(EPA ICR No. 0664.12, OMB Control No. 2060-0006), to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through August 31, 2018. Public comments
were previously requested via the Federal Register on June 29, 2017
during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given
below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency

information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Bulk
Gasoline Terminals apply to affected facilities at bulk gasoline
terminals that have a throughput greater than 75,700 liters per day,
delivering liquid product into gasoline tank trucks. Affected
facilities include the loading arms, pumps, meters, shutoff valves,
relief valves, and other piping and valves necessary to fill delivery
tan trucks. These standards set initial notification, initial
performance test, and ongoing recordkeeping requirements. Additionally,
required monthly leak detection records are used to determine periods
of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify
operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
part 60, subpart XX.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Bulk gasoline terminals.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart XX).
    Estimated number of respondents: 40 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially.
    Total estimated burden: 13,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,390,000 (per year), which includes $0 both
annualized capital startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. This ICR assumes all
existing affected sources will spend one hour per year to re-
familiarize with the regulations. In addition, this ICR rounds the
total estimated labor hours to three significant digits. These
adjustments resulted in a small increase since the last renewal.

Subject
* Informal version of reconsideration notice (proposal):  8-hour ozone
implementation rule phase 2: CAIR/RACT & 2 NSR issues (SAN 4625.6)

		Hi, Amy,

		My management has okayed sending you an advance informal review version of
the subject notice while the official version is being cleared through the
management chain here at EPA.

		The issues addressed in this reconsideration notice are also issues raised
in petitions for judicial review filed in the Federal Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit; the Court has stayed the litigation on
these 3 issues until December 15, 2006.  In order to effectively brief and
litigate these issues, the reconsideration action should be finalized by
that date. This proposal will offer opportunity for public hearing.  If
requested, we anticipate that it would be held early October 2006, with
the close of comment period early November 2006.  Thus, we believe this
proposal notice should be cleared by OMB in time for signature as soon as
possible, no later than September 1, 2006, to ensure that we will be able
to take final action by December 15, 2006.

		In this notice, we are announcing our decision to reconsider and take
additional comment on three provisions in the Phase 2 Rule:  (1) the
determination that electric generating units (EGUs) that comply with rules
implementing the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and that are located in
States where all required CAIR emissions reductions are achieved from EGUs
meet the 8-hour ozone State implementation plan (SIP) requirement for
application of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for nitrogen
oxide (NOx) emissions; (2) a new source review (NSR) requirement allowing
sources to use certain emission reductions as offsets under certain
circumstances; and (3) an NSR provision addressing when requirements for
the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) and emission offsets may be
waived.  For the first of these issues, we are publishing a supplemental
technical analysis to support the determination concerning CAIR and NOx
RACT for EGUs.

		Please let me know if I can answer any questions.

		Thanks!

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance process to provide the public with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements
in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA-95) (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the
desired format, the reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, the
collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of
the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes
information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for
enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires OSHA to obtain
such information with a minimum burden upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent
feasible unnecessary duplication of effort in obtaining said
information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
    The collection of information requirements specified in the Cadmium
in Construction Standard protect workers from the adverse health
effects that may result from their exposure to cadmium. The major
collection of information requirements of the Standard include:
Conducting worker exposure monitoring, notifying workers of their
cadmium exposures, implementing a written compliance program,
implementing medical surveillance of workers, providing examining
physicians with specific information, ensuring that workers receive a
copy of their medical surveillance results, maintaining workers'
exposure monitoring and medical surveillance records for specific
periods, and providing access to these records by the worker who is the
subject of the records, the worker's representative, and other
designated parties.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply--
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    The Agency is not seeking a burden-hour adjustment and will
summarize any comments submitted in response to this notice and will
include this summary in its request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Cadmium in Construction (29 CFR 1926.1127).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0186.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 10,000.
    Frequency: On occasion; Quarterly; Semi-annually; Annually.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from five minutes (.08 hour) for
an employer to notify a worker with exposure monitoring results to 1.5
hours to administer worker medical examinations.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 258,250.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 33,720.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $2,211,445.

41345 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 133 / Friday, July 11, 2003 / Notices after the effective date of the cancellation. Although in its original voluntary cancellation letter, Bayer requested 18 months to address any remaining stocks, in subsequent communication with the Agency, Bayer accepted a 12   month period for sale and distribution of the existing stocks. 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. In this case, the Agency does not see a need to deviate from these general rules. Unless the Agency receives substantive comments during the comment period that would merit further review of this matter, the Agency intends to permit existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users to be distributed, sold, or used until they are exhausted, provided that such further sale and use comply with the EPAapproved label and labeling of the affected product.

EPA has determined that the petitions contain data or information regarding the elements set forth in section 408( d)( 2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petitions. This summary has been prepared by the Nichino American, Inc., Wilmington, DE 19808, the registrant.

