Executive Summary

Fenpyroximate is a contact insecticide/miticide used for the control of leafhoppers, mealybugs, and mites.  Fenpyroximate is a mitochondrial electron-transport inhibitor (METI) which acts by targeting proton-translocating NADH:Q oxidoreductase and blocking ubiquinone reduction.

The Interregional Project No. 4 (IR-4) has proposed a Section 3 Registration for application of fenpyroximate to stone fruits (group 12-12), small vine climbing fruits except kiwifruit (subgroup 13-07F), and tuberous and corm vegetables (subgroup 1C).  IR-4, on behalf of the Agricultural Experiment Stations of CA, MI, MT, PA, TX, and UT, requests the establishment of tolerances for the for the combined residues of the insecticide fenpyroximate, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below.  Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of fenpyroximate, (E)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) methylene] amino]oxy]methyl] benzoate and its Zisomer, (Z)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5- phenoxy-lH-pyrazol-4-yl) methylene]amino]oxy] methyl]benzoate, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of fenpyroximate, in/on the following raw agricultural commodities (RACs):

                                   Commodity
                           Proposed Tolerance (ppm)
Fruit, stone, group 12
                                      2.0
Vegetable, tuberous and corm, subgroup lC
                                     0.10
Fruit, small, vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F
                                      1.0

No new residue data were submitted to support tolerance on small vine climbing fruits except kiwifruit (subgroup 13-07F).  IR-4 has requested that the established tolerance for residues in/on grape be expanded to its respective crop group.

Fenpyroximate tolerances have been established in 40 CFR §180.566.  Tolerances for plant commodities are expressed in terms of combined residues of fenpyroximate and its Z-isomer.  Permanent tolerances for plant commodities, under §180.566(a)(1) range from 0.10 ppm for cotton undelinted seed to 20 ppm tea.  Tolerances for milk and the fat, meat, and meat byproducts (excluding liver and kidney) of cattle, goat, horse, and sheep are listed in 40 CFR §180.566(a)(2) and are expressed in terms of the combined residues of fenpyroximate and its metabolites (E)-4-[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxypyrazol-4-yl)-methylene aminooxymethyl]benzoic acid and (E)-1,1-dimethylethyl-2-hydroxyethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene]amino]oxy]methyl]benzoate, calculated as the parent compound.  Tolerances for cattle, goat, horse, and sheep liver and kidney are listed under 40 CFR §180.566(a)(3) at 0.25 ppm and are expressed in terms of fenpyroximate and its metabolite (E)-4-[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxypyrazol-4-yl)-methylene aminooxymethyl]benzoic acid, calculated as the parent compound.  A time-limited tolerance for residues in/on honey at 0.10 ppm with a 12/31/13 expiration date is listed in 40 CFR §180.566(b) under a Section 18 Emergency Exemption.

The nature of the residue in crops is understood based on acceptable plant metabolism studies with fenpyroximate on snap beans, apples, citrus, cotton, and grapes.  The HED Metabolism Assessment Review Committee (MARC) has determined that the residues of concern for purposes of tolerance enforcement and risk assessment are the parent compound plus its Z-isomer (M-1).  The nature of the residue in ruminants is adequately understood based on an acceptable metabolism study in goats.  The MARC reviewed these data and determined that the residues of concern for purposes of tolerance enforcement and risk assessment are parent, Fen-OH [(E)-1,1-dimethylethyl-2-hydroxyethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene]amino]oxy]methyl]benzoate], and M3 [(E)-4-[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxypyrazol-4-yl)-methylene aminooxymethyl]benzoic acid] in milk, meat, and fat; and parent and M3 in liver and kidney.

An adequate enforcement method is available for determination of fenpyroximate residues of concern in the proposed/registered crops.  A gas chromatography method with nitrogen/phosphorus detection (GC/NPD), Method S19, has passed an Agency validation (DP# 269410, 10/10/00, G. Kramer).  Method S19 has a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.05 ppm for the combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 in snap beans and avocados.  A data-gathering liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS) method is also available.  This method was used for the analysis of the samples from submitted field and processing studies.

Data pertaining to multiresidue methods testing were previously submitted in conjunction with a petition for fenpyroximate tolerances in/on imported wine grapes and hops (PP#5E04435).  Fenpyroximate was not adequately recovered by any multiresidue protocol.

