AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary safety zone
for the Ocean City Beachfront Air Show, an aerial demonstration to be
held over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean adjacent to Ocean City, New
Jersey. This Safety Zone is necessary to provide for the safety of life
on navigable waters during the event. This proposed action would
temporarily restrict vessel traffic in portions of the Atlantic Ocean
adjacent to Ocean City, New Jersey during the aerial demonstration.

Background and Purpose

    On September 19-20, 2009, the Ocean City Business and Neighborhood
Development INC will sponsor the Ocean City Beachfront Air Show. The
event will consist of high performance jet aircraft performing low
altitude aerial maneuvers over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean
adjacent to Ocean City, New Jersey. A fleet of spectator vessels is
expected to gather nearby to view the aerial demonstration. Due to the
need for vessel control during the event, vessel traffic will be
temporarily restricted to provide for the safety of spectators and
transiting vessels.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary safety zone on
the North Atlantic Ocean, immediately adjacent to the shoreline at
Ocean City, New Jersey. Except for persons or vessels authorized by the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may enter or remain
in the regulated areas during the enforcement period. The Patrol
Commander will notify the public of specific enforcement times by
Marine Radio Safety Broadcast. This regulation will be enforced to
prevent personal injury to mariners and damage to vessel traffic during
the event.
    The temporary safety zone includes all waters offshore from Ocean
City, New Jersey, bounded within the following area: Beginning at
latitude 39[deg]16[min]28[sec] N, longitude 074[deg]33[min]38[sec] W,
thence southeasterly to latitude 39[deg]16[min]20[sec] N, longitude
074[deg]33[min]30[sec] W, thence southwesterly to latitude
39[deg]15[min]38[sec] N, longitude 074[deg]34[min]41[sec] W, thence
northwesterly to latitude 39[deg]15[min]47[sec] N, longitude
074[deg]34[min]51[sec] W, thence returning northeasterly to latitude
39[deg]16[min]28[sec] N, longitude 074[deg]33[min]38[sec] W. All
coordinates listed for the following safety zones reference Datum NAD
1983.
    This temporary safety zone will be enforced from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
on September 19, 2009, and from 12 p.m. (noon) to 4 p.m. on September
20, 2009.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    We expect the economic impact of this proposed rule to be so
minimal that a full Regulatory Assessment is unnecessary. Although this
regulation restricts vessel traffic from transiting a small segment of
coastal waters near Ocean City, New Jersey, the effect of this
regulation will not be significant due to the limited duration that the
regulated area will be in effect and the advance notifications that
will be made to the maritime community via marine information
broadcasts and area newspapers so mariners can adjust their plans
accordingly.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed
rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This rule will affect the following entities,
some of which may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
intending to transit coastal waters in the vicinity of Ocean City, New
Jersey during the event.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. This
rule will be in effect for only a short period, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
on September 19, 2009 and from 12 a.m. (noon) to 4 p.m. on September
20, 2009. Traffic will be allowed to pass through the zone with the
permission of the Coast Guard patrol commander. Before the enforcement
period, we will issue maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their
plans accordingly.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact Lieutenant Rebecca Walthour,
Chief of Waterways Management Branch, Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay,
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The Coast Guard
will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain
about this proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

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

Federalism

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

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In

particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the
expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate,
or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Though this proposed rule would not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

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

Civil Justice Reform

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

Protection of Children

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

Indian Tribal Governments

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

Energy Effects

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

Technical Standards

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

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed
rule involves creating a temporary safety zone on the waters of the
Atlantic Ocean offshore from Ocean City, New Jersey, which will
restrict vessel movement due to a scheduled air show. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8497]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying
the current participation status of a community can be obtained from
FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-community-status-book.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact Patricia Suber, Federal Insurance and
Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 400 C
Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue to be eligible for the sale of
NFIP flood insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of such
communities will be published in the Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were made, this final rule may take effect within less
than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. FEMA has determined that the
community suspension(s) included in this rule is a non-discretionary
action and therefore the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) does not apply.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

call the appropriate advisory committee hot line/phone line to learn
about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.

    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee link.

information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting,
Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous Metals-Zinc, Cadmium,
and Beryllium (40 CFR part 63, subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG)
were proposed on October 6, 2006, and promulgated on January 23, 2007.
These regulations apply to both new and existing primary copper
smelting facilities (subpart EEEEEE), new secondary copper smelting
facilities (subpart FFFFFF), and both new and existing primary zinc or
beryllium production facilities (subpart GGGGGG) that are an area
source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities
include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the
date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Primary copper smelting facilities,
secondary copper smelting facilities, and primary zinc or beryllium
production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63).
    Estimated number of respondents: Five (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannual.
    Total estimated burden: 74 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,380 (per year), which includes $0 for
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the burden in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations.
First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and
are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the
growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so
there is no significant

change in the overall burden. There is an adjustment increase in the
labor costs in this ICR compared to the previous ICR.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

