Airworthiness Directives; DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for DG
Flugzeugbau GmbH Models DG-500 Elan Orion, DG-500 Elan Trainer, DG-500/
20 Elan, DG-500/22 Elan, DG-500M, and DG-500MB gliders. This proposed
AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as damage to the bulkhead of the glider's center
of gravity (CG) tow hook that, if not detected and corrected, may lead
to failure of the fiberglass structure during a winch launch. We are
issuing this proposed AD to require actions to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD No.: 2011-0209, dated October 26, 2011 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Occurrence of damage of the bulkhead of CG tow hook and its
glued joints to fuselage shell was reported.
    Investigation concluded that this damage may occur after wheel
up landing.
    Damage of bulkheads for CG tow hook of the sailplane or powered
sailplane, if not detected and corrected, may lead to failure of
glass fibre structure during a winch launch.
    DG-Flugzeugbau GmbH developed and published Technical Note (TN)
No 500/04 with the associated Working Instruction No 1 to detect and
correct damaged CG tow hook bulkhead and its glued joints.
    For the above-mentioned reasons, this AD requires a one-time
inspection of the CG tow hook and its reinforcement.

    The MCAI requires you to inspect the CG tow hook bulkhead for
damage and reinforce the bulkhead. You may obtain further information
by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    DG Flugzeugbau GmbH has issued TN No 500/4, dated August 30, 2011;
and Working Instruction No. 1, dated August 30, 2011. The actions
described in this service information are intended to correct the
unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 16 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 5 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $1,030 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $23,280 or $1,455 per product.

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 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 this 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, 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
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

     Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

DG Flugzeugbau GmbH: Docket No. FAA-2012-0017; Directorate
Identifier 2011-CE-039-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by March 2, 2012.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Models DG-500 Elan Orion,
DG-500 Elan Trainer, DG-500/20 Elan, DG-500/22 Elan, DG-500M, and
DG-500MB gliders, all serial numbers (S/N), certificated in any
category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 53: Fuselage.

(e) Reason

    This proposed AD was prompted by damage to the bulkhead of the
glider's center of gravity (CG) tow hook that, if not detected and
corrected, may lead to failure of the fiberglass structure during a
winch launch. We are issuing this proposed AD to require actions to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) For all gliders: Within 30 days after the effective date of
this AD, inspect the bulkhead of the CG tow hook and the bulkhead's
glued joints for damage following DG Flugzeugbau GmbH TN No 500/4,
dated August 30, 2011; and DG Flugzeugbau Working Instruction No. 1,
dated August 30, 2011.
    (2) For all gliders: If you find damage during the inspection
required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight,
reinforce the bulkhead of the CG tow hook following DG Flugzeugbau
GmbH TN No 500/4, dated August 30, 2011; and DG Flugzeugbau Working
Instruction No. 1, dated August 30, 2011.
    (3) For all gliders: Unless already done as required by
paragraph (f)(2) of this AD, within 5 months after the effective
date of this AD, reinforce the bulkhead of the CG tow hook following
DG Flugzeugbau GmbH TN No 500/4, dated August 30, 2011; and DG
Flugzeugbau Working Instruction No. 1, dated August 30, 2011.
    (4) For gliders with S/N 5E1 through S/N 5E23: While doing the
modification required by paragraph (f)(2) or (f)(3) of this AD,
install a new adapted tow hook access cover following DG Flugzeugbau
GmbH TN No 500/4, dated August 30, 2011; and DG Flugzeugbau Working
Instruction No. 1, dated August 30, 2011.
    (5) For all gliders: Although the EASA MCAI and DG Flugzeugbau
GmbH TN No 500/4, dated August 30, 2011, allow the inspection
required by paragraph (f)(1) of this AD to be done by a pilot-owner,
the U.S. regulatory system requires all actions of this AD to be
done by a certified mechanic.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this

Seventy-Second Report of the TSCA Interagency Testing Committee
to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency; Receipt of
Report and Request for Comments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Interagency Testing
Committee (ITC) transmitted its 72nd ITC Report to the Acting EPA
Administrator on June 13, 2013. In the 72nd ITC Report, which is
included with this notice, the ITC is revising the TSCA section 4(e)
Priority Testing List by removing 16 chemicals with insufficient dermal
absorption rate data, 98 High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program
orphan chemicals, and 50 diisocyanates and related compounds. The ITC
is removing 16 chemicals with insufficient dermal absorption rate data
because information from dermal studies can be readily obtained through
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and
EPA databases or other authoritative scientific resources. The ITC is
removing the 98 HPV Challenge Program orphan chemicals because they no
longer meet the = 1 million lb criterion for the HPV
Challenge Program. The ITC is removing the 50 diisocyanates and related
compounds because their production or importation volumes were not
reported to the 2006 Inventory Update Reporting (IUR) rule or the 2012
Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule.