No new livestock feeding studies were submitted with this petition.  The only cattle feed commodities associated with this petition are potato culls and processed waste.  The additional fenpyroximate uses are not expected to result in an increase in the maximum reasonably balanced diets (MRBDs).  The existing tolerances on ruminant commodities are thus adequate to support registration of the proposed new uses of fenpyroximate.  There are no swine or poultry feedstuffs associated with this petition.

The submitted field trial residue data for stone fruit and potatoes are adequate.  The field trial data reflect the proposed use pattern; an adequate number of trials were conducted in the appropriate geographic regions; and samples were analyzed for the residue of concern using validated data-collection methods.  The storage intervals were also validated.  Using the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) tolerance calculation procedures for the residue data sets indicate that the requested tolerance levels are appropriate.  However, a revised Section F with corrected commodity definitions is requested (see below).

The submitted plum and potato processing studies are also adequate.  Separate tolerances are not required for residues in/on any of the processed fractions.

An adequate confined rotational crop study is available.  [[14]C]Fenpyroximate was applied to sandy loam soil at 0.20 lb ai/A (1X the maximum seasonal rate to annual crops addressed in this petition).  Crops of radish, lettuce, and wheat were planted at 30, 120, and 365 days after treatment.  Residues were too low to allow for metabolite identification.  A field rotational crop study and rotational crop tolerances will, therefore, not be needed to support the proposed and registered uses.  The proposed 30-day plant-back interval (PBI) is appropriate.

Codex and Mexican maximum residue limits (MRLs) are established for residues of fenpyroximate per se in/ grapes (fresh and dried).  Harmonization with the Codex and Mexican MRLs is not possible because the U.S. tolerance expression includes an additional isomer and the U.S. use pattern requires a higher numerical value.  There are currently no established Canadian MRLs.

A human-health risk assessment is forthcoming in a separate document (D404839).

The following rotational crop restriction appears on the proposed labels:  "Do not plant rotational crops other than those listed on the label for 30 days following the last application of this product."

Conclusions:  The proposed use patterns are adequate to allow evaluation of the residue data submitted in support of this petition.

860.1300 Nature of the Residue - Plants

The nature of the residue in crops is understood based on acceptable plant metabolism studies with fenpyroximate on snap beans, apples, citrus, cotton, and grapes.  The HED MARC has determined (DP# 292639, J. Stokes, 7/12/03) that the residues of concern for purposes of tolerance enforcement and risk assessment are the parent compound plus its Z-isomer (M-1).

860.1300 Nature of the Residue - Livestock

The nature of the residue in ruminants is adequately understood based on an acceptable metabolism study in goats.  The MARC reviewed these data and determined that the residues of concern for purposes of tolerance enforcement and risk assessment are parent, Fen-OH, and M3 in milk, meat, and fat; and parent and M3 in liver and kidney (DP# 292639, J. Stokes, 7/12/03).  Data concerning the nature of the residue in poultry have not been submitted.

860.1340 Residue Analytical Methods

Plant Commodities

Enforcement Analytical Method:  Based on validation in a wide variety of matrices, an acceptable enforcement method, GC/NPD method DFG S19, is available for the proposed/registered crops.  This method has undergone a petition method validation (DP# 269410, 10/10/00, G. Kramer) and is listed in the U.S. EPA Index of Residue Analytical Methods under fenpyroximate, Method ID 2000_109M, "Quantitation of Fenpyroximate Residues in Raw Agricultural and Processed Commodities."  All of the deficiencies pertaining to this method have been resolved (DP# 364908, G. Kramer, 7/7/09).  Based on the lowest levels of method validation (LLMVs) reported in various matrices, Method DFG S19 has a LOQ of 0.02-0.10 ppm for the combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1.

Data-collection methods:  Samples from the submitted field and processing studies were analyzed using an LC/MS/MS method adapted from a PTRL West, Inc. method entitled "Magnitude of Residue of Fenpyroximate in/on Cotton Raw Agricultural Commodities and Processed Fractions of Cotton RACs" (PTRL Study Nos. P819W and P820W).  A number of minor modifications to the method were specified in the working methods (Working Outline WO 9.150 for peach and plum and 9.151 for cherry), including changes in clean-up procedures, reagents, and sample sizes.

