DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2021-0110]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on October 31, 2021, New York
& Lake Erie Railroad (NYLE) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance \1\ from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49
CFR part 223, Safety Glazing Standards--Locomotives, Passenger Cars and
Cabooses. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2021-0110.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These locomotives were previously granted relief under
dockets FRA-2000-8267 and FRA-2004-19950, but that relief has
expired. In Docket FRA-2000-8267, locomotive NYLE 85 was referred to
as OCTL 85.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, NYLE requested relief from the glazing requirements
of 49 CFR 223.11, Requirements for existing locomotives, for
locomotives NYLE 85 and NYLE 308. NYLE 85 is operated in freight and
tourist service on the Oil Creek and Titusville Line in Titusville,
Pennsylvania, and NYLE 308 is operated in occasional freight and
tourist service in Gowanda, New York. NYLE stated the cost of glazing
for both locomotives is prohibitively expensive.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
    Communications received by February 7, 2022 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered if practicable. Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications and comments received into any of
our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment (or
signing the document, if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). Under 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) solicits comments from the public to
better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
including any personal information the commenter provides, to
www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice (DOT/

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0664]

Clinical Trials Endpoints for Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease
After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation; Public
Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

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

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institutes of
Health (NIH) in co-sponsorship with the Center for International Blood
and Marrow Transplantation Research (CIBMTR) and the American Society
for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) are announcing a public
workshop entitled ``Clinical Trials Endpoints for Acute Graft-Versus-
Host Disease (GVHD) After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell
Transplantation.'' This is a 1-day workshop for academics, government
researchers, clinical trial experts, government regulators, and
industry representatives. The purpose of the public workshop is to
review the data that will serve as the foundation for protocol design
and clinical trial evidence-based endpoints intended to support the
approval of new drugs or biologics to prevent or treat acute GVHD. The
public workshop also will inform FDA and assist investigators in
facilitating clinical development programs for products to prevent or
treat acute GVHD indications.
    Date and Time: The public workshop will be held on May 19, 2009,
from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    Location: The public workshop will be held at the Hilton Washington
DC/Rockville Executive Meeting Center, 1750 Rockville Pike, Rockville,
MD 20852.
    Overnight accommodations can be booked at the Hilton under group
code ``MCW'' for the conference rate by calling 1-800-445-8667 or by
using the Reservation Web site athttp://www.hilton.com/en/hi/groups/
personalized/IADMRHF-MCW-20090518/index.jhtml. Accommodation agreement

responsible for subsequent changes to the Web site after this document
publishes in the Federal Register).

Research (HFM-43), Food and Drug Administration, 1401 Rockville Pike,
suite 200N, Rockville, MD 20852-1448,<PHONE_NUMBER>, FAX:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Subject line: Acute GVHD Workshop).
    Registration: Mail or fax your registration information (including
name, title, firm name, address, telephone and fax numbers) to the
Contact Person by April 18, 2009. There is no registration fee for the
public workshop. Early registration is recommended because seating is
limited. Registration on the day of the public workshop will be
provided on a space available basis beginning at 8:15 a.m.
    If you need special accommodations due to a disability, please
contact Leslie Haynes at least 7 days in advance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At the present time, there are no drugs or
biologics approved for prevention or treatment of acute GVHD.
Development of products to prevent or treat acute GVHD poses several
challenges. First, the market is not very big, so there is little
incentive for investment if the process is cumbersome; second, analyses
of these studies are complicated by confounding factors; and third,
there is a lack of evidence-based endpoints that can be used to
demonstrate a clinically meaningful benefit of any therapy.
    The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research is the FDA Center
with regulatory responsibility for vaccines, blood and blood products,
allergenic products, and therapies involving cells, tissues, and genes.
The mission of FDA is to protect and enhance the public health
including the safety and purity of medical products and the Nation's
blood supply. The purpose of this event is to review the data that can
be used to develop evidence-based endpoints for clinical trials
targeting acute GVHD.
    ASBMT is a professional organization that promotes advancement of
the field of blood and bone marrow transplantation. Its members are
both in clinical practice and in research.
    CIBMTR is a research network comprised of the National Marrow Donor
Program[sscopy] and the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry
and Autologous Blood and Marrow Transplant Registry. Its activities
include support for the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
(NHLBI)-funded Blood and Marrow Transplantation Clinical Trials Network
and Health Resources and Services Administration's C.W. Bill Young Cell
Transplantation Program. The goals of the CIBMTR include defining key
areas for future research in collaboration with leading scientists,
physicians, and others in the blood and marrow transplant community;
the design and implementation of clinical studies; and making available
research resources including a clinical database of related blood and
marrow transplants, along with repositories of matched tissue samples
from transplant recipients and their donors.
    The NHLBI, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
(NIAID), National Cancer Institute (NCI), and Office of Rare Diseases
(ORD) are at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the primary
Federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research. NIH's
mission is science in pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature
and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to
extend healthy life and reduce the burdens of illness and disability.
    The public workshop will feature presentations by FDA, CIBMTR, and
members of ASBMT. The topics to be discussed include the following: (1)
Regulatory requirements for clinical trials, (2) extant data which
support the endpoints currently used in clinical trials, (3) data
analyses to support the validity of the proposed endpoints, (4)
statistical approaches to minimize confounding factors in stem cell
transplantation study analysis, (5) biomarkers for acute GVHD, and (6)
patient-reported outcomes for acute GVHD prevention and treatment
trials.
    Presentations: Presentations from the public workshop will be
maintained on the CIBMTR's Web site for at least 1 year.

