    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://
www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The filings in the above proceedings are accessible in the
Commission's eLibrary system by clicking on the appropriate link in the
above list. They are also available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an eSubscription link
on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail notification

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


                                 Working Group
                           Agriculture & Food #3
                            Action Plan Initiative
                           Crop Protection Products
                              Deliverable outcome
Identify mechanisms to encourage registrants to submit applications for joint regulatory review to Canada and the US that include increased numbers of minor uses. This will help facilitate equal access to products and uses in both countries, as well as align maximum residue limits (MRLs)/tolerances where possible, in cases where the application is based on data generated with Canadian or US government support on minor uses and specialty crops. The goal is to facilitate equal access to effective means of pest control in both countries as well as to align MRLs whenever possible.
                               Task team members
                               Marion Law, PMRA
                                Lois Rossi, EPA
                              Manjeet Sethi, PMC
                               Jerry Baron, IR-4
                                 Action Items

Action Item 1: Encourage Joint Submission of Use Expansions and Fully Aligned Labels

Building on the already established process of joint EPA/PMRA pesticide reviews, and in order to eliminate technology gaps and trade irritants, PMRA and EPA will work toward the simultaneous receipt of fully aligned labels and submission packages and the development of one joint submission workplan for all actions related to use expansions.

Action Item 2:  Develop Joint Guidelines for Residue Trials

To maximize the reliance on and acceptance of food safety data generated in either country to support regulatory decisions, PMRA and EPA will develop joint guidelines for generation of residue field trial studies.

Ultimately, each country/agency could accept the other's review; and the review  would result in concurrent, aligned
decisions

Action Item 3: Address Obstacles to Joint Registration

Building on already established cooperation on the joint review of pesticides, PMRA and EPA will eliminate regulatory obstacles preventing the joint submission of pesticide applications into the US and Canada by identifying flexibilities in regulatory processes and procedures, enhancing the use of existing tools to measure progress, and developing new opportunities to align EPA and PMRA work and workplans.

Action Item 4:  Align Data Collection Processes/Procedures for Residue Trials

In order to support increased numbers of joint reviews of minor use expansions in PMRA and the EPA, PMC and IR-4 will align priorities and procedures to the fullest extent possible, including data collection and reporting processes and workplans.

As for Action Item 2, this alignment would  mean that either PMC or IR-4 could lead the development of the residue data; each country/agency could accept the other's review; and the review  would result in concurrent, aligned decisions (either registration and MRLs in both countries, or registration and MRL in one country with an MRL in the other).

                             Interim Deliverables
                                  3-6 Months

Tasks:

* Conduct outreach (e.g., a summit) to registrant community to discuss the joint submission of use expansions.  The summit would include such topics as:
      o       Identification of barriers;
      o       Potential incentives;
      o       Submission of shared labeling (NAFTA label);
      o       Joint planning; and
      o       Formal submission processes.
   EPA and PMRA

* Initiate the planning and submission of a pilot application of an aligned joint submission for a use expansion that includes a significant number of minor uses and domestic and import MRLs/ tolerances.  Pilot application will use IR-4/PMC data.   EPA, PMRA, IR-4, PMC

Tasks:

* Review existing and ongoing work to determine highest value priorities for future joint review of use expansions. PMRA and EPA

* Continue the development of harmonized crop groups to leverage least amount of data to the maximum number of crops/uses.  PMRA, EPA, IR-4, and PMC

* Establish a PMRA/EPA workgroup to explore the concept of proportionality of pesticide residues. PMRA and EPA
Tasks:

* Initiate analysis of current registration in each country to identify areas that are not aligned, including submission formats, application forms, product specification forms. PMRA and EPA

* Identify guidance documents, directives, and policies which could be revised to align registration processes which occur in both Canada and US.  (See also  Action Item 2  -  registrant community outreach) PMRA and EPA

* Develop a process/strategy/governance structure for addressing roadblocks, elevating issues, and working through barriers.  These barriers can include disharmonized processes and/or differences in decisions, policies, regulations and laws. PMRA and EPA

* Explore further aligning positions to Codex.   PMRA and EPA

Tasks:
* Initiate gap analysis of data collection procedures to identify key differences. PMRA, EPA, PMC and IR-4:
      o Identify differences between US and Canadian study protocols and final residue reports.
      o Confirm adoption of OECD field trial template for final study report.

* Initiate alignment of workplan for joint projects for joint review by EPA/PMRA PMC and IR-4:

[Docket No. OSHA-H005C-2006-0870]
RIN 1218-AB76

Occupational Exposure to Beryllium; Further Delay of Effective
Date

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of
Labor.

ACTION: Final rule; further delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On January 9, 2017, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) published a rule entitled ``Occupational Exposure
to Beryllium'' with an effective date of March 10, 2017 (``Beryllium
Final Rule''). OSHA subsequently delayed the effective date of the
Beryllium Final Rule to March 21, 2017 (February 1, 2017) and proposed
to further delay the effective date to May 20, 2017 (March 2, 2017).
This action finalizes that proposal. The additional time will allow
OSHA the opportunity for further review of the new Beryllium Final
Rule, including review of concerns that commenters raised, and is
consistent with the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant
to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ``Regulatory Freeze
Pending Review.''

DATES: As of March 21, 2017, the effective date of the final rule
amending 29 CFR parts 1910, 1915, and 1926 that published in the
Federal Register of January 9, 2017 at 82 FR 2470, delayed at 82 FR
8901 on February 1, 2017, is further delayed to May 20, 2017.