Briefly, residues were extracted with acetone/water (4/1, v/v).  The volume of the final extract was adjusted to be within the calibration range for instrumental analysis.  Fenpyroximate and M-1 were determined by LC/MS/MS.  The LOQ (determined as the LLMV) was 0.05 ppm for fenpyroximate and M-1 for each matrix.  The method was adequate for data collection based on acceptable method validation and concurrent recovery data.  Recoveries were within the acceptable range of 70-120%.  The fortification levels used in method validation and concurrent method recovery were adequate to bracket expected residue levels.  Apparent residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 were below the LOQ in/on all samples of untreated samples.  Concurrent recoveries and residues in the treated samples were not corrected for residues in controls.

Conclusions:  The available enforcement analytical method is adequate to enforce the proposed tolerances.  An acceptable data-collection method was used in the submitted field trial studies.

860.1360 Multiresidue Methods

Data pertaining to multiresidue methods testing were previously submitted in conjunction with a petition for fenpyroximate tolerances on imported wine grapes and hops (PP#5E04435; DP# 292394, 8/20/03, G. Kramer).  Fenpyroximate was not adequately recovered by any multiresidue protocol.  No further data are required.

860.1380 Storage Stability

IR-4 conducted concurrent storage stability studies with the potato, cherry, peach, and plum field trials.  In addition, freezer storage stability data are available for five diverse crops (i.e., vegetables- 364-529 days in/on melon, pepper, and tomato; a high-oil-content crop- 397 days in avocado; a leafy crop- 2 years in/on hops; a nut- 281 days in/on almond nutmeat and hulls; and a legume bean with pod- 560 days in/on snap beans) which demonstrate stability fenpyroximate residues (DP# 391843, 5/11/12, G. Kramer).

Conclusions:  The available storage stability data for fenpyroximate are adequate to support the storage conditions and durations of samples from the submitted crop field trials processing studies.  There are no storage stability issues and no corrections for storage stability need be applied to the field trial and processing study data.

860.1480 Meat, Milk, Poultry, and Eggs

Ruminants:  No new livestock feeding studies were submitted with this petition.  The cattle feed commodities associated with this petition are potato culls and processed waste.  Previously (DP# 391843, 5/11/12, G. Kramer), the MRBD of fenpyroximate to beef and dairy cattle was estimated to be 0.76-1.6 ppm, based on a diet consisting of corn RACs and cotton seed meal.  As the combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 were <0.10 ppm in/on potato tubers in the crop field trials, the addition of potato feed items would not significantly affect the MRDBs.

IR-4 has submitted field trial data for fenpyroximate on stone fruit.  Twenty-two field trials were conducted on stone fruit in the U.S. during the 2010 growing season.  Seven cherry field trials (3 tart cherry trials and 4 sweet cherry trials) were conducted in North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Growing Zones 1 (NY; 1 trial), 5 (MI; 2 trials), 9 (CO; 1 trial), 10 (CA; 1 trial), and 11 (WA; 2 trials), nine peach field trials were conducted in NAFTA Growing Zones 2 (NJ and NC; 3 trials), 4 (AR; 1 trial), 5 (MI; 1 trial), 6 (TX; 1 trial), and 10 (CA; 3 trials), and six plum field trials were conducted in NAFTA Growing Zones 5 (MI; 1 trial), 10 (CA; 4 trials), and 12 (OR; 1 trial).

Each trial consisted of one untreated plot and one to three treated plots.  At each trial location, one treated plot received two foliar-directed applications of FujiMite[(R)] 5EC at 0.095-0.106 lb ai/A/application, for a total seasonal rate of 0.194-0.206 lb ai/A (1X).  Applications were generally made at 13- to 15-day RTIs using ground equipment in spray volumes of 60-148 gal/A; applications at the CA95 peach trial were made at a 7-day RTI.  For all sites, a nonionic surfactant (NIS) was added to the spray mixture for each of the applications on treatment plot 2, except for two cherry trials in which a crop-oil concentrate/organosilicone surfactant (COC/OSS) blend was used.  Additional side-by-side plots were also established at two cherry trial sites (CA90 and WA22) and three peach trial sites (CA94, CA95, and NC18), in which a COC or OSS adjuvant was added to the spray mixture for treatment plot 3 and no adjuvant was added to the spray mixture for treatment plot 4.  At the CA95 "no adjuvant" plot, the sprayer lost pressure and the second application was not completed; samples were not collected from this plot.  Samples of cherries, peaches, and plums were harvested from all trials at a 6- to 8-day PHI; additional samples of peaches were collected at PHIs of 2, 11, and 14 days from one trial (CA95) to assess residue decline.

