SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would remove NOTAM part-time information from Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D airspace at Godman Army Airfield,
Fort Knox, KY, and Bowman Field Airport, Louisville, KY.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by removing the NOTAM part-time status of
the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface
area at Godman Army Airfield (AAF) Fort Knox, KY; and Bowman Field
Airport, Louisville, KY. Also, this action would amend Class D
airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace areas
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface would be
adjusted by updating the geographic coordinates of these airports to be
in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order
7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory
Evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated,
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

II. Background

A. What action is the agency taking?

    This document announces the final second list of 109 chemicals
identified for Tier 1 screening under the Endocrine Disruptor Screening
Program (EDSP). The EDSP is established under section 408(p) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which requires EPA to
develop a chemical screening program using appropriate validated test
systems and other scientifically relevant information to determine
whether certain substances may have hormonal effects. After considering
comments received on the draft second list of chemicals and substances
published in the Federal Register notice of November 17, 2010 (75 FR
70248) (FRL-8848-7) (Ref. 1), EPA is announcing the final list of the
second group of chemicals that will be subject to screening based on
the approach described in the notice--``Endocrine Disruptor Screening
Program; Final Policies and Procedures for Screening Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA) Chemicals,'' published elsewhere in today's Federal
Register.
    The EDSP consists of a two-tiered approach to screen and test
chemicals for potential endocrine disrupting effects. The purpose of
Tier 1 screening is to identify substances that have the potential to
interact with the endocrine system (specifically the estrogen,
androgen, or thyroid hormone systems) using a battery of assays.
Substances that have the potential to interact with estrogen, androgen
or thyroid systems may proceed to Tier 2, which is designed to identify
any adverse endocrine-related effects caused by the

substance, and establish a quantitative relationship between the dose
and that endocrine effect. This second list should not be construed as
a list of known or likely endocrine disruptors. Nothing in the approach
for generating the second list provides a basis to infer that by simply
being on this list these chemicals are suspected to interfere with the
endocrine systems of humans or other species, and it would be
inappropriate to do so. In a separate notice published elsewhere in
today's Federal Register, EPA describes other aspects of EDSP such as
the administrative procedures that EPA will use to require testing.
    The second group of chemicals to be tested consists of chemicals
that section 408(p) of the FFDCA (Ref. 2) requires be screened, i.e.,
pesticide active ingredients and chemicals used as pesticide inert
ingredients (also known as other ingredients) and section 1457 of the
1996 amendment to the SDWA (Ref. 3). EPA developed this final list
using the approach outlined in the Federal Register notice announcing
the draft second list of chemicals and substances (Ref. 1). More
information on EPA's priority setting approach is available at http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/oscpendo/pubs/prioritysetting.
    This document does not describe other aspects of EDSP such as the
administrative procedures EPA generally intends to use to require
testing, the validated tests and battery that will be included in EDSP,
or the timeframe for requiring the testing or receiving the data. The
administrative procedures that EPA generally intends to use are
described in a separate notice published elsewhere in today's Federal
Register. The remaining topics will be addressed in separate notices
that will be subsequently published in the Federal Register.

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

    FFDCA section 408(p) requires EPA to ``develop a screening program,
using appropriate validated test systems and other scientifically
relevant information, to determine whether certain substances may have
an effect in humans that is similar to an effect produced by a
naturally occurring estrogen, or such other endocrine effect as [EPA]
may designate'' (21 U.S.C. 346a(p)). Section 408(p)(3) generally
requires EPA to ``provide for the testing of all pesticide chemicals''
and gives EPA discretionary authority to ``provide for the testing of
any other substance that may have an effect that is cumulative to an
effect of a pesticide chemical if the Administrator determines that a
substantial population may be exposed to such a substance'' (21 U.S.C.
346a(p)(3)). The statute also authorizes EPA to exempt a chemical upon
a determination that ``the substance is anticipated not to produce any
effect in humans similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring
estrogen.'' (21 U.S.C. 346a(p)(4)).
    Section 1457 of SDWA states that ``in addition to the substances''
referred to in FFDCA section 408(p)(3)(B), ``the Administrator may
provide for testing under the screening program authorized by section
408(p) of such Act, in accordance with the provisions of section 408(p)
of such Act, of any other substance that may be found in sources of
drinking water if the Administrator determines that a substantial
population may be exposed to such substance'' (42 U.S.C. 300j-17). EPA
used its authority under SDWA to identify a portion of the chemicals on
the second EDSP list.