A. Residue Chemistry 1. Plant metabolism. The metabolism of fenpyroximate and z isomer has been studied in cotton, apples, grapes, and citrus and is adequately understood. 2. Analytical method. As a result an enforcement method has been developed which involves extraction of fenpyroximate from crops with acetone, filtration, partitioning and cleanup, and analysis by gas chromatography using a nitrogen/ phosphorous detector. This method allows detection of residues at or above the proposed tolerances. The method has undergone independent laboratory validation as required by PR Notices 88   5 and 96   1. 3. Magnitude of residues   i. Magnitude of residues in crops field residue trials meeting. EPA study requirements have been conducted at the maximum label rate for cotton, grapes, and pome fruit. Results from these trials demonstrate that the highest fenpyroximate and z isomer residues found will not exceed the proposed tolerances when the product is applied following the proposed use directions. ii. Magnitude of the residue in animals   a. Ruminants. Maximum residues of fenpyroximate, z isomer, and acid metabolite in a cattle feeding study demonstrate that the highest fenpyroximate, z isomer, and acid metabolite, combined as fenpyroximate, will not exceed the proposed tolerances in or on milk ( 0.01 ppm); meat ( 0.02 ppm), fat ( 0.8) ppm, kidneys and liver ( 0.5) ppm, and meat byproducts ( 0.01) ppm in cattle, goats, hogs, horses, sheep. b. Poultry. The maximum poultry dietary burden results from a diet composed of cotton meal for a total dietary burden that is significantly lower than the levels that would require the proposal of tolerances in poultry. This conclusion is based on the exaggerated rate field crop studies carried out on fenpyroximate and the zisomer Therefore, an exemption from tolerances in poultry meat, poultry meat by products, fat and eggs under 40 CFR 180.6( a)( 3) and ( b) is proposed as it is not possible to establish with certainty whether finite residues will be incurred, but there is no reasonable expectation of finite residues.

B. Toxicological Profile A full description of the studies describing the toxicity of fenpyroximate can be found in the posting for the import tolerances on hops and wine grapes in the Federal Register of April 10, 2001 ( 66 FR 18561) ( FRL   6773   2). 1. Animal metabolism. The qualitative nature of the residues of fenpyroximate and z isomer and acid metabolite, in animals is adequately understood. Fenpyroximate was not metabolized to volatiles to any significant degree. The majority of either benzyl or pyrazole labels ( approximately 70% to 92%) is excreted in the feces. Urinary excretion accounts for less ( approximately 9% to 18%) of the label. Thus, feces and urine are the major routes of excretion for fenpyroximate. Tissue did not accumulate fenpyroximate or its metabolites to any great extent. The greatest levels of label were in liver, kidneys, adrenals, and fat ( to a lesser degree). In blood, nearly all the label is in the plasma. 2. Endocrine disruption. Chronic, lifespan, and multigenerational bioassays in mammals and acute and subchronic studies on aquatic organisms and wildlife did not reveal any endocrine effects for fenpyroximate. Any endocrine related effects would have been detected in this VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 15: 20 Jul 10, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 11JYN1. SGM 11JYN1 41348 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 133 / Friday, July 11, 2003 / Notices comprehensive series of required tests. The probability of any such effect due to agricultural uses of fenpyroximate is negligible.

C. Aggregate Exposure 1. Dietary exposure. The potential dietary exposure to fenpyroximate has been calculated from the proposed tolerances for use on cotton, grapes, and pome fruit. These very conservative chronic dietary exposure estimates used the tolerance value for all the raw agricultural commodities. In addition, these estimates assume that 100% of the crops contain fenpyroximate residues. i. Food. Chronic dietary exposure to fenpyroximate was estimated on the basis of 100% crop treatment for cotton, grapes, and pome fruit and assuming tolerance level residues on these crops. These estimated exposures were compared to the chronic dietary RfD for fenpyroximate, which has already been established by EPA at 0.010 milligrams/ kilogram/ day ( mg/ kg/ day), in connection with the import tolerance on wine grapes and hops. ii. Drinking water. Laboratory and field data have demonstrated that fenpyroximate is immobile in soil and will not leach into ground water. Other data show that fenpyroximate is virtually insoluble in water. As a result, NAI concludes that residues reaching surface waters from field runoff will quickly adsorb to sediment particles and be partitioned from the water column. Further, a screening evaluation of leaching potential for other miticides was conducted using EPA's Pesticide Root Zone Model ( PRZM) and Screening Concentration in Ground Water ( SCIGROW Based on this screening assessment, the potential concentrations of fenpyroximate and z isomer in water at depths of 1 and 2 meters are essentially zero (< 1 part per trillion ( ppt)). Surface water concentrations using PRZM and EXAMS were predicted in the simulated pond of 0.0242 part per billion ( ppb). 2. Non dietary exposure. There are no registered or proposed residential uses of fenpyroximate. Thus, a residential exposure assessment is not required. Exposure to fenpyroximate for the mixer/ loader/ ground boom applicator was calculated using the Pesticides Handlers Exposure Data base ( PHED). These PHED assessments were based on a 70 kg operator treating < 50 acres per day using ground boom equipment on both apples and grapes and 80 acres per day on cotton by ground application with an operator treating at a maximum use rate of 0.1 lb active ingredient per acre. All mixer/ loaders and workers/ operators were assumed to be wearing gloves, long pants and long sleeved shirts.

