SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Chapter II

[Release Nos. 33-11252; 34-98699; IA-6454; IC-35030; File No. S7-17-23]

List of Rules To Be Reviewed Pursuant to the Regulatory
Flexibility Act

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Publication of list of rules scheduled for review.

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

SUMMARY: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (``RFA'') requires an agency to
publish in the Federal Register, each year, a list of rules that are to
be reviewed in accordance with the RFA during the succeeding 12 months.
Based upon its review of rules potentially subject to review under the
RFA during the succeeding 12 months, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has determined that no such rules are
required to be reviewed. Accordingly, the agency is not publishing a
list of rules to be reviewed pursuant to the RFA during the succeeding
12 months.

DATES: October 13, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra Sojka, General Attorney, Office
of the General Counsel,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (``RFA''),
codified at 5 U.S.C. 601 through 612, requires an agency to review its
rules that have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number
of small entities within 10 years of the publication of such rules as
final rules. 5 U.S.C. 610(a). The purpose of the review is ``to
determine whether such rules should be continued without change, or
should be amended or rescinded . . . to minimize any significant
economic impact of the rules upon a substantial number of such small
entities.'' 5 U.S.C. 610(a).
    The RFA further requires an agency to publish in the Federal
Register, each year, a list of the rules that are to be reviewed in
accordance with the RFA during the succeeding 12 months. 5 U.S.C.
610(c). In determining which rules to include in each year's rule
review list, the Commission analyzes rules adopted in the ninth
calendar year prior to the year the rule review list is published, and
those rules included in the rule review list are reviewed in accordance
with the RFA during the calendar year following the year the rule
review list is published. The Commission includes in its rule review
lists any rules that may have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities, but excludes rules that
previously have been reviewed, rules that have been substantially
changed since adoption, rules that are minor amendments to previously
adopted rules, and rules that are ministerial, procedural, or technical
in nature. Based upon an analysis of the rules adopted by the
Commission in 2014, the Commission has determined that no such rules
are required to be reviewed pursuant to the RFA during the succeeding
12 months. Accordingly, the agency is publishing a list that reflects
that there are no rules to be reviewed pursuant to the RFA during the
succeeding 12 months.

    By the Commission.

    Dated: October 6, 2023.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.

Atrazine; Proposed Revisions to the Atrazine Interim Registration
Review Decision Memorandum; Notice of Availability and Request for
Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the availability of EPA's ``Proposed
Revisions to the Atrazine Interim Registration Review Decision, Case
Number 0062'' memorandum and is soliciting public comment on the
proposed revisions to the atrazine interim registration review decision
(ID). The Agency is not soliciting comment on any other aspects of the
atrazine ID other than those specifically identified in the proposed
revisions to the atrazine ID memorandum. The Agency is issuing this
memorandum as a proposal for revisions to the atrazine interim
registration review decision to provide clarification to specific
sections of the interim registration review decision that address
atrazine exposure in aquatic plant communities; and to propose
additional mitigation options to reduce potential exposure and risk to
aquatic plant communities from atrazine via runoff from agricultural
uses in field corn, sweet corn, sorghum and sugarcane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the Chemical Review Manager listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that
each pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.
EPA may pursue mitigation at any time during the registration review
process if it finds that a pesticide poses unreasonable adverse effects
to human health or the environment.
    On October 30, 2020, Petitioners challenged the EPA's issuance of
the atrazine ID by filing a Petition for Review in the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals, Rural Coalition, et al. v. EPA, et al., (No. 20-
73220) (9th Cir.). The Petition alleges that EPA violated its duties
under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA),
7 U.S.C. 136 et seq., by approving the atrazine ID based on a lack of
substantial supporting evidence. In response to the Petition, EPA
sought a voluntary partial remand that was granted by the court on
December 14, 2021. Specifically, the voluntary partial remand was
focused on re-evaluating the determination in the ID that the
concentration of 15 micrograms per liter ([mu]g/L) triggers required
monitoring and/or mitigation to protect aquatic plant communities. The
requirements for registrants to revise atrazine labels to mitigate risk
from the use of products containing atrazine were accepted on all
atrazine product registrations and updated labels were stamped by the
Agency on November 12, 2021. The Agency did not seek a remand on any of
the other determinations identified in the ID. During the partial
remand EPA reevaluated the policy decision to use15 [mu]g/L as the
level of regulation for aquatic plant communities. The reevaluation
concluded that this portion of the previous decision was not adequately
supported by science. Based on this reevaluation, EPA determined that
this level regulation was not appropriate and is proposing, for public
comment, additional mitigation to protect aquatic plant communities.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of atrazine pursuant to
FIFRA section 3(g) and the procedural regulations for registration
review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. FIFRA section 3(g) provides,
among other things, that the registrations of pesticides are to be
reviewed every 15 years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product may be
registered or remain registered only if it meets the statutory standard
for registration given in FIFRA section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)).
When used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized
practice, the pesticide product must perform its intended function
without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; that is,
without any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk from residues that result from the use of a pesticide in
or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's proposed revisions to the atrazine interim registration review
decision memorandum for the pesticide atrazine and opens a 60-day
public comment period on the proposed revisions to the atrazine interim
registration review decision. The Agency is issuing this memorandum as
a proposal for revisions to the atrazine interim registration review
decision to: (1) provide clarification to specific sections of the
interim registration review decision that address atrazine exposure in
aquatic plant communities; and (2) propose additional mitigation
options to

