ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2015-0485; FRL-9942-48]

Alpha-[2,4,6-Tris[1-(phenyl)ethyl]phenyl]-Omega-hydroxy
poly(oxyethylene) poly(oxypropylene) copolymer; Tolerance Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of Alpha-[2,4,6-Tris[1-
(phenyl)ethyl]phenyl]-Omega-hydroxy poly(oxyethylene)
poly(oxypropylene) copolymer, the poly(oxypropylene) content averages
2-8 moles, the poly(oxyethylene) content averages 16-30 moles, when
used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide formulation. Stepan Co.
submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum
permissible level for residues of Alpha-[2,4,6-Tris[1-
(phenyl)ethyl]phenyl]-Omega-hydroxy poly(oxyethylene)
poly(oxypropylene) copolymer, the poly(oxypropylene) content averages
2-8 moles, the poly(oxyethylene) content averages 16-30 moles, on food
or feed commodities.

DATES: This regulation is effective March 2, 2016. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before May 2, 2016, and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of Wednesday, August 26, 2015 (80 FR 51763)
(FRL-9931-74), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21
U.S.C. 346a, announcing the receipt of a pesticide petition (PP IN-
10837) filed by Stepan Company, 22 West Frontage Road, Northfield, IL
60093. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.960 be amended by
establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for
residues of Alpha-[2,4,6-Tris[1-(phenyl)ethyl]phenyl]-Omega-hydroxy
poly(oxyethylene) poly(oxypropylene) copolymer, the poly(oxypropylene)
content averages 2-8 moles, the poly(oxyethylene) content averages 16-
30 moles; CAS No. 70880-56-7. That document included a summary of the
petition prepared by the petitioner and solicited comments on the
petitioner's request. The Agency did not receive any comments.
    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and use in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the
pesticide chemical residue in establishing an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue . . .'' and
specifies factors EPA is to consider in establishing an exemption.

III. Risk Assessment and Statutory Findings

    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be shown that the risks from aggregate
exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable
circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order
to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert
ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in
conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to
determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability
and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children. In the case of certain chemical substances that
are defined as polymers, the Agency has established a set of criteria
to identify categories of polymers expected to present minimal or no
risk. The definition of a polymer is given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and the
exclusion criteria for identifying these low-risk polymers are
described in 40 CFR 723.250(d). The polymer conforms to the definition
of a polymer given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and meets the following
criteria that are used to identify low-risk polymers:
    1. The polymer is not a cationic polymer nor is it reasonably
anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural aquatic
environment.
    2. The polymer does contain as an integral part of its composition
the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
    3. The polymer does not contain as an integral part of its
composition, except as impurities, any element other than those listed
in 40 CFR 723.250(d)(2)(ii).
    4. The polymer is neither designed nor can it be reasonably
anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or depolymerize.
    5. The polymer is manufactured or imported from monomers and/or
reactants that are already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance
Inventory or manufactured under an applicable TSCA section 5 exemption.
    6. The polymer is not a water absorbing polymer with a number
average molecular weight (MW) greater than or equal to 10,000 Daltons.
    Additionally, the polymer also meets as required the following
exemption criteria specified in 40 CFR 723.250(e).
    7. The polymer's minimum number average MW (in amu) of 1,500 is
greater than 1,000 and less than 10,000 Daltons. The polymer contains
less than 10% oligomeric material below MW 500 and less than 25%
oligomeric material below MW 1,000, and the polymer does not contain
any reactive functional groups.
    Thus, the polymer meets the criteria for a polymer to be considered
low risk under 40 CFR 723.250. Based on its conformance to the criteria
in this unit, no mammalian toxicity is anticipated from dietary,
inhalation, or dermal exposure to the polymer.

IV. Aggregate Exposures

    For the purposes of assessing potential exposure under this
exemption, EPA considered that the polymer could be present in all raw
and processed agricultural commodities and drinking water, and that
non-occupational non-dietary exposure was possible. The number average
MW of the polymer is 1,500 Daltons. Generally, a polymer of this size
would be poorly absorbed through the intact gastrointestinal tract or
through intact human skin. Since the polymer conform to the criteria
that identify a low-risk polymer, there are no concerns for risks
associated with any potential exposure scenarios that are reasonably
foreseeable. The Agency has determined that a tolerance is not
necessary to protect the public health.

V. Cumulative Effects From Substances With a Common Mechanism of
Toxicity

    Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering
whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency
consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of
a particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances that have a
common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA has not found the polymer to share a common mechanism of
toxicity with any other substances, and the polymer does not appear to
produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the
purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that the
polymer does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which
chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the
cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's Web site at  http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

VI. Additional Safety Factor for the Protection of Infants and Children

    Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the
case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal
toxicity and the completeness of the data base unless EPA concludes
that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and
children. Due to the expected low toxicity of the polymer, EPA has not
used a safety factor analysis to assess the risk. For the same reasons
the additional tenfold safety factor is unnecessary.

