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

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled. FIFRA further provides that,
before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of
any such request in the Federal Register.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,

EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section
6(f)(1)(C) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day
comment period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination
of any minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The registrants in Table 2 of Unit II, have not requested that EPA
waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 180-
day comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation
should submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the products have been subject to a
previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and
all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are
controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation are
granted, the Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the
Federal Register.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations, listed in Table 1 of Unit II, EPA proposes to
include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing
stocks of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II.

For: 264-328, 432-885, 432-1213, and 432-1226

    For 264-328, 432-885, 432-1213, and 432-1226, listed in Table 1 of
Unit II, the registrants have requested 18-months after cancellation to
sell existing stocks. Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from
selling or distributing the pesticides identified in Table 1 of Unit
II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o)
or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than registrants will generally be allowed to sell,
distribute, or use existing stocks until such stocks are exhausted,
provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the
terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the
canceled products.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: April 17, 2023.

Airworthiness Directives; Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE)
Models TAE 125-01 and TAE 125-02-99 Reciprocating Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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:

    In-flight shutdown incidents have been reported on airplanes
equipped with TAE 125 engines. Preliminary investigations showed
that it was mainly the result of nonconforming disc springs
(improper heat treatment) used in a certain production batch of the
clutch.

We are issuing this AD to prevent engine in-flight shutdown leading to
loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 9, 2010.
    We must receive comments on this AD by September 24, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH Service Bulletin (SB) No.
TM TAE 125-0021, dated June 9, 2010, and SB No. TM TAE 125-1011 P1,
dated June 9, 2010, listed in the AD as of September 9, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD 2010-0111-E, dated June 10, 2010 (corrected June 11, 2010) (referred
to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    In-flight shutdown incidents have been reported on airplanes
equipped with TAE 125 engines. Preliminary investigations showed
that it was mainly the result of nonconforming disc springs
(improper heat treatment) used in a certain production batch of the
clutch.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    TAE has issued SB No. TM TAE 125-0021, dated June 9, 2010, and SB
No. TM TAE 125-1011 P1, dated June 9, 2010. The actions described in
these SBs are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Germany, they have notified us of the
unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information
referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design. This AD requires replacement of affected clutch assemblies.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we have found it necessary to
use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the AD is clear
for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these changes, we do
not intend to differ substantively from the information provided in the
MCAI and related service information.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of
the need for operators to comply with some of the AD actions before
further flight. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity
for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that
good cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30
days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2010-0683; Directorate
Identifier 2010-NE-25-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those 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
with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the
Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any of our dockets,
including, if provided, the name of the individual who sent the comment
(or signed the comment on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement
in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78).

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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 AD:
    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); and
    3. 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2010-18-02 Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH: Amendment 39-16415.;
Docket No. FAA-2010-0683; Directorate Identifier 2010-NE-25-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective
September 9, 2010.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH (TAE):
    (1) TAE 125-01 reciprocating engines (commercial designation
Centurion 1.7), all serial numbers, if a clutch assembly part number
(P/N) 02-7210-11001R13 is installed; and
    (2) TAE 125-02-99 reciprocating engines (commercial designation
Centurion 2.0), all serial numbers, if a clutch assembly P/N 05-
7211-K006001 or P/N 05-7211-K006002 is installed.
    (3) These engines are installed on, but not limited to, Cessna
172 and (Reims-built) F172 series (European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) STC No. EASA.A.S.01527); Piper PA-28 series (EASA STC No.

A.S.01380); and Diamond Aircraft Industries Models DA40 and DA42
airplanes.

Reason

    (d) In-flight shutdown incidents have been reported on airplanes
equipped with TAE 125 engines. Preliminary investigations showed
that it was mainly the result of nonconforming disc springs
(improper heat treatment) used in a certain production batch of the
clutch.

