II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a NPRM with respect to this rule
because it is impracticable. The Coast Guard did not receive the
application until August 14, 2017. After full review of the details for
the planned and locally advertised display, the Coast Guard has
determined that action is needed to protect people and property from
the safety hazards associated with the fireworks display on the Upper
Mississippi River (UMR) near St. Louis, MO. We must establish this
safety zone by September 30, 2017 and lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before
issuing the rule.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective
date of the rule is contrary to the public interest as it would delay
the effectiveness of the temporary safety zone needed to respond to
potential related safety hazards until after the planned fireworks
display.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards associated with the fireworks display
will be a safety concern before, during, and after the display. The
purpose of this rule is to ensure safety of vessels and the navigable
waters in the safety zone before, during, and after the scheduled
event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on
September 30, 2017. The safety zone will cover all navigable waters
between mile marker (MM) 180 and MM 180.5 on the UMR in St. Louis, MO.
Exact times of the closures and any changes to the planned schedule
will be communicated to mariners using Broadcast and Local Notice to
Mariners. The safety zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels
and these navigable waters before, during and after the fireworks
display. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-year of the safety zone. This temporary
final rule establishes a safety zone impacting a half mile area on the
UMR for a limited time period of two hours. During the enforcement
period, vessels are prohibited from entering into or remaining within
the safety zone unless specifically authorized by the COTP or other
designated representative. Based on the location, limited safety zone
area, and short duration of the enforcement period, this rule does not
pose a significant regulatory impact. Additionally, notice of the
safety zone or any changes in the planned schedule will be made via
Broadcast and Local Notice to Mariners. Entry into this safety zone may
be requested from the COTP or other designated representative and will
be considered on a case-by-case basis.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A. above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding these rules. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule involves a safety zone lasting two hours that will prohibit entry
from mile 180 to 180.5 on the UMR on September 30, 2017. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30912; Amdt. No. 3547]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective August 12, 2013. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of August 12, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Programs
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore-- (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);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory

evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same
reason, the FAA certifies that this amendment will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Cape May County Department of Public Works,
owner of the drawbridge, has requested on behalf of Morey's Piers of
Wildwood, a temporary deviation from the current operating schedule to
accommodate the ``The Wild Half'' half marathon.
    The existing drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.721. On the day of the event, the normal operating schedule for the
Grassy Sound Channel Bridge (Ocean Drive) is open on signal from 6 a.m.
to 8 p.m. with a two hours advance notice at all other times.
    Under this temporary deviation, the drawbridge will be allowed to
remain in the closed to navigation position from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
on Saturday, May 18, 2014 to accommodate ``The Wild Half'' half
marathon. The bridge will operate under its normal operating schedule
at all other times. Log books indicate there have been no opening
requests during this yearly event in 4 years and waterway users are
accustomed to the temporary closure.
    The Grassy Sound Channel Bridge (Ocean Drive) across the Grassy
Sound has a vertical clearance in the closed position of 15 feet above
mean high water. Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed
position may do so at anytime and are advised to proceed with caution.
The bridge will be able to open for emergencies. The New Jersey
Intracoastal Waterway is an alternate route for vessels transiting this
area and vessels may pass before and after the closure. The Coast Guard
will also inform additional waterway users through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the closure period for the bridge so
that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any impacts caused
by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge 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.

    Dated: January 10, 2014.