ADDRESSES: In accordance with 28 U.S.C. 2112(a), the Agency designates
Ann Rosenthal, Associate Solicitor of Labor for Occupational Safety and
Health, Office of the Solicitor of Labor, Room S-4004, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210, to receive
petitions for review of this action.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank Meilinger, Director, Office of
Communications, Room N-3647, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, 200
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210; telephone (202) 693-
1999; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSHA promulgated the Beryllium Final Rule on
January 9, 2017 with an effective date of March 10, 2017 (82 FR 2470).
On February 1, 2017, OSHA delayed the effective date of the rule to
March 21, 2017 (82 FR 8901). OSHA promulgated the extension consistent
with the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the
President and Chief of Staff, entitled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending
Review'' (82 FR 8346; January 24, 2017) (``Memorandum''), which
contemplated temporarily postponing for 60 days the effective dates of
all regulations that had been published in the Federal Register but had
not yet taken effect, absent certain inapplicable exceptions.
    In addition, the Memorandum directed agencies to consider further
delaying the effective date for regulations beyond that 60-day period.
After further review, OSHA preliminarily determined that it was
appropriate to further delay the effective date of the Beryllium Final
Rule, for the purpose of further reviewing questions of fact, law, and
policy raised therein. Therefore, consistent with the Memorandum, OSHA
proposed to further delay the effective date of the Beryllium Final
Rule to May 20, 2017 (82 FR 12318; March 2, 2017). Finalization of the
proposed delay of the effective date would not affect the compliance
dates of the Beryllium Final Rule.
    OSHA received twenty-five unique comments on its proposal to extend
the effective date by 60 days to May 20, 2017. Several commenters
supported the proposal. (e.g., Document ID 2048; 2049; 2050; 2051.)
Many of these commenters indicated that they supported the delay
considering the ongoing transition to a new administration. (See
Document ID 2058; 2052.) Some commenters supported the proposed
extension and requested that OSHA further review the impact of the
standards on entities which would be affected by changes from the
proposed beryllium rule. (Document ID 2051; 2055; 2068.) Congressman
Byrne, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, among
others, urged OSHA to delay the effective date beyond the proposed 60
days or even indefinitely and re-propose the Beryllium Final Rule
(Document ID 2064; 2067), citing concerns with the rule's coverage of
abrasive blasting operations under the construction and shipyard
standards. OSHA also received approximately 2,500 comments with nearly
identical messages, urging the Agency to adopt the proposal and delay
the effective date, particularly for the construction and shipyards
standards. (See, e.g., Document ID 2072.) Several commenters opposed
the proposal and argued in favor of keeping the effective date of March
21, 2017, stating that the Beryllium Final Rule was long overdue, based
on sound science, and that all interested parties had the opportunity
to participate in the rulemaking. (See, e.g., Document ID 2053; 2054;
2059; 2061; 2062.)
    After carefully reviewing these comments, OSHA believes commenters
have raised substantive concerns, including about the Beryllium Final
Rule's treatment of the construction and shipyard industries, as
suggested by Congressman Byrne. Thus, OSHA has decided to adopt the
proposal and delay the effective date by an additional 60 days to May
20, 2017 to further evaluate the Beryllium Final Rule in light of those
substantive concerns. The Agency has determined that 60 days will
provide adequate time to review the rule and consider the issues raised
without hindering protections of workers affected by the rule because
the delay of the effective date does not alter the Beryllium Final
Rule's compliance dates.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on March 16, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health.

    Abstract: Section 1453(a)(3) of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
required States to submit a Source Water Assessment Program within 18
months after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published
its State Source Water Assessment and Protection Programs Guidance:
Final Guidance. Upon EPA approval of their programs, States conducted
source water assessments of their public water systems. State
assessments were required to be completed three and a half years after
approval of a state's program; the assessment program is therefore
complete relative to the SDWA requirements. The burden and cost
associated with all of the assessment was accounted for in three
previous information collection requests (EPA ICR Nos. 1816.01,
1816.02, and 1816.03).
    The 2006-2011 EPA Strategic Plan incorporates a source water
contamination prevention measure to describe the voluntary source water
protection (SWP) actions taken at the local or regional level based on
the results of completed source water assessments. EPA's strategic
target for SWP sets a goal of minimized risk to public health in 50
percent of community water systems (CWSs) and the 62 percent of the
U.S. population served by those CWSs by 2011. Achieving minimized risk
to public health focuses on developing and substantially implementing
SWP strategies to address potential contamination risks within each CWS
source water area.
    EPA is collecting, on a voluntary basis, data from the States on
their progress toward substantial implementation of prevention
strategies for all CWS SWAs. While Section 1453(a)(3) of the SDWA does
not authorize source water protection, States are encouraged to use the
data collected in the source water assessments to develop protection
plans for source water areas. Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
monies authorized in Section 1452(g)(2)(B) may be used for activities
to support efforts in source water protection. The

information is being collected under EPA's Office of Water National
Program Guidance and the State Grant Performance Measures Template.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 33
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: State environmental and health
agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,716.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $820,287, includes $748,257 annualized
capital or O&M costs, and $72,030 labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 149,215 hours per
year in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease in burden is due to a
decrease in the number of items being reported. The burden estimates
were considerably greater in the current ICR because it included an
additional 146,719 hours annually and $0.24 million annually to allow
nine states to complete the source water assessments.