reduce potential exposure and risk to aquatic plant communities from
atrazine via runoff from agricultural uses in field corn, sweet corn,
sorghum and sugarcane.

    The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review of the case. For example,
the review opened with a Summary Document, containing a Preliminary
Work Plan, for public comment. A Final Work Plan was placed in the
docket following public comment on the initial docket. The documents in
the dockets describe EPA's rationales for conducting additional risk
assessments for the registration review of the pesticide included in
the table in Unit II.A., as well as the Agency's subsequent findings
and consideration of possible risk mitigation measures. The proposed
revisions to the atrazine interim registration review decision are
supported by the rationales included in those documents. Following
public comment, the Agency will issue the ``Revisions to the Atrazine
Interim Registration Review Decision, Case 0062'' memorandum for
products containing atrazine.
    The regulation at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum 60-day
public comment period on all proposed interim and/or final registration
review decisions. This comment period is limited to the proposed
revisions to the interim registration review decision. The Agency is
not soliciting comment on any other aspects of the atrazine ID other
than those specifically identified in the proposed revisions to the
atrazine ID memorandum All comments should be submitted using the
methods in ADDRESSES, and must be received by EPA on or before the
closing date. These comments will become part of the docket for
atrazine. Comments received after the close of the comment period will
be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    The Agency will carefully consider all comments related to the
proposed revisions to the atrazine ID received by the closing date and
will provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in the docket. The
revisions to the atrazine interim registration review decision
memorandum will explain the effect that any comments had on the
revisions to the atrazine interim registration review decision and
provide the Agency's response to significant comments.
    Background on the registration review program is provided at:

39-21306; AD 2020-22-10]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-14-
02, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR,
-300, and -300ER series airplanes. AD 2018-14-02 required an inspection
for foam insulation on the dripshield above the overhead panel support
structure and replacement if necessary. For certain airplanes, AD 2018-
14-02 also required replacement of foam insulation on the overhead
panel support structure. This AD continues to require the actions in AD
2018-14-02, and, for certain airplanes, this AD requires an inspection
of the foam insulation on the overhead panel support structure, and
replacement if necessary. This AD was prompted by reports that
additional areas of Boeing Material Specification (BMS) 8-39 flexible
urethane foam were found on the overhead panel support structure in the
flight compartment. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 14, 2021.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 14,
2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2018-14-02, Amendment 39-19322 (83 FR
31650, July 9, 2018) (``AD 2018-14-02''). AD 2018-14-02 applied to
certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, and -300ER
series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July
28, 2020 (85 FR 45357). The NPRM was prompted by reports that
additional areas of BMS 8-39 flexible urethane foam were found on the
overhead panel support structure in the flight compartment. The
degradation of the foam over time increases the potential for an
uncontrolled fire below the passenger compartment floor and other
locations outside the areas covered by smoke detection and fire
protection systems. The NPRM proposed to continue to require the
actions in AD 2018-14-02, and, for certain airplanes, the NPRM also
proposed to require an inspection of the foam insulation on the
overhead panel support structure, and replacement if necessary. The FAA
is issuing this AD to address BMS 8-39 flexible urethane foam found in
certain areas of an airplane, which, if exposed to an ignition source,
could cause loss of control of the airplane during a fire.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this AD. The FAA has considered the comments received.
Boeing and United Airlines indicated their support for the NPRM.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this AD 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

