14619 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 2003 / Notices In reviewing delegation requests, EPA's role is to approve state capabilities, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus standards ( VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a delegation request for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a delegation request, to use VCS in place of a delegation request that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12( d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 ( 15 U. S. C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 ( 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq.). This information notice granting delegation of the Federal PSD program to Allegheny County issued under the authority of sections 101, 110, and 301 of the Clean Air Act, as amended ( 42 U. S.

Summary of Petitions The petitioner summary of the pesticide petitions is printed below as required by FFDCA section 408( d)( 3). The summary of the petitions was prepared by the petitioner and represent the views of the petitioner. The petition summary announces the availability of a description of the analytical methods available to EPA for the detection and measurement of the pesticide chemical residues or an explanation of why no such method is needed.

Interregional Research Project Number ( IR   4)

PP 2E6369, 2E6455, and 2E6493 EPA has received pesticide petitions ( 2E6369, 2E6455, and 2E6493) from the Interregional Research Project Number ( IR   4), 681 U. S. Highway # 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902, proposing, pursuant to section 408( d) of the FFDCA, 21 U. S. C. 346a( d), to amend 40 CFR 180.511 by establishing tolerances for residues of buprofezin in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: Lychee, logan, spanish lime, rambutan, and pulasan at 0.3 parts per million ( ppm) ( 2E6369); bean, snap, succulent at 0.02 ppm ( 2E6455); and pistachio at 0.05 ppm ( 2E6493). EPA has determined that the petitions contain data or information regarding the elements set forth in section 408( d)( 2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petitions. This summary has been prepared by Nichino American, Inc., Wilmington, DE 19808, the registrant.

A. Residue Chemistry 1. Plant metabolism. The metabolic profile of buprofezin has been elucidated in a wide range of crops, including tomatoes, lettuce, cotton, and citrus. In tomatoes, lettuce, and cotton unchanged buprofezin was the only significant residue. In citrus, besides buprofezin, the principal polar residue is a hexose conjugate of BF4 ( buprofezin hydroxylated in the t butyl group), which was resistant to enzyme hydrolysis. With acid hydrolysis of the polar fraction, BF26 was released, with minor amounts of BF9 and BF12. The same compounds were observed following acid hydrolysis of a standard of BF4, which clearly indicates that BF4 is the conjugated metabolite existing in citrus. Although only limited metabolism was observed in lettuce and cotton, trace levels of BF4/ BF26, BF9, and BF12 were observed indicating that the metabolic pathway does not differ with plant species. 2. Analytical method. Metabolism studies on lettuce and tomatoes have shown that the only significant residue in these crops is buprofezin. Development of the analytical method took place in parallel with the metabolism studies and the method was designed to quantify two metabolites ( BF9 and BF12) in addition to the parent compound. This method was used for analysis of samples from the field trials on all crops except citrus, but for tolerance enforcement only the parent compound is considered. 3. Magnitude of residues. The magnitude of residues is adequately understood and supports the proposed tolerances.

B. Toxicological Profile 1. Acute toxicity. An assessment of toxic effects caused by buprofezin is discussed in Unit III. A. and Unit III. B. of the Federal Register dated September 5, 2001 ( 66 FR 46382) ( FRL   6796   6). 2. Animal metabolism. The metabolism of buprofezin has been extensively studied in various species of animals and fish. Buprofezin has several groups that can metabolize in a variety of ways thus potentially producing a very large number of metabolites. Indeed extensive metabolism to many minor metabolites was observed in all the animal species. Metabolism in fish was, however, much more limited and clearly defined. Although not all metabolic intermediates have been detected in all the species, the major routes of metabolism have been identified in animals and fish and a consistent pattern is observed throughout these species. The proposed metabolic pathway was provided in the tolerance petition, PP 0F6087. For convenience, degradates are referred to by an internal code: BF 1 through 13. Corresponding chemical structures were provided in the tolerance petition, PP 0F6087. 3. Endocrine disruption. No special studies have been conducted to investigate the potential of buprofezin to induce estrogenic or other endocrine effects. The standard battery of required toxicity studies has been completed. These studies include an evaluation of the potential effects on reproduction and development and an evaluation of the pathology of the endocrine organs following repeated or long term exposure. These studies are generally considered to be sufficient to detect any endocrine effects. The only effect noted on endocrine organs was an increased incidence of follicular cell hypertrophy and C cell hyperplasia of the thyroid gland in rats administered buprofezin at dietary concentrations of 2,000 ppm for 24 months. Buprofezin also caused mild to moderate hepatotoxic effects at this dietary concentration. Nichino America, Inc. believes that the effect on the thyroid most likely resulted from increased turnover of T3/ T4 in the liver with a resultant rise in TSH secretion ( due to the hepatotoxicity). The rat is known to be much more susceptible than humans to these effects due to the very rapid turnover of thyroxine in the blood in rats ( 12 hours versus about 5 to 9 days in humans). Therefore, the thyroid pathological changes which have been noted following administration of high doses of buprofezin are considered to be of minimal relevance to human risk assessment, particularly considering the low levels of buprofezin to which humans are likely to be exposed.

