A. Background

    EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) selects
multi-year national priorities focusing on specific environmental
problems, risks, or patterns of noncompliance. A performance-based
strategy is developed for each national priority to characterize

the problem and set goals for addressing it. The intent of this Notice
is to invite comments from the public on EPA's enforcement and
compliance assurance priorities for the years 2008-2010 and provide a
summary of the process EPA used to identify this proposed list of
National Priorities.
    This past summer, EPA Regions were asked to review the national
priority selection criteria to help inform their recommendations on
which priorities, in part or in whole, EPA should continue through FY
2010. In addition, the EPA Regions discussed the priorities with the
states and tribes, to get their opinion on whether the existing
priorities should be continued, in part or in whole, for the next three
fiscal years.
    States and tribes were also encouraged to put forward any new
suggestions for priorities that they would like to see considered at a
national level. Feedback to date from EPA Regions, states and tribes
has been generally supportive of continuing with the existing set of
national priorities. OECA uses the following criteria to select
national priorities:
    (a) Significant Environmental Benefit. Can significant
environmental benefits be gained, or risks to human health or the
environment be reduced through focused EPA action directed at specific
regulated entities, geographic areas, industrial or governmental
sectors, or environmental program areas?
    (b) Pattern of Noncompliance. Are there identifiable and important
patterns of noncompliance among specific regulated entities, industrial
or governmental sectors, in geographic areas, or within environmental
statutes or programs?
    (c) Appropriate EPA Responsibility. Are the environmental risks,
human health risks or the patterns of noncompliance sufficient in scope
and scale such that EPA is best suited to take action or pursue a
collaborative approach in which EPA leverages other resources?
    The proposed set of FY 2008-2010 national priorities are shown
below.
     Clean Water Act--Stormwater.
     Clean Water Act--Combined Sewer Overflow.
     Clean Water Act--Sanitary Sewer Overflow.
     Clean Water Act--Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.
     Clean Air Act--New Source Review/Prevention of Significant
Deterioration.
     Clean Air Act--Air Toxics.
     RCRA & CERCLA--Financial Assurance.
     RCRA--Mining & Mineral Processing.
     Tribal.
    The FY 2005-2007 Petroleum Refining priority will not continue into
FY 2008-2010 as a national priority. The priority has met its primary
goal of addressing 80% of the national refining capacity. It is
important to note that discontinuation as a national priority does not
mean that the Agency will no longer focus on these areas, but rather
the work will continue as part of the Agency's core program activities.
    The table below includes a brief description of the environmental
problem in each priority area. Greater detail and background
information on each priority area can be found at http://www.epa.gov/compliance/data/planning/priorities/index.html.
 Information on end of

year results for the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance,

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clean Water Act--Stormwater..........  Stormwater runoff from urban
                                        areas can include a variety of
                                        pollutants, such as sediment,
                                        bacteria, organic nutrients,
                                        hydrocarbons, metals, oil and
                                        grease.
Clean Water Act--Combined Sewer        Combined sewer systems are
 Overflow.                              designed to collect rainwater
                                        runoff, domestic sewage and
                                        industrial wastewater in the
                                        same pipe. During periods of
                                        rainfall or snow melt, the
                                        wastewater volume in a combined
                                        sewer system can exceed the
                                        capacity of the system or
                                        treatment plant, leading to an
                                        overflow.
Clean Water Act--Sanitary Sewer        The main pollutants in raw sewage
 Overflow.                              from SSOs are bacteria,
                                        pathogens, nutrients, untreated
                                        industrial wastes, toxic
                                        pollutants, such as oil and
                                        pesticides, and wastewater

Clean Water Act--Concentrated Animal   The major environmental problem
 Feeding Operations.                    associated with CAFOs is the
                                        large volume of animal waste
                                        generated in concentrated areas.
                                        Pollutants associated with
                                        animal waste primarily include
                                        nutrients, mainly nitrogen and
                                        phosphorus, but animal waste may
                                        also include organic matter,
                                        solids, pathogens, pesticides,
                                        antibiotics, hormones, salts and

                                        managed, pollutants can be
                                        released into the environment
                                        through discharges from manure

                                        requirements results in
                                        inadequate control of emissions,
                                        thereby contributing thousands
                                        of unaccounted tons of pollution
                                        each year, particularly of

