July 30, 2004 Page 1 of 20 SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR AN INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST ( ICR)

1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION 1( a) Title of the Information Collection: Application and Summary Report for an Emergency Exemption for Pesticides OMB NO.: 2070 0032 EPA NO.: 0596.09 1( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract This Information Collection Request ( ICR) is a renewal of an existing ICR that is currently approved by OMB and is due to expire November 30, 2004. Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act ( FIFRA) authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) to grant emergency exemptions to states and Federal agencies to allow an unregistered use of a pesticide for a limited time if EPA determines that emergency conditions exist. This data collection program is designed to provide EPA with necessary data to evaluate an application for a permit for the temporary use of a pesticide product for an unregistered use to mitigate an emergency situation. The information is used by EPA to evaluate whether an emergency condition exists, whether use of the pesticide under the exemption will be protective of human health and the environment, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the requested product in allaying the emergency.

Most requests for emergency exemptions are made by state lead agricultural agencies, although agencies such as the United States Departments of Agriculture ( USDA), Defense ( DOD) and Interior ( USDI) also request exemptions. This process is generally initiated when growers in particular regions identify an urgent, non routine situation which registered pesticides will not alleviate. The growers contact their state lead agency ( usually the state department of agriculture) and request that the agency apply to EPA for a Section 18 emergency exemption for a particular use. Requests are most often made for pesticides that have other food uses registered. The state agency evaluates the requests and submits requests to EPA for emergency exemptions they believe are warranted. The uses are requested for a limited period of time to address the emergency situation only.

Requests for Section 18 emergency exemptions, i. e., the submission of applications, are at the discretion of a state, U. S. territory, or federal agency. Should one of these entities apply for an emergency exemption, EPA requests the information and data identified under Section 3 of this supporting statement. If the emergency appears valid and the risks are acceptable, EPA typically July 30, 2004 Page 2 of 20 approves the emergency exemption request. EPA will deny an exemption request if the pesticide use may cause unreasonable adverse effects to human health or the environment, or if emergency criteria are not met. As a matter of course, a state may withdraw an exemption request at any point in the process. If a need is immediate, allowing insufficient time for the application and review process, a state agency may issue a crisis exemption which allows the unregistered use for 15 days. The state notifies EPA of this action prior to issuing the crisis, and EPA performs a cursory review of the use to ensure there are no concerns. If any concerns are noted, EPA confers with the state and under extreme cases may not allow a crisis to be declared. If the state follows up the crisis with, or has already submitted, an emergency exemption request, the use may continue under the crisis until EPA has made a decision on the request. EPA must establish the appropriate time limited tolerance( s) required by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act ( FFDCA) for any pesticide uses under emergency exemptions, including crisis exemptions.

There are no forms associated with either the application for, or summary reports on, an emergency exemption.

Over the past three years ( 2001, 2002, 2003), EPA has received an average of approximately 500 section 18 requests. In general, emergency exemption applications are submitted so that an unregistered pesticide may be used to control problematic and unexpected insects, weeds or plant diseases for commercial agriculture. Producers of minor crops are especially reliant on the emergency exemption program. Less frequently, emergency exemption applications are submitted in order to combat pests which pose a threat to public health. The section 18 emergency exemption program is also supporting certain public health and agricultural homeland security initiatives.

In 2003, EPA initiated a limited pilot program whereby states and the Agency are jointly evaluating two process improvements relative to: ( 1) repeat section 18 requests and ( 2) the methodology for substantiating economically significant pest losses. This pilot program is still underway and tracks an ongoing rule making initiative in this area.

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION 2( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection EPA is the principal federal agency charged with the regulation of pesticides. This regulation is conducted under FIFRA, which requires all uses of pesticide products to be registered with EPA prior to marketing. Due to unpredictable circumstances such as climatic conditions, development of resistance, or importation of pests, situations arise that call for the immediate need for a pesticide for a use for which it is not registered, and for which there is insufficient time to obtain registration. July 30, 2004 Page 3 of 20 The FFDCA requires that EPA establish tolerances, or maximum legal limits for all pesticide residues in food, including those resulting from Section 18 emergency uses. Tolerances established for emergency exemptions are time limited to correspond to the use season or multiple use seasons. In establishing tolerances, EPA must make the finding that there is " reasonable certainty that no harm" will result to human health from aggregate and cumulative exposure to the pesticide, as required by the health based standard. Establishment of these tolerances, with their expiration dates, is published in the Federal Register.

