Background

    1. The Adviser is the investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser
is a Delaware limited liability company that is registered as an
investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The
Adviser managed assets of approximately $8 billion as of September 30,
2015.
    2. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust and is registered with
the Commission under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment
company with five series. Each series of the Trust has a different
investment objective and different investment policies. The Fund is one
such series.
    3. The Fund is a non-diversified open-end investment company. Its
investment objective is to seek long-term total return, which may
include investment returns from a combination of sources including
capital appreciation, fees and interest income.
    4. The Fund has been subject to a significant level of redemption
requests by the Fund's investors over the past six months. For example,
the Fund has experienced a total of $1.1 billion in estimated net
outflows for the year to date through December 9, 2015, which was more
than 145% of its remaining net asset value at that date. In November
2015, the Fund experienced a total of $317 million in estimated net
redemptions, and the Fund's Institutional Class net asset value per
share fell from $7.81 to $7.08 and its Retail Class net asset value per
share fell from $7.82 to $7.09.
    5. The ongoing reduction in liquidity in the Fund's portfolio
securities is related to a number of factors, including an imbalance
between selling interest and buying interest. The Fund increased its
cash position to over $200 million by early December 2015 in
anticipation of tax selling and other redemptions.
    6. During this period, Fund management also kept the Board of
Trustees of the Trust (the ``Board'') informed and reevaluated
contingency plans. On December 9, 2015, after considering the
environment the Fund was in and the likelihood that incremental sales
of portfolio securities to satisfy additional redemptions would have to
be made at prices that would unfairly disadvantage all remaining
shareholders, the Board determined that the fairest action on behalf of
all shareholders would be to adopt a plan of liquidation. The Board
determined to implement this plan by placing the remaining noncash
assets in a liquidating trust for the benefit of all Fund shareholders
and distributing available cash. Relief from the Commission in
connection with the plan's implementation was not sought by the Fund
and the Adviser.
    7. On December 9, 2015, the Board adopted a plan of liquidation for
the Fund (the ``Plan of Liquidation''), pursuant to which the Board
declared two distributions, one of the remaining net cash and one of
the beneficial interests in a liquidating trust (``Liquidating
Trust''). These distributions were scheduled to be paid on December 16,
2015. Interests in the Liquidating Trust would not trade and would, in
general, be transferable only by operation of law. The Adviser would
manage the Liquidating Trust's assets without charge and there would be
periodic distributions from the Liquidating Trust as income is received
and assets are sold at fair prices. All redemption requests as of
December 9, 2015, were met by the Fund and the sales of the shares of
the Fund were suspended as of December 10, 2015.
    8. Upon announcement of the Plan of Liquidation, the Commission
staff expressed concerns during discussions with the Fund and the
Adviser. In

addition, the Fund received numerous inquiries from shareholders and
intermediaries through which many shareholders hold their shares in the
Fund. The Fund and the Adviser reviewed the pros and cons of
alternatives with the Board at meetings held on December 12, 2015 and
December 13, 2015, at which the Board authorized moving forward with an
application for an order to suspend redemptions. On December 14, 2015,
the Board met again and approved the cancellation and rescission of the
distribution of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust and the
reconveyance of the assets held in the Liquidating Trust to the Fund
together with the assumption by the Fund of the liabilities previously
assumed by the Liquidating Trust, conditioned upon receipt of the
requested relief. The Board did not rescind the cash distribution,
which will proceed on December 16, 2015, and also retained the Plan of
Liquidation, pursuant to which the Fund will liquidate.
    9. Applicants state that approximately 65% of the value of the
Fund's shares is held by shareholders in the Fund's Institutional
Class, and the rest is held by investors in its Retail Class. If the
relief is not granted, and the Fund is unable to suspend redemptions,
the institutional investors would likely be best positioned to take
advantage of any redemption opportunity, to the detriment of those
investors--most likely, retail investors--who remain in the Fund. These
remaining investors would suffer a rapidly declining net asset value
and an even further diminished liquidity of the Fund's securities
portfolio. The relief would help avoid such an outcome.
    10. Applicants also state that the Fund will not be engaged and
does not propose to engage, in any business activities other than those
necessary for the winding-up of its affairs. Applicants further state
that relief permitting the Fund to suspend redemptions in connection
with its liquidation would permit the Fund to liquidate its assets in
an orderly manner and prevent the Fund from being forced to sell assets
at unreasonably low prices to meet redemptions.