For stone fruit harvested at a 6- to 8-day PHI following two foliar-directed applications of FujiMite[(R)] 5EC at 0.194-0.206 lb ai/A (with and without adjuvant), residues (and per-trial averages) of fenpyroximate, M-1, and combined residues, respectively, were:  0.0889-0.897 (0.0934-0.807), <0.05-0.123 (<0.05-0.121), and <0.139-1.02 (<0.143-0.928) ppm in/on cherry; 0.0589-0.200 (0.0594-0.195), <0.05 (<0.05), and <0.109-<0.250 (<0.109-<0.245) ppm in/on peach; and, <0.05-0.290 (<0.05-0.271), <0.05 (<0.05), and <0.10-<0.340 (<0.10-<0.321) ppm in/on plum (Table 4).

When the results following foliar applications are examined for the five side-by-side trial sites (three peach and two cherry), combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 were slightly higher following applications made with an adjuvant (NIS, OSS, or COC) than without an adjuvant by 1.1X to 1.6X, with the exception of one cherry side-by-side trial (WA22) in which the combined residues from the plot were 2.4X higher at the plot without an adjuvant than with an NIS adjuvant.  For the four side-by-side trial sites with both NIS and OSS plots, combined residues were slightly higher for the OSS plots than the NIS plots (1.2X to 1.4X), with the exception of one peach side-by-side trial (CA95) in which the combined residues were 1.2X higher for the NIS plot than the OSS plot.  For the one cherry trial with both NIS and COC plots, combined residues were higher for the COC plot by 2.7X.

The submitted peach residue decline data indicate that mean residues of fenpyroximate and combined residues decrease with increasing PHI.  Residues of M-1 were all <LOQ (0.05 ppm) at each sampling interval; therefore, residue decline could not be assessed.

[1]  As per OCSPP 860.1500, Tables 2 and 5 for cherry, peach and plum as the representative crops of stone fruits group 12.  The second number reflects a 25% reduction in the number of trials allowed for the crop as a representative commodity in support of a crop group/subgroup tolerance or when application results in no quantifiable residues.  For a stone fruit crop group tolerance, only six trials of sweet or tart cherries are required.
[2]  HED has concluded that two sweet cherry trials conducted in MI (MI24 and MI25) and two peach trials conducted in NJ (NJ09 and NJ10) each constitute a single trial with replicate samples for purposes of 860.1500 data requirements.
[3]  Trial can be conducted in either Zone.

The residue data for stone fruit were analyzed using the OECD tolerance calculation procedures (see Appendix I).  When the results for the five side-by-side trial sites (NIS, OSS or COC) were entered into the spreadsheet, the plot with the highest residue was chosen.  The recommended tolerances for the combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 are 2.0 ppm in/on cherry, 0.60 ppm in/on peach, and 0.60 ppm in/on plum.  The appropriate tolerance for the combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 in/on fruit, stone, group 12 is thus 2.0 ppm.

Twelve field trials were conducted in the U.S. during the 2009-2010 growing season in NAFTA Growing Zones 1 (NY; 2 trials), 2 (NC; 1 trial); 3 (FL; 1 trial); 5 (OH, MI, and WI; 3 trials), 9 (NM; 1 trial), 10 (CA; 1 trial), and 11 (ID and WA; 3 trials).

Each trial consisted of one untreated plot and one treated plot.  At each trial location, the treated plot received two foliar broadcast or directed applications of FujiMite[(R)] 5EC at 0.098-0.112 lb ai/A/application, for a total seasonal rate of 0.198-0.215 lb ai/A (1X).  Applications were made at 6- to 8-day RTIs using ground equipment in spray volumes of 21.4-50.3 gal/A.  A NIS was added to the spray mixture for each of the applications.  Samples of potatoes were harvested from all trials at a 6- to 7-day PHI; additional samples of potatoes were collected at PHIs of 0, 3, 9-11, and 12-14 days from two trials (09-NC18 and 09-MI11) to assess residue decline.