Section 18 of FIFRA states in part that, " The Administrator may, at [ his/ her] discretion, exempt any federal or state agency from any provision of this Act if [ s] he determines that emergency conditions exist that require such exemption" ( see attachment A). Under this provision, EPA may temporarily authorize federal or state agencies to allow use of pesticide products under emergency conditions. Detailed regulations regarding the procedures for emergency exemptions are contained in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR) Part 166 ( see attachment B). Attachment E provides a specific section by section listing of each of the requirements under 40 CFR 166 that are related to this ICR.

2( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data EPA uses the information collected to carry out its statutory responsibilities under FIFRA. The Agency uses the submitted information to appraise the validity of the emergency situation and proposed measures to combat the pest( s). The summary report is essential to weighing the emergency nature of the situation as well as the effectiveness and risks of the treatment program.

3. NON DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA 3( a) Non duplication.

This information collection activity is unique and is administered by EPA pursuant to FIFRA. The possibility of duplication does not exist.

3( b) Public Notice and Opportunity to Comment In preparing to renew this ICR, EPA will publish a notice in the Federal Register which will provide a 60 day public notice and comment period. The Agency will consider any comments received in response to that notice before submitting the ICR to OMB.

3( c) Consultations.

Consultation and/ or dialogue between states and the Agency during the submission and review of an application are frequent and ongoing. Questions or consultations pertaining to a July 30, 2004 Page 4 of 20 particular submission are addressed in meetings or telephone conversations with the applicant and do not necessarily occur at specified intervals. In addition to communications regarding specific exemption requests, Agency staff frequently participate in stakeholder meetings with state and federal pesticide regulatory officials and the grower community. These communications permit an exchange of problems and questions on the program in general and other relevant issues. For example, OPP staff members participate extensively in meetings with the State FIFRA Research and Evaluation Group ( SFIREG), which meets several times a year.

In addition, during preparation of this ICR renewal, EPA staff will contact representatives from a cross section of respondents by e mail and telephone to seek feedback on the burden estimates in the ICR, the clarity of instructions provided, the feasibility of reporting the data by electronic means, and other questions pertaining to the requirements of the program.

3( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

As discussed above, there is no collection schedule for this information collection activity, per se. State and federal agencies initiate the information collection activity when they prepare an emergency exemption application for submission to EPA. Consequently, there is no way EPA can reduce the frequency of the collection and maintain its responsibilities under FIFRA section 18.

3( e) General Guidelines.

EPA requires the states to maintain records of the first food use of a pesticide under an emergency exemption for two years following the date of expiration. Generally, an applicant for an emergency exemption is not required to maintain data beyond the date that the summary report has been received by the Agency. Therefore, the OMB guidelines codified in 5 CFR 1320.6 indicate that data, other than health, medical, or tax records, need not be retained for more than three years and will not be exceeded in this program.

3( f) Confidentiality Although the EPA urges the submitter to minimize the amount of claimed Confidential Business Information ( CBI), all data and/ or information brought to the Agency in conjunction with this rule may be claimed as trade secret, or commercial or financial information and will be protected from disclosure by the EPA under FIFRA section 10 and the associated regulation as contained in 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. In general, EPA works to make information relative to section 18 decisions and supporting data easily available to the public ( e. g. web site postings of program information). Growers and industry stakeholders need to be made aware of section 18 exemptions. Thus, as a rule, claims of confidentiality are not made on emergency exemption applications. July 30, 2004 Page 5 of 20 Data submitted to the Agency are handled in accordance with the provisions of the FIFRA Confidential Business Information ( CBI) Security Manual which provides procedures for protecting information claimed as confidential in accordance with FIFRA section 10. If the information is not protected under FIFRA section 10, and it is not otherwise protected from release under the Freedom of Information Act, EPA is obligated to make it available to members of the public upon request.

3( g) Sensitive Questions No information of a sensitive or private nature is requested in conjunction with this collection activity. Further, this information collection activity complies with the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB circular A 108.

4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED 4( a) Respondents/ NAICS Codes Respondents affected by the collection activities under this ICR are federal and state agencies which regulate pesticides or pesticide products. The North American Industrial Classification System ( NAICS) code assigned to the states and federal government agencies responding to this information is 9641, regulation of agricultural marketing and commodities.

5. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED  AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 5( a) Agency Activities On October 25, 2000, EPA published a Final Rule in the Federal Register ( 65 FR 64125) entitled " Time Limited Tolerances for Pesticide Emergency Exemptions" ( see attachment D) This rule, which became effective on November 24, 2000, set into place a process to ensure timely decisions on any tolerance related issue in response to a request for an emergency exemption for a pesticide to be used on food or feed. Under this rule, time limited tolerance petitions related to FIFRA Section 18 are evaluated on a case by case basis to determine if adequate reliable data are available to make the required safety finding mandated under FFDCA Section 408 ( see attachment C) and FQPA.

Applications for emergency exemptions are submitted by U. S. states and territories, and federal agencies at their discretion. These applications are received by the Office of Pesticide Programs ( OPP), Registration Division, Minor Use, Inerts, and Emergency Response Branch, where they are reviewed for completeness. The application package is routed to scientists and economists within OPP to determine whether the proposed emergency exemption is warranted, that there is " reasonable certainty of no harm" to human health resulting from aggregate and cumulative exposure, and that it presents no undue hazard to humans or the environment. Once the determinations are made, the applicant is notified in writing . The tolerance is published in the Federal Register. EPA has established a 50 day response turnaround as a self imposed guideline for review of emergency exemption requests, providing the application package is July 30, 2004 Page 12 of 20 complete. The Agency's average response turnaround time for complete applications has been less than 50 days for the past three years.

The Agency conducts the following activities when responding to an emergency exemption application under FIFRA section 18:

Route the application/ report to appropriate scientists and economists for review.

Review information submitted for scientific accuracy.

Perform a biological, ecological, and economic analysis and a multi disciplinary risk assessment of the requested use, then forward a regulatory recommendation on the proposed exemption along with a draft notification to EPA management.

Make the FQPA finding of " reasonable certainty of no harm" to human health resulting from aggregate and cumulative exposure. Establish a time limited tolerance if required.

Conduct an assessment of the progress toward registration for the requested use.

OPP Director ( or designee) makes final decision.

Notify applicant of decision.

Prepare and publish Federal Register Notice ( for applicable food use requests).

Record electronic data in Agency's data system and file hard copy in Branch files.

5( b) Collection Methodology and Management When applications for emergency exemptions are received by EPA, they are jacketed and filed by the name of the state, territory or federal agency, by the date, and by the number of the submission for that entity. The application is tracked in EPA's data system as an active pending request through the determination process, and subsequent receipt of the summary report, after which the exemption becomes a historical file and the regulatory action is closed.

5( c) Small Entity Flexibility No flexibility for small entities exists under this information collection activity. Section 18 of FIFRA applies directly only to State, territorial, and federal government agencies; it does not apply to other entities. States are not " small entities" as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

5( d) Collection Schedule There is no collection schedule associated with this information collection activity, per se. This information collection activity is initiated by the States or by certain federal agencies when they determine that they are confronted with an emergency situation and subsequently submit an emergency exemption application to EPA under FIFRA Section 18. July 30, 2004 Page 13 of 20 6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION 6( a) Estimating Respondent Burden The total annual response burden associated with submitting an application for Emergency Exemption ( Section 18s) is estimated to be 49,500 hours per year or 148,500 hours over the next three years based upon the average number of Emergency Exemption requests received over the last three years. The number of applications received by EPA has decreased from an average of 600 per year for the years 1998  2000 to an average of about 500 per year for the years ranging from 2001  2003. The important trends seen in the applications received in the past three years are:

 the successful transition of a high number of minor crop section 18 programs to full registrations and tolerances under section 3 labels;

 in spite of the focus on eliminating long running section 18 applications there are continuing pest management challenges that are national in scope that trigger emergency exemption requests ( e. g. the use of coumaphos and thymol in bee hives to control varroa mite;

 expanding reliance on section 18 programs to plan for and respond to public health and agricultural homeland security threats  such as anthrax decontamination, foot and mouth disease, and soybean rust;

 States have started requesting Section 18 emergency exemptions for more than one chemical to deal with some pest problems;

The Agency expects that some of these factors will persist and subsequently expects to receive an average of 500 to 550 applications annually for the next three years.