B. Background

    Under section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator
identifies and lists certain pollutants which ``cause or contribute to
air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public
health or welfare.'' The EPA then issues air quality criteria for
listed pollutants, which are commonly referred to as ``criteria
pollutants.'' The air quality criteria are to ``accurately reflect the
latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind and extent of
all identifiable effects on public health or welfare which may be
expected from the presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient air, in
varying quantities.'' Under section 109 of the CAA, EPA establishes
NAAQS for each listed pollutant, with the NAAQS based on the air
quality criteria. Section 109(d) of the CAA requires periodic review
and, if appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria. The
revised air quality criteria reflect advances in scientific knowledge
on the effects of the pollutant on public health or welfare. The EPA is
also required to periodically review and revise the NAAQS, if
appropriate, based on the revised criteria.
    Lead is one of six criteria pollutants for which EPA has
established air quality criteria and NAAQS. Presently, EPA is reviewing
the air quality criteria and NAAQS for lead.
    As part of its review of the lead NAAQS, EPA is considering
revising the associated monitoring requirements (contained in 40 CFR
parts 50, 53, and 58). On December 12, 2007, an advanced notice of
proposed rulemaking (ANPR) was published (72 FR 71488). The ANPR
identified a number of potential revisions to the lead monitoring
requirements. CASAC conducted a review of the ANPR in December 2007,
and submitted a final letter on January 22, 2008 (EPA-CASAC-08-007)
providing CASAC's advice and recommendations to the Agency on the
policy options discussed in the ANPR. One of CASAC's recommendations
was that a more detailed review of the monitoring issues should be
conducted by the CASAC AAMM Subcommittee.
    In this notice, EPA is announcing the availability of technical
documents that provide useful information regarding a number of issues
pertinent to the monitoring requirements for the Pb NAAQS.
Specifically, these documents discuss the Pb NAAQS indicator options
being considered, specifications and rationale for a Federal Reference
Method (FRM) and Federal Equivalency Method (FEM) criteria, potential
network design requirements, and potential revisions to the monitoring
sampling frequency. The technical documents will be available online
at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/standards/pb/s_pb_cr_td.html on or
before March 3, 2008.
    The EPA is soliciting advice and recommendations from the CASAC
AAMM Subcommittee by means of consultation at an upcoming public
teleconference of the CASAC AAMM Subcommittee. A separate Federal
Register notice will inform the public of the date and phone number for
the public teleconference. Following the CASAC AAMM Subcommittee public
teleconference, EPA will consider comments received from the CASAC AAMM
Subcommittee and the public in formulating any decisions regarding
proposed revisions to the lead monitoring requirements as part of the
lead NAAQS rulemaking.

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT:	Amendment to the New Oilseed Crop Group 20 (40 CFR § 180.41
(c) to Add Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) as a New Member of the
Crop Group for ChemSAC Review.  MRID 467896-01.

FROM:	Bernard A. Schneider, Ph.D., Senior Plant Physiologist

Health Effects Division (7509P)

THROUGH:	William Donovan, Ph.D., Chairperson

HED Chemistry Science Advisory Council (ChemSAC)

		Health Effects Division (7509P)

		Rame Cromwell, FEAD (7506P)

TO:	Barbara Madden, Minor Use Officer

Risk Integration, Minor Use, and Emergency Response Branch (RIMUERB)

		Registration Division (7505P)

BACKGROUND AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

	It was brought to our attention in the USDA IR-4 ChemSAC Proposal for
S-Metolachlor and Diquat Bromide Use in Calendula officinalis for
Nonfood Use Seed Production, May 5, 2009 that Calendula would be an
appropriate crop to add to the ChemSAC approved Oilseed crop group 20
(January 12, 2007).  The Federal Register Notice is being prepared to
codify the Oilseed crop group.  The timing is optimal for approving
Calendula to be a member of the Oilseed crop group.  The oilseed crop
group not only will provide a benefit to our growers but also provides
commodities that not only have beneficial edible food and feed items,
nutritional and medicinal uses, cosmetic and industrial uses in paints,
etc but an opportunity to develop oilseeds as biofuels to benefit U.S.
and Canada alternatives to fossil fuels.

	I will discuss the Calendula crop and why I recommend that it would be
a good addition to the Oilseed crop group.  I have added information
from Kathryn Homa’s well documented report and references, and input
and documents from Neal Boughton, Director of Agronomy for Technology
Crops Ltd., based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.  In addition
references from the USDA Agricola and CRIS database are included.  Also
a separate presentation modified from Neal Boughton is provided in a
separate PowerPoint presentation.

HED Recommendation for Proposal to Add Calendula to the Oilseed Crop
Group:

	I recommend ChemSAC concur to add Calendula to the Oilseed Crop Group
and the Sunflower subgroup 20-09B based on its similarities in cultural
practices, geographical location, pest problems, oil uses, and
similarities to other members of the oilseed group.

ABBREVIATED ANALYSIS:

BOTANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED COMMODITY:

	Calendula is an annual flower that originated in southern Europe and
the Eastern Mediterranean area.  Currently, this plant is widely grown
in the United States mostly as an ornamental flower and is grown in USDA
Plant hardiness zones 2 – 9.

