pipeline consisting of two laterals, one primarily in Arkansas
(Fayetteville Lateral) and the other in Mississippi (Greenville
Lateral); one 10,650 horsepower compressor station; certain piping
modifications; and certain ancillary facilities. In addition, Texas Gas
is seeking authority to implement initial separate incremental rates
for the Fayetteville Lateral and the Greenville Lateral, all as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open for public inspection. This filing is available for review at
the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''

link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, please
contact FERC Online Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to
Kathy D. Fort, Manager of Certificates and Tariffs, Texas Gas
Transmission, LLC, 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301 or
by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER> or fax at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    On December 28, 2006, the Commission staff granted Texas Gas's
request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-
Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF07-2-000 to staff activities
involving the Texas Gas's expansion project. Now, as of the filing of
Texas Gas's application on July 11, 2007, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process
for this project has ended. From this time forward, Texas Gas's
proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP07-417-000, as noted in
the caption of this Notice.
    Pursuant to Sec.  157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party

to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests
only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: August 13, 2007.

BILLING CODE P


                             SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

A.	JUSTIFICATION

1.	IDENTIFICATION OF INFORMATION COLLECTION

 a)	Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Radon Emissions from Operating Mill Tailings (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart W) (Renewal)

      EPA ICR Number 2464.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0706

b)	Short Characterization

      On January 17, 2017 EPA issued final revisions to the radon emission standards for 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart W (82 FR 5142). Included in the final revisions is a requirement that owners and operators of uranium recovery facilities maintain specific records pertaining to the design, construction and operation of the uranium tailings impoundments, both conventional and non-conventional, and heap leach piles. These records will be retained at the facility and contain information regarding the approved design of the impoundments and/or heap leach pile, including but not limited to, all tests performed that prove the liner is compatible with the material(s) being placed on the liner. For non-conventional impoundments this requirement also includes written and digital photographic records showing compliance with the requirement to maintain liquid in the impoundment such that any solid materials in the impoundment are not visible above the liquid level. Apart from the design documents, which are required for the application submitted under Subpart A of 40 CFR Part 61, records regarding the inspections to determine the liquid retention requirement for non-conventional ponds are new requirements for collection of information that is not covered under the already existing ICR for radionuclide NESHAPS, EPA Number 1100.16, OMB Number 2060-0191.

      Information collected is used by EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides by compliance with these standards.  If the information were not collected, it is unlikely that a violation of these standards would be identified and, thus, there would be no corrective action initiated to bring the facilities back into compliance.  Compliance is demonstrated through inspection.  All facilities are required to maintain their records for the operational lifetime of the facility, as specified in 40 CFR 61.255.  In some cases, they also report their results to EPA.
2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION
      (a) Need/Authority for the Collection
      In the context of the Clean Air Act (42 USC 7414), Section 114 authorizes the Administrator of EPA to require any person who owns or operates any emission source or who is subject to any requirements of the Act to:
      - Establish and maintain records
      - Make reports, install, use, and maintain monitoring equipment or method
      - Sample emissions in accordance with EPA-prescribed locations, intervals and methods
      - Provide information as may be requested
      (b) Practical Utility/Users
      EPA's regional offices use the information collected to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of radionuclides by compliance with health-based standards and/or Generally Available Control Technology (GACT).
      EPA's compliance monitoring activities vary widely.  EPA could issue a letter requesting information about compliance or could conduct a full -  scale investigation, including on-site inspections.