Following two foliar broadcast or directed applications of the 0.4 lb ai/gal EC formulation of fenpyroximate at 0.198-0.215 lb ai/A, residues of fenpyroximate, M-1, and combined residues, respectively, in/on potato tubers harvested at a 6- to 7-day PHI were <0.05, <0.05, and <0.10 ppm (Table 6).  In the residue-decline trials, residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 were <0.05 ppm in/on all samples.  Therefore, residue decline could not be assessed.

[1]  As per OCSPP 860.1500, Table 5 for potato.  The second number reflects a 25% reduction in the number of trials allowed when application results in no quantifiable residues.
2  HED has concluded that four sets of two trials conducted in WI (09-WI12 and 09-WI16), ID (09-ID12 and 09-ID13), and WA (09-WA05 and 09-WA06; 09-WA*07 and 09-WA*08) each constitute a single trial with replicate samples for purposes of 860.1500 data requirements.

The residue data for potatoes were not analyzed using the OECD tolerance calculation procedures as all residues were <LOQ.  The recommended tolerance for the combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 is 0.10 ppm for the vegetable, tuberous and corm, subgroup lC.

Fruit, small, vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F

No additional field trial data were submitted.  A tolerance for combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 in/on grapes has been established at 1.0 ppm [40 CFR §180.566].  IR-4 has proposed to convert this tolerance to fruit, small, vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F tolerance at the same level.

As the proposed use on fruit, small, vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F is identical to the existing use grapes on the product labels for FujiMite[(R)] 5EC, Portal[(R)], Akari[(R)] 5SC, the existing grape tolerance can be translated to fruit, small, vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F.

860.1520 Processed Food and Feed

Plum

48903703.der.docx

In one trial conducted in CA, plums received two foliar-directed applications of FujiMite[(R)] 5EC at an exaggerated rate of 0.509-0.511 lb ai/A/application for a total seasonal rate of 1.02 lb ai/A (~5X).  Applications were made at a 13-day RTI using ground equipment in spray volumes of 142 gal/A.  A NIS was added to the spray mixture for each of the applications.  Plums were harvested at a PHI of 7 days and processed into dried plums at the field site using simulated commercial procedures.  Adequate descriptions were provided of the processing procedures; material balance summaries were not provided.

Following two foliar broadcast applications of FujiMite[(R)] 5EC at a total seasonal rate of 1.0 lb ai/A (~5X), average residues of fenpyroximate, M-1, and combined residues, respectively were 1.84, 0.208, and 2.05 ppm in/on plums (RAC) and 3.18, 0.316, and 3.50 ppm in/on dried plums (Table 8).  The processing data indicate combined residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 may concentrate in dried plums (processing factor of 1.7X).  The observed processing factors do not exceed the theoretical concentration factor of 3.4X for prunes (OCSPP 860.1520, Table 2, based on loss of water).

Conclusions:  Concentration following processing was observed in dried plums.  Multiplication of the plum HAFT residue (0.321 ppm) by the dried plum processing factor of 1.7X yields a value (0.55 ppm) which is less than the recommended RAC tolerance (2.0 ppm); therefore, a separate tolerance is not required for dried plums.

Potato

DER Reference List	48903704.der2.docx

In one trial conducted in ID, potatoes received two foliar broadcast applications of FujiMite[(R)] 5EC at an exaggerated rate of 0.505-0.507 lb ai/A/application for a total seasonal rate of 1.012 lb ai/A (5X).  Applications were made at a 7-day RTI using ground equipment in spray volumes of 45.4-45.7 gal/A.  A NIS was added to the spray mixture for each of the applications.  Potatoes were harvested at a PHI of 7 days and processed into flakes, chips, and wet peel by the Food Technology Center (Caldwell, ID) using simulated commercial procedures.  Adequate descriptions were provided of the processing procedures, including material balance summaries.

Following two exaggerated-rate applications of fenpyroximate, average residues of fenpyroximate and M-1 were below the LOQ (<0.05 ppm) in/on potato tubers (RAC), flakes, chips, and wet peel; therefore, processing factors could not be calculated.  The theoretical concentration factors for potato are 4.7X for dried flakes/granules and 4.0X for processed waste (based on loss of water, OPPTS 860.1520, Table 2; and separation of components; OPPTS 860.1520, Table 3, respectively).

Conclusions:  These data indicate that significant concentration of fenpyroximate residues are unlikely to occur in the processed fractions of potato; therefore, separate tolerances are not required for potato processed fractions.