III. History

    EPA developed EDSP in response to a Congressional mandate in FFDCA
``to determine whether certain substances may have an effect in humans
that is similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring
estrogen, or such other endocrine effect as [EPA] may designate'' (21
U.S.C. 346a(p)). Unit II.B. describes the authority for listing a
chemical. As part of EDSP, EPA issues orders to collect certain test
data on selected chemical substances. In general, EPA intends to use
the data collected under EDSP, along with other information, to
determine if a pesticide chemical or other substances may pose a risk
to human health or the environment due to disruption of the endocrine
system. The determination that a chemical does or is not likely to have
the potential to interact with the endocrine system will be made on a
weight-of-evidence basis taking into account data from the Tier 1
assays and/or other scientifically relevant information. Chemicals that
go through Tier 1 screening and are found to have the potential to
interact with the estrogen, androgen, or thyroid hormone systems will
proceed to the next state of EDSP where EPA will determine which, if
any, of the Tier 2 tests are necessary based on available data. Tier 2
testing is designed to identify any adverse endocrine-related effects
caused by the substance, and establish a quantitative relationship
between the dose and that endocrine effect. Further information
regarding EDSP and requirements for Tier 1 and Tier 2 testing can be
found on the Agency's EDSP Web site, at http://www.epa.gov/endo/.

IV. Development of the Second EDSP List

    The House Appropriations Committee report for EPA's FY 2010
appropriations (H.R. 2996, H. Rept. 111-180) (Ref. 4), directed EPA to
publish within 1 year of enactment a second list of no less than 100
chemicals for screening that includes drinking water contaminants, such
as halogenated organic chemicals, dioxins, flame retardants
polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polychlorinated biphenyls,
perfluorocarbons (PFCs), plastics, bisphenol A, pharmaceuticals and
personal care products, and issue 25 orders per year for the testing of
these chemicals. This process also should allow for public input. In
response, EPA published a draft second list of chemicals for Tier 1
screening on November 17, 2010 and solicited public comments on the
list of chemicals. The development of the draft second list is
described at length in that Federal Register notice (Ref. 1).
    EPA received comment letters from approximately 60 organizations or
individuals on the November 17, 2010 draft second EDSP list. These
organizations/individuals included a water-related association,
environmental advocacy groups, chemical industry, consumer and pet
advocacy groups, and consultants writing on behalf of the industry.
This notice summarizes major comments EPA received, along with the
Agency's response. A complete listing of public comments and EPA's
responses related to the draft second list of chemicals for Tier 1
screening are included in the document entitled ``Final Comment
Response Document for the Second Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program
List (Categorized Public Comments).'' The document is available in the
docket for this action under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009-0477.

A. SDWA 1457

    Some commenters stated that EPA had not met the requirements of
SDWA 1457 when listing the draft second EDSP list. They stated that a
chemical's inclusion on the third Contaminant Candidate List (CCL3)
does not mean that the chemical meets SDWA 1457 requirements. SDWA 1457
states that ``the Administrator may provide for testing under the
screening program authorized by section 408(p) of such Act, . . . of
any other substance that may be found in sources of drinking water if
the Administrator determines that a substantial population may be
exposed to such substance.'' SDWA section 1457 sets forth the criteria
for

the selection of substances for EDSP. Section 1457 does not require the
Agency to promulgate regulations further defining these criteria.
    For the EDSP, EPA selected contaminants from the CCL3, for which
EPA had evaluated the nature of the occurrence and prevalence
information (Ref. 5), and selected contaminants from National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs), which were designated by Congress
for regulation due to concerns about occurrence in drinking water and
adverse impacts on human health. The scientific basis for EPA's
selection of contaminants on the CCL3 also provides the basis for EPA's
determination that a chemical may be found in sources of drinking water
to which a substantial population may be exposed for the purposes of
SDWA section 1457.

B. Support for Contaminants Listed in the Draft Second List

    The Agency received comments supporting the contaminants included
on the draft second EDSP list. One commenter stated that the draft
second EDSP list was an appropriate starting point since it was
developed from existing NPDWRs and the CCL3. Another commenter
acknowledged that many of the chemicals included on the draft second
EDSP list have already undergone a rigorous review within the Agency
for exposure potential in vulnerable populations and noted there is
incomplete toxicity data for the general population. The commenter
stated that EDSP will contribute important information about endocrine
disrupting potential of chemicals which have never been tested for
sensitive endpoints in estrogen, androgen, and thyroid hormone
disruption.

