Draft Technical Support Document: Recommended Estimates for
Missing Water Quality Parameters for Application in EPA's Biotic Ligand
Model

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing
availability of the draft technical support document: Recommended
Estimates for Missing Water Quality Parameters for Application in EPA's
Biotic Ligand Model for public comment. In 2007, EPA published updated
criteria for freshwater copper using the Biotic Ligand Model (BLM), a
bioavailability model that relies on ten water quality input parameters
to estimate copper criteria protective of aquatic life in freshwater.
This draft technical support document summarizes data analysis
approaches EPA used to develop recommendations for default values for
water quality parameters used in the Freshwater Copper BLM when data
are lacking. These default values may also be used to fill in missing
water quality input parameters in the application of other metal BLM
models as well, when data are lacking. Following closure of this 30 day
public comment period, EPA will consider the comments, revise the
document, as appropriate, and then publish a final technical support
document that will serve as a source of information for states, tribes,
territories, and other stakeholders.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 17, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-
2015-0469, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. EPA
may publish any comment received to its public docket. Do not submit
electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted
by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be
accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered the
official comment and should include discussion of all points you wish
to make. EPA will generally not consider comments or comment contents
located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or
other file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please
visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

II. What is the relationship between state or tribal water quality
standards and the draft technical support document?

Recommended estimates for missing water quality parameters for
application in EPA's biotic ligand model?

    As part of the water quality standards triennial review process
defined in section 303(c)(1) of the CWA, the states and authorized
tribes are responsible for maintaining and revising water quality
standards. Water quality standards consist of designated uses, water
quality criteria to protect those uses, a policy for antidegradation,
and may include general policies for application and implementation.
States and authorized tribes must adopt water quality criteria that
protect designated uses. Protective criteria are based on a sound
scientific rationale and contain sufficient parameters or constituents
to protect the designated uses. States and authorized tribes have four
options when adopting water quality criteria for which EPA has
published section 304(a) criteria. They can:
    (1) Establish numerical values based on recommended section 304(a)
criteria;
    (2) Adopt section 304(a) criteria modified to reflect site-specific
conditions;
    (3) Adopt criteria derived using other scientifically defensible
methods; or
    (4) Establish narrative criteria where numeric criteria cannot be
established or to supplement numerical criteria (40 CFR 131.11(b)).
    The current 304(a) criteria recommendation for freshwater copper
relies on implementation of the BLM model. The model requires 10 inputs
to determine the criteria. This technical support document provides
default values for 8 of the 10 parameters, where site-specific data are
not available, and thereby facilitates the use of the BLM model. The
document describes the methods used to estimate missing parameters.

III. Information on the Draft Technical Support Document

Recommended Estimates for Missing Water Quality Parameters for
Application in EPA's Biotic Ligand Model

    The Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) is used to derive Aquatic Life
Ambient water quality criteria for copper in freshwater. The BLM
requires 10 input parameters: Temperature, pH, dissolved organic
carbon, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfate, and
chloride to derive water quality criteria. In 2007, EPA published
updated criteria for freshwater copper using the biotic ligand model.
An ongoing implementation challenge for state water quality standards
is completing a parameter database for BLM use when a site has missing
model input parameters. EPA developed approaches to estimate missing
water quality parameters including geochemical ions (calcium,
magnesium, sodium, potassium, sulfate, chloride, and alkalinity) and
dissolved organic carbon (DOC). For geochemical ions (GI) parameter
estimates, specific conductivity was combined with geostatistical
techniques (Kriging) to generate protective estimates for use in the
BLM when data are not available. DOC estimates were derived using
several water quality databases including the National Organic Carbon
Database, Storage and Retrieval Data System, National Waters
Information System, Wadeable Stream Assessment, and National River and
Stream Assessment (NRSA) database.
    This draft support document provides default recommended values
that could be used to fill in missing water quality input parameters
when data are lacking for 8 of 10 BLM parameters. Default recommended
values for GI parameters are 10th percentile ecoregional, stream-order
specific values. Default recommended values for DOC are 10th percentile
ecoregional values. These default values could also be used to fill in
missing water quality input parameters in the application of other
metal BLM models as well, when data are lacking. In addition, the
document also recommends that the other two parameters, temperature and
pH, be measured directly in the field. Site-specific data are always
preferable for use in the BLM and should be used to develop copper
criteria via the BLM when possible. Users of the BLM are encouraged to
sample their water body of interest, and to analyze the samples for the
constituent (parameter) concentrations as a basis for determining BLM
inputs, when possible.
    This document underwent an internal EPA review and an independent
contractor-led external peer review.