860.1650 Submittal of Analytical Reference Standards

Analytical standards for fenpyroximate (with expiration date of 11/20/2015) and its Z-isomer (with expiration date of 5/16/2014) are currently available in the EPA National Pesticide Standards Repository (personal communication with Theresa Cole, Analytical Chemistry Branch, 2/23/2012).

860.1850 Confined Accumulation in Rotational Crops
860.1900 Field Accumulation in Rotational Crops

No new confined rotational crop data were submitted with this petition.  An acceptable confined rotational crop study was previously submitted in support of the tolerance petition for uses on pome fruits, cotton, and grapes (PP#s 0F06437 and 0E06519; DP#s 291925 and 291926, 8/20/03, G. Kramer; 45649913.der.wpd).  In the study, lettuce, radish, and wheat were planted 30, 120, and 365 days following treatment of sandy loam soil at 0.2 lb ai/A.  The application rate used in the study is 1X the proposed maximum seasonal rate to the crops addressed in this petition.

The rotational crop data indicated that fenpyroximate-related residues were <0.01 ppm in all samples of rotated lettuce, radish, and wheat planted at 30-, 120-, and 365-day PBIs except wheat straw from the 120-day PBI.  The proposed 30-day PBI on the product labels is appropriate.

860.1550 Proposed Tolerances

IR-4 has proposed a tolerance expression for the combined residues of the insecticide fenpyroximate, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below.  Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of fenpyroximate, (E)-1,1-dimethylethyl4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) methylene] amino]oxy]methyl] benzoate and its Zisomer, (Z)-1,1-dimethylethyl4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5- phenoxy-lH-pyrazol-4-yl) methylene]amino]oxy] methyl]benzoate, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of fenpyroximate.

Codex and Mexican MRLs are established for residues of fenpyroximate per se in/ grapes (fresh and dried).  Harmonization with the Codex and Mexican MRLs is not possible because the U.S. tolerance expression includes an additional isomer and the U.S. use pattern requires a higher numerical value.  There are currently no established Canadian MRLs.

The submitted U.S. stone fruit residue data were entered into the tolerance spreadsheet as per the OECD tolerance calculation procedures in order to determine appropriate tolerance levels; see Appendix I.  The submitted residue data for potato were not entered into the tolerance spreadsheet because all treated samples bore combined residues below the LOQ of 0.10 ppm.

A summary of recommended tolerances for the current petition is listed in Table 9.  A revised Section F specifying the HED-recommended tolerances should be submitted.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP07-159-000]

Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of
Application

April 18, 2007.
    Take notice that on April 16, 2007, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 1250 West Century Avenue, Bismarck,
North Dakota 58503, filed an application in Docket No. CP07-159-000
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization
to reclassify approximately 6 miles of Williston Basin's 12-inch No. 3
natural gas storage line from the storage function to the gathering
function, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    This filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov
 using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number

excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; Toll-free: 1-

866-208-3676; or for TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any initial questions regarding this application should be directed
to Keith A. Tiggelaar, Director of Regulatory Affairs for Williston
Basin, P.O. Box 5601, Bismarck, North Dakota 58506-5601 at (701) 530-
1560.
    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 proceeding 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 14 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 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 commenters
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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. The Commission's rules require that
persons

filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their
protests only to the applicant. However, the non-party commenters 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 via the internet in lieu of paper; see 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site under the ``e-Filing'' link.

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


MEMORANDUM FOR:	DESIGNATED AGENCY SAFETY AND HEALTH OFFICIALS

FROM:	EDWIN G. FOULKE, JR.

SUBJECT:	Request for Agency Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Report on
Occupational Safety and Health

As we approach the end of FY2007, it is time again to request an annual
report on your agency’s occupational safety and health program.
Section 19(a)(5) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act)
requires that you submit your agency’s report to the Secretary of
Labor, addressing occupational accidents, injuries and illnesses, and
your agency’s program for providing safe and healthful places and
conditions of employment.  Your report should cover Fiscal Year (FY)
2007, and is due by January 1, 2008, as required by 29 CFR
1960.71(a)(1).  The information you provide will be summarized in the
annual report from the Secretary of Labor to the President on the status
of occupational safety and health in federal Executive Branch agencies.