	Calendula is a member of the Asteraceae family which includes the
following oilseeds: Sunflower, safflower, stokes aster, Niger seed, and
vernonia.

	The exposure of the crop to pesticides would be similar to sunflower,
since the flowers and seed heads are exposed.  	The other members of the
Sunflower subgroup 20B are based on whether the seeds are partially
exposed to pesticides applied during the growing season.  The members of
this subgroup include:

Castor oil plant, Chinese tallowtree, Euphorbia, Evening primrose,
Jojoba, Niger seed, Rose hip, Safflower, Stokes aster, Sunflower,
Tallowwood, Tea oil plant, and Vernonia.

	Utilization of all these oilseed crops is similar in that they are
grown for their oil, seed and meal.  Calendula has potential for
industrial uses and for edible refined oil.  For now most of the work is
being conducted on Calendula as a replacement for tung oil which is a
paint additive.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF CALENDULA

	Calendula growth stages are very similar to the sunflower (See Table 4
Selected Growth Stages of Sunflower Using BBCH Identification Codes in
Schneider, B. A. 2007. Crop Grouping Part IV Oilseed Crop Group
Analysis, MRID 467896-01, January 8).  Days to first flower vary from 50
– 75 days.  Flowering starts middle of June and flowers vary from 1.5
– 3.5 cm.  Flowers may be orange or yellow.  The plant reaches 40 to
85 cm tall during the season.  The seeds will ripen in early August with
harvesting from August 1 – 15.  In Canada research trials in prairie
areas  had calendula flowering at 51 – 75 days and maturing at 144
days and mean seed yields of 216 kg/ha and harvesting from August –
early September.  Average calendic acid content of the seed is 45 – 50
% under dryland conditions.

GEOGRAPHICAL DISRTIBUTION OF CALENDULA:

	Calendula is widely adapted to areas of the U.S since it has ornamental
uses and has been grown for many years.  It has been widely research and
developed as an industrial oilseed in many European countries, funded by
National Governments and the European Union, to support and develop new
oil crop species.  Canada has also researched this crop and it is being
grown in Montana and Canada.  Requirement limiting oilseed production is
being near an oilseed processing facility.  Due to the success of
Calendula in Europe, contract production of Calendula is beginning in
the United States and Canada.  Currently, Technology Crops Ltd, a
company that contracts the growing of many specialty oil crops including
high oleic sunflowers and high erucic acid rapeseed, is looking to
contract the production of Calendula in the state of Minnesota.

CALENDULA CULTURAL PRACTICES AND CROP ROTATIONS:

	Calendula should be planted when soil temperatures are > 46° F and the
seeds germinate rapidly.  It can be planted as part of a no-till or
conventional till system at ½ - ¾ inch deep and row widths similar to
cereals with 6 – 7 plants per sq. ft.  Seeds are planted with a grain
drill at rate of 7 – 12 kg/ha and a plant population of 40 – 60
plants/m³.  The rows are 12 – 25 cm wide but can vary up to 50 cm.

	The soil needs to be a sandy loam to medium clays soil with the
following climatic factors:

   Average minimum temperature 45 - 55 F

Average maximum temperature 60 - 76 F

Average rainfall of 11/2 to 2 inches/month

Calendula has a higher frost tolerance than flax.

CROP ROTATION SYSTEMS:

	Calendula can be in a crop rotation system with cereals grains,
soybeans, or fallow.

CALENDULA PEST PROBLEMS:

	Very similar to other oilseed members of the Asteraceae family
including annual grasses and broadleaf weeds that reduce yields and
prevent proper growth and can contribute to seed contamination at
harvest.  Plant diseases such as powdery mildew, Botrytis and
Sclerotinia are a problem as well as aster yellows.  Insects such moth
larvae (Heliothis), cabbage loppers, and blister beetles have sometimes
been a problem as well as the soybean cyst nematode.