      When EPA first learns of a compliance problem, EPA attempts to remedy the problem by holding informal discussions with the owner/operator of the source.  If it is not possible to remedy the problem informally, formal action is taken.
3.  NON-DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA
    (a)  Non-duplication
    In accordance with 40 CFR Part 61, the specific information requested by this notice is not currently collected by any other office within EPA or any other governmental agency.
    (b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

    EPA is publishing a Federal Register notice to request comments on specific aspects of this ICR with a 60-day comment period. Comments will be reviewed to determine whether the burden estimates should be revised.
    (c) Consultations
    In developing the requirements, EPA gathered extensive background information on the affected facilities.  In addition to background information collected from the regulated sources, public comments were received during the rulemaking process and they are contained in the public docket (EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0218).  In preparing this renewal, EPA will also review required submissions of compliance information and contact regulated entities, and review information related to the uranium production sector to characterize the respondent universe.
    (d)  Effects of Less Frequent Collection
      Respondents are required to collect digital photographs of liquid levels in impoundments at least weekly and submit them to the Agency at least monthly. This provides sufficient frequency for the Agency to ensure that compliance is maintained, or corrective actions taken in a timely manner. Extended periods of exposed uranium byproduct material could result in excessive emissions of radon to the atmosphere.
    (e)  General Guidelines
      This ICR meets OMB's collection guidelines. Reporting on a monthly basis allows the Agency to respond to potential increases in radon emissions. Records consisting of impoundment design and construction documents, written observation of impoundment liquid levels, and digital photographs are to be maintained for the operational lifetime of the facility, as specified in 40 CFR 61.255.
    (f) Confidentiality
      This section does not apply because this ICR does not request information of confidential nature.
	(g) Sensitive Questions
      This section is not applicable because this ICR does not request sensitive information.
4.  THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED
      (a) Respondents North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Codes
      The NAICS Code associated with the activity of the respondents is:
      Uranium-Radium-Vanadium Ore Mining - 212291
      (b) Information Requested and Respondent Activities
      Descriptions of the reporting and record keeping requirements are listed below.
Reporting
Subpart W - Uranium Mill Tailings
      The owners or operators of operating non-conventional impoundments are required to submit digital photographs collected during compliance inspections to the Subpart W Impoundment Photographic Reporting system (SWIPR) under Section 61.255. Digital photographs documenting the presence of liquids in non-conventional impoundments such that solid materials are not visible above the liquid level are to be collected at least weekly and uploaded to SWIPR at least monthly. Daily inspections of impoundments are required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which limits the additional burden on respondents. Written observations and digital photographs documenting liquid levels can be collected in conjunction with these customary and usual business practices.
Record Keeping

      The owner or operator of the uranium recovery facility must maintain records that confirm the approved design and operating procedures for the conventional impoundment(s), non-conventional impoundment(s) and heap leach pile(s). Included in these records shall be the results of liner compatibility tests and written and digital photographic records confirming that liquid has been maintained in non-conventional impoundments such that no solid material is visible above the liquid level. This documentation should be sufficient to allow an independent auditor to verify the accuracy of the determination made concerning the facility's compliance with the standard.  These records must be kept at the site of the facility for the operational lifetime of the facility and, upon request, be made available for inspection by the Administrator, or the Administrator's authorized representative.
5.	THE INFORMATION COLLECTED -- AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
      (a) Agency Activities
      Information being collected is pursuant to Federal regulation. Agency activities consist of reviewing owner or operator photographic submissions and maintaining files.
      (b) Collection Methodology and Management
      The EPA has planned and allocated resources for the efficient and effective management and use of this information.