6( b) Estimating Respondent Costs The total cost for all respondents associated with submitting an application for Emergency Exemption is estimated to be $ 2,683,000 annually or $ 8,049,000 over the next three years. The hourly wage rates used for this renewal ICR were updated and increased from the estimated rates of $ 60, $ 50, $ 39 for management, technical, and clerical labor resources ( respectively) in the ICR previously approved by OMB in 2000 to $ 65, $ 54, and $ 42 for the respective classes of labor resources. The wage rates for the petitioner/ state worker were adjusted for present year using the figures from the previous ICR and a multiplier factor suggested by wage increases for state government workers from data developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The wage rates are " fully loaded." This includes the nominal wage, benefits, and overhead. The Applicant hourly rates of the previous ICR were based on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' 1989 Wage Rates of State Government Workers, adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index.

The first is the number of hours and costs incurred by the Agency to complete a standard application. The second component is the costs for other elements that do not fall under the category of collection activities, but are required as part of the program.

The total Agency burden in terms of hours is estimated to be 54,000 hours annually. The total annual Agency cost for processing Emergency Exemption Requests is estimated to be $ 3,705,500. The labor rates used to calculate Agency burden for this ICR are based on the previous ICR and have been adjusted to 2003 using the general annual salary percent increases from the Office of Personnel Management salary tables for federal employees. These rates are rounded to the nearest dollar and include benefits and overhead costs.

The overall respondent burden has decreased due to the drop in the overall number of section 18 emergency exemption applications annually from 600 for the period 1998  2000 to approximately 500 for the period 2001  2003. This trend is attributable to the Agency's focus and priority on making registration decisions for repeated section 18 uses quickly. For instance in 2003 registration decisions for 120 uses negated the need for applicants to submit repeat section 18 requests. In 2002, 56 repeat section 18 uses were negated by registration decisions. The amendments to FIFRA under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act are likely to reinforce this trend.

6( f) Burden Statement The annual respondent burden for collection of information associated with the rule is estimated to average 99 hours per application. According to the Paperwork Reduction Act, " burden" means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. For this collection, it is the time reading the regulations, planning the necessary data collection activities, conducting tests, analyzing data, generating reports and completing other required paperwork, and storing, filing, and maintaining the data. The 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. The OMB control number for this information collection appear at the beginning and the end of this document. In addition OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations, after initial display in the final rule, are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OPP 2004 0186, which is available for public viewing at the OPP Docket in the Public Information and Records Integrity Branch, Rm. 119, Crystal Mall # 2, 1801 South Bell St.., Arlington, VA. This docket facility is open from 8: 30 a. m. to 4: 00 p. m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The docket telephone number is ( 703) 305 5805.

Agency revoke all tolerances and cancel all registrations for the
pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The petitioner, NRDC,
requests this action to obtain what they believe would be proper
application of the safety standards of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), section 408, as amended by the Food Quality
Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders, including environmental,
human health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. This listing is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for readers regarding entities
likely to be affected by this action.Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

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

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.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA requests public comment during the next 60 days on a petition
(available under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0877) received from
the NRDC requesting that the Agency revoke all tolerances (maximum
legal residue limits) and cancel all registrations for the pesticide
2,4-D. The petitioner, NRDC, claims that EPA cannot make a finding that
there is a reasonable certainty of no harm from dietary residues of
2,4-D and, therefore, that the Agency must revoke all tolerances
established under section 408 of FFDCA, as amended by FQPA.
    As a part of the petition, NRDC claims that the Agency did not
consider the full spectrum of potential human health effects associated
with 2,4-D in connection with EPA's reassessment of the existing 2,4-D
tolerances, and EPA's environmental risk assessment including:
    1. Information on the endocrine disrupting effects of 2,4-D.
    2. Information on the neurotoxicity related to 2,4-D exposure.
    3. Information that products containing 2,4-D are mutagenic.
    4. Data showing that dermal absorption of 2,4-D is enhanced by
alcohol consumption, sunscreen, and DEET which the EPA's exposure
assessment failed to include.
    5. Information about adverse developmental effects at doses below
those included in EPA's risk assessment for exposure of infants to 2,4-
D in breast milk.
    EPA's risk assessment of 2,4-D and findings on whether the
tolerances for 2,4-D comply with the safety standard in FFDCA section
408, as amended by FQPA, are contained in the Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) document for 2,4-D which is available on
EPA's pesticide webpage at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/
reregistration/status.htm. Docket materials for this pesticide are
available in the electronic docket at http://www.regulations.gov; risk
assessment and related documents for this pesticide can be found under
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-0167.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    This action is taken under the authority of FFDCA section
408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3).