    Dated: March 6, 2009.
Jeffrey Shuren,
Associate Commissioner for Policy and Planning.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 15002-000]

 Premium Energy Holdings, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On July 10, 2019, Premium Energy Holdings, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Walker
Lake Pumped Storage Project (Walker Lake or project) to be located on
Walker Lake and Walker River, near the community of Walker Lake,
Mineral County, Nevada. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would be a closed-loop pumped storage
hydropower facility. The applicant proposes three alternative upper
reservoirs: Bald Mountain Reservoir, Copper Canyon Reservoir, or Dry
Creek Reservoir. The existing Walker Lake would be the lower reservoir
for each alternative.

Upper Reservoir Alternative 1: Bald Mountain Reservoir

    The Bald Mountain Reservoir alternative consists of: (1) A 101-acre
upper reservoir having a total storage capacity of 23,419 acre-feet at
a normal maximum operating elevation of 6,500 feet mean sea level
(msl); (2) a 615-foot-high, 2,195-foot-long roller compacted concrete
upper reservoir dam; (3) a 0.88-mile-long, 30-foot-diameter concrete-
lined headrace tunnel; (4) a 0.3-mile-long, 27-foot-diameter concrete-
lined vertical shaft; (5) a 1.85-mile-long, 27-foot-diameter concrete-
lined horizontal tunnel; (6) five 0.15-mile-long, 17-foot-diameter
steel penstocks; (7) a 500-foot-long, 85-foot-wide, 160-foot-high
concrete-lined powerhouse located in an underground cavern, housing
five pump-turbine generator-motor units rated for 400 megawatts (MW)
each; and (8) a 0.45-mile-long, 32-foot-diameter concrete-lined
tailrace tunnel discharging into the existing Walker Lake.

Upper Reservoir Alternative 2: Copper Canyon Reservoir

    The Copper Canyon Reservoir alternative consists of: (1) A 235-acre
upper reservoir having a total storage capacity of 36,266 acre-feet at
a normal maximum operating elevation of 5,740 feet msl; (2) a 505-foot-
high, 6,105-foot-long roller compacted concrete upper reservoir dam;
(3) a 0.56-mile-long, 35-foot-diameter concrete-lined headrace tunnel;
(4) a 0.2-mile-long, 31-foot-diameter concrete-lined vertical shaft;
(5) a 1.05-mile-long, 31-foot-diameter concrete-lined horizontal
tunnel; (6) five 0.1-mile-long, 20-foot-diameter steel penstocks; (7) a
500-foot-long, 85-foot-wide, 160-foot-high concrete-lined powerhouse
located in an underground cavern, housing five pump-turbine generator-
motor units rated for 400 MW each; and (8) a 0.6-mile-long, 38-foot-
diameter concrete-lined tailrace tunnel discharging into the existing
Walker Lake.

Upper Reservoir Alternative 3: Dry Creek Reservoir

    The Dry Creek Canyon Reservoir alternative consists of: (1) A 105-
acre upper reservoir having a total storage capacity of 21,953 acre-
feet at a normal maximum operating elevation of 6,560 feet msl; (2) a
775-foot-high, 6,870-foot-long roller compacted concrete upper
reservoir dam; (3) a 0.98-mile-long, 29-foot-diameter concrete-lined
headrace tunnel; (4) a 0.33-mile-long, 26-foot-diameter concrete-lined
vertical shaft; (5) a 2.56-mile-long, 26-foot-diameter concrete-lined
horizontal tunnel; (6) five 0.1-mile-long, 17-foot-diameter steel
penstocks; (7) a 500-foot-long, 85-foot-wide, 160-foot-high concrete-
lined powerhouse located in an underground cavern, housing five pump-
turbine generator-motor units rated for 400 MW each; and (8) a 0.23-
mile-long, 31-foot-diameter concrete-lined tailrace tunnel discharging
into the existing Walker Lake.

