through (4), adding new paragraph (a)(1), and revising the newly
redesignated paragraph (a)(2) to read as follows:

Sec.  60.4415  How do I conduct the initial and subsequent performance
tests for sulfur?

    (a) You must conduct an initial performance test, as required in
Sec.  60.8. Subsequent SO2 performance tests shall be
conducted on an annual basis (no more than 14 calendar months following
the previous performance test). There are four methodologies that you
may use to conduct the performance tests.
    (1) The use of a current, valid purchase contract, tariff sheet, or
transportation contract for the fuel specifying the maximum total
sulfur content of all fuels combusted in the affected facility.
Alternately, the fuel sampling data specified in section <IP_ADDRESS> or
<IP_ADDRESS> of appendix D to part 75 of this chapter may be used.
    (2) Periodically determine the sulfur content of the fuel combusted
in the turbine, a representative fuel sample may be collected either by
an automatic sampling system or manually. For automatic sampling,
follow ASTM D5287 (incorporated by reference, see Sec.  60.17) for
gaseous fuels or ASTM D4177 (incorporated by reference, see Sec.
60.17) for liquid fuels. For manual sampling of gaseous fuels, follow
API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, Chapter 14, Section 1,
GPA 2166, or ISO 10715 (all incorporated by reference, see Sec.
60.17). For manual sampling of liquid fuels, follow GPA 2174 or the
procedures for manual pipeline sampling in section 14 of ASTM D4057
(both incorporated by reference, see Sec.  60.17). The fuel analyses of
this section may be performed either by you, a service contractor
retained by you, the fuel vendor, or any other qualified agency.
Analyze the samples for the total sulfur content of the fuel using:
    (i) For liquid fuels, ASTM D129, or alternatively D1266, D1552,
D2622, D4294, D5453, D5623, or D7039 (all incorporated by reference,
see Sec.  60.17); or
    (ii) For gaseous fuels, ASTM D1072, or alternatively D3246, D4084,
D4468, D4810, D6228, D6667, or GPA 2140, 2261, or 2377 (all

Sec.  60.5476  What test methods and procedures must I use to determine
compliance with the standards and requirements for certification?

* * * * *
    (i) The approved test laboratory must allow the manufacturer, the
manufacturer's approved third-party certifier, the EPA and delegated
state regulatory agencies to observe certification testing. However,
manufacturers must not involve themselves in the conduct of the test
after the pretest burn has begun. Communications between the
manufacturer and laboratory or third-party certifier personnel
regarding operation of the central heater must be limited to written
communications transmitted prior to the first pretest burn of the
certification test series. During certification tests, the manufacturer
may communicate with the third-party certifier, and only in writing to
notify them that the manufacturer has observed a deviation from proper
test procedures by the laboratory. All communications must be included
in the test documentation required to be submitted pursuant to Sec.
60.5475(b)(5) and must be consistent with instructions provided in the
owner's manual required under Sec.  60.5478(f).

