ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0061; FRL-8134-7]

Azinphos-methyl; Notice of Receipt of Requests to Terminate Uses
and Voluntarily Cancel 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), EPA is issuing a notice of
receipt of requests by the registrants to amend their registrations to
terminate certain uses of products containing the pesticide azinphos-
methyl (AZM) and to cancel their registrations by September 30, 2012.
The requests would terminate AZM use on Brussels sprouts and nursery
stock not sooner than the later of September 30, 2007 or 90 days from
the date EPA approves draft labeling submitted by the registrants;
terminate AZM use on walnuts, almonds, and pistachios by October 30,
2009; and cancel all AZM products by September 30, 2012. The
cancellation requests would serve to terminate the five uses of AZM
(apples, pears, cherries, blueberries and parsley) remaining in 2012.
The registrants have conditioned these requests on EPA making certain
determinations regarding AZM, including a determination, by not later
than November 11, 2011, regarding the availability of AZM alternatives.
EPA intends to grant these requests at the close of the comment period
for this announcement unless the Agency receives substantive comments
within the comment period that would merit its further review of the
requests. Any sale, distribution, or use of products listed in this
notice will be permitted only if such sale, distribution, or use is
consistent with the terms as described in the final order acting upon
these requests.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be

deadline identified.

II. Background on the Receipt of Requests to Cancel and/or Amend
Registrations to Delete Uses

    AZM is an organophosphate insecticide that was first registered in
the United States in 1959. It is currently used on apples, blueberries,
cherries, pears, parsley, Brussels sprouts, nursery stock, almonds,
walnuts, and pistachios. On November 16, 2006, EPA issued a
determination that the farm worker and ecological risks of AZM require
the phaseout of all remaining AZM uses by 2012. In conjunction with
that determination, in letters dated November 15, 2006, November 16,
2006, November 17, 2006, and November 24, 2006, Bayer CropScience,
Arysta LifeScience, Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc., and Gowan
Company, respectively, requested that EPA terminate certain uses in
2007 and 2009 and cancel all affected product registrations in 2012
(identified in Table 1 of this notice), subject to certain terms and
conditions. Specifically they requested the deletion of the Brussels
sprouts and nursery stock uses from their registrations not sooner than
the later of September 30, 2007 or 90 days from the date EPA approves
draft labeling submitted by the registrants; deletion of the walnut,
almond, and pistachio uses not sooner than October 30, 2009; and the
cancellation of all AZM registrations (thereby ending AZM use on
apples, pears, cherries, blueberries, and parsley) not sooner than
September 30, 2012.
    Other terms and conditions described in the letters include:
    1. A condition that the requests for termination of use and
voluntary cancellation shall not be made effective until EPA conducts
an independent scientific review of a submission from the registrants
requesting reconsideration of EPA's decision to maintain an inter-
species uncertainty factor in its risk assessment of AZM for
agricultural workers; and
    2. A condition that the requests for voluntary cancellation of all
AZM products shall not become effective unless
    i. EPA holds at least one public meeting to obtain views regarding
the continued need for access to AZM prior to July 1, 2011; and
    ii. EPA makes a determination not later than November 1, 2011 for
the remaining uses of AZM whether to conduct a risk-benefit analysis
for AZM prior to the cancellation of these uses.
    If the actions described above result in the retention of any AZM
use beyond the stop-use date (as provided in the existing stocks
provisions below and in appendix A of the November 16, 2006 Final
Decisions for the Remaining Uses of Azinphos-methyl), the registrants
may request that product labeling be amended consistent with the terms
of such actions and EPA shall grant any amendment that is consistent
with such actions and the provisions of 40 CFR part 156.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to terminate uses and cancel all AZM product registrations. The
affected products and the registrants making the requests are
identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. EPA believes this is the
complete list of all such products; however, the registrants' requests
extend to all AZM products irrespective of whether they are
specifically listed in the tables below.
    Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, registrants may request, at any
time, that their pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to
terminate one or more pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA
requires that before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation,
EPA must provide a 30-day public comment period on the request for
voluntary cancellation or use termination. In addition, section
6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period
on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of

any minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The Administrator determines that continued use of the pesticide
would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The AZM registrants have requested that EPA waive the 180-day
comment period. EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed requests.
    Unless the Agency determines that there are substantive comments
that warrant further review of this request, an order will be issued
amending and canceling the affected registrations.