    We are issuing this AD to prevent engine in-flight shutdown
leading to loss of control of the airplane.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Before next flight after the effective date of this AD,
identify the serial number (S/N) of each P/N 02-7210-11001R13, P/N
05-7211-K006001, and P/N 05-7211-K006002 clutch assembly installed
on the airplane. If the S/N matches one of those listed in Thielert
Aircraft Engines GmbH Service Bulletin (SB) No. TM TAE 125-0021,
dated June 9, 2010, or SB No. TM TAE 125-1011 P1, dated June 9,
2010, as applicable to engine model, replace the clutch assembly
within the following compliance times:
    (i) For engines with affected clutch assemblies that have
accumulated 100 flight hours or more on the effective date of this
AD, replace the clutch assembly before further flight.
    (ii) For engines with affected clutch assemblies that have
accumulated less than 100 flight hours on the effective date of this
AD, replace the clutch assembly before accumulating 100 flight
hours.

Clutch Assembly Prohibition

    (2) After the effective date of this AD:
    (i) Do not install an engine having a clutch assembly that is
listed by S/N in Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH Service Bulletin
(SB) No. TM TAE 125-0021, dated June 9, 2010, or SB No. TM TAE 125-
1011 P1, dated June 9, 2010; and
    (ii) Do not install any clutch assembly listed by S/N in
Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH Service Bulletin (SB) No. TM TAE 125-
0021, dated June 9, 2010, or SB No. TM TAE 125-1011 P1, dated June
9, 2010, into any engine.

FAA AD Differences

    (f) This AD differs from the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information (MCAI) and/or service information as follows:
    (1) EASA AD 2010-0111-E, dated June 10, 2010 (corrected June 11,
2010) has separate compliance times for engines installed on twin-
engine airplanes. This AD does not.
    (2) EASA AD 2010-0111-E, dated June 10, 2010 (corrected June 11,
2010) allows a single ferry flight with conditions. This AD does
not.

Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (g) The Manager, Engine Certification Office, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Following the recommendations of its Endocrine Disruptor Screening and Testing Advisory Committee ( EDSTAC), EPA determined that there was scientific basis for including, as part of the program, the androgen and thyroid hormone systems, in addition to the estrogen hormone system. EPA also adopted EDSTAC's recommendation that the Program include evaluations of potential effects in wildlife. For pesticide chemicals, EPA will use FIFRA and, to the extent that effects in wildlife may help determine whether a substance may have an effects in humans, FFDCA authority to require the wildlife evaluations. As the science develops and resources allow, screening of additional hormone systems may be added to the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program ( EDSP). When the appropriate screening and/ or testing protocols being considered under the Agency's EDSP have been developed, zinc pyrithione may be subjected to additional screening and/ or testing to better characterize effects related to endocrine disruption.

Due to the high toxicity of the parent compound to aquatic organisms, coupled with the parent compound's tendency to break down fairly rapidly into various degradates in aquatic systems, aquatic organism acute toxicity tests with two major degradates of zinc pyrithione were submitted. These data indicate that both pyridine sulfonic acid and pyrithione sulfonic acid are only slightly toxic to practically non toxic to freshwater and marine/ estuarine fish and invertebrates and aquatic plants; these degradates are not expected to cause adverse acute or chronic effects to terrestrial or aquatic organisms. Toxicity data for the degradates of zinc pyrithione are presented on Table 15. 46 Table 15 Ecotoxicity Data for zinc pyrithione degradates Species LC50 ( ppb ai) ( 95% c. i.)

The Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to ensure that their actions are not likely to jeopardize listed species or adversely modify designated critical habitat. To analyze the potential of registered pesticide uses to affect any particular species, EPA puts basic toxicity and exposure data developed for risk assessments into context for individual listed species and their locations by evaluating important ecological parameters, pesticide use information, the geographic relationship between specific pesticide uses and species locations, and biological requirements and behavioral aspects of the particular species. A determination that there is a likelihood of potential impact to a listed species may result in limitations on use of the pesticide, other measures to mitigate any potential impact, or consultations with the Fish and Wildlife Service and/ or the National Marine Fisheries Service as necessary.

