxicity has been associated with
consumption of or exposure to acetic acid (vinegar) at concentrations
between three and eight percent. Chronic effects would not be expected
in view of the probable lack of subchronic effects discussed above.

Carcinogenicity – The National Toxicology Program (NTP) does not list
acetic acid as a known or anticipated carcinogen. IARC has not
classified acetic acid as a carcinogen. There are no other known
literature sources that suggest that acetic acid may be carcinogenic.

Animal Metabolism/Metabolite Toxicology – Acetic acid is an inherent
part of the Krebs/Citric Acid Cycle in both plants and animals. It is an
integral part of the pathway found in living organisms that breaks down
sugars, fats and proteins to release the energy they store. Metabolites
of acetic acid would be expected to be incorporated into the normal
metabolism of the exposed organism. Toxic metabolites or breakdown
products of toxicological concern would not be produced.]

<D. Aggregate Exposure>

<	1. Dietary exposure. [Acetic acid is a food acid and occurs naturally
in plants and animals. It is commonly consumed, rapidly metabolized, and
is part of the normal metabolic pathways of both plants and animals.
Therefore, it is unlikely that exposure to acetic acid would have any
negative impact on human health.]>

<	i. Food. [This acid plays a key role in allowing living organisms to
access acquired energy stored in the form of fats, proteins, and
carbohydrates. Acetic acid combines with a coenzyme “CoA” as it
enters the Krebs/Citric acid metabolic pathway. The Krebs Cycle plays a
key role in generating energy-charged organic molecules used by all
cells to carry on life functions. The general population encounters
acetic acid in the form of vinegar at concentrations between 3% and 8%.
FDA designates acetic acid as a chemical that is generally recognized as
safe (GRAS) when added to foods (21 CFR 184.1005).

With AllDown (used as directed), acetic acid is applied at a
concentration of 8.0%.

At the application rate of 1 gal/1000 sq. ft. of spray solution, the
expected acetic acid rate per square inch of weed plant surface will be
0.026 ml of product, or 0.0021 ml of acetic acid. AllDown is a contact
herbicide, and herbicide application to non-target plants must be
avoided. Therefore, only accidental application or extremely small
amounts of spray drift are anticipated on any desirable crop, especially
agricultural crops. Dietary exposure to acetic acid, when used according
to label directions, will not pose a threat to mammals, humans or the
environment. Residues, if they were present, are not of toxicological
significance. Further, it is expected that acetic acid will rapidly
break down in the environment.]>

<	ii. Drinking water. [Acetic acid is not considered to be a risk to
drinking water. Acetic acid is rapidly broken down and metabolized by
organisms and municipal treatment of drinking water would reduce or
eliminate the possibility of exposure through drinking water. Typical
agricultural practices are carried out such that spray drift is
minimized. This is especially true with AllDown as it is a contact
herbicide and will cause damage to desirable plants if sprayed. Although
possible minimal spray drift may contact drinking water, natural and
water treatment steps would further reduce or eliminate the possibility
of exposure via potable water. The end-use product, SummerSet AllDown
Herbicide, is prohibited by the label from direct application to water
and, therefore, is not expected to be present at significant
concentrations in aquatic environments.]>

<	2. Non-dietary exposure. [Non-dietary exposure to acetic acid will
come through use of vinegar as a cleaner, and through inadvertent
exposure during application. At spray application concentrations,
precautions to be taken are the same as would be taken when handling
grocery store vinegar. Acetic acid is not totally benign (see toxicology
discussion above).  All appropriate and required precautionary
statements are found on the product label that are necessary to protect
residential and commercial applicators. Based on the use patterns, the
potential for exposure for the general population (including children)
is negligible.

Application equipment will include handheld spray bottles, hand-wand
sprayers, and small field sprayers. Application of herbicides through
this type of equipment is not known to have a high potential for
operator exposure. In addition, protective clothing is required in
accordance with the regulations based on Toxicity Category
classifications.]>

<E. Cumulative Effects>

<	[Exposure of the general population (estimated at higher than 99%) to
acetic acid will come through ingestion of vinegar in their diet.
Minimal exposure comes from non-food uses, such as those associated with
use of acetic acid as a surface cleaner. As discussed earlier, no acetic
acid metabolites of concern have been characterized since the active
ingredient is part of the normal metabolism of higher organisms. No
effects of repeated exposure are anticipated, and nothing in the
literature has been reported regarding a concern with cumulative
exposure to acetic acid.]>

<F. Safety Determination>

<	1. U.S. population. [Since acetic acid is a normal component of
metabolism in humans, and acetic acid is consumed as both a food
ingredient, as well as a food additive, no adverse effects are probable
or anticipated from the herbicidal use of acetic acid.]>

<	2. Infants and children. [Acetic acid is a normal component of
mammalian metabolism. It is not expected that infants and children will
be at greater risk than the general population. Nothing in the
literature leads one to conclude otherwise.