    8.1.3 Leak-Check Procedures.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Leak Check of Metering System Shown in Figure 4-1. That
portion of the sampling train from the pump to the orifice meter
should be leak-checked prior to initial use and after each shipment.
Leakage after the pump will result in less volume being recorded
than is actually sampled. The following procedure is suggested (see
Figure 5-2 of Method 5): Close the main valve on the meter box.
Insert a one-hole rubber stopper with rubber tubing attached into
the orifice exhaust pipe. Disconnect and vent the low side of the
orifice manometer. Close off the low side orifice tap. Pressurize
the system to 13 to 18 cm (5 to 7 in.) water column by blowing into
the rubber tubing. Pinch off the tubing and observe the manometer
for one minute. A loss of pressure on the manometer indicates a leak
in the meter box; leaks, if present, must be corrected.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Pretest Leak Check. A pretest leak check of the sampling
train is recommended, but not required. If the pretest leak check is
conducted, the following procedure should be used.
    <IP_ADDRESS>.1 After the sampling train has been assembled, turn on
and set the filter and probe heating systems to the desired
operating temperatures. Allow time for the temperatures to
stabilize.
    <IP_ADDRESS>.2 Leak-check the train by first plugging the inlet to
the filter holder and pulling a 380 mm (15 in.) Hg vacuum. Then
connect the probe to the train, and leak-check at approximately 25
mm (1 in.) Hg vacuum; alternatively, the probe may be leak-checked
with the rest of the sampling train, in one step, at 380 mm (15 in.)
Hg vacuum. Leakage rates in excess of 4 percent of the average
sampling rate or 0.00057 m\3\/min (0.020 cfm), whichever is less,
are unacceptable.
    <IP_ADDRESS>.3 Start the pump with the bypass valve fully open and
the coarse adjust valve completely closed. Partially open the coarse
adjust valve, and slowly close the bypass valve until the desired
vacuum is reached. Do not reverse the direction of the bypass valve,
as this will cause water to back up into the filter holder. If the
desired vacuum is exceeded, either leak-check at this higher vacuum,
or end the leak check and start over.
    <IP_ADDRESS>.4 When the leak check is completed, first slowly remove
the plug from the inlet to the probe, filter holder, and immediately
turn off the vacuum pump. This prevents the water in the impingers
from being forced backward into the filter holder and the silica gel
from being entrained backward into the third impinger.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Leak Checks During Sample Run. If, during the sampling
run, a component (e.g., filter assembly or impinger) change becomes
necessary, a leak check shall be conducted immediately before the
change is made. The leak check shall be done according to the
procedure outlined in section <IP_ADDRESS> above, except that it shall be
done at a vacuum equal to or greater than the maximum value recorded
up to that point in the test. If the leakage rate is found to be no
greater than 0.00057 m\3\/min (0.020 cfm) or 4 percent of the
average sampling rate (whichever is less), the results are
acceptable, and no correction will need to be applied to the total
volume of dry gas metered; if, however, a higher leakage rate is
obtained, either record the leakage rate and plan to correct the
sample volume as shown in section 12.3 of Method 5, or void the
sample run.
    Note: Immediately after component changes, leak checks are
optional. If such leak checks are done, the procedure outlined in
section <IP_ADDRESS> above should be used.
    <IP_ADDRESS> Post-Test Leak Check. A leak check of the sampling train
is mandatory at the conclusion of each sampling run. The leak check
shall be performed in accordance with the procedures outlined in
section <IP_ADDRESS>, except that it shall be conducted at a vacuum equal
to or greater than the maximum value reached during the sampling
run. If the leakage rate is found to be no greater than 0.00057 m\3\
min (0.020 cfm) or 4 percent of the average sampling rate (whichever
is less), the results are acceptable, and no correction need be
applied to the total volume of dry gas metered. If, however, a
higher leakage rate is obtained, either record the leakage rate and
correct the sample volume as shown in section 12.3 of Method 5 or
void the sampling run.
* * * * *
    <IP_ADDRESS> At the end of the sample run, close the coarse adjust
valve, remove the probe and nozzle from the stack, turn off the
pump, record the final DGM meter reading, and conduct a post-test
leak check, as outlined in section <IP_ADDRESS>.