Lower Reservoir: Walker Lake

    The existing Walker Lake has a surface are of 32,120 acres at 3,920
feet msl, and a total storage capacity of 1.4 million acre-feet.

Interconnection

    For each upper reservoir alternative, project power would be
transmitted to the grid via: (1) A new, approximately 10-mile-long, 500
kilovolt (kV) transmission line extending from the powerhouse to the
proposed Walker Converter Station (the point of interconnection); and
(2) appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the
Pyramid Lake Project under each of the alternatives would be 6,900
gigawatt-hours.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2021-0007]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt 13 individuals from the
vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate
commerce. They are unable to meet the vision requirement in one eye for
various reasons. The exemptions enable these individuals to operate
CMVs in interstate commerce without meeting the vision requirement in
one eye.

DATES: The exemptions were applicable on July 10, 2021. The exemptions
expire on July 10, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
DOT, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Room W64-224, Washington, DC 20590-

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On June 9, 2021, FMCSA published a notice announcing receipt of
applications from 13 individuals requesting an exemption from vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and requested comments from the
public (86 FR 30672). The public comment period ended on July 9, 2021,
and no comments were received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
determined that granting the exemptions to these individuals would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level
that would be achieved by complying with Sec.  391.41(b)(10).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen)
in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red,
green, and amber.

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

IV. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
    The Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is
based on medical reports about the applicants' vision, as well as their
driving records and experience driving with the vision deficiency. The
qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each applicant
were stated and discussed in detail in the June 9, 2021, Federal
Register notice (86 FR 30672) and will not be repeated here.
    FMCSA recognizes that some drivers do not meet the vision
requirement but have adapted their driving to accommodate their
limitation and demonstrated their ability to drive safely. The 13
exemption applicants listed in this notice are in this category. They
are unable to meet the vision requirement in one eye for various
reasons, including amblyopia, cataracts, corneal scarring, macular
scarring, prosthesis, retinal deformity, retinal detachment, and
retinal scarring. In most cases, their eye conditions did not develop
recently. Nine of the applicants were either born with their vision
impairments or have had them since childhood. The four individuals that
developed their vision conditions as adults have had them for a range
of 4 to 30 years. Although each applicant has one eye that does not
meet the vision requirement in Sec.  391.41(b)(10), each has at least
20/40 corrected vision in the other eye, and, in a doctor's opinion,
has sufficient vision to perform all the tasks necessary to operate a
CMV.
    Doctors' opinions are supported by the applicants' possession of a
valid license to operate a CMV. By meeting State licensing
requirements, the applicants demonstrated their ability to operate a
CMV with their limited vision in intrastate commerce, even though their
vision disqualified them from driving in interstate commerce. We
believe that the applicants' intrastate

driving experience and history provide an adequate basis for predicting
their ability to drive safely in interstate commerce. Intrastate
driving, like interstate operations, involves substantial driving on
highways on the interstate system and on other roads built to
interstate standards. Moreover, driving in congested urban areas
exposes the driver to more pedestrian and vehicular traffic than exists
on interstate highways. Faster reaction to traffic and traffic signals
is generally required because distances between them are more compact.
These conditions tax visual capacity and driver response just as
intensely as interstate driving conditions.
    The applicants in this notice have driven CMVs with their limited
vision in careers ranging for 5 to 80 years. In the past 3 years, no
drivers were involved in crashes, and 2 drivers were convicted of
moving violations in CMVs. All the applicants achieved a record of
safety while driving with their vision impairment that demonstrates the
likelihood that they have adapted their driving skills to accommodate
their condition. As the applicants' ample driving histories with their
vision deficiencies are good predictors of future performance, FMCSA
concludes their ability to drive safely can be projected into the
future.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that in each case exempting these
applicants from the vision requirement in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) is likely
to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

V. Conditions and Requirements

    The terms and conditions of the exemption are provided to the
applicants in the exemption document and includes the following: (1)
Each driver must be physically examined every year (a) by an
ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the standard in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) and
(b) by a certified medical examiner (ME) who attests that the
individual is otherwise physically qualified under Sec.  391.41; (2)
each driver must provide a copy of the ophthalmologist's or
optometrist's report to the ME at the time of the annual medical
examination; and (3) each driver must provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file, or keep a copy in his/her driver's qualification
file if he/she is self-employed. The driver must also have a copy of
the exemption when driving, for presentation to a duly authorized
Federal, State, or local enforcement official.

