RIN 2137-AE59

Pipeline Safety: Miscellaneous Changes to Pipeline Safety
Regulations; Administrative Significance: Petitions for Reconsideration

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Petitions for reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: On March 11, 2015, PHMSA published a final rule amending the
pipeline safety regulations to make miscellaneous changes that updated
and clarified certain regulatory requirements. These amendments address
several subject matter areas including the performance of post-
construction inspections, leak surveys of Type B onshore gas gathering
lines, qualifying plastic pipe joiners, regulation of ethanol,
transportation of pipe, filing of offshore pipeline condition reports,
and calculation of pressure reductions for hazardous liquid pipeline
anomalies. PHMSA has since received three petitions for reconsideration
submitted by persons affected by the final rule.

DATES: PHMSA received these petitions on April 10, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kay McIver, Transportation Specialist,
by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by electronic mail at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On March 11, 2015, PHMSA published a final rule amending the
pipeline safety regulations to make miscellaneous changes that updated
and clarified certain regulatory requirements (80 FR 12762). These
amendments addressed several subject matter areas including the
performance of post-construction inspections, leak surveys of Type B
onshore gas gathering lines, qualifying plastic pipe joiners,
regulation of ethanol, transportation of pipe, filing of offshore
pipeline condition reports, and calculation of pressure reductions for
hazardous liquid pipeline anomalies. PHMSA has since received three
petitions for reconsideration submitted by persons affected by the
final rule.
    Dates: On April 10, 2015, the American Gas Association (AGA), the
American Public Gas Association, (APGA) and the Interstate Natural Gas
Association of America (INGAA) petitioned PHMSA for re-consideration to
certain parts of the Miscellaneous Rule.

II. Petitions for Reconsideration

    In accordance with 49 CFR 190.335, PHMSA received three petitions
from the APGA, the AGA and the INGAA asking for reconsideration to some
portions of the Final Rule. APGA and AGA expressed concerns about the
provisions of the Final Rule applicable to construction inspections.
INGAA and AGA expressed concerns regarding provisions in the Final Rule
applicable to components fabricated by welding.
    Section 190.337(b) states that it is the policy of the Associate
Administrator for Pipeline Safety to issue notice of the action on a
petition for reconsideration within 90 days after the date on which the
regulation in question is published in the Federal Register, unless it
is found impracticable to take action within that time. Section
190.337(b) goes on to state that when it is impractical to take action
within that time, that PHMSA will give notice of that fact and the date
by which action is expected to be taken. Due to the complexities of the
petitions, PHMSA is unable to complete the analyses and render a
decision within the 90-day time frame. Therefore, in accordance with
Sec.  190.337(b), PHMSA anticipates acting on these three petitions by
October 1, 2015.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on July 31, 2015, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.

                             Ethofumesate (110601)
                     Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)
                             Date: July 20, 2015

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?
      * Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.
      * Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.
What does it contain?
      * Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.
      * Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used on.
      * Available pesticide usage information from U.S. states that produce 80% or more of a crop, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases, depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.
      * Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural crop.
      * Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).
What assumptions can I make about the reported data?
      * Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 & <1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of 1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)
      * Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, & rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.  If the estimated value is less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.
      * Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.
What are the data sources used?
      * USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service)  -  pesticide usage data from 2004 to 2013.
      * Private pesticide market research  -  pesticide usage data from 2004 to 2013.
      * California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data for 2004 to 2012.
What are the limitations to the data?
      * Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).
      * Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply zero usage.
      * Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the SLUA.
      * Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control, etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to receive these estimates.
      * Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

D. Background

    Former EPA Administrator Carol Browner transmitted the EPA Science
Policy Council's Guidance on Cumulative Risk Assessment, Part 1,
Planning and Scoping in a memo dated July 3, 1997. Administrator
Browner wrote: ``Today, we are providing guidance for all EPA offices
on cumulative risk assessment. This guidance directs each office to
take into account cumulative risk issues in scoping and planning major
risk assessments and to consider a broader scope that integrates
multiple sources, effects, pathways, stressors and populations for
cumulative risk analyses in all cases for which relevant data are
available. This assures a more consistent and scientifically complete
Agency-wide approach to cumulative risk assessments in order to better
protect public health and the environment.'' Subsequently, the EPA Risk
Assessment Forum was charged to complete comprehensive guidelines for
the assessment of cumulative risks. In May 2003, the RAF released the
Framework for Cumulative Risk Assessment (EPA/630/P-02/001F), available
to download from the internet at http://www.epa.gov/raf/publications/pdfs/frmwrk_cum_risk_assmnt.pdf. The 2003 CRA Framework was the
EPA's first step toward development of the CRA Guidelines. The foreword
to the Framework notes that the National Research Council (NRC) (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=2125#toc) and the Presidential-
Congressional

