Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-29060; Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-34-AD;
Amendment 39-16243; AD 2010-06-18]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500-
A1, V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5,
V2528-D5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for IAE
V2500-A1, V2522-A5, V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5,
V2528-D5, V2530-A5, and V2533-A5 turbofan engines. This AD requires a
onetime fluorescent penetrant inspection of certain vortex reducers for
cracks. This AD results from reports of fractured vortex reducers found
at shop visits. We are issuing this AD to inspect for cracks in the
vortex reducer. Cracks in the vortex reducer could result in an
uncontained failure of the high-pressure (HP) compressor stage 3-8 drum
and subsequent damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 22, 2010.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Operations office is located at Docket Management
Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue,
SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-
0001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Dickert, Aerospace Engineer,
Engine Certification Office, FAA, Engine & Propeller Directorate, 12
New England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803; e-mail: kevin
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to IAE V2500-A1, V2522-A5,
V2524-A5, V2525-D5, V2527-A5, V2527E-A5, V2527M-A5, V2528-D5, V2530-A5,
and V2533-A5 turbofan engines. We published the proposed AD in the
Federal Register on April 30, 2009 (74 FR 19904), and a supplemental
proposed AD on December 23, 2009 (74 FR 68192). That action proposed to
require a onetime inspection of certain vortex reducers for cracks, and
replacing the reducer and HP compressor stage 3-8 drum if the reducer
is cracked.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is provided in
the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket
shortly after receipt.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect six IAE turbofan engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will
take about one work-hour per engine to perform the actions, and that
the average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. No parts are required.
Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost of the AD to U.S.
operators to be $480.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

ratings,
    (2) The vortex reducer had cycles accumulated on it when mated
with the HPC stage 3-8 drum, and
    (3) The HPC stage 3-8 drum had fewer than 3,000 CSN when mated
to the vortex reducer.
    (g) If the vortex reducer is cracked, remove both the vortex
reducer and the HPC stage 3-8 drum from service.
    (h) After the effective date of this AD, do not return to
service any HPC stage 3-8 drum that was removed as specified in
paragraph (g) of this AD.

Alternative Methods of Compliance

    (i) The Manager, Engine Certification Office, has the authority
to approve alternative methods of compliance for this AD if
requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

	(9) Pesticide Safety Training for Workers and Handlers (§170.401 and §170.501)