VI. Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

VII. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 13 exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the vision requirement, Sec.
391.41(b)(10), subject to the requirements cited above:

Gerald C. Adler (NH)
Paul R. Beckett (MN)
Robert W. Boyett (GA)
Timothy W. Ford (SC)
Aaron L. Fox (OH)
James H. George (PA)
Johnny M. Kruprzak (OH)
Jackie L. Lawson (VA)
Alec J Lindgren (NY)
James M. McCleary (OH)
Richard A. Parker II (KS)
Robert B. Sundvor (ND)
William R. Tessman (TX)

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), each exemption
will be valid for 2 years from the effective date unless revoked
earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be revoked if the following
occurs: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of
the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of
safety than was maintained prior to being granted; or (3) continuation
of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives
of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b).

[Docket No. FAA-2020-1018; Project Identifier MCAI-2020-01383-R]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2018-19-01, which applies to all Airbus Helicopters Model AS-365N2, AS
365 N3, EC 155B, EC155B1, SA-365N1, and SA-366G1 helicopters. AD 2018-
19-01 requires repetitive inspections of the aft fuselage outer skin.
Since the FAA issued AD 2018-19-01, it was determined that Model SA-
365N helicopters are also affected by the unsafe condition. This
proposed AD would continue to require repetitive inspections and would
add Model SA-365N helicopters, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which will be incorporated by
reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by December
28, 2020.

Discussion

    The FAA issued AD 2018-19-01, Amendment 39-19401 (83 FR 46862,
September 17, 2018) (AD 2018-19-01), which applies to all Airbus
Helicopters Model AS 365N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155B, EC155B1, SA-365N1, and
SA-366G1 helicopters. AD 2018-19-01 requires repetitive inspections of
the aft fuselage outer skin. The FAA issued AD 2018-19-01 to address
disbonding of the aft fuselage (baggage compartment area) outer skin.
This condition could result in loss of aft fuselage structural
integrity and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

Actions Since AD 2018-19-01 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2018-19-01, it was determined that Model
SA-365N helicopters are also affected by the unsafe condition. In
addition, it was determined the repetitive inspection interval can be
extended under certain conditions.
    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0080, dated April 3, 2019 (EASA
AD 2019-0080) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Airbus Helicopters Model AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155B, EC155B1,
SA-365N, and SA-365N1 helicopters.
    This proposed AD was prompted by the determination that Model SA-
365N helicopters are also affected by the unsafe condition. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address disbonding of the aft fuselage outer skin.
This condition could result in loss of aft fuselage structural
integrity and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter. See the
MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0080 describes procedures for repetitive inspections
of the aft fuselage outer skin for Model AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, EC 155B,
EC155B1, SA-365N, and SA-365N1 helicopters.
    Airbus Helicopters ASB No. SA366-05.48, Revision 1, dated March 27,
2019, describes procedures for repetitive inspections of the aft
fuselage outer skin for Model SA366-G1 helicopters.
    This proposed AD would also require Airbus Helicopters ASB No.
SA366-05.48, Revision 0, dated July 21, 2017, which the Director of the
Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of October
22, 2018 (83 FR 46862, September 17, 2018).
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Explanation of Retained Requirements

    Although this proposed AD does not explicitly restate the
requirements of AD 2018-19-01, this proposed AD would retain all of the
requirements of AD 2018-19-01. Those requirements are referenced in
EASA AD 2019-0080, which, in turn, is referenced in paragraph (g) of
this proposed AD.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2019-0080 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD and except as discussed under ``Differences
Between this Proposed AD and the MCAI.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2019-0080
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed
AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2019-0080 in its
entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in the EASA AD does not mean that

operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in the EASA AD.
Service information specified in EASA AD 2019-0080 that is required for
compliance with EASA AD 2019-0080 will be available on the internet at
https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2020-1018 after the FAA final rule is published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI

    The applicability of EASA AD 2019-0080 does not include Airbus
Helicopters Model SA-366G1 helicopters. Those helicopters are no longer
listed on the EASA type certificate data sheet (TCDS); however, they
are still listed on the U.S. TCDS and are affected by the unsafe
condition. Therefore, the FAA has included Airbus Helicopters Model SA-
366G1 helicopters in the applicability of this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 52 helicopters of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid
monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl
esters; Tolerance Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-
propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of May 18, 2018 (83 FR 23247) (FRL-9976-
87), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C.
346a, announcing the receipt of a pesticide petition (PP IN-11111)
filed by Lamberti USA, Incorporated, P.O. Box 1000, Hungerford TX
77448. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.960 be amended by
establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for
residues of 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid
monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl
esters; CAS Reg. No. 2115702-24-2. That document included a summary of
the petition prepared by the petitioner and solicited comments on the
petitioner's request. The Agency did not receive any comments.
    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and use in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the
pesticide chemical residue in establishing an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue . . .'' and
specifies factors EPA is to consider in establishing an exemption.

