DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2015-0001; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1468]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The flood hazard
determination information may be changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to

adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or
remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

    Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.)
manufacturers and importers of on-highway motorcycles must have a
certificate of conformity issued by EPA covering any vehicle they
intend to offer for sale in the United States. A certificate of
conformity represents that the respective vehicle conforms to all
applicable emissions requirements. In issuing a certificate of
conformity, EPA reviews vehicle information and emissions test data to
determine if the required testing has been performed and the required
emissions levels have been demonstrated. After a certificate of
conformity has been issued, the Agency may request additional
information to verify that the product continues to meet its certified
emissions standards throughout its useful life. 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. The current ICR for on-highway motorcycle
emissions certification and compliance information is set to expire on
September 30, 2016. This program was previously included under the
current ICR for light-duty vehicle

emissions certification and in-use testing [EPA ICR No. 0783.62, OMB
Control No. 2060-0104].

II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of January 6, 2010 (75 FR 864) (FRL-8801-
5), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
8F7509) by Valent U.S.A Corporation, 1600 Riviera Avenue, Suite 200,
Walnut Creek, CA 94596. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.577 be
amended by establishing tolerances for residues of the herbicide
bispyribac-sodium, sodium, 2,6-bis[(4,6-dimethoxy-pyrimidin-2-
yl)oxy]benzoate, in or on fish, freshwater at 0.01 parts per million
(ppm). That notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by
Valent U.S.A Corporation, the registrant, which is available in the
docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in
response to the notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
revised the proposed tolerance expression. The reason for this change
is explained in Unit IV.C.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(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 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 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. * *
*''
    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors
specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to
make a determination on aggregate exposure for bispyribac-sodium
including exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this
action. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with
bispyribac-sodium follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies 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.
    The toxicological database for bispyribac-sodium is complete with
the exception of immunotoxicity, acute neurotoxicity, and subchronic
neurotoxicity studies, as well as a 28-day inhalation study.
Bispyribac-sodium has a low acute toxicity profile and is not a dermal
sensitizer. The liver and bile duct were identified as the target
organs in the subchronic and chronic toxicity studies in rats, mice,
and dogs, and the reproductive toxicity

