DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-28059; Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-13-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) for all Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-Trent 553-61, 553A2-61, 556-61,
556A2-61, 556B-61, 556B2-61, 560-61, 560A2-61, 768-60, 772-60, 772B-60,
875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17, 892B-17, and 895-17 turbofan
engines. The existing AD currently requires inspection of the
intermediate-pressure (IP) compressor rotor shaft rear balance land for
cracks. Since we issued that AD, a crack was detected in a Trent 500 IP
compressor rotor shaft rear balance land during a shop visit, and
further engineering evaluation done by RR concluded that the cracking
may also exist in Trent 900 engines. This proposed AD would require
inspections of the IP compressor rotor shaft as required by the
existing AD while adding on-wing inspections for the Trent 500 engines,
and on-wing and in-shop inspections for the Trent 900 engines. We are
proposing this AD to detect cracking on the IP compressor rotor shaft
rear balance land, which could lead to uncontained engine failure and
damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 20, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2007-
28059; Directorate Identifier 2007-NE-13-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy

aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider all comments received by

comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    On May 15, 2012, we issued AD 2012-10-12, Amendment 39-17061 (77 FR
31176, May 25, 2012), for all RR RB211-Trent 553-61, 553A2-61, 556-61,
556A2-61, 556B-61, 556B2-61, 560-61, 560A2-61, 768-60, 772-60, 772B-60,
875-17, 877-17, 884-17, 884B-17, 892-17, 892B-17, and 895-17 turbofan
engines. That AD requires continuing initial inspections, adding
additional inspections, and a mandatory terminating action. That AD
resulted from reports of additional cracking on RB211-Trent 700 and
RB211-Trent 800 IP compressor rotor shafts. We issued that AD to detect
cracking on the IP compressor rotor shaft rear balance land, which
could lead to uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2012-10-12, Amendment 39-17061 (77 FR 31176, May
25, 2012), a crack in a Trent 500 IP compressor rotor shaft rear
balance land was detected during a shop visit. Further engineering
evaluation, done by RR, concluded that the cracking may also exist in
Trent 900 engines.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed RR Non-Modification Alert Service Bulletin (NMASB) No.
RB.211-72-AH058, dated December 13, 2012, and RR NMASB No. RB.211-72-
AH059, dated December 11, 2012. NMASB No. RB.211-72-AH058 describes
procedures for inspection of RB211-Trent 553-61, 553A2-61, 556-61,
556A2-61, 556B-61, 556B2-61, 560-61, and 560A2-61 engines. NMASB No.
RB.211-72-AH059 describes procedures for inspection of RB211-Trent 970-
84, 970B-84, 972-84, 972B-84, 977-84, 977B-84, and 980-84 engines.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain all the requirements of AD 2012-10-
12, Amendment 39-17061 (77 FR 31176, May 25, 2012). This proposed AD
would add requirements to perform on-wing inspections for the Trent 500
and on-wing and in-shop inspections for the Trent 900 engines.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 136 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 14 hours per engine to perform required inspections. The
average labor rate is $85 per hour. Replacement parts are estimated to
cost about $2,271 per engine. Based on these figures, we estimate the
cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $470,696.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the