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-25-
0621, Revision 2, dated February 28, 2020. This service information
describes procedures for removal and replacement of the foam on the
overhead panel support structure; a general visual inspection for foam
insulation on the dripshield above the overhead panel support
structure; a detailed inspection for foam insulation on the overhead
panel support structure; and replacement if necessary. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 132 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA has determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by

used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by The Boeing Company Organization Designation
Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Seattle
ACO Branch, FAA, to make those findings. To be approved, the repair
method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must meet
the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2018-14-02 are approved as

Service Bulletin 777-25-0621, Revision 2, dated February 28, 2020,
that are required by paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (5) For service information that contains steps that are labeled
as Required for

Compliance (RC), the provisions of paragraphs (i)(5)(i) and (ii) of
this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim rule without
prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under
section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without
prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause
finds that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule. Though the
operation of the SAFARI EXPLORER into Molokai has been voluntarily
suspended by the operating company, operations could resume at any
time. It would be contrary to public interest to delay implementing
this rule because it could expose waterborne protestors and persons on
the vessel to significant hazards associated with the protestor's
tactics of intentionally impeding the channel to Kaunakakai Harbor and
using themselves as human barriers to the SAFARI EXPLORER's movement
into the harbor. For the same reason, under 5 U.S.C. 533(d)(3), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective
less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
    Although the Coast Guard has good cause to issue this temporary
interim rule without first publishing a proposed rule, comments are
invited regarding this rule on or before February 3, 2012. We may issue
a temporary final rule that reflects changes from this temporary
interim rule based upon your comments.

Basis and Purpose

    The entrance channel into Kaunakakai Harbor is narrow making
transit for larger vessels difficult in all but calm weather. There is
no turning basin within the harbor and larger vessels are restricted in
their ability to maneuver once they enter the channel. Turning around
and holding position in the narrow channel can create a hazardous
condition and places the vessel at risk of grounding in the shallow
waters adjacent to the channel.
    On November 26, 2011, protestors impeded the scheduled passage of
the SAFARI EXPLORER into Kaunakakai Harbor by blocking the entrance of
the channel with small vessels and persons on surfboards. To avoid risk
of collision or grounding, the master of the SAFARI EXPLORER held
station outside of the channel's entrance and ultimately decided not to
attempt entry into Kaunakakai Harbor after the protestors in the
channel failed to allow access for two hours.
    Given this past protest activity and the communicated desire of
certain persons to carry out protest activities in the future, certain
individuals may attempt to implement the same or similar techniques in
order to impede future transits by the SAFARI EXPLORER. By designating
the waters and land within Kaunakakai Harbor as a security zone, to be
enforced prior to scheduled SAFARI EXPLORER transits, the regulation
provides the Coast Guard and its law enforcement partners the authority
to prevent persons and vessels from intentionally blocking the channel
and ensures the safe passage of the vessel.

