SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60370; File No. SR-CBOE-2009-033]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change Regarding Statutory
Disqualification Procedures

July 23, 2009.

I. Introduction

    On May 26, 2009, the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated
(``CBOE'' or the ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``SEC'' or ``Commission'') a proposed rule change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Exchange Act''), and Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\2\ The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on June 22,
2009.\3\ The Commission received no comments on the proposal. This
order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60106 (June 12,
2009), 74 FR 29525 (June 22, 2009) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    Exchange Act Rule 19h-1 \4\ prescribes the form and content of, and
establishes the mechanism by which the Commission reviews, proposals
submitted by self-regulatory organizations (``SROs''), such as CBOE, to
allow a member or associated person subject to a statutory
disqualification to become or remain a member or associated with a
member. Among other things, Rule 19h-1 provides for Commission review
of notices filed by SROs proposing to admit any person to, or continue
any person in, membership or association with a member, notwithstanding
a statutory disqualification. However, Exchange Act Rule 19h-1(a)(2)\5\
and Exchange Act Rule 19h-1(a)(3)\6\ provide that for certain persons,
and in limited circumstances, a notice does not need to be filed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19h-1.
    \5\ Exchange Act Rule 19h-1(a)(2), 17 CFR 240.19h-1(a)(2),
provides that a notice need not be filed with the Commission,
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 19h-1, regarding an associated person
subject to a statutory disqualification if the person's activities
with respect to the member are solely clerical or ministerial in
nature and such person does not have access to funds, securities, or
books and records.
    \6\ Exchange Act Rule 19h-1(a)(3), 17 CFR 240.19h-1(a)(3),
provides that a notice need not be filed with the Commission,
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 19h-1, regarding a person or member
subject to a statutory disqualification if the person or member
proposed for continued association or membership, respectively,
satisfies the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 19h-1(a)(3)(i)-(vi).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE Rule 3.18(a) provides that CBOE may determine not to permit a
member or an associated person of a member who is or becomes subject to
a statutory disqualification under the Exchange Act,\7\ to continue in
membership or in association with a member. Under Rule 3.18(b), a
member or an associated person who is or becomes subject to a statutory
disqualification and wishes to continue in membership or in association
with a member must submit an application to the Exchange to do so. When
the Exchange receives such an application, or otherwise becomes aware
that a member or an associated person is subject to a statutory
disqualification, the Exchange is required to appoint a panel to
conduct a hearing under the procedures set forth in Rule 3.18 to
determine whether to allow the member or associated person to continue
in membership or in association with a member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interpretation and Policy .03 to Rule 3.18 currently permits the
Exchange to waive the hearing provisions of Rule 3.18 when the Exchange
intends to grant an associated person's application for continued
association and the Exchange is not required to make a notice filing
with the Commission under Exchange Act Rule 19h-1(a)(2).\8\ The
Exchange proposed to expand its ability to waive the hearing provisions
of Rule 3.18 when the Exchange intends to grant a member's or
associated person's application for continued membership or association
and the Exchange is not required to make a notice filing with the
Commission under Exchange Act Rule 19h-1(a)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56614 (October 4,
2007), 72 FR 58132 (October 12, 2007) (SR-CBOE-2007-14).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CBOE also proposed to waive the hearing provisions of Rule 3.18
when it determines to allow a member to continue in membership, or an
associated person to continue in association with a member, and CBOE
determines that it is otherwise appropriate to waive the hearing
provisions of Rule 3.18 under the circumstances. For example, a
settlement agreement for a disciplinary matter involving CBOE and
multiple regulators or SROs could fully address statutory
disqualification issues, obviating the need for a CBOE hearing on those
same issues. The Exchange might also choose to exercise this waiver
authority when no regulatory purpose would be served by conducting a
hearing under Rule 3.18, such as when the Commission initiated the
proceeding regarding the underlying conduct that resulted in the
statutory disqualification and the sanction imposed in the matter does
not inhibit the applicable party's ability to continue as an Exchange
member or associated person.
    Interpretation and Policy .01 to Rule 3.18 (``Rule 3.18.01'')
provides that the Exchange may waive the provisions of Rule 3.18 when a
proceeding is pending before another SRO to determine whether to permit
a member or an associated person to continue in

