Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. and I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation. I had smoked cigaretts for 26 years, and had tried many methods to quit, I.E. nicotine gum, patch, pills and nothing had lasting effects. my brother was also a smoker and had switched to E-Cigs and noticed it and asked many questions about it and why he switched. After many days of hesitation because of past failed attempts to quit by other means I too switched to E-Cigs and have been off cigaretts for 8 months now. Which is the longest time away from E-cigs. I had started at 18mg nicotine solution and now I am down to 6 and zero. I can Breathe a full deep breath without coughing and feel generally better. E-Cigs have saved my Life and can Help others as well. Please extend this comment period it will only benifit everyone.    I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0160; FRL-8130-6]

Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 on Corn; Temporary Exemption From
the Requirement of a Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes a temporary exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Aspergillus flavus NRRL
21882 on corn when applied aerially once per season at the first sign
of corn tasseling to reduce aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus.
Acta Group, 1203 Nineteenth St., NW., Suite 300, Washington, DC 20036-
2401 on behalf of Circle One Global, Inc. One Arthur St. P.O. Box 28,

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of March 21, 2007 (72 FR 13277-13279) (FRL-
8117-4), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide tolerance
petition (PP 6F7121) by Acta Group, 1203 Nineteenth St., NW., Suite
300, Washington, DC 20036-2401 on behalf of Circle One Global, Inc.
P.O. Box 28, Shellman, GA 39886-0028. The petition requested that 40
CFR part 180 be amended to include a temporary exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of Aspergillus flavus NRRL
21882 on corn. This notice included a summary of the petition prepared
by the petitioner Acta Group, on behalf of Circle One Global, Inc. No
comments were received in response to the Federal Register Notice.
    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe '' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Pursuant to section 408(c)(2)(B), in
establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in
section 408(b)(2)(C), which require EPA to give special consideration
to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue
in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. . . .''
Additionally, section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA requires that the Agency
consider ``available information concerning the cumulative effects of a
particular pesticide's residues'' and ``other substances that have a
common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from
aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. First, EPA determines the
toxicity of pesticides. Second, EPA examines exposure to the pesticide
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings.

III. Toxicological Profile

    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this

action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability and
the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children.
    Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 is a non-aflatoxin-producing fungal
active ingredient that will be used to displace the ubiquitous
Aspergillus flavus group of microbes, many of which can produce
aflatoxin, a potent carcinogen. The toxicological profile of this
conditionally registered active ingredient has been previously
described in the final rule of the Federal Register of June 30, 2004,
(69 FR 39341) (FRL-7364-2). On the basis of those studies, the
exemption from tolerance of Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882, a non-
aflatoxin-producing strain of Aspergillus flavus, on peanuts was
established in 40 CFR 180.1254.
    The acute toxicology oral studies placed Aspergillus flavus NRRL
21882 in Toxicity Category IV. This active ingredient was not toxic,
infective or pathogenic to mammals on the basis of acute oral,
pulmonary and intraperitoneal studies. That database supporting the
exemption from tolerance on peanut also supports the proposed temporary
exemption of this active ingredient on corn. For a summary of the
studies and discussions of dietary and non-dietary, non-occupational
dermal and inhalation exposures, as well as aggregate and cumulative,
exposures, and potential endocrine effects refer to the aforesaid June
30, 2004 final rule. All studies met the safety standards of the Food
Quality Protection Act of 1996. This pesticide has been used for more
than a decade in experimental laboratory and field trials without any
reports of adverse dermal irritation or hypersensitivity effects.
    The petitioner is now requesting that those studies be also used as
the basis to amend the tolerance exemption to include a temporary
exemption from tolerance for Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 on corn
during the Experimental Use Permit with EPA Registration Number (EPA
Reg. No.) 75624-EUP-2. The proposed two-year, non-crop destruct
Experimental Use Permit is for treatment of approximately 6,000 acres
of corn grown for grain in Texas at ten or 20 pounds of the End-use
Product (EP) aflaguard\R\ per acre.
    The Agency has determined that the studies do support the proposed
exemption from tolerance of Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 on corn.
Summaries of the rationales for this determination may be found in the
aforesaid Federal Register Final Rule of June 30, 2004. No further
toxicological data are required for this temporary exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 on corn.
The applicant must, however, report any incidents of hypersensitivity,
or any other adverse effects to comply with the requirements of Section
6(a)(2). Efficacy data to demonstrate that the pesticide does reduce
aflatoxin-producing Aspergillus flavus colonies and, concomitantly,
aflatoxin in corn, are required as part of the Experimental Use Permit.

