ANPRM Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

NOSAC National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee

III. Background and Purpose

    In 1994, an industry group known as the Association of Diving
Contractors (ADC) (now the Association of Diving Contractors
International, or ADCI), asked the Coast Guard to update commercial
diving operation regulations in 46 CFR Part 197, Subpart B. Among other
things, ADC recommended that we incorporate their consensus standards
by reference. In response, we began this rulemaking and published an
advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM, 63 FR 34840, June 26,
1998; comment period extended, 63 FR 50848, Sept. 23, 1998). The ANPRM
referenced ADC's recommendations, and sought public comment on the
necessity and scope of potential regulatory revisions.
    Public comments received in response to the 1998 ANPRM revealed a
deep split of opinion over incorporation of the ADC standards. Although
the majority of commenters favored incorporation of the ADC standards,
many said those standards were either inadequate or, alternatively,
were unnecessarily burdensome and costly for small businesses. Other
industry groups--the Association of Commercial Diving Educators (ACDE)
and the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA)--offered
their own proposals. No further regulatory action was taken. However,
the Coast Guard continued to recognize the need for further regulation
to improve the safety of commercial diving.
    Earlier this year, the Coast Guard received recommendations for
commercial diving regulatory improvements from the National Offshore
Safety Advisory Committee (NOSAC), a Federal advisory committee that
advises the Coast Guard on matters related to operations and safety on
the outer continental shelf including commercial diving safety. We have
placed those recommendations in the docket for this rulemaking and are
in the process of analyzing them for possible action. To assist in our
analysis, we are soliciting public comments on the NOSAC
recommendations, and on other ways in which we might improve our
regulations, in light of experience and lessons learned since 1978, and
since our first ANPRM in 1998. As noted, commercial diving industry
groups were active in responding to the 1998 ANPRM, and we look forward
to hearing from them again. We encourage those groups to work together
to explore possible areas of agreement as to the regulatory changes
that might do most to improve diver safety throughout the industry.
    To assist you in organizing your comments, we invite your
consideration of the following observations:
    1. Industry standards. Our 1978 regulations in Part 197 provide a
minimum framework for commercial diving safety. We are aware that in
many regulated industries, regulated persons and companies often
develop voluntary standards that provide protection at levels equal or
superior to the protection that regulations can provide. Increasingly
since 1978, Federal agencies, including the Coast Guard, have
encouraged the development of, and compliance with, these standards.
They provide regulatory flexibility and can be effective, efficient
tools for attaining regulatory safety objectives. We would like to know
whether such standards exist, or could be developed, for the commercial
diving industry. We could consider incorporating such standards in our
Part 197 regulations, or we could consider accepting compliance with
such standards as equivalent to compliance with our regulations.
    As previously discussed, public comments on our 1998 ANPRM revealed
a deep split of opinions over the adequacy, effectiveness, and cost of
the then-current industry standards. The apparent lack of industry
consensus as to the value of the then-current standards was a major
reason why the Coast Guard took no further regulatory action in the
ensuing decade. Therefore, we strongly encourage commercial diving
industry groups to work together to define standards to which all or
most commercial diving operations can subscribe.
    2. Third-party audits. The Coast Guard prefers to use regulations
as a tool to encourage compliance, before injuries or deaths occur,
rather than as a way of punishing violators in the wake of a tragedy. A
third-party audit system could augment Coast Guard resources and help
commercial diving operators avoid casualties before they happen, by
providing regular monitoring of an operator's compliance with Part 197
or with an equivalent industry standard. The Coast Guard could regulate
third-party auditors, and require commercial diving operators to be
audited following promulgation of a final rule, and then annually and
after any accident resulting in a diver's injury or death.
    3. Compliance documentation. Even with annual compliance audits,
there remains the potential for accidents leading to injury or death.
The best protection against accidents are the diving operation's safety
policies and practices, which need to be encouraged at all
organizational levels beginning

with industry owners and operators. The Coast Guard believes that in
many industries, owners and operators are more aware of safety
requirements and do more to make sure their employees follow those
requirements when they must document their compliance with those
requirements.
    4. Rig No. 12 report. The Coast Guard devotes significant resources
to studying the causes of accidents that result in serious property
losses, injury, or death, so that similar accidents can be avoided in
the future. Lessons learned from tragedy make special demands on us to
give them serious consideration and to implement them if possible. In
the docket for this rulemaking at http://www.Regulations.gov, we are
placing the formal investigation report into a commercial diving death
at Cliff's Drilling Rig No. 12 in 1996. The report includes 13
recommendations and the Coast Guard is considering adopting most of
these, in some cases with modifications.
    5. Regulatory priorities. We have indicated our interest in
industry standards, third-party audits, compliance documentation, and
the Rig No. 12 report recommendations. In addition, we invite you to
comment on overall regulatory approaches or on specific regulatory
requirements that you believe should be a priority for this rulemaking.
We are also inviting comments on current industry practices and changes
in circumstances from conditions existing in 1998.
    6. Costs and Benefits. We request comments on the costs and
benefits of regulatory revisions suggested by the commenters. Providing
us with specific information on the costs and benefits of regulatory
suggestions will assist us with fully evaluating the merits of such
suggestions. We are especially interested in information providing data
on the cost of regulatory suggestions on small entities, and State,
local, and tribal governments.