CALENDULA HARVESTING AND PROCESSING:

	Another major constraint in maximizing Calendula oilseed production
occurs at harvest time.  Due to variations in Calendula seed maturity,
harvesting for oilseed production is quite difficult.  Many growers face
a situation where some seeds have reached maturity, while other seeds
remain immature.  Waiting for all seeds in the field to dry can lead to
seed shedding and a significant reduction in yield.  In order to harvest
the oilseed properly, the use of a desiccant prior to combining was
shown to result in less seed loss compared to windrowing.  Use of a
desiccant may solve the harvesting problems.  Like all oilseeds it needs
to be stored at 9 % moisture.  Yields may vary from 0.7 – 9 T/ha at 91
% DM and oil percent will vary from 14.2 – 19.2%.  The crop needs to
be swathed at present due to lack of chemical desiccant approvals when
80 % of seed heads are brown and with a combine.  Mechanical harvesting
is used for all the oilseed crops including calendula, none are hand
harvested, and grain combines are adapted to planting and harvesting.

COMPARISON OF POTENTIAL RESIDUE LEVELS:

	Magness, Markle, and Compton in 1971 classified food and feed crops
based on predicting the potential for pesticide residues based on
exposure of the edible parts to applied pesticides, which led to the
development of the crop groups.  The oilseeds were classified in the
Edible Food Oil Crop Category I and II.  Category I and II includes the
food oil crops in which the source of oil is the seeds.  Category I
include oilseeds that have the seed protected in a pod like canola.
Category II oil crops have the seeds partially exposed during
development and include sunflower and safflower, and calendula is
similar to this category, so all would be members of the Sunflower
subgroup 20B with sunflower as the representative commodity.  One would
expect pesticide residues to be similar in most of the members of the
oilseed crop group, and distinct oilseed crop subgroups may be based on
potential of residue to be deposited on the seed.

CALENDULA OIL USES:

Calendula oil can be used for medicinal purpose, dyes, and food purposes
including garnishes, butters, flavorings and colorings, and it has
recently gained popularity as an oilseed crop for industrial use.
Research in the last ten years in Europe has shown that calendula offers
the most immediate prospect of commercialization of many oilseeds and
can be used in a number of valuable non-food use products including
paints, coatings and some industrial nylon products.  It can also be
used as a replacement for Tung oil which has to be imported and is
expensive and getting harder to obtain.  Calendula oil, which makes up
40 to 46% of the seed, contains 50 - 55% highly conjugated calendic acid
(octadeca-8,10:12-trienoic acid) and 28 - 30% non-conjugated linoenic
acid.  It has been discovered that the calendic fatty acid in this plant
is the “most rapidly oxidized fatty acid known in nature and has an
extensive number of applications in the plastics, paints and coatings
industries”   Tung oil, which contains high levels of polyunsaturated
fatty acids, currently serves as the reactive component in fast drying
paints.  Used widely in Europe in paints and inks, “5,000 tons of tung
oil is imported annually into the UK from China and South America at
prices between $1,200 and $2,300”   It has been found that Calendula
oil may be able to replace the “erratic” supply of tung oil in the
future.  Calendula is also important in the oil-based paint industry, as
it is a “diluents of white spirit, the volatile drying component that
may soon be limited by legislation as it releases volatile organic
compounds into the atmosphere”  Replacing these harmful compounds in
paints and inks with calendula oil-based paints can result in less
ground-level ozone levels and smog.

OTHER HED CONSIDERATIONS FOR CALENDULA:

CHANGES TO EPA DATABASES:

The proposed new Oilseed Crop Group 20 will affect the need to update
many Risk Assessment Models, Residue Chemistry Guidelines, OPP
databases, and/or HED Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).

HED SOP 2000.1 – “  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Guidance for Translation of
Field Trial Data from Representative Commodities in the Crop Group
Regulation to Other Commodities in Each Crop Group/Subgroup” issued
September 12, 2000.

There is no guidance in the SOP for the new Oilseed crop group, so the
following guidance for translation of the representative commodities to
other members of the subgroup will be provided below:

	The proposed new translations of field trials from the representative
commodities to other commodities in the Sunflower subgroup 20B would be
as follows:

Crop Subgroup 20B:  Sunflower subgroup

Representative Commodity:  Sunflower

CODEX CLASSIFICATION OF PROPOSED COMMODITIES AND EPA FOOD AND FEED
COMMODITY VOCABULARY:

	Calendula is not in the Oilseed crop group for Codex.  The ICGCC will
submit calendula to be added to the Codex crop 23.  Codex has marigold
flowers HH 737 herbs and spices same scientific names.  The US also has
the same scientific name for marigold in the Herb and Spice group 19.
The genus Tagetes contains most of the marigolds used for its petals in
poultry feed.  The oilseed Calendula will not be used for poultry feed.