IV. Aggregate Exposures

    In examining aggregate exposure, section 408 of the FFDCA directs
EPA to consider available information concerning exposures from the
pesticide residue in food and all other non-occupational exposures,
including drinking water from ground water or surface water and
exposure through pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or buildings
(residential and other indoor uses).

A. Dietary Exposure

    1. Food. The aforesaid final rule for the exemption from tolerance
for residues of Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 on peanut considered all
studies submitted by the applicant and found them to be acceptable.
    2. Drinking water exposure. Those data are also acceptable to
demonstrate that the proposed use of Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 on
corn will not harm the U.S. adult, infant and children population from
dietary exposure, including food, and drinking water. Percolation
through the soil and municipal treatment of drinking water are expected
to preclude exposure of the US population, infants and children to
residues of the pesticide.

B. Other Non-Occupational Exposure

    1. Dermal exposure. Dermal non-occupational exposure is expected to
be minimal to non-existent for the proposed use of Aspergillus flavus
NRRL 21882 on corn. The pesticide is to be applied to agricultural
sites not in the proximity of residential areas, schools, nursing homes
or daycares.
    2. Inhalation exposure. For the same reasons non-occupational
inhalation exposure to Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 is expected to be
minimal to non-existent.

V. Cumulative Effects

    Another non-aflatoxin-producing strain of Aspergillus flavus, AF36,
is registered, but not for use on corn. Cumulative effects of these
strains are not expected to exceed the risk cup for the registered
Aspergillus flavus strains, AF36 and NRRL 21882.

VI. Determination of Safety for U.S. Population, Infants and Children

    Based on the previously evaluated data, it is not necessary to use
a safety factor to determine safety to children June 30, 2004, (69 FR
39341).

VII. Other Considerations

A. Endocrine Disruptors

    See Federal Register, June 30, 2004, (69 FR 39341).

B. Analytical Method

    See Federal Register, June 30, 2004, (69 FR 39341).

C. Codex Maximum Residue Level

    There is no Codex Maximum Residue Level (MRL) for residues of
Aspergillus flavus NRRL 21882 on corn.

VIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408(d) of
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this rule is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April
23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations
under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers and food retailers, not States or tribes,

nor does this action alter the relationships or distribution of power
and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption
provisions of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has
determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect
on States or tribal governments, on the relationship between the
national government and the States or tribal governments, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government or between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus,
the Agency has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments
(65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000) do not apply to this rule. In addition,
This rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

IX. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

For occupational risks, discussion centered on aerial applications for alfalfa ( grown for seed) and orchard crops. In addition, there was a brief exchange regarding the reentry activities for alfalfa. Both EPA and Gowan acknowledged that hand harvesting ( considered a high end exposure activity) is not widely used. Usage data suggest that mechanical methods are more commonly used to harvest alfalfa.

[Docket No. FAA-2008-1007; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-135-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional
Jet Series 700, 701 & 702) Airplanes and Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional
Jet Series 900) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as: Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review
of the CL-600-2C10/CL-600-2D24 aircraft fuel system against new fuel
tank safety standards. The assessment showed that due to the close
proximity of intrinsically safe fuel system wiring with other wiring, a
single failure from wire chafing at various locations of the fuselage
could result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank. In addition,
chafing of the temperature sensor wiring against the high power wiring
in the avionics compartment could lead to overheating of the
temperature sensor and hot surface ignition. The presence of an
ignition source inside the fuel tank could result in a fuel tank
explosion.
    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 23,
2008.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2008-25, dated July 3, 2008 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''),
to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

    Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
CL-600-2C10/CL-600-2D24 aircraft fuel system against new fuel tank
safety standards, introduced in Chapter 525 of the Airworthiness
Manual through Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) 2002-043. The
identified non-compliances were assessed using Transport Canada
Policy Letter No. 525-001 to determine if mandatory corrective
action was required.
    The assessment showed that due to the close proximity of
intrinsically safe fuel system wiring with other wiring, a single
failure from wire chafing at various locations of the fuselage could
result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank. In addition,
chafing of the temperature sensor wiring against the high power
wiring in the avionics compartment could lead to overheating of the
temperature sensor and hot surface ignition. The presence of an
ignition source inside the fuel tank could result in a fuel tank
explosion.
    To correct the unsafe condition, this directive mandates the
installation of conduit and the addition of spacers to protect fuel
tank wiring.

