[EPA-R01-OAR-2010-0934; A-1-FRL-9235-2]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
New Hampshire; Determination of Attainment of the 1997 Ozone Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to determine that the Boston-Manchester-
Portsmouth (SE), New Hampshire moderate 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment
area continues to attain the 1997 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. This determination is based upon complete,
quality-assured, certified ambient air monitoring data that show the
area has monitored attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the
2007-2009 monitoring period. Preliminary data available through June
15, 2010 also are consistent with continued attainment. In addition, in
accordance with the Clean Air Act, EPA is proposing to determine that
this area has attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS as of June 15, 2010, its
applicable attainment date.

    II. What is the effect of these actions?
    III. What is the background for these actions?
    IV. What is EPA's analysis of the relevant air quality data?
    V. Proposed Actions
    VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What actions is EPA taking?

    EPA is proposing to determine that the Boston-Manchester-Portsmouth
(SE), New Hampshire moderate 8-hour ozone nonattainment area continues
to attain the 1997 8-hour NAAQS for ozone. This determination is based
upon complete, quality-assured and certified ambient air monitoring
data that show the area has monitored attainment of the 1997 ozone
NAAQS for the 2007-2009 monitoring period. Data available through June
15, 2010, in the EPA Air Quality System (AQS) are also consistent with
continued attainment. In addition, under section 181(b)(2)(A) of the
Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is proposing to determine that this area has
attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS by its applicable attainment date (June
15, 2010).

II. What is the effect of these actions?

    Under section 181(b)(2)(A) of the CAA and the provisions of EPA's
ozone implementation rule (see 40 CFR Section 51.902(a)), EPA is
proposing to determine that this area has attained the 1997 ozone NAAQS
by its applicable attainment date of June 15, 2010. The effect of a
final determination of attainment by the area's attainment date would
be to discharge EPA's obligation under section 181(b)(2)(A), and to
establish that, in accordance with that section, the area would not be
reclassified for failure to attain by its applicable attainment date.
This proposed action, if finalized, would not constitute a
redesignation to attainment under the Clean Air Act (CAA) section
107(d)(3), because we would not yet have an approved maintenance plan
for the area as required under section 175A of the CAA, nor a
determination that the area has met the other requirements for
redesignation. The classification and designation status of the area
would remain moderate nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS
until such time as EPA determines that the area meets the CAA
requirements for redesignation to attainment.
    The further effect of this proposed action is to reaffirm EPA's
prior determination of attainment for this area (See 73 FR 14387 (March
18, 2004)), and thus, pursuant to 40 CFR. 51.918, to continue the
suspension of New Hampshire's obligation to make certain SIP
submissions for this area.

III. What is the background for these actions?

    On April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23857), EPA designated as nonattainment
any area that was violating the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS based on the
three most recent years (2001-2003) of air quality data. The Boston-
Manchester-Portsmouth (SE), New Hampshire area was designated as a
moderate ozone nonattainment area. Subsequently, on March 18, 2008, EPA
published in the Federal Register a determination that the area was
attaining the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, based on complete, quality-
assured and certified data for 2004-2006. (See 73 FR 14387). That
action suspended the obligation for the area to submit an attainment
demonstration, a reasonable further progress plan, section 172(c)(9)
contingency measures, and any other planning State Implementation Plans
(SIPs) related to attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for so long
as the area continues to attain the 1997 ozone NAAQS. 40 CFR 51.918.
Complete, certified ozone air quality data for 2007 through 2009, as
well as complete, quality-assured, but not yet certified, ozone data
available in AQS, through June 15, 2010, show that the Boston-
Manchester-Portsmouth (SE), New Hampshire area continues to meet the
1997 8-hour ozone standard. Additional, preliminary ozone data
available through September 30, 2010, continues to show this area meets
the ozone NAAQS.

