Because use of linuron on several crops is restricted to certain geographical areas, the established tolerances for the following commodities should be moved from §180.184( a) to §180.184( c): cottonseed, potatoes, and all wheat commodities. In addition, a tolerance for cotton gin byproducts must be proposed under §180.184( c); additional data are required before the appropriate tolerance level may be determined.

Pending Tolerance Petitions:

Dupont has proposed (PP# 4F4293) to increase the established tolerance for wheat straw from 0.5 ppm to 2.0 ppm. This proposal was based on crop field trial data which indicated that the established tolerance was too low. There are no outstanding residue chemistry deficiencies pertaining to this petition.

Dupont proposed (PP# 0F3832) revisions to the established tolerances for potatoes and animal commodities as follows: 0.2 ppm for potatoes; 0.1 ppm for the fat, meat, and meat byproducts, except liver and kidney, of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep; and 1.0 ppm for the liver and kidney of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep. This petition is currently in reject status because of issues pertaining to product chemistry, potato and poultry metabolism, storage stability, crop field trials, processed commodities, and reduction of residues. 56 IR 4 has proposed a tolerance with regional registration (states east of the Mississippi River) for residues of linuron in/ on lettuce at 0.1 ppm (PP# 1E02486). There are no outstanding residue chemistry deficiencies pertaining to this petition.

IR 4 has also proposed tolerances for residues of linuron in/ on taro (corms, including dasheen) and ginger at 1.0 ppm (PP# 3E2920). This petition is currently in reject status because of issues pertaining to product chemistry, storage stability, and field trial data.

IR 4 has proposed a tolerance for residues of linuron in/ on lupin grain, forage, and hay (PP# 2E04419). This petition is currently in reject status because of issues pertaining to product chemistry, poultry metabolism, and crop field trials. 57 (continued; footnotes follow) 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    The Pelham Bay Bridge, mile 0.5, across Hutchinson River has a
vertical clearance in the closed position of 8 feet at mean high water
and 15 feet at mean low water. The existing bridge operating
regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.793(a).
    The waterway has commercial oil barge traffic of various sizes.
    Amtrak requested this temporary deviation from the normal operating
schedule to facilitate essential maintenance repairs.
    Under this temporary deviation, the Pelham Bay Bridge will operate
according to the schedule below:
    a. From 11 p.m. on September 11, 2015 through 5 a.m. on September
14, 2015, the bridge will not open to marine traffic.
    b. From 5 a.m. on September 14, 2015 through 11 p.m. on September

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Sony Corporation To
Withdraw Its American Depositary Shares, Each Presenting One Share of
Common Stock, No Par Value, From Listing and Registration on the
Pacific Exchange, Inc.

December 7, 2005.
    On December 1, 2005, Sony Corporation, a company incorporated in
Japan (``Issuer''), filed an application with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d)
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its American Depositary Shares, each
representing one share of common stock, no par value (``Security''),
from listing and registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer approved a
resolution on October 26, 2005 to withdraw the Security from PCX. The
Issuer stated that the primary factor considered by the Board was that
most of the trading volume in the Security occurs on the New York Stock
Exchange (``NYSE''), with very little trading volume occurring on PCX.
The Security will continue to trade on NYSE. The Issuer believes that
delisting the Security from PCX will cause no substantial inconvenience
to the Issuer's shareholders and investors.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with the
rules of PCX by complying with all applicable laws in effect in Japan,
the jurisdiction in which the Issuer is incorporated and by providing
PCX with the required documents governing the withdrawal of securities
from listing and registration on PCX.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the
Security from listing on PCX and shall not affect its continued listing
on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) of the
Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 781(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any interested person may, on or before January 3, 2006, comment on
the facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in
accordance with the rules of PCX, and what terms, if any, should be
imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment
letters may be submitted by either of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Various stakeholders, inside and outside the
Agency, have called for a more comprehensive characterization of risks,
including uncertainties, in protecting more sensitive or vulnerable
populations and life stages. Therefore, the Office of the Science
Advisor of the EPA, together with EPA's Science Policy Council and
members of EPA's Risk Assessment Forum (RAF), identified a need to
examine the use of probabilistic approaches in Agency risk assessment
and risk management. An RAF Technical Panel developed this White Paper
and the Managers' Summary to provide a general overview of the value of
probabilistic analyses and similar or related methods, and some
examples of current applications across the Agency. The purpose of
these papers is not only to describe potential and actual uses of these
tools in the risk decision process, but also to encourage their further
implementation in human, ecological, and environmental risk analysis
and related decision making. The enhanced use of probabilistic analyses
to characterize uncertainty in assessments would not only reflect
external scientific advice on how to further advance EPA risk
assessment science, but will also help to address specific challenges
faced by managers and improve confidence in Agency decisions. The draft
document was prepared by the Probabilistic Risk Analysis Technical
Panel of EPA's Risk Assessment Forum and has undergone internal peer
review at EPA.