Method 5--Determination of Particulate Matter Emissions From Stationary
Sources

* * * * *
    <IP_ADDRESS> Condenser. The following system shall be used to
determine the stack gas moisture content: Four impingers connected
in series with leak-free ground glass fittings or any similar leak-
free noncontaminating fittings. The first, third, and fourth
impingers shall be of the Greenburg-Smith design, modified by
replacing the tip with a 1.3 cm (\1/2\ in.) ID glass tube extending
to about 1.3 cm (\1/2\ in.) from the bottom of the flask. The second
impinger shall be of the Greenburg-Smith design with the standard
tip. Modifications (e.g., using flexible connections between the
impingers, using materials other than glass, or using flexible
vacuum lines to connect the filter holder to the condenser) may be
used, subject to the approval of the Administrator. The first and
second impingers shall contain known quantities of water (Section
8.3.1), the third shall be empty, and the fourth shall contain a
known weight of silica gel, or equivalent desiccant. A temperature
sensor, capable of measuring temperature to within 1 [deg]C (2
[deg]F) shall be placed at the outlet of the fourth impinger for
monitoring purposes. Alternatively, any system that cools the sample
gas stream and allows measurement of the water condensed and
moisture leaving the condenser, each to within 0.5 g may be used,
subject to the approval of the Administrator. An acceptable
technique involves the measurement of condensed water either
gravimetrically and the determination of the moisture leaving the
condenser by: (1) Monitoring the temperature and pressure at the
exit of the condenser and using Dalton's law of partial pressures;
or (2) passing the sample gas stream through a tared silica gel (or
equivalent desiccant) trap with exit gases kept below 20 [deg]C (68
[deg]F) and determining the weight gain. If means other than silica
gel are used to determine the amount of moisture leaving the
condenser, it is recommended that silica gel (or equivalent) still
be used between the condenser system and pump to prevent moisture
condensation in the pump and metering devices and to avoid the need
to make corrections for moisture in the metered volume.
    Note: If a determination of the PM collected in the impingers is
desired in addition to moisture content, the impinger system
described above shall be used, without modification. Individual
States or control agencies requiring this information shall be
contacted as to the sample recovery and analysis of the impinger
contents.
* * * * *
    6.2.4 Petri dishes. For filter samples; glass, polystyrene, or
polyethylene, unless otherwise specified by the Administrator.

flaws, or pinhole leaks. Label filters of the proper diameter on the
back side near the edge using numbering machine ink. As an
alternative, label the shipping containers (glass, polystyrene or
polyethylene petri dishes), and keep each filter in its identified
container at all times except during sampling.
* * * * *
    <IP_ADDRESS> Impinger Water. Treat the impingers as follows: Make a
notation of any color or film in the liquid catch. Measure the
liquid that is in the first three impingers by weighing it to within
0.5 g at a minimum by using a balance. Record the weight of liquid
present. This information is required to calculate the moisture
content of the effluent gas. Discard the liquid after measuring and
recording the weight, unless analysis of the impinger catch is
required (see Note, section <IP_ADDRESS>). If a different type of
condenser is used, measure the amount of moisture condensed
gravimetrically.

    8.5 Post-Run System Bias Check and Drift Assessment.
    How do I confirm that each sample I collect is valid? After each
run, repeat the system bias check or 2-point system calibration
error check (for dilution systems) to validate the run. Do not make
adjustments to the measurement system (other than to maintain the
target sampling rate or dilution ratio) between the end of the run
and the completion of the post-run system bias or system calibration
error check. Note that for all post-run system bias or 2-point
system calibration error checks, you may inject the low-level gas
first and the upscale gas last, or vice-versa. If conducting a
relative accuracy test or relative accuracy test audit, consisting
of nine runs or more, you may risk sampling for up to three runs
before performing the post-run bias or system calibration error
check provided you pass this test at the conclusion of the group of
three runs. A failed post-run bias or system calibration error check
in this case will invalidate all runs subsequent to the last passed
check. When conducting a performance or compliance test, you must
perform a post-run system bias or system calibration error check
after each individual test run.

Method 16B--Determination of Total Reduced Sulfur Emissions From
Stationary Sources

* * * * *
    2.1 A gas sample is extracted from the stack. The SO2
is removed selectively from the sample using a citrate buffer
solution. The TRS compounds are then thermally oxidized to
SO2 and analyzed as SO2 by gas chromatography
(GC) using flame photometric detection (FPD).