    Section 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C.
371) and part 7 (21 CFR part 7), subpart C set forth the recall
regulations (guidelines) and provide guidance to manufacturers on
recall responsibilities. The guidelines apply to all FDA regulated
products (i.e., food, including animal feed; drugs, including animal
drugs; medical devices, including in vitro diagnostic products;
cosmetics; biological products intended for human use; and tobacco).
These responsibilities include development of a recall strategy that
requires time by the firm to determine the actions or procedures
required to manage the recall (Sec.  7.42); providing FDA with complete
details of the recall including reason(s) for the removal or
correction, risk evaluation, quantity produced, distribution
information, firm's recall strategy, a copy of any recall
communication(s), and a contact official (Sec.  7.46); notifying direct
accounts of the recall, providing guidance regarding further
distribution, giving instructions as to what to do with the product,
providing recipients with a ready means of reporting to the recalling
firm (Sec.  7.49); and submitting periodic status reports so that FDA
may assess the progress of the recall. Status report information may be
determined by, among other things, evaluation return reply cards,
effectiveness checks, and product returns (Sec.  7.53); and providing
the opportunity for a firm to request in writing that FDA terminate the
recall (Sec.  7.55(b)).
    A search of the FDA database was performed to determine the number
of recalls, and terminations that took place during fiscal years (FYs)
2008 to 2010. The resulting number of total recalls (9,303) and
terminations (2,858) from this database search were then averaged over
the 3 years, and the resulting per year average of recalls (3,101) and
terminations (953) are used in estimating the current annual reporting
burden for this report. FDA estimates the total annual industry burden
to collect and provide the previous information to be 443,820 burden
hours.
    The following is a summary of the estimated annual burden hours for
recalling firms (manufacturers, processors, and distributors) to comply
with the voluntary reporting requirements of FDA's recall regulations
recognizing that there may be a vast difference in the information
collection and reporting time involved in different recalls of FDA's
regulated products.
    The annual reporting burdens are explained as follows:

I. Total Annual Reporting

A. Recall Strategy

    Request firms develop a recall strategy including provision for
public warnings and effectiveness checks. Under this portion of the
collection of information, the Agency estimates it will receive 3,101
responses annually based on the average number of recalls over the last
3 FYs.

B. Firm Initiated Recall and Recall Communications

    Request firms voluntarily remove or correct foods and drugs (human
or animal), cosmetics, medical devices,

biologics, and tobacco to immediately notify the appropriate FDA
district office of such actions. The firm is to provide complete
details of the recall reason, risk evaluation, quantity produced,
distribution information, firms' recall strategy, and a contact
official as well as requires firms to notify their direct accounts of
the recall and to provide recipients with a ready means of reporting to
the recalling firm. Under these portions of the collection of
information, the Agency estimates it will receive 3,101 responses
annually based on the average number of recalls over the last 3 FYs.

C. Recall Status Reports

    Request that recalling firms provide periodic status reports so FDA
can ascertain the progress of the recall. This request only applies to
firms with active recalls, and is estimated to be reported every 2 to 4
weeks. This collection of information will generate approximately
27,924 responses annually, based on the average number of recalls over
the last 3 FYs (3,101), less the average number of terminations over
the last 3 FYs (953), multiplied by the conservative frequency of
reporting per year (13).

D. Termination of a Recall

    Provide the firms an opportunity to request in writing that FDA end
the recall. The Agency estimates it will receive 953 responses annually
based on the average number of terminations over the past 3 FYs.