far as their seroreactivity NAT reactivity as far as
resolving some of these issues and what will be actually
defined as a truly infectious donor?
DR. DAYTON:  Do we have anyone who has data
on that or would otherwise like to respond?
Susan?
DR. STRAMER:  I walked all this way to say
that I'm going to defer that until this afternoon.  So
Larry, you're going to have to eat lunch and come back.
(Laughter.)
DR. DAYTON:  Okay, so that's to be
continued.  Do we have any other questions?
AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT:  I'd like to follow
up.  Dr. Biswas asked the question in terms of the HIV
test at that time you have initial positive and
identical nucleic stage, don't see anything.  And then
you see about four days ahead of the p24 assay.  I
wonder if that could be the sensitivity and the virus
goes to the target cell, was maybe a test, like a PBMC
type of thing to indicate that you may be can detect
HIV.
DR. DAYTON:  I'm not sure I understood the
question.  What exactly are you asking?
AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT:  I was asking about

143
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
if you detect in the whole blood such as like PBMC maybe
you can detect HIV RNA in the target cell.
DR. DAYTON:  You're asking in that eclipse
period, can you detect it in the target cell?
AUDIENCE PARTICIPANT:  Right.
DR. DAYTON:  Well, Dr. Heldebrant?
DR. HELDEBRANT:  We don't have any samples
of the PBMCs or the whole blood from these individuals.
These are plasma pheresis donors, so all we can say is
that in the plasma that we would screen, we can't find
it and we've looked for it repeatedly with very
sensitive individual testing and haven't found it.  It
may be in the target cells.  I don't know.  We just
don't have any data on that.
DR. DAYTON:  Thank you.  Any other
questions or comments or -- well, I guess then that
means we've answered all possible questions and we all
need to --
DR. BISWAS:  I've got one question.  Mike
Busch, Mike, my question is I guess I should have been
able to extrapolate it from your very, very excellent
presentation, but what is the longest window period for
NAT testing for the three viruses?  Now, I understand
for HCV there may be intermittent and there may be some

144
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
people who never seroconvert, but what is the longest
period from exposure to NAT positivity that you have
seen for HCV, HIV, and HBV?
DR. BUSCH:  That's a tough question,
because there's not too many studies where you have
serial samples from exposure through to NAT detection.
Most of these studies have screened by NAT and are
following people out and finding the duration of viremia
prior to antibody.  In terms of people who have a
discrete exposure and then how long does it take for
them to become detectably viremic, there's not much
data.  In HIV, I would suspect that's no more than two
or three weeks.  With HCV from the transfusion cases it
seems like it's consistently detected within, again,
about two weeks of exposure, you detect RNA.
DR. BISWAS:  I thought that from one of the
slides that if one sort of did a little arithmetic, that
the longest, zeroing in on the longest, window period
time to NAT positivity was about four weeks, 28 days or
something like that?
DR. BUSCH:  I don't recall that case.
DR. BISWAS:  Okay.
DR. BUSCH:  It's a tough question.
DR. BISWAS:  I have to go back and look at