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; NSPS for the Graphic Arts Industry (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for the Graphic Arts
Industry (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQ) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 0657.12,
OMB Control No. 2060-0105), to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is
currently approved through February 28, 2017. Public comments were
previously requested via the Federal Register (81 FR 26546) on May 3,
2016 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 neither conduct nor 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 May 1, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2013-0302, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our
preferred method), or by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to:

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.

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: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as the specific
requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQ. This includes submitting
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and
results, and maintaining 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
reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Graphics arts facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60
Subpart QQ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 21 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,920 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $198,000 (per year), which includes $0
annualized capital/startup and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden and cost as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program
changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred for two
reasons: (1) This ICR assumes all existing respondents will have to
familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year; and (2) the
burden has increased due an increase in the estimated number of sources
subject to the standard. The number of sources has increased by one
since the last ICR to account for industry growth in the past three
years.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 19d-3; SEC File No. 270-245, OMB Control No. 3235-0204

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 19d-
3 (17 CFR 240.19d-3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 19d-3 prescribes the form and content of applications to the
Commission by persons seeking Commission review of final disciplinary
actions against them taken by self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'')
for which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency. The
Commission uses the information provided in the application filed
pursuant to Rule 19d-3 to review final actions taken by SROs including:
(1) Final disciplinary sanctions; (2) denial or conditioning of
membership, participation or association; and (3) prohibitions or
limitations of access to services offered by a SRO or member thereof.
    It is estimated that approximately 40 respondents will utilize this
application procedure annually. This figure is based upon past
submissions. It is estimated that each respondent will submit
approximately one response. The staff estimates that the average number
of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d-3 will
be approximately eighteen hours. We estimate that approximately 25
firms or natural persons would draft the applications themselves for an
aggregate annual hourly burden of 450 (25 x 18), and that 15 would hire
outside counsel, at a cost of $7,218 per submission, for an aggregate
annual dollar cost burden of $108,270 (15 x $7,218).
    The filing of an application pursuant to Rule 19d-3 is voluntary
and does not require the collection of confidential information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should
be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission,

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503
or by sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii)
Charles Riddle, Acting Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities
and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0972; FRL-9329-9]

Extension of Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions (Multiple
Chemicals)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation extends time-limited tolerances for the
pesticides listed in Unit II. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. These
actions are in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions under
section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA) authorizing use of these pesticides. Section 408(l)(6) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requires EPA to establish
a time-limited tolerance or exemption from the requirement for a
tolerance for pesticide chemical residues in food that will result from
the use of a pesticide under an emergency exemption granted by EPA.

DATES: This regulation is effective December 28, 2011. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before February 27, 2012,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0972. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose

disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    EPA published final rules in the Federal Register for each chemical
listed. The initial issuance of these final rules announced that EPA,
on its own initiative, under section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a, was
establishing time-limited tolerances.
    EPA established the tolerances because FFDCA section 408(l)(6)
requires EPA to establish a time-limited tolerance or exemption from
the requirement for a tolerance for pesticide chemical residues in food
that will result from the use of a pesticide under an emergency
exemption granted by EPA under FIFRA section 18. Such tolerances can be
established without providing notice or time for public comment.
    EPA received requests to extend the use of these chemicals for this
year's growing season. After having reviewed these submissions, EPA
concurs that emergency conditions exist. EPA assessed the potential
risks presented by residues for each chemical. In doing so, EPA
considered the safety standard in FFDCA section 408(b)(2), and decided
that the necessary tolerance under FFDCA section 408(l)(6) would be
consistent with the safety standard and with FIFRA section 18.
    The data and other relevant material have been evaluated and
discussed in the final rule originally published to support these uses.
Based on that data and information considered, the Agency reaffirms
that extension of these time-limited tolerances will continue to meet
the requirements of FFDCA section 408(l)(6). Therefore, the time-
limited tolerances are extended until the date listed. EPA will publish
a document in the Federal Register to remove the revoked tolerances
from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Although these tolerances
will expire and are revoked on the date listed, under FFDCA section
408(l)(5), residues of the pesticide not in excess of the amounts
specified in the tolerance remaining in or on the commodity after that
date will not be unlawful, provided the residue is present as a result
of an application or use of a pesticide at a time and in a manner that
was lawful under FIFRA, the tolerance was in place at the time of