study in rats. Repeated dermal applications at the limit dose did not
elicit systemic toxicity or dermal irritation. Bispyribac-sodium was
negative for carcinogenicity in feeding studies in rats and mice and is
classified as a ``not likely human carcinogen'' and mutagenicity
studies conducted with the parent and three major metabolites were
negative. There was no evidence of fetal toxicity or offspring
susceptibility in the developmental toxicity studies in rats and
rabbits or in the reproductive toxicity study in rats. Bispyribac-
sodium has shown no indications of central or peripheral nervous system
toxicity in any study and does not appear to be structurally related to
any other chemical that causes adverse nervous system effects.
    Acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies are not available for
bispyribac-sodium. There were clinical signs of potential neurotoxicity
(i.e., piloerection, subnormal temperature, and decreased spontaneous
motor activity) in the combined rat chronic/carcinogenicity study.
However, these clinical signs occurred at a low incidence in the high
dose group and were not dose-dependent. The primary effects of the
study were based on macro- and microscopic changes in the liver and
choldedochus, decreased body weights, and decreased food efficiency.
There are no other signs of neurotoxicity in the database.
    Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the
adverse effects caused by bispyribac-sodium as well as the no-observed-
adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-
level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in the document ``Bispyribac-sodium; Human-Health
Risk Assessment for New Product Registration for Aquatic Uses on
Freshwater Fish'' at page 28 in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0796.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to
determine the dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL)
and the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified
(the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are used in conjunction with
the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--generally referred to as a
population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe
margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes
that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the
Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of
the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the
general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary
exposure to bispyribac-sodium, EPA considered exposure under the
petitioned-for tolerances as well as all existing bispyribac-sodium
tolerances in 40 CFR 180.577. EPA assessed dietary exposures from
bispyribac-sodium in food as follows:
    i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk
assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide, if a toxicological
study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring
as a result of a 1-day or single exposure.
    No such effects were identified in the toxicological studies for
bispyribac-sodium; therefore, a quantitative acute dietary exposure
assessment is unnecessary.
    ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure
assessment EPA used the food consumption data from the USDA 1994-1996
and 1998 CSFII. As to residue levels in food, EPA assumed tolerance-
level residues (for all registered and proposed new uses), default
processing factors, and 100% crop treated (CT).
    iii. Cancer. Based on the data summarized in Unit III.A., EPA has
concluded that bispyribac-sodium does not pose a cancer risk to humans.
Therefore, a dietary exposure assessment for the purpose of assessing
cancer risk is unnecessary.
    iv. Anticipated residue and percent crop treated (PCT) information.
EPA did not use anticipated residue and/or PCT information in the
dietary assessment for bispyribac-sodium. Tolerance level residues and/
or 100% CT were assumed for all food commodities.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. Because currently used
Tier 1 aquatic exposure models are used to simulate agricultural uses
and are not appropriate for determining estimated drinking water
concentrations (EDWCs) for aquatic uses of pesticides applied directly
to surface water bodies, the Agency used the maximum annual label
target rate of 180 ppb for subsurface injection of bispyribac-sodium
into water. This value represents the maximum cumulative concentration
in water based on four applications, at unspecified intervals, needed
to achieve a 45-ppb level of bispyribac-sodium in the water column.
Because bispyribac-sodium is only moderately persistent and will
undergo degradation in the environment between applications, this value
can be considered conservative.
    For chronic dietary risk assessment, the water concentration of
value 180 ppb was used to assess the contribution to drinking water and
was incorporated directly into the dietary assessment.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control,
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets).
    Bispyribac-sodium is currently registered for the following uses
that could result in residential exposures: golf courses and sod farms.
EPA assessed residential exposure using the following assumptions: No
residential handler exposure is expected from the proposed and
registered uses of bispyribac-sodium. Residential postapplication
exposure following use of bispyribac-sodium on golf courses and sod
farms is possible. A dermal postapplication assessment was not
performed since there is no short-term dermal point of departure. For
the proposed aquatic use, there is a potential for exposure to
recreational users (i.e., swimmers) in these water bodies.
Postapplication exposure and risks were developed for the non-
competitive adult and child swimmer. Exposure is expected to be short-
term; however, since the short- and intermediate-term points of
departure are the same, the short-term assessment is protective of
intermediate-term exposures. Only oral postapplication exposure to
recreational swimmers was assessed.
    Further information regarding EPA standard assumptions and generic
inputs for residential exposures may be found at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/trac/science/trac6a05.pdf.
    4. 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 bispyribac-sodium to share a common mechanism of
toxicity with any other substances, and bispyribac-sodium does not
appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For
the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that
bispyribac-sodium 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.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA
shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) 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 database on toxicity
and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a
different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This
additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA Safety
Factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either retains the default
value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety factor when
reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a different
factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There is no indication of
quantitative or qualitative increased susceptibility of rats or rabbits
to in utero or postnatal exposure to bispyribac-sodium. In the rat
prenatal developmental toxicity study in rats, no toxicity was observed
in the dams or the fetuses up to the highest dose tested (1000 mg/kg/
day). In the rabbit prenatal developmental toxicity study, the dams
were more susceptible than the fetuses. Maternal toxicity at the LOAEL
of 300 mg/kg/day included lethargy, diarrhea, and decreased body weight
gain. There were no fetal effects. In the 2-generation reproduction
study, the parents were more susceptible to than the offspring. At the
parental LOAEL of 75.7 mg/, effects observed included mild choledocus
(bile duct) hyperplasia. There were no reproductive effects. At the
offspring LOAEL of 759 mg/kg/day, effects observed were decreased body
weights and body-weight gains, liver weights, and increased incidence
of consolidation and circumscribed areas in the liver.
    3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show the
safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the
FQPA SF were reduced to 1X. That decision is based on the following
findings:
    i. The toxicity database for bispyribac-sodium is complete with the
exception of immunotoxicity, acute neurotoxicity, subchronic
neurotoxicity and a 28-day inhalation study.
    The concern for neurotoxicity is low and there is no need for a
developmental neurotoxicity study or additional UFs to account for
neurotoxicity. There are no indications in any of the studies available
that the nervous system is a target for

