SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

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

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1.  Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register  date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to
ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA
has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the
pesticide, rotenone under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Rotenone is a
restricted use pesticide applied directly to water - primarily by
Federal and state agencies - to eliminate invasive or unwanted fish
species. EPA has determined that the data base to support
reregistration is adequate and that products containing rotenone are
eligible for reregistration, provided the risks are mitigated either in
the manner described in the RED. Upon submission of any required
product specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary
changes to the registration and labeling (either to address concerns
identified in the RED or as a result of product specific data), EPA
will make a final reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) for
products containing rotenone.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in

conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation
process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use,
complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each
pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, rotenone was
reviewed through the modified 4-Phase process. Through this process,
EPA worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the
regulatory decisions for rotenone.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally
mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public. The Agency is issuing the rotenone
RED for public comment. This comment period is intended to provide an
additional opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating
any necessary amendments to the RED. All comments should be submitted
using the methods in ADDRESSES, and must be received by EPA on or
before the closing date. These comments will become part of the Agency
Docket for rotenone. Comments received after the close of the comment
period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these
late comments.
    The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the
Docket and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the
document, EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the Federal
Register. In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the
rotenone RED will be implemented as it is now presented.

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

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended directs that, after submission
of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, the Administrator
shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient
are eligible for reregistration, before calling in product specific
data on individual end-use products and either reregistering products
or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2011-0038]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a
document dated May 3, 2011, Penn Valley Railroad LLC, has petitioned
the Federal Railroad

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR Parts
215 and 223. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2011-0038.
    The Penn Valley Railroad LLC seeks a waiver of compliance from
certain provisions of the Railroad Freight Car Safety Standards, 49 CFR
215.303, which requires stenciling; and Safety Glazing Standards, 49
CFR part 223, which requires certified glazing in all windows.
    This request is for a caboose, Car Number PRR 478044 (built in
April, 1951). The Penn Valley Railroad LLC states that this caboose is
operated in irregular seasonal events for community-sponsored excursion
service on the lines owned by the SEDA COG joint Rail Authority.
Specifically, this caboose will be operated on the following SEDA COG
Joint Rail Authority lines of NBER (64 miles), LVRR (34 miles), NSHR
(38 miles), and SVRR (25 miles).
    The Penn Valley Railroad LLC states that this caboose is completely
restored with a sound car body, including ABDX airbrakes and roller
bearings. The car had a thorough mechanical inspection and COT&S
performed by the Strasburg Railroad in November, 2010. The car will not
be interchanged with any other railroad, and will be operated at a
speed limit of 30 miles per hour.
    This caboose is painted and stenciled to reflect its historic
appearance. Stenciling the car to meet Section 215.303 requirements
would detract from the historical and educational impression this car
is intended to preserve.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at http://www.regulations.gov and in person at the Department of Transportation's
Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE., W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is open from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal Holidays.
    Communications received by August 15, 2011 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written
communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the
name of the individual submitting the comment (or signing the comment,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH

Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention
of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The
OSH Act also requires OSHA to obtain such information with minimum
burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and
to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of
efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    OSHA conducts peer reviews of a draft product for quality by
specialists in the field who were not involved in producing the draft.
The selection of participants in a peer review is based on expertise,
with due consideration of independence. The Office of Management and
Budget published the Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review
on December 15, 2004. The Bulletin states ``. . . the agency must
address reviewers' potential conflicts of interest (including those
stemming from ties to regulated businesses and other stakeholders) and
independence from the agency.'' The Bulletin requires agencies to adopt
or adapt the committee selection policies employed by the National
Academy of Sciences (NAS) when selecting peer reviewers who are not
Government employees. To fulfill this requirement, OSHA has developed a
Conflict of Interest (COI) and Disclosure Form, based on NAS' Conflict
of Interest Disclosure form. This form will be used to determine
whether or not a conflict exists for a potential peer review panel
member.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    There are no changes in burden hours from the previous Information
Collection Request for obtaining the necessary background information
and disclosure of conflict of interest information to ensure that
invited experts are not compromised. There are no costs as discussed
under Item 13 of the Supporting Statement.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: OSHA's Conflict of Interest (COI) and Disclosure Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0255.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Number of Respondents: 36.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 36.
    Average Time per Response: OSHA estimates it will take one-half
hour (0.5) to complete the COI Short form, and one (1) hour to complete
the COI Long form.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 27.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The information garnered from a signed Specific Release
form is used by FAA Special Agents to obtain information related to a
specific investigation. That information is then provided to the FAA
decision making authority to make FAA employment and/or pilot
certification/revocation determinations.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by June 4, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy DePaepe at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0740.
    Title: Specific Release Form.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 1600-81.
    Type of Review: Renewal of a current information collection.
    Background: Investigations are conducted under authority derived
from Title 49, United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections 106, 40113, 40114,
46101, and 46104, the Aviation Drug Trafficking Control Act of 1984,
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986, and the FAA Drug Enforcement
Assistance Act of 1988, which is part of Public Law 100-690, also known
as the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. The public respondents Pilots, or
FAA job applicants from whom additional information is needed to
complete a thorough investigation. The information garnered from a
signed Specific Release form is used by FAA Special Agents to obtain
information related to a specific investigation. That

information is then provided to the FAA decision making authority to
make FAA employment and/or pilot certification/revocation
determinations.
    Respondents: Approximately 270 subjects of investigation.
    Frequency: Information is collected as needed.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 23 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA at the following address: Ms. Kathy