C. Aggregate Exposure 1. Dietary exposure   i. Food. Chronic dietary exposure was estimated using Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEMTM) tolerance levels, and 100% crop treated, except for tomatoes with 40% of the crop treated. The chronic dietary exposure to the U. S. population ( total) was estimated as 0.001229 milligrams/ kilogram/ body weight/ day ( mg/ kg bwt/ day), and was 37% of the estimated reference dose ( RfD). Exposure to children ages 1 to 6, the highest exposed population subgroup, was 0.002393 mg/ kg bwt/ day ( 73% of the estimated RfD). ii. Drinking water. The residue of concern in drinking water was determined to be buprofezin. The potential exposure of buprofezin in drinking water abstracted from surface water was assessed using a Tier 2, modeling approach. EPA's Pesticide Root Zone Model ( PRZM) was used to generate potential runoff loads from a standardized agricultural field ( 10   hectare ( ha)) to a standardized aquatic system ( 1   ha 2   meters ( m) deep pond) following application of buprofezin to citrus ( the maximum proposed use rate for all crops). Exposure Analysis Modeling Systems ( EXAMS) was used to estimate the exposure concentration in surface water. The `` once in 10   year'' exceedance probability corresponded to a concentration at 0.52 part per billion ( ppb). This value refers to the 56   day average estimated concentration in a farm pond draining agricultural land and must be considered a gross overestimate of concentrations of buprofezin VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 19: 38 Mar 25, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 26MRN1. SGM 26MRN1 14622 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 58 / Wednesday, March 26, 2003 / Notices at the point of drinking water abstraction. 2. Non dietary exposure. Food uses described in these petitions are strictly agricultural and will not add to any residential non dietary exposure that may exist.

D. Cumulative Effects Section 408( b)( 2)( D)( v) requires that the Agency must consider `` available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residue and `` other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.'' Available information in this context include not only toxicity, chemistry, and exposure data, but also scientific policies and methodologies for understanding common mechanisms of toxicity and conducting cumulative risk assessments. For most pesticides, although the Agency has some information in its files that may turn out to be helpful in eventually determining whether a pesticide shares a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substances, EPA does not at this time have the methodologies to resolve the complex scientific issues concerning common mechanism of toxicity in a meaningful way. At the present time, there are insufficient data available to allow Nichino America, Inc. to properly evaluate the potential for cumulative effects with other pesticides to which an individual may be exposed. For the purposes of this assessment, therefore, Nichino America, Inc. has assumed that buprofezin does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with any other registered pesticides. Therefore, only exposure from buprofezin is being addressed at this time.

E. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population   i. Acute risk. To estimate acute aggregate exposure risk, the Agency combined the high end value from food and water and compared it to the acute population adjusted dose ( aPAD). Using the exposure assumptions discussed in this unit for acute exposure, the acute dietary exposure from food to buprofezin will occupy 4% of the aPAD for females 13 years and older ( no endpoint was identified for the general population including infants and children). In addition, there is potential for acute dietary exposure to buprofezin in drinking water. After calculating drinking water levels of concern ( DWLOCs) and comparing them to the estimated environmental concentrations ( EECs) for surface water and ground water, EPA does not expect the aggregate exposure to exceed 100% of the aPAD. ii. Chronic risk. Based on the toxicology data base and available information on anticipated residues, chronic dietary exposure to the U. S. population ( total) was 37% of the RfD. Exposure to potential residues in drinking water is expected to be negligible, as DWLOCs are substantially higher than modeled acute and longterm EECs. The margin of exposure ( MOE) from the limited potential for short term exposure from residential uses was > 1,000. Based on these assessments, it can be concluded that there is reasonable certainty of no harm to the U. S. population or any population subgroup from exposure to buprofezin. iii. Aggregate cancer risk for the U. S. population. In accordance with EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment ( proposed July 1999), the Agency's Cancer Assessment Review Committee has classified buprofezin as having suggestive evidence of carcinogenicity, but not sufficient to assess human carcinogenic potential, and further recommended that no quantification of cancer risk is required. 2. Infants and children. The chronic dietary exposure was 29% of the RfD for infants and 72% of the RfD for children ages 1 to 6. Exposure to potential residues in drinking water is expected to be negligible, as DWLOCs are substantially higher than modeled acute and long term EECs. The MOE from the limited potential for short term exposure from residential uses was > 1,000. Based on these assessments, it can be concluded that there is reasonable certainty of no harm to infants and children from exposure to buprofezin. Based on these risk assessments, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population and to infants and children from aggregate exposure to buprofezin residues.

F. International Tolerances Permanent CODEX maximum residue levels have been established for residues of buprofezin in cucumbers at 1.0 ppm, tomatoes at 1.0 ppm, and citrus at 0.5 ppm.