Discussion of Temporary Interim Rule

    This rule creates a security zone encompassing the navigable
channel in Kaunakakai Harbor and adjacent waters, and areas onshore
including the Young Brothers facility and a public boat ramp. The
security zone includes all waters and land encompassed within a
rectangle-like shape bounded by the following coordinates: North of the
Young Brothers Facility at 21[deg]05'08'' N, 157[deg]01'41'' W; then
Southeast at a bearing of 125[deg] for 770 yards to 21[deg]04'55'' N,
157[deg]01'21'' W; then southwest at a bearing of 226[deg] for 1,360
yards to 21[deg]04'27'' N, 157[deg]01'52'' W; then northwest at a
bearing of 306[deg] for 580 yards to 21[deg]04'27'' N, 157[deg]01'52''
W; then northeast at a bearing of 038[deg] for 1,375 yards to the
starting point.
    A graphic labeled ``Illustration of Kaunakakai Harbor, Molokai
Security Zone'' is available via http://www.regulations.gov in docket
USCG-2011-1159. It provides a graphical representation of the security
zone discussed above that is being established by this temporary
interim rule.
    The security zone will be activated for enforcement 60 minutes
before the SAFARI EXPLORER's intended transit into the Kaunakakai
Harbor Channel and will remain subject to enforcement until 10 minutes
after the SAFARI EXPLORER is safely moored in the harbor. The security
zone may also be activated for enforcement 60 minutes before the SAFARI
EXPLORER's intended transit until after the SAFARI EXPLORER has safely
departed from the security zone. Notice of the zone's activation will
be provided by broadcast notice to mariners and the display of a red
flag at the Kaunakakai Harbor Master's building.
    In preparing this temporary rule, the Coast Guard made sure to
consider the rights of lawful protestors. To that end, the Coast Guard
will allow demonstrations within the land portion of the security zone
on the public section of the pier immediately adjacent to the Young
Brothers facility where the SAFARI EXPLORER intends to

disembark passengers. The sizeable area will allow protestors to
assemble and convey their message is a safe manner to their intended
audience.
    In accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165,
subpart D, no person or vessel will be permitted to transit into or
remain in the zone except for those authorized support vessels and
personnel, or other personnel or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard
Captain of the Port Honolulu or the Fourteenth District Commander. Any
Coast Guard commissioned, warrant or petty officer, or other Captain of
the Port representative permitted by law, may enforce the zone.
    Vessels or persons in violation of this rule may be subject to the
penalties set forth in 33 U.S.C. 1232 and 50 U.S.C. 192 which include
federal felony provisions.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this temporary interim rule after considering numerous
statutes and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize
our analyses based on 14 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order or under Executive Order 13563, Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under that Order. The Coast Guard expects the
economic impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory
Evaluation under the regulatory policies and procedures of DHS is
unnecessary. This conclusion is based on the limited duration of the
zone and the limited geographic area affected by it.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule will have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This rule could affect the following entities, some of which
might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels for hire
intending to transit or operate within Kaunakakai Harbor from January
19, 2012, to May 15, 2012.
    This security zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because this rule will be
activated and thus subject to enforcement for periods estimated to be
no longer than two hours per transit. Activation of the security zone
will only affect a small population of vessels operating within
Kaunakakai Harbor.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule will have a
significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule will economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking.
    If the rule will affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance, please contact LCDR Scott O.
Whaley at<PHONE_NUMBER> extension 352. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
temporary interim rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-(888)-REG-
FAIR (1-(888) 734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy
or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule will not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions

Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a
determination that this action is one of a category of actions which do
not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (34)(g), of the Instruction. This regulation establishes a
temporary security zone. A final ``Environmental Analysis Checklist''
and a final ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' are available in
the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery
of a significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.

product registrations. These are not the last products containing these
pesticide active ingredients registered for use in the United States.
In the June 18, 2014, Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an
order cancelling these products unless the Agency received substantive
comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further
review of these requests. The Agency did not receive any comments on
the notice. Further, the registrant has not withdrawn its request.
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested cancellations effective January 1, 2015. Any
distribution, sale, or use of products cancelled by this order is
permitted only in accordance with the provisions of this order
concerning existing stocks of the cancelled products.

DATES: The cancellations are effective January 1, 2015.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

    During the public comment period provided, EPA received no comments
in response to the June 18, 2014, Federal Register notice announcing
the Agency's receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellations of
products listed in Tables 1, 2 and 3.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of the brodifacoum, difethialone, and warfarin
registrations identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II. Accordingly,
the Agency orders that the product registrations identified in Tables
1, 2, and 3 of Unit II. are cancelled effective January 1, 2015. Any
distribution, sale, or use of existing stocks of the products
identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3 of Unit II. in a manner inconsistent
with any of the Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks set forth
in Unit VI. is a violation of FIFRA.