      Annual training is required for all agricultural workers and handlers on agricultural establishments and handlers employed by CPHEs.
	Calculations in this ICR are based on assumptions the Agency made about the number of training sessions held each year. EPA estimates that the average burden in terms of hours and costs for agricultural and CPHE employers and their worker and handler employees to comply with this requirement is 2,265,160 hours and $ 67,055,858. (Table 12)
      Agricultural Worker Pesticide Safety Training
      Workers must be trained before they perform any tasks on an agricultural establishment in an area that, within the last 30 days, has been treated with a pesticide or is under an REI. Workers who are trained as handlers under this rule, are certified as applicators of RUPs (40 CFR 171), or are certified as crop advisors are exempted from this training requirement while they meet these criteria. The training must be provided by persons designated by EPA, state or tribal pesticide enforcement agencies as a trainer of certified applicators, handlers, or workers; trainers that have completed an approved Train-the-Trainer course; or certified applicators (40 CFR 171). The wage rate for the first two categories of trainers is $72.73 and a certified applicator is assumed to be the agricultural employer (wage rate $51.50).
	Worker pesticide safety trainings are the responsibility of the agricultural establishment employer. EPA estimates that there are 312,568 establishments that hire workers, i.e., those that engage in hand labor activities in the production of crops. Operations that primarily raise livestock (NAICS 112) are not included in the estimate because it is assumed that the types of crops primarily raised do not necessitate hiring agricultural workers. Handlers that work on livestock operations are included in the handler training section below. This estimate includes establishments that do not use pesticides on the assumption that most establishments will conduct trainings early in the season before pesticide application decisions are made, but will train workers in case pesticides are needed. EPA further estimates that there will be a total of 518,487 training sessions per year given multiple trainings to accommodate different sizes of workforce across different types of farms:
 Large establishments (annual revenue of $750,000 or more) with more than 10 employees, estimated to number 16,454, hold an average of 6.4 training sessions per year;
 Large establishments (annual revenue of $750,000 or more) with fewer than 10 employees, estimated to number 40,224, hold an average of 1.45 training sessions per year;
 Small establishments (annual revenue of less than $750,000) with more than 10 employees, estimated to number 17,598, are assumed to hold an average of 3.25 training sessions per year;
 Small establishments (annual revenue between $10,000 and $750,000) with fewer than 10 employees, estimated to number 167,377, are assumed to hold an average of 1.27 training sessions per year;
 Small establishments (annual revenue less than $10,000) with fewer than 10 employees, estimated to number 70,917, are assumed to hold an average of 1.2 training sessions per year.
EPA assumes that 14% of trainings will be conducted by trainers of certified applicators, accounting for 72,588 training sessions held on 43,760 establishments; 10% of trainings will be conducted by trainers who completed a Train-the-Trainers program, accounting for 51,849 training sessions held on 31,257 establishments; and 76% of trainings will be conducted by certified applicators, accounting for 394,050 training session held on 237,551 establishments. (Table 12, lines 1-3)
	EPA estimates that there are 1,910,055 employees on farms that primarily produce crops (NAICS 111) and hire labor.  Given a new hire rate of 16%, the Agency estimates that 84% of the 215,638 handlers employed on establishments hiring workers, or 181,136, will be returning employees who will receive handler safety training. Thus, the Agency estimates that 1,728,919 workers (1,910,055 - 181,136) will be trained each year. (Table 12, line 4)
	The training time requirement for worker training sessions is estimated to take 45 minutes (0.75 hours) to cover the training content.
	Employers (numbering 312,568) are required to make a record of the training (numbering 518,497 as calculated above) and have it signed by the trained worker (numbering 1,728,919). The estimated time burden for agricultural establishment to collect signatures and file the records of training is 7 minutes (0.12 hours) per training session. The time required for workers to sign is 30 seconds (0.0083 hours) per worker. Employers are required to keep records of training for 2 years, including names of workers trained, trainer's name and eligibility, and the employer's name; date; materials used; and signature acknowledgement of receipt of training. This record must be provided to the employee upon their request. EPA estimates that one-third of workers (576,306) will request a copy, given that 28% of workers report having multiple employers. EPA assumes it takes about 2 minutes (0.033 hours) per request for the employer to copy the training record. (Table 12, lines 5-7)
      Agricultural Handler Pesticide Safety Training

