AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from March 24, 2008 through April 11, 2008, consists of the PMNs
pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a
new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.

DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before June 6, 2008.

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the premanufacture notices
addressed in the action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, 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
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. Why is EPA Taking this Action?

[Docket No. OR16-17-000]

Tricon Energy Ltd. and Rockbriar Partners Inc. v. Colonial
Pipeline Company; Notice of Complaint

    Take notice that on May 9, 2016, Tricon Energy Ltd. (Tricon) and
Rockbriar Partners Inc. (Rockbriar) (collectively, Complainants) filed
a protest, complaint, and motion to intervene in response to Colonial
Pipeline Company's (Colonial or Respondent) tariff filing in Docket No.
IS16-259-000. The motion to intervene and protest portion of Tricon's
and Rockbriar's pleading was placed in the IS16-259-000 docket. The
complaint portion of Tricon's and Rockbriar's pleading is being
separately docketed in the proceeding captioned above.
    Tricon and Rockbriar assert that Colonial is attempting to enforce
a shipper history transfer policy that is not in the tariff that locks
out New

Shippers from obtaining capacity on Colonial in violation of Colonial's
statutory common carrier duty set forth in section 1(4) of the
Interstate Commerce Act (ICA). Tricon and Rockbriar assert that
Colonial's practice violates the ICA's tariff publication requirement
in section 6(1), as well as the Commission's regulations at 18 CFR
341.0(b)(1), 341.3(b)(6), and 341.8. Tricon and Rockbriar assert that
Colonial's New Shipper lockout policy is a facet of its prorationing
policy, and a restriction on service, that has not been reviewed and
approved by the Commission to be part of Colonial's Tariff.
    The Complainants certifies that copies of the complaint were served
on the Respondents.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). Protests will be
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. The Respondent's
answer and all interventions, or protests must be filed on or before
the comment date. The Respondent's answer, motions to intervene, and
protests must be served on the Complainants.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an
original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC

 BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


A meeting took place at EPA offices on May 8, 2008 between EPA staff and
members of the Policy Navigation Group and Duttko Worldwide relating to
potential regulation of perchlorate at the end of 2008.

Present at the meeting from EPA was:

Pam Barr, Phil Oshida, Ann Johnson, Eric Burneson and Clifton Townsend

Present from PNG was:

Jonathan Whitehill and James Rollins

Present from Duttko Worlwide was:

Max Hamel

On May 8, 2008 PNG and Duttko representatives met with EPA to determine
what the status was of the Perchlorate Preliminary FRN and to further
discuss their comments (sent via the Perchlorate Study Group) on
perchlorate in the May 1, 2007 Regulatory Determination 2 Preliminary
FRN.

PNG wanted to know if EPA was still considering using the
Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling that was discuss
in an earlier meeting on August 16, 2007. Also, did EPA come up with a
Health Advisory (HA) for perchlorate. They reiterated that PBPK modeling
has shown perchlorate is not stored in the body and its behavior is
predictable and National Academy of Science (NAS) was aware of this.
They continue to acknowledge that neonate and fetus are true sensitive
subpopulations affected by exposure to perchlorate. However, they
believe that children are the least sensitive sub-population exposed to
perchlorate.  PBPK modeling data showed children were less affected by
perchlorate and had only a 0.3% inhibition of iodine uptake.

EPA stated that PBPK modeling was still an option for use in the
determination of perchlorate and acknowledged that HA’s are needed but
not mandatory. The Administrator can do a HA on any contaminant and that
there was not a rigid timeframe to adhere to. PNG stated that most
groups wanted to see a national standard MCL or at least a HA. If a MCL
is warranted, groups would be accepting however, a HA is
“preferred”.

The discussion then turn to Renal Clearance and/or the homeostasis of
iodine to perchlorate uptake. PNG cited Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) studies that looked at iodine data from infants 0-60 days old. It
was found that these infants were not significantly affected by
perchlorate. The”perfect” example of homeostasis shows that breast
milk that contain high iodine one would find high perchlorate. The
uptake of iodine and perchlorate essentially counteracts any negative
effects of perchlorate due to homeostasis.

PNG again cited perchlorate exposure to children at 220 ppb having only
a 0.3% inhibition of iodine uptake. They followed this by stating that
FDA studies did not show a substance population with iodine deficiency
in regards to perchlorate exposure in food. PNG then cited a 2005
article by A. Kirk entitled “Perchlorate and iodide in dairy and
breast milk” and stated in the study the amount of perchlorate in
breast milk was inaccurate. When the correct value (amount of
perchlorate in breast milk) is used, it clearly shows the ratio of
perchlorate vs. iodine to be 1 to 1.

To conclude the meeting, EPA asked PNG if they had any studies and/or
textbooks on renal clearance and/or homeostasis to back up there claims.
EPA also stated that the use of PBPK modeling was still an option for
use in determining perchlorate and would be considered. EPA did however
mention that the Perchlorate Preliminary FRN would still come out before
the end of the 2008 calendar year as stated by the AA.