      Records must be maintained documenting the approved design and operating procedures for the conventional impoundment(s), non-conventional impoundment(s) and heap leach pile(s). Included in these records shall be the results of liner compatibility tests and written and digital photographic records confirming that liquid has been maintained in non-conventional impoundments such that solid materials are not visible above the liquid level. This documentation should be sufficient to allow an independent auditor to verify the accuracy of the determination made concerning the facility's compliance with the standard.  Verification of data is accomplished by review of digital photographs of liquid in non-conventional impoundments. These records must be kept at the site of the facility for the operational lifetime of the facility and, upon request, be made available for inspection by the Administrator, or the Administrator's authorized representative. EPA regional office staff may perform periodic on-site inspections to determine if compliance with the regulatory standards is being maintained, including review of records.
      (c) Small Entity Flexibility
      For purposes of assessing the impacts of this ICR on small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) a small business whose company has less than 250 employees and is primarily engaged in leaching or beneficiation of uranium, radium or vanadium ores as defined by NAICS code 212291; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
      Of the 9 facilities identified, 5 are owned by small businesses.  Three of the six facilities that have been documenting the liquid level in non-conventional impoundments are owned by small businesses. The inspections to determine the liquid retention requirement for non-conventional impoundments can be created and stored during the daily inspections of the tailings and waste retention systems required by the NRC (and Agreement States) under the inspection requirements of 10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criterion 8A. Therefore, no small organizations or small governmental entities have been identified that would be adversely impacted by the proposed ICR.
      (d) Collection Schedule
      Collection of the information required will begin when the facility enters into operational status, with the documentation of design and construction of impoundments. Inspections and record keeping of impoundment liquid levels shall begin when non-conventional impoundments are first used to manage uranium byproduct material or tailings and shall be performed daily, during the inspections required by 10 CFR 40, Appendix A, Criterion 8A. Digital photographs to document the liquid level in non-conventional impoundments are to be taken at least weekly. Monthly submission of digital photographs to the SWIPR system is required; if the SWIPR system is not available, photographs must be maintained at the facility and made available upon request.
6.  ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION
      Burden and costs estimates have been calculated separately for these collections.  Respondent labor rates are based on "mean" values from the May 2019 data of the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the mining industrial sector.  These national industry-specific occupational employment and wage estimates are calculated with data collected from employers of all sizes, in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas in every State and the District of Columbia, in NAICS 212200 - Metal Ore Mining.  Mean hourly rates were then adjusted to represent total compensation, using the BLS estimate that wages in this sector represent 67.2% of total compensation. These rates are then increased by 120% to account for overhead and adjusted by 0.664% to account for inflation from BLS May 2019 dollars (most recent data available) to June 2020 dollars. The labor key is as follows: Management (Mgmt) ($122/hr) was based on the General & Operations Managers (Occupation Code 11-1021) in the metal ore mining sector in the BLS data. Technical (Tech) ($77/hr) was based on the average of three technical groups (environmental engineers, mining and geological engineers, and environmental scientists) (Occupation Codes 17-2081, 17-2151, and 19-2040, respectively) in the mining sector.  Clerical (Cler) ($40/hr) was based on the Office and Administrative Support Occupations Group (Occupation Code 43-9000) in the metal ore mining sector in the BLS data.

2.  Annual cost (O & M): 9 facilities x $100 = $900

W--Uranium Mill Tailings
      In order to complete these reporting requirements respondents will:
      a.	read and understand the regulatory provision,
      b.	acquire and install instrumentation necessary to comply with the regulatory requirements,
      c.	train technicians to perform the inspections,
      d.	perform the required inspections,
      e.	prepare and maintain the reports at the facility, available to EPA upon request.
      Maintaining liquid in non-conventional impoundment
      -It is estimated that the material required for documenting the liquid level through written and digital photographic records is not more than $300.
      - It is estimated that it will take one person one day to train to record the required information, and one person to provide training.
      - It is estimated that it will take one hour to perform the inspection and record the required information, and it will be carried out for 240 work days per year.
      - It is estimated that it will take 20 hours per year to submit digital photographs and maintain written and digital photographic records.
      - It is estimated that 6 facilities will keep records annually.
      - The estimated cost for each facility to complete the requirements is $22,010.