II. Hours per Response Estimates

    FDA has no information that would allow it to make a calculated
estimate on the hours per response burden to FDA regulated firms to
conduct recalls. Variables in the type of products, the quantity and
level of distribution, and the various circumstances of recall
notifications could cause the hours per response to vary significantly.
The best guesstimate of average burden hours per response from previous
information collection request reports are utilized again for the
current estimates on burden hours per response.
    In the Federal Register of June 29, 2011 (76 FR 38184), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. One comment was received and was PRA
related.
    (Comment) One comment noted that the FDA Average Burden per
Response (ABPR) are low. The commenter's estimates are double the
estimates provided by FDA.
    (Response) FDA regulates many different types of products
including, but not limited to, medical products, food and feed,
cosmetics, and tobacco products. From FYs 2008 to 2010, FDA classified
approximately 9,303 recalls of FDA-regulated products. Further, FDA
notes that not all recall events reported to the Agency are similar in
nature and may entail different information and volume of information
on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, FDA could not calculate or
determine an estimate for the average burden per response for a
particular or specific product type or area and has based its estimates
for all industries that it regulates.
    (Comment) One comment questioned the validity of the methodology
and assumption used by FDA, citing that data ranges are not given. The
comment encouraged FDA to provide data ranges for industry to assess
better the accuracy of the Agency's estimates.
    (Response) As stated in the prior response, FDA regulates many
different types of products including, but not limited to, medical
products, food and feed, cosmetics, and tobacco products. From FY 2008
to 2010, FDA classified approximately 9,303 recalls of FDA-regulated
products. Further, FDA notes that not all recall events reported to the
Agency are similar in nature where complexity and size of the recall
can dictate the amount of recall information and data to be submitted.
Therefore, FDA could not provide ranges of the burden for data
collection for industry and based its estimates across the entire scope
of recalls of FDA-regulated products.
    (Comment) One comment suggests that the Agency develop an
electronic tool for recall reporting or ``eRecall'' tool, and ask, that
industry be able to provide input to any developer of user requirements
for such a tool before implementations.
    (Response) FDA will consider the suggestion of an electronic recall
tool for reporting. However, because of the many types of industries
that FDA regulates, such a tool may not be able to accommodate the
variety of information specific to many of these industries.
    (Comment) One comment suggests that recall requirements should
apply only to finished goods that are consumable and that FDA's entire
recall program, not just information collection, be reviewed to
determine if the program serves the purpose originally intended to
protect consumers.
    (Response) FDA disagrees with the comment. FDA believes that
violative products in the marketplace should be recalled from
consignees and customers who received them even if they are not
finished goods that are consumables. For example, a recall of a
violative product which is used for further manufacture and that poses
a health risk would also serve as notification to consignees and
customers to remove the recalled product from further use or
distribution, including providing instructions for additional recall of
products that may have been manufactured using the recalled products.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project Nos. 2146-126]

Alabama Power Company; Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment

August 24, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR Part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed an application submitted by Alabama
Power Company (licensee) for non-project use of project lands and
waters at the Coosa River Project (FERC No. 2146). An environmental
assessment (EA) has been prepared as part of staff's review of the
proposal. The proposed use would be located on Logan Martin Lake in
Talladega County, Alabama.
    In the application, the licensee proposes to issue all Shoreline
Real Estate, LLC, to install recreational facilities for use by
residents of the Lincoln Harbor development. The proposed facilities
would consist of 15 floating, cluster docks accommodating a total of
176 watercraft, one concrete boat ramp, 2 wooden boardwalks, 2 asphalt-
paved walking trails, and 2 wooden bridges. The applicant would also
construct a paved parking lot and concrete loading pier, the majority
of both to be located outside the project boundary. The loading pier
will service a dry storage facility located outside of the project
boundary. The EA contains Commission staff's analysis of the probable
environmental impacts of the proposed action and concludes that
approval of the proposal would not constitute a major federal action
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The EA is attached to a Commission order titled ``Order Modifying
and Approving Non-Project Use of Project Lands and Waters,'' which was
issued August 24, 2010, and is available for review and reproduction at
the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street,
NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. The EA may also be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``elibrary''

Northern Indiana Public Service Company, Indiana Norway-Oakdale
Project; Notice of Revised Restricted Service List for the Programmatic
Agreements for Managing Properties Included in or Eligible for
Inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places

November 16, 2006.
    On October 12, 2006, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) issued notice of a proposed restricted service list for
the preparation of a programmatic agreement for managing properties
included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of
Historic Places at the Norway-Oakdale Hydroelectric Project No. 12514.
Rule 2010(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR. 2010(d)(1) (2005), provides for the establishment of such a list
for a particular phase or issue in a proceeding to eliminate
unnecessary expense or improve administrative efficiency. Under Rule
2010(d)(4), persons on the official service list are to be given notice
of any proposal to establish a restricted service list and an
opportunity to show why they should also be included on the restricted
service list.
    On October 23, 2006, the Northern Indiana Public Service Company
(NIPSCO) filed a request to include Barbara K. Heffernan and Sarah S.
Dietrich, both counsel for NIPSCO, on the proposed restricted service
list.
    Under Rule 2010(d)(2), any restricted service list will contain the
names of each person on the official service list, or the person's
representative, who, in the judgment of the decisional authority
establishing the list, is an active participant with respect to the
phase or issue in the proceeding for which the list is established. As
the licensee for the project, NIPSCO has an identifiable interest in
issues relating to the management of historic properties at the Norway-
Oakdale Project. Therefore, NIPSCO's representatives will be added to
the restrictive service list.
    Accordingly, the restricted service list issued on October 12,
2006, for the Norway-Oakdale Project No. 12514, is revised to add the
following persons:

Barbara K. Heffernan, Schiff Hardin LLP, 1101 Connecticut Ave., NW.,
Suite 600, Washington, DC 20036.
Sarah S. Dietrich, Senior Attorney, NiSource, Inc., 2603 Augusta Drive,

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R08-OAR-2007-0648; FRL-8563-5]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; States
of South Dakota and Wyoming; Interstate Transport of Pollution

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve State Implementation Plans (SIPs)
submitted by the States of South Dakota and Wyoming that address
interstate transport with respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone and fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality
Standards. EPA has determined that the Interstate Transport
declarations submitted by South Dakota on May 15, 2007, and by Wyoming
on May 3, 2007, satisfy the requirements of the Clean Air Act section
110(a)(2)(D)(i) provisions, also known as the ``good neighbor''
provisions, that a state SIP contain adequate provisions prohibiting
air pollutant emissions from sources or activities in the state from
adversely affecting another state. This action is being taken under
section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register,
EPA is approving the States' SIP revisions as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views these as non-
controversial SIP revisions and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the preamble to the
direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not
take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse
comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 9, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R08-

SUBJECT: 	Description of ECHO Data Masking for Unpermitted CAFOs and AFOs that an Authorized NPDES Program or EPA have Assessed and Found to have not violated the Clean Water Act [DCN 0207]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      EPA received many comments from the animal agricultural sector in response to the proposed rule. Although this rule only changes the mode of transmission of NPDES information from paper-based reports to electronic reporting and does not address EPA's practices for managing and sharing that information, EPA received comments regarding privacy, security, management of confidential business information, and EPA's current practice of posting inspection information on unpermitted CAFOs and Animal Feeding Operations (AFOs) on its public website [Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO)  -  http://echo.epa.gov]. EPA used the supplemental notice to the proposed rule to clarify the effects of this proposed rule on CAFOs in response to these comments (see 1 December 2014; 79 FR 71073).
      This final rule would only require CAFOs with NPDES permits to submit information that the Clean Water Act and existing regulations already requires them to provide to permitting authorities. See 33 U.S.C. 1342. The final rule simply modernizes the format through which permitted CAFOs would submit certain types of information by requiring electronic submission as opposed to paper-based reporting. This modernized format will increase efficiencies for permitted CAFOs as well as regulators. Additionally, under this final rule a permitted CAFO can also request a temporary waiver from electronic reporting consistent with authorized NPDES program's implementation plan.
      As part of its oversight role, EPA currently gathers information from states on point sources (both permitted and unpermitted) that discharge pollutants or may discharge pollutants for a variety of purposes, including determining compliance with applicable effluent limitations and understanding how authorized states are implementing the NPDES program.  Under 40 CFR 123.26(b) and (c), authorized NPDES programs are required to conduct inspections, including of unpermitted facilities, to determine whether there are facilities that are discharging without a permit. Under 40 CFR 123.41(a), authorized states are required to share all information obtained in the administration of their NPDES program with EPA. EPA maintains this information in its national NPDES data system ICIS-NPDES. EPA also makes inspection data publicly available via ECHO.
      EPA also solicited comments in the supplemental notice to the proposed rule on whether it should change its current practice and begin masking facility information for unpermitted CAFOs and AFOs that EPA or state inspectors found were not discharging and do not require an NPDES permit. EPA published the following example (see Table 1) in the supplemental notice to the proposed rule showing how EPA could mask these data and solicited comments on this approach.