IV. What is EPA's analysis of the relevant air quality data?

    The EPA has reviewed the ambient air monitoring data for ozone,
consistent with the requirements contained in 40 CFR part 50 and
recorded in the Air Quality Data System (AQS) database, for Boston-
Manchester-Portsmouth (SE), New Hampshire area, from 2007 through 2009.
On the basis of its review, EPA proposes to conclude that the area
attained the 1997 8-hour ozone standard at the end of the 2009 ozone
season, based on 3 years of complete, quality-assured and State-
certified 2007-2009 ozone data. Preliminary data available in the EPA
Air Quality System, through June 15, 2010 are also consistent with
continued attainment.
    Under EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 50, the 1997 8-hour ozone
standard is attained at a site when the 3-year average of the annual
fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone concentrations at an
ozone monitor is less than or equal to 0.08 parts per million (ppm)
(i.e., 0.084 ppm, based on the rounding convention in 40 CFR part 50,
appendix I). This 3-year average is referred to as the design value.
When the design value is less than or equal to 0.084 ppm at each
monitoring site within the area, then the area is meeting the NAAQS.
Also, the data completeness requirement is met when the average percent
of days with valid ambient monitoring data is greater than 90%, and no
single year has less than 75% data completeness as determined in
Appendix I of 40 CFR part 50.
    Table 1 shows the fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone
concentrations for the Boston-Manchester-Portsmouth (SE), New Hampshire
nonattainment area monitors for the years 2007-2009, and the ozone
design values for these same monitors based on 2007-2009.

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

    EPA's review of these data indicates that the Boston-Manchester-
Portsmouth (SE), New Hampshire ozone nonattainment area has met the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, based on 2007-2009 data. EPA believes these
data, coupled with preliminary data available through June 15, 2010,
indicate that the Boston-Manchester-Portsmouth (SE), New Hampshire area
has also attained the standard as of its applicable attainment date of
June 15, 2010. Thus, in accordance with CAA section 181(b)(2), EPA is
also proposing to determine that the Boston-Manchester-Portsmouth (SE),
New Hampshire area has attained the standard by its applicable
attainment date.
    EPA is soliciting public comment on the issues discussed in this
notice or on other relevant matters pertaining to this rulemaking
action. These comments will be considered before EPA takes final
action. Interested parties may participate in the Federal rulemaking
procedure by submitting written comments to the EPA New England
Regional Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this Federal
Register.

V. Proposed Actions

    EPA is proposing to determine that the Boston-Manchester-Portsmouth
(SE), New Hampshire 1997 8-hour ozone moderate nonattainment area
continues to attain the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, based on complete,
quality-assured data from 2007 through 2009. Data for 2010 that are
available in AQS through June 30, 2010 are consistent with continued
attainment. As provided in 40 CFR Section 51.918, if EPA finalizes this
determination, the requirements for New Hampshire to submit planning
SIPs related to attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for this area
remain suspended, for so long as the area continues to attain the
standard. In addition, under section 181(b)(2)(A) of the Clean Air Act
and the provisions of EPA's ozone implementation rule (see 40 CFR
51.902(a)), EPA is proposing to determine that this area has attained
the 1997 ozone NAAQS by its applicable attainment date of June 15,
2010.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    These actions propose to make determinations of attainment based on
air quality, and would, if finalized, result in the continued
suspension of certain Federal requirements, and would not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. For that
reason, these proposed actions:
     Are not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Are certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Do not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Are not economically significant regulatory actions based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Are not significant regulatory actions subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Are not subject to the requirements of Section 12(d) of
the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) because application of those requirements would be
inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; and
     Do not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have Tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law.

