DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Use of Wireless Mobile Data Devices as Transponders for the
Commercial Motor Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN)
Electronic Screening Systems

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice; announcement of policy.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that Commercial Mobile Radio Services (CMRS)
network devices can be used as transponders for the purposes of CVISN
electronic screening truck inspection and weigh station bypass systems.
CMRS network devices such as smartphones, tablets, fleet management
systems, global positioning system (GPS) navigational units, and
onboard telematics devices (referred to collectively as ``wireless
mobile data devices'') have the capability of transmitting and
receiving the same information between the driver and the inspection
site as the dedicated short-range communication (DSRC)-enabled
transponders operating at the 915 MHz frequency currently used to
fulfill the CVISN electronic screening requirement for core compliance.
This policy does not affect the applicability or enforcement of FMCSA's
regulations prohibiting texting and the use of hand-held wireless
mobile phones by commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information concerning this notice
or this activity, contact Mr. Jose M. Rodriguez, CVISN Technical
Program Manager, Technology Division of FMCSA,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The purpose of the CVISN program is to advance technological
capability and promote the deployment of Intelligent Transportation
System applications for commercial vehicle operations, including
commercial vehicle, commercial driver, and carrier specific information
systems and networks. CVISN is divided into core and expanded
deployment. Before a State is eligible for expanded deployment funding,
it must complete core deployment. In order to complete core deployment,
States must install an electronic system to screen transponder-equipped
commercial vehicles at a minimum of one fixed or mobile inspection site
in the State and replicate this screening at other sites. The objective
of electronic screening is to identify enrolled vehicles; to screen
vehicles based on safety history, weight, and credential status (e.g.,
registration, fuel tax payment, operating authority); and to allow
enrolled vehicles that meet the State's criteria to bypass inspection
sites. By allowing compliant vehicles to bypass weigh stations and
inspection sites without stopping, FMCSA and its State partners are
able to increase the effectiveness of enforcement efforts by targeting
high risk motor carriers. Currently, weigh stations and inspection
sites electronically screen DSRC-enabled transponder-equipped CMVs to
determine if an inspection is necessary or if the driver should bypass
the weigh station or inspection site.
    In the past, States have installed only DSRC electronic screening
transponder systems to satisfy the CVISN core electronic screening
requirement because that was the prevalent technology at the time the
CVISN program was authorized. States or private companies providing the
DSRC screening services were required to install DSRC infrastructure to
participate in the information sharing between roadside activities and
the vehicles required to be in compliance with Core CVISN deployment.
States may continue to deploy DSRC electronic screening transponder
systems operating at the 915 MHz frequency to fulfill the CVISN
electronic screening requirement for core compliance.

Use of CMRS To Comply With CVISN

    Since the CVISN program began, there has been a significant
expansion of CMRS networks in North America.

States may now use available CMRS networks to screen trucks equipped
with wireless mobile data devices used as transponders. CMRS network
devices such as smartphones, tablets, fleet management systems, GPS
navigational units, and onboard telematics devices are capable of
transmitting and receiving multiple forms of wireless mobile data and
thus, are considered transponders for the purposes of the CVISN
program.
    CMRS transponders use commercially available mobile radio
transmission frequencies to access cellular data networks and exchange
carrier and vehicle credentials utilizing web-based technologies.
Triggered via GPS signaling, CMRS transponders communicate through the
internet to electronic screening systems that issue traditional red
light/green light responses for in-cab displays mounted on the
dashboard. Because CMRS transponders are hardware neutral, drivers can
install a variety of cellular-enabled GPS-connected devices (such as
smartphones, tablets, fleet management systems, GPS navigational units,
and onboard telematics devices) in vehicles.
    This policy announcement does not affect the applicability or
enforcement of FMCSA's regulations under 49 CFR part 392 prohibiting
texting and the use of hand-held wireless mobile phones by commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

Benefits

    Use of wireless mobile data devices as transponders with CMRS
provides benefits to FMCSA and key stakeholders including State CMV
enforcement agencies, industry, and participating motor carriers:
    1. All of the remaining 11 States that have not yet achieved CVISN
core deployment status because they have not met the CVISN electronic
screening requirement will have another option to achieve CVISN core
deployment status. This makes States eligible for the expanded CVISN
funding deployment milestone and improves data sharing among States and
FMCSA.
    2. The electronic screening system enables State enforcement
agencies to identify CMV drivers and check their safety status at
highway speeds and enables FMCSA and State partners to more efficiently
utilize resources to target high risk carriers.
    3. The capability to check the safety status of drivers and
vehicles at highway speeds will decrease congestion and vehicle
emissions at inspection sites. Motor carriers will avoid fuel costs
associated with idling at weigh stations and inspection sites.
    4. State agencies can add additional electronic screening sites,
both fixed and mobile, with no infrastructure-related costs. CMRS-
enabled systems give States significant flexibility in activating and
de-activating geofences (the virtual perimeter for the real-world
geographic area in which truck station bypass systems electronically
screen CMVs).
    5. For participating motor carriers, available CMRS-based
electronic screening systems are technology-platform neutral and could
be operated, on wireless mobile data devices, as well as onboard fleet
management systems. The use of the system is consistent with FMCSA's
prohibition against the use of hand-held mobile phones and texting and
complements existing DSRC-based screening systems.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP18-525-000]

Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review of the Gulf South
Pipeline Company, LP--Willis Lateral Project

    On July 13, 2018, Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP (Gulf South)
filed an application in Docket No. CP18-525-000 requesting a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural
gas pipeline facilities. The proposed project is known as the Willis
Lateral Project (Project), and would provide about 200 million cubic
feet of natural gas per day to Entergy Texas, Inc.'s Montgomery County
Power Station Project near Willis, Texas.
    On July 26, 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA)

for the Project. This instant notice identifies the FERC staff's
planned schedule for the completion of the EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA--March 4, 2019
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--June 2, 2019

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    The Project would consist of the following facilities entirely
within the state of Texas:
     Construction of approximately 19 miles of 24-inch-diameter
pipeline in Montgomery and San Jacinto Counties;
     addition of a new 15,876 horsepower turbine engine to the
existing Goodrich Compressor Station and construction of a new Meter
and Regulator (M&R) station at the compressor station in Polk County;
     construction of the Index 129 tie-in and pig \1\ launcher
facility in San Jacinto County;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     construction of the new Willis M&R station at the terminus
of the Project (including a pig receiver, filter separators with a
liquid storage tank, and ancillary equipment) in Montgomery County; and
     construction of a mainline valve facility in Montgomery
County.

Background

    On August 31, 2018, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Willis Lateral
Project, And Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI). The
NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local
government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties; and
local libraries and newspapers.
    In response to the Notice of Application, the Commission received
comments from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department regarding
appropriate best management practices for construction and restoration,
special status species, surface water, and impacts on vegetation and
wildlife. All substantive comments will be addressed in the EA. No
comments were received in response to the NOI.