Applicants' Legal Analysis

    1. Section 22(e)(1) of the Act provides that a registered
investment company may not suspend the right of redemption or postpone
the date of payment or satisfaction upon redemption of any redeemable
security in accordance with its terms for more than seven days after
the tender of such security to the company or its designated agent
except for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange
(``NYSE'') is closed other than customary week-end and holiday
closings, or during which trading on the NYSE is restricted.
    2. Section 22(e)(3) of the Act provides that redemptions may be
suspended by a registered investment company for such other periods as
the Commission may by order permit for the protection of security
holders of the registered investment company.
    3. Applicants submit that granting the requested relief would be
for the protection of the shareholders of the Fund, as provided in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Act. Applicants assert that, in requesting an
order by the Commission, the Board's goal is to ensure that the Fund's
shareholders will be treated appropriately in view of the otherwise
detrimental effect on the Fund of the ongoing reduction in the
liquidity of the Fund's portfolio securities, the very recent extreme
difficulty the Fund has encountered in selling portfolio securities at
prices the Adviser deemed to be fair and the ongoing redemptions that
the Fund expected. Applicants further state that the requested relief
is intended to permit an orderly liquidation of the portfolio
securities at what Applicants consider to be fair values and ensure
that all of the shareholders of the Fund are protected in the process
by allowing the realization of fair value for these investments.

Applicants' Conditions

    Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief will
be subject to the following conditions:
    (1) Pending liquidating distributions, the Fund will invest
proceeds of cash dispositions of portfolio securities solely in U.S.
government securities, cash equivalents, securities eligible for
purchase by a registered money market fund with legal maturities not in
excess of 90 days and, if determined to be necessary to protect the
value of a portfolio position in a rights offering or other dilutive
transaction, additional securities of the affected issuer.
    (2) The Fund will make liquidating cash distributions pro rata at
least quarterly in an amount not less than all cash proceeds from
dispositions of portfolio securities during such quarter not required
to provide for liabilities, reserves, and for so long as the Board
determines that maintaining regulated investment company status under
subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, is
important for the protection of shareholders, the maintenance of
diversification required for such tax status.
    (3) The Fund and the Adviser will make and keep true, accurate and
current all appropriate records, including but not limited to those
surrounding the events leading to the requested relief, the plan for
the orderly liquidation of Fund assets, the sale of Fund portfolio
securities, the distribution of Fund assets, and communications with
shareholders (including any complaints from shareholders and responses
thereto).
    (4) The Fund and the Adviser will promptly make available to staff
of the Commission all files, books, records and personnel as requested,
relating to the Fund and the Liquidating Trust.
    (5) The Fund and the Adviser will provide periodic reporting to
Commission staff regarding the status of the liquidation and
distributions.
    (6) Neither the Adviser nor any of its affiliates will receive any
fee for managing the Fund.
    (7) The Fund is in liquidation and will not be engaged and does not
propose to engage in any business activities other than those necessary
for the protection of its assets, the protection of shareholders and
the winding-up of its affairs.
    (8) The Adviser will appropriately convey accurate and timely
information to shareholders of the Fund with regard to the status of
the Fund and its liquidation on the Adviser's Web site, including
without limitation information concerning the dates and amounts of
distributions, press releases, and periodic reports, and will maintain
a toll-free number to respond to shareholder inquiries.
    (9) The Fund and the Adviser shall consult with Commission staff
prior to making any material amendments to the Plan of Liquidation.
    (10) The Fund will comply with the requirements of Section 30 of
the Act and the rules thereunder and will file a report containing a
liquidation audit, i.e., audited financial statements dated as of or
near the final distribution date, promptly following the Fund's final
liquidating distribution.
    (11) The Fund and the Adviser will comply with all provisions of
the Federal securities laws.
    (12) The relief granted pursuant to the application shall be
without prejudice to, and shall not limit the Commission's rights in
any manner with respect to, any Commission investigation of, or legal
proceedings involving or against the Applicants.

Commission Finding

    Based on the representations and conditions in the application, the
Commission permits the temporary suspension of the right of redemption
for the protection of the Fund's security holders. Under the
circumstances described in the application, which require immediate
action to protect the Fund's security holders, the Commission concludes
that it is not practicable to give notice or an opportunity to request
a hearing before issuing the order.
    IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 22(e)(3) of the Act, that the
requested relief from Section 22(e) of the Act is granted with respect
to the Fund until it has liquidated, or until the Commission rescinds
the order granted herein. This order shall be in effect as of December
16, 2015, with suspension of redemption requests as requested by the
Applicants to be effective as of December 10, 2015.

    By the Commission.