145
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525

Fax: 202/797-2525
that slide.
DR. TABOR:  I'd like to underline Dr.
Biswas' question because I think we tend to talk, it's
not just your data is fantastic and we're obviously all
indebted to this kind of study, but we tend to talk in
averages and means when we talk about window periods and
I think the actual extremes of the window period, both
the beginning extreme as you were answering and the end
extreme that Dr. Biswas was asking are very much of
interest to people trying to work out a regulatory
position.  So maybe in the future you could include that
in one of your talks.
DR. BUSCH:  Yes, I actually had some slides
at the end, it was giving an overview of a study that we
have developed and looks like it's going to fund and go
forward that's actually, involves a variety of elements,
but probably the most relevant to your question is we've
now with the help, particularly of alpha, compiled a
much larger number of seroconversion panels that are
just phenomenal, literally well over 100 HCV and about
50 HIV new panels that are being extensively
characterized and then they will be studied both by the
single donation and different minipool size NAT assays
to understand how far back prior to antibody from a much

146
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
larger mix of panels can we detect any evidence of
viremia and then in collaboration with Harvey Alter
we're going to be doing infectivity studies similar to
the study that was done, but with again a larger number
of closely spaced plasma samples to ask the question of
is there any infectivity prior to the ability to detect
the virus by even single donation NAT.
DR. TABOR:  The answer could be even
simpler, I mean even using the panels that we have
available now, it will be interesting to know, get the
answer to that question, I think it would be very
useful.
It's terrific that everybody has got us
back on schedule.  It's really rare for that to happen,
and it's time to break for lunch.  I need to tell you
that it has been said that the cafeteria -- I think it's
correct -- the cafeteria downstairs is not serving
lunch, even though it's open for coffee, because of
asbestos removal in the kitchen area.
(Laughter.)
So you'll have to find your way to second
floor cafeteria, and again, if you go straight back past
the Starbucks stand until you can go no further and then
turn left, and go until you find some escalators to take

DR. TABOR:  This afternoon we'll begin with
the session on implementation issues as seen by trade
organizations.  The moderators for this session will be
Dr. Mary Beth Jacobs who is the Acting Director of the
Division of Emerging Transfusion Transmitted Diseases
and Dr. Paul Mied who is the Deputy Director of the same
division.
We will have five or possibly six speakers
in this session, followed by a panel discussion.  I'd
like to ask the speakers to try to keep their remarks to
eight minutes or less so that we can keep it in the time
frame.
I'll turn the microphone over to Dr. Jacobs
and Dr. Mied.
DR. JACOBS:  Good afternoon.  We have two
additional speakers, Dr. Celso Bianco, who is the
President of America's Blood Centers, and also a
representative of IPPIA.  We're changing the order a
little bit.  We're hoping not to have to reboot.  So our
first speaker will be Dr. Richard Gammon.  I'd like to
ask each of the speakers to join us at the table after
their remarks, and for the panel discussion, we're going

149

to be showing an overhead which everyone will see,
giving some implementation questions which have come to
our attention and will ask the panel to discuss those if
they haven't come up in their individual remarks.
So first of all, Dr. Gammon.
DR. GAMMON:  Thank you.  I'm going to talk
this afternoon about the industry perspective from
AIBC's point of view.  Our NAT laboratory is located at
Citrus Regional Blood Center in Lakeland, Florida.  The
location was chosen as one to be least likely affected
by inclement weather such as hurricanes or snowstorms
and has access to multiple major airports including
Orlando and Tampa.
Next slide, please.  Beginning on donations
collected on April 1, 1999, KEDTA plasma pools of 24
2
donations were tested.  There was strict adherence to
the Gen-Probe's transcription mediated amplification
assay procedure and everything has been tested for HCV
and HIV.
Next slide, please.  This slide just
emphasizes the uni-directional work flow in our
laboratory from specimen accessioning to amplification
to the chemiluminescence detection of a viral marker, if
it's present.

202/797-2525

Fax: 202/797-2525
Next slide, please.  This is AIBC's pooling
algorithm.  The pooling TECAN first creates three in
process pools of eight.  It then aspirates from each of
the three in process pools to create master pool of 24
donations.  Each pool master in- process is weighed and
the results are transferred directly into the NAT
laboratory's information system.  If a pool falls
outside the weight range, the pool is voided.
Now I'm not going to go into detail about
the rest of the testing, the remainder of the procedure.
It was covered earlier today.  Just to mention that
again amplification detection of the RNA and HIV and HCV
occurs.
Next slide, please.  This is how specimens,
the flow of specimen testing occurs in our laboratory.
Specimens come in between 3 and 5 a.m. from the blood
collection centers in our accession.  A pool is created
and tested and serological testing occurs concurrently.
NAT results are available between 12 and 1 p.m. on
negative pools and results are faxed or e-mailed to the
various blood collection centers.  The individual
breakout testing then occurs, results are available by
5 to 7 p.m. that day and discriminatory testing occurs
once a week and these results are used for donor