The Agency is currently engaged in a Proactive Conservation Review with USFWS and the National Marine Fisheries Service under section 7( a)( 1) of the Endangered Species Act. The objective of this review is to clarify and develop consistent processes for endangered species risk assessments and consultations. Subsequent to the completion of this process, the Agency will reassess the potential effects of zinc pyrithione use to federally listed threatened and endangered species. Until such time as this analysis is completed, any overall environmental effects mitigation strategy developed by the Agency and/ or any County Specific Pamphlets described in Section IV which address zinc pyrithione or other boat antifoulant compounds will serve as interim protection measures to reduce the likelihood that endangered and threatened species may be exposed to zinc pyrithione at levels of concern.

10.0 DEFICIENCIES/ DATA NEEDS There is concern for the neurotoxic effects of zinc pyrithione that have not been completely characterized in the available toxicology data. Acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies ( 870.6200) are thus required as confirmatory data for this chemical in order to characterize this type of toxicity. The developmental neurotoxicity study is in " reserve" pending the results of the 48 acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies.

In addition, five ecotoxicity studies were recently submitted to the Agency. These studies include: two terrestrial plant toxicity studies ( OPPTS guidelines 850.4225 and 850.4250), a study on the influence on growth and growth rate of the marine diatom, Skeletonema coatatum ( Guideline 123 2), and two sediment toxicity tests ( for freshwater amphipod, Hyalella azteca, Guideline OPPTS 850.1735, and marine amphipod, Leptocheirus plumulosu, Guideline OPPTS 850.1735).

A worker study is currently under development to support the conditional registration of the antifoulant paint use. This study is an assessment of the potential inhalation and dermal exposure to zinc pyrithione during outdoor painting of ship hulls with intersmooth 360 or 460 Ecoloflex SPC Antifouling ( Guidelines 875.1100 and 875.1300).

Confirmatory worker exposure data are necessary, due to the significant limitations of the existing exposure data used in this assessment. The Agency is requesting six worker exposure studies that evaluate both dermal ( Guideline 875.1100) and inhalation ( Guideline 875.1300) exposure for the following scenarios: ( 1) open pour of liquids; ( 2) metering pump for liquids ( closed loading system); ( 3) open pour of powder; ( 4) automatic dispensing systems for powders; ( 5) painting with a brush/ roller/ airless sprayer; and ( 6) aerosol can spray.

[Docket No. FAA-2016-7270; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-116-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 737-700 and -700C series airplanes.
This proposed AD was prompted by a report that for airplanes with
blended winglets, the nose-up pitch trim limit and associated warning
for the horizontal stabilizer control system will allow take-off with
incorrect trim settings. This proposed AD would require, depending on
airplane configuration, replacing the pitch trim light plates on the
flight deck control stand, relocating the position warning horn
switches of the horizontal stabilizer, revising the software, removing
the placard, and doing related investigative and corrective actions if
necessary. We are proposing this AD to prevent take-off with incorrect
settings of the horizontal stabilizer pitch trim system. Settings
outside of the appropriate pitch trim limits could result in loss of
controllability of the airplane during take-off.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 12, 2016.

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

Discussion

    We have received a report that for airplanes with blended winglets,
the nose-up pitch trim limit and associated warning for the horizontal
stabilizer control system will allow takeoff with incorrect trim
settings. The trim control system was recently analyzed for potential
nose-up mis-trim occurrences during take-off for airplanes with blended
winglets. Results of the analysis indicated that Model 737-700
airplanes with blended winglets are not compliant with the
certification rules for specific conditions. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in the loss of controllability of the airplane
during take-off.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Aviation Partners Boeing Service Bulletin AP737-27-002,
Revision 2, dated March 1, 2016, and Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
27A1306, dated September 10, 2015. The service information describes
procedures for replacing the pitch trim light plates on the flight deck
control stand, relocating the position warning horn switches of the
horizontal stabilizer, revising the software, and doing related
investigative and corrective actions.
    The related investigative actions include verifying that the
stabilizer ``B'' measurement is at a certain dimension, performing a
light plate function test, performing a stabilizer functional test,
loading and verifying model/engine database software, performing a
flight management computer configuration check, and verifying all
settings.
    The corrective actions include adjusting the stabilizer, adjusting
the light plate, replacing the light plate, rigging and adjusting the
horizontal stabilizer trim system, and repairing the light plate
switch.
    We reviewed Aviation Partners Service Bulletin AP737-34-005, dated
July 17, 2015. The service information describes procedures for
revising the software and removing the placard.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