Dear Sir or Madam:
This Order requires you and other registrants of pesticide products containing the pesticide active ingredient (PAI) named above to submit certain data or otherwise respond as noted herein to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, the Agency). This chemical is identified as a pesticide chemical. Pursuant to sections 408(p)(3) and (5) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which mandates that all pesticide chemicals be tested under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP), these data are necessary, to maintain the continued registration of your product(s) containing the listed pesticide active ingredient(s). [21 U.S.C. 346a(p)(3), (5)].
If you do not respond to this Order, or if you fail to otherwise comply with its requirements, then the registration of product(s) subject to this Order will be subject to suspension, pursuant to FFDCA section 408(p)(5)(C)(i) and section 3(c)(2)(B)(iv) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
Introduction
This Order is issued pursuant to sections 408(p)(3) and (5) of FFDCA [21 U.S.C. 346a(p)(3) and (5)] and section 3(c)(2)(B) of FIFRA [7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(2)(B)]. FFDCA section 201(q)(1) defines "pesticide chemical" as "any substance that is a pesticide within the meaning of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, including all active and inert ingredients of such pesticide" [21 U.S.C. 231(q)(1)].
To facilitate the formation of consortia to develop the data required by this Order, and to the extent that the information is not protected as confidential business information (CBI), we have provided each Order recipient with a list of the other recipients of an Order for this chemical. (See Attachment A). EPA intends to announce the issuance of this Order and the availability of a list of all Order recipients for this chemical in the Federal Register. The list of Order recipients for this chemical will be publicly available on the Agency's Web site, along with the status of the Orders, including recipients' responses. EPA intends to update this information with subsequent publication(s) and posting(s) as appropriate. You are encouraged to join a consortium and you may check on the status of responses from the other Order recipients for this chemical on the Web site.
The information collection requirements described in this document have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. The Information Collection Request (ICR) document prepared by EPA is identified under EPA ICR No. 2279.01, and OMB Control No: 2070-####. The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between 204 and 8,148 hours, depending on the respondent category and activities, with an estimated cost between $17,783 and $557,218.
Section I.  The Authority for this Order
FFDCA section 408(p)(1) requires EPA "to develop a screening program, using appropriate validated test systems and other scientifically relevant information to determine whether certain substances may have an effect in humans that is similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen, or such other effects as [EPA] may designate" [21 U.S.C. 346a(p)]. Section 408(p)(3) specifically requires that EPA "shall provide for the testing of all pesticide chemicals." [21 U.S.C. 346a(p)(3)].
Section 201 of the FFDCA defines "pesticide chemical" as "any substance that is a pesticide within the meaning of [FIFRA], including all active and inert ingredients of such pesticide." [21 U.S.C. 231(q)(1).]
Section 408(p)(5) of the FFDCA provides that the Administrator shall issue an Order to a registrant of a substance for which testing is required under this subsection, or to a person who manufactures or imports a substance for which testing is required under this subsection, to conduct testing in accordance with the screening program, and submit information obtained from the testing to the Administrator, within a reasonable time period that the Administrator determines is sufficient for the generation of the information.
Section 3(c)(2)(B) of the FIFRA provides that registrants must submit additional data, upon notification that the Administrator has determined that additional data are required to maintain an existing pesticide registration. [7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(2)(B).] In light of the directive in section 408(p)(3) that EPA is to provide for the endocrine screening of all pesticide chemicals, EPA considers that such data have been statutorily determined to be necessary to maintain an existing pesticide registration.
Section II.  Why You are Receiving this Order
You are receiving this Order because you have previously received and fulfilled a Tier 1 screening Order and for which, based on those data, the Agency determined Tier 2 testing is required. As such, pursuant to section 408(p)(3) of the FFDCA, you are subject to this Order.
Section III.  Data Required by this Order
This Order identifies the Tier 2 testing required to be conducted for the chemical named on the first page of this Order. The purpose of the EDSP is to provide information that will allow the Agency to evaluate the risks associated with the use of a chemical and take appropriate steps to mitigate any risks of concern. The necessary information includes identifying any adverse effects that might result from the interaction of a substance with the endocrine system and establishing a dose-response curve. Specifically, the purpose of Tier 2 testing, which consists of a group of individual in vivo tests designed to include males and females with an intact hypothalamic- pituitary-gonadal axis, multiple pathways of exposure and life-stages, and various taxa, to further identify and characterize chemical-induced interactions with estrogen, androgen and thyroid hormones for risk assessment. Tier 2 testing is designed to identify any adverse endocrine-related effects caused by the substance, and establish a quantitative relationship between the dose and that endocrine effect for risk assessment to inform regulatory decisions. The fact that a substance is identified for Tier 2 testing does not mean that when the substance is used, it will cause adverse effects in humans or ecological systems.
III.A.  Data Required  -  The Tier 2 Tests