PNG responded by stating that there were some studies available in
regards to renal clearance and that they would be happy to get EPA those
studies/books. Also, PNG and Duttko Worlwide felt that a National
Standard could be achieved based on the current info cited in meeting or
at best a MCL. However, they also asked could EPA have a “Real
Impact” with a MCL? PNG continued to keep their position from the last
meeting in August 2007 that it is not worth EPA to regulate and/or
create a MCL for perchlorate. It would be a waste of resources to write
a rule on/or regulate perchlorate with few at risk from exposure from
it. PNG again urged EPA to make their decision swiftly, and offered to
help in any way they could.

    k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready
for environmental analysis.
    l. Project Description: The existing Wallowa Falls Hydroelectric
Project consists of the following existing facilities: (1) A 2-foot-
high, 9-foot-long concrete diversion dam with a 1-foot-wide spillway on
Royal Purple Creek; (2) a 240-foot-long, 8-inch-diameter wood-stave and
polyvinylchloride pipeline conveying water from the Royal Purple Creek
diversion dam to an impoundment; (3) an 18-foot-high, 125-foot-long,
buttressed rock-filled timber crib dam with impervious gravel and
asphalt core and a 30-foot-wide spillway on the East Fork Wallowa River
(East Fork); (4) a 0.2-acre impoundment; (5) a 2-foot-high by 2-foot-
wide concrete intake structure with a headgate and steel trash rack;
(6) a low-level sluiceway with a steel trash rack and cast iron gate
connecting to a 2-foot-diameter steel pipe passing through the

dam to provide instream flow releases to the bypassed reach; (7) a
5,688-foot-long steel penstock varying in diameter from 24 to 16 inches
and consisting of buried sections or above-ground sections supported on
timber crib trestles; (8) a powerhouse containing one impulse turbine-
generator unit with an installed capacity of 1,100 kilowatts; (9) a 40-
foot-long concrete-lined tailrace which conveys powerhouse flows to a
1,000-foot-long unlined and braided tailrace channel discharging into
the West Fork Wallowa River (West Fork); (10) a 20-foot-long, 7.2-
kilovolt transmission line which connects to the Wallowa Falls
substation; and (11) appurtenant facilities.
    The project currently generates an average of 7 million kilowatt-
hours annually. The dams and existing project facilities are owned by
PacifiCorp. The project is operated run-of-river. Up to 1 cubic feet
per second (cfs) of flow is diverted from Royal Purple Creek and
discharged into the impoundment. Up to 16 cfs of water (i.e., 15 cfs
maximum from East Fork and 1 cfs from Royal Purple Creek) is diverted
through the intake structure at the East Fork dam into the steel
penstock and conveyed to the powerhouse where it flows through the
single impulse turbine and discharges through the tailrace into the
West Fork. The project's current license requires a minimum instream
flow release of 0.5 cfs or inflow, whichever is less, in the bypassed
reach. The current license also mandates that PacifiCorp restrict
sediment flushing from the impoundment to the period from May 1 to
August 30 to protect kokanee salmon.
    PacifiCorp proposes to modify the existing facilities by: (1)
Extending the existing 8-inch Royal Purple Creek diversion pipe
approximately 20 feet to discharge directly into the East Fork upstream
of the project impoundment to reduce erosion, (2) realigning the
existing tailrace channel and constructing a permanent fish passage
barrier and concrete outfall at its confluence with the West Fork to
prevent fish from entering the tailrace channel, (3) improving existing
and constructing new recreational facilities to enhance recreation in
the project area, and (4) installing and operating flow monitoring
equipment at the historic U.S. Geological Survey gage in the East Fork
bypassed reach to monitor compliance with minimum flows. PacifiCorp
also proposes to: Increase the minimum flow release in the bypassed
reach to 4 cfs from November through April and 5 cfs from May through
October, and modify the sediment management program to only enable
sediment flushing during the high-flow month of June.
    PacifiCorp proposes to modify the project boundary by adding about
8.4 acres to encompass a total of 26.4 acres of land necessary for
project purposes and for operation and maintenance.

area. T-routes are low altitude Air Traffic Service routes, based on
RNAV, for use by aircraft that have instrument flight rules (IFR)
approved Global Positioning System (GPS)/Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS) equipment. This action would enhance safety and improve
the efficient use of the navigable airspace in the Houston, TX,
terminal area.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 18, 2008.

procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish a low altitude RNAV route in
the Houston, TX, terminal area. The route, designated as T-254, would
be depicted on the appropriate IFR En Route Low Altitude charts. This
T-route is only intended for use by GPS/GNSS equipped aircraft and is
being proposed to enhance safety and to facilitate the more flexible
and efficient use of the navigable airspace for en route IFR operations
transitioning through and around the Houston Class B airspace area.
    Low altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.9R signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The low altitude
RNAV routes listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
    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.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (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
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.
    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 establishes a low altitude Area Navigation route (T-route) at
Houston, Texas.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a, 311b, and 311k. This airspace action is
not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental
impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment.