      Handler pesticide safety trainings are the responsibility of the handler employer. Handlers are trained annually and the training time for agricultural establishment handler training is estimated to take 60 minutes.
      EPA estimates that there are 221,187 establishments that hire handlers (Table 2), including establishments that do not apply pesticides on the assumption that most establishments will conduct trainings early in the season before pesticide application decisions are made, but will train handlers in case pesticides are needed.  EPA further estimates that there will be a total of 134,424 training sessions per year given the number of trainings across different sizes of farms:
 Large establishments (annual revenue of $750,000 or more), which are assumed to average 2 handlers/farm, estimated to number 79,434, will average 0.8 training sessions/year (4 trainings for every 5 farms, as some farms are able to share resources), resulting in 63,547 training sessions;
 Large-small establishments (annual revenue between $100,000 and $750,000), which are assumed to average 1 handler/farm, estimated to number 141,753, will average 0.5 training sessions/year (1 training for every 2 farms, as some farms are able to share resources), resulting in 70,877 training sessions.
	The training must be provided by persons designated by EPA, state or tribal pesticide enforcement agencies as a trainer of certified applicators or handlers; trainers that have completed an approved Train-the-Trainer course; or are certified applicators (40 CFR 171). EPA assumes that 14% of trainings will be conducted by trainers of certified applicators, accounting for 18,819 training sessions for 30,966 establishments; 10% of trainings will be conducted by trainers who completed a Train-the-Trainers program, accounting for 13,442 training sessions for 22,119 establishments; and 76% of trainings will be conducted by certified applicators, accounting for 102,162 training session for 168,102 establishments. (Table 12, lines 8-10)
	EPA estimates that there are 300,621 handlers, including those that are employed on establishments that do not hire workers. This number includes 16% (the new hire rate) of the 215,638 handlers employed on establishments that hire workers (34,502) who also receive worker safety training. (Table 12 line 11)
      Employers (numbering 221,187) are required to make a record of the training. Given a new hire rate of 16%, the Agency assumes that there will be 1.16 training occasions per establishment, or 256,577 occasions. The estimated time burden for the agricultural establishment employer to collect signatures and file the records of training is 4 minutes (0.067 hours) per training occasion. See line 12.  The record must be signed by the trained handler (numbering 300,621), which is assumed to take 30 seconds (0.0083 hours) per handler. (Table 12, line 13)
      The employer must maintain the record for 2 years and provide a record of the same information to the handler upon request. EPA estimates that 16% of handlers (48,099) will request a copy, given the new hire rate of 16%, assumed to represent the turnover rate of handlers. EPA assumes it takes about 2 minutes (0.033 hours) per request for the employer to copy the training record. (Table 12, line 14)
      CPHE Handler Pesticide Safety Training
      Handler pesticide safety trainings are the responsibility of the handler employer. Certified applicators do not need to take WPS handler training. The training time for CPHE handler training is estimated to take 60 minutes.
      EPA estimates that there are 1,936 commercial establishments that hire 14,320 handlers (D&B, 2014). EPA assumes that there will be an average of 1.3 training sessions per firm, given an average of over 7 handlers per firm and some turnover of employees. EPA, therefore, estimates a total of 2,517 training sessions per year.
      The training must be provided by persons designated by EPA, state, or tribal pesticide enforcement agencies as a trainer of certified applicators or handlers; trainers that have completed an approved Train-the-Trainer course; or are certified applicators (40 CFR 171). EPA assumes that 14% of trainings will be conducted by trainers of certified applicators, accounting for 352 training sessions for 271 establishments; 10% of trainings will be conducted by trainers who completed a Train-the-Trainers program, accounting for 252 training sessions for 194 establishments; and 76% of trainings will be conducted by certified applicators, accounting for 1,913 training session for 1,471 establishments.  See lines 15-17. EPA assumes that none of the handlers are certified applicators, so all 14,320 handlers take the WPS safety training. (Table 12, line 18)
      Employers (numbering 1,936) are required to make a record of the training. Given the Agency's assumption about the average number of trainings per firm, the Agency calculates that there will be 2,517 training occasions necessitating a record. The estimated time burden for the agricultural establishment employer to collect signatures and file the records of training is 4 minutes (0.067 hours) per training occasion. See line 19. The record must be signed by the trained handler (numbering 14,320), which is assumed to take 30 seconds (0.0083 hours) per handler. (Table 12, line 20)
      The employer must maintain the record for 2 years and provide a record of the same information to the handler upon request. EPA estimates that 16% of handlers (2,291) will request a copy, given the new hire rate of 16%, assumed to represent the turnover rate of handlers. EPA assumes it takes about 2 minutes (0.033 hours) per request for the employer to copy the training record. (Table 12, line 21)
      EPA estimates that the average burden in terms of hours and costs for agricultural worker and handler employers to comply with this requirement is 2,252,912 hours and $ 67,055,858. (Table 12).

