(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on November 10, 2014, ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear Europe'')

Items have been prepared primarily by ICE Clear Europe. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The principal purpose of the proposed changes is to establish a
risk committee (the ``Board Risk Committee'') which would advise the
ICE Clear Europe Board (the ``Board'') on certain clearing house-wide
risk management matters.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, ICE Clear Europe included
statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule
change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule
change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places
specified in Item IV below. ICE Clear Europe has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant
aspects of these statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

(a) Purpose
    The purpose of the amendments is for ICE Clear Europe to establish
the Board Risk Committee. Establishment of the Board Risk Committee is
required under Article 28 of the European Market Infrastructure
Regulation (``EMIR''),\3\ which will apply to ICE Clear Europe as an
authorized central counterparty. The Board Risk Committee will advise
the Board with respect to various firm-wide risk management matters,
with the goal of enabling the Board to ensure that ICE Clear Europe (i)
implements and maintains agreed risk management procedures, processes
and controls, (ii) provides appropriate access to participation in its
clearing services and (iii) appropriately considers the interests of
non-clearing member users of cleared products, including with respect
to account segregation and collateral protection. The activities of the
Board Risk Committee will relate to all categories of products cleared
at ICE Clear Europe, and are in addition to ICE Clear Europe's existing
product-specific risk committees (F&O, CDS and FX).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 4 July 2012 on OTC derivatives, central
counterparties and trade repositories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to its terms of reference, the Board Risk Committee will
report directly to the Board and receive and review all recommendations
from each of the product-specific risk committees. The Board Risk
Committee will undertake at least annual reviews of business risk
mitigation procedures and controls and will have oversight of all risks
facing ICE Clear Europe, including counterparty credit risk (across all
clearing services) and non-counterparty credit risk matters, such as
operational and liquidity risk. The Board Risk Committee will also
advise the Board

regarding any arrangements that may materially impact the risk
management of ICE Clear Europe, such as a significant change in its
criteria for accepting clearing members, clearing in new markets, or
outsourcing of certain functions. The advice of the Board Risk
Committee is not required for the daily operations of ICE Clear Europe.
    The Board Risk Committee will be provided (in addition to other
relevant information) with results and analysis of back-testing,
sensitivity testing, stress testing and reverse stress testing in
respect of any review of margin models, methodologies and/or the
liquidity risk management framework. The Board Risk Committee will also
consider any other issues that may be referred to it by the Board and/
or executive, including the exercise of discretion in relation to
recovery arrangements under the Rules.
    In the course of its work the Board Risk Committee may obtain
external legal or other independent advice and secure the attendance of
third parties with relevant experience and expertise if it considers
this necessary.
    The Board Risk Committee will consist of at least two and up to
four Clearing Member representatives and at least two and up to four
customer representatives, in each case appointed by the Chairman of the
Board Risk Committee following consideration by the ICE Clear Europe
Nominations Committee. The Chairman of the Board Risk Committee will be
an independent non-executive director of ICE Clear Europe appointed by
the Board and will be a full voting member of the committee. Any member
of the Board Risk Committee may be removed by the Board without cause.
The composition of the Board Risk Committee will be reviewed on an
annual basis to determine whether the committee has appropriate
representation of Clearing Members, customers and independent non-
executive directors, and appropriate representation of expertise and
experience in relevant risk disciplines, including market, credit and
operational risk. Based on this review, the Chairman may determine to
request the resignation of one or more committee members and/or appoint
one or more additional committee members to achieve such appropriate
representation.
    The ICE Clear Europe Chief Risk Officer, President and other
appropriate ICE Clear Europe staff members will attend Board Risk
Committee meetings in a non-voting capacity. In addition, the chairs of
any groups or committees involved in the development of risk policies
and a representative from each of the markets cleared by ICE Clear
Europe will have a right to attend, but not vote, at Board Risk
Committee meetings. The Board Risk Committee may also invite external
independent experts to attend meetings in a non-voting capacity. A
quorum will be a minimum of four members, one of whom must be a
customer representative and one of whom must be a Clearing Member
representative. (The Chairman of the committee will count toward the
quorum for this purpose.) Each Board Risk Committee member will have
one vote and decisions of the Board Risk Committee will be made by a
simple majority, provided that if the committee is evenly divided, the
Chairman may cast a deciding vote (in addition to the Chairman's normal
vote as a member of the committee). Meetings will be held as needed and
at least quarterly.
(b) Statutory Basis
    ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \4\ and the
regulations thereunder applicable to it, including the standards under
Rule 17Ad-22.\5\ Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \6\ requires, among
other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to
promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities
transactions and, to the extent applicable, derivative agreements,
contracts, and transactions. The establishment of the Board Risk
Committee is intended to enhance the governance structure and overall
risk management of the Clearing House, in compliance with the
requirements of EMIR. As described above, the Board Risk Committee is
intended to advise the Board with respect to a range of enterprise-wide
risk management matters across all product categories. It is also
designed to provide appropriate representation for both Clearing
Members and customers, and thereby to enable the Board to ensure that
it provides appropriate access to participation in clearing services
and that the interests of Clearing Members and customers are
appropriately considered. As a result, ICE Clear Europe believes that
the proposed rule change will promote the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of cleared transactions, and in general is designed to
protect investors and the public interest, within the meaning of
Section 17A(b)(3)(F).\7\ In addition, the change is consistent with the
requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(d)(8),\8\ which requires that a clearing
agency have governance arrangements that are clear and transparent to
fulfill the public interest requirements of Section 17A of the Act
applicable to clearing agencies, to support the objectives of owners
and participants, and to promote the effectiveness of the clearing
agency's risk management procedures. As set forth above, the Board Risk
Committee is intended to enhance the Board's ability to oversee
enterprise-wide risk management for all product categories, and to
provide representation to, and take into account the interests of, both
Clearing Members and their customers.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICE Clear Europe does not believe the proposed amendments would
have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The change will
not affect the terms or conditions of any cleared contract or the
standards or requirements for participation in or use of the Clearing
House, and accordingly should not, in the Clearing House's view, affect
the availability of clearing, access to clearing services or the costs
of clearing for clearing members or other market participants. ICE
Clear Europe further believes that the establishment of the Board Risk
Committee will strengthen its risk management capabilities and
governance, as required in order to comply with EMIR. As a result, ICE
Clear Europe believes that any impact on competition is appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed changes to the rules have
not been solicited or received. ICE Clear Europe will notify the
Commission of any written comments received by ICE Clear Europe.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days of such
date (i) as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as
to which the self-regulatory

organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change; or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of August 1, 2014 (79 FR 44729) (FRL-9911-
67), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide tolerance
petition (PP 3F8195) by D-I-1-4, Inc., a division of 1,4-Group, Inc.
(the Petitioner), P.O. Box 860, Meridian, ID 83360. The petition
requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 1-octanol, applied
post-harvest to stored potatoes and other sprouting root and tuber
crops. That document referenced a summary of the

petition prepared by the Petitioner, which is available in the docket,
http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response
to the notice of filing.
    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Pursuant to FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), in
establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in
FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C), which require 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. . .
. '' Additionally, EPA is required to take into account the factors set
forth in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D).
    EPA performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from
aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. First, EPA determines the
toxicity of pesticides. Second, EPA examines exposure to the pesticide
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings.

III. Toxicological Profile

    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability,
and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children.

A. Overview of 1-Octanol

    1-Octanol, or octyl alcohol, is a linear saturated aliphatic
alcohol containing eight carbons. It is classified as a biochemical
pesticide and functions as a plant growth regulator (PGR) by inhibiting
sprout growth on stored potatoes and other sprouting root and tuber
crops when applied after harvesting.
    There is a significant history of human dietary exposure to 1-
octanol. 1-Octanol occurs naturally in the essential oils of green tea,
grapefruit, California orange, bitter orange, Turkish rose and
Bulgarian rose. 1-Octanol has also been identified as a component of
fried bacon, roasted filberts, raw and roasted earth almonds, mutton,
chicken, pork, raw beef, frankfurters, nectarines, apple juice, common
guava, Gruyere cheese and in foods processed from cassava root. The
amount of 1-octanol has been quantified in some foods: Fermented
soybean curds were found to contain 164.8 to 337.1 micrograms per
kilogram (ug/kg) of 1-octanol, and duck meat and duck fat were found to
contain 1-octanol as a volatile component at 8.88 parts per billion
(ppb) and 12.69 ppb, respectively. 1-Octanol is approved by the FDA for
use as a direct food additive under 21 CFR 172.230 in microcapsules for
flavoring substances and under 21 CFR 172.515 as a synthetic flavoring
substance and adjuvant.
    EPA has already determined under the FFDCA that there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposures
to 1-octanol, when 1-octanol is used as an inert ingredient
(specifically as a solvent or co-solvent) in pesticide products applied
to food. In addition, 1-octanol has been registered for use as an
active ingredient to control tobacco sucker and as an inert ingredient
for nonfood and fragrance uses.
    For a summary of the data upon which EPA relied, and its human
health risk assessment based on that data, please refer to the March
13, 2015 document entitled: ``Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) Considerations for 1-Octanol'' available in the docket for this
action.