    6.1 Sample Collection. The sampling train is shown in Figure
16B-1. Modifications to the apparatus are accepted provided the
system performance check in section 8.3.1 is met.
* * * * *
    8.2 Sample Collection. Before any source sampling is performed,
conduct a system performance check as detailed in section 8.3.1 to
validate the sampling train components and procedures. Although this
test is optional, it would significantly reduce the possibility of
rejecting tests as a result of failing the post-test performance
check. At the completion of the pretest system performance check,
insert the sampling probe into the test port making certain that no
dilution air enters the stack though the port. Condition the entire
system with sample for a minimum of 15 minutes before beginning
analysis. If the sample is diluted, determine the dilution factor as
in section 10.4 of Method 15.
* * * * *
    11.1 Analysis. Inject aliquots of the sample into the GC/FPD
analyzer for analysis. Determine the concentration of SO2
directly from the calibration curves or from the equation for the
least-squares line.

O2 indicate either infiltration of ambient air into the
landfill gas sample or an inappropriate testing site has been chosen
where anaerobic decomposition has not begun. The landfill gas sample
is acceptable if the concentration of N2 is less than 20
percent. Alternatively, the oxygen content of each cylinder must be
less than 5 percent. Landfills with 3-year average annual rainfalls
equal to or less than 20 inches annual rainfalls samples are
acceptable when the N2 to O2 concentration
ratio is greater than 3.71.

Method 26--Determination of Hydrogen Halide and Halogen Emissions From
Stationary Sources Non-Isokinetic Method

* * * * *
    8.1.2 Adjust the probe temperature and the temperature of the
filter and the stopcock (i.e., the heated area in Figure 26-1) to a
temperature sufficient to prevent water condensation. This
temperature must be maintained between 120 and 134 [deg]C (248 and
273 [deg]F). The temperature should be monitored throughout a
sampling run to ensure that the desired temperature is maintained.
It is important to maintain a temperature around the probe and
filter in this range since it is extremely difficult to purge acid
gases off these components. (These components are not quantitatively
recovered and, hence, any collection of acid gases on these
components would result in potential under reporting of these
emissions. The applicable subparts may specify alternative higher
temperatures.)

given in Method 5, Section 8.5. It is important to maintain a
temperature around the probe, filter (and cyclone, if used) between
120 and 134 [deg]C (248 and 273 [deg]F) since it is extremely
difficult to purge acid gases off these components. (These
components are not quantitatively recovered and hence any collection
of acid gases on these components would result in potential under
reporting these emissions. The applicable subparts may specify
alternative higher temperatures.) For each run, record the data
required on a data sheet such as the one shown in Method 5, Figure
5-3. If the condensate impinger becomes too full, it may be emptied,
recharged with 50 ml of 0.1 N H2SO4, and replaced during the sample
run. The condensate emptied must be saved and included in the
measurement of the volume of moisture collected and

included in the sample for analysis. The additional 50 ml of
absorbing reagent must also be considered in calculating the
moisture. Before the sampling train integrity is compromised by
removing the impinger, conduct a leak-check as described in Method
5, section 8.4.2.