    Title: NSPS and NESHAP for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing Plants
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1160.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0114.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP were proposed on
February 7, 1984, and promulgated on February 25, 1985. These
regulations apply to each rotary spin wool fiberglass insulation
manufacturing line, which commenced construction, modification, or
reconstruction after February 2, 1984. The purpose of this NSPS is to
control the emissions of particulate matter from each rotary spin wool
fiberglass insulation manufacturing line. The standards limit
particulate emissions to 5.5 kilograms per megagram (11.0 lb./ton) of
molten glass used to manufacture the product.
    The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN
were proposed on March 31, 1997, and promulgated on June 14, 1999.
These regulations apply to each glass melting furnace located at a wool
fiberglass manufacturing plant;

each rotary spin (RS) manufacturing line producing building insulation;
each new and existing flame attenuation (FA) manufacturing line that
produces pipe products; and each new FA manufacturing line that
produces heavy density products. Plants that manufacture mineral wool
from rock or slag are not subject to the proposed rule but are subject
to a separate NESHAP standard for mineral wool production. A facility
that is determined to be an area source would not be subject to this
NESHAP standard. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP and 40 CFR part 63, subpart
NNN.
    In general, all NSPS and NESHAP standards require initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or
operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system
is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential
in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to
both the NSPS and NESHAP.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of 40 CFR part 60,
subpart PPP shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the
file for at least two years following the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN shall maintain a file of
these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years
following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and
records. All reports for both the NSPS and NESHAP are sent to the
delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such
delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 101
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing
Plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,216.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,599,551, that is comprised of no
capital costs, $489,000 in O&M costs and $1,110,551 in labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is low, negative or
non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in
the previous ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden
to industry.

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0607]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Delaware River, NJ

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the bascule span of the Tacony-Palmyra
Bridge (Route 73), across the Delaware River, mile 107.2, between the
townships of Tacony, PA and Palmyra, NJ. The deviation is necessary to
facilitate the replacement of the bridge deck. This deviation allows
the bridge to remain in the closed to navigation position during the
rehabilitation project.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 9 p.m. on Friday, August 16,
2013 until 9 p.m. on Friday, August 30, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation [USCG-2013-0607] is available

Manager, Docket Operations, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Burlington County Bridge Commission, who
owns and operates this bascule drawbridge, has requested a temporary
deviation from the current operating regulations to facilitate the
resurfacing of the bridge roadway.
    The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge (Route 73) at mile 107.2, across the
Delaware River, between PA and NJ, has a vertical clearance in the
closed position of 53 feet above mean high water (MHW). This clearance
will be reduced during the resurfacing by approximately three feet, to
50 feet above MHW.
    Under the current operating schedule set out in 33 CFR 117.5 and
117.716(b): The regulation requires that the drawbridge must open
promptly and fully for the passage of vessels when a request or signal
to open is given, and that the opening not be delayed more than five
minutes.
    Under this temporary deviation, the bridge will be closed-to-
navigation for resurfacing repairs, which will restrict the operation
of the draw span from 9 p.m. on August 16, 2013 until 9 p.m. August 30,
2013.
    Vessels that can pass under the bridge in the closed position may
do so at all times and are advised to proceed with caution. Emergency
openings cannot be provided. There are no alternate routes for vessels
transiting this section of the Delaware River.
    The Coast Guard has coordinated this with the Delaware Pilots, and
will inform the users of the waterways 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 impact caused by the
temporary deviation. Waterway traffic consists of freighters,
recreational boats, tugs, and barges.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On May 24, 2010, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled Drawbridge Operation Regulations Passaic River in the
Federal Register (75 FR 28766). We received no comments on the proposed
rule. No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

Basis and Purpose

    The Route 3 Bridge has a vertical clearance of 35 feet at mean high
water, and 40 feet at mean low water in the closed position. The
existing drawbridge operating regulations listed at 33 CFR 117.739(n),
require the bridge to open on signal after at least a 24-hour advance
notice is given by calling the number posted at the bridge.
    The existing Route 3 Bridge will soon be replaced with a new fixed
highway bridge on a different alignment because it is in poor condition
and must be replaced as soon as possible. A submarine utility
communication cable is presently located on the proposed alignment of
the new replacement bridge and will need to be temporarily relocated
during the construction of the new Route 3 highway bridge.
    The best alternative and least disruptive impact to the environment
is to temporarily relocate the communication cable to the underside of
the existing Route 3 Bridge. As a result of that temporary installation
of the communication cable, the existing Route 3 Bridge will not be
able to be opened for vessel traffic.
    The Route 3 Bridge has not received a request to open since 1998.
    On September 10, 2009, the bridge owner, New Jersey Department of
Transportation (NJDOT), requested a change to the drawbridge operation
regulations to allow the existing Route 3 Bridge to need not open for
the passage of vessel traffic in order to facilitate the temporary
installation of the communication cable and permit the new bridge
construction to commence.
    Once the new bridge construction is completed and the new bridge is
opened for vehicular traffic, the old existing Route 3 Bridge will be
removed.

Discussion of Comments and Changes

    The Coast Guard received no comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. As a result, no changes have been made to this
final rule.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. This conclusion is based upon the fact
that the Route 3 Bridge has not received a request to open since 1998.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. 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. This conclusion is based upon the fact that the Route 3
Bridge has not received a request to open since 1998.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), in the NPRM we offered to
assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could
better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking
process.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

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.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.