Secretary.

BILLING CODE 8011-01-P


Reference Chemicals Used in EDSP Tier 1 Prevalidation Studies Prepared for the Endocrine Methods Validation Subcommittee August 19,2003 NOTE: The chemicals contained in this document were selected as reference chemicals for prevalidation studies in the EDSP assay validation program because they produced a well documented positive response in one or more Tier 1 assays by an identified mode of action. Some chemicals may act by more than one mode of action. It should be noted that this is not intended to be a list of endocrine disruptors, and it should not be concluded a chemical on this list is necessarily an endocrine disruptor since that designation also requires an association with an adverse effect identified in a Tier 2 study. Although some chemicals on this list have been studied extensively, others have not been studied in tier 2 assays.

For the most part, test results from the literature have not been included in these tables as such studies raise questions about comparability of protocols and data. Thus, the entries in the tables represent studies conducted in the EDSP validation program, EPA ORD laboratories, and the OECD assay validation program. The exception to this are the studies shown for the adult or intact male assay, which was developed by the US chemical industry and tested in various industry laboratories.

The chemicals used in prevalidation appear in the following tables grouped into five modes of action: estrogen receptor binding, androgen receptor binding and 5" reductase inhibition, inhibition of steroidogenesis, inhibition of aromatase, and neuroendocrine. Some chemicals appear more than once because they act by more than one mode of action. Questions for the EDMVS Regarding Reference Chemicals 1. Does the EDMVS agree with the EPA's decision to limit consideration of data to the studies conducted in the EDSP validation program, EPA ORD laboratories, the OECD assay validation program, and for the adult male, the US chemical industry laboratories?

2. The ensure that the assays selected to comprise the tier 1 battery cover the known modes of action in a comprehensive, complementary and efficient fashion, EPA has grouped the chemicals used in prevalidation into five modes of action. How many chemicals should be selected to compare assays across modalities?

3. What additional chemicals should be chosen for specific assays during validation to facilitate comparisons?

44 CFR Part 67

 [Docket No. FEMA-B-7774]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1 percent annual-
chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in

order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 28, 2008.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-7774, to
William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, Engineering Management Branch,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151 or.(e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    Administrative Procedure Act Statement. This matter is not a
rulemaking governed by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553. FEMA publishes flood elevation determinations for notice and
comment; however, they are governed by the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and do not fall under the APA.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 67

    Administrative practice and procedure, Flood insurance, Reporting
and recordkeeping requirements.

    Accordingly, 44 CFR part 67 is proposed to be amended as follows:

November 9, 2010.
    Take notice that on October 29, 2010, Trunkline Gas Company, LLC
(Trunkline), P.O. Box 4967, Houston, Texas 77210-4967, filed an
application in Docket No. CP11-19-000 pursuant to section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA), to isolate its South Texas System (System), make
minor modifications to convert the System to bi-directional flow,
provide for liquids-rich gas transportation and abandon certain
facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open for public inspection.
    Any questions regarding the applications should be directed to
Stephen T. Veatch, Sr., Director, Certificates and Tariffs, at
Trunkline Gas Company, LLC, 544 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77056.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and State agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party

to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment
date stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on
the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. A party must submit 7 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''

[Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-ORD-2013-0232; FRL-9941-74-ORD]

Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen--Health
Criteria

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the
availability of a final document titled, ``Integrated Science
Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen--Health Criteria'' (EPA/600/R-15/
068). The document was prepared by the National Center for
Environmental Assessment National Center for Environmental Assessment
(NCEA) within the EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) as
part of the review of the primary (health-based) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) for nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The
Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), in conjunction with additional
technical and policy assessments, provides the scientific basis for
decisions by the EPA on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the
appropriateness of possible alternative standards. The EPA is
developing a separate ISA and conducting a separate review for the
secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for NO2, in conjunction with
a review of the secondary NAAQS for sulfur dioxide.

DATES: The document will be available on or around January 28, 2016.