Commission on Risk Assessment (http://www.riskworld.com/Nreports/1996/risk_rpt/Rr6me001.htm) assign importance to understanding risk from
multiple stressors, and that EPA had begun to address approaches to
CRA. The NRC and EPA's Science Advisory Board have provided consistent
recommendations that encourage better integrated, multi-stressor
approaches to understanding risks to human health and the environment.
For example, in Science & Decisions 2009, the NRC recommends that EPA
develop CRA tools (see pg. 236). ``EPA is increasingly asked to address
broader public-health and environmental-health questions involving
multiple exposures, complex mixtures, and vulnerability of exposed
populations--issues that stakeholder groups . . . often consider to be
inadequately captured by current risk assessments. There is a need for
cumulative risk assessments . . .'' (Science and Decisions; available
to download from the internet at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12209.

E. Request for Information and Citations on Cumulative Risk Assessment
Methods

    To date, CRA experience at EPA has been principally in the
application of CRA screening and chemical additivity methods for
aggregating risk from multiple exposures and/or toxicity pathways.
These have been conducted by EPA programs and regions. This limited
application of CRA has substantiated the value of multi-chemical/
stressor assessments in an environmental risk assessment context, but
illustrates a more limited application than that recommended by the
NRC, or discussed in the 2003 CRA Framework. EPA requests information
on and citations for CRA methods that have been employed to date and
approaches that could assist EPA in the development of improved CRA
methods. Methods and information published in the peer-reviewed
literature are preferred and would be more readily useful. Information
and citations are also being requested for existing, on-going
cumulative risk assessments that incorporate the assessment of multiple
chemical or non-chemical stressors, and that address any of the
following characteristics: multi-stressor, multi-media, multi-receptor,
including assessment of a vulnerable population, both human and
environmental health considerations, or socio-economic stressors. EPA
also requests information on examples where CRA has been successfully
used for decision making at the local, state, national, or
international levels, including a description of the circumstances
leading to the use of CRA methods in those examples.
    More specifically, information and citations are sought for the
following purposes:
    1. Methods for CRA planning, scoping and problem formulation to
ensure that the scope of a CRA is tractable and also adequately
addresses the key concerns of a specified environmental problem. This
includes methods that could be used for the following: evaluating
population vulnerabilities that are either perceived or empirically
demonstrated as important elements of a CRA; involving the spectrum of
interested/affected parties in formulating the problem for assessment
or decision; considering stakeholder objectives and integrating them
into an analysis; identifying the most influential stressors that need
to be considered in a CRA; and developing conceptual models that link
stressors and health outcomes.
    2. Methods to identify and quantify population vulnerabilities
(risk factors) and buffers (protective factors) that may influence
exposures, dose-response or risk/hazard posed by environmental
contaminant exposures, and methods to integrate population
vulnerabilities and buffers into a CRA. Vulnerabilities could include
factors leading to differential exposures, differential responses,
preparedness and resiliency within a population.
    3. Methods for integrating chemical, physical, biological and
socio-economic stressors within a CRA, including quantifying and
integrating ``exposure'' and ``dose-response'' for disparate stressors,
and grouping of chemical and nonchemical stressors for combined (or
integrated) risk analysis.
    4. Methods for characterizing integrated risks posed by disparate
stressors in a CRA context. These could include methods and/or study
data from epidemiology, toxicology, ecology, health economics, chemical
mixtures risk assessment, social sciences, dose response modeling and
statistics (among others); and may also include addressing spatial and
temporal scales.
    5. Methods to integrate ecological and human health exposures and
health effects in a CRA.
    6. Approaches for addressing stakeholder participation, engagement
and risk communication when conducting a CRA.