Reader’s Guide to the Methyl Bromide Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0123

Publication Date: May 2, 2007

EPA has created this document to provide an organizational structure to
the methyl bromide (MeBr) Docket.  The docket index organizes and
explains related documents.  The Agency is providing the Reader’s
Guide to allow the reader to more easily access and navigate the various
items contained in the MeBr docket. Since MeBr is one of six soil
fumigants being evaluated at this time, its docket contains both MeBr
documents as well as other documents related to other fumigants.

Below is an annotated list, with docket entry numbers and organized by
subject matter, of all documents relevant to the current MeBr Phase 5
public comment period.  The docket documents were divided into four
groups; (1) Federal Register and Docket Organizational Documents; (2)
Special Review and Reregistration Division Documents, (3) Health Effects
Division Documents, (4) Biological and Economic Analysis Division
Documents.  A revised Environmental Fate and Ecological Risk Assessment
was not included for Phase 5 since changes were not needed based on
comments received during the Phase 3 comment period. The most recent
version of EPA’s Fate and Ecological Risk Assessment can be found in
the MeBr docket (June 6, 2005 document, Revised Draft Methyl Bromide
Environmental Fate and Ecological Risk Assessment - Following the Review
of 30-Day Error Correction Comments, EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0123-0029)

EPA is seeking public comment all of the Phase 5 documents described
below as well as any other document included in the docket that is
related to MeBr soil, greenhouse, and residential/structural uses such
as EPA’s assessment of methyl bromide’s impact on stratospheric
ozone depletion, as well as the health effects expressed as incremental
number of skin cancer mortality and incidence for U.S. residents.  This
document was previously put in the docket during the Phase 5 comment
period for MeBr commodity uses in the Spring of 2006 (March 17, 2006,
document “Methyl Bromide: Science of Ozone Depletion and Health
Effects Estimates, EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0123-0165).

Docket Item #6:  Methyl Bromide: Phase 5 Health Effects Division (HED)
Human Health Risk Assessment for Soil, Greenhouse, and
Residential/Structural Uses.  PC Code: 053201, DP Barcode: D337288

This document describes the human health risk from the methyl bromide
soil, greenhouse, and residential uses.  Docket items #7 through #36
contain the appendices for this document.

Key considerations as you review the MeBr risk assessment:

Much of the MeBr risk assessment focuses on bystander risk, however EPA
is also seeking comment on mitigation for occupational risk to handlers
(mixers, loaders, and applicators) and post application workers (see
Docket items 2 and 3).

EPA has considered multiple lines of evidence, using the best available
data including information from incidents, actual field monitoring
studies and modeling estimates.

EPA approached the risk assessments for MeBr and the other fumigants
differently from other agricultural pesticide risk assessments.  Because
the fumigants are or are converted to gases shortly after application,
exposures to workers and bystanders are largely through inhalation.
Thus, new methods for estimating concentrations in air through time and
at various distances from the application site were developed.

EPA used an industry model, which relies on EPA’s long-used air
dispersion model, and provides distances at which air concentrations
reach or fall below a concentration that EPA has identified as a level
of concern.

Although the model (as do other industry-developed models) refers to
these outputs as “buffer zones,” they are in fact estimates of air
concentrations at various distances and should not be interpreted as a
decision regarding what mitigation measures (e.g., what specific size
buffer) will be required.

The risk assessments are designed to present risk estimates largely as a
broad spectrum of distances, representing different combinations of
applications factors, such as application rate, number of acres being
treated, type of application method used, and type of sealing method
used.

Later, in developing risk mitigation decisions, EPA will consider
modeling results, information from incidents, and air monitoring
studies, to select practical measures to reduce exposure to soil
fumigants.

methyl bromide and other soil fumigants.

	Biological and Economic Analysis Division (BEAD) Documents

Docket items #41 through #61 contain BEAD’s assessments of the
benefits of soil fumigation with methyl bromide and other soil fumigants
on various crops.  Docket item #59 contains an overall benefits
assessment for methyl bromide.  Docket item#60 provides a list of crops
with significant fumigant use and BEAD’s rationale for choosing these
crops. This document also solicits input from stakeholders on crops that
may have significant use of the above fumigants but that were not
identified by available data.