ADDRESSES: The ``Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen--
Health Criteria'' will be available primarily via the Internet on the
EPA's Integrated Science Assessment for Nitrogen Dioxide (Health
Criteria) home page at http://www.epa.gov/isa/integrated-science-assessment-isa-nitrogen-dioxide-health-criteria or the public docket at
http://www.regulations.gov, Docket ID: EPA-HQ-ORD-2013-0232. A limited

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Information About the Document

    Section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to
identify certain pollutants that, among other things, ``cause or
contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to
endanger public health or welfare'' and to issue air quality criteria
for them. Further, section 108(a)(2) of the Act provides that these air
quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the latest scientific
knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identifiable
effects on public health or welfare which may be expected from the
presence of [the] pollutant in the ambient air . . . .'' Under section
109 of the Act, the EPA is then to establish National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which the EPA has
issued criteria. Section 109(d) of the Act subsequently requires
periodic review and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality
criteria to reflect advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of
the pollutant on public health or welfare. The EPA is also required to
review and, if appropriate, revise the NAAQS, based on the revised air
quality criteria (for more information on the NAAQS review process, see
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/review.html).
    Oxides of nitrogen are one of six criteria pollutants for which EPA
has established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific basis
for these standards by preparing an ISA (formerly called an Air Quality
Criteria Document). The ISA, in conjunction with additional technical
and policy assessments, provides the scientific basis for decisions by
EPA on the adequacy of the current NAAQS and the appropriateness of
possible alternative standards. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC), an independent science advisory committee with
review and advisory functions mandated by section 109(d)(2) of the
Clean Air Act, is charged with, among other things, independent
scientific review of the EPA's air quality criteria.
    On February 10, 2012 (77 FR 7149), EPA formally initiated its
current review of the air quality criteria for the health effects of
oxides of nitrogen and the primary (health-based) nitrogen dioxide
(NO2) NAAQS, requesting the submission of recent scientific
information on specified topics. EPA held a workshop on February 29 to
March 1, 2012, to gather input from scientific experts, both internal
and external to EPA, as well as from the public regarding key science
and policy issues that will frame the review of the health effects of
the oxides of nitrogen and the primary NO2 NAAQS (77 FR
7149).
    The discussions at this workshop guided the development of the
EPA's ``Draft Plan for Development of the Integrated Science Assessment
for Nitrogen of Oxides--Health Criteria,'' a draft ``Integrated Review
Plan for the Primary NAAQS for Nitrogen Dioxide'' (EPA-452/R-14-003),
and initial draft materials for the development of the ISA. The draft
plan for the development of the ISA was made available for public
comment on May 3, 2013 (78 FR 26026), and was discussed by the CASAC
via a publicly accessible teleconference consultation on June 5, 2013
(78 FR 27234). On June 11, 2013, EPA held a workshop to discuss, with
invited scientific experts, initial draft materials prepared for the
development of the ISA (78 FR 27374). The draft Integrated Review Plan
(IRP) was made available in February 2014 for comment by the public and
review by the CASAC (79 FR 7184) and was reviewed by the CASAC at a
public meeting on March 12, 2014 (79 FR 8701). The CASAC panel provided
a consensus letter for their review of the draft IRP to the
Administrator of the EPA on June 10, 2014 (http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/
sabproduct.nsf/264cb1227d55e02c85257402007446a4/
89989229944F36B085257CF300692E2A/$File/EPA-CASAC-14-001+unsigned.pdf).
The final IRP was released in June 2014 (79 FR 36801), and is available
at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/nox/s_nox_2012_pd.html.
    Comments on the draft plan for the ISA and discussion at the June
11, 2013, workshop guided development of the ``First External Review
Draft Integrated Science Assessment for Oxides of Nitrogen--Health
Criteria,'' which was released on November 22, 2013 (78 FR 70040), and
is available at: http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/isa/recordisplay.cfm?deid=259167. The CASAC review panel for the oxides of
nitrogen met at a public meeting on March 12-13, 2014, to review the
draft ISA along with the draft IRP (79 FR 8701). Subsequently, on June
10, 2014, the CASAC panel provided a consensus letter for their review
to the Administrator of the EPA (http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/
sabproduct.nsf/264cb1227d55e02c85257402007446a4/
15E4619D3CD3409A85257CF30069387D/$File/EPA-CASAC-14-002+unsigned.pdf).
The second external review draft ISA was developed with consideration
of comments received from the CASAC and the public on the first
external review draft ISA and evaluated scientific studies published
through August 2014. The CASAC panel met at a public meeting on June 2-
3, 2015, to review the second draft ISA (79 FR 22993). Subsequently, on
September 9, 2015, the CASAC provided a consensus letter for their
review to the Administrator of the EPA (http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/
sabproduct.nsf/6612DAF24438687B85257EBB0070369C/$File/EPA-CASAC-15-
001+unsigned.pdf). The letters from the CASAC, as well as public
comments received on the ISA drafts, can be found in Docket ID No. EPA-
HQ-ORD-2013-0232.
    EPA has considered comments by the CASAC panel and by the public in
preparing this final ISA.