Table 1: Proposed Hypothetical Example of Masking Unpermitted CAFOs and AFOs that State Inspectors Found Were Not Discharging and Do Not Require an NPDES Permit
                                 Facility #1
                                 Facility #2
                           Show-Me State Animal Farm
            Location: 11300 Ozark Lane, Perryville, Missouri 63775
                                County: Perry
                      Lat.: 37.836084, Long: -89.738644
Inspection(s): 3/14/2010 (no violation identified); 6/22/2014 (discharging without an NPDES permit)
                         Unpermitted CAFO/AFO-0000001
                              Location: Missouri
                         County: Redacted from Website
                       Lat./Lon.: Redacted from Website
Inspection(s): 2/17/2009 (no violation identified); 5/25/2013 (no violation identified)

      In this hypothetical example, the unpermitted CAFO shown in the column labeled "Facility #1" would not have its facility and contact information displayed on EPA's public website until the weekly refresh of ECHO data from ICIS-NPDES after 22 June 2014, which is the date the state or EPA Region identified that the facility had a Clean Water Act violation (i.e., discharging without an NPDES permit) and entered these data into ICIS-NPDES. If an unpermitted CAFO does not have a Clean Water Act violation as determined by the authorized NPDES program or EPA, then the facility and contact information would not be displayed on EPA's ECHO website (see the column labeled "Facility #2" in the above table).
      EPA also solicited input on potential changes to its national NPDES data system (ICIS-NPDES), which are necessary to provide authorized NPDES programs and Regions with the capability to identify these non-permitted CAFO/AFOs that do not require an NPDES permit (1 December 2014; 79 FR 71080).
      Comments from the animal agricultural sector were in favor of this proposed approach while other commenters (e.g., environmental advocacy groups) were not. Some authorized NPDES programs also support this as a reasonable approach in balancing the competing interests of privacy and public access to these data. Separate from this rulemaking, in light of concerns raised regarding the privacy interests of an unpermitted CAFO or AFO that an authorized NPDES program or EPA has assessed and found to have not violated the Clean Water Act, EPA will change its current practice and mask on the ECHO public website the related facility-specific facility information (see Table 1).
      EPA will implement this data masking in an iterative, two-step process. EPA is using a two-step process because unpermitted facilities in EPA's national NPDES data system (ICIS-NPDES) cannot currently be identified by CAFO permit component data field. As a first step, EPA will use other currently available data in ICIS-NPDES to identify unpermitted CAFOs or AFOs that an authorized NPDES program or EPA have assessed and found to have not violated the Clean Water Act using the following conditions:
      Interim Approach
      * Condition #1: Facility has either a SIC code beginning with "02", or NAICS code of "112" (both are for agricultural livestock operations), or a CAFO permit component; and
      * Condition #2: Facility does not have an active NPDES permit (have a permit type "Unpermitted" or permit status of "Pending", "Not Needed", "Terminated", or "Retired"); and
      * Condition #3: Facility does not have any NPDES violations (Single-Event, DMR, Compliance Schedule, or Permit Schedule).
      EPA plans to implement this interim approach by the effective date of this final rule. EPA will also continue to work with authorized NPDES programs to ensure that they are sharing all the data necessary to help implement this first approach. In particular, authorized NPDES programs will need to ensure that they are sharing SIC code or NAICS code data with ICIS-NPDES.
      EPA plans to supersede the first approach with a second data masking approach outlined in the Supplemental Notice to the proposed rule (1 December 2014; 79 FR 71080). The second data masking approach will only use CAFO permit component data to identify unpermitted CAFOs and AFOs.
      Second Approach
      * Condition #1: Facility has a CAFO permit component; and
      * Condition #2: Facility does not have an active NPDES permit (have a permit type "Unpermitted" or permit status of "Pending", "Not Needed", "Terminated", or "Retired"); and
      * Condition #3: Facility does not have any NPDES violations (Single-Event, DMR, Compliance Schedule, or Permit Schedule).
       This second approach will take more time to implement as upgrades to ICIS-NPDES and coordination with authorized NPDES programs are necessary to identify the exact set of unpermitted CAFOs and AFOs that an authorized NPDES program or EPA have assessed and found to have not violated the Clean Water Act. EPA anticipates it will need a year after the final rule to adopt the above second data masking approach.