      Maintaining design/construction records
      -It is assumed that these records cost nothing to generate, since they were required as part of the application for construction/modification required under Subpart A of 40 CFR Part 61.
      -It is assumed that maintaining the records at the facility will require minimum handling, and minimum storage requirements.
      -It is estimated that 9 facilities will maintain these records.
      -The estimated cost for each facility to maintain the records is $644.
ESTIMATED AGENCY BURDEN AND COST
The burden to the EPA is only for reviewing the information collected by the regulated community to ensure that they meet the requirements of the regulations, as well as continuing maintenance (assuming no enhancements) of the SWIPR system for electronic submittal of digital photographs documenting the liquid level in non-conventional impoundments. The main burden is on the regulated community as they have to inspect their facilities, compile the data, and retain the necessary reports for compliance purposes. The estimated agency burden and costs are as shown in the table below. Agency salaries were found in 2020 General Schedule Salary Table. Uranium recovery facilities in the respondent universe are located in Regions 7 and 8, so the average locality pay for those locations was used (Lenexa, KS and Denver, CO). The data for review of reports for compliance was based on the salary scale for GS-13, step 5 (Tech), with a multiplier of 1.6 to include overhead; this resulted in $85/hr. For the Clerical category, the salary scale for a GS-9, step 5 (Cler) was used with a multiplier of 1.6 to account for overhead; this resulted in $48/hr. In addition, development and maintenance of the system for electronic submittal of digital photographs is estimated to involve a GS-14, step 1, using locality pay for Washington, D.C. Using the 1.6 multiplier, this resulted in $93/hr.

      * Capital/startup costs shown in earlier tables are not annual costs. Those costs are roughly annualized over a three-year ICR period. There are not expected to be annual capital costs associated with this ICR.

      Reasons for Change in Burden: The primary reason for the reduction in burden estimates from the ICR currently approved by OMB is an adjustment in the size of the respondent universe. The initial ICR approved at the time of rulemaking included a larger universe of potential respondents based on the overall state of the uranium production industry. Many of those facilities remain in some phase of licensing and development and EPA does not anticipate that any new facilities will become subject to the reporting and record-keeping requirements during this ICR renewal period. EPA will review facility status to confirm this assumption. The Agency has also made a minor adjustment in the estimated number of hours to read and become familiar with the requirements. A change in the labor categories used to estimate labor rates for technical positions resulted in an increase in the labor costs relative to the initial approved ICR. The change in estimated burden on the Agency primarily results from the transition of the SWIPR system from a start-up to an operations and maintenance mode, reflecting annual costs associated with EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX).
      Burden Statement:  The annual burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 283 hours for compliance with requirements to maintain liquids in non-conventional impoundments and 12 hours for a facility to retain records related to design and construction of impoundments and heap leach piles.  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.  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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

      To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0403, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Gas Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart GG) were promulgated
on September 10, 1979; and last-amended on February 27, 2014. These
regulations

apply to existing facilities and new facilities that have stationary
gas turbines with a heat input at peak load equal or greater than 10.7
gigajoules per hour (based on the lower heating value of the fuel
fired). There are no new facilities under this subpart, as any facility
which commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after
February 18, 2005 is subject to the NSPS for Stationary Combustion
Turbines (40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK). This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart GG.
    In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Stationary gas turbine facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart GG).
    Estimated number of respondents: 535 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 69,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,290,000 (per year), includes $0 in
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs.

    n. The Project Description: The existing Yadkin-Pee Dee Project
consists of the Tillery Development on the Yadkin River and the Blewett
Falls Development on the Pee Dee River. The project has a combined
installed capacity of 108.6 MW and an average annual generation of 326
million kilowatt-hours.
    The Tillery Development includes the following constructed
facilities: (1) A 1,200-foot-long earthen embankment and 1,550-foot-
long, concrete gravity structure including a 758-foot-long, 62-foot-
high spillway; (2) eighteen, 34-foot-wide by 24-foot-high radial
spillway gates; (3) a 14-foot-wide bottom-drop trash sluice gate; (4) a
5,697-acre reservoir, with a normal pool elevation of 277.3 feet NAVD
88 (North American Vertical Datum of 1988) and a usable storage
capacity of 84,150 acre-feet; (5) a concrete, indoor-outdoor
powerhouse, integral to the dam, containing three Francis turbines and
one fixed-blade propeller turbine directly connected to generators with
a total installed capacity of 84 MW; (6) a small Francis turbine
powering a ``house generator'' with an installed capacity of 360 kW;
and (7) appurtenant facilities.
    The Blewett Falls Development includes the following constructed
facilities: (1) A 1,700-foot-long earthen embankment and 1,468-foot-
long, concrete gravity structure including a spillway with abutments;
(2) 4-foot-high, wooden flashboards; (3) a 2,866-acre reservoir, with a
normal pool elevation of 177.2 feet NAVD 88 and a usable storage
capacity of 30,893 acre-feet; (4) a powerhouse, integral to the dam,
containing six pairs of identical S. Morgan Smith hydraulic turbines,
each pair with its own penstock and headgate and directly connected to
its own generator, for a total installed capacity of 24.6 MW; (5) a
900-foot-long tailrace channel; and (6) appurtenant facilities.
    The Tillery Development is operated as a peaking facility. It is
licensed for a 22 foot drawdown, but managed for drawdowns of not more
than four feet under normal conditions and one foot from April 15 to
May 15 to protect largemouth bass spawning. The Blewett Falls
Development is operated as a re-regulating facility, smoothing out
flows released from the upstream developments. Blewett Falls is
licensed for a drawdown of 17 feet, but generally operates with
drawdowns of two to four feet. The existing license requires the
release of a continuous minimum flow of 40 cfs from the Tillery
Development and 150 cfs from the Blewett Falls Development. By regional
agreement, a 900 cfs daily flow release from the project is required as
part of a drought management protocol.