VII. Determination of Safety

    Based on the conformance to the criteria used to identify a low-
risk polymer, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty of no
harm to the U.S. population, including infants and children, from
aggregate exposure to residues of the polymer.

VIII. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

B. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food
standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for Alpha-[2,4,6-Tris[1-
(phenyl)ethyl]phenyl]-Omega-hydroxy poly(oxyethylene)
poly(oxypropylene) copolymer, the poly(oxypropylene) content averages
2-8 moles, the poly(oxyethylene) content averages 16-30 moles.

IX. Conclusion

    Accordingly, EPA finds that exempting residues of the polymer from
the requirement of a tolerance will be safe.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes a tolerance under FFDCA section 408(d) in
response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this action has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance in this
final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this
action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

XI. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0068, dated March 27, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0068'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A320-251N and A321-253N
airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus SAS
Model A320-251N and A321-253N airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on June 24, 2019 (84 FR 29421). The NPRM was prompted
by reports of cracks on the pylon block seals during the final assembly
line. The NPRM proposed to require replacement of the pylon block
seals.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracks on pylon block seals,
which could reduce the firewall integrity between the pylon and the
nacelle. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Support for the NPRM

    The Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA) indicated its
support for the NPRM.

Request To Include Additional Credit for Certain Service Information

    Alaska Airlines requested that the FAA include Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-54-1040, dated April 20, 2018, in paragraph (h)(2) of the
proposed AD, to provide credit for actions accomplished before the
effective date of the proposed AD. Alaska Airlines did not provide any
further justification.
    The FAA acknowledges the commenter's request and agrees to clarify.
Paragraph (f) of this AD states to accomplish the required actions
within the compliance times specified, ``unless already done.''
Therefore, if operators have accomplished the actions required for
compliance with this AD before the effective date of this AD, no
further action is necessary. The FAA has not revised this AD in this
regard.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed, except for 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.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0068 describes procedures for replacement of the pylon
block seals. 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 would affect 9 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The agency estimates the following costs to comply with this
AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 work-hours x $85 per hour = $170...........................          $5,300           $5,470          $49,230
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD
may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, the agency has included all known
costs in the cost estimate.

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    EPA established the FRRCC in 2008 pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, in order to help EPA build a more
positive and proactive relationship with the agricultural industry in
furtherance of EPA's mission to protect human health and the
environment. The FRRCC serves as part of EPA's efforts to expand
cooperative working relationships with the agriculture community and
others who are interested in agricultural issues and achieving greater
progress in environmental protection. The FRRCC provides advice and
recommendations to the EPA Administrator on environmental issues and
programs that impact, or are of concern to, farms, ranches and rural
communities. Topics addressed may include food loss and waste, water or
air quality issues, pesticides, toxics, emergency response, enforcement
and compliance, technology and innovation, and other topics of
environmental importance pertaining to agriculture and rural
communities. The previous Charter for the FRRCC was scheduled to expire
and therefore was renewed in 2018; however, the committee currently has
no members. EPA is currently seeking 20-30 members for the committee,
who will be appointed for 2-3 year terms. The membership of this
committee will include a balanced representation of interested persons
with relevant experience to contribute to the functions of the
committee, and will be drawn from relevant sectors, including; but not
limited to academia, agricultural industry, nongovernmental
organizations, and state, local, and tribal governments.
    The Committee expects to meet approximately twice a year, or as
needed and approved by the Designated Federal Officer (DFO). Meetings
will be held in Washington, DC and the EPA regions. Members serve on
the Committee in a voluntary capacity. However, EPA may provide
reimbursement for travel expenses associated with official government
business.