membership or association with the member notwithstanding a statutory
disqualification. When the Exchange exercises this waiver authority,
Rule 3.18.01 currently provides that the Exchange Department of
Financial and Sales Practice Compliance shall determine whether the
Exchange will concur in any the Exchange Act Rule 19h-1 filing made by
another SRO. The Exchange proposed to make two clarifying changes to
this provision. First, the Exchange proposed to replace the reference
to the ``Department of Financial and Sales Practice Compliance'' with
the ``Exchange'' because the Exchange no longer has a department by
that name. Second, the Exchange proposed to include the words ``member
or'' in the last sentence of Rule 3.18.01 to clarify that the Exchange
may concur in any Exchange Act Rule 19h-1 filing made by another SRO
with respect to a member or an associated person. This change is
consistent with the rest of Rule 3.18.01.

III. Discussion

    The Commission has carefully reviewed the proposed rule change and
finds that it is generally consistent with Section 6(b)\9\ of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a
national securities exchange.\10\ In particular, the Commission finds
that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange
Act,\11\ which requires the rules of a national securities exchange to,
among other things, be designed to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and, in general, to protect
investor and the public interest. The Commission believes that the
proposed rule change will enable CBOE to more efficiently administer
its statutory disqualification program while at the same time
protecting investors and the public interest by allowing CBOE to
reallocate resources that would otherwise be spent on unnecessary
statutory disqualification hearings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \10\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Exchange Act,\12\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CBOE-2009-033) be,
and hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\13\

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:A 75 day period time to review the proposed regulations is insufficient. I am requesting that the review period be extended to 180 days.

I would be very saddened to see the smaller vendors of electronic cigarette liquid forced out of business by these regulations as i find their offerings to be superior.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-61485; File No. SR-OCC-2010-01]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to Options for Which the Premium and Exercise Price Are
Expressed as a Multiple of the Per-Share Amount

February 3, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,\1\ notice is hereby given that on January 14, 2010, The Options
Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been prepared primarily by OCC. OCC filed
the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the
Act \2\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) thereunder \3\ so that the proposal was
effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change would revise OCC's By-Laws and Rules to
accommodate options for which the premium and exercise price are
expressed on other than a per-unit basis.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    The purpose of this rule change is to revise OCC By-Law, Article
I.A.5 (definition of ``Aggregate Exercise Price'') and OCC Rule
805(d)(2) to accommodate options for which the premium and exercise
price are expressed as other than a per-unit basis. NYSE Amex LLC
(``NYSE Amex'') is proposing to trade physically-settled options on
exchange-traded funds (``ETFs'') with a unit of trading of 1,000 shares
(``Grand Options'') rather than the standard unit of trading of 100
shares.
    When NYSE Amex previously introduced ETF options with units of
trading of 1,000 shares, NYSE Amex followed the usual convention of
quoting premiums and exercise prices as per-share amounts. The extended
premium and aggregate exercise price were then calculated in the usual
way by multiplying the per-share amount by the unit of trading (i.e.
1,000). In NYSE Amex's experience, this approach caused investor
confusion because investors in some cases failed to realize that they
were trading large-sized options until premiums equal to ten times the
expected amount were debited from their accounts. To address this, NYSE
Amex intends to modify the standard method of stating premiums and
exercise prices for Grand Options by multiplying the per-share amount
by 10. Extended premiums and exercise prices for such contracts would
then be calculated by multiplying by 100 rather than the actual unit of
trading of 1,000. NYSE Amex believes that, by increasing the size of
the stated premiums and exercise prices by a factor of 10, the larger
size of these options will be more apparent to investors.
    To accommodate options for which the premium and exercise price are
expressed as a multiple of the per-share amount, OCC proposes to make
minor technical amendments to a few definitions in its By-Laws and to
its rule governing expiration date exercise procedures. The changes
being proposed can be viewed at http://www.optionsclearing.com/
components/docs/legal/rules_and_bylaws/sr_occ_10_01.pdf.
    OCC believes that the proposed changes to OCC's By-Laws and Rules
are consistent with the purposes and requirements of Section 17A of the
Act \4\ because the changes promote the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of Grand Options, protect investors by reducing the
likelihood of investor confusion, and permit Grand Options to be
traded, cleared, and settled in the same basic manner as other
currently available options and be subject to the same rules and
procedures that have been successfully used by OCC to clear and settle
other options. Furthermore, OCC states that the proposed rule change is
not inconsistent with OCC's existing rules, including those proposed to
be amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    OCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any
burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    OCC has not solicited or received written comments relating to the
proposed rule change. OCC will notify the Commission of any written
comments it receives.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \5\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) \6\ thereunder
because the proposed rule change effects a change in an existing
service of a registered clearing agency that (i) does not adversely
affect the safeguarding of securities or funds in the custody or
control of the clearing agency or for

