SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission proposes to revise two
existing systems of records, ``Freedom of Information and Privacy Act
Requests (SEC-24)'' and ``Backup Care Employee and Family Records (SEC-
66)''.
    The Freedom of Information and Privacy Act Requests (SEC-24) system
of records consists of records used by Commission staff to process FOIA
and Privacy Act requests and appeals, and to prepare reports to the
Department of Justice, the Office of Management and Budget, and other
oversight entities on the Commission's FOIA and PA activities. A
substantive change to SEC-24 has been incorporated to expand routine
use No. 15 to include the National Archives and Records Administration,
Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) second statutory
mission of reviewing administrative agency policies, procedures and
compliance with FOIA.
    The Backup Care Employee and Family Records (SEC-66) system of
records contains records of current SEC employees who voluntarily sign
up for backup care benefits and their family members for whom care is
needed. A substantive change to SEC-66 has been made to the Categories
of Records, deleting ``physician's medical form'' and ``medical
identification number'', and updating other types of records maintained
in the system.
    The Commission has submitted a report of the amended systems of
records to the appropriate Congressional Committees and to the Director
of the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') as required by 5
U.S.C. 552a(r) (Privacy Act of 1974) and guidelines issued by OMB on
December 12, 2000 (65 FR 77677).

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0970; Airspace Docket No. 09-ANM-15]
RIN 2120-AA66

Revision of Colored Federal Airway; Washington

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action revises Colored Federal Airway Amber 1 (A-1), by
adding a segment from the Abbotsford, BC, Non-directional Beacon (NDB)
to the Victoria, BC, NDB. Specifically, the FAA is taking this action
to enhance the management of air traffic during the 2010 Winter
Olympics at the request of the Canadian Government.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, December 17, 2009. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 to revise Colored Federal Airway A-1, by adding a segment to
the airway between Abbotsford, BC, and Victoria, BC, through United
States airspace delegated to Canada for air traffic control. The
Government of Canada requested the revision of A-1 to provide a low
altitude route segment between Abbotsford NDB and Victoria NDB to
support the 2010 Winter Olympics.
    Colored Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6009 of FAA
Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15,
2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Colored
Federal Airway listed in this document will be published subsequently
in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act. Therefore, notice and public procedures
under 5 U.S.C. 553(a) are unnecessary.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it revises a Federal Airway within the State of Washington.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Request for Scientific Views: Draft Human Health Recreational
Ambient Water Quality Criteria and/or Swimming Advisories for
Microcystins and Cylindrospermopsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the
release of the draft of Human Health Recreational Ambient Water Quality
Criteria and/or Swimming Advisories for Microcystins and
Cylindrospermopsin--2016 for a 60-day public comment. These are the
draft recommended concentrations of the toxins microcystins and
cylindrospermopsin in recreational water protective of human health
while swimming or participating in other activities on the water.
Recreational exposure to the microcystins and cylindrospermopsin
produced by cyanobacteria has the potential to result in liver and
kidney toxicity, respectively. The recommended values found in this
draft document do not replace or supersede the 2012 Recreational Water
Quality Criteria (RWQC) recommendations for E. coli and Enterococcus.
Rather, once final, they will supplement the 2012 RWQC to provide
further public health protection for additional, potentially hazardous
conditions found in ambient recreational waters.
    Following closure of this 60-day public comment period, EPA will
consider the comments, revise the draft document, as appropriate, and
then publish a final document that will provide recommendations for
States and authorized Tribes to establish water quality standards under
the Clean Water Act (CWA). Alternatively, States and authorized Tribes
may use these same values as the basis of swimming advisories for
public notification purposes.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 17, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-

OW-2016-0715, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. EPA
may publish any comment received to its public docket. Do not submit
electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted
by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be
accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered the
official comment and should include discussion of all points you wish
to make. EPA will generally not consider comments or comment contents
located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or
other file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

II. What are cyanotoxins microcystins and mylindrospermopsin and why is
EPA concerned about them?

    Cyanobacteria, also commonly referred to as blue-green algae, are
photosynthetic bacteria that grow in many diverse habitats. Sometimes
cyanobacteria can grow to high cell densities and form blooms, known as
harmful algal blooms (HABs). These situations can cause green and blue
scums to form in surface water. Microcystins and Cylindrospermopsin are
toxins that can be produced by a variety of cyanobacteria species and
can be released from cyanobacterial cells at any time. During a HAB
event, excessive growth of cyanobacteria in surface waters leads to
situations in which elevated levels of cyanotoxins are more likely,
however, exposure can occur even when there are no visible signs of a
bloom.
    Elevated levels of cyanotoxins affect not only the health of
humans, but domestic animals and wildlife in contact with contaminated
waters. At certain concentrations microcystins, and their associated
cyanobacteria, can cause headaches, sore throats, vomiting and nausea,
stomach pain, dry cough, diarrhea, blistering around the mouth, and
pneumonia through recreational exposure. Cylindrospermopsin
recreational exposure may cause fever, headache, vomiting, bloody
diarrhea, hepatomegaly, and kidney damage with loss of water,
electrolytes and protein.