IV. 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 or amended to terminate one or more uses. 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,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    For purposes of this notice, EPA considers existing stocks to be
those stocks of registered pesticide products which are currently in
the United States and which were packaged, labeled, and released for
shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for amendments to
terminate uses, the Agency proposes to include the following provisions
for the treatment of any existing stocks of the products identified or
referenced in Table 1. These provisions are consistent with the
requests for use deletions and requests for voluntary cancellations
outlined in Unit II. of this notice:
    1. Distribution or sale. i. EPA intends to prohibit distribution or
sale of products bearing the Brussels sprouts and nursery stock uses
not sooner than the later of September 30, 2007 or 90 days from the
date EPA approves draft labeling submitted by the registrants, except
that sale or distribution of products bearing these uses for the
purposes of proper disposal, reformulation, relabeling, or export
consistent with section 17 of FIFRA may continue until such stocks are
depleted.
    ii. For products bearing all other uses, EPA intends to prohibit
distribution or sale of such products after September 30, 2012 except
that sale or distribution of such products for the purposes of proper
disposal, reformulation, relabeling, or export consistent with section
17 of FIFRA may continue until such stocks are depleted.
    2. Use. EPA intends to prohibit use of the subject products on:
    i. Brussels sprouts and nursery stock after September 30, 2007 or
90 days from the date EPA approves draft labeling submitted by the
registrants;
    ii. Walnuts, almonds, and pistachios after October 30, 2009; and
    iii. All remaining uses (apples, pears, cherries, blueberries and
parsley) after September 30, 2012.
The stop use dates for the uses listed in items ii. and iii. above will
also be reflected on amended product labeling. Any use of existing
stocks must be consistent with the directions for use on product
labeling. If the request for voluntary cancellation and use termination
is granted, the Agency intends to publish the cancellation order in the
Federal Register.

Airworthiness Directives; Agusta S.p.A. Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive
(AD) for Agusta S.p.A. (Agusta) Model A119 and AW119 MKII helicopters.
The existing AD currently requires inspecting the pilot and copilot
engine rotary variable differential transformer (RVDT) control box
assemblies to determine if the control gear locking pin is in its
proper position. Since we issued that AD, Agusta has developed a
terminating action for this inspection. The proposed actions are
intended to prevent failure of an RVDT control box assembly, loss of
manual control of the engine throttle, and subsequent loss of control
of the helicopter.

Discussion

    On July 16, 2010, we issued Emergency AD 2010-15-51, and on August
4, 2010, we issued the Final Rule, Request for Comment, for that AD as
amendment 39-16397 (75 FR 50863, August 18, 2010) for all Agusta model
A119 and AW119 MKII helicopters. That AD requires inspecting the pilot
and co-pilot control box assemblies for the proper positioning of the
locking pins, and if the locking pin is recessed or extended in excess
of 2.0 millimeters from the face of the pin bore, or missing, replacing
the control box assembly. That AD was prompted by a report that an RVDT
locking pin that was installed on an AW119 MKII helicopter moved from
its proper position, resulting in disconnect between the pilot and co-
pilot throttle controls.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2010-15-51, the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2011-0095-E, dated May 24, 2011, to
permanently correct this unsafe condition for the Agusta A119 and AW