EPA Registration Division contact: Lindsay Roe,<PHONE_NUMBER>

[Valent U.S.A. LLC]

9F8747

	EPA has received a pesticide petition ([9F8747]) from Valent U.S.A. LLC, 1600 Riviera Ave., Suite 200, Walnut Creek, CA  94596, proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a tolerance for residues of  ethaboxam ((RS)-N-(α-cyano-2-thenyl)-4-ethyl-2-(ethylamino)-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxamide) in or on the raw agricultural commodity "beet, sugar, root"  at 0.01 mg/kg (ppm).  EPA has determined that the petition contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in section 408 (d)(2) of FDDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting of the petition.  Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petition.

A. Residue Chemistry

	1. Plant metabolism.    The nature of residues in crops is well understood.  Nature of the residue studies (OCSPP Harmonized Guideline 860.1300) were conducted in potato, tomato and grape as representative crops in order to characterize the fate of ethaboxam in all crop matrices.  Two radiocarbon labelling positions were studied in each crop, Thiazole and Thiophene.  The route of metabolism of ethaboxam was similar in the three crop groups, with the extent of metabolism being greater at longer pre-harvest intervals.  Parent ethaboxam was a minor component of the residue in potato, where the majority of radioactive residues were found to be incorporated into glucose and starch.   In tomato, ethaboxam was a major component, with a minor component identified as LGC-35523, an -keto carboxylic acid found only in the Thiophene labelled fruits, and multiple minor polar and other unknowns.  In grape, ethaboxam was a major component, and LGC-35523 was also a significant component, along with multiple minor polar and other unknowns, and some incorporation into sugars.  In the confined crop rotation study, no ethaboxam was found.  There were two major metabolites in the Thiazole label only, EEO and EEHO.  In addition, numerous minor metabolites were present, including some that formed through natural incorporation of [14]C via sugars and other primary metabolites.

	2. Analytical method.     An independently validated analytical method has been submitted for analyzing parent ethaboxam residues with appropriate sensitivity in all crop commodities for which tolerances are being requested.

	3. Magnitude of residues.     A rationale along with magnitude of residue data for sugar beet roots from 17 locations have been submitted, which adequately support the requested tolerance.  Field trials were carried out using the maximum label rate.  No residues were observed at or above the LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg, so a tolerance is proposed for beet, sugar, root at 0.01 mg/kg.  Residues in sugar beet roots grown from seed treated at a 5X rate were <0.01 mg/kg, and residues in the sugar beet processed fractions were <0.01 mg/kg, so no separate tolerances are proposed for the processed fractions.

