I. CONCLUSION

Based on the low frequency and severity of incident cases, there does not appear to be a concern at this time that would warrant further investigation. The Agency will continue to monitor the incident information and if a concern is triggered, additional analysis will be included in the risk assessment.

II.	ACTION REQUESTED

This review is intended to fulfill our requirement to docket summaries of incident data that were reported to the Agency, as well as to ensure human incident data and the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) are part of the problem formulation phase of registration review. Reports of adverse health effects allegedly due to a specific pesticide exposure (i.e., an "incident") are largely self-reported and therefore, generally speaking, neither exposure to a pesticide or reported symptom (or the connection between the two) is validated.  Typically, causation cannot be determined based on incident data.  However, incident information can be an important source of feedback to the Agency  -  incidents of severe outcome, or a suggested pattern or trend among less severe incidents, can signal the Agency to further investigate a particular chemical or product. Observational epidemiology studies relate the risk of disease, e.g., cancer, and exposure to an agent such as a pesticide product in the general population or specific sub-groups like pesticide applicators.

III.	BACKGROUND

For this evaluation, the OPP Incident Data System (IDS) was utilized for pesticide incident data on the active ingredient metsulfuron (PC Code 122010).  The purpose of the database search is to identify potential patterns on the frequency and severity of the health effects attributed to metsulfuron exposure.  The IDS includes reports of alleged human health incidents from various sources, including mandatory Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 6 (a) (2) reports from registrants, other federal and state health and environmental agencies and individual consumers. Since 1992, OPP compiles these reports in IDS.  IDS contain reports from across the U.S. and most incidents have all relevant product information recorded. Reports submitted to the IDS represent anecdotal reports or allegations only, unless otherwise stated in the report.  The AHS is a high quality, prospective epidemiology study evaluating the link between pesticide use and various health outcomes including cancer. The AHS includes private and commercial pesticide applicators and their spouses. If there are AHS findings relevant to a particular pesticide going through registration review, the Agency will ensure they are considered in the problem formulation/scoping phase of the process and, if appropriate, fully reviewed in the risk assessment phase of the process. The AHS includes information on use of 50 different pesticide active ingredients commonly used in agriculture.

IV. RESULTS/DISCUSSION

IDS records incidents resulting in higher severity outcomes in more detail, in a module called the Main IDS module.  This system stores incident data for death, major and moderate incidents, and it includes more details about the location, date and nature of the incident.  Main IDS incidents involving only one pesticide are considered to provide more certain information about the potential effects of exposure from the pesticide.  The less severe human incidents (minor, unknown, or no effects outcomes) are reported by registrants as counts called aggregate summaries and are recorded in a separate module called Aggregate IDS.

In Aggregate IDS, from January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2011 there are 37 incidents involving metsulfuron.  Because it falls within the categories reported as counts (which includes minor, unknown or no effects), there is no unique report that provides details about the incident and single chemical incidents are not distinguished from multiple chemical incidents; however, a high frequency of incidents indicates there is a high potential for exposure and vice versa.  For metsulfuron, there appears to be a low potential for exposure.

 For the Main IDS, from January 1, 2006 to March 23, 2011, there are 12 cases reported that involve the active ingredient metsulfuron. However, there is no incident reported for single chemical metsulfuron only in the database.

Metsulfuron is not included in the AHS, and therefore does not provide information for this report.

Based on the low frequency and severity of incident cases, there does not appear to be a concern at this time that would warrant further investigation. The Agency will continue to monitor the incident information and if a concern is triggered, additional analysis will be included in the risk assessment.

Amendment 39-15905; AD 2009-08-51]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Corporation (RRC) AE 3007A
Series Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment
adopting emergency airworthiness directive (AD) 2009-08-51 that was
sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of RRC AE 3007A
series turbofan engines. This AD requires performing an eddy current
inspection (ECI) or surface wave ultrasonic test (SWUT) inspection on
each affected high-pressure turbine wheel. This AD results from
additional reports of cracks in the high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 2
wheels identified from the required inspections in AD 2008-26-06. A
revised risk assessment that includes these additional reports
indicates we need to require a higher inspection rate. We are issuing
this AD to prevent an uncontained failure of the HPT stage 2 wheel and
damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 27, 2009 to all persons except
those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by emergency AD
2009-08-51, issued on April 10, 2009, which contained the requirements
of this amendment. The Director of the Federal Register approved the
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the
regulations as of May 27, 2009.
    We must receive any comments on this AD by July 13, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to comment on this AD.