IV. Solicitation of Scientific Views

    EPA is soliciting additional scientific views, data, and
information regarding the science and technical approach used in the
derivation of this draft technical document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    This guidance provides recommendations for 510(k) submissions for
metal expandable biliary stents and their associated delivery systems.
These devices are intended to provide luminal patency of malignant
strictures in the biliary tree. The scope of this guidance is limited
to metal expandable biliary stents regulated under 21 CFR 876.5010
(Biliary catheter and accessories) and with product code FGE (Catheter,
Biliary, Diagnostic). This guidance applies only to biliary stents
indicated for palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree.
It does not apply to biliary stents indicated to treat benign
strictures or stents intended to be used in the vasculature, tracheal/
bronchial tubes, or other gastrointestinal anatomy.
    FDA considered comments received on the draft guidance that
appeared in the Federal Register of July 18, 2018 (83 FR 33940). FDA
revised the guidance as appropriate in response to the comments. This
guidance updates and supersedes the guidance ``Guidance for the Content
of Premarket Notifications for Metal Expandable Biliary Stents,''
issued on February 5, 1998, to reflect current review practices.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Metal Expandable Biliary Stents--Premarket
Notification (510(k)) Submissions.'' It does not establish any rights
for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an
alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable
statutes and regulations. This guidance is not subject to Executive
Order 12866.

Asbestos (Part 1: Chrysotile Asbestos); Final Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) Risk Evaluation; Notice of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the
availability of the final Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) risk
evaluation of Asbestos Part 1 (Chrysotile Asbestos). The purpose of
conducting risk evaluations under TSCA is to determine whether a
chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment under the conditions of use, including an unreasonable
risk to a relevant potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation,
without consideration of costs or other nonrisk factors. EPA has
determined that specific conditions of use of Chrysotile Asbestos
present an unreasonable risk of injury to health. For those conditions
of use for which EPA has found an unreasonable risk, EPA must take
regulatory action to address that unreasonable risk through risk
management measures enumerated in TSCA. EPA has also determined that
specific conditions of use do not present unreasonable risk of injury
to health or the environment. For those conditions of use for which EPA
has found no

unreasonable risk to health or the environment, the Agency's
determination is a final Agency action and is issued via order in the
risk evaluation. EPA is currently developing Part 2 of the TSCA risk
evaluation for Asbestos which will evaluate risk of injury to health or
the environment for legacy uses and associated disposals of asbestos.
The Agency plans to release a draft scope for Part 2 of the risk
evaluation for Asbestos for public comment mid-year 2021.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501, is available online
at https://www.regulations.gov or in-person at the Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics Docket (OPPT Docket), Environmental Protection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may
be of interest to persons who are or may be interested in risk
evaluations of chemical substances under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.
Since other entities may also be interested in this final risk
evaluation, the EPA has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action.