	(10) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Information

	The WPS includes requirements for agricultural employers and CPHE employers when certain PPE is used, such as training or instructions that must be provided to employees. In summary, the Agency estimates that the average burden in terms of hours and costs for agricultural establishment employers and their handler employees to comply with these requirements is 210,833 hours and $8,995,212. (Table 13 A)

      For family farms, the Agency estimates that the average burden is 10,643 hours and $ 548,113. (Table 13 B). Lastly, for CPHEs, the Agency estimates that the average burden in terms of hours and costs for CPHE employers and their handler employees is 21,217 hours and $987,505. (Table 13 C)

	The requirements and associated assumptions used to estimate the burden in terms of hours and costs are described below:

      Respirator Users: Medical Evaluation, Fit-Testing and Respirator Training (§170.507(b)(10))

      Agricultural handlers that use products with labeling that requires a respirator must complete a medical evaluation, respirator fit test, and respirator training. Handler employers are required to keep records documenting compliance for 2 years.
 EPA assumes the handler will spend about 30 minutes filling out the medical evaluation, available on-line.
 The fit test and training takes about 30 minutes, which the Agency assumes is taking at an off-farm testing center.
 EPA assumes an agricultural employer spends about one hour of time arranging the medical evaluation, fit test and training.
 EPA assumes that collecting and storing documentation takes the employer 4 minutes (0.07 hours) per handler.

      Agricultural Establishments.  EPA assumes that 75% of all large agricultural establishments (annual revenue of $750,000 or more) that primarily produce crops (NAICS 111) and hire labor will have one handler undergo respirator fit testing and training, thus 42,508 establishments and handlers. Further, 75% of large-small agricultural establishments (annual revenue between $100,000 and $750,000) that primarily produce vegetables (NAICS 1112), fruits and nuts (NAICS 1113), tobacco (11191), and cotton (11192), as well as nurseries and greenhouses (NAICS 1114) and hire labor will have one handler undergo respirator fit testing and training, thus 19,090 establishments and handlers. EPA assumes that establishments that primarily produce livestock (NAICS 112) and large-small farms that produce oilseeds and grain (NAICS 1111) and other crop production, such as forage (NAICS 11193, 11194, and 11199) are less likely to utilize products requiring a respirator. In total, the Agency calculates there will be 61,598 establishments and handlers subject to the requirement. (Table 13 A)

      Family Farms.   Establishments that do not hire workers or handlers (family farm) must also comply with the respirator fit requirements if they use products covered by the WPS that require a respirator. The handlers on these crop-producing establishments are an owner/operator or the immediate family of the owner/operator. EPA assumes that 40% of large family farms (annual revenue of $750,000 or more) that use pesticides and produce oilseeds and grain (NAICS 1111), vegetables (NAICS 1112), fruits and nuts (NAICS 1113), tobacco (11191), and cotton (11192), as well as nurseries and greenhouses (NAICS 1114) will have an operator/handler undergo respirator fit testing and training, thus 4,284 establishments and handlers. Further, 40% of large-small family farms (annual revenue between $100,000 and $750,000) that primarily produce vegetables (NAICS 1112), fruits and nuts (NAICS 1113), tobacco (11191), and cotton (11192), as well as nurseries and greenhouses (NAICS 1114) will have one operator/handler undergo respirator fit testing and training, thus 2,682 establishments and handlers. In total, the Agency calculates there will be 6,966 establishments and handlers subject to the requirement. (Table 13 B)

      CPHEs.  Commercial operations will already obtain respirator fit test and training under OSHA. Under the WPS, CPHE handler employers (1,936) are required to keep records documenting the completion of medical evaluation, respirator fit testing, and respirator training for their handlers that wear respirators. EPA assumes that half of all CPHEs handlers will use a respirator for pesticide products covered by the WPS resulting in 7,160 records. (Table 13 C)

      Cleaners of PPE (§170.507(d)(8))