which it is responsible and (ii) does not significantly affect the
respective rights or obligations of the clearing agency or persons
using the service. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule
if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Multnomah County has requested that the
Broadway Bascule Bridge remain closed to vessel traffic to facilitate
safe, uninterrupted roadway passage of participants of the Race for the
Roses event. The Broadway Bridge crosses the Willamette River at mile
11.7 and provides 90 feet of vertical clearance above Columbia River
Datum 0.0 while in the closed position. Vessels which do not require a
bridge opening may continue to transit beneath the bridge during this
closure period. Under normal conditions this bridge operates in
accordance with 33 CFR 117.897(c) which allows for the bridge to remain
closed between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through
Friday and also requires advance notification when a bridge opening is
needed. This deviation period is from 6:30 a.m. on April 1, 2012
through 7:30 a.m. April 1, 2012. The deviation allows the bascule span
of the Broadway Bridge across the Willamette River, mile 11.7, to
remain in the closed position and need not open for maritime traffic
for one hour from 6:30 a.m. through 7:30 a.m. on April 1, 2012. The
bridge shall operate in accordance to 33 CFR 117.897 at all other
times. Waterway usage on this stretch of the Willamette River includes
vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft.
Mariners will be notified and kept informed of the bridge's operational
status via the Coast Guard Notice to Mariners publication and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners as appropriate. The draw span will be required to
open, if needed, for vessels engaged in emergency response operations
during this closure period.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: February 22, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the ``Additional Information'' section
in the NPRM (77 FR 30054) for further information on how to comment on
the proposals in the NPRM and how the FAA will handle comments
received. The ``Additional Information'' section also contains related
information about the docket, privacy, and the handling of proprietary
or confidential business information. In addition, there is information
on obtaining copies of related rulemaking documents.