Attached are two templates outlining the specific areas this year’s
report should address, and the format it should follow.  The first, more
comprehensive template is designed for use by all departments and
independent agencies with more than 50 employees.  Those independent
agencies employing 50 or fewer employees may opt to use the second,
abbreviated template provided that each of the following conditions is
met:

The agency has not experienced any fatalities or catastrophic incidents
in FY 2007; and

The agency’s total and lost time case rates for FY 2007 are at or
below the respective government-wide targets of 3.71 and 1.71 (Goals 1 &
2) as established under the Presidential Safety, Health, and
Return-to-Employment (SHARE) Initiative.

Please note that the report requirements are similar, but not identical,
to last year’s request.  Like last year, this year’s report should
include information on designated topics, including:  your agency’s
recordkeeping system(s); the occupational safety and health training
available to employees; and employees’ involvement in the Field
Federal

Safety and Health Councils [as defined in 29 CFR 1960.84(b)].  You are
also asked to submit information on any fatalities and catastrophic
incidents that have occurred during the fiscal year and provide a
summary investigation report for each, as required by 29 CFR Part
1960.70.  In addition, there is a new section soliciting information on
workplace violence incidents and programs in place to address such
occurrences.  Finally, you are asked to submit a list of your
establishments, if you have not already done so.    (See attached
memorandum dated August 23, 2007.)

As part of your agency’s report submission, please be sure to include
the following:

An Executive Summary, not to exceed three pages, synopsizing the major
points covered in your report.  Information contained in your Executive
Summary will be selectively incorporated into the Secretary’s report
to the President, so please ensure that it contains any salient
information you wish to provide to the President.  For independent
agencies with 50 or fewer employees, the full report may serve as the
Executive Summary.

Information for each of the seven sections of the report.  Failure to
provide requested information may be noted in the report to the
President.  For departments with agency subdivisions exceeding 1,000
employees, please provide information for both the department and the
individual agencies in the detailed report.

The name, telephone number, and e-mail address of at least two
individuals with whom we can correspond regarding OSH-related
activities, including your agency’s Designated Agency Safety and
Health Official (DASHO) and your agency’s safety and health
manager(s).  For departments with agency subdivisions with more than
1,000 employees, please provide contact information for both the
department and the agencies.

Please submit an official signed copy of your agency’s report to Diane
Brayden, Director, Office of Federal Agency Programs, at:

			U.S. Department of Labor - OSHA

Directorate of Enforcement Programs

Office of Federal Agency Programs

			Room N-3622

			200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

			Washington, DC  20210

Please also provide an electronic copy of your agency’s report in
Microsoft Word format to   HYPERLINK<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>.  Again, the due date for these submissions is January 1, 2008.

If there are circumstances that prevent you from submitting your report
by the due date, please contact Ms. Brayden at<PHONE_NUMBER>.  If your
report is not received or you do not request a reasonable extension by
the due date, your agency’s status may be reported as “report not
received” in the Secretary’s report to the President.

We look forward to continuing to provide leadership, guidance, and
support to help federal agencies accomplish their OSH responsibilities.
If you have any questions, need additional information or assistance
regarding this matter or would like an electronic copy of these
instructions, please feel free to contact OFAP at<PHONE_NUMBER>.  We
appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to receiving
your annual report.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0350; FRL-9950-73-Region 3]

Air Plan Approval; DC; Infrastructure Requirements for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct
final action to approve a revision to the District of Columbia (the
District) state implementation plan (SIP). Whenever new or revised
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) are promulgated, the
Clean Air Act (CAA) requires states to submit a plan for the
implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of such NAAQS. The plan is
required to address basic program elements including, but not limited
to, regulatory structure, monitoring, modeling, legal authority, and
adequate resources necessary to assure attainment and maintenance of
the standards. These elements are referred to as infrastructure
requirements. The District has made a submittal addressing the
infrastructure requirements for the 2012 annual fine particulate matter
(PM2.5) NAAQS. EPA is approving these revisions addressing
the infrastructure requirements for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS in
accordance with the requirements of the CAA.

DATES: This rule is effective on October 17, 2016 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by September 15,
2016. If EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform
the public that the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2016-0350 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be confidential business information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please
visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary of SIP Revision

    On December 28, 2015, the District submitted a formal SIP revision
to its SIP. The District's SIP revision submittal addresses the
following infrastructure elements for the implementation of the 2012
annual PM2.5 NAAQS: section 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C),
(D)(i)(I), (D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and
(M) of the CAA. The infrastructure SIP submittal does not address
section 110(a)(2)(I) which pertains to the nonattainment requirements
of part D, title I of the CAA, since this element is not required to be
submitted by the 3-year submission deadline of CAA section 110(a)(1),
and will be addressed in a separate process.