151

counseling purposes.
Next slide, please.  All units since
initiation of testing on April 1st have been released in
Phase II.  Phase II means that there is completed NAP
and completed serological testing on all blood
components including platelets upon release.
Next slide, please.  As far as what AIBC
does for look back.  The collection centers conform to
current look back policies and placed for serological
testing of HIV and HCV for NAT reactive donors.
Specimens NAT reactive, regardless of the serostatus,
look back must be initiated.
Next slide.  Consignees need to be notified
of receipt of units from an NAT reactive donor and
consignees are required to follow FDA guidelines and
their standard operating procedures for notification of
recipients.
Next slide, please.  I was asked to talk
briefly about a few automation issues.  I just want to
mention three of them briefly that were brought up by
our laboratory.  Apparently, we have had some problems
with bent TECAN pipette tips that have resulted in
pipetting errors.  Resolution was that the deck was
realigned.  We've had some ilid block failures that have

152
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
resulted in pipetting errors.  Apparently with the ilid
block failures the pipetter ejects its tips and thinks
it's picked up another tip when it has not.  You end up
with a tip eject error.  What we've been doing is
cleaning, repairing and replacing the ilid block and
apparently it becomes a point that you may need to
recreate the master and the in-process pools.
Next slide, please.  We also have a piece
of plastic that's called a frog leg and these have not
been working as expected either and so you basically
have replaced these.  Apparently, in certain instances
you can end up with a fatal error and then you need to
recreate in-process in master pools and in all of these
issues we've been working very closely with Gen-Probe on
to get resolved.
Next slide, please.  I want to talk briefly
about software issues, especially those that are unique
to AIBC.  With the advent of NAT, AIBC felt the need
exists for specialized computer programs to provide
process control.  We designed our own NAT computer
software package with specialized programs to number
one, identify pool samples which have not been
individually accessioned; number two, validate the
reading of the sample numbers in each pool; and number

153
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
three, to confirm the presence of 24 individuals samples
in a positive pool for individual testing.
Now talking briefly about each of those
programs, the pooled not accessioned program, this
identifies any NAT sample which has been involved in the
pooling step which has inadvertently not been
accessioned.  It's run after the pooling program and
provides an opportunity to accession any sample missed.
It validates the sample number based upon collection
site, identifies date of receipt and allows for result
reporting.  It also is important in billing since
billing is based upon the accessioning of samples.  If
the sample is not accessioned, we can't bill for it.
Next slide.  Validate pool files.  This
evaluates the reading of the unique NAT identification
number which identifies both the collection site and the
individual donation on each sample.  This program flags
misreads allowing for the timely correction prior to
updating the pooling files.  A misread includes if you
did not have the two digit alpha site code, each of our
collection sites are assigned a two digit alpha code and
if it does not have the seven digit donor number.  This
was a bigger problem especially early on in testing
before collection centers were familiar with where to

154
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
put the labels.
Next slide, please.  Master pool
confirmation.  This provides a mechanism to confirm that
the correct individual samples have been selected when
preparing to test the 24 individual samples from a
reactive pool.  After entering the master pool number
for the reactive pool, the operator bar code scans each
individual sample number from the sample selected.
Should the sample be entered which is not a member of
the reactive pool, the program notifies the operator and
allows the opportunity to take corrective action.
Next slide, please.  Results of the
software, the pool not accessioned program, less than
one percent of the 236,000 samples processed in 9800
pools bypassed initial accessioning.  The validation
pool files was most beneficial in cases of misplacement
of the bar coded collection site-specific unit number
and this was a bigger problem earlier on in testing.
Less than one percent of the samples were flagged by
this program.
Next slide, please.  In the master pool
confirmation, has insured correct placement for all
members, 100 percent of the 324 positive master pools
detected as of November 30, 1999.  I refer you also to