TOLERANCE EXPRESSION GUIDANCE:

	Until the Federal Register Notice is issued revising the Crop Group
Regulation to establish the new Oilseed Crop Group 20 with three Crop
subgroups the commodities approved for the crop group and subgroups will
have to be listed as separate commodities at the same tolerance level.
This also applied to the new Crop subgroups, the individual commodities
will have to be listed separately with each at the same tolerance level.
 The ChemSAC approved crop group is sent to the Risk Integration, Minor
Use, and Emergency Response Branch (RIMUERB) of the Registration
Division can immediately implement the new Crop Group and Crop Subgroups
with new tolerance expressions located in the Section F submissions.
The tolerance expression examples will provide an expedited way to
establish tolerances in or on oilseed crops, especially for new reduced
risk pesticides, without requiring additional residue data for all the
crops noted.  This will create a practice in the United States which is
already formalized in Canada and promote international harmonization.
Several tolerance expression examples for guidance purposes for use by
RIMUERB and HED reviewers will be listed below:

Example 1:  How will the Crop group and subgroups appear in the Federal
Register for the proposed crop group regulation [40CFR 180.41(c)]?  This
example is for the Field and External Affairs Division (FEAD) use in
preparing the new Federal Register Regulation.  The example follows the
same format as the current Crop Grouping Regulation Federal Register
Notice (FR 60, No.95, 5/17/95, 26626-26643).

Answer to Example 1:

“Crop Group 20: Oilseed Crop Group.

Representative commodities.  Rapeseed, canola varieties only; sunflower,
and cottonseed, undelinted seed.

Table.  The following Table 1 lists all the commodities listed in Crop
Group 20 and identifies the related crop subgroups and includes
cultivars, hybrids, and/or varieties of these commodities.

CROP MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR UNIQUE OILSEED AND LEGUME CROPS FOR THE NC
REGION OF NORTH DAKOTA

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY: No information on best management practices for
new alternative crops and soybeans exists for this area of North Dakota.
This project will determine the best seeding dates for borage, camelina,
and calendula. We will also determine the best row spacing, seeding
rate, and tillage system for soybean production in western North Dakota.

OBJECTIVES: Determine the effects of seeding date on character
expression and performance of borage, calendula, and camelina in North
Dakota. Determine the effect of swathing time on seed shatter and yield
of borage. Determine the effect of row spacing, population and tillage
system on the performance of soybeans.

APPROACH: Will research five seeding dates to determine the best seeding
date for borage, camelina, and calendula. The seeding dates will range
from May 1 to June 15

HORTICULTURAL CROP PRODUCTION

Many small-to-medium sized Montana agricultural producers are turning to
high-value essential oil crops and medicinal and culinary herbs to
diversify their farming operations and increase income in the face of
declining returns for traditional commodities. There is currently little
information available regarding cultural practices for specialty crops
grown in Montana's climate. The purpose of this research is to provide
agricultural producers with information about production practices for
specialty crops in Montana. Biological plant disease control is
emphasized.

submitting comments to a federal advisory committee is different from
the process used to submit comments to an EPA program office. Federal
advisory committees provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the
public may submit comments on matters being considered by the EFAB for
consideration as the Board develops its advice and recommendations to
EPA.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to three minutes
each. Persons interested in providing oral statements at the March 2022
meeting virtually via webcast should register in advance and provide
notification, as noted in the registration confirmation, by March 22,
2022, to be placed on the list of registered speakers.
    Written Statements: Written statements should be received by March
22, 2022, so that the information can be made available to the EFAB for
its consideration prior to the meeting. Written statements should be
sent via email to [email protected]. Members of the public should be aware
that their personal contact information, if included in any written
comments, may be posted to the EFAB website. Copyrighted material will
not be posted without explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities or to request accommodations for a
disability, please register for the meeting and list any special
requirements or accommodations needed on the registration form at least
10 business days prior to the meeting to allow as much time as possible
to process your request.