The following is a list of Tier 2 tests of which some or all maybe required for submission to the Agency in response to this Order (see page 1of this Order for the specific tests you are required to conduct):
1. OCSPP Guideline 890.2100, Japanese Quail Two-Generation Toxicity Test
This test guideline is designed to provide concentration-response information concerning the adverse effects of a test substance delivered via dietary exposures on avian reproductive and thyroid function, including gonadal function, mating behavior, secondary sex characteristics, reproductive output, fertility, hatchability, biochemical responses, histopathology of several tissues, and growth and development relevant to all life stages of the first and second generations.
2. OCSPP Guideline 890.2200, Larval Amphibian Growth and Development Test
This test guideline is designed to provide concentration-response information concerning the adverse effects from aqueous exposures of a test substance in amphibians on larval development and metamorphosis, and juvenile growth and development, including thyroid, gonad and liver.
3. OCSPP Guideline 890.2300, Medaka Extended One-Generation Reproduction Test
This test guideline is designed to provide concentration-response information concerning the adverse effects from aqueous exposures of a test substance in fish on the integrity and performance of male and female reproductive systems, including fecundity, fertility, secondary sex characteristics, biochemical liver responses, histopathology of several tissues and growth and development that are relevant to all life stages, and subsequent generations.
4. OCSPP Guideline 870.3800, Reproduction and Fertility Effects
This test guideline is designed to provide dose-response information to assess the potential for adverse effects from oral exposure of a test substance in rodents on the integrity and performance of male and female reproductive systems, including gonadal function, the estrous cycle, mating behavior, conception, gestation, parturition, lactation, weaning, and growth and development that are relevant to adults and offspring of the first and second generations in utero and post-partum.
III.B.  Conducting the Tests  -  Tier 2 Testing Protocols
Pursuant to section 408(p)(1) of the FFDCA, testing conducted for the EDSP must be based on "validated test systems and other scientifically relevant information." [21 U.S.C. 346a (p)(1).] "Other scientifically relevant information" (OSRI) is information demonstrating whether substances has/does not have an effect on the functioning of the endocrine system. Other scientifically relevant information may either be functionally equivalent to information obtained e.g., for pesticide registration,  -- or may include data that provide information on a potential consequence or effect that could be due to effects on the estrogen, androgen or thyroid systems. See also the discussion in Section IV. of this Order.
The Tier 2 tests identified in Section III.A. of this Order must be conducted using the test guidelines that have been validated and made available for use by the Order recipients that are completing the testing to generate new data to respond to this Order.  All of the applicable testing guidelines have been validated and are available on the Agency's Web site at:  http://www.epa.gov/ocspp/pubs/frs/home/guidelin.htm, or, http://www.epa.gov/ocspp/pubs/frs/home/testmeth.htm.
If you choose to generate the data to respond to this Order, you may not deviate from an approved testing protocol unless you first consult with the Agency and obtain Agency approval of any deviation. If you wish to use a protocol that differs from those attached to this Order, you must submit a detailed description of the proposed protocol (including a precise description of any deviations from the protocol identified in this Order) and your reason(s) for wishing to use it. Because section 408(p)(1) of the FFDCA requires that the screening be conducted with validated tests, in Order for EPA to approve the use of your proposed protocol, you must demonstrate that the protocol has been scientifically validated or the deviation is such that the final study is nonetheless properly considered to have been scientifically validated. If the Agency rejects your protocol you will be notified in writing. Moreover, you should be aware that rejection of a proposed protocol will not be a basis for extending the deadline for submission of data.
If you choose to cite or submit existing data, including other OSRI, you must indicate whether the information provided follows an accepted scientific methodology or protocol, including but not limited to those presented in EPA's harmonized test guideline compendium, and provide a cogent and complete rationale for why you believe the information is sufficient to satisfy part or all of this Order. EPA's decisions about whether the information satisfies part or all of the Tier 2 Order will be based on the weight of evidence from all relevant information available to the Agency. See the instructions for submitting your response, which appear in Section IV. of this Order.
You must also adhere to the good laboratory practice (GLP) standards described in 40 CFR part 160 and 40 CFR part 792, which require you to follow certain practices when conducting studies, and when you submit data to EPA you must provide a GLP compliance statement indicating a) that the data were generated using GLPs; b) describe in detail "all differences" between the GLPs and the practices used; or c) confirm that you did not sponsor or conduct the study and do not therefore know whether the study was conducted in accordance with the GLPs.
III.C.  Generating the Data  -  Applicable Timeframes
You are required to submit the data or otherwise satisfy the data requirements specified in this Order and submit the data to EPA on the dates indicated on first page of this Order. The Agency set this due date after considering the amount of time one might reasonably expect is needed to complete each test, including the planning activities before beginning the test, actual performance of the test, analyzing test results, and completing the final study report for that test (see Table 1). EPA also included several months for overall planning, and several months after the last test is completed to allow ample time for the Order recipients to prepare the final report for submission to EPA.