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.
    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 requires certain type design (i.e.,
type certificate (TC) and supplemental type certificate (STC)) holders
to substantiate that their fuel tank systems can prevent ignition
sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement applies to type design
holders for large turbine-powered transport airplanes and for
subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It

requires them to perform design reviews and to develop design changes
and maintenance procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel
tank safety standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we
intended to adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found
necessary to address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these
reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    We have determined that the actions identified in this AD are
necessary to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel
tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result
in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 670BA-24-011, Revision C,
dated November 28, 2005. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 159 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 38 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $80 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $2,914 per product. Where
the service information lists required parts costs that are covered
under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these
costs. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties,
some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $946,686, or $5,954 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Bombardier, Inc. (Formerly Canadair): Docket No. FAA-2008-1007;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-135-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by October 23, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to the airplanes identified in paragraphs
(c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category.
    (1) Bombardier Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701,
& 702) airplanes, serial numbers 10003 through 10169 inclusive.
    (2) Bombardier Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900)
airplanes, serial numbers 15001 through 15030 inclusive.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24:
Electrical Power.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
CL-600-2C10/CL-600-2D24 aircraft fuel system against new fuel tank
safety standards, introduced in Chapter 525 of the Airworthiness
Manual through Notice of Proposed Amendment

(NPA) 2002-043. The identified non-compliances were assessed using
Transport Canada Policy Letter No. 525-001 to determine if mandatory
corrective action was required.
    The assessment showed that due to the close proximity of
intrinsically safe fuel system wiring with other wiring, a single
failure from wire chafing at various locations of the fuselage could
result in an ignition source inside the fuel tank. In addition,
chafing of the temperature sensor wiring against the high power
wiring in the avionics compartment could lead to overheating of the
temperature sensor and hot surface ignition. The presence of an
ignition source inside the fuel tank could result in a fuel tank
explosion.
    To correct the unsafe condition, this directive mandates the
installation of conduit and the addition of spacers to protect fuel
tank wiring.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 4,500 flight hours after the effective date of this
AD, modify the fuel system wiring along the fuselage and in the
avionics compartment by installing protective conduit and spacers,
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier
Service Bulletin 670BA-24-011, Revision C, dated November 28, 2005.
    (2) Actions done before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-24-011, dated
September 7, 2004; Revision A, dated December 14, 2004; or Revision
B, dated February 28, 2005; are acceptable for compliance with the
corresponding requirements of this AD.

FAA AD Differences

    Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: No differences.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, New
York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the authority to
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found
in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Rocco Viselli, Aerospace
Engineer, Airframe and Propulsion Branch, ANE-171, FAA, New York

Voluntary Consensus Standards Update; Formaldehyde Emission
Standards for Composite Wood Products

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: On March 29, 2022, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
proposed to update of the incorporation by reference of several
voluntary consensus standards in the Agency's formaldehyde standards
for composite wood products regulations under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA). Two additional voluntary consensus standards that
are incorporated by reference in the existing regulations were updated
by the issuing standards organization after the public comment period
for the March 29, 2022, proposed rule ended. EPA is now proposing to
update the incorporation by reference of the two additional voluntary
consensus standards in the formaldehyde standards for composite wood
products regulations.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 20, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2017-0245, through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions
for submitting comments. Do not submit electronically any information

     Professional organizations (NAICS code 813920).
    If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this
action, please consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    EPA is issuing this supplemental proposal pursuant to the authority
in section 601 of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2697, relating to formaldehyde
emission standards for composite wood products.