      Handler employers are required to inform the person who cleans or launders PPE equipment or clothing that the PPE equipment or clothing may be contaminated with pesticides, the harmful effects of exposure to pesticides and the proper method to clean contaminated personal protective equipment or clothing and how to protect themselves. EPA assumes all 304,106 agricultural establishments using pesticides and all 1,936 CPHEs will have to provide this information once annually. The person who cleans or launders is assumed to be a handler. EPA estimates that it takes agricultural and CPHE employers 5 minutes to inform cleaner/launderer persons of this information. (Table 13 A)

      Closed Systems Instructions (§170.607(d))

      Agricultural establishment employers must create and make available at the mixing or loading site operating instructions for closed systems. The employer must ensure that any handler operating the closed system is trained in its use.
       EPA assumes that it takes the employer approximately 2 hours to write down the operating instructions, but that instructions would only have to be updated about every 5 years, for an annual burden of 0.4 hours.
       EPA assumes that the employer spends about 15 minutes (0.25 hours) to train a handler to use the system.

      Agricultural Establishments.  For agricultural establishments, EPA assumes that 50% of the large and establishments producing oilseeds and grain (NAICS 1111), vegetables (NAICS 1112), fruits and nuts (NAICS 1113), tobacco (NAICS 11191), and cotton (NAICS 11192), as well as nurseries and greenhouses (NAICS 1114) or 26,314 establishments will have a closed system. EPA further assumes that 40% of large-small agricultural establishments producing vegetables (NAICS 1112), fruits and nuts (NAICS 1113), tobacco (NAICS 11191), and cotton (NAICS 11192), as well as nurseries and greenhouses (NAICS 1114) or 10,182 establishments will have a closed system. Smaller agricultural establishments (annual revenue less than $100,000) would not typically own such a system. In total, therefore, EPA calculates there will be 36,496 establishments subject to the requirement. EPA assumes an equal number of handlers will receive the training, i.e., one operator per establishment. (Table 13 A)

      Family Farms.  For establishments that do not hire workers or handlers, i.e., rely on family labor, EPA assumes that one-third of large establishments (annual revenue of $750,000 or more) producing oilseeds and grain (NAICS 1111), vegetables (NAICS 1112), fruits and nuts (NAICS 1113), tobacco (11191), and cotton (11192), as well as nurseries and greenhouses (NAICS 1114) or 3,570 establishments will have a closed system.  Further, EPA assumes that the primary owner/operator of all establishments trains one other family member in the operation of the system. (Table 13 B, Lines 4-6)

      CPHEs.  For CPHEs, EPA assumes that all 1,936 establishments have, on average 2 closed systems. Thus, they will create 3,872 sets of operating instructions.  EPA assumes that the firms will train, on average, 4 handlers to operate the system. For self-employed CPHEs (commercial applicators), the Agency assumes all of the estimated 40,336 firms will have 1 closed system. As these firms are assumed to have a single operator, there will not be training associated with these firms.

      (11) Exceptions/Exemptions (§170.605)

	Notification of Exceptions for Early - Entry Activities

	     If the agricultural employer directs a worker to perform activities in a treated area where an REI is in effect (i.e., early entry), the agricultural employer must notify the worker of certain required information regarding that entry, including the location of the early-entry area where work activities are to be performed, pesticide(s) applied, dates and times that the REI begins and ends, the exception to the regulation that allows the early entry description of the tasks performed under the exception, whether contact with treated surfaces is permitted, amount of time the worker is allowed in the treated area, PPE required by the labeling for early entry, and the location of the pesticide safety information and decontamination supplies. The employer must ensure that each early-entry worker has been informed of the labeling requirements and statements related to human hazards, precautions, first aid, and user safety and instructed in prevention, recognition, and first aid treatment of heat-related illness.

      EPA assumes that there will be an event necessitating early entry associated with one out of 50 pesticide applications. EPA further assumes that there are 20 pesticide applications per agricultural establishment per year, on average, implying a 40% chance of an event occurring on an establishment. Given 252,940 farms employing workers and using pesticides, the Agency estimates there will be 101,176 early entry events per year, on average. EPA assumes that it takes the agricultural employer 6 minutes (0.10 hours) on average to obtain the required information and another 6 minutes (0.10 hours) to provide it to the workers going into the treated area.