V. 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 cancelled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of cancelled pesticide products
that are in the United States and that were appropriately packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of
cancellation of the underlying registration. This cancellation order
includes the following provisions regarding existing stocks of the
registrations identified in Tables 1, 2, and 3:
    1. Reckitt Benckiser is permitted to sell and distribute existing
stocks to its existing customers until March 31, 2015. During this time
period, Reckitt Benckiser is also permitted to ship product for the
purpose of returning material back to Reckitt Benckiser or for the
purpose of disposal.
    2. Reckitt Benckiser is permitted to sell and distribute existing
stocks after March 31, 2015, only for the limited purposes of returning
material back to Reckitt Benckiser or for disposal.
    3. The sale and distribution of existing stocks by persons other
than Reckitt Benckiser (e.g., distributors, retailers) is permitted
until such stocks are exhausted.
    4. Users are permitted to use existing stocks until such stocks are
exhausted, provided that such use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the cancelled
product.

Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Petition To Amend

May 9, 2006.
    Take notice that on May 3, 2006, Millennium Pipeline Company,
L.L.C., (Millennium), One Blue Hill Plaza, 7th Floor, P.O. Box 1565,
Pearl River, New York 10965, filed in Docket No. CP98-150-008, a second
amendment to its pending application filed on August 1, 2005, in Docket
No. CP98-150-006, pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA),
to reflect: (1) The conversion of Millennium Pipeline Company, L.P. to
Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C; (2) Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation's (Columbia) Line 1278 north of Milford, Line K and the
Milford Compressor Station which Millennium initially proposed to
acquire and operate, will instead be retained by Columbia, and under
which Millennium will lease capacity on the retained facilities; (3)
the relocation of the Wagoner M&R station from Milford, Pennsylvania to
Deer Park, New York; (4) certain minor route changes and modifications
with respect to the location of pipe, contractor and staging yards; and
(5) to include the latest amended versions of the precedent agreements,
a new precedent agreement with Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation, and certain formation documents. In addition, Millennium
requests that the Commission vacate the portions of the certificated
project that are not located on the proposed route from Greenwood, New
York to the point in Clarkstown, New York referred to as Buena Vista,
all as more fully set forth in the petition which is on file with the
Commission and open to public inspection.
    This petition to amend is on file with the Commission and open to
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''

    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 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, or in support of or in opposition to 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. The Commission's rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests
only to the applicant. 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

City of Waukesha, Wisconsin

[Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2008-0067]

    The City of Waukesha, Wisconsin (City) seeks a permanent waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of 49 CFR part 222, which pertain to
the establishment of Pre-Rule Quiet Zones. The City intends to
establish a Pre-Rule Quiet Zone that it had previously continued under
the provisions of 49 CFR 222.41(c)(1). The City is seeking a waiver to
extend: (1) the mailing date for a Notice of Intent as provided in 49
CFR 222.41(c)(2)(i)(A) that states that the Notice of Intent must be
mailed by February 24, 2008, and (2) the filing date for a Detailed
Plan as provided in 49 CFR 222.41(c)(2)(i)(B) that states that the
detailed plan must be filed with FRA by June 24, 2008. The waiver
petition also requests that the City be allowed to resubmit its Notice
of Intent that was originally filed on March 4, 2008, in order to
correct data errors in its original submission.
    The City states that it made an honest attempt to prepare the
Notice of Intent which was mailed on March 4, 2008. However, after a
diagnostic meeting was held on May 8, 2008, it was discovered that the
Notice of Intent contained a number of errors and the calculation of
risk levels should be revised. The City has now retained a consultant
with national quiet zone experience and requests the time extension in
order to prepare an updated Notice of Intent which will accurately
present risk levels so correct treatments can be planned to protect
public safety.
    The City seeks the waiver in order to continue the restrictions on
routine sounding of locomotive horns along the current Main Line Quiet
Zone (from Moreland Boulevard, MP 98.59 to Sunset Drive, MP 95.94). The
City included a letter from the Wisconsin Central Ltd. Railroad (WCL)
dated May 15, 2008, indicating the railroad's