[PP 8F7501]

	EPA has received a pesticide petition ([PP8F7501]) from E. I. DuPont de
Nemours and Company, DuPont Crop Protection, Wilmington, Delaware,
proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 to
establish tolerances for residues of nicosulfuron,
[3-pyridinecarboxamide,
2-((((4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl)aminosulfonyl))-N,N-dime
thyl] in or on grass forage at 9.0 parts per million (ppm), grass hay at
25.0 ppm, fat (of cattle, goat, hog, horse and sheep) at 0.05 ppm, meat
(of cattle, goat, hog, horse and sheep) at 0.05 ppm,  meat byproducts
(of cattle, goat, hog, horse and sheep) at 0.05 ppm, milk at 0.05 ppm
and milk, fat at 0.02 ppm.  EPA has determined that the petition
contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in section
408(d)(2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the
sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data
supports granting of the petition.  Additional data may be needed before
EPA rules on the petition.

A. Residue Chemistry

1. Plant and animal metabolism. With the initial establishment of
nicosulfuron tolerances in field corn and subsequent establishment of
tolerances on sweet corn, the EPA determined that the nature of plant
residues was adequately understood for the purposes establishing those
tolerances. A metabolism study in canola has also been conducted.  Based
on these studies, the Agency previously concluded that only nicosulfuron
needs to be regulated and assessed for dietary assessment. Further, the
nature of the residue in corn and canola is adequately understood. The
nature of the residue in animals is adequately understood based on an
acceptable ruminant study. The pathways of nicosulfuron metabolism in
ruminants is consistent with those demonstrated in plants.

2. Analytical method.  Adequate analytical methodology, high-pressure
liquid chromatography with ESI-MS/MS detection, is available for
enforcement purposes. The two methods are “Analytical Method for the
Determination of Nicosulfuron (DPX-V9360) And Its Metabolite IN-V9367 In
Pasture Grass By HPLC/ESI-MS/MS”, DuPont Report 17928 and
“Analytical Method for the Determination of Nicosulfuron (DPX-V9360)
And Its Metabolite IN-V9367 In Animal Tissues By HPLC/ESI-MS/MS”,
DuPont Report 17927. The limit of quantitation for nicosulfuron with
these methods, in raw agricultural commodities and in processed
fractions, is 0.01 ppm. EPA offers enforcement methodology to anyone
interested in pesticide enforcement when requested by mail from: Public
Response and Program Resources Branch, Field Operations Division
(7506C), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency,
401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. Office location CM#2, 1801 South
Bell Street, Arlington, VA 22202.

3, Magnitude of residues

i. Plant residues.

Grass crop group 17 - Residue trials were conducted on bermudagrass,
brome grass and fescue at 12 locations distributed across the U.S.  The
nature of nicosulfuron residue in grass is adequately understood through
the corn and canola metabolism studies.    These residue data were the
basis for establishing tolerances for grass forage and grass hay.

ii. Animal residues. EPA determined, upon granting field corn
tolerances, that there was no reasonable expectation of residues
occurring in meat, milk, poultry, or eggs from these tolerances. Of the
commodities for which tolerances are being proposed, grass hay and grass
forage are possible animal feed items. Therefore, a cattle feeding study
was conducted to establish tolerances on meat, meat by-products and
milk.

B. Toxicological Profile

1. Acute toxicity. Technical nicosulfuron has been placed in acute
toxicology category III based on overall results from several studies.
This compound was placed in toxicology category III for acute dermal
toxicity (LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg; rabbits) and eye irritation (effects
reversible within 72 hours; rabbits). Acute oral toxicity (LD50 > 5,000
mg/kg; rats), acute inhalation toxicity (LC50 > 5.4 mg/L, rats) and skin
irritation (no observed irritation; rabbits) results were assigned
toxicology category IV. Technical nicosulfuron is not a dermal
sensitizer.

2. Genotoxicty.  Technical nicosulfuron was negative for genotoxicity in
a battery of in vitro and in vivo tests.  These tests included the
following: Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay, Unscheduled DNA Synthesis
In Primary Rat Hepatocytes, In Vitro Cho Mammalian Cells Gene Mutation
Assay, Mammalian Cells In Culture Cytogenic Assay In Human Lymphocytes,
In Vivo Micronucleus Assay – Mouse

3. Reproductive and developmental toxicity.

i. Rat developmental study.  A developmental study was conducted in rats
administered technical nicosulfuron by oral gavage at dose levels of 0,
186, 930, 2325 or 5581 mg/kg/day. No treatment-related effects were
noted on maternal or developmental toxicity up to and including the
highest dose tested of 5581 mg/kg (the limit of the suspension
capability). The LOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity could not
be determined and the NOAEL is at least 5581 mg/kg/day for both maternal
and developmental toxicity.