definition established in our regulation for Registration of Food
Facilities. Determining whether the activities a food establishment
performs are within the ``farm'' definition plays a key role in
determining whether its business is exempt from our regulations for
Registration of Food Facilities, and from certain requirements in our
regulations for ``Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis,
and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food'' and ``Current Good
Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive
Controls for Food for Animals.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    We are announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Classification of Activities as Harvesting, Packing,
Holding, or Manufacturing/Processing for Farms and Facilities.'' We are
issuing the draft guidance consistent with our good guidance practices
regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will
represent the current thinking of the FDA on this topic. It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternate approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.
    Section 103(c) of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)
directed us to conduct rulemaking to clarify the on-farm activities
that would, in part, determine when an establishment is required to
register with us as a ``facility,'' or is not required to register with
us because the establishment is a ``farm.'' To do so, we conducted
rulemaking to revise and add farm-related definitions to our existing
regulation for Registration of Food Facilities in the same rulemaking
documents that we issued to establish our regulation entitled ``Current
Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive
Controls for Human Food'' in part 117 (21 CFR part 117). (See the final
rule at 80 FR 55908, September 17, 2015). For the purposes of the draft
guidance, we call that rulemaking ``the farm definition rulemaking.''
The farm definition rulemaking revised the ``farm'' definition to
provide for two types of farms: (1) Primary production farms and (2)
secondary activities farms. The farm definition rulemaking also revised
three definitions associated with the ``farm'' definition (i.e., the
definitions of ``packing,'' ``holding,'' and ``manufacturing/
processing'') and added more examples of activities in each of these
definitions. The farm definition rulemaking also established a new
definition associated with the ``farm'' definition (i.e., the
definition of ``harvesting'') and included examples of harvesting
activities in the definition. During the farm definition rulemaking,
several comments asked us to classify specific on-farm activities as
harvesting, packing, holding, or manufacturing/processing so that an
operation that conducts these activities on a farm can determine
whether conducting that specific activity is within, or outside, the
``farm'' definition. Some comments asked us to make a table of
activities prominently available on our Internet site for easy access
whenever the public seeks out information regarding regulations to
which these activities apply. (See 80 FR 55908 at 55920.) To address
these comments, we announced our intent to issue a draft guidance with
our current thinking on the classification of activities as
``harvesting,'' ``packing,'' ``holding,'' or ``manufacturing/
processing'' (80 FR 55908 at 55921). The draft guidance that we are
making available implements that stated intent.
    The draft guidance provides examples of activities classified as
``harvesting,'' ``packing,'' ``holding,'' or ``manufacturing/
processing,'' as well as activities classified in more than one way. We
note that the list of examples of activities classified as ``holding''
in the draft guidance does not include ``repacking and blast freezing .
. . when product is not exposed to the environment,'' despite our
statement in the farm definition rulemaking that such activities would
be considered practical necessities for distribution and therefore
``holding.'' See 80 FR 55908 at 55934 (Comment/Response 44). We made
similar statements in a related rulemaking to establish our regulation
entitled ``Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and
Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals'' in part 507 (21
CFR part 507) (80 FR 56170, September 17, 2015). See 80 FR 56170 at
56192 (Comment/Response 39). Our prior statements were incorrect and we
hereby withdraw them. Neither ``repacking'' nor ``blast freezing''
should be considered a ``holding'' activity. We have thought more about
what should be considered a ``practical necessity'' and are explaining
our thinking more in the draft guidance.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 1, subpart H have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0502. The collections of
information in part 117 have been approved under OMB control number
0910-0751. The collections of information in 21 CFR part 507 have been
approved under OMB control number 0910-0789. The collections of
information in 21 CFR part 112 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0816. The collections of information in 21 CFR part 121
have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0812.

                     Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)
                               Date: 15 May 2012

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?
 Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.
 Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.
What does it contain?
 Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.
 Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used on.
 Available pesticide usage information from U.S. states that produce 80% or more of a crop, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases, depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.
 Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural crop.
 Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).
What assumptions can I make about the reported data?
 Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 & <1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of 1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)
 Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, & rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.  If the estimated value is less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.
 Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.
What are the data sources used?
 USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service)  -  pesticide usage data from 2003 to 2010.
 Private pesticide market research  -  pesticide usage data from 2003 to 2010.
 California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data for 2003 to 2010.
What are the limitations to the data?
 Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).
 Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply zero usage.
 Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the SLUA.
 Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control, etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to receive these estimates.
 Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2019-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard

determinations as shown in the LOMRs for each community listed in the
table below. Notice of these modified flood hazard determinations has
been published in newspapers of local circulation and 90 days have
elapsed since that publication. The Deputy Associate Administrator for
Insurance and Mitigation has resolved any appeals resulting from this
notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.