B. Biochemical Pesticide Toxicology Data Requirements

    All applicable mammalian toxicology data requirements supporting
the petition to establish an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for the use of 1-octanol as an active ingredient, post-
harvest, on root and tuber vegetables have been fulfilled. No
significant toxicological effects were observed in any of the acute
toxicity studies and no toxic endpoints were established as a result of
these studies. In addition, data and information submitted indicate
that 1-octanol is not genotoxic. A developmental toxicity study
(subchronic) revealed increased salivation (maternal) at 1,000
milligrams 1-octanol per kilogram body weight (mg/kg); however, the
Agency does not consider this to be an adverse effect because the
effect occurs at a very high dose, much higher dose than the level at
which humans are likely to be exposed, given the half-life of this
substance and the classification of the pesticide: A plant growth
regulator intended for use before long-term storage. EPA concludes that
1-octanol has no subchronic toxic effects and is not a developmental
toxicant. There are no known effects of 1-octanol on endocrine systems
via oral, dermal, or inhalation routes of exposure.

IV. Aggregate Exposures

    In examining aggregate exposure, FFDCA section 408 directs EPA to
consider available information concerning exposures from the pesticide
residue in food and all other non-occupational exposures, including
drinking water from ground water or surface water and exposure through
pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or buildings (residential and other
indoor uses).

A. Dietary Exposure

    The proposed use patterns may result in dietary exposure to 1-
octanol, however, dietary exposure as a result of the application of 1-
octanol to post-harvest potatoes and other root tubers is expected to
be insignificant. 1-Octanol is volatile and is expected to degrade in
the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl
radicals; its half-life is estimated to be from 3.5 minutes to 1.3
days. The typical length of time between application of the pesticide
and consumption of the potatoes will exceed this half-life. Therefore,
residues of 1-octanol are unlikely to occur at the time of consumption.
No significant exposure via drinking water is expected from its use as
an active ingredient in this pesticide as 1-octanol is applied indoors
only. Some dietary exposure is expected from the use of 1-octanol as an
inert ingredient in pesticide formulations.
    Some dietary exposure to 1-octanol might occur through other
nonpesticidal sources as a result of its natural presence in other
foods or from its use as a food additive and flavoring substance.
Should exposure occur, however, minimal to no risk is expected for the
general population, including infants and children, due to the low
toxicity of 1-octanol.

B. Other Non-Occupational Exposure

    Other non-occupational exposure to 1-octanol from pesticidal use
may occur in tobacco products from its use on

tobacco or in or on other food and non-food commodities, as a result of
its use as a pesticide inert ingredient. However, minimal to no risk is
expected for the general population, including infants and children,
due to the low toxicity of this chemical as demonstrated in the data
submitted and evaluated by the Agency, as fully explained in the March
13, 2015 document entitled: ``Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) Considerations for 1-Octanol'' available in the docket for this
action.