      EPA assumes that 50% of workers on an establishment will be involved in early entry activities should they occur. Given a 40% chance of an event occurring on an establishment, the Agency estimates that approximately 20% of the 1,742,988 workers employed on an agricultural establishment that applies pesticides, or 348,598 workers, are involved in early-entry events per year. As above, 6 minutes of each involved worker's time will be required for each oral notification during any early-entry events.

      EPA estimates that the total average burden in terms of hours and costs for agricultural employers and their worker/handler employees to comply with this requirement is 55,095 hours and $1,626,014. (Table 14)

      6(c).	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

      This ICR involves activities conducted by respondents, including notification to third parties. EPA does not conduct any activities or collect any information under this ICR so there is no Agency burden and cost to estimate.

      6(d).	Estimating the Total Burden and Costs

The following section provides the respondents' total burden and cost for the activities detailed in the previous tables. Using the estimates for the number of respondents for each activity and the associated per respondent burden and cost estimates derived in the preceding sections, the Agency calculated the total annual burden and costs (Table 15). Because the Agency does not collect information, the Agency does not have any associated burden or cost.

      6(g).	Reasons for Changes in Burden

      The total estimated annual respondent burden for this renewal ICR is 10,448,160 hours. There is no change in the total estimated annual respondent burden from the previous ICR because the number of respondents for the WPS are based primarily on data EPA obtains from the USDA's Census of Agriculture, with the most recent being the 2012 Census. Therefore, the estimated number of potential respondents has remained unchanged until the next available census.

      The burden in this ICR reflects the many regulatory requirements in the WPS regulations, as well as estimates of the number of respondents/responses based on the most current information that is available to EPA. The regulatory requirements include modifications to restrictions in field entry activities during restricted entry intervals; increased hazard communications; increased training (for both workers and handlers); increased posting of pesticide application information; provisions for information during emergency assistance; and recordkeeping for training, application-specific information, and respirator requirements.

      6(h).	Burden Statement

      The total annual respondent burden for providing the training and notifications associated with the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard Regulations is estimated to be 10,448,160 hours. This total estimate includes the third party WPS training and notification requirements, e.g., provisions requiring employers to: provide employees with pesticide-specific treatment (application) information, ensure that employees receive basic pesticide safety training, provide emergency information on pesticide treatments, and notify employees when an exception/exemption to the WPS is being implemented, and provisions requiring handler notification to employers regarding pesticide treatments (applications), etc.

	The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average about 6 minutes per response. 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 Number EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0031, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the OPP Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document lists the statements of findings made by EPA after
review of notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a) that certain new
chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This
document presents statements of findings made by EPA during the period
from August 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019.

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

    TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to review a TSCA section 5(a)
notice and make one of the following specific findings:
     The chemical substance or significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the
chemical substance or significant new use;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects and the
chemical substance or significant new use may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The chemical substance is or will be produced in
substantial quantities, and such substance either enters or may
reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial
quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human
exposure to the substance; or
     The chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment.
    Unreasonable risk findings must be made without consideration of
costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant
under the conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined
in TSCA section 3 to mean ``the circumstances, as determined by the
Administrator, under which a chemical substance is intended, known, or
reasonably foreseen to be manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.''
    EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to publish in the Federal
Register a statement of its findings after its review of TSCA section
5(a) notices (PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs) when EPA makes a finding that a
new chemical substance or significant new use is not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.
    Anyone who plans to manufacture (which includes import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose and any
manufacturer or processor wishing to engage in a use of a chemical
substance designated by EPA as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture or
engaging in the significant new use.
    The submitter of a notice to EPA for which EPA has made a finding
of ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment'' may commence manufacture of the chemical substance or
manufacture or processing for the significant new use notwithstanding
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.