155
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
these issues about the software, were presented at the
ABB and are in the supplement for the meeting in an
abstract form.
Next slide, please.  Access to NAT testing.
AIBC's IND allows for testing of approximately 500,000
units over a 12-month period.
Next slide, please.  Our participants
include AIBC members, non-AIBC members, free standing
blood banks, and hospital-based blood banks.  To my
knowledge, most of the quals of blood collection centers
looking for testing come to me.  AIBC has never turned
away anyone looking for NAT testing.  We have collection
centers going from 2,000 units up to 100,000 plus.  So
access is open to anyone that is interested in testing
with AIBC.
Next slide, please.  A little bit about the
process of how access is gained toward testing through
AIBC.  Principal investigator, myself, was contacted.
I sent out an investigator's handbook.  The individual
collection center needs to get IRB approval.  They can
usually use their own IRB if they have one or they can
use AIBC's if they do not have one.  Of course, there's
a period of questions.  They need to order supplies, get
a donor number applicator, PPT tubes, develop their

156
S A G  CORP.S A G  CORP.
202/797-2525
Washington, D.C.
Fax: 202/797-2525
standard operating procedures and we provide a model for
that in the investigator's handbook.  The donor number
applicator needs to be validated and staff needs to be
trained and documentation of that training needs to be
in place in the NAT laboratory.  And at that point in
time they can go ahead and implement NAT testing on
their donations.
Next slide, please.  So how do we go about
setting up an NAT laboratory?  Well, last fall we had to
determine what method we wanted to use.  Did we want to
use PCR?  Did we want to use TMA?  Those were the two
methods available and are still available at this time.
We also had to decide, we had to choose a site, build
an NAT lab.  AIBC has about 30 members and we had to
pick where to put one.  We decided to use an existing
facility that had -- was fairly new, had an extra
warehouse for storage space, so that helped cut down on
cost and that's how we decided where to put our
laboratory at Citrus Regional Blood Center.  We had to
obtain a clinical review officer and submit an IND.  We
also had to develop a client base.  I mean building an
NAT laboratory is expensive and the testing also
generates a cost, so we have to have a client base to do
the testing and the client base have to find a courier

157

202/797-2525

system to get the specimens down to the laboratory in a
timely manner.  That's why the bulk of our specimens go
through Orlando just because of the large number of
direct flights.  Once we got IND approval and IRB
approval, we could go ahead and initiate testing.  I put
this little loop -- and that happened in April.  I put
this little loop of continuous because every time a new
client wants to come on board, they need to get their
IRB approval, go through what we talked about in the
previous slide, then they can go ahead and initiate
testing.
Next slide, please.  In conclusion, our
coordinator work flow has allowed rapid turnaround time
and has allowed us to be maintained in Phase II since
initiation of testing or units have been released in
Phase II with completed NAT and completed serological
testing.  The result is minimal impact on product
release.  All platelets have been able to be
-- all cellular components, including platelets have
been able to be released and fully tested and may
potentially improve patient transfusion safety.
Thank you very much.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2021-0043]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this provides the public notice that by letter dated March 31,
2021, Denver Transit Operators (DTO) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part
236, Rules, Standards, and Instructions Governing the Installation,
Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair of Signal and Train Control
Systems, Devices, and Appliances. FRA assigned the petition Docket
Number FRA-2021-0043.
    Specifically, DTO seeks relief from the 2-year periodic testing
requirements in 49 CFR 236.377, Approach locking; 49 CFR 236.378, Time
locking; 49 CFR 236.379, Route locking; 49 CFR 236.380, Indication
locking; and 49 CFR 236.381, Traffic locking. DTO also requests relief
from the 1-year periodic testing period of 49 CFR 236.109, Time
releases, timing relays, and timing devices, on all vital
microprocessor-based systems.
    DTO states that all control points and other locations are
controlled by solid-state vital microprocessor-based systems, which
utilize programmed logic equations in lieu of relays or other
mechanical components for control of both vital and non-vital
functions. DTO further states that the logic does not change once a
microprocessor-based system has been tested and that locking tests are
documented on installation.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. 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 and may be submitted by any of the following

     Mail: Docket Operations Facility, U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, W12-140, Washington, DC

    Communications received by June 7, 2021 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments received after that date will be
considered if practicable.
    Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications
and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the
individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if