It is not anticipated that use of acetic acid as a contact herbicide
will result in adverse dietary or non-dietary exposure of either the
general population or the subgroup of infants and children.]>

<G. Effects on the Immune and Endocrine Systems>

<	[Acetic acid does not act like a hormone and has no activity on
hormones. Acetic acid has no structural relationship to any known
hormone or to any known endocrine disruptor. Nothing in the literature
points to any known impact acetic acid has on the endocrine system.]>

<H. Existing Tolerances>

<	[An exemption from the requirement for tolerance for acetic acid used
as a post-harvest treatment of grain and hay is published in the Federal
Register (see 40 CFR part 180.1258).]>

<I. International Tolerances>

<	[There are no known international tolerances for residues of acetic
acid in food or animal products.]>

III. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA requires that before acting on a
request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide a 30-day public
comment period on the request for voluntary cancellation or use
termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) requires that EPA
provide a 180-day comment period on a request for voluntary
cancellation or termination of any minor agricultural use before
granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II. have not requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 180-
day comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
should submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and
all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. Because the Agency has identified no significant
potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide products, upon
cancellation of the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II., EPA
anticipates allowing registrants to sell and distribute existing stocks
of these products for 1 year after publication of the cancellation
order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the pesticides identified in
Table 1 of Unit II., except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17
or for proper disposal. Persons other than registrants will generally
be allowed to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks until such
stocks are exhausted, provided that such sale, distribution, or use is
consistent with the terms of the previously approved labeling on, or
that accompanied, the canceled products.

[Project No. 14608-000]

Idaho Water Resources Board; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On March 24, 2014, the Idaho Water Resource Board filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Weiser-Galloway Hydroelectric and Water Storage Project (Weiser-
Galloway Project or project) to be located on Weiser River near Weiser,
Idaho. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant
the permit holder priority to file a license application during the
permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder
to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following new facilities:
(1) A 2,480-foot-long, 285-foot-high earthfill embankment dam with a
single ungated emergency spillway and low-level outlet works; (2) a
6,719-acre reservoir with a total storage capacity of 752,500 acre-feet
at a normal maximum operating elevation of 2,470 feet mean sea level;
(3) a free-standing water intake tower in the reservoir; (4) a large or
multiple 1,500-foot-long composite steel penstock in reinforced
concrete; (5) a 75-foot by 150-foot powerhouse containing four Francis
turbine/generation units rated for a total installed capacity of 60
megawatts; (6) a 50 to 100-foot-long open channel tailrace returning
water to the Weiser River; (7) a 10-mile-long, 69-kilovolt transmission
line extending from the powerhouse to an interconnection with an
existing transmission line owned by the Idaho Power Company; and (8)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the Weiser-
Galloway Project would be 365 gigawatt-hours.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Release From Quitclaim Deed and Federal Grant Assurance
Obligations at Santa Maria Public Airport, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara
County, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Request to Release Airport Land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and
invites public comment on the application for a release of
approximately 21.09 acres of airport property at Santa Maria Public
Airport/Captain G. Allan Hancock Field, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara
County, California, from all conditions contained in the Quitclaim Deed
and Grant Assurances since the parcel of land is not needed for airport
purposes. The property will be sold for its fair market value and the
proceeds used for airport purposes. The planned use of the land for
commercial purposes represents a compatible land use that will not
interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby protecting the
interests of civil aviation.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 22, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Tony Garcia, Airports
Compliance Program Manager, Federal Aviation Administration, Airports
Division, Federal Register Comment, 15000 Aviation Blvd., Lawndale, CA
90261. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA must
be mailed or delivered to Mr. Chris Hastert, General Manager, Santa
Maria Public Airport District, 3217 Terminal Drive, Santa Maria, CA
93455-1899.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Santa Maria Public Airport District, Santa Maria, California
requested a release from the conditions contained in the Quitclaim Deed
and Grant Assurance obligations for approximately 21.09 acres of
airport land at Santa Maria Public Airport. The property is located on
the north side of the Airport and south of Fairway Drive. The property
is mostly undeveloped and served as a 9-hole golf course. The Santa
Maria Airport District requested approval to sell the parcel because
the land is not presently needed for airport purposes or for future
airport development. The sale price will be based on its appraised
market value and the sale proceeds will be used for airport purposes.
The future commercial use of the property represents a compatible use
that will not interfere with airport operations. On this basis, the
disposal will serve the interests of civil aviation.