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

    TSCA section 6, 15 U.S.C. 2605, requires EPA to conduct risk
evaluations to ``determine whether a chemical substance presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, without
consideration of costs or other nonrisk factors, including an
unreasonable risk to a potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation
identified as relevant to the risk evaluation by the Administrator,
under the conditions of use.'' 15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(A). TSCA sections
6(b)(4)(A) through (H) enumerate the deadlines and minimum requirements
applicable to this process, including provisions that provide
instruction on chemical substances that must undergo evaluation, the
minimum components of a TSCA risk evaluation, and the timelines for
public comment and completion of the risk evaluation. TSCA also
requires that EPA operate in a manner that is consistent with the best
available science, make decisions based on the weight of the scientific
evidence and consider reasonably available information. 15 U.S.C.
2625(h), (i), and (k). TSCA section 6(i) directs that a determination
of ``no unreasonable risk'' shall be issued by order and considered to
be a final Agency action, while a determination of ``unreasonable
risk'' is not considered to be a final Agency action. 15 U.S.C.
2605(i).
    The statute identifies the minimum components for all chemical
substance risk evaluations. For each risk evaluation, EPA must publish
a document that outlines the scope of the risk evaluation to be
conducted, which includes the hazards, exposures, conditions of use,
and the potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations that EPA
expects to consider. 15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(D). The statute further
provides that each risk evaluation must also: (1) Integrate and assess
available information on hazards and exposures for the conditions of
use of the chemical substance, including information that is relevant
to specific risks of injury to health or the environment and
information on relevant potentially exposed or susceptible
subpopulations; (2) describe whether aggregate or sentinel exposures
were considered and the basis for that consideration; (3) take into
account, where relevant, the likely duration, intensity, frequency, and
number of exposures under the conditions of use; and (4) describe the
weight of the scientific evidence for the identified hazards and
exposures. 15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(F)(i) through (ii) and (iv) through
(v). Each risk evaluation must not consider costs or other nonrisk
factors. 15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(F)(iii).
    The statute requires that the risk evaluation process be completed
within a specified timeframe and provide an opportunity for public
comment on a draft risk evaluation prior to publishing a final risk
evaluation. 15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4).
    Subsection 5.3.1 of the final risk evaluation for Asbestos Part 1
(Chrysotile Asbestos) constitutes the order required under TSCA section
6(i)(1), and the ``no unreasonable risk'' determinations in that
subsection are considered to be a final Agency action effective on the
date of issuance of the order. In conducting risk evaluations, ``EPA
will determine whether the chemical substance presents an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment under each condition of
use[ ] within the scope of the risk evaluation, either in a single
decision document or in multiple decision documents. '' 40 CFR 702.47.
Under EPA's implementing regulations, ``[a] determination by EPA that
the chemical substance, under one or more of the conditions of use
within the scope of the risk evaluation, does not present an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment will be issued
by order and considered to be a final Agency action, effective on the
date of issuance of the order.'' 40 CFR 702.49(d). For purposes of TSCA
section 19(a)(1)(A), the date of issuance of the TSCA section 6(i)(1)
order for Asbestos Part 1 (Chrysotile Asbestos) shall be at 1:00 p.m.

C. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is announcing the availability of the risk evaluation of the
chemical substance identified in Unit II. In this risk evaluation EPA
has made unreasonable risk determinations on some of the conditions of
use within the scope of the risk evaluation for this chemical. For
those conditions of use for which EPA has found an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment, EPA must initiate regulatory
action to address those risks through risk management measures
enumerated in 15 U.S.C. 2605(a).
    EPA also is announcing the availability of the information required
to be provided publicly with each risk evaluation, which is available
online at

https://www.regulations.gov in the dockets identified. 40 CFR 702.51.
Specifically, for the risk evaluation of Asbestos Part 1 (Chrysotile
Asbestos), EPA has provided:
     The scope document and problem formulation (in Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0736);
     Draft risk evaluation and final risk evaluation (in Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501);
     All notices, determinations, findings, consent agreements,
and orders (in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501);
     Any information required to be provided to the Agency
under 15 U.S.C. 2603 (in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0736 and Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501);
     A nontechnical summary of the risk evaluation (in Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501);
     A list of the studies, with the results of the studies,
considered in carrying out each risk evaluation in Docket ID No. EPA-
HQ-OPPT-2019-0501);
     The final peer review report, including the response to
peer review and public comments received during peer review (in Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501); and
     Response to public comments received on the draft scope
and the draft risk evaluation (in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501).