II. Background

    The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 260l et seq.)
authorizes the Administrator of EPA to promulgate regulations under
TSCA section 4(a) requiring testing of chemicals and chemical groups in
order to develop data relevant to determining the risks that such
chemicals and chemical groups may present to health or the environment.
Section 4(e) of TSCA established the ITC to recommend chemicals and
chemical groups to the Administrator of EPA for priority testing
consideration. Section 4(e) of TSCA directs the ITC to revise the TSCA
section 4(e) Priority Testing List at least every 6 months.

I. Background

    The ITC was established by TSCA section 4(e) ``to make
recommendations to the Administrator respecting the chemical substances
and mixtures to which the Administrator should give priority
consideration for the promulgation of rules for testing under section
4(a) * * * At least every six months * * *, the Committee shall make
such revisions to the Priority Testing List as it determines to be
necessary and transmit them to the Administrator together with the
Committee's reasons for the revisions'' (Public Law 94-469, 90 Stat.
2003 et seq., 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). ITC reports are available from
the ITC's Web site (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/itc) and from
regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov) after publication in the
Federal Register. The ITC produces its revisions to the TSCA section
4(e) Priority Testing List with administrative and technical support
from the ITC staff and ITC members. ITC members and staff are listed at
the end of this report.

II. ITC's Activities During This Reporting Period (December 2012 to May
2013)

    The ITC welcomed a new member and new alternate member from the
Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology
and a new member from the National Science Foundation.
    During this reporting period, the ITC discussed the 16 chemicals
with insufficient dermal absorption rate data, branched 4-nonylphenol
(mixed isomers), phenol, 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-, 148 HPV
Challenge Program orphan chemicals, cadmium and cadmium compounds, 6
non-phthalate plasticizers, 25 phosphate ester and 2 other flame
retardants, 9 chemicals to which children living near hazardous waste
sites may be exposed, and 69 diisocyanates and related compounds
remaining on the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List. As a result
of these discussions, the ITC removed 16 chemicals with insufficient
dermal absorption rate data, 98 HPV Challenge Program orphan chemicals,
and 50 diisocyanates and related compounds from the TSCA section 4(e)
Priority Testing List. Orphan chemicals are those HPV chemicals for
which no sponsors have volunteered to develop and submit robust
summaries of basic hazard and fate testing data to the EPA. The hazard
and fate testing data requested by the EPA for HPV Challenge Program
orphan chemicals are necessary to establish a screening level
understanding of their potential human health and environmental
impacts. The chemicals with insufficient dermal absorption rate data,
HPV Challenge Program orphan chemicals and diisocyanates and related
compounds are discussed further in Unit III. of this 72nd ITC Report.
    As noted in this unit, the ITC also discussed the following
chemicals that remain on the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List:
Branched 4-nonylphenol (mixed isomers), phenol, 4-(1,1,3,3-
tetramethylbutyl)-, cadmium and cadmium compounds, 6 non-phthalate
plasticizers, 25 phosphate ester flame retardants, 2 other flame
retardants, and 9 chemicals to which children living near hazardous
waste sites may be exposed.
    Branched 4-nonylphenol (mixed isomers) (CAS No. 84852-15-3) and
phenol, 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)- (CAS No. 140-66-9) were added to
the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List in the ITC's 37th and 41st
Reports along with numerous other alkylphenols, alkylphenol
ethoxylates, and poly alkylphenols (Refs. 1 and 2). The remaining data
needed for branched 4-nonylphenol (mixed isomers) and phenol, 4-
(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)- can be obtained from avian reproduction
testing and fish multi-generation testing, respectively. Branched 4-
nonylphenol (mixed isomers) and phenol, 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-
will remain on the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List until the
avian reproduction testing and fish multi-generation testing is
completed or other information becomes available to justify removing