bispyribac-sodium. Although there were clinical signs potentially
indicative of neurotoxicity (e.g., piloerection, subnormal temperature,
and decreased spontaneous motor activity) in the combined rat chronic/
carcinogenicity study, these effects were considered secondary to the
critical effects (macro- and microscopic changes in the liver and
choldedochus, decreased body weights, and decreased food efficiency).
Additionally, treatment-related clinical signs only occurred at the
highest dose tested (404 mg/kg/day) and were not dose-dependent. These
effects are therefore attributed to general, systemic toxicity, not
neurotoxicity. Although acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies are
now required as part of the revisions to 40 CFR part 158, the Agency
does not believe that conducting these studies will result in a lower
point of departure (POD) than that currently used for overall risk
assessment, and therefore, a database uncertainty factor
(UFDB) is not needed to account for lack of these studies.
The toxicology database for bispyribac-sodium does not show any
evidence of treatment-related effects on the immune system. The overall
weight of evidence suggests that this chemical does not directly target
the immune system. An immunotoxicity study is required as a part of new
data requirements in the 40 CFR part 158 for conventional pesticide
registration; however, the Agency does not believe that conducting a
functional immunotoxicity study will result in a lower point of
departure than that currently used for overall risk assessment, and
therefore, a database uncertainty factor (UFDB) is not
needed to account for lack of this study. A 28-day inhalation study is
not available; however, the Agency has determined that the additional
FQPA SF is not needed. Based on the very low vapor pressure of
bispyribac-sodium (3.79 x 10-11 at 25[deg]C) and because the
residential use pattern is limited to golf courses and swimming areas,
minimal potential for inhalation exposure is expected. Therefore, the
risk estimate is conservative and is considered protective and the
additional FQPA SF is not needed.
    ii. There is no indication that bispyribac-sodium is a neurotoxic
chemical and there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study
or additional UFs to account for neurotoxicity.
    iii. There is no evidence that bispyribac-sodium results in
increased susceptibility in in utero rats or rabbits in the prenatal
developmental studies or in young rats in the 2-generation reproduction
study.
    iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure
databases. The dietary food exposure assessments were performed based
on 100% CT and tolerance-level residues. EPA made conservative
(protective) assumptions in the ground and surface water modeling used
to assess exposure to bispyribac-sodium in drinking water. EPA used
similarly conservative assumptions to assess postapplication exposure
of children as well as incidental oral exposure of toddlers. These
assessments will not underestimate the exposure and risks posed by
bispyribac-sodium.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    EPA determines whether acute and chronic dietary pesticide
exposures are safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the
acute PAD (aPAD) and chronic PAD (cPAD). For linear cancer risks, EPA
calculates the lifetime probability of acquiring cancer given the
estimated aggregate exposure. Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term
risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate food, water,
and residential exposure to the appropriate PODs to ensure that an
adequate MOE exists.
    1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into
account acute exposure estimates from dietary consumption of food and
drinking water. No adverse effect resulting from a single oral exposure
was identified and no acute dietary endpoint was selected. Therefore,
bispyribac-sodium is not expected to pose an acute risk.
    2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to
bispyribac-sodium from food and water will utilize 12.5% of the cPAD
for infants (<1 year old) the population group receiving the greatest
exposure. Based on the explanation in Unit III.C.3., regarding
residential use patterns, chronic residential exposure to residues of
bispyribac-sodium is not expected.
    3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into
account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food
and water (considered to be a background exposure level).
    Bispyribac-sodium is currently registered for uses that could
result in short-term residential exposure, and the Agency has
determined that it is appropriate to aggregate chronic exposure through
food and water with short-term residential exposures to bispyribac-
sodium.
    Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for short-
term exposures, EPA has concluded the combined short-term food, water,
and residential exposures result in aggregate MOEs of 25,000 for the
U.S. general population, 26,000 for adults 50+ years old, and 7,700 for
all infants (<1 year old). Because EPA's level of concern for
bispyribac-sodium is a MOE of 100 or below, these MOEs are not of
concern.
    4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure
takes into account intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic
exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure
level). Because no intermediate-term adverse effect was identified,
bispyribac-sodium is not expected to pose an intermediate-term risk.
However, since the short- and intermediate-term points of departure are
the same, the short-term aggregate assessment is protective of
intermediate-term exposures.
    5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Based on the lack of
evidence of carcinogenicity in two adequate rodent carcinogenicity
studies, bispyribac-sodium is not expected to pose a cancer risk to
humans.
    6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the general population, or to infants and children from aggregate
exposure to bispyribac-sodium residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology (high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) with tandem mass spectroscopy detection (MS/MS))
is available to enforce the tolerance expression. The method may be
requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch, Environmental
Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350; telephone
number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
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 U.N. 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 bispyribac-sodium.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances

    EPA is revising the requested tolerance expression for bispyribac-
sodium. The revised tolerance expression makes clear that the
tolerances cover residues of the herbicide bispyribac-sodium, including
its metabolites and degradates, but that compliance with the tolerance
levels is to be determined by measuring only bispyribac-sodium, (2,6-
bis[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy]benzoic acid, sodium salt), in or
on the commodity. EPA has determined that it is reasonable to make this
change final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because public comment is not necessary, in that the change has no
substantive effect on the tolerance, but rather is merely intended to
clarify the existing tolerance expression.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of bispyribac-
sodium, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on fish,
freshwater at 0.01 ppm. Compliance with the tolerance level is to be
determined by measuring only bispyribac-sodium, (2,6-bis[(4,6-
dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy]benzoic acid, sodium salt), in or on the
commodity.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of
FFDCA 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 final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule 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 final rule 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 section 408(d) of FFDCA, 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 final rule 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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 final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4).
    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 of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH Model DA 40 NG airplanes. This AD
results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by the aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as possible loss of engine power and emergency
landing with consequent damage to the airplane and occupant injury
caused by a manufacturing quality deficiency in a batch of V-clamps
that could cause the V-clamp to crack and fail. We are issuing this AD
to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent

for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD No.
2016-0203, dated October 10, 2016 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    Failures of V-clamps, Part Number (P/N) E4A-41-000-002,
installed on the turbochargers, have been reported on DA 40 NG
aeroplanes. One of the failures resulted in engine power loss and
subsequent emergency landing. Preliminary investigations identified
a manufacturing quality deficiency in a batch of V-clamps as the
possible cause of these failures.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
further occurrences of engine power loss, possibly resulting in an
emergency landing with consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury
to occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, DAI designed an
improved V-clamp, P/N D44-9081-26-03, and issued Mandatory Service
Bulletin (MSB) 40NG-046 (later revised), providing instructions to
identify all the parts suspected to be part of the affected batch,
and to replace these with the new V-clamp. The MSB also introduces
repetitive inspections of all turbocharger V-clamps, irrespective of
P/N.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires repetitive
visual inspections of the V-clamps and, depending on findings,
replacement. This AD also requires replacement of certain V-clamps
with improved clamps.

You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-9369.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Diamond Aircraft Industries GmbH has issued Mandatory Service
Bulletin MSB 40NG-046/2, dated July 22, 2016, and Work Instruction WI-
MSB 40NG-046, dated July 14, 2016. In combination, this service
information describes procedures for inspecting the V-clamp for cracks
and for correct installation and for replacing cracked and incorrectly
installed V-clamps with parts of improved design. 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 of this AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because a
manufacturing quality deficiency in a batch of V-clamps could cause the
V-clamp to crack and fail. Failure of the V-clamp could result in loss
of engine power and possible emergency landing, which could result in
damage to the airplane and occupant injury. Therefore, we determined
that notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD
are impracticable and that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2016-9369; Directorate
Identifier 2016-CE-034-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 22 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the inspection requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the inspection in
this AD on U.S. operators to be $1,870, or $85 per product.
    We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the replacement requirement of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $75 per
product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the replacement in
this AD on U.S. operators to be $3,520, or $160 per product.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591. ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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 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 the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) 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.