III. Risk Assessment and Statutory Findings

    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be shown that the risks from aggregate
exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable
circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order
to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert
ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in
conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to
determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability
and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children. In the case of certain chemical substances that
are defined as polymers, the Agency has established a set of criteria
to identify categories of polymers expected to present minimal or no
risk. The definition of a polymer is given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and the
exclusion criteria for identifying these low-risk polymers are
described in 40 CFR 723.250(d). 2-Methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-
propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-
methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters conforms to the definition of a polymer
given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and meets the following criteria that are
used to identify low-risk polymers.
    1. The polymer is not a cationic polymer nor is it reasonably
anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural aquatic
environment.
    2. The polymer does contain as an integral part of its composition
at least two of the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen,
silicon, and sulfur.
    3. The polymer does not contain as an integral part of its
composition, except as impurities, any element other than those listed
in 40 CFR 723.250(d)(2)(ii).
    4. The polymer is neither designed nor can it be reasonably
anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or depolymerize.
    5. The polymer is manufactured or imported from monomers and/or
reactants that are already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance
Inventory or manufactured under an applicable TSCA section 5 exemption.
    6. The polymer is not a water absorbing polymer with a number
average molecular weight (MW) greater than or equal to 10,000 daltons.
    7. The polymer does not contain certain perfluoroalkyl moieties
consisting of a CF3- or longer chain length as listed in 40 CFR
723.250(d)(6). Additionally, the polymer also meets as required the
following exemption criteria specified in 40 CFR 723.250(e).
    8. The polymer's number average MW of 10,000 is greater than or
equal to 10,000 daltons. The polymer contains less than 2% oligomeric
material below

MW 500 and less than 5% oligomeric material below MW 1,000.
    Thus, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid
monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl
esters meets the criteria for a polymer to be considered low risk under
40 CFR 723.250. Based on its conformance to the criteria in this unit,
no mammalian toxicity is anticipated from dietary, inhalation, or
dermal exposure to 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-
propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-
methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters.

IV. Aggregate Exposures

    For the purposes of assessing potential exposure under this
exemption, EPA considered that 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-
propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-
methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters could be present in all raw and processed
agricultural commodities and drinking water, and that non-occupational
non-dietary exposure was possible. The number average MW of 2-methyl-2-
[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt
polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters is 10,000
daltons. Generally, a polymer of this size would be poorly absorbed
through the intact gastrointestinal tract or through intact human skin.
Since 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid
monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl
esters conform to the criteria that identify a low-risk polymer, there
are no concerns for risks associated with any potential exposure
scenarios that are reasonably foreseeable. The Agency has determined
that a tolerance is not necessary to protect the public health.

V. Cumulative Effects From Substances With a Common Mechanism of
Toxicity

    Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering
whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency
consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of
a particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances that have a
common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA has not found 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-
propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-
methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters to share a common mechanism of toxicity
with any other substances, and 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-
propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid, 2-
methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters does not appear to produce a toxic
metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-
propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-
propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters does not have a common
mechanism of toxicity with other substances. For information regarding
EPA's efforts to determine which chemicals have a common mechanism of
toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see
EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

VI. Additional Safety Factor for the Protection of Infants and Children

    Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the
case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal
toxicity and the completeness of the data base unless EPA concludes
that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and
children. Due to the expected low toxicity of 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-
propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-
propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters, EPA has not used a
safety factor analysis to assess the risk. For the same reasons the
additional tenfold safety factor is unnecessary.

VII. Determination of Safety

    Based on the conformance to the criteria used to identify a low-
risk polymer, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty of no
harm to the U.S. population, including infants and children, from
aggregate exposure to residues of 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-
1-propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer with 2-propenoic acid,
2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters.

VIII. Other Considerations

Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

IX. Conclusion

    Accordingly, EPA finds that exempting residues of 2-methyl-2-[(1-
oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-1-propanesulfonic acid monosodium salt polymer
with 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16 alkyl esters from the
requirement of a tolerance will be safe.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes a tolerance under FFDCA section 408(d) in
response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this action has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance in this
final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this
action

does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as
described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2
U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

XI. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