ii. Rabbit developmental study.  In developmental study was conducted in
rabbits administered technical nicosulfuron by oral gavage at dose
levels of 0, 93, 465, 930 or 1860 mg/kg/day.  The LOAEL for maternal
toxicity is 465 mg/kg/day and the NOAEL is 93 mg/kg/day. The LOAEL for
developmental toxicity is 465 mg/kg/day (based on an apparent increase
in percent post implantation loss) and the NOAEL is 93 mg/kg/day. There
were no external on visceral anomalies in the fetuses. Fetal toxicity
was manifested by reduced mean fetal body weight at 930 mg/kg/day and
above. Therefore, the LOAEL for fetal toxicity is 930 mg/kg/day and the
NOAEL is 465 mg/kg/day.

iii. Two-generation rat reproduction study.  A two generation
reproduction study was conducted in rats administered continuously with
technical nicosulfuron in the diet at 0,250, 5000 or 20000 ppm.   There
were no treatment related effects observed in the parental animals
except for lower body weight gain (p<0.05) in the F1 (first mating)
females at the high dose during the last (third) week of gestation. A
lower body weight gain was also seen, but not statistically significant
in the F0 females during the last week of gestation. Therefore, the
LOAEL for parental systemic toxicity is 20,000 ppm (1265 mg/kg/day) and
the NOAEL is 5000 ppm (287 mg/kg/day).  Reproductive parameters were
unaffected in the low- and mid-dose groups. There was a statistically
significant (p<0.05) decrease in litter size at birth (reproductive
effects) and in pup (offspring effects) weights at postpartum day 14
through 21 in the F2a high dose group. The other litters showed a
similar tendency, but not a statistically significant difference.
Therefore, the NOAEL for both reproductive and offspring toxicity is
5000 ppm (287 mg/kg/day) and the LOAEL is 20,000 ppm (1265 mg/kg/day).

4.  Subchronic toxicity.

i. 90-Day rat feeding study. A 90 day study in rats was conducted at
dose levels of 0, 300, 1500, 7500 or 20,000 ppm.  No treatment-related
signs of toxicity or mortality were attributed to the test material. No
compound effects on organ weights, gross and microscopic pathology were
seen. A LOAEL for subchronic toxicity of this test material is >20,000
ppm (1495/1830 mg/kg/day for males/females) and a NOAEL is 20,000 ppm
(1495/1830 mg/kg/day for males/females).

ii. 90-Day mouse study.  A 90 day study in mice was conducted at dose
levels of 0, 300, 1500, 7500 or 10000 ppm. No treatment-related signs of
toxicity or mortality were attributed to the test material. The LOAEL
derived from this study is 1500 ppm (234.0 / 323.0 mg/kg/day for males/
females) based on decreased hematological parameters, particularly the
circulating neutrophils, and the NOAEL is 300 ppm (43.9/ 62.0 mg/kg/day
for males/ females).

iii. 90-Day dog study Technical nicosulfuron was administered to dogs at
dose levels of 0, 250, 5000, or 20000 ppm. Based on hematological
findings (reduction of neutrophils in females), the LOAEL is 20000 ppm
(710/ 683 mg/kg/day in males/females) and the NOAEL is 5000 ppm (172/
171 mg/kg/day in males/females).

5. Chronic toxicity and oncogenicity

i. 18-Month mouse oncogenicity study.  An 18-month carcinogenicity study
with mice fed dosages of 0, 3.3/4.4, 32.7/44.8, 327/438, and 993/1,312
mg/kg/day (males/females) demonstrated that no carcinogenic effects up
to the highest dose tested. The systemic NOAEL is 993/1,312
(males/females) mg/kg/ day.

ii. 1-Year chronic dog study. A 1-year feeding study with dogs fed
dosages of 0, 6.25, 125, and 500 mg/kg/day resulted in a systemic NOAEL
of 125 mg/kg/day in males based upon a decrease in body weight gains and
a concomitant increase in relative liver and kidney weights in males.
The NOAEL for females was 500 mg/kg/day, the highest dose tested.

iii. Two-year combined rat chronic toxicity/oncogenicity study. In a
two-year combined chronic toxicity/oncogenicity study in rats, technical
nicosulfuron was administered in the diet at concentrations of 0, 50,
1500, 7500 or 20000 ppm.  Based on the lack of chronic toxic effects the
NOAEL is the highest dose tested: 20,000 ppm (786 mg/kg/day in males and
1098 mg/kg/day in females).