 Toxicological Profile

A complete, valid and reliable database of mammalian and genetic toxicology studies has been submitted to EPA that supports the proposed tolerances for ethaboxam on "beet, sugar, root". The toxicological profile for ethaboxam, in support of a petition for ethaboxam tolerances on imported grapes, was published in the Federal Register on September 27, 2006 (71 FR 56388) and in EPA's Pesticide Fact Sheet issued in September 2006.  Additional information and a current Human Health Risk Assessment are available in Docket ID EPA - HQ - OPP - 2015 - 0676. The nature of the toxic effects caused by ethaboxam, as well as the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) and the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies reviewed, are discussed in the Federal Register/Vol 82, No.148/August 3, 2017 (36086-36090).  https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-08-03/pdf/2017-16371.pdf .

C. Aggregate Exposure

	1. Dietary exposure.  A Tier 1 dietary exposure assessment from food and water were conducted by EPA to evaluate the potential risk due to chronic dietary exposure of the U.S. population and various subpopulations to residues of ethaboxam. Residues from use of ethaboxam on sugar beet as seed treatment were not included in the current assessment because the contribution to the overall aggregate exposure is considered negligible. These crop residues will be included in the aggregate exposure assessment at a later date.

No acute toxicity endpoint is available since ethaboxam is not acutely toxic.  Therefore, an acute risk assessment was not conducted.

The ethaboxam chronic toxicity endpoint of 5.5 mg/kg body wt/day is derived from a combined chronic/carcinogenicity study in the rat.  An uncertainty factor of 100 was applied to account for intra- and inter-species variation.  No additional uncertainty factor for FQPA was necessary.  The chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD) is 0.055 mg/kg body wt/day.  Ethaboxam produces Leydig cell tumors in male rats at doses greater than those causing chronic toxicity.  Therefore, the chronic risk assessment was conducted using a non-linear approach, as this adequately covers both chronic toxicity and potential carcinogenicity.

		i. Food.  The potential chronic dietary risk from exposure of the U.S. population and various subgroups to ethaboxam residues in food commodities was assessed using a highly conservative Tier I approach.  This Tier I approach incorporated tolerance level residues and 100% crop-treated in the DEEMTM 4.02 (Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model) software system.

		ii. Drinking water. Estimated upper-bound drinking water concentrations (EDWC) were determined for existing foliar uses with USEPA's Pesticide in Water Calculator (PWC) version 1.50 for surface water, and Pesticide Root Zone Model Ground Water (PRZM GW) for ground water exposure modeling.  The maximum chronic surface water EDWC was 3.91 ppb for surface water and 7.4 ppb for ground water.  The contribution of seed treatment uses is negligible.

	2. Non-dietary exposure.  No non-dietary residential or turf exposures are expected with the petitioned use pattern.

D. Cumulative Effects

FFDCA Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) requires that the Agency must consider "available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residues and "other substances'' that have a common mechanism of toxicity.  There are currently no available data or other reliable information indicating that ethaboxam shares a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substance.  Only the aggregate exposure of ethaboxam has been considered in this risk assessment.

E. Safety Determination

FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA shall apply an additional margin of safety, up to ten-fold, for added protection for infants and children in the case of threshold effects, unless EPA determines that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children.  The toxicological database for evaluating prenatal and postnatal toxicity for Ethaboxam Fungicide is complete with respect to current data requirements, and there are no special prenatal or postnatal toxicity concerns for infants and children.  This therefore warrants reducing the FQPA Safety Factor for protection of infants and children to 1X.

      1.  U.S. population.   Based on a highly conservative risk assessment, Valent U.S.A. LLC concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population from the aggregate exposure to ethaboxam from the proposed uses.

	2. Infants and children.  Based on a highly conservative risk assessment, Valent U.S.A. LLC concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from the aggregate exposure to ethaboxam from the proposed uses. EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to ethaboxam from food and water will utilize 36% of the cPAD for children 1 - 2 years old, the population group receiving the greatest exposure.

 F. International Tolerances 	 There are no CODEX maximum residue levels (MRLs) established or proposed for residues of ethaboxam in sugar beet root.  There are currently no tolerances for residues of ethaboxam in this crop in Canada or Mexico.