II. Summary of EPA's Rationale for Proposing Approval

    In accordance with 40 CFR part 51, appendix V, EPA found that the
District's December 28, 2015 infrastructure SIP submittal is
technically incomplete for the portions addressing the infrastructure
elements in section 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), and (J) relating
to the permitting program for prevention of significant deterioration
(PSD), because the District has not adequately addressed the
requirements of part C of title I of the CAA for having a SIP approved
PSD permit program. EPA found the remainder of the SIP submittal to be
administratively and technically complete. On May 11, 2016, EPA sent a
letter to the District Department of Environment and Energy (DDOEE)
notifying the District of this determination.
    As a result of this incompleteness finding, EPA is not taking
rulemaking action on the PSD related portions of section 110(a)(2)(C),
(D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), and (J) for the 2012 annual PM2.5
NAAQS, until the District through DDOEE submits a SIP to address the
PSD permit program requirements of part C of title I of the CAA. EPA
recognizes, however, that the District is

already subject to a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) containing the
federal PSD program to correct the SIP deficiency and that DDOEE would
not have to take further action for the FIP based permitting process to
continue operating, as incorporated by reference in the District SIP in
40 CFR 52.499.\1\ EPA's PSD FIP for the District consists of the
implementation of the federal PSD provisions as codified in 40 CFR
51.21, with the exception of paragraph (a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On August 7, 1980 (45 FR 52676, at 52741), EPA disapproved a
number of states SIPs for PSD purposes, including the District of
Columbia, and incorporated by reference portions of the federal PSD
provisions in 40 CFR 52.21 into the implementation plans for those
states. This FIP was subsequently amended to reflect amendments to
the federal PSD rule, on March 10, 2003 (68 FR 11316, at 11322) and
December 24, 2003 (68 FR 74483, at 74488). The PSD FIP is
incorporated by reference in the District SIP in 40 CFR 52.499.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA does not anticipate any adverse consequences to DDOEE as a
result of this incompleteness finding for the PSD related portions of
section 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), and (J) for the District's
2012 annual PM2.5 infrastructure SIP revision. First,
mandatory sanctions would not apply to the District under CAA section
179 because the failure to submit a PSD SIP is neither required under
title I part D of the CAA, nor in response to a SIP call under section
110(k)(5) of the CAA. Second, EPA is not subject to any further FIP
duty from our finding of incompleteness because of the PSD FIP that is
already been approved, which addresses the SIP deficiency.
    EPA finds that the remainder of the District's December 28, 2015
infrastructure submittal provides the basic program elements specified
in section 110(a)(2) of the CAA necessary to implement, maintain, and
enforce the 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. A detailed summary of
EPA's review and rationale for approving the District's infrastructure
SIP submittal for the 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS may be found
in the technical support document (TSD) for this rulemaking action
which is available on line at www.regulations.gov, Docket ID Number
EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0350.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the District's December 28, 2015 infrastructure
submittal for the 2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS as meeting the
requirements of section 110(a)(2) of the CAA, including specifically
section 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), (D)(i)(I), (D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), (E),
(F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and (M) for this NAAQS, with the
exception of the requirements related to the PSD permitting program of
part C, title I of the CAA in section 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II),
(D)(ii), and (J). This rulemaking does not include action on section
110(a)(2)(I) which pertains to the nonattainment planning requirements
of part D, title I of the CAA, because this element is not required to
be submitted by the 3-year submission deadline of section 110(a)(1) of
the CAA, and will be addressed in a separate process where necessary
and applicable. EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal
because EPA views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates
no adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of
today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that
will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse
comments are filed. This rule will be effective on October 17, 2016
without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by September
15, 2016. If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule
will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if
EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by October 17, 2016. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the

purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the
effectiveness of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this
direct final rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the
parallel notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the
proposed rules section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an
immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so
that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in
the proposed rulemaking action. This action which satisfies certain
infrastructure requirements of section 110(a)(2) of the CAA for the
2012 annual PM2.5 NAAQS for the District may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)