MKII helicopters. EASA advises that Agusta has developed a modification
to the pilot and co-pilot control box assemblies that will ``remedy the
problem and prevent recurrence.'' This EASA AD requires repetitive
inspections of the affected pilot and co-pilot control box assemblies
until a terminating action modification is made within 8 calendar
months of the effective date of the EASA AD.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with Italy, the EASA, their technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by the EASA and determined the unsafe condition is
likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of the same type
design.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed Agusta Alert Bollettino Tecnico (ABT) No. 119-39
Revision A, dated May 23, 2011 (ABT 119-39). The ABT 119-39 describes
procedures for repetitively inspecting the pilot and co-pilot control
box assemblies for correct positioning of the engine RVDT control gear
locking pin and provides instructions on how to modify the pilot and
co-pilot control box assemblies to terminate the repetitive
inspections. The EASA classified this ABT as mandatory and issued EAD
No. 2011-0095-E, dated May 24, 2011, to ensure the continued
airworthiness of these helicopters.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain the inspection requirements of AD
2010-15-51, which requires a repetitive inspection of the pilot and
copilot RVDT control box assembly locking pins for proper position,
until both assemblies are modified. Additionally, we are proposing to
require, within 8 months, modifying the pilot control box assembly, P/N
109-0010-81-103, and the co-pilot control box assembly, P/N 109-0010-
81-107, in accordance with specified procedures contained in the ABT to
terminate the requirements for the repetitive inspections.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 49 helicopters of
U.S. Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs
in order to comply with this AD. Inspecting the two RVDT control box
assemblies would require about 1.5 hours at an average labor rate of
$85 per work hour, for a cost per helicopter of about $128 and a cost
to the U.S. fleet of about $6,272 per inspection cycle.
    Modification of the pilot and co-pilot RVDT control box assemblies
would require about 8 hours at an average labor rate of $85 per work
hour, and required parts would cost about $8, for a total cost per
helicopter of $688 and a cost to the U.S. fleet of $33,712.

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.
    We are 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

    We 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, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2010-0003; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1139]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or to show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before October 25, 2010.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1139, to
Kevin C. Long, Acting Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-
mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin C. Long, Acting Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations
are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

    Take notice that on September 26, 2019, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting authorization to construct new (1)
30,000 ISO-rated horsepower (HP) compressor station (CS) in Calcasieu
Parish, Louisiana; (2) 0.2 miles of 20-inch-diameter interconnecting
piping in Cameron Parish, Louisiana; (3) three metering and regulating
(M&R) stations and other appurtenances in Cameron, Beauregard, and

project will generate 750,000 dekatherms per day of additional firm
transportation capacity to a new interconnect with TransCameron
Pipeline, LLC (TransCameron). Texas Eastern is also seeking approval to
establish and charge initial incremental recourse reservation and usage
rates and an incremental fuel percentage for firm service, all as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
    The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov
using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last
three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Lisa
A. Connolly, Director, Rates and Certificates, Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251, by phone (713)
627-4102, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>, or email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Specifically, Texas Eastern proposes to construct and operate (1) a
new CS in Calcasieu Parish, comprised of one 30,000 ISO-rated HP,
natural gas-driven turbine compressor unit and related appurtenances;
(2) a new delivery M&R station and related facilities, including 0.2
miles of 20-inch-diameter interconnecting piping, at a new interconnect
with TransCameron's pipeline system in Cameron Parish; (3) a new
receipt M&R station and related facilities at a new interconnect with
Momentum Midstream, LLC in Beauregard Parish; (4) a new bi-directional
M&R station and related facilities at a new interconnect with Trunkline
Gas Company, LLC in Jefferson Davis Parish; (5) installation of
equipment, including a filter separator and regulator at the Gillis CS
in Beauregard Parish; and (6) other related auxiliary facilities and
appurtenances. The cost of the proposed project is estimated at
$149,000,000.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules (18 CFR 157.9),
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of
all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance

with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA
(18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the
service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. A party must submit five copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new NGA section 3 or
section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a party to a
certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. If seeking
to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to show good cause why
the time limitation should be waived, and should provide justification
by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of the Commission's
Rules and Regulations.\2\

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

    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at
http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit original and five copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington,
DC 20426.

Keith

another question

for greenfield kilns that use to have a 50 ppm THC standard but these kilns are existing kilns under this rule,

the promulgation of the final rule eliminated the 50 ppm THC standard so these sources would not have an applicable THC standard till 3 yrs after September 9  - Correct?

thanks