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 require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the Service
Information.'' For information on the procedures and compliance times,
see Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-27A1306, dated September 10,
2015, at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2016-7270.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    The service information specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this proposed AD
would require repairing those conditions in one of the following ways:
     In accordance with a method that we approve; or
     Using data that meet the certification basis of the
airplane, and that have been approved by the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) whom we have
authorized to make those findings.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 569 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
             Action                     Labor cost          Parts cost     Cost per product        operators

                                  $85 per hour = $340.
Replacement....................  Up to 3 work-hours x             $1,973  Up to $2,228......  Up to $1,267,732
                                  $85 per hour = $255.
Software installation..........  2 work-hours x $85 per                0  170...............  96,730
                                  hour = $170.

Placard Removal (2 airplanes)..  1 work-hour x $85 per                 0  85................  170
                                  hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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

ACTION REQUESTED 	 The following scoping document contains the product chemistry assessment for the biopesticides ferric phosphate, monopotassium phosphate and dipotassium phosphate in support of the development of the Registration Review Work Plan.

Executive Summary

The Agency has made the determination that for the purposes of registration review, there is adequate product chemistry information available on ferric phosphate, monopotassium phosphate and dipotassium phosphate. While the information on file is adequate for registration review, for future pesticide applications, more data and/or information for certain data requirements for these chemicals should be submitted. The data requirements that should be further addressed are discussed below for each chemical.

Introduction

Ferric Phosphate

As a pesticide, ferric phosphate is used as a molluscicide (specifically, slugs and snails) on and around a variety of ornamental and food crops. The active ingredient was first registered in 1997. There are currently two products registered containing the active ingredient, all of which are end-use products (EPs). One product contains ferric phosphate as the only active ingredient and the other product contains the biopesticide in conjunction with a conventional chemical (spinosad). The chemical is not approved for use as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations at this time.

Monopotassium Phosphate

As a pesticide, monopotassium phosphate is used as a fungicide on a variety of ornamental and food crops. The active ingredient was first registered in 1994. There are currently four products registered containing the active ingredient, all of which are EPs. Two of the products contain the active ingredient in conjunction with a conventional chemical (sulfur), one product contains the active ingredient in conjunction with another biopesticide (mono- and di- potassium salts of phosphorous acid) and the last product contains monopotassium phosphate as the only active ingredient. The chemical is approved for use as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations for both nonfood and food (40 CFR § 180.910 and 180.920) uses.

Dipotassium Phosphate

As a pesticide, dipotassium phosphate is used as a fungicide on a variety of ornamental and food crops. The active ingredient was first registered in 2002. There is currently one product registered containing the active ingredient; an EP which contains the chemical in conjunction with another biopesticide (mono- and di- potassium salts of phosphorous acid). The chemical is approved for use as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations for both nonfood and food (40 CFR § 180.920) uses.

Product Chemistry Summary

Ferric Phosphate

Concerning the product chemistry of ferric phosphate, most biochemical pesticide data requirements for the technical grade active ingredient have been satisfied and are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2. While the information on file is adequate for the purposes of registration review, for future pesticide applications, data on the partition coefficient of the chemical must be submitted according to OCSPP Guidelines 830.7550-7570 and more specific data on the stability of the chemical should be submitted according to OCSPP Guideline 830.6313.