Background

    On May 21, 2012, the FAA issued Notice No. 12-03, entitled ``Repair
Stations'' (77 FR 30054). Comments to that document were to be received
on or before August 20, 2012.
    By letter dated August 3, 2012, nine associations representing a
large cross-section of the aviation industry jointly requested that the
FAA extend the comment period for 90 days (Aeronautical Repair Station
Association, Aerospace Industries Association, Aircraft Electronics
Association, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Airlines for
America, Helicopter Association International, National Air Carrier
Association, National Air Transportation Association, and Regional
Airline Association). The petitioners stated that good cause and need
for an extended comment period arises from the scope and extent of the
proposed changes, coupled with the effects it will have between and
among individual companies represented by the petitioners. Further, the
petitioners noted that many repair stations are small businesses which
do not have departments or personnel dedicated to reviewing regulatory
changes. As such, they may not be aware of the proposals, and the
petitioners need more time to reach these small businesses and gather
their input. Finally, the petitioners stated that more time is needed
to consolidate its members' comments and coordinate these comments
among the group.
    The FAA agrees with the petitioners' request for an extension of
the comment period. We recognize the NPRM's contents are significant
and complex. Further, we understand that it is the intention of the
petitioners to continue to canvass their members for comments, and to
coordinate and consolidate the additional comments.
    Absent unusual circumstances, the FAA does not anticipate any
further extension of the comment period for this rulemaking.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with Sec.  11.47(c) of Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, the FAA has reviewed the joint petition made by the nine
associations for extension of the comment period to Notice No. 12-03.
These petitioners have shown a substantive interest in the proposed
rule and good cause for the extension. The FAA has determined that
extension of the comment period is consistent with the public interest,
and that good cause exists for taking this action.
    Accordingly, the comment period for Notice No. 12-03 is extended to
November 19, 2012.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on August 13, 2012.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Airbus Helicopters Model EC155B1 helicopters. This proposed AD
was prompted by reports of failure of the main gearbox (MGB) oil
cooling fan hub (fan hub). This proposed AD would require for
helicopters with an affected part (fan hub) installed, using an
endoscope, repetitively inspecting the fan hub, including the area
around the fan hub attachment screws, for a crack. Depending on the
inspection results, this proposed AD would require performing
additional inspections and replacing an affected fan hub. This proposed
AD would also allow an affected fan hub to be installed on a helicopter
if certain actions are accomplished, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation
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 June 26,
2023.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued a series of EASA ADs with the most recent
being EASA AD 2022-0006R2, dated January 31, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-
0006R2), to correct an unsafe condition for Airbus Helicopters Model EC
155 B1 helicopters.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of failure of the fan hub.
The FAA is proposing this AD to inspect for cracks on and around the
fan hub. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an
undetected loss of lubrication of the MGB or engine and reduced control
of the helicopter.
    You may examine EASA AD 2022-0006R2 in the AD docket at
regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2023-0937.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2022-0006R2 requires, for helicopters with a certain part-
numbered fan hub installed, repetitively inspecting the fan hub,
including the area around the fan hub attachment screws, for a crack.
EASA AD 2022-0006R2 also requires, if there is a crack, additional
inspections, replacing an affected fan hub, and sending certain
information to Airbus Helicopters.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA also reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No.
EC155-05A039, Revision 0, dated January 6, 2022. This service
information specifies procedures, using an endoscope, to inspect the
fan hub and the fan hub attachment screws for a crack. This service
information also specifies procedures to interpret the results of the
endoscope inspection; and depending on the results, performing close
monitoring, replacing an affected fan hub, and sending certain
information to Airbus Helicopters.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
on other helicopters of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2022-0006R2, described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this proposed AD and except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the EASA AD.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2022-0006R2 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2022-0006R2 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 EASA AD 2022-0006R2 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 EASA AD 2022-
0006R2. Service information referenced in EASA AD 2022-0006R2 for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-
2023-0937 after the FAA final rule is published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2022-0006R2 requires replacing each affected fan hub with a
serviceable fan hub if any crack is detected, whereas this proposed AD
would require removing each affected fan hub from service and replacing
it with a serviceable fan hub if any crack is detected.
    Service information referenced in EASA AD 2022-0006R2 specifies
sending certain information, including pictures, to the manufacturer,
whereas this proposed AD would not.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers that this proposed AD would be an interim action.
If final action is later identified, the FAA might consider further
rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 10 helicopters of U.S. Registry. Labor rates are estimated at
$85 per work-hour. Based on these numbers, the FAA

estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed AD.
    Inspecting the fan hub including each fan hub attachment screw and
interpreting the results would take about 1 work-hour for an estimated
cost of $85 per inspection and $850 for the U.S. fleet per inspection
cycle.
    Replacing an affected fan hub with a serviceable fan hub would take
about 8 work-hours and parts would cost about $7,273 for an estimated
cost of $7,953 per fan hub replacement.