II. TSCA Risk Evaluation

A. What is EPA's risk evaluation process for existing chemicals under
TSCA?

    The risk evaluation process is the second step in EPA's existing
chemical review process under TSCA, following prioritization and before
risk management. As this chemical is one of the first ten chemical
substances undergoing risk evaluation, the chemical substance was not
required to go through prioritization (81 FR 91927, December 19, 2016)
(FRL-9956-47). The purpose of conducting risk evaluations is to
determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment under the conditions of use,
including an unreasonable risk to a relevant potentially exposed or
susceptible subpopulation. As part of this process, EPA must evaluate
both hazard and exposure, not consider costs or other nonrisk factors,
use reasonably available information and approaches in a manner that is
consistent with the requirements in TSCA for the use of the best
available science, and ensure decisions are based on the weight of the
scientific evidence.
    The specific risk evaluation process that EPA has established by
rule to implement the statutory process is set out in 40 CFR part 702
and summarized on EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/risk-evaluations-existing-chemicals-under-tsca. As explained in the preamble to EPA's final rule on
procedures for risk evaluation (82 FR 33726, July 20, 2017) (FRL-9964-
38), the specific regulatory process set out in 40 CFR part 702,
subpart B is being followed for the first ten chemical substances
undergoing risk evaluation to the maximum extent practicable.
    Prior to the publication of this final risk evaluation, a draft
risk evaluation was subject to peer review and public comment. EPA
reviewed the report from the peer review committee and public comments
and has amended the risk evaluation in response to these comments as
appropriate. The public comments, peer review report, and EPA's
response to comments is in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0501. Prior
to the publication of the draft risk evaluation, EPA made available the
scope and problem formulation, and solicited public input on uses and
exposure. EPA's documents and the public comments are in Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0736. Additionally, information about the scope,
problem formulation, and draft risk evaluation phases of the TSCA risk
evaluation for this chemical is available at EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/risk-evaluation-asbestos-0.

B. Definition of asbestos?

    For the purposes of the Risk Evaluation for Asbestos under TSCA
Section 6(a), EPA is using the TSCA section 202 definition of asbestos;
which is--``asbestiform varieties of six fiber types--chrysotile
(serpentine), crocidolite (riebeckite), amosite (cummingtonite-
grunerite), anthophyllite, tremolite or actinolite.'' Part 1 of the
Risk Evaluation for Asbestos is focused on Chrysotile Asbestos, as this
is the only fiber type currently being imported, processed, or
distributed for use in the United States. It is used in diaphragms,
sheet gaskets, other gaskets, oilfield brake blocks, aftermarket
automotive brakes/linings, and other vehicle friction products. Part 1
of the Risk Evaluation for Asbestos presents risk determinations for
Chrysotile Asbestos attributable to these conditions of use.

C. Risk Evaluation for Asbestos Part 2: Legacy Uses and Associated
Disposals of Asbestos

    As a result of the court decision in Safer Chemicals Healthy
Families v. EPA, 943 F.3d 397 (9th Cir. 2019), EPA will evaluate legacy
uses and associated disposals for Asbestos in Part 2 of the Risk
Evaluation which is under expedited development. Legacy uses and
associated disposals of Asbestos are conditions of use for which
manufacture, import, processing and distribution no longer occur but
where use and disposal, respectively, are still known, intended, or
reasonably foreseen to occur. Part 2 of the Risk Evaluation for
Asbestos will consider all six fiber types of Asbestos described in the
TSCA definition.
    Part 2 of the Risk Evaluation for Asbestos will begin with a draft
scope document that will be made available for public comment. EPA will
engage external stakeholders, where appropriate, to obtain reasonably
available information related to legacy uses and associated disposals,
including in situ in older buildings or still present in older
equipment that has not exceeded its useful life.

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.

[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1702]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The LOMR will be used
by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.
For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is shown
in the table below and must be used for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