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

    Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering
whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency
consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of
a particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances that have a
common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA has not found 1-octanol to share a common mechanism of toxicity
with any other substances, and 1-octanol does not appear to produce a
toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that 1-octanol does not
have a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances. For
information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which chemicals have a
common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of
such chemicals, see EPA's Web site at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

VI. Determination of Safety for U.S. Population, Infants and Children

    FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides that, in considering the
establishment of a tolerance or tolerance exemption for a pesticide
chemical residue, EPA shall assess the available information about
consumption patterns among infants and children, special susceptibility
of infants and children to pesticide chemical residues, and the
cumulative effects on infants and children of the residues and other
substances with a common mechanism of toxicity. In addition, FFDCA
section 408(b)(2)(C) 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 that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants
and children. This additional margin of safety is commonly referred to
as the Food Quality Protection Act Safety Factor (FQPA)(SF). In
applying this provision, EPA either retains the default value of 10X,
or uses a different additional or no safety factor when reliable data
are available to support a different additional or no safety factor.
    As part of its qualitative assessment, EPA evaluated the available
toxicity and exposure data on 1-octanol and considered its validity,
completeness, and reliability, as well as the relationship of this
information to human risk. EPA considers the toxicity database to be
complete and has identified no residual uncertainty with regard to
prenatal and postnatal toxicity or exposure. No hazard was identified
based on the available studies; therefore, EPA concludes that there are
no threshold effects of concern to infants, children, or adults from 1-
octanol. As a result, EPA concludes that no additional margin of
exposure (safety) is necessary.

 VII. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

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

VIII. Conclusion

    Based on its assessment of 1-octanol, 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 1-
octanol. Therefore, an amendment to the exemption of a tolerance is
established for residues of 1-octanol in or on root and tuber
vegetables.
    The Agency is issuing the exemption for residues on root and tuber
vegetables instead of limiting this exemption to post-harvest indoor
applications to root and tuber vegetables because these restrictions
are not relevant to the FFDCA safety finding for 1-octanol. Those
limitations are related to the use of the pesticide and regulated under
FIFRA.

IX. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance under FFDCA section 408(d) in response to a petition
submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order
12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993). Because this 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 FFDCA section 408(d), such as the exemption 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 FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this 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) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

X. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and

other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not
a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; Tips and Complaints Regarding Environmental
Violations (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), ``Tips and Complaints Regarding
Environmental Violations (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 2219.05, OMB Control
No. 2020-0032) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is
currently approved through April 30, 2016. Public comments were
previously requested via the Federal Register 80 FR 67400 on November
2, 2015 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR
is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public.
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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before March 18,
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2009-0494, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our
preferred method), by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to: EPA
Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460, and (2) OMB via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for
EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael LeDesma, Legal Counsel
Division, Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics, and Training;

Environmental Protection Agency, Building 25, Box 25227, Denver Federal
Center, Denver, CO 80025; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER> or fax number:
303-462-9075; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA)
is responsible for administrative, civil and criminal enforcement of
the environmental laws that EPA administers. EPA's criminal enforcement
and civil enforcement programs are dependent on tips and complaints
from concerned citizens and members of the regulated community. The
OECA Tips & Complaints Web page provides a convenient means by which
these individuals can voluntarily submit tips and complaints regarding
suspected violations of environmental law. Tips or complaints received
are used by civil and/or criminal enforcement personnel at EPA to
determine whether an investigation is warranted into the suspected or
alleged misconduct. In some cases, EPA may decide to refer tips or
complaints for investigation to other federal agencies or to State or
local authorities within whose jurisdiction the matter may
appropriately fall. The OECA Tips and Complaints Web page does not
replace or otherwise supplant other means of providing tips or
complaints to EPA; it merely provides a convenient means by which to
supply these tips or complaints. As with complaints provided by phone,
fax, or electronic mail, we expect that tippers or complainants are
already in the possession of information that leads them to suspect a
violation of environmental law when they contact EPA to report the
matter. Accordingly, EPA believes that the burden associated with the
reporting is merely that arising from the need to read the instructions
and type or select information into the appropriate fields.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Anyone wishing to file a tip or
complaint.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 10,286 (total).
    Frequency of response: Occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 5,143 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $102,242 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 542 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects that tips and complaints are
being filed at a higher rate, which is a strong indication of the
success of this program.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the person listed at the end of the pesticide petition
summary of interest.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
     2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date, and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have a typical or disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment of regulations in 40 CFR
part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various food
commodities. EPA has determined that the pesticide petitions described
in this notice contain the data or information prescribed in FFDCA
section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency
of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting
of the pesticide petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA
can make a final determination on these pesticide petitions.
    In accordance with 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the
petitions that are the subject of this notice, prepared by the
petitioner, is included in a docket EPA has created for each
rulemaking. The docket for each of the petitions is available on-line
at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)),
EPA is publishing a notice of the petitions so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on these requests for the establishment of
regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food commodities.
Further information on the petitions may be obtained through the
petition summaries referenced in this unit.