II. Eligibility

    Because of the nature of the issues to be discussed, it is the
intent of the Agency for the majority of Committee members to be
actively engaged in farming or ranching. The membership of this
committee will include a balanced representation of interested persons
with relevant experience to contribute to the functions of the
committee and will be drawn from a variety of relevant sectors. Members
may represent farmers, ranchers, and rural communities (can include
large, small, crop, livestock, commodity, and specialty producers from
various regions)--and their allied industries (farm groups, rural
suppliers, marketers, processors, etc.); as well as the academic/
research community who research environmental issues impacting
agriculture, tribal agriculture groups, state, local, and tribal
government, and environmental/conservation and other nongovernmental
organizations. Individuals are generally appointed to serve on the
FRRCC as ``Representative'' members and are thus expected to represent
the points of view of a particular group (e.g., an industry sector),
rather than provide independent judgment and expertise. Other Federal
agencies and other sectors as appropriate may be invited to attend or
provide presentations at committee meetings as non-members. EPA values
and welcomes diversity. In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse
candidates, EPA encourages nominations of women and men of all racial
and ethnic groups.
    Per an October 31, 2017 EPA Directive, ``Strengthening and
Improving Membership on EPA Federal Advisory Committees,'' members of
EPA Federal advisory committees cannot concurrently receive EPA grants,
either as principal investigator or co-investigator, or be in a
position that otherwise would reap substantial direct benefit from an
EPA grant. This principal does not apply to state, tribal, or local
government agency recipients of EPA grants.
    In selecting committee members, EPA will consider each candidate's
qualifications including, but not limited to, on whether the candidate
is:
     Is actively engaged in farming.
     Occupies a senior position within their organization.
     Holds leadership positions in ag-related organizations,
businesses and/or workgroups.
     Has broad agricultural experience regardless of their
current position.
     Has experience working on issues where building consensus
is necessary.
     Has membership in professional societies, broad-based
networks or the equivalent.
     Has extensive experience in the environmental field
dealing with agricultural issues.
     Provides services to producers.
     Is involved in processing, retailing, manufacturing and
distribution of agricultural products.

     Possesses a professional knowledge of agricultural issues
and environmental policy.
     Possesses a demonstrated ability to examine and analyze
complicated environmental issues with objectivity and integrity.
     Possesses excellent interpersonal as well as oral and
written communication skills.
     Possesses an ability and willingness to participate in a
deliberative and collaborative process.
    In addition, well-qualified applicants must be prepared to process
a substantial amount of complex and technical information and have the
ability to volunteer several hours per month to the Committee's
activities, including participation in teleconference meetings and
preparation of text for Committee reports.

III. Nominations

    Any interested person or organization may submit the names of
qualified persons, including themselves. To be considered, all
nominations should include the information requested below:
     Current contact information for the nominee, including the
nominee's name, organization (and position within that organization),
business address, email address, and daytime telephone number(s).
     A brief statement describing the nominee's interest and
availability in serving on the FRRCC. Please also include the following
information, as available: (1) The nominee's ability to serve as a
``Representative'' member and represent the point of view of a group
(e.g., an industry sector) rather than provide independent judgment and
expertise; (2) if the nominee currently receives funding from an EPA
grant; (3) if the nominee has any prior/current service on Federal
advisory committees, and the number of years.
     R[eacute]sum[eacute] or curriculum vitae detailing the
nominee's background, experience and qualifications and other relevant
information.
    Letters of support and recommendation will be accepted but are not
mandatory. To help the agency evaluate the effectiveness of its
outreach efforts, please indicate how you learned of this nomination
opportunity.

    Dated: October 25, 2019.
Elizabeth (Tate) Bennett,
Agriculture Advisor to the Administrator, Associate Administrator,
Office of Public Engagement and Environmental Education.

[Docket No. FDA-2022-C-0098]

Motif FoodWorks, Inc.; Filing of Color Additive Petition

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notification of petition.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing
that we have filed a petition, submitted by Motif FoodWorks, Inc.,
proposing that the color additive regulations be amended to provide for
the safe use of myoglobin as a color additive in meat and poultry
analogue products.

DATES: The color additive petition was filed on December 13, 2021.

ADDRESSES: For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments received, go to https://www.regulations.gov and insert the
docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document into
the ``Search'' box and follow the prompts, and/or go to the Dockets
Management Staff, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Anderson, Center for Food Safety
and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration, 5001 Campus Dr.,
College Park, MD 20740,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 721(d)(1) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379e(d)(1)), we are giving notice
that we have filed a color additive petition (CAP 2C0322), submitted by
Motif FoodWorks, Inc., 27 Drydock Ave., 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02210.
The petition proposes to amend the color additive regulations in part
73 (21 CFR part 73), ``Listing of Color Additives Exempt from
Certification,'' to provide for the safe use of myoglobin as a color
additive in meat and poultry analogue products.
    The petitioner has claimed that this action is categorically
excluded under 21 CFR 25.32(r) because the substance occurs naturally
in the environment, and the action does not alter significantly the
concentration or distribution of the substance, its metabolites, or
degradation products in the environment. In addition, the petitioner
has stated that, to their knowledge, no extraordinary circumstances
exist that would warrant at least an environmental assessment (see 21
CFR 25.21). If FDA determines a categorical exclusion applies, neither
an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is
required. If FDA determines a categorical exclusion does not apply, we
will request an environmental assessment and make it available for
public inspection.

    Dated: February 7, 2022.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.