audit gas shall be used, when possible. A gas mixture containing all
the target compounds within the calibration range and certified by
EPA's Traceability Protocol for Assay and Certification of Gaseous
Calibration Standards may be used when EPA performance audit
materials are not available. If a certified EPA audit gas or a
traceability protocol gas is not available, use a gas manufacturer
standard accurate to 2 percent.
* * * * *
    8.3 Seven (7)-Day Calibration Error (CE) Test Period. At the
beginning of each 24-hour period, set the initial instrument set
points by conducting a multi-point calibration for each compound.
The multi-point calibration shall meet the requirements in sections
13.1, 13.2, and 13.3. Throughout the 24-hour period, sample and
analyze the stack gas at the sampling intervals prescribed in the
regulation or permit. At the end of the 24-hour period, inject the
calibration gases at three concentrations for each compound in
triplicate and determine the average instrument response. Determine
the CE for each pollutant at each concentration using Equation 9-2.
Each CE shall be <=10 percent. Repeat this procedure six more times
for a total of 7 consecutive days.
    8.4 Performance Audit Test Periods. Conduct the performance
audit once during the initial 7-day CE test and quarterly
thereafter. Performance Audit Tests must be conducted through the
entire sampling and analyzer system. Sample and analyze the EPA
audit gas(es) (or the gas mixture) three times. Calculate the
average instrument response. Results from the performance audit test
must meet the requirements in sections 13.3 and 13.4.
* * * * *
    10.1 Multi-Point Calibration. After initial startup of the GC,
after routine maintenance or repair, or at least once per month,
conduct a multi-point calibration of the GC for each target analyte.
Calibration is performed at the instrument independent of the sample
transport system. The multi-point calibration for each analyte shall
meet the requirements in sections 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3.
* * * * *
    10.2 Daily Calibration. Once every 24 hours, analyze the mid-
level calibration standard for each analyte in triplicate.
Calibration is performed at the instrument independent of the sample
transport system. Calculate the average instrument response for each
analyte. The average instrument response shall not vary by more than
10 percent from the certified concentration value of the cylinder
for each analyte. If the difference between the analyzer response
and the cylinder concentration for any target compound is greater
than 10 percent, immediately inspect the instrument making any
necessary adjustments, and conduct an initial multi-point
calibration as described in section 10.1.
* * * * *
    13.1 Calibration Error (CE). The CEMS must allow the
determination of CE at all three calibration levels. The average
CEMS calibration response must not differ by more than 10 percent of
calibration gas value at each level after each 24-hour period and
after any triplicate calibration response check.
    13.2 Calibration Precision and Linearity. For each triplicate
injection at each concentration level for each target analyte, any
one injection shall not deviate more than 5 percent from the average
concentration measured at that level. When the CEMS response is
evaluated over three concentration levels, the linear regression
curve for each organic compound shall be determined using Equation
9-1 and must have an r\2\ >=0.995.
* * * * *
    13.4 Performance Audit Test Error. Determine the error for each
average

pollutant measurement using the Equation 9-2 in section 12.3. Each
error shall be less than or equal to 10 percent of the cylinder gas
certified value. Report the audit results including the average
measured concentration, the error and the certified cylinder
concentration of each pollutant as part of the reporting
requirements in the appropriate regulation or permit.

International (ASTM) D6348-12, including mandatory annexes, or
Method 321 for Portland cement plants as specified by the applicable
regulation or, if not specified, as appropriate for the source
concentration and category). Method 26 may be approved as a RM by
the Administrator on a case-by-case basis if not otherwise allowed
or denied in an applicable regulation.
* * * * *
    11.9.1 Unless otherwise specified in an applicable regulation,
use Method 26A in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, Method 320 in 40 CFR
part 63, appendix A, or ASTM D6348-12 including all annexes, as
applicable, as the RMs for HCl measurement. Obtain and analyze RM
audit samples, if they are available, concurrently with RM test
samples according to the same procedure specified for performance
tests in the general provisions of the applicable part. If Method 26
is not specified in an applicable subpart of the regulations, you
may request approval to use Method 26 in appendix A-8 to this part
as the RM on a site-specific basis under Sec. Sec.  63.7(f) or
60.8(b). Other RMs for moisture, O2, etc., may be
necessary. Conduct the RM tests in such a way that they will yield
results representative of the emissions from the source and can be
compared to the CEMS data.

added to the coating when it is manufactured, not to those that may
form as the coating cures (reaction products or cure volatiles). A
separate or modified test procedure must be used to measure these
reaction products or cure volatiles in order to determine the total
volatile HAP emissions from a coating. Cure volatiles are a
significant component of the total HAP content of some coatings. The
term ``coating'' used in this method shall be understood to mean
paints and coatings.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2019-0207]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders

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

ACTION: Notice of denials.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to deny applications from 41
individuals who requested an exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) prohibiting persons with a clinical
diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a
loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to operate a commercial
motor vehicle (CMV) from operating CMVs in interstate commerce.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Room W64-224,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. If you have
questions regarding viewing material in the docket, contact Docket
Operations,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Public Participation

A. Viewing Documents and Comments

    To view comments, as well as any documents mentioned in this notice
as being available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=FMCSA-2019-0207 and choose the document to review. If you do
not have access to the internet, you may view the docket online by
visiting Docket Operations in Room W12-140 on the ground floor of the
DOT West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590,
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays.