6. Rat metabolism. In the rat, nicosulfuron is rapidly and moderately
absorbed and is rapidly eliminated via urinary and fecal excretion.
Following oral administration of the low dose (10 mg/kg bw), elimination
in the feces accounted for 80 to 87% of the dose, and elimination in the
urine accounted for 13 to 20%. At the high dose (1000 mg/kg bw) fecal
and urinary excretion ranged from 89 – 95% and 5 – 11%,
respectively.  Elimination of 14C-CO2 was negligible. The average
cumulative excretion half-lives were between 12 and 24 hours. Following
intravenous administration, approximately 76 to 80% of the dose was
eliminated in the urine and 27 to 30% in the feces. Residues in tissues
accounted for 0.05 to 0.5% of the dose. The major excretion product in
urine and feces was unchanged parent compound. In addition, pyridine
sulfonamide (N, N-dimethyl-2-sulfonamide pyridine-3-carboxamide or
IN-V9367) was detected in the urine and accounted for 1.1 to 5.7% of the
dose. Pyridine acid sulfonamide (2-sulfonamidepyridine-3- carboxylic
acid, or IN-64859) was tentatively identified as a minor metabolite in
the feces of orally dosed rats and urine of intravenously dosed rats.
These metabolites represent hydrolytic cleavage/oxidation of the parent
molecule.

7. Metabolite toxicology.  Common metabolic pathways for nicosulfuron
were demonstrated in the rat, goat and in corn.  The major nicosulfuron
metabolites in corn and the goat were the same as those in the rat.  A
minor metabolite in the goat and two in corn differed from those
observed in the rat.  These minor metabolites were only detectable
following exaggerated doses to corn plants and in feed provided to
goats.  Neither of these minor metabolites were detectable in human
dietary components; therefore, exposures to and accumulation of these
minor metabolites are unlikely.  The EPA has previously determined that
the residue to be regulated is nicosulfuron only.

8. Endocrine disruption.  In the available toxicity studies on
nicosulfuron, there was no estrogen, androgen, and/or thyroid mediated
toxicity.

C. Aggregate Exposure

1. Dietary exposure –

 i. Food.  Because an endpoint attributable to a single dose was not
identified, the dietary exposure assessment considered only chronic
exposure.

Chronic dietary exposure assessment. Chronic dietary exposure resulting
from the currently approved uses and proposed uses of nicosulfuron is
well within acceptable limits for all sectors of the population. The
chronic module of the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model with Food
Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCIDTM, version 2.14, Exponent, Inc.)
was used to conduct the assessment with the chronic reference dose
(cRfD) of 1.25 mg/kg/ day. This model incorporates nationwide food
consumption data as reported by respondents in the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) 1994-1996, 1998 Continuing Surveys of Food Intake by
Individuals (CSFII).  The analysis used tolerance values in place of
residue values for relevant crops and meat and milk and assumed 100%
crop treated for all commodities included.  The chronic dietary exposure
of the US population to nicosulfuron is 0.000363 mg/kg/day, and utilizes
<1% of the cRfD for the overall U.S. population. No population subgroup
had an exposure that utilized more than 1% of the cRfD.  There are large
margins of safety for each population subgroup and very low probability
of effects resulting from chronic exposure to nicosulfuron.

ii. Drinking water. Based on the FIRST Tier 1 surface water and SCI GROW
Tier 1 groundwater models under worst-case conditions the chronic
estimated environmental concentrations (EECs) of nicosulfuron are 1.811
parts per billion (ppb) for surface water and 0.078 ppb for ground
water.

When the higher surface water concentration was included in the chronic
dietary risk assessment, the predicted exposure for the general
population was 0.000401 mg/kg/day, <1% of the cRfD.  No population
subgroup had an exposure that utilized more than 1% of the cRfD.  Thus,
the chronic dietary exposure of nicosulfuron, including the contribution
of drinking water, clearly meets the standard of reasonable certainty of
no harm.

2. Non-dietary exposure. No nicosulfuron product registrations for
residential non food uses have been approved. Therefore, there should be
no non-occupational, non-dietary exposure.

D. Cumulative Effects

Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a cumulative risk
approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, EPA has not made a
common mechanism of toxicity finding as to Nicosulfuron and any other
substances and Nicosulfuron does not appear to produce a toxic
metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has not assumed that Nicosulfuron has a
common mechanism of toxicity with other substances

E. Safety Determination

1. U.S. population. Based on the completeness and reliability of the
toxicity data and the conservative exposure assessments, there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from the aggregate
exposure of residues of nicosulfuron including all anticipated dietary
exposure and all other non occupational exposures.

2. Infants and children. Based on the completeness and reliability of
the toxicity data, the lack of toxicological endpoints of special
concern, the lack of any indication that children are more sensitive
than adults to nicosulfuron, and the conservative exposure assessment,
there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and
children from the aggregate exposure of residues of nicosulfuron,
including all anticipated dietary exposure and all other
non-occupational exposures. Accordingly, there is no need to apply an
additional safety factor for infants and children.

F. International Tolerances

There is neither a Codex proposal, nor a Canadian or Mexican tolerance
for grass and grass commodities.