    Issued in Hawthorne, California, on January 11, 2016.

    2. Oral comments. Oral comments will be accepted throughout each of
the public meetings.

C. Purpose of the Public Meeting

    The EPA will host virtual public meetings to discuss how to
increase adoption of electronic manifests and solicit feedback from
stakeholders.
    EPA launched the e-Manifest system on June 30, 2018. e-Manifest
provides those persons required to use a Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) manifest under either federal or state law the
option of using electronic manifests to track shipments of hazardous
waste and to meet certain RCRA requirements. By enabling the transition
from a paper-intensive process to an electronic system, EPA estimates
e-Manifest will ultimately save state and industry users more than $50
million annually, once electronic manifests are widely adopted.
    Since system inception through August 31, 2021, EPA has received
roughly eighteen thousand electronic manifests (both fully electronic
and hybrid manifests) out of a total of approximately six million
manifests. Electronic manifests thus represent less than a half of a
percent of manifests received by EPA. EPA seeks to dramatically
increase this percentage. In June 2019, EPA consulted the Hazardous
Waste Electronic Manifest System Advisory Board (e-Manifest Advisory
Board) to better understand the barriers to using electronic manifests
and to identify actions the Agency can take to improve
implementation.\1\ The e-Manifest Advisory Board, in their meeting
minutes issued to the Agency on September 23, 2019, identified numerous
challenges for generators and transporters in using the current
electronic manifest process and made several recommendations to the
Agency on overcoming these challenges.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System Advisory
Board is established in accordance with the provisions of the
Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act, 42 U.S.C.
6939g, and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App.
2.
    \2\ Background materials, final meeting minutes, and the Agency
response for the June 2019 e-Manifest Advisory Board public meeting
can be located at http://www.regulations.gov Docket no. EPA-HQ-OLEM-
2019-0194.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In April 2020, EPA consulted the e-Manifest Advisory Board on
options for increasing use of electronic manifests, specifically
regarding the Agency's proposal to reengineer electronic signatures for
generators and transporters. This also included the Agency's proposed
position that requirements under EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting
Rule (CROMERR) would only apply to electronic signatures for receiving
facilities when submitting the final, signed manifest to EPA. Based on
the e-Manifest Advisory Board's feedback, the Agency confirmed its
position in its response to the e-Manifest Advisory Board issued in
October 2020.\3\ The Agency subsequently implemented a new ``Quick
Sign'' feature in e-Manifest for generators, transporters, and initial
electronic signatures by the receiving facility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Background materials, final meeting minutes, and the Agency
response for the April 2020 e-Manifest Advisory Board public meeting
can be located at http://www.regulations.gov Docket no. EPA-HQ-OLEM-
2020-0075.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its October 2020 response to the e-Manifest Advisory Board, the
Agency acknowledged that the new ``Quick Sign'' feature was not
expected to significantly increase adoption of electronic manifests.
Therefore, EPA committed to hold additional public meetings with
stakeholders to discuss the feasibility of further options for

subsequent consultation by the e-Manifest Advisory Board.
    Therefore, the purpose of the public meetings announced today is to
engage stakeholders in discussion regarding how to increase industry
adoption of electronic manifests. The agenda for both meetings will be
identical and all stakeholders are encouraged to attend one of the
meetings. These meetings are expected to include discussion regarding:
    (1) Current electronic manifest functionality and workflow;
    (2) Potential option to allow receiving facilities to upload
electronic signatures to EPA;
    (3) Other potential options, including options that may require
policy or regulatory change.
    EPA intends to use information obtained from these public meetings
to inform future options for consideration by the e-Manifest Advisory
Board.

    Dated: September 24, 2021.

Acting Director, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, Office

Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2016-8684.
    Petitioner: Douglas Myers.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  107.65.
    Description of Relief Sought: The petitioner, a Certificated Flight
Instructor, requests relief from 14 CFR 107.65, which provides that a
holder of a part 61 pilot certificate (other than student pilot) may
establish aeronautical knowledge recency by meeting the flight review
requirements specified in Sec.  61.56 within the previous 24 months and
completing either an initial or recurrent training course covering the
areas of knowledge specified in Sec.  107.74(a) or (b) in a manner
acceptable to the Administrator. The petitioner proposes instead that
he, and others similarly situated, be permitted to establish
aeronautical knowledge recency by holding an unexpired flight
instructor certificate and completing a flight instructor refresher
course in accordance with 14 CFR 61.197(a).