them from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List.
    Cadmium and cadmium compounds were added to the TSCA section 4(e)
Priority Testing List in the ITC's 68th and 69th Reports (Refs. 3 and
4). Cadmium and cadmium compounds were included in a TSCA section 8(d)
Health and Safety Data Reporting (HaSDR) rule that was published in the
Federal Register of December 3, 2012 (77 FR 71561) (FRL-9355-9). After
receiving adverse comments to the HaSDR rule, EPA published a document
withdrawing the HaSDR rule in the Federal Register of December 28, 2012
(77 FR 76419) (FRL-9375-3) due to questions and concerns raised about
the scope and extent of the HaSDR rule. EPA is considering the
questions and concerns raised in response to the HaSDR rule and next
steps with regard to that rule.
    Six non-phthalate plasticizers, 25 phosphate ester flame
retardants, and 2 other flame retardants were added to the TSCA section
4(e) Priority Testing List in the ITC's 69th Report (Ref. 4). They were
added to obtain existing bio-monitoring data on urinary metabolites
that will be used to assess the risks of these chemicals. The 2 other
flame retardants, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, 3,4,5,6-tetrabromo-,
1,2-bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, a.k.a. bis(2-ethyl-1-hexyl)
tetrabromophthalate (CAS No. 26040-51-7) and benzoic acid, 2,3,4,5-
tetrabromo-, 2-ethylhexyl ester, a.k.a. 2-ethylhexyl-2,3,4,5-
tetrabromobenzoate (CAS No. 183658-27-7) are included in the assessment
strategy that EPA developed for brominated phthalates (http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/2013wpractivities.html).
    The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) and Environment Canada
are collaborating on a study involving exposure of American Kestrels
(Falco sparverius) to 4 of the phosphate ester flame retardants
discussed in the ITC's 69th Report (Ref. 4). The 4 phosphate ester
flame retardants include: Ethanol, 2-butoxy-, 1,1',1''-phosphate,
a.k.a. tri(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (CAS No. 78-51-3); ethanol, 2-
chloro-, phosphate (3:1), a.k.a. tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (CAS No.
115-96-8); 2-propanol, 1-chloro-, 2,2',2''-phosphate, a.k.a. tris(1-
chloro-2-propyl)phosphate (CAS No. 13674-84-5) and 2-propanol, 1,3-
dichloro-, phosphate (3:1), a.k.a. tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)
phosphate (CAS: 13674-87-8). The study will provide novel
information on uptake kinetics and potential toxicity of priority
phosphate ester flame retardants that are currently found in wild bird
eggs in North America. One of these phosphate ester flame retardants,
ethanol, 2-chloro-, phosphate (3:1), a.k.a. tris(2-chloroethyl)
phosphate (CAS No. 115-96-8) is included in the risk assessment
strategy that EPA is developing for chlorinated phosphate esters
(http://www.epa.gov/oppt/existingchemicals/pubs/2013wpractivities.html).
    Nine chemicals to which children living near hazardous waste sites
may be exposed were added to the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing
List in the ITC's 69th Report (Ref. 4). They were added to obtain
existing biomonitoring data on blood levels that will be used to fill
priority data needs that were identified during the development of
ATSDR's Toxicological Profiles. Priority data needs are published in
the Federal Register and represent a wide variety of needs, including
biomonitoring studies to help establish reference values for exposed
populations as well as background levels for the general population
(http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/pdns/index.asp). The 9 chemicals to which
children living near hazardous waste sites may be exposed are from the
current unfilled priority data needs and any biomonitoring data will be
used to conduct public health assessments. The EPA is deliberating
options for satisfying the data needs for these 9 chemicals.

III. Chemicals Removed From the TSCA Section (4)(e) Priority Testing
List

A. Chemicals With Insufficient Dermal Absorption Rate Data

    In its 31st, 32nd, and 35th ITC Reports, the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) requested that the ITC add 24, 34, and
25 chemicals, respectively, to the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing
List and designate them for testing to develop dermal absorption rate
data (Refs. 5, 6, and 7). The ITC removed methyl methacrylate and
diethyl phthalate from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List in
its 34th ITC Report (Ref. 8) and cyclohexanone from the TSCA section
4(e) Priority Testing List in its 36th ITC Report (Ref. 9). Methyl
methacrylate, diethyl phthalate, and cyclohexanone