D. Cumulative Effects In consideration of potential cumulative effects of fenpyroximate and other substances that may have a common mechanism of toxicity, to our knowledge there are no currently available data or other reliable information indicating that any toxic effects produced by fenpyroximate would be cumulative with those of other chemical compounds; thus only the potential risks of fenpyroximate have been considered in this assessment of its aggregate exposure.

E. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population   i. Acute. Using the 100% crop treatment scenario the acute population adjusted dose ( aPAD) for the general population is 0.002309 mg/ kg/ day. Of the standard subgroups which are analyzed by the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEM), the subgroup with the highest exposures is infants (< 1 year) with an acute dietary exposure estimated at 0.006368 mg/ kg/ day ( 12.74% of the acute reference aRfD). For children in the age brackets 1   6 years and 7   12 years, the dietary exposures are approximately 0.004716 mg/ kg/ day ( 9.43% of the aRfD) and 0.002581 mg/ kg/ day ( 5.16% of the aRfD), respectively. Males and females aged 13 and older have an estimated acute dietary exposure of 0.001054 and 0.000911 mg/ kg/ day, respectively ( 2.11% and 1.82% of the aRfD, respectively). Even applying the Food Quality Protection Act ( FQPA) factor of 10X to females aged 13 and older the percent aRfD utilization is only a modest 11.82%. All values for percentage utilization of the aRfD are well below 100% and no value exceeds 12.74%. ii. Chronic. Of the standard subgroups which are analyzed by the DEEM, and using the conservative estimates, of 100% crop treatment scenario, the chronic population adjusted dose ( cPAD) for the general population, is approximately 0.0002579 mg/ kg/ day ( which is 2.58% of the RfD). This value is based on the no observed adverse effect level ( NOAEL) of 0.97 mg/ kg/ day observed in the chronic rat feeding study, the worse case estimate of chronic dietary exposure of fenpyroximate from cotton, grape, and pome fruit and a safety ( uncertainty) factor of 100. 2. Non dietary exposure   i. Acute. The margins of exposure relative to the acute dietary endpoint ( 5 mg/ kg/ day) are all in excess of 1,000. Therefore, there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will occur from acute exposure to crops treated at the maximum labeled use rates and minimum preharvest intervals for fenpyroximate. Worker exposure ( mixer/ loader and applicator) estimates provide for margins of safety of > 100 in all scenarios. Worker exposure is therefore expected, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, to be without harm. Based on the above, exposures of the U. S. population to fenpyroximate associated with the uses addressed in this reduced risk submission are expected, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, to be without harm. ii. Chronic. The margins of exposure relative to the chronic dietary endpoint are all in excess of 1,700. Therefore, there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will occur from chronic exposure to crops treated at the maximum labeled use rates and minimum preharvest intervals for fenpyroximate. 3. Infants and children   i. Acute. Using the 100% crop treatment scenario, the subgroup with the highest exposures is infants (< 1 year) with an acute dietary exposure estimated at 0.006368 mg/ kg/ day ( 12.74% of the aRfD). For children in the age brackets 1   6 years and 7   12 years, the acute dietary exposures are approximately 0.004716 mg/ kg/ day ( 9.43% of the aRfD) and 0.002581 mg/ kg/ day ( 5.16% of the aRfD), respectively. Acute dietary exposure of infants and children is therefore expected, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, to be without harm. Based on the above, exposures of infants and children to fenpyroximate associated with the uses addressed in this reduced risk submission are expected, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, to be without harm. ii. Chronic. Using the 100% crop treatment scenario, infants ( less than 1 year) have the highest chronic exposure ( 0.0009228 mg/ kg/ day, which is 9.23 % of the RfD). For children in the age brackets 1   6 years and 7   12 years, the dietary exposures are approximately 0.0005244 mg/ kg/ day ( 5.24% of the RfD) and 0.0002733 mg/ kg/ day ( 2.73% of the RfD), respectively. Chronic dietary exposure of the infants and children is therefore expected, to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, to be without harm. iii. Conclusion. There is a complete toxicity data base for fenpyroximate and exposure data are conservatively estimated based on data that reasonably account for potential exposures. Based on these risk assessments, Nichino America, Inc. concludes that, there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 15: 20 Jul 10, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 11JYN1.