Key considerations as you review the benefits assessments:

Benefits assessments for MeBr and other fumigants focus on benefits of
the chemicals as they are currently labeled and used.  The assessments
do not yet evaluate the possible impacts associated with the range of
mitigation options under consideration.

The “benefits” have been estimated by comparing the costs associated
with current use to those estimated for use of next best alternative(s).
 Assessments at this stage are limited to consideration of a
hypothetical situation in which new restrictions would make a grower’s
first choice of fumigant use for pest control less practical than use of
an alternative.

This approach helps EPA to understand the “worst case” and predict
possible consequences if new restrictions were to make the use of a
grower’s first choice pest control fumigant less feasible than the
next best alternative.

EPA is particularly interested in receiving information on the economic
impact of various mitigation options in particular crops and locations
during this Phase 5 comment period.

Later, in developing risk mitigation decisions, EPA will consider the
benefits of soil fumigant use and the predicted impacts of mitigation
options.

                                      at 11:30

Hello again Kathy,

I'm still reading, but here are some topics we could address in our

meeting this morning at 11:30 :

- Unidentified Controls / Extrap Costs  (This is probably the highest

priority)

- Benefits baseline

- Follow up on Amanda's question about rules assumed in the baseline

- Scenario selection - OMB recommends that .5 mg/m3 should also be

analyzed

- Briefly: Could we walk through again how we moved from 189 monitors to

36 (regrets to be asking for a repeat on this subject)

- Air Qual Assessment Tool:  Re-entrained dust component, plan to

change/update for final rule RIA

Next steps, including:

- Setting aside time to walk through a few line-by-line comments and/or

questions

- Outline what changes are likely to be feasible and high priority

before signature of this proposal

- Begin to identify changes for draft final rule RIA

I hope this is helpful!  Regrets for the short notice;

heidi

I'm sure there will be plenty of other items to discuss, I did not

organize in interagency group but rather am assembling comments -- I'm

working on assembling comments now and hopefully will have something to

you in advance of the mtg

At the very least I'll be somewhat organized.

Thanks again, Kathy --

Heidi, quick typo correction in the file I sent yesterday (see attached

email):

In the answer to the first question, "from leaded avgas" was left out of

the following sentence.  It should read:

"In addition, we do not have cost estimates regarding the control of

lead emissions from leaded avgasand we can't assume a priori that these

control measures would be either more, or less expensive than point

source controls."

Thanks.  Sorry about that.

I'm pretty close to being able to get you the changes you requested (to chapters 4 and 6, for the most part), but need to check my language with a couple others.  Those chapters should come Monday.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0135; FRL-8804-9]

Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily Cancel Certain
Pesticide Registrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a
notice of receipt of request by registrants to voluntarily cancel
certain pesticide registrations.

DATES: Unless a request is withdrawn by July 12, 2010 or February 12,
2010 for registrations for which the registrant requested a waiver of
the 180-day comment period, orders will be issued canceling these
registrations. The Agency will consider withdrawal requests postmarked
no later than July 12, 2010 or February 12, 2010, whichever is
applicable. Comments must be received on or before July 12, 2010 or
February 12, 2010, for those registrations where the 180-day comment
period has been waived.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments and your withdrawal request, identified
by docket identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0135, by one of
the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the on-line instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public
Docket (7502P), Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. Written Withdrawal Request,
Attention: John Jamula, Information Technology and Resources Management
Division (7502P).
     Delivery: OPP Regulatory Public Docket (7502P),

    Instructions: Direct your comments to docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2009-0135. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the docket without change and may be made available on-line at
http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov website is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index
available in regulations.gov. To access the electronic docket, go to
http://www.regulations.gov, select ``Advanced Search,'' then ``Docket
Search.'' Insert the docket ID number where indicated and select the
``Submit'' button. Follow the instructions on the regulations.gov
website to view the docket index or access available documents.
Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly
available, e.g., CBI or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are
available either in the electronic docket at http://
www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard copy, at the OPP
Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac Yard (South Bldg.),
2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The hours of operation of this
Docket Facility are from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,
excluding legal holidays. The Docket Facility telephone number is (703)
305-5805.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. Although this
action may be of particular interest to persons who produce or use
pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the information in this notice, consult the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of applications from
registrants to cancel 81 pesticide products registered under section 3
or 24(c) of FIFRA. These registrations are listed in sequence by

III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register. Thereafter, the Administrator may approve such a request.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before July 12, 2010. This
written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to
the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If
the product(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also
include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill
any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks for 1 year after the date the cancellation request was received.
This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as
prescribed in the Federal Register of June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL-
3846-4). Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product
poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration
requirements, or is subject to a data call-in. In all cases, product-
specific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders.
    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply,
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be
distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and
labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will
be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale,
distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already
been imposed, as in a special review action, or where the Agency has
identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a
particular chemical.