October 6-9, 2009 FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel Meeting

Derivation of Post-application Dermal Exposure Algorithm

______________________________________________________________

This document provides the rationale and derivation for the
post-application dermal exposure equation (8.3) for the treated pet
scenario found in Section 8.2.2 Post-application Dermal Exposure
Assessment of the Standard Operating Procedures for Residential
Pesticide Exposure Assessment submitted to the FIFRA Scientific Advisory
Panel for review and comment during the meeting held October 6-9, 2009.

A transferable residue (TR) -- expressed in units of (for example)
ug/cm2 -- is the (area) normalized amount of pesticide that is
anticipated to transfer from a pet to person via dermal contact after
application of a pesticide treatment.  These pesticide residues
represented by TR degrade over time resulting is less residue being
available for transfer.  In developing the dermal exposure equation, the
TR values were assumed to dissipate over time as defined by a
first-order decay function:

												(1.1)

where TR(t) is the transferable residue at time t (in hours), TR0 is the
transferable residue (i.e. TR at time t=0), and k is the decay constant
that defines how rapidly the TR dissipates.

Although the dissipation process is defined by the decay constant, k, a
more intuitive parameter is to define the percent of the TR that
dissipates per day.  Based on the dissipation per day, d, one can derive
the decay constant (k) that would result in such a daily dissipation
rate.  For example, consider a TR that is defined to dissipate by 14%
per day (i.e. d = 0.14).  The ratio between TRs separated by 24 hours
would be 0.86.  In other words, a TR value 24 hours later would be 86%
of its current value as derived below.

It follows that:

More generally, k can be expressed in terms of d:

(1.2)

Note that k is divided by 24 since it is expressed in units hr-1, but d
is the (unitless) fraction that dissipates per day.

Once the daily dissipation rate (d) has been specified, equation (1.1)
can be used to calculate the average daily dermal exposure:

												(1.3)

where TC is the transfer coefficient, n is the number of days of
exposure over which the average exposure is being calculated, and ET is
the exposure time per day expressed in hours per day.

 The exposure equation is based on integrating over ET hours of contact
with a pet immediately following application, when TR values are
highest.  The integration over ET hours is repeated every 24 hours for
the total number of days for which dermal exposure is being calculated.
When the exposure equation (1.3) is rewritten in an expanded form (i.e.
without summation notation), it is more apparent that dermal contact
with a pet is assumed to take place in a repeated manner on a daily
basis for the same amount of time (ET) each day and at regular and
precisely- spaced intervals (i.e., here, every 24 hours):

												(1.4)

Graphically, the integration of the equation describing the transferable
residues over time, TR(t) at regular intervals could be displayed as
follows:

The integration in the expanded exposure equation (1.4) can next be
written as:

By grouping similar terms, the above equation can be written as:

 as 1, the equation can be written as:

 can be factored out to rewrite the equation as:

 , which allows the exposure equation to expressed as:

												(1.5)

 < 1, which implies that the summation of the geometric series is as
follows:

												(1.6)

Substituting equation (1.6) into (1.5) provides the final reduced form
of the average daily dermal exposure equation for ET hours of contact
with a pet per day, for n consecutive days assuming the transferable
residue TR declines in a first order decay process described by the
decay constant k and the alternative parameter d, the (fractional)
dissipation per day:

										(1.7) [and (8.3)]

This is the equation presented as Equation 8.3 in the Standard Operating
Procedures for Residential Pesticide Exposure Assessment being presented
to the SAP.

 The exposure calculations described in this section are not considered
appropriate for pet collar treatments since pesticide residues are
expected to be released at a constant rate from the collar and are not
expected to dissipate over time.