C. What action is the Agency taking?

    The Agency is issuing this proposed rule to supplement a recent
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Ref. 1). EPA is specifically soliciting
comment on the proposed inclusion of ANSI A208.1-2022 Particleboard and
ANSI A208.2-2022 Medium Density Fiberboard to update the incorporation
by reference (IBR) of these two voluntary consensus standards issued by
the Composite Panel Association (CPA) in 40 CFR 770.99 to reflect the
most recent editions. CPA updated these standards after EPA
incorporated them in 40 CFR 770.99 and after the proposed rule (87 FR
17963) was published on March 29, 2022. The supplemental proposed rule
would require regulated entities to adhere to the updated editions of
the voluntary consensus standards when complying with the requirements
of 40 CFR part 770.
    EPA is proposing to update the IBR of these two standards assembled
by CPA in 40 CFR 770.99 to reflect the most recent editions:
1. Particleboard (ANSI A208.1-2022)
    This standard was approved through the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) and describes the requirements and test methods for
dimensional tolerances, physical and mechanical properties and
formaldehyde emissions for particleboard, along with methods of
identifying products conforming to the standard. The ANSI standard was
last updated in June 2022 (Ref. 2). EPA is proposing to take action to
update the version of the standard incorporated by reference in 40 CFR
770.99 from ANSI A208.1-2016 to ANSI A208.1-2022.
2. Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) for Interior Applications (ANSI
A208.2-2022)
    This standard was approved through ANSI and describes the
requirements and test methods for dimensional tolerances, physical and
mechanical properties and formaldehyde emissions for MDF, along with
methods of identifying products conforming to the standard. The ANSI
standard was last updated in April 2022 (Ref. 3). EPA is proposing to
take action to update the version of the standard incorporated by
reference in 40 CFR 770.99 from ANSI A208.2-2016 to ANSI A208.2-2022.
3. Availability
    Copies of these materials may be obtained from the Composite Panel
Association, 19465 Deerfield Avenue, Suite 306, Leesburg, VA 20176, or
by calling<PHONE_NUMBER>, or at www.compositepanel.org.
    Additionally, as a result of the proposed inclusion of these two
standards, EPA is soliciting comment on the proposed update to 40 CFR
770.3 to reflect the proposed standards that would be incorporated by
reference in 40 CFR 770.99.

D. Why is the Agency taking this action?

    The Agency is proposing to adopt two voluntary consensus standards
for incorporation by reference at 40 CFR 770.99. This rulemaking would
update two voluntary consensus standards under 40 CFR 770.99 to their
current editions to address outdated, superseded, and withdrawn
standards that were updated after the proposed rule was published in
March 2022. These new updates are needed because outdated versions have
been replaced by these new standards. EPA is proposing to update these
voluntary consensus standards to reflect the current editions that are
in use by regulated entities and industry stakeholders. EPA believes
that this action is warranted to facilitate regulated entities using
the most up to date voluntary consensus standards to comply with the
regulation at 40 CFR part 770.

E. What are the incremental economic impacts?

    EPA anticipates no additional costs to stakeholders associated with
this supplemental proposal for updated standards. This supplemental
proposal is part of a routine action that updates voluntary consensus
standards referenced in the incorporation by reference section of the
regulation at 40 CFR part 770 to address updated, superseded, and
withdrawn versions of the referenced standards.

II. References

    The following is a list of the documents that are specifically
referenced in this document. The docket includes these documents and
other information considered by EPA, including documents that are
referenced within the documents that are included in the docket, even
if the referenced document is not physically located in the docket. For
assistance in locating these other documents, please consult the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

1. EPA. Voluntary Consensus Standards Update; Formaldehyde Emission
Standards for Composite Wood Products. Proposed Rule. Federal
Register. 87 FR 17963, March, 29, 2022 (FRL-8452-02).
2. American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ANSI A208.1-2022,
Particleboard.
3. ANSI. ANSI A208.2-2022, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) for
Interior Applications.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action under Executive
Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and was therefore not
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review under
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is defined in 5 CFR
1320.3(b). This action does not create any new reporting or
recordkeeping obligations. OMB previously approved the information
collection activities contained in the existing regulations and
assigned OMB control number 2070-0185 (EPA ICR No. 2446.03).

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The Agency certifies that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. In making this determination, EPA concludes
that the impact of concern is any significant adverse economic impact
on small entities, and the Agency is certifying that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities because the proposed rule will update incorporation by
reference of voluntary consensus standards in 40 CFR part 770 by
adopting the most current versions of those standards. The updated
versions of the standards are substantially similar to the previous
versions. EPA expects that many small entities are already complying
with the updated versions of the finalized standards. This action will
relieve these entities of the burden of having to also demonstrate
compliance with outdated versions of these standards.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local or tribal governments or the private sector.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). It will not have
substantial direct effects 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.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). It will not have
substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship
between the Federal government and the Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes. Thus, E.O. 13175 does not apply to this
action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that the Agency has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ``covered
regulatory action'' in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not
concern an environmental health risk or safety risk.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution
or use of energy and has not otherwise been designated by the
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a
significant energy action.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51

    This action involves voluntary standards under NTTAA section 12(d),
15 U.S.C. 272 note. EPA is proposing to adopt the use of ANSI A208.1-
2022 and ANSI A208.2-2022. Additional information about these

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    EPA believes that this action is not subject to Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because it does not establish an
environmental health or safety standard. This action will not
materially alter the final rule as published and will update existing
voluntary consensus standards incorporated by reference in the final
rule.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 770

    Environmental protection, Formaldehyde, Incorporation by reference,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Third-party certification,
Toxic substances, Wood.

    Dated: September 12, 2022.