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    FMCSA received applications from 41 individuals who requested an
exemption from the FMCSRs prohibiting persons with a clinical diagnosis
of epilepsy or any other condition that is likely to cause a loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to operate a CMV from operating
CMVs in interstate commerce.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
concluded that granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety that would be obtained by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(8).

III. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a

level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption. The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA
grants medical exemptions from the FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align
with the maximum duration of a driver's medical certification. The
Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is based on
the eligibility criteria, the terms and conditions for Federal
exemptions, and an individualized assessment of each applicant's
medical information provided by the applicant.

IV. Conclusion

    The Agency has determined that these applicants do not satisfy the
eligibility criteria or meet the terms and conditions of the Federal
exemption and granting these exemptions would not provide a level of
safety that would be equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety that would be obtained by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(8).
Therefore, the 41 applicants in this notice have been denied exemptions
from the physical qualification standards in Sec.  391.41(b)(8).
    Each applicant has, prior to this notice, received a letter of
final disposition regarding his/her exemption request. Those decision
letters fully outlined the basis for the denial and constitute final
action by the Agency. This notice summarizes the Agency's recent
denials as required under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(4) by periodically
publishing names and reasons for denial.
    The following 41 applicants do not meet the minimum time
requirement for being seizure-free, either on or off of anti-seizure
medication:

(vector PV-ZMIR245) in Event MON 89034 corn, and Bacillus thuringiensis
Cry3Bb1 protein and the genetic material necessary for its production
(vector ZMIR39) in Event MON 88017 corn. Shipment and/or use under this
Permit is subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 172. Tolerance
exemptions currently under 40 CFR Part 180.1214 and being issued under
40 CFR Parts 174.518 and 174.519 apply to these plant-incorporated
protectants in corn to be tested under this permit.

	Prior to shipment and/or use of the subject corn, you must consult with
the pesticide regulatory officials and, if applicable, the biotechnology
regulatory officials of the State(s) in which your experimental program
will be conducted, and obtain a State permit or license if such is
required.  (Note Hawaii’s reporting requirement for genetically
modified organisms under section 321-11.6 of the Hawaii revised
statutes.) Issuance of this Federal permit does not negate the need for
permission from individual States.  Prior to initiating this
experimental program in any State, you are to notify the lead Agency of
the State(s) in which your experimental program will be conducted of the
specific testing program (when, where, how much, etc.).   Failure to do
so may result in revocation or modification of this EUP. You must comply
with all requirements of the USDA/APHIS as they apply to the proposed
testing.

	You must provide notice to the State pesticide regulatory Agency at
least 72 hours before you begin to apply the experimental use product.
You must also provide a copy of this authorization letter and stamped
labels, as well as the non-confidential portion of the Administrative
Material and Section G dated November 15, 2005 to all cooperators,
participants, and users prior to the initial pesticide application made
in accordance with the EUP. The Agency is also notifying the relevant
EPA Region(s), by sending them copies of this EUP.

Conditions under which the EUP is being issued are as follows.

	1. The total amount of corn seed to be used will not exceed the
quantity authorized by the EUP and its planting acres.

	2. The permittee must immediately notify the Environmental Protection
Agency of any findings from the experimental uses that have a bearing on
safety (i.e., reporting to the Agency of any adverse effects from the
use of, or exposure to, the pesticide is required).  The permittee will
also keep records of production, distribution and performance, and, on
request, make the records available to any authorized officer or
employee of the Environmental Protection Agency.

	3. You must provide a final report within 180 days of the expiration of
the permit.  The final report must include all of the items set forth in
40 CFR § 172.8(b) and must include the following items.