IV.A.  Schedule for Responding to the Order
Your schedule for responding may vary based on the response options discussed in more detail in the next Section of this Order. Please note that in calculating the due date for the Initial Response, the Agency has included an additional 10 calendar days to account for processing the Order should electronic (email) delivery and confirmation of receipt of the Order fail, such that, the Agency must rely on paper issuance and delivery by the post office. Your basic schedule is summarized on the first page of this Order and is based on the timeframes identified in Table 2, below:
Table 2  -  Basis for Establishing the Due Dates in this Order
Timeframes for Due Dates
What is Due
Within 90 calendar days of the Order's issuance (plus 10 calendar days for processing)
Individual recipient's initial response
Within 150 calendar days of the Order's issuance (plus 10 calendar days for processing)
Consortia documentation and consortia's Initial Response
Within 12 months from Order's issuance
A progress report describing the status of an Order Recipient's compliance with the Order
Within 24 to 48 months from Order's issuance date depending on the studies required (see page 1of this Order for the specific tests you are required to conduct)
Final study report and submission of the data to EPA
In general, the Agency will not consider any requests for extending the deadlines for the Initial Response or progress report. However, the Agency will consider extending the final report due date when circumstances warrant it. If you cannot submit your final study report to the Agency in the time frame required by this Order, and intend to seek additional time, you must submit a time extension request to the Agency before the applicable deadline using the procedures described in Section V. of this Order. Your request must occur before the applicable deadline and include: (1) a detailed description of the expected difficulty; and (2) a proposed submission schedule including alternative dates for meeting the requirements of this Order on a step-by-step basis. In your description, you must explain any technical or laboratory difficulties and provide related documentation from the laboratory performing the testing. While EPA is considering your request, the original deadline will remain in effect. The Agency will respond to your request in writing. If EPA does not grant your request, the original deadline stands. Generally, extensions should be requested only in cases of extraordinary testing difficulties beyond the expectation or control of the registrant. Extensions will not be considered if the request is not made in a timely fashion or in accordance with the instructions provided in this Order. Under no circumstances will a time extension request be considered on or after the study due date. The status of all Orders including time extensions are available on our website at www.epa.gov/endo.
IV.B.  Options for Responding to the Order
You have several options for responding to this Order. To report your commitment to act in response to this Order, you must submit an Initial Response to EPA within 90 days of the issuance of this Order. See Section V. of this Order for submission procedures. You have several potential response actions from which to choose, each response option involves specific procedures that you must follow if you choose that response option:
Option 1:  Generate Data
If you choose to individually generate new data for each test specified in this Order, you must comply with the procedures prescribed in this Order. All data generated and submitted must comply with the Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) set out in FIFRA in 40 CFR part 160. The tests must be conducted according to guidelines identified in Section III.B. of this Order. In submitting the data, you must follow the new procedures described in Section V. of this Order.
Option 2:  Submit or Cite Existing Data
If you choose to submit or cite an existing study in response to this Order (including data previously submitted to the Agency and/or OSRI), your Initial Response must include either the study data or a reference to the data for each test that is required, along with a rationale that explains how the study you cited or submitted satisfies part or all of this Order. Existing studies are studies that predate issuance of this Order. In Order to be accepted in satisfaction of the requirements imposed in this Order, the Agency expects that any such hazard-related data would be of high quality and achieves the objective of Tier 2 testing to provide reasonable assurance that a chemical does or does not result in adverse endocrine related effects. EPA's decisions about whether the data cited or submitted satisfies part or all of the Tier 2 Test Order will be based on an evaluation of all relevant information available to the Agency.
The submitted or cited study must have been conducted in accordance with accepted scientific methodology or protocol, including but not limited to those presented in EPA's harmonized test guideline compendium. Deviations from the protocols validated for the Tier 2 tests, must be identified, along with an explanation for the deviations, including an explanation as to why, notwithstanding the deviations, the protocol used should still be considered as providing an accepted scientific methodology or protocol, and any other information you think the Agency should consider in deciding whether to accept the data in satisfaction of this Order.
If EPA has previously reviewed a protocol for a study you are submitting or citing, you must identify any action taken by the Agency on the protocol and must indicate the manner in which all Agency comments, concerns or issues were addressed in the final protocol and study.
If you choose to cite a study that has been previously submitted to EPA, that study must have been previously classified by EPA as acceptable (i.e., the study was not rejected by the Agency for any reason related to completeness or quality) or it must be a study which has not yet been reviewed by the Agency. With respect to any studies for which you wish to select this option you must provide EPA with a copy of the title page along with the identification number of the study you are citing (Master Record Identification [MRID] number), and, if the study has been reviewed by the Agency, you must provide the Agency's classification of the study. Do not resubmit a study that has previously been submitted to EPA for another purpose.
EPA will review any existing study submitted or cited in response to this Order to determine whether the study is acceptable and whether the study satisfies the requirements of this Order. The Agency will notify you in writing of its determination. If the Agency determines that the study is acceptable, the EDSP Tier 2 Testing, Initial Response Form for Individual Order Recipients is the only response you are required to complete to satisfy this Order and EPA will notify you in writing that the Order is satisfied. If, however, EPA determines that the study is not acceptable, you must still satisfy the requirements of this Order. You should be aware that if the Agency determines that the study is not acceptable, the Agency will require you to comply with this Order, normally without an extension of the required due date for submission of the data. The Agency may determine at any time that a study is not valid and needs to be repeated.