                                        returning to the core program.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At this time we are inviting comments on this list of national
priorities and welcome recommendations on other areas that you think
should be considered as national priority candidates. EPA intends to
consider public comments as we develop a limited number of recommended
FY 2008-2010 priorities. When submitting responses to this Notice,
commentors should rank which of the areas listed above should be a top
concern for national focus, as well as suggest others not included on
the current list. If additional problem areas are identified, the
commentor should provide supporting information relating to the
previously listed criteria. Suggested priority areas that are not
chosen may be candidates for individual Regional or State attention
and/or continued investigation. Direct your comments to Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OECA-2007-0066. Please ensure that your comments are submitted
within the specified comment period. Comments received after the
closing date will be marked ``late,'' and may only be considered if
time permits. It is EPA's policy to include all comments it receives in
the public docket without change and to make the comments available
online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal

information provided, unless a comment includes information claimed to
be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov

or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access''

system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you
send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through
http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be automatically captured

and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket
and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic
comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact
information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you
submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses. For additional information about EPA's public docket visit the
EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

B. Projected Time Frames

    After receiving comments in response to this Notice, we expect to
complete an analysis of proposed priorities and provide a list of final
recommendations to OECA's Assistant Administrator for approval. EPA
will share the final recommendations with the Regions, states and
tribes in a subsequent Federal Register Notice this spring. OECA
expects to issue its final FY2008 Work Planning Guidance, which will
include the final list of 2008-2010 national priorities, in April 2007.

in the closed position from 6 p.m. on March 25, 2011 through 6 p.m. on
March 27, 2011. Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed
position may do so at any time.
    The Beverly Harbor Master and the local marinas were notified and
no objections were received.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the bridge must return to its
regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 27, 2016, at 81 FR 95066, the Federal Register
published our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to
amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Sikorsky Model
S-92A helicopters, serial numbers 920006 through 920298. The NPRM
proposed to require installing a No. 2 engine outboard flame detector
bracket assembly (bracket) and a No. 2 engine flame detector harness
assembly (harness), if not already installed or if the bracket was not
installed before the harness. The proposed AD was prompted by reports
of false fire indications from the No. 2 engine outboard flame
detectors. The proposed requirements were intended to prevent a false
fire warning, which could result in an unnecessary emergency landing or
ditching.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we received no comments on the NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    We have reviewed the relevant information and determined that an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
products of these same type designs and that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Sikorsky S-92 Customer Service Notice 92-094, Revision
B, dated June 14, 2016, which provides procedures for installing
harness part number (P/N) 92310-04201-041.
    We also reviewed Sikorsky Special Service Instructions No. 92-107G,
Revision G, dated February 25, 2016, (SSI No. 92-107G) which specifies
installing new brackets, P/N 92070-30033-011, 92070-30033-014, and
92070-30033-015, to increase the stability of the No. 2 engine outboard
flame detector.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    We reviewed Sikorsky S-92 Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 92-26-006,
Basic Issue, dated February 25, 2016. This service information provides
instructions for installing a new bracket by complying with SSI No. 92-
107G. We also reviewed S-92 ASB 92-26-007, Basic Issue, dated June 14,
2016. This service information specifies installing harness P/N 92310-
04201-041 after or concurrently with the new bracket.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 50 helicopters of U.S. Registry
and that labor costs average $85 per work-hour. Based on these
estimates, we expect that installing a new bracket and harness requires
15.25 work hours for a labor cost of about $1,296. Parts cost $100 for
a total cost of about $1,396 per helicopter and $69,800 for the U.S.
fleet.

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

    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 that this AD:
    (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);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