the application, and the residue does not exceed the level that was
authorized by the tolerance. EPA will take action to revoke these
tolerances earlier if any experience with, scientific data on, or other
relevant information on this pesticide indicate that the residues are
not safe.
    Tolerances for the use of the following pesticide chemicals on
specific commodities are being extended:
    Diflubenzuron. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of
the insecticide, diflubenzuron for control of Mormon crickets (Anabrus
simplex) and grasshoppers (Family Acrididae, various spp.) on alfalfa
grown for hay. This regulation extends time-limited tolerances for
residues of the insecticide, diflubenzuron and its metabolites p-
chlorophenylurea and p-chloroaniline in or on alfalfa, forage and
alfalfa, hay at 6.0 parts per million (ppm), for an additional 3-year
period. These tolerances will expire and be revoked on December 31,
2014. Time-limited tolerances were originally published in the Federal
Register of November 28, 2008 (73 FR 72352) (FRL 8388-9).
    Linuron. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of
linuron on lentils for control of mayweed chamomile and prickly lettuce
in Washington and Idaho. This regulation extends a time-limited
tolerance for combined residues of the herbicide linuron (3-(3,4-
dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea) and its metabolites convertible
to 3,4-dichloroaniline, in or on lentil at 0.1 ppm for an additional 3-
year period. This tolerance will expire and is revoked on December 31,
2014. A time-limited tolerance was originally published in the Federal
Register of September 5, 2008 (73 FR 51722) (FRL-8379-6).
    Metconazole. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of
the fungicide, metconazole for control of Orange Rust (Puccinia
kuehnii) on sugarcane in Florida. This regulation extends time-limited
tolerances for residues of the fungicide, metconazole, 5-[(4-
chlorophenyl)-methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-
ylmethyl)cyclopentanol, including its metabolites and degradates, in or
on sugarcane, cane at 1.6 ppm and sugarcane, molasses at 3.2 ppm for an
additional 3-year period. These tolerances will expire and be revoked
on December 31, 2014. Time-limited tolerances were originally published
in the Federal Register of May 7, 2009 (74 FR 21260) (FRL 8408-6).
    Pyraclostrobin. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use
of the fungicide, pyraclostrobin for control of Orange Rust (Puccinia
kuehnii) on sugarcane in Florida. This regulation extends time-limited
tolerances for combined residues of the fungicide pyraclostrobin;
carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester and its desmethoxy
metabolite; (methyl-N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenylcarbamate, in or on sugarcane, cane at 0.02 ppm and
sugarcane, molasses at 0.4 ppm for an additional 3-year period. These
tolerances will expire and be revoked on December 31, 2014. Time-
limited tolerances were originally published in the Federal Register of
March 18, 2009 (74 FR 11494) (FRL 8402-8).
    Spiromesifen. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of
spiromesifen on soybeans for control of spider mites in Delaware. This
regulation extends the time-limited tolerances for combined residues of
the miticide spiromesifen [2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-
oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate] and 4-hydroxy-3-
(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one, calculated as
the stoichiometric equivalent of spiromesifen, in or on soybean forage
at 30 ppm, soybean hay at 86 ppm, and soybean seed at 0.02 ppm for an
additional 3-year period. These tolerances will expire and are revoked
on December 31, 2014. Time-limited tolerances originally published in
the Federal Register of April 8, 2009 (74 FR 15880) (FRL-8406-6).

III. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards
program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established MRL's for diflubenzuron on alfalfa;
linuron on lentil; metconazole or pyraclostrobin on sugarcane; nor
spiromesifen on soybean hay, forage, or seed.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes time-limited tolerances under section
408(d) of FFDCA in response to petitions 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 section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerances 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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) (Pub. L. 104-4).
    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), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

V. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

October 8, 2009.

    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's
(Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that, to
eliminate unnecessary expense or improve administrative efficiency, the
Secretary may establish a restricted service list for a particular
phase or issue in a proceeding.\1\ The restricted service list should

of the decisional authority establishing the list, are active
participants with respect to the phase or issue in the proceeding for
which the list is established.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR section 385.2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission staff is consulting with the Alaska State Historic
Preservation Officer (hereinafter, SHPO) and the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation (hereinafter, Council) pursuant to the Council's
regulations, 36 CFR part 800, implementing section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. section 470 f), to
prepare and execute a programmatic agreement for managing properties
included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of
Historic Places at the Takatz Lake Hydroelectric Project No. 13234-001.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission and the
SHPO, would satisfy the Commission's section 106 responsibilities for