identified in this AD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 10, 2009, the FAA issued emergency
AD 2009-08-51, that applies to RRC AE 3007A series turbofan engines.
That AD supersedes AD 2008-26-06, and requires performing an ECI or
SWUT inspection on HPT stage 2 wheels for cracks. That AD resulted from
additional reports of cracks in the HPT stage 2 wheels identified from
the required inspections. A revised risk assessment that includes these
additional reports indicates we needed to require a higher inspection
rate. That emergency AD also addresses a group of low utilization
engines above 16,350 cycles-since-new (CSN) that might not yet have
been inspected. This condition, if not corrected, could result in a
possible uncontained failure of the HPT stage 2 wheel and damage to the
airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed RRC Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) AE 3007A-A-72-
367, Revision 1, dated April 7, 2009, that describes procedures for ECI
of the HPT stage 2 wheel on AE 3007A series turbofan engines and RRC SB
AE 3007A-72-368, Revision 1, dated April 6, 2009, that describes the
procedures for SWUT inspection of the HPT stage 2 wheel on AE 3007A
series turbofan engines.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    Since the unsafe condition described is likely to exist or develop
on other engines of the same type design, we

issued emergency AD 2009-08-51 to prevent an uncontained failure of the
HPT stage 2 wheel, and damage to the airplane. This AD requires
performing an ECI or SWUT inspection on each affected wheel. You must
use the service information described previously to perform the actions
required by this AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we have found that notice and opportunity for
public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable, and that good
cause existed to make the AD effective immediately on April 10, 2009,
to all known U.S. owners and operators of RRC AE 3007A series turbofan
engines. These conditions still exist, and we are publishing the AD in
the Federal Register as an amendment to Section 39.13 of part 39 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to make it effective to
all persons.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send us any written relevant data,
views, or arguments regarding this AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``AD Docket No. FAA-2008-0975;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NE-29-AD'' in the subject line of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of the rule that might
suggest a need to modify it.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact
with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the
Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any of our dockets,
including, if provided, the name of the individual who sent the comment
(or signed the comment on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement
in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78).

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is the same as
the Mail address provided in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be
available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

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 have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54530; File No. SR-NYSE-2006-49]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC;
Order Approving Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto
Relating to Amending Rule 123D (Openings and Halts in Trading) and Rule
15 To Shorten the Minimum Required Time Periods Between Tape
Indications and Openings or Reopenings

September 28, 2006.
    On June 30, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend NYSE Rules 123D and 15 to shorten the
minimum time periods between tape indications and openings or
reopenings of a security and after an ``Equipment Changeover.'' \3\ On
August 14, 2006, the Exchange submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed
rule change.\4\ The proposed rule change, as amended, was published for
comment in the Federal Register on August 28, 2006.\5\ The Commission
received no comments regarding the proposal. This order approves the
proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Exchange Rule 123D(2).
    \4\ In Amendment No. 1, NYSE made minor revisions to the
proposed rule text and clarified that all market participants may
react to published price indications.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54337 (August 21,
2006), 71 FR 50963 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to amend NYSE Rules 123D and 15 to shorten
the minimum time periods between tape indications and openings or
reopenings of a security and after an ``Equipment Changeover.'' In
connection with a delayed opening of trading in a security, Exchange
Rule 123D currently requires a minimum of ten minutes to elapse between
the first price indication and the opening of the stock, and where
there is more than one indication, a minimum of five minutes to elapse
after the last indication, provided in all cases that at least ten
minutes have elapsed since the first indication. The Exchange's
proposal would reduce these minimum time periods from ten to three
minutes after the first indication, and to one minute after the last
indication, provided that a minimum of three minutes have elapsed since
the first indication.
    With respect to the reopening of trading after a stock has been
halted during the trading day, Exchange Rule 123D currently requires a
minimum of five minutes to elapse between the first indication and the
reopening of trading, and a minimum of three minutes to elapse after
the last indication, provided that at least five minutes has elapsed
since the first indication. The Exchange's proposal would reduce these
minimum time periods to three minutes after the first indication, and
to one minute after the last indication, provided that a minimum of
three minutes has elapsed since the first indication.
    With respect to the reopening of trading after a stock has been
halted during the trading day because of ``Equipment Changeover,''
Exchange Rule 123D currently requires a minimum of five minutes to
elapse before trading resumes following an Equipment Changeover.
Further, if, during the ``Equipment Changeover'' trading halt, a
significant order imbalance \6\ develops or a regulatory condition
occurs, the nature of the halt will be changed and notice must be
disseminated and trading cannot resume until ten minutes after the
first indication of the new halt condition. The Exchange's proposal
would reduce these minimum time periods to one minute after an
``Equipment Changeover'' and to three minutes after an ``Equipment
Changeover'' during which a significant order imbalance or regulatory
condition develops.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Exchange indicated in the Notice that a ``significant
order imbalance'' is one which would result in a price change from
the last sale of one point or more for stocks under $10, the lesser
of 10% or three points for stocks between $10-$99.99 and five points
for stocks $100 or more--unless a Floor Governor deems circumstances
warrant a lower parameter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, NYSE proposes to amend Exchange Rule 15 to conform with a
recent amendment to the Intermarket Trading System Plan (``ITS Plan'').
In particular, the Exchange's proposal would require that, when more
than one indication is disseminated, a stock may reopen one minute
after the last indication if three minutes have elapsed after the first
indication.
    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.\7\
Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with
Section 6(b)(5) of the

Act,\8\ which requires, among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general,
to protect investors and the public interest. The proposal appears
designed to strike a reasonable balance between preserving the
opportunity for price discovery before a stock opens or reopens while
providing timely opportunities for investors to participate in the
market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In approving this proposed rule change the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\9\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NYSE-2006-49), as amended, is
approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

Secretary.