support of the waiver petition to extend the deadlines for filing a
Notice of Intent and providing a Detailed Plan. However, subsequent
correspondence from WCL dated June 23, 2008, indicates that WCL has
withdrawn its support for the City's waiver petition, based upon the
failure of the City and WCL to come to agreement on the terms of the
public safety enhancements for the affected highway-rail grade
crossings.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. In particular, the City
is invited to provide additional written information about the steps
that it has taken to reach agreement with WCL on the City's request to
extend the deadlines contained in 49 CFR 222.41(c)(2), as well as a
written explanation as to why application of the joint submission
requirement contained in 49 CFR 222.15(a) would not be likely to
contribute significantly to public safety.
    FRA does not anticipate scheduling a public hearing in connection
with these proceedings since the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested party desires an opportunity for oral
comment, they should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-
2008-0067) and may be submitted by any of the following methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

    Communications received within 20 days of the date of this notice
will be considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments
received after that date will be considered as far as practicable. All
written communications concerning these proceedings are available for

Due to the widespread use of especially ortho phenylphenol and its sodium salts, the potential for consumer exposure and some " critical" findings the toxicological database is quite extensive and complex. For the skin and mucous membranes, ortho phenylphenol has been considered as irritating, and its potassium and potassium salts as corrosive. This reports summarized the potential health effects of phenol in humans, reported as incident reports from different sources. Three active ingredients are covered in this report: PC Code: 064103, 064104, 064108 Two approaches are used in this section:

$ The potential health effects of phenol in humans, reported as incident reports from different sources, are summarized.

$ A literature search of chronic health effects associated with phenol exposure, including results of epidemiological studies, are summarized.

1.0 INCIDENT REPORT DATA ASSOCIATED WITH HEALTH EFFECTS OF PHENOL EXPOSURE The following databases have been consulted for the poisoning incident data a. OPP Incident Data System ( IDS)  The Incident Data System of The Office of Pesticide Programs ( OPP) of the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) contains reports of incidents from various sources, including registrants, other federal and state health and environmental agencies and individual consumers, submitted to OPP since 1992. Reports submitted to the Incident Data System represent anecdotal reports or allegations only, unless otherwise stated. Typically no conclusions can be drawn implicating the pesticide as a cause of any of the reported health effects. Nevertheless, sometimes with enough cases and/ or enough documentation risk mitigation measures may be suggested.

b. Poison Control Centers  as the result of a data purchase by EPA, OPP received Poison Control Center data covering the years 1993 through 1998 for all pesticides. Most of the national Poison Control Centers ( PCCs) participate in a national data collection system, the Toxic Exposure Surveillance System, which obtains data from about 65 70 centers at hospitals and universities. PCCs provide telephone consultation for individuals and health care providers on suspected poisonings, involving drugs, household products, pesticides, etc.

c. California Department of Pesticide Regulation  California has collected uniform 2 data on suspected pesticide poisonings since 1982. Physicians are required, by statute, to report to their local health officer all occurrences of illness suspected of being related to exposure to pesticides. The majority of the incidents involve workers. Information on exposure ( worker activity), type of illness ( systemic, eye, skin, eye/ skin and respiratory), likelihood of a causal relationship, and number of days off work and in the hospital are provided.

d. National Pesticide Telecommunications Network ( NPTN)  NPTN is a toll free information service supported by OPP. A ranking of the top 200 active ingredients for which telephone calls were received during calendar years 1984 1991, inclusive, has been prepared. The total number of calls was tabulated for the categories human incidents, animal incidents, calls for information, and others.

e. Published Incident Reports  One incident report associated with hydantoins related human health hazard are published in the scientific literature.

1.1 OPP =

s Incident Data System ( IDS)

A total of 72 individual human incident cases submitted to the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs are associated with exposure to ortho phenylphenol and its salts containing products.