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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of April 15, 2020 (85 FR 20910) (FRL-10006-
54), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
9F8810) by Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, 410 Swing Road, Greensboro,
NC 27409. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.505 be amended by
establishing a tolerance for residues of the insecticide emamectin
benzoate (a mixture of a minimum of 90% 4'-epi-methylamino-4'-
deoxyavermectin B1a and a maximum of 10% 4'-epi-methlyamino-
4'deoxyavermectin B1b benzoate), and its metabolites 8,9 isomer of the
B1a and B1b in or on tea leaves at 0.2 parts per million (ppm). That
document referenced a summary of the petition prepared by Syngenta Crop
Protection, LLC, the registrant, which is available in the docket,
http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response
to the notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA is
establishing tolerances that vary from what is requested. The reason
for these changes is explained in Unit IV.D.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(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 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 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. . .
.''
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for emamectin benzoate including
exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action.
EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with emamectin
benzoate follows.
    In an effort to streamline Federal Register publications, EPA is
not reprinting here summaries of its analysis that have previously
appeared in the Federal Register in previous tolerance rulemakings for
the same pesticide. To that end, this rulemaking refers the reader to
several sections from the August 27, 2019 tolerance rulemaking for
residues of emamectin benzoate that remain unchanged for an
understanding of the Agency's rationale in support of this rulemaking.
See (84 FR 44718) (FRL-9997-10). Those sections are: Units III.A
(Toxicological Profile); III.B. (Toxicological Points of Departure/
Levels of Concern); III.C. (Exposure Assessment), except as explained
in the next paragraphs; III.D. (Safety Factor for Infants and
Children); and IV.A (Analytical Enforcement Method).
    Exposure assessment updates. EPA's exposure assessments have been
updated to include the additional exposure from residues of emamectin
benzoate in or on tea commodities. The assessments continue to be
refined as described in the August 27, 2019 tolerance rule preamble.
The residues of emamectin benzoate on tea commodities is not being
approved for domestic use, so no changes were made to EPA's drinking
water assessment or residential exposure assessment.
    Assessment of aggregate risks. EPA determines whether acute and
chronic dietary pesticide exposures are safe by comparing aggregate
exposure estimates to the acute PAD (aPAD) and chronic PAD (cPAD).
Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by
comparing the estimated aggregate food, water, and residential exposure
to the appropriate PODs to ensure that an adequate MOE exists. For
linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the lifetime probability of
acquiring cancer given the estimated aggregate exposure.
    Acute dietary risks are below the Agency's level of concern: 26% of
the acute population adjusted dose (aPAD) for children 1 to 2 years
old, the population group of concern. Chronic dietary risks are below
the Agency's level of concern: 3.4% of the chronic population adjusted
dose (cPAD) for children 1 to 2 years old, the group with the highest
exposure. As there are no residential exposures expected, aggregate
risks are equivalent to the dietary risks, which are below the Agency's
levels of concern. Based on the most recent screening-level cumulative
exposure assessment, EPA has concluded the cumulative aggregate dietary
and residential exposures for emamectin benzoate result in aggregate
margins of exposures above the level of concern of 100 for all
scenarios assessed and are not of concern.
    Determination of safety. Therefore, based on the risk assessments
and information described above, EPA concludes there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to the general population or to
infants and children from aggregate exposure to emamectin benzoate
residues. More detailed information on the subject action to establish
a tolerance in or on tea commodities can be found in the document
entitled, ``Emamectin (Emamectin Benzoate). Human Health Risk
Assessment in Support of Establishing Tolerances without a U.S.
Registration for Residues of Emamectin in/on Tea Commodities'' by going
to http://www.regulations.gov. The referenced document is available in
the docket established by this action, which

is described under ADDRESSES. Locate and click on the hyperlink for
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0064.

IV. Other Considerations

A. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food
standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for emamectin benzoate.

B. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances

    The tolerance on tea commodities is being set at 0.5 ppm instead of
the proposed level at 0.2 ppm in order to harmonize with the Japanese
MRL. For the proposed tolerance on tea, the commodity definition was
revised to include the standard commodities of ``tea, dried'' and
``tea, instant.''

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of emamectin
benzoate (a mixture of a minimum of 90% 4'-epi-methylamino-4'-
deoxyavermectin B1a and a maximum of 10% 4'-epi-methlyamino-
4'deoxyavermectin B1b benzoate) and its metabolites in or on tea, dried
and tea, instant at 0.5 ppm.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes tolerances 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), nor is it considered a
regulatory action under Executive Order 13771, entitled ``Reducing
Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' (82 FR 9339, February 3,
2017). 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).

VII. 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).