If you are citing a study of which you are not the original data submitter, you may need to submit an offer to pay compensation to the original data submitter. Consequently, you should simultaneously include an offer to pay [in accordance with 40 CFR 152.93] [which includes an offer to resolve any dispute over the recipients' shares of the test costs by submitting the dispute to a neutral third party with authority to bind the parties (e.g., through binding arbitration or through a state or federal court action)], unless you have received confirmation from EPA that no such compensation is necessary.
Option 3:  Form a Consortium/Task Force or Offer to Join a Consortium/Task Force
If you choose to form a task force or consortium to share in the cost of producing the required data, all participants of the task force or consortium must submit their own EDSP Tier 2 Testing, Initial Response Form for Individual Order Recipients providing the name of the party who will be submitting the data on your behalf.
The designated lead for the task force or consortium must complete the EDSP Tier 2 Testing, Initial Response Form for Consortia/Task Forces (Attachment C) to provide the primary contact for the task force or consortium, the list of participants, and an indication of the task force or consortium's planned response for each test, along with documentation of its formation (such as a copy of the joint agreement or a written statement by all the parties that an agreement exists). The joint agreement to produce the data need not specify all of the terms of the final arrangement between the parties or the mechanism to resolve the terms. The designated lead for the task force or consortium must follow the instructions in Section V.D. of this Order to submit your responses and accompanying information to EPA by the due date for the consortia response that is indicated on the first page of this Order.
Once the task force or consortium submits the data and EPA has completed its initial review to accept the data in satisfaction of this Order, EPA will provide written notification to the contact for the task force or consortium that this Order has been satisfied, which in turn will close out the Orders for each of the participants in the consortium/task force.
If you are unable to join a task force or consortium, you must provide EPA with documentary evidence that you made a reasonable offer to join or share in the testing costs. Such evidence may be: (1) your letter offering to join in an agreement, or (2) your letter that contains a legally binding offer to join in an agreement and provide a reasonable share of the test costs, and that includes a reasonable process for resolving any disputes of the appropriate share of the test costs.
To the extent permitted by confidentiality requirements, the Agency has provided a list of the other pesticide registrants that have received an EDSP Order for this chemical. (Attachment A). This list is intended to help Order recipients identify other companies with whom they could form agreements to develop data jointly, or otherwise collaborate on a response to satisfy the requirements in this Order. The consequences of failing to comply with the Order are set forth in Section VIII of this Order.
Option 4:  Claim Not Subject to the Order
You may claim that you are not subject to this Order if you do not manufacture or import the chemical and/or you are not a pesticide registrant of the chemical identified on the first page of this Order or you believe the Order was otherwise sent to you in error. An explanation of the basis for the claim, along with appropriate information to substantiate that claim, must accompany your initial response so that EPA can evaluate the claim. The Agency intends to make a determination and respond to your request in writing within 90 days of receipt. If EPA cannot verify your claim, the original requirements and deadlines in this Order remain. If your claim is verified, EPA will consider the Order satisfied and will close out the Order.
Option 5:  Voluntarily Cancel the Pesticide Registration(s)
In place of submitting the data required in this Order, you may request the voluntary cancellation of your product(s) containing the pesticide active ingredient(s) that is the subject of this Order. If you wish to voluntarily cancel your product, you must submit a request for voluntary cancellation under FIFRA section 6(f). You must submit your request within 90 days of the issuance of this Order using the Agency's existing procedures for a voluntary cancellation (see 40 CFR 152.99).
In response to your request to voluntary cancel your product(s) registrations, EPA will initiate the standard process for voluntary cancellation, which includes publication of a Federal Register notice announcing the proposed voluntary cancellation, as required by FIFRA section 6(f). The Agency has standard provisions for sale or use of existing stocks of a pesticide, but you may propose an alternative. If you propose alternative provisions for sale or use of existing stocks, EPA will review your proposal and respond in writing, prior to publication of the FIFRA section 6(f) notice.
If you choose this option and cancel your registrations, the EDSP Tier 2 Testing, Initial Response Form for Individual Order Recipients is the only response you are required to complete to satisfy this Order. When your product(s) is cancelled, the Agency will consider the Order satisfied and will close out the Order.
Option 6:  Reformulate the Product(s) to Exclude this Chemical from the Formulation
In place of submitting the data required in this Order, you may submit an application to amend the formulation of your registered product by removing as an ingredient of your product the chemical that is the subject of this Order. Submitting such an application will initiate the existing procedures for reformulation. If you choose this option, the EDSP Tier 2 Testing, Initial Response Form for Individual Order Recipients is the only response required to satisfy the Order as long as you complete the procedures and reformulate your product(s). When your product's formulation has been changed, the Agency will consider the Order satisfied and will close out the Order.
Option 7:  Claim a Formulators' Exemption
If you are a pesticide product registrant who purchases the chemical from another Order recipient for the chemical identified on the first page of this Order, and that Order recipient has agreed to generate the data, you may be eligible for a formulator's exemption. EPA will confirm claims of eligibility. A response asserting the formulator's exemption would no longer be considered an appropriate response to an Order if the supplier of the chemical fails to comply with the Order (i.e., it fails to submit the data either individually or jointly with other recipients, or it fails to comply with the terms of a compensation agreement or the binding decision of a neutral third party regarding the terms of compensation). If EPA confirms your eligibility for this option, the EDSP Tier 2 Testing, Initial Response Form for Individual Order Recipients is the only response you are required to complete to satisfy this Order. If, however, EPA determines that you are not eligible, you must comply with the Order and the original deadline remains.