were removed from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List because
dermal absorption rate data were identified after these chemicals were
added to the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List. In its 45th ITC
Report (Ref. 10), the ITC removed 47 chemicals designated for dermal
absorption rate testing from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing
List, because the EPA published a rule proposing dermal absorption rate
testing for these chemicals (Ref. 11). In 2004, the EPA reviewed more
recent production volume, exposure, and dermal absorption rate data and
promulgated a rule requiring dermal absorption rate testing for 34 of
these chemicals (Ref. 12). The rationales for EPA's decision not to
finalize testing requirements for the other 13 chemicals in the
proposed rule are described in Ref. 11. In its 59th ITC Report, the ITC
removed 16 more chemicals with insufficient dermal absorption rate data
from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List (Ref. 13). The ITC
removed these 16 chemicals because their production volumes indicated
low potential for occupational exposures. In this 72nd ITC Report, the
ITC is removing the 16 remaining chemicals with insufficient dermal
absorption rate data from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List
(Table 2 of this unit). OSHA determined that for these 16 chemicals,
information from dermal studies can be readily obtained through the
OECD existing chemical database (eChemPortal), the EPA HPV database
(High Production Volume Information System (HPVIS) or other
authoritative scientific resources (Ref. 14). The ITC is removing these
chemicals as a result of OSHA's determination that sufficient
information is currently available on the dermal absorption
characteristics of these chemicals to warrant their removal from the
TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List.

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

B. HPV Challenge Program Orphan Chemicals

    In 2004, at the EPA's request, the ITC added 281 HPV Challenge
Program orphan (unsponsored) chemicals to the TSCA section 4(e)
Priority Testing List in the ITC's 55th and 56th Reports (Refs. 15 and
16). As of December 2012, 133 HPV Challenge Program orphan chemicals
had been removed from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List
because they were included in EPA's test rules, the testing was
voluntarily sponsored or because they no longer met the  1
million lb criterion for the HPV Challenge Program. Based on data
received from the 2006 IUR rule, and the 2012 CDR rule, EPA identified
98 HPV Challenge Program orphan chemicals with production volumes
consistently below 1 million lb. Since these 98 chemicals no longer
exceed the 1 million lb criterion for the HPV Challenge Program, EPA is
requesting their removal from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing
List in this 72nd ITC Report (Ref. 17). The 98 HPV Challenge Program
orphan chemicals being removed from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority
Testing List are listed in Table 3 of this unit. The 50 HPV Challenge
Program orphan chemicals remaining on the TSCA section 4(e) Priority
Testing List are listed in Table 4 of this unit.

C. Diisocyanates and Related Compounds

    At the request of the current EPA member to the ITC, 69
diisocyanates and related compounds were added to the TSCA section 4(e)
Priority Testing List in the ITC's 69th Report. They were added to
obtain numerous data on diisocyanates and related compounds used to
formulate a broad class of polyurethane products (e.g., sealants,
adhesives, etc.) that are intended to further react upon end-use (Ref.
4). The EPA determined that 50 of these diisocyanates and related
compounds were not reported to the EPA's 2006 IUR and 2012 CDR rules.
Since these 50 diisocyanates and related compounds were not reported to
the EPA's 2006 IUR and 2012 CDR rules, EPA is requesting their removal
from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List in this 72nd ITC
Report (Ref. 17). The 50 diisocyanates and related compounds being
removed from the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List are listed in
Table 5 of this unit. The 19 diisocyanates and related compounds
remaining on the TSCA section 4(e) Priority Testing List are listed in
Table 6 of this unit.

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, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. 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 Chemical Review Manager identified in the Table in Unit IV.

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 email. 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 preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed comprehensive draft human health and/or
ecological risk assessments for all pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. After reviewing comments received during the public comment
period, EPA may issue a revised risk assessment, explain any changes to
the draft risk assessment, and respond to comments and may request
public input on risk mitigation before completing a proposed
registration review decision for the pesticides listed in the Table in
Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide's
registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health and the environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV. pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's human health and/or ecological risk assessments for the
pesticides shown in the following table and opens a 60-day public
comment period on the risk assessments.

will have sufficient position accuracy and integrity for the following:
(1) Navigation, via the Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM)
SAPT; (2) Surveillance, via the Automatic Dependent Surveillance--
Broadcast (ADS-B) SAPT. In addition, the website will allow operators
to request authorization to operate in ADS-B-Out rule airspace with
aircraft that do not fully meet the ADS-B Out requirements via: (3)
ADS-B Deviation Authorization Pre-flight Tool (ADAPT)

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by November 25, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:
    By Electronic Docket: www.regulations.gov (Enter docket number into