C. Exclusion or Inclusion of Contaminants

    EPA received comments concerning contaminants that are no longer
manufactured or that have been cancelled (banned), indicating these
should be removed from the list. EPA also received comments related to
chemicals with physiochemical properties that would likely result in
test assay incompatibility issues. EPA agrees that contaminants derived
from chemicals that have been banned or are no longer manufactured
should be removed from the list. EPA has generally determined that it
would be reasonable to prioritize testing for those compounds which a
manufacturer, importer, or registrant is clearly identifiable and the
Agency could order these entities to conduct the testing. Chemicals
that have been banned or are no longer manufactured (or imported) do
not fit within this category. EPA also agrees that it would be
reasonable to exclude chemicals from the second list based on the
highly reactive physiochemical properties of the chemicals and test
assay incompatibility issues. The exclusion rationales for streamlining
the second EDSP list are discussed in the Federal Register notice for
the draft second list (Ref. 1).
    Table 1 of this notice contains a list of chemicals that EPA
believes should be removed from the final second list because they are
no longer manufactured, are banned chemicals, or the chemicals have
physiological properties that make them highly reactive and
incompatible with the testing assays. Other chemicals remain on the
list as they are still in use and may be found in sources of drinking
water (see Unit IV.A. of this notice).
    Other comments EPA received stated those chemicals with a maximum
contaminant level goal of zero should be removed. EPA recognizes that
it may not be possible to set more stringent levels for some of these
chemicals at this time. However, it is important to note that most of
the chemicals with maximum contaminant level goals of zero are based on
chronic health endpoints and compounds with endocrine disrupting
effects that can be subchronic. Also, it would be important to
understand whether a chemical might be an endocrine disruptor with
subchronic impacts since this may inform the Agency's risk assessment
and how best to address this contaminant from a regulatory standpoint.
In addition, if endocrine effects occur at a level lower than the
current maximum contaminant level, the Agency might consider whether
improvements in analytical feasibility, which would allow measurements
at the level of endocrine effects, have been developed since the
promulgation of the existing MCLs.
    EPA also received comments stating that the Agency should have
included some chemicals (e.g., triclosan, alkylphenols and alkylphenol
polyethoxylates, bisphenol A, musk fragrances, and pharmaceutical
estrogens) with known or suspected endocrine disrupting effects on the
second list. When compiling the second EDSP list, EPA focused on
priority drinking water contaminants and pesticides previously
identified by EPA. These priority chemicals included the CCL3
chemicals, chemicals with NPDWRs, and registration review pesticides.
The basis for chemical selection is described in the Federal Register
notice for the draft second list (Ref. 1). While the chemicals
mentioned in the comments were not included on the current EDSP list,
they may be included on future EDSP lists. Several of the chemicals
suggested by commenters were evaluated as part of the CCL3 process but
did not make the final CCL3 for reasons that are outlined in EPA
supporting documents ``Final Contaminant Candidate List 3 Chemicals:
Identifying the Universe, Final Contaminant Candidate List 3 Chemicals:
Screening to a PCCL,'' and ``Final Contaminant Candidate List 3
Chemicals: PCCL to CCL'' (Refs. 6, 7, and 8).
    As for the current approach for selecting chemicals for the second
EDSP list, EPA excluded chemicals that are hormones with confirmed
effects as stated in the Federal Register notice for the draft second
list (Ref. 1). EPA did not give weight to information on the potential
for a chemical to cause endocrine effects as criteria for listing as
the purpose of the second EDSP list is to identify substances that have
the potential to interact with the endocrine system using appropriate
validated test systems and other scientifically relevant information.
The final second EDSP list should neither be construed as a list of
known or likely endocrine disruptors nor characterized as such.
    Some commenters also stated that naturally occurring contaminants
should be excluded from the draft second EDSP list. EPA sought and used
the best available information regarding all substances on the draft
second EDSP list, including those that have the potential to naturally
occur. Although EPA acknowledges that some substances on the list
(e.g., acetaldehyde, acrylamide, methanol, and perchlorate) can occur
naturally in the environment, this is not the only known pathway of
occurrence for these chemicals to enter into the environment. A basis
for chemical selection includes selecting substances that are known or
anticipated to occur in public drinking water. Anthropogenic pathways
for these chemicals to enter the environment are shown through data
from the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), Chemical Update System/
Inventory Update Rule (CUS/IUR), and chemical manufacturing
information. Consequently, EPA does not believe that the fact that
these chemicals can occur naturally is sufficient reason to exclude the
manufacturers and importers of these chemicals from conducting the
necessary testing.