III. Information on the Recreational Ambient Water Quality Criteria
(AWQC) for the Cyanotoxins Microcystins and Cylindrospermopsin

    EPA's draft recommended AWQC identify the concentration identify
the following concentrations of microcystins and cylindrospermopsin
that would be protective of human health given a primary contact
recreational exposure scenario: 4 [micro]g/L for microcystins and 8
[micro]g/L for cylindrospermopsin. The recommended draft values
supplement EPA's 2012 recreational AWQC to provide further public
health protection for additional, potentially hazardous conditions
found in ambient recreational waters.
    The draft recommended AWQC are based on the same peer-reviewed
science used to develop EPA's 10-Day Drinking Water Health Advisories
for these same cyanotoxins published in 2015. The draft criteria
document has gone through an internal work group review and includes
information on the state of the science describing the human health
effects from exposure to cyanobacteria and their toxins, discussion of
other domestic and international governmental and agency guidelines for
recreational waters, and information on incidents involving exposure of
domestic pets and other animals to cyanotoxins.

IV. What are section 304(a) water quality criteria?

    Section 304(a) water quality criteria are recommendations developed
by EPA under authority of section 304(a) of the Clean Water Act based
on the latest scientific information on the relationship that the
effect that a constituent concentration has on particular aquatic
species and/or human health.
    Section 304(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act directs the EPA to develop
and publish and, from time to time, revise criteria for water quality
accurately reflecting the latest scientific knowledge. Water quality
criteria developed under section 304(a) are based solely on data and
scientific judgments on the relationship between pollutant
concentrations and environmental and human health effects. Section
304(a) criteria do not reflect consideration of economic impacts or the
technological feasibility of meeting pollutant concentrations in
ambient water.
    Section 304(a) criteria provide guidance to States and authorized
Tribes in adopting water quality standards that ultimately provide a
basis for controlling discharges of pollutants. The criteria also
provide guidance that EPA considers when promulgating federal
regulations under section 303(c) when such action is necessary. Under
the CWA and its implementing regulations, States and authorized Tribes
are to adopt water quality criteria to protect designated uses (e.g.,
aquatic life, recreational use). EPA's water quality criteria
recommendations are not regulations. Thus, EPA's recommended criteria
do not constitute legally binding requirements. States and authorized
Tribes may adopt other scientifically defensible water quality criteria
that differ from these recommendations. When adopting new or revised
water quality standards, the States and authorized Tribes must adopt
criteria that are scientifically defensible and protective of the
designated uses of the bodies of water. States have the flexibility to
do this by adopting criteria based on (1) EPA's recommended criteria,
(2) EPA's criteria modified to reflect site-specific conditions, or (3)
other scientifically defensible methods.

V. Use of the Values as Swimming Advisories

    EPA is also publishing these values for consideration by States and
authorized Tribes for use as swimming advisories for notification
purposes in recreational waters to protect the public. States and
authorized Tribes could consider using the values as swimming
advisories in making decisions whether to close, open, warn about
concerns in recreational waters in a manner consistent or similar to
their current recreational water advisory programs. The values in this
304(a) recommended criteria, even if used as swimming advisories, are
not regulations, and thus, do not constitute legally binding
requirements.

VI. Solicitation of Scientific Views

    EPA is soliciting additional scientific views, data, and
information regarding the science and technical approach used in the
derivation of the draft Human Health Recreational Ambient Water Quality
Criteria and/or Swimming Advisories for Microcystins and
Cylindrospermopsin document. EPA is proposing that these recommended
criteria, if adopted by States or authorized Tribes as CWA section
303(c) WQS, be used for CWA section 303(d) assessment and listing
purposes where the magnitude is not exceeded for more than 10 percent
of days during a recreational season up to one calendar year as an
indicator of long-term impairment from multiple short-term blooms. EPA
is soliciting public comment on this 10 percent exceedance frequency as
well as alternative exceedance frequencies. For swimming advisories,
EPA is proposing that these recommended values could be used to trigger
public notification whenever values are exceeded for one day. EPA is
soliciting public comment on this recommended single day exceedance as
well as alternative exceedance frequencies.

S. Environmental Protection Agency _______________

STUDY TYPE: Food and Feed Residue Studies PMRA DATA CODE M7 TEST MATERIAL (PURITY): Sporodex L SYNONYMS: Pseudozyma flocculosa, Sporothrix flocculosa, STF REVIEWER'S COMMENTS AND CONCLUSION:

According to its proposed use pattern, Sporodex L will be applied by foliar spray to rose and cucumber plants.

An extensive literature search yielded no reports of mammalian toxins being produced by Pseudozyma flocculosa (see Part M2 review). The fungitoxic unsaturated C 17 fatty acids and acyclic norterpene produced by the MPCA have not been reported to be toxic to mammals. Neither this organism nor its close relatives are listed among microbial contaminants of food (Bakalinski 1992).

In an acute oral toxicity study (see review for Part M4.2.2), groups of fasted, 6  7 week old Fisher 344 rats (12/ sex) were given a single oral dose of Sporodex WP (an alternative end use formulation of Pseudozyma flocculosa) in USP sterile water for injection at doses of 5. 8 x 10 8 colony forming units (CFU) per animal for males and 5. 6 x 10 8 CFU per animal for females. The animals were then observed for a period of up to 21 days with interim scheduled sacrifices. No mortalities occurred. There were no clinical signs of toxicity and all of the animals gained weight during the study. No gross findings were observed at necropsy. Pseudozyma flocculosa was classified as being of LOW Toxicity based on the LD50 in female Fisher 344 rats.

Based on the results of the acute oral toxicity study and the absence of reports of mammalian toxin production, the establishment of a maximum residue limit is not required for Pseudozyma flocculosa under section4( d) of theFood and Drugs Act (adulteration of food) as defined under Division 15, Section B15. 002 of the Food and Drugs Regulations.