[FMCSA Docket No. FMCSA-2013-0012]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Diabetes
Mellitus

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

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt 20 individuals from its
rule prohibiting persons with insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (ITDM)
from operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce.
The exemptions will enable these individuals to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce.

DATES: The exemptions are effective May 6, 2013. The exemptions expire
on May 5, 2015.

Docket Management System (FDMS) published in the Federal Register on

Background

    On March 18, 2013, FMCSA published a notice of receipt of Federal
diabetes exemption applications from 20 individuals and requested
comments from the public (78 FR 16758). The public comment period
closed on April 17, 2013, and one comment was received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of the 20 applicants and
determined that granting the exemptions to these individuals would
achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that
would be achieved by complying with the current regulation 49 CFR
391.41(b)(3).

Diabetes Mellitus and Driving Experience of the Applicants

    The Agency established the current requirement for diabetes in 1970
because several risk studies indicated that drivers with diabetes had a
higher rate of crash involvement than the general population. The
diabetes rule provides that ``A person is physically qualified to drive
a commercial motor vehicle if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control'' (49 CFR 391.41(b)(3)).
    FMCSA established its diabetes exemption program, based on the
Agency's July 2000 study entitled ``A Report to Congress on the
Feasibility of a Program to Qualify Individuals with Insulin-Treated
Diabetes Mellitus to Operate in Interstate Commerce as Directed by the
Transportation Act for the 21st Century.'' The report concluded that a
safe and practicable protocol to allow some drivers with ITDM to
operate CMVs is feasible. The September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441), Federal
Register notice in conjunction with the November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777),
Federal Register notice provides the current protocol for allowing such
drivers to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
    These 20 applicants have had ITDM over a range of 1 to 22 years.
These applicants report no severe hypoglycemic reactions resulting in
loss of consciousness or seizure, requiring the assistance of another
person, or resulting in impaired cognitive function that occurred
without warning symptoms, in the past 12 months and no recurrent (2 or
more) severe hypoglycemic episodes in the past 5 years. In each case,
an endocrinologist verified that the driver has demonstrated a
willingness to properly

monitor and manage his/her diabetes mellitus, received education
related to diabetes management, and is on a stable insulin regimen.
These drivers report no other disqualifying conditions, including
diabetes-related complications. Each meets the vision requirement at 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10).
    The qualifications and medical condition of each applicant were
stated and discussed in detail in the March 18, 2013, Federal Register
notice and they will not be repeated in this notice.

Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received one comment in this proceeding. The comment is
considered and discussed below.
    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is in favor of
granting an exemption to Robert J. Weyant after reviewing his driving
history.

Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the diabetes requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) if the exemption
is likely to achieve an equivalent or greater level of safety than
would be achieved without the exemption. The exemption allows the
applicants to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
    To evaluate the effect of these exemptions on safety, FMCSA
considered medical reports about the applicants' ITDM and vision, and
reviewed the treating endocrinologists' medical opinion related to the
ability of the driver to safely operate a CMV while using insulin.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that in each case exempting these
applicants from the diabetes requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) is
likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

Conditions and Requirements

    The terms and conditions of the exemption will be provided to the
applicants in the exemption document and they include the following:
(1) That each individual submit a quarterly monitoring checklist
completed by the treating endocrinologist as well as an annual
checklist with a comprehensive medical evaluation; (2) that each
individual reports within 2 business days of occurrence, all episodes
of severe hypoglycemia, significant complications, or inability to
manage diabetes; also, any involvement in an accident or any other
adverse event in a CMV or personal vehicle, whether or not it is
related to an episode of hypoglycemia; (3) that each individual provide
a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the medical
examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (4) that
each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification to
the employer for retention in the driver's qualification file, or keep
a copy in his/her driver's qualification file if he/she is self-
employed. The driver must also have a copy of the certification when
driving, for presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official.

Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 20 exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts Mick E. Brand (WA), Victor L. Daniels, Sr. (DE), Kenneth T.
Faborito (HI), Colleen M. Herron (CA), Vincent K. Johnson (DC), Mark R.
Kolling (MN), Kevin P. Lee (MN), Jason J. Libkie (CA), William R.
Luckenbach (OK), Duane W. Mansur (NH), Fritz R. McBride (WI), Arthur H.
Olsen (AZ), Jacob D. Parnaby (OH), Billy L. Suffel (OH), Samuel A.
Tuzenew (NC), Ronnie L. West (MO), Robert J. Weyant (PA), Douglas G.
Willson (OK), Brandon P. Wilson (NC), and Peter S. Zipperer (LA) from
the ITDM requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3), subject to the conditions
listed under ``Conditions and Requirements'' above.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 each exemption will
be valid for two years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA. The exemption
will be revoked if the following occurs: (1) The person fails to comply
with the terms and conditions of the 1/exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was
granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315. If the
exemption is still effective at the end of the 2-year period, the
person may apply to FMCSA for a renewal under procedures in effect at
that time.