D. Pesticide Registration Review Issues

    EPA received comments stating that pesticide active ingredients
should not be included on EDSP list and suggesting

that issuance of test orders should align with pesticide registration
review schedules.
    The Agency is working toward integrating EDSP and the Registration
Review Program, such that the data gathering may be completed in a
coordinated manner under these two programs to permit a timely
registration review decision inclusive of EDSP and not rely on the
fixed chemical list approach for active ingredients. Ultimately, EPA
intends that chemicals scheduled for registration review may receive
EDSP test orders and the data submitted in response to those orders are
coordinated with the submission of data required under registration
review. The Agency may then review and evaluate the data submitted for
both programs in the same time frame, complete the risk assessment with
EDSP outcomes as appropriate, and likely conclude registration review
for a given chemical within the schedule, enhancing efficiency.
Currently, however, EPA does not have an information collection request
(ICR) clearance to issue orders to require EDSP testing generally for
registration review chemicals. While the ICR clearance process
continues, EPA continues to rely on the chemical list approach for the
fiscal year 2007/2008 registration review chemicals in an attempt to
begin to address EDSP testing for the early registration review
chemicals.

V. The Final Second List of Chemicals and Substances for Tier 1
Screening

A. Chemicals and Substances Removed From the Draft Second List for Tier
1 Screening

    EPA removed 25 chemicals and substances from the draft second list
based on two of the criteria published in the November 17, 2010 issue
of the Federal Register, (Ref. 1):
    1. Chemicals for which the manufacturer, importer or registrant
cannot be clearly identified (criterion two).
    2. Chemicals not likely to be biologically active or which are
incompatible with testing assays for various reasons due to one or more
of their physiochemical properties (criterion five).

EPA reevaluated the draft second list of chemicals and substances based
on public comments and determined that sufficient data exist to remove
a total of 25 additional contaminants based on criterion two (n=21) and
criterion five (n=4). Table 1 presents an alphabetized list of 25
chemicals and substances EPA removed from the original list of 134
proposed for Tier 1 screening and provides the rationale for removal.
    Although these chemicals have been removed from the second group of
chemicals and substances that EPA will screen, it is important to note
that the removal of these chemicals and substances does not imply that
the Agency has no interest in the potential for endocrine disruption
activity for these contaminants. At this time the Agency realizes that
there is some difficulty with collecting the information about
endocrine effects through EDSP because of the Agency's inability to
identify a manufacturer, importer, or registrant or because the
contaminant is incompatible with the testing assays.

Endnotes--Table 1:
 TRI contains information on toxic chemical releases from facilities that meet reporting criteria (for
  most chemicals the thresholds are 25,000 pounds for manufacturing and processing and 10,000 pounds for use).
 IUR contains site and manufacturing information for chemicals manufactured (including imported) in
  amounts of 25,000 pounds or greater at a single site.

B. The Final Second List of Chemical and Substances for EDSP Tier 1
Screening

    Table 2 presents an alphabetized list of the 109 chemicals and
substances included in the final second EDSP list of chemicals for Tier
1 screening. As in the draft second list, the final list includes
pesticides, two PFCs, and three pharmaceuticals (erythromycin,
nitroglycerin, and quinoline). The list also consists of an array of
other chemicals ranging from those used for industrial manufacturing
processes, as plasticizers, or in the production of pharmaceutical,
personal care products, and toxic substances. Because this list of
chemicals was selected on the basis of exposure potential only, it
should neither be construed as a list of known or likely endocrine
disruptors nor characterized as such.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it expands the availability of RNAV in Alaska and improve
the efficient flow of air traffic

within the National Airspace System by lessening the dependency on
ground based navigation.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2021-0856 in the Federal Register (86 FR 58825; October 25, 2021),
establishing United States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-381 in the
vicinity of Big Lake, AK in support of a large and comprehensive T-
route modernization project for the state of Alaska. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
comments on the proposal. There were no comments received.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 2021 and effective
September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The RNAV route listed in this document would be published subsequently
in FAA Order JO 7400.11F.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by establishing RNAV route T-381
in the vicinity of Big Lake, AK in support of a large and comprehensive
T-route modernization project for the state of Alaska.
    The route is described below.
    T-381: This action establishes T-381 extending between the Big
Lake, AK, (BGQ) VHF Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air Navigation
(VORTAC) system and the Fort Yukon, AK, (FYU) VORTAC.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA determined that this airspace action of establishing RNAV
route T-381 in the vicinity of Big Lake, AK qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify
classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see
14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points), and paragraph 5-
6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environmental review
the establishment of new or revised air traffic control procedures
conducted at 3,000 feet or more above ground level (AGL); procedures
conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to be
routinely routed over noise sensitive areas; modifications to currently
approved procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not
significantly increase noise over noise sensitive areas; and increases
in minimum altitudes and landing minima. As such, this action is not
expected to result in any potentially significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded
action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further
analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact study.