II. Summary of Petitioned-for Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of July 25, 2012 (77 FR 43562) (FRL-9353-
6), EPA issued a notice pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 2E8020)
by IR-4, 500 College Road East, Suite 201W., Princeton, NJ 08540. The
petition requested that 40 CFR 180.498 be amended by establishing
tolerances for residues of the herbicide sulfentrazone (N-[2,4-
dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-
triazol-1-yl]phenyl]-methanesulfonamide) and its metabolites 3-
hydroxymethylsulfentrazone (N-[2,4-dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-
dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-
yl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide) and 3-desmethyl sulfentrazone (N-[2,4-
dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-
yl]phenyl] methanesulfonamide), in or on soybean, vegetable, succulent
(Edamame) at 0.15 ppm. That notice referenced a summary of the petition
prepared by FMC, the registrant, which is available in the docket,
http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response
to the notice of filing.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable
information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in
residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure.
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. * *
*''
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for sulfentrazone including
exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action.
EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with sulfentrazone
follows.
    In the Federal Register of July 12, 2012 (77 FR 41081) (FRL-9353-
8), EPA published a final rule establishing tolerances for residues of
herbicide sulfentrazone in Sec.  180.498(a)(2) in or on rhubarb; turnip
roots; turnip tops; sunflower subgroup 20B; citrus fruit group 10-10;
low growing berry group 13-07; tree nut group 14; pistachio; and Sec.
180.498 (c) tolerances with regional registrations for wheat forage;
wheat hay; wheat grain; wheat straw; and cowpea, succulent. The human
health risk assessment used to support this final rule
(``Sulfentrazone: Human-Health Risk Assessment for the Establishment of
Sulfentrazone Tolerances in/on: Rhubarb, Turnip Roots and Tops,
Sunflower Subgroup 20B, Succulent Cowpea, Succulent Lima Bean,
Succulent Vegetable Soybean, Wheat (Spring), Citrus Fruit Group 10-10,
Low-Growing Berry Group 13-07, Tree Nut Group 14, Pistachios, and Crop
Group 18 Nongrass Animal Feeds''), assumed that sulfentrazone would be
used on succulent soybeans. Therefore the aggregate risks for
sulfentrazone for this action are not changed from those discussed in
the July 12, 2012 Federal Register.
    EPA concluded the following: That the acute dietary exposure from
food and water to sulfentrazone will occupy 3.2% of the acute
population adjusted dose (aPAD) for females 13-49 years old, the
population group receiving the greatest exposure; that chronic exposure
to sulfentrazone from food and water will utilize 4.2% of the chronic
population adjusted dose (cPAD) for children 1-2 years old, the
population group receiving the greatest exposure; and that the combined
short-term food, water, and residential exposures result in an
aggregate margin of exposure (MOE) of 280 for children 1-2 years old,
and an aggregate risk index (ARI) of 3.9 for the general U.S.
population and adult males. Because EPA's level of concern for
sulfentrazone is an MOE of 100 or below and/or an ARI of 1 or below,
this MOE and ARI are not of concern. Based on the lack of evidence of
carcinogenicity in two adequate rodent carcinogenicity studies,
sulfentrazone is not expected to pose a cancer risk to humans.
    Therefore, EPA concluded that there is a reasonable certainty that
no harm will result to the general population and to infants and
children from aggregate exposure to sulfentrazone residues. Refer to
the July 12, 2012 Federal Register document, available at http://www.regulations.gov, for a detailed discussion of the aggregate risk
assessments and determination of safety. EPA relies upon those risk
assessments and the findings made in the Federal Register document in
support of this action.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology (gas chromatography (GC)) is
available to enforce the tolerance expression. The method has been
forwarded for inclusion in the Pesticides Analytical Manual, Volume II.
The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch,
Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350;
telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
B. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food

safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA considers the
international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the Codex
Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA section
408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations Food and
Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards
program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for sulfentrazone on succulent
soybean.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, a tolerance is established for residues of
sulfentrazone, (N-[2,4-dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-
methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]phenyl] methanesulfonamide) and its
metabolites 3-hydroxy methylsulfentrazone (N-[2,4-dichloro-5-[4-
(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-hydroxymethyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-
yl] phenyl]methanesulfonamide) and 3-desmethyl sulfentrazone (N-[2,4-
dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-
yl]phenyl] methanesulfonamide), in Sec.  180.498(a)(2) in or on
vegetable, soybean, succulent at 0.15 ppm.
    Also, EPA is amending the table in Sec.  180.498(a)(2) to correct
the description therein of Crop Group 13-07. Under EPA crop group
regulations, Crop Group 13-07 is designated as the ``Berry and Small
Fruit Crop Group,'' 40 CFR 180.41(c)(18). Consistent with this
regulation, the petitioner requested the ``berry and small fruit group
13-07'' and provided the appropriate residue field trial data to
support a tolerance on this group. EPA published appropriate notice of
this request in the Federal Register, correctly describing the
requested tolerance as being for the ``berry and small fruit group 13-
07,'' in the Federal Register of July 6, 2011 (76 FR 39358) (FRL-8875-
6). EPA also correctly identified in the final rule that petitioners
had requested a ``berry and small fruit group 13-07'' and tolerance and
EPA disclaimed any intent to modify this proposed tolerance, (77 FR
41082, 41086). Nonetheless, EPA mistakenly directed that paragraph
(a)(2) be amended to establish a tolerance for ``low growing berry
group 13-07.'' EPA is amending paragraph (a)(2) to revise ``low growing
berry group 13-07'' with the correct regulatory term, ``berry and small
fruit group 13-07,'' consistent with the petition's request and the
Federal Register notice of the petition and EPA's disposition of the
petition in the final rule published in the Federal Register of July
12, 2012.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408(d)
in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has
been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule
is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain
any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance in this
final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