A state-by-state breakdown of locations per protocol.

A listing of experiments conducted within each protocol.

	4. Per 40 CFR §172.4(b)(v), you must provide the name and street
address of all cooperators as soon as available and prior to planting.

	5. The labeling submitted in connection with your application is
acceptable and must be used for all shipments of seed  subsequent to
receiving this approval and be  in possession of the user under this
EUP. A stamped copy is enclosed for your records.

	6. This experimental use permit is not a limited seed increase
registration under § 3 of FIFRA and plantings solely for commercial
seed increase are prohibited.

	Based upon the submitted experimental program, the subject corn seed
may be shipped for use under this permit to the following State(s) and
be planted on the following acreage; provided that test plots are not
located within ¼ mile of the habitats of endangered/threatened
lepidoptera or coleoptera species as listed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, that the protocol specific acreage is not exceeded,
that the States agree to the trials, and all requirements of the
USDA/APHIS have been met as they apply to the testing. Note that non-PIP
plants refers to all corn plants included in the experiment, and in
internal and external border areas, which do not contain the Bt proteins
produced in Events MON 89034, MON 89034

x MON 88017, or MON 88017.

We note that future EUP submissions should include the following
information.

Estimated state-by-state breakdown of locations per protocol.

County testing locations.

Seed and active ingredient quantity presented separately for each
program year.

Non-PIP plants contained within EUP experiments.

Total EUP acreage is equivalent to the sum of the acreage contained
within each experiment covered under protocols listed in the EUP program
submission. If a single experiment is divided among multiple locations,
acreage at all locations must be summed to determine total acreage for
the experiment. Total EUP acreage should be broken down into PIP acres
and non-PIP acres. PIP plants are defined as plants containing a
plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) and all non-PIP plants that are
intentionally crossed with PIP plants. Non-PIP plants are defined as all
non-PIP containing plants included within the experiment, such as border
row (internal and external) and control plants, that are not intentional
recipients of pollen from PIP-containing plants. Buffer acreage (e.g.
660 feet for corn) is not included in PIP EUP acreage calculation.

Re: Availability of other methyl chloroform substitutes for the Lake
City Army Ammunition Plant

	I called Dr. Harper to verify some information about the process used
to select nPB as a substitute for methyl chloroform in ammunition
coatings at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant.  Dr. Harper worked on a
team for ATK Thiokol that did the basic research and development for the
Army in selecting an alternative to methyl chloroform for ammunition
coatings.  She gave a presentation at the annual solvent substitution
conference in Arizona in 2003.

	I asked if it was necessary that the alternative be non-flammable.  Dr.
Harper said that this was a useful feature, but not absolutely
necessary.  nPB and the methyl chloroform it replaces are in a mixture
with ethyl acetate, which is flammable.

	I recalled from Dr. Harper’s presentation that ATK had evaluated a
number of alternatives for methyl chloroform.  She confirmed this, and
said that they tested 29 different solvents in up to eight categories.
Of the different alternative solvents, only nPB met the Army’s
performance criteria that allowed them to continue to use the same
process.  This was because of the unique combination of nPB’s solvency
and its high evaporation rate.

	Dr. Harper also mentioned some of the health and industrial hygiene
concerns that she and her team had concerning the use of nPB.  She
indicated that ATK does not use nPB for cleaning because of health
concerns.  She said she only felt comfortable with nPB in the ammunition
application at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant because of some
particular features of the process:

A small area [Note:  I wasn’t clear if it was a small area within the
plant, or the small surface area where the nPB was applied that she
referred to.]

The process is largely controlled remotely, with minimal staff exposure
to nPB.  Exposure only occurs when refilling the pot.

Proper ventilation installed at Lake City plant.

Dr. Harper said that the Army might investigate a complete revision to
the process for sealing ammunition that would eliminate the use of
solvent.  However, it was not yet clear that this would happen.