§ 172.201 Preparation and retention of shipping papers.
  (a) Contents. When a description of hazardous material is required to be included on a shipping paper, that description must conform to the following requirements:
   (1) When a hazardous material and a material not subject to the requirements of this subchapter are described on the same shipping paper, the hazardous material description entries required by § 172.202 and those additional entries that may be required by § 172.203:
     (i) Must be entered first, or
     (ii) Must be entered in a color that clearly contrasts with any description on the shipping paper of a material not subject to the requirements of this subchapter, except that a description on a reproduction of a shipping paper may be highlighted, rather than printed, in a contrasting color (the provisions of this paragraph apply only to the basic description required by § 172.202(a)(1), (2), (3), and (4)), or
     (iii) Must be identified by the entry of an "X" placed before the basic shipping description required by § 172.202 in a column captioned "HM." (The "X" may be replaced by "RQ," if appropriate.)
   (2) The required shipping description on a shipping paper and all copies of the shipping paper used for transportation purposes must be legible and printed (manually or mechanically) in English.
   (3) Unless it is specifically authorized or required in this subchapter, the required shipping description may not contain any code or abbreviation.
   (4) A shipping paper may contain additional information concerning the material provided the information is not inconsistent with the required description. Unless otherwise permitted or required by this subpart, additional information must be placed after the basic description required by § 172.202(a).
   (5) Electronic shipping papers. For transportation by rail, a rail carrier may accept shipping paper information either telephonically (i.e., voice communications and facsimiles) or electronically (EDI) from an offeror of a hazardous materials shipment in accordance with the provisions in paragraphs (a)(5)(i)-(a)(5)(iv) of this section. See § 171.8 for the EDI definition.
     (i) When the information applicable to the consignment is provided under this requirement the information must be available to the offeror and carrier at all times during transport, and the carrier must have and maintain a printed copy of this information until delivery of the hazardous materials on the shipping paper is complete. When a paper document is produced, the data must be presented as required by this subpart.
     (ii) The offeror must forward the shipping paper (record) for a loaded movement to the carrier prior to shipment unless the carrier prepares the shipping paper on behalf of the offeror. The offeror is only relieved of the duty to forward the shipping paper once the offeror has received a copy of the shipping paper from the carrier;
     (iii) A carrier that generates a residue shipping paper using information from the previous loaded movement of a hazardous materials packaging must ensure the description of the hazardous material that accompanies the shipment complies with the offeror's request; and
     (iv) Verification. The carrier and the offeror must have a procedure by which the offeror can verify accuracy of the transmitted hazard communication information that will accompany the shipment.
  (b) [Reserved]
  (c) Continuation page. A shipping paper may consist of more than one page, if each page is consecutively numbered and the first page bears a notation specifying the total number of pages included in the shipping paper. For example, "Page 1 of 4 pages."
  (d) Emergency response telephone number. Except as provided in § 172.604(d), a shipping paper must contain an emergency response telephone number and, if utilizing an emergency response information telephone number service provider, identify the person (by name or contract number) who has a contractual agreement with the service provider, as prescribed in subpart G of this part.
  (e) Retention and Recordkeeping.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0223; FRL-9694-01-OCSPP]

Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of
the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation
order follows a February 24, 2022, Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Requests from the registrant listed in Table 2 of Unit II to
voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the February 24,
2022, notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing
the cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments
within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further review of
these requests, or unless the registrant withdrew their request. The
Agency received three incomplete anonymous public comments on the
notice, but none merited its further review of the requests. Further,
the registrant did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby
issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

    The Agency received three anonymous public comments on the notice;
however, the comments were incomplete. For these reasons, the Agency
does not believe that the comments submitted during the comment period
merit further review or a denial of the requests for voluntary
cancellation.

IV. Cancellation Order

    Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f) (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)), EPA hereby
approves the requested cancellations of the registrations identified in
Table 1 of Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency hereby orders that the
product registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II are canceled.
The effective date of the cancellations that are the subject of this
notice is April 27, 2022.

V. 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 or amended to terminate one or
more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, following the public comment period, the EPA
Administrator may approve such a request. The notice of receipt for
this action was published for comment in the Federal Register of
February 24, 2022 (87 FR 10360) (FRL-9600-01-OCSPP). The comment period
closed on March 28, 2022.

VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States, and which were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. For this voluntary cancellation request, the
registrant indicates that the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II are
not in the channels of trade because they were never commercialized in
the United States. Therefore, no existing stocks provision is needed.
    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: April 18, 2022.

Acting Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.