The Agency intends to make a determination on your claim and respond to you in writing within 90 days of receipt.  If EPA cannot verify your claim, the original requirements and deadlines in this Order remain.  If your claim is verified, EPA will consider your response to be satisfaction of the Order and will close out this Order.
IV.C.  Procedures for Challenging this Order
If you wish to challenge the validity of any of the provisions of this Order, including the requirement to conduct any test or use the specific test protocols required by this Order, you must submit to the Agency a detailed explanation of the basis for your challenge that provides sufficient information for the Agency to evaluate the issue. The Agency intends to respond to your request in writing within 90 days of receipt. While EPA is considering your submission, the original deadline remains. If EPA does not grant your request, the original deadline remains. If your claim is verified, EPA will consider your response to be satisfaction of the Order and will close out this Order.
IV.D.  Procedures for Cost Sharing
Cost sharing is the process by which two or more recipients of an EDSP Order contribute to the generation of data (or the compensation for existing data). Contributions may be in cash or in kind and apportionment of costs is subject to negotiation between the participants. EPA encourages all recipients of an Order for a particular substance to jointly submit data and share data generation costs. All other parties who are also subject to this Order are listed in Enclosure A, unless that information is protected as CBI, and will be made publicly available on the Agency's Web site.
EPA has not established specific coordination procedures by which you must collectively generate data. You may therefore determine the procedures that are best suited to your individual circumstances, and the most acceptable approach to identifying and sharing test costs.
At any time, if you are aware of another registrant of the chemical listed on the first page of this Order who is not listed on Attachment A or is new to the pesticide market, and you provide EPA with this information, EPA will send that registrant an Order for this chemical within 90 days of your notification.
IV.E.  Procedures for Data Protection
If (a) a tolerance/tolerance exemption has been established for your chemical, (b) an application for a tolerance/tolerance exemption is pending; or (c) you have partnered with pesticide registrants (either technical or end-use), or otherwise joined a consortium with a pesticide registrant, the EPA considers such data to be subject to the requirements of FIFRA section 10. All other confidential business information submitted in response to a 408(p) Order (i.e., data not in support of a registration or tolerance/tolerance exemption) is subject to the Trade Secrets Act [18 U.S.C. 1905]
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires agencies to make information available to the public upon request, except for information that is "specifically made confidential by other statutes" or data that are "trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and is privileged or confidential" [5 U.S.C. 552]. Any information that you wish to have EPA protect as CBI should be clearly identified as such. Note that substantive criteria must be met to support a claim for CBI, as specified in 40 CFR 2.208.
Section V.  Procedures for Submitting Data to the Agency
You must submit all correspondence related to this Order to EPA (including your initial response, the initial response from the consortium, progress reports, the final report, etc.) in accordance with the instructions provided on our website:  www.epa.gov/endo.
V.A.  Format for Submissions
EPA has developed standard data evaluation formats, referred to as Study Profile Templates (SPTs), and Data Entry Spreadsheet Templates (DESTs)  as well as Standard Evaluation Procedures (SEPs) to assist registrants with their submissions. These templates describe the layout and scope of information that should be contained within a study profile and can serve as guides for preparation of study documents. Use of the templates improves the likelihood of a successful submission, since the information necessary for an efficient Agency review is outlined and the submissions of these templates should be in a format that can be manipulated (i.e., Microsoft Word and Excel, or similar formats). Additional details about these templates are available at:  http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/regulating/studyprofile_templates/.
In addition, Pesticide Registration (PR) Notice 2011-3, entitled, Standard Format for Data Submitted Under FIFRA and Certain Provisions of FFDCA, describes EPA's preferred method for organizing and formatting submittals of data supporting a pesticide registration.
V.B.  Transmittal Documents
In Order for EPA to effectively track the compliance of each Order recipient, each submission in satisfaction of an Order issued under FFDCA section 408(p) must be accompanied by a transmittal document that includes the following information:
   * Identity of the submitter.
   * The date on which the submission package was prepared for transmittal to EPA.
   * The Order number identified on the first page 1 of this Order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    EPA granted full approval of the Pennsylvania Title V Operating
Permits Program on July 30, 1996. See 61 FR 39597. Under 40 CFR 70.9(a)
and (b), an approved state title V operating permits program must
require that the owners or operators of part 70 sources pay annual
fees, or the equivalent over some other period, that are sufficient to
cover the permit program costs and ensure that any fee required under
40 CFR 70.9 is used solely for permit program costs. The fee schedule
must result in the collection and retention of revenues sufficient to
cover the permit program costs.
    Pennsylvania's initial title V permit emission fee, established in
1994 at 25 PA Code 127.705, was $37 per ton of regulated pollutant per
title V facility. Pennsylvania's fee has been increased each year since
1994 by the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
for the most recent calendar year exceeded the CPI for the previous
calendar year. Under that regulatory framework, the annual emission fee
for emissions occurring in calendar year 2012 was $57.50 per ton of
regulated pollutant for emissions of up to 4,000 tons of each regulated
pollutant. The fee structure has not been revised since 1994.
    Pennsylvania has determined that title V annual emission fee
revenues collected are no longer sufficient to cover title V program
costs. Installation of air pollution control technology over the past
two decades on major stationary sources, the retirement or curtailment
of operations by major sources, and the conversion at many major
facilities from burning coal or oil to burning natural gas have
resulted in decreased emission of regulated pollutants that are subject
to annual emission fees, and revenues collected have been decreasing as
a result. The decline in interest rates paid on savings account
balances used by the Commonwealth to manage permit fees collected also
has affected the funds available to Pennsylvania, as the investments
earn less interest in the current economy compared to the early years
of the title V program. Pursuant to 40 CFR 70.4(i)(2), when EPA
receives a title V program revision, EPA will publish its proposed
approval or disapproval in the Federal Register and provide opportunity
for comment.