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the

ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0780.
    Title: Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT).
    Form Numbers: eXtensible markup language (XML) format, ADS-B SAPT
flight information entry form, and ADS-B authorization request at
https://sapt.faa.gov.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background:
    Under 14 CFR 91.103, pilots must use all available information in
planning their flight. SAPT is a web-based tool to assist aircraft
operators in achieving compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR
91.103, 91.225. and 91.227, and/or AC 90-100A Change 2, Paragraph 10a.
(5). To ensure that they will meet the performance requirements for the
duration of the flight, pilots may use the FAA-provided pre-flight
Service Availability Prediction Tool (SAPT) to determine predicted
navigation or surveillance availability before a flight. The SAPT has
three main components: the Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring
(RAIM) SAPT, the ADS-B SAPT, and the ADS-B Deviation Authorization Pre-
Flight Tool (ADAPT). The SAPT models the GPS constellation in order to
assess the predicted accuracy and integrity of GPS position information
used in navigation and surveillance for a few GPS receiver Technical
Standard Orders (TSOs).
    The RAIM SAPT is intended mainly for pilots, dispatchers, and
commercial operators using TSO-C129 equipment to check their predicted
navigation horizontal protection level (HPL). It incorporates TSO-C129
GPS RAIM predictions to check the availability of GPS RAIM satisfying
the RNAV requirements of AC 90-100A Change 2, Paragraph 10(5)).
    The ADS-B SAPT is provided to help operators comply with 14 CFR
91.225 and 91.227 by predicting whether operators will meet regulatory
requirements, and to advise holders of FAA Exemption 12555 whether
back-up surveillance will be available for any waypoints where
installed aircraft avionics are not predicted to meet the requirements
of 14 CFR 91.227(c)(1)(i) and (iii).
    Information collected via ADS-B SAPT is comparable to that provided
by pilots when they file flight plans, with some additional information
about aircraft position source TSO and related capabilities. The ADS-B
SAPT prediction is based on the ability of the aircraft's position
source (i.e., GPS receiver) to meet performance requirements specified
in FAA TSOs C129, C129a, C145c/C146c, and C196, as well as the
predicted status of the GPS constellation.
    The ADS-B SAPT predicts whether GPS position information will be
sufficient throughout the flight to meet the performance requirements
of 14 CFR 91.227(c)(1)(i) and (iii). If a waypoint is in rule airspace
and the aircraft's position source is not predicted to meet the
performance requirements of 14 CFR 91.227, the ADS-B SAPT checks for
the availability of back-up surveillance at that waypoint.
    Operators of aircraft equipped with TSO-C129 (SA-On) GPS receivers
must run a pre-flight prediction. The operator may use their own
prediction tool. Although Exemption 12555 does not require operators
with SA-On to use the ADS-B SAPT for pre-flight availability
prediction, if the operator does use their

own tool and receives an indication that performance will fall below
rule requirements, the operator cannot obtain back-up surveillance
information from that tool and must either replan the flight or use
ADS-B SAPT to determine whether back-up surveillance is available along
the planned route of flight per Exemption 12555.
    ADAPT is mandatory for operators desiring to apply for an ATC
authorization, per 14 CFR 91.225(g), to fly in ADS-B Out rule airspace
using aircraft with avionics that do not meet the ADS-B equipage
requirements. ADAPT allows operators to create an air traffic
authorization request to operate in ADS-B Out rule airspace when either
(1) the aircraft is without ADS-B equipment; (2) that equipment is
inoperative; or (3) their avionics are not expected to meet the ADS-B
performance requirements as identified in 14 CFR 91.227(c)(1)(i) and
(iii). Operators who wish to submit an ADAPT request must complete the
ADS-B SAPT analysis using information entered into the flight
information entry form before filing the ADAPT request.
    Information Collected: Information collected by SAPT is comparable
to that provided in FAA flight plans, with some additional information
about the position source. The ADS-B SAPT flight information entry form
requires the aircraft call-sign but does not collect other personal
identification information about the operator. ADAPT does collect
personal information to include name, telephone number, email address.
The information is necessary to enable the FAA ATC Authorization
Authority (AAA) to reply with either an approval, rejection, or pending
decision. It also collects additional information about the flight,
including US Civil Aircraft Registry Number or ICAO Address.
    Respondents: These prediction tools are primarily intended for
pilots and dispatchers; and for anyone who is planning a flight which
passes through U.S. sovereign airspace, using an aircraft whose GPS
receiver(s) is/are not guaranteed to meet certain performance
requirements or whose aircraft is not equipped to meet the requirements
of 14 CFR 91.225.
    Frequency: As part of the flight planning process, as required by
FAA policy. For some users, this could be every flight. For others it
will depend on the specific conditions and performance requirements.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response:
    RAIM SAPT and ADS-B SAPT can be automated as part of the dispatch
process by operators or flight service providers, thus eliminating
manual data-entry.
    RAIM SAPT--Insignificant, as all transactions are automated in
flight planning systems.