The products listed in the data base included several surface disinfectants produced by a number of registrants. Most of the reported incidences were not serious in nature. Incidences were reported for both humans and domestic animals. The symptoms included burning eyes, itchy skin, difficulty in breathing, coughing, nausea, vomiting, headache, hives, swollen mouth, dizziness, burning throat and lungs, nasal irritation, skin irritation, eye swelling, foot burn, pus in eye, blisters, welts, erythema, ulcerations of foot, corneal abrasion, vertigo, muscle weakness, diarrhea, ocular irritation, nose bleed, dyspnea, and tremor. These symptoms occurred when the individual came in contact with the product either through dermal or respiratory exposure, usually from a spray. The symptoms generally cleared up after a few minutes to a few hours. No severe symptoms or death occurred from exposure to this chemical.

1.2 Poison Control Center There is no ortho phenylphenol and its salts specific incident that have been reported. A total of 22,318 incident cases are been reported associated with phenolic disinfectants exposure been reported in the American Association of Poison Control Centers ( PCC) Toxic Exposure Surveillance System ( TESS) in the years between 1993  1998 ( Summarized in table 2). Most of the incidences ( more than 93% of the cases) were associated with no effects or only minor effects. Around 3 percent of the cases are judged to be not related to the chemical exposure. There are 11 cases are consider are associated with major clinical effects and death was involved in one of the cases. The primary symptoms involved in these major incidences were GI tract effect, neuro toxic signs, cardiovscular effects, and respiratory effects. 3 Table 1.

1.3 California Data  1982 through 2003 There is no ortho phenylphenol and its salts specific incident been reported. Detailed descriptions of 360 cases with a definite, probable or possible relationship cases associated with phenolic disinfectants submitted to the California Pesticide Illness Surveillance Program ( 1982 2003) were reviewed. Table 2 presents the types of illnesses reported by year. Table 3 gives the total number of workers that took time off work as a result of their illness and how many were hospitalized and for how long.

1.4 National Pesticide Telecommunications Network ( NPTN)

There are no incidents reported in the NPTN database related to ortho phenylphenol.

1.5 Incident Reports Associated with Toxic Effects of phenols Published in Scientific Literature.

In the Hazardous Substances Data Bank ( HSDB), there is a fatal oral dose of 10 g was reported, and toxic effects on the urothelium of the bladder were observed in two humans exposed to ortho phenylphenol.

The incidence report found in the scientific literature concerned Microban, which was sprayed into an operating heating/ ventilation/ air conditioning ( HVAC) unit at an elementary school on Monday, 4 September 28, 1992 in San Francisco, California ( Sesline et al. 1994). Microban contains 0.21% ortho phenylphenol, 0.69% of a quaternary ammonium complex di isobutylphenoxy ethoxyethyldimethylbenzyl mmonium chloride), and 0.04% bromine. Symptoms, primarily skin and mucous membrane irritation, were elevated on Monday and Tuesday, but the symptoms normalized by the end of the week. The individuals who were exposed to the chemical were evacuated immediately after symptoms were observed and they all recovered completely within a few minutes to a few hours. It was not clear which one of Microbans three active ingredients caused the symptoms documented in this study.

2.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The chemical ortho phenylphenol and its sodium and potassium salts are used as fungicides, in can preservatives and disinfectants. They belong to the phenolic microbiocide group. There are incidents reported associated with exposure to end use products containing ortho phenylphenol and its sodium and potassium salts. Dermal, ocular and inhalation are the primary routes of exposure.

Dermal exposure is considered as a very important route of exposure. Most of the incidences are related to irritation reaction. The most common symptoms reported for cases of inhalation exposure were respiratory irritation/ burning, irritation to mouth/ throat/ nose, coughing/ choking, shortness of breath, dizziness, flu like symptoms, and headache. Eye pain, burning of eyes, conjunctivitis, blurring vision, and acute inflammation have been reported in ocular exposure incidents. Neurological effects have been reported. Because, most of the effects are reported with products containing ingredients other than the specific chemical of concern ( ortho phenyl phenol and its salts), it can not be ruled out that some of the effects are possibly caused by other ingredients in the products. 5 Table 2.