New Tolerance Exemptions

    1. PP 0F7681. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0078). Marrone Bio Innovations
Incorporated, 2121 Second Street, Suite B-107, Davis, CA 95618,
proposes to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance
for residues of the microbial pesticide, Streptomyces acidiscabies
strain RL-110\T\, in or on all agricultural commodities. The petitioner
believes no analytical method is needed because when used as proposed,
Streptomyces acidiscabies strain RL-110\T\ will not result in residues
that are of toxicological concern. Contact: Ann Sibold,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    2. PP 9E7635. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0055). Interregional Research

Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540 (on behalf of BioProdex Incorporated,
8520 NW 2 Place, Gainesville, FL 32607-1423), proposes to establish an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the
herbicide, Tobacco Mild Green Mosaic Tobamovirus, in or on all food
commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed
because Tobacco Mild Green Mosaic Tobamovirus occurs in fruiting
vegetables, cucurbits, tobacco, and many other crops and is, therefore,
indistinguishable from background levels normally present in the
environment. Furthermore, since an exemption from tolerance is being
requested, the petitioner has also emphasized that there is no need to
analyze for residues. Contact: Jeannine Kausch,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail
address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    3. PP 9F7587. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0092). Technology Sciences Group

requirement of a tolerance for residues of the mycoinsecticide,
Paecilomyces fumosoroseus strain FE 9901, in or on vegetable and herb
crops grown in greenhouses. The petitioner believes no analytical
method is needed because residues of Paecilomyces fumosoroseus strain
FE 9901 are not expected to occur as it degrades rapidly in sunlight
and in high temperatures, conditions commonly found in greenhouses.

Victor, NY 14564), proposes to establish an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of the fungicide, Trichoderma
virens strain G-41, in or on all food commodities. The petitioner
believes no analytical method is needed because, as proposed, the use
of Trichoderma virens strain G-41 would not result in residues that are
of toxicological concern. Contact: Jeannine Kausch,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-
mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    5. PP 9F7623. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0099). SciReg Incorporated, 12733
Director's Loop, Woodbridge, VA 22192 (on behalf of bio-Ferm GmbH,
Konrad Lorenz Strasse 20, A-3430, Tulln, Austria), proposes to
establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues
of the fungicides, Aureobasidium pullulans strains DSM 14940 and DSM
14941, in or on all food commodities. The petitioner believes no
analytical method is needed because they are submitting a petition to
establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. Contact:

Road, Suite 175, Columbia, MD 21046, proposes to establish an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the microbial
pesticide, Bacillus subtilis strain CX-9060, in or on all food
commodities including residues resulting from post-harvest uses. The
petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance is being sought. Contact: Denise
Greenway,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    7. PP 9F7665. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0087). Certis USA LLC, 9145 Guilford
Road, Suite 175, Columbia, MD 21046, proposes to establish an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the insecticide,
Paecilomyces fumosoroseus var. Apopka strain 97, in or on all food
commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed
because the pesticide occurs naturally and would be present
irrespective of treatment, and there are no residues of toxicological
concern. Contact: Shanaz Bacchus,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail address:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-114, OMB Control No. 3235-0102]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Tender
Offer--Regulation 14D and Regulation 14E, Schedule 14D-9

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Regulation 14D (17 CFR 240.14d-1--240.14d-11) and Regulation 14E
(17 CFR 240.14e-1--240.14e-8) and related Schedule 14D-9 (17 CFR
240.14d-101) require information important to security holders in
deciding how to respond to tender offers. Schedule 14D-9 takes
approximately 260.56 hours per response to prepare and is filed by
approximately 63 companies annually. We estimate that 25% of the 260.56
hours per response (65.14 hours) is prepared by the company for an
annual reporting burden of 4,104 hours (65.14 hours per response x 63
responses).
    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 control number.
    The public may not view background documentation for this
information collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find
this particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under
30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search
function. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice by January 10, 2024 to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information Officer,
Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: December 6, 2023.