II. Summary of Program Revision

    In the February 11, 2014 program revision, Pennsylvania has
included revised 25 PA Code 127.705 which Pennsylvania has amended to
increase

Pennsylvania's annual emission fees. Fees are increased to $85 per ton
of emissions for emissions from title V sources of up to 4,000 tons of
each regulated pollutant. The provisions for increasing the annual
emissions fees in response to increases in the CPI at 25 PA Code
127.705(d) remain unchanged. The revised fees are designed to cover all
reasonable costs required to develop and administer the title V program
as required by 40 CFR 70.9(a) and (b). These costs include those for
activities such as reviewing and processing plan approvals and
operating permits, conducting inspections, responding to complaints and
pursuing enforcement actions, emissions and ambient air monitoring,
preparing applicable regulations and guidance, modeling, analyses,
demonstrations, emission inventories, and tracking emissions.
    Without this fee increase, Pennsylvania anticipates funds will not
be sufficient to sustain the title V permitting program beginning
fiscal years 2015-2016. If funds become insufficient to sustain the
title V permitting program in Pennsylvania, EPA may determine that
Pennsylvania has not taken ``significant action to assure adequate
administration and enforcement of the Program'' and take subsequent
required action under 40 CFR 70.10(b) and(c) as well as impose
mandatory and discretionary sanctions under the CAA.

III. EPA Analysis of Program Revision

    The February 11, 2014 Title V Operating Permit Program revision
consists of amendments to Pennsylvania's rules which establish annual
emission fees under title V of the CAA. This rulemaking proposes
approval of the increase to the annual title V fees paid by the owner
or operator of a title V facility from $57.50 per ton of regulated air
pollutant to $85 per ton because the revision meets requirements in 40
CFR 70.9 for sufficient title V fees to cover permit program costs. The
emission fees apply to emissions up to 4,000 tons of any regulated
pollutant. The proposed revision does not establish a fee structure for
carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases (GHGs). EPA's rules do not
mandate revisions to state title V programs to account for GHG
emissions.

IV. Proposed Action

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 70.4(i)(2), EPA is proposing to approve the
Pennsylvania Title V Operating Program revision submitted on February
11, 2014 to increase the annual title V fees paid by the owners or
operators of all title V facilities throughout Pennsylvania, including
Allegheny and Philadelphia Counties, from $57.50 per ton of regulated
air pollutant to $85 per ton. The revision meets requirements in 40 CFR
70.9. EPA is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this
document. These comments will be considered before taking final action.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This proposed action merely proposes to approve state law as
meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed
action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule related to Pennsylvania title V
fees does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order
13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the program is not
approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes
that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments
or preempt tribal law.

Brunswick, GA; Proposed Revocation of Class E Airspace, Brunswick, GA,
and Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace, Brunswick, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to establish Class E surface airspace for
St Simons Island Airport, St Simons, GA, and for Brunswick Golden Isles
Airport, Brunswick, GA, and amend Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface in Brunswick, GA, to accommodate
airspace reconfiguration due to the airport's names and cities
requiring updates. Also, this action proposes to remove Class E surface
airspace listed as Brunswick Glynco Jetport, GA, and Brunswick Malcolm-
McKinnon Airport, GA in the FAA's 7400.11C. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at these airports. This action also would update the
geographic coordinates of St Simons Island Airport, (formally Brunswick
Malcolm-McKinnon Airport). In addition, this action proposes to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in
the Brunswick area by updating the name and geographic coordinates of
St Simons Island Airport and Brunswick Golden Isles Airport.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed

in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA proposes an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class E surface airspace at
St Simons Island Airport, St Simons, GA, and Brunswick Golden Isle
Airport, Brunswick, GA. Also, this action proposes to amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface at
Brunswick, GA, by updating the airport names to St Simons Island
Airport (previously Brunswick/Malcolm-McKinnon Airport), and Brunswick
Golden Isles Airport (previously Glynco Jetport Airport). Also, the
geographic coordinates of St Simons Island Airport would be adjusted to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
