<Sensible Life Products>

<[Insert petition number]>

	EPA has received a pesticide petition ([insert petition number]) from
<Sensible Life Products (Div. of LBD, Ltd.)>, 34-7 Innovation Drive,
Ontario, Canada L9H7H9, proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to
amend 40 CFR part 180 to establish an exemption from the requirement of
tolerance for residues of thymol (as present in thyme oil) in or on food
when the pesticide is used as a hard surface disinfectant.

	Pursuant to section 408(d)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA, as amended, Sensible Life
Products has submitted the following summary of information, data, and
arguments in support of their pesticide petition.  This summary was
prepared by Sensible Life Products and EPA has not fully evaluated the
merits of the pesticide petition.  The summary may have been edited by
EPA if the terminology used was unclear, the summary contained
extraneous material, or the summary unintentionally made the reader
conclude that the findings reflected EPA's position and not the position
of the petitioner.

<A. Residue Chemistry>

<	1. Plant metabolism.   NA-REMOVE>

<	2. Analytical method. Since this petition is for an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance, an analytical method is not required.  >

<	3. Magnitude of residues. Thymol residues on food that may contact
hard surfaces treated with thymol-based disinfectant have not been
quantitatively determined, but are anticipated to be low.  The
Incidental Dietary Residential Exposure Assessment Model (IDREAM)
developed by the American Chemistry Counsel’s Biocide’s Panel in
cooperation with EPA was used to estimate exposure potential.

IDREAM can be used to predict the worst-case estimate of thymol that may
be transferred from the treated surface to food, exposure based on
typical amounts of food that come into contact with surfaces treated
with disinfectants, and potential exposures from food consumption
patterns of different population groups.  Using this model, it is
estimated that the worst-case amount of thymol that may be transferred
from a treated food contact surface to food is 4.6 mg assuming there is
not a potable water rinse (contrary to label instructions) and total
(100%) transfer of any thymol residue from the treated surface to the
food.

Continuing to use these same conservative assumptions (no rinse and 100%
transfer of any residues), acute and chronic dietary exposure estimates
for population subgroups were calculated using IDREAM.  In both cases
(acute and chronic exposure scenarios), the population subgroup
“Children 1-2 yrs” had the highest potential exposure.  Based on the
low oral toxicity of thymol, it is assumed that the FQPA safety factor
would be set to 1.0, thus only the uncertainty factor of 100x (10x each
for intra- and interspecies variability) would likely be applied to a
repeated dose animal study NOAEL to derive reference dose levels (RfDs).
 For chronic dietary exposure, such a repeated dose study NOAEL would
have to be less than 0.872 mg/kg/day in order for the exposure estimate
to exceed 100% of the chronic RfD.  Similarly, the acute NOAEL would
have to be lower than 1.4 mg/kg/day for acute exposure to exceed 100% of
the acute RfD.

No chronic oral toxicity studies have been conducted by the registrant,
however, according to EPA’s review of the public literature, no
harmful effects were observed for rats dosed with thymol for 19 weeks at
667 mg/kg/day.  Further, the acute oral LD50 in the rat and guinea pig
is 980 mg/kg and 880 mg/kg, respectively.   It is apparent that the oral
toxicity observed for thymol is low and the worst-case exposure levels
from use of thymol in a disinfectant to treat food contact surfaces is
negligible in comparison and presents no basis for concern.

>

<B. Toxicological Profile>

<	1. Acute toxicity. Thymol toxicity data reported in the open
literature cite acute oral> LD50 values of 980 milligrams/kilogram
(mg/kg) and 880 mg/kg for the rat and guinea pig, respectively (Sax,
1984).  These acute oral toxicity values correspond to Toxicity Category
III.  The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of technical grade thyme oil
cites human health effects as irritating when exposed by inhalation,
dermal, or eye contact and estimates a human ingestion LD50 at 2 g of
the synthetic thymol.  Based upon an estimated thymol dermal toxicity
LD50 of greater than 2,000 mg/kg, the dermal toxicity would be Toxicity
Category III.

Thymol is corrosive to the rabbit eye and skin and is reported to not be
a dermal sensitizer based on guinea pig data.  Thymol is readily
absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is essentially excreted in
the urine as a glucuronate and sulfate conjugate of the parent compound.
 Based on this literature, all acute toxicity data requirements have
been found acceptable.

<	2. Genotoxicty. According to EPA reviews of the open literature,
thymol is not mutagenic in Salmonella, but gives statistically
significant positive results in an Unscheduled DNA synthesis, a Sister
Chromatid Exchange test, and a cell transformation test with Syrian
hamster embryonic cells.  Multiple malformations were noted when thymol
is injected into the air bubble or yolk sac of embryonic chickens.
Dosing of rats with thymol in the feed at 667 mg/kg body weight/day
highest dose tested) for 19 weeks did not produce any harmful effects.
Based on review of data available in the open literature, EPA has
consistently concluded that there is no basis for concern.

>

<<	3. Reproductive and developmental toxicity.   Thymol is a normal
constituent of the human diet and a component of many non-pesticidal
consumer products currently marketed in the United States.  Further, it
is generally recognized as safe by the FDA (21 CFR § 182.20) and listed
as a food additive by the FDA (21 CFR § 175.515; synthetic flavoring
substances and adjuvants).  Based on review of this information and data
available in the open literature, EPA has consistently concluded that
there is no basis for concern.>

	4. Subchronic toxicity.   According to EPA’s reviews of the public
literature, no harmful effects were observed in rats dosed with Thymol
in the feed for 19 weeks at 667 mg/kg body weight/day.  In A/He mice,
Thymol did not increase the incidence of spontaneous lung tumors with
repeated intra peritoneal injection for 24 weeks at a dose of 6000 mg/kg
body weight.   Based on review of data available in the open literature,
EPA has consistently concluded that there is no basis for concern.

>

<	5. Chronic toxicity.  Thymol is a normal constituent of the human diet
and a component of many non-pesticidal consumer products currently
marketed in the United States, and is generally recognized as safe by
the FDA (21 CFR § 182.20) and is listed as a food additive by the FDA
(21 CFR § 175.515; synthetic flavoring substances and adjuvants).
Based on review of this information and data available in the open
literature, EPA has consistently concluded that there is no basis for
concern.>

<	6. Animal metabolism.  Thymol is a normal constituent of the human
diet and a component of many non-pesticidal consumer products currently
marketed in the United States, and is generally recognized as safe by
the FDA (21 CFR § 182.20) and is listed as a food additive by the FDA
(21 CFR § 175.515; synthetic flavoring substances and adjuvants).
Based on review of this information, EPA has consistently concluded that
there is no basis for concern.>

<	7. Metabolite toxicology. NA-REMOVE>

<	8. Endocrine disruption. According to EPA’s reviews of the public
literature, no effects were seen in the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes,
white cell counts, red cell counts, hemoglobin counts, or hematocrits
following the dosing of rats with 1,000 or 10, 000 mg/kg of food grade
Thymol for 19 weeks.  EPA has consistently concluded that the findings
of this literature search do not provide evidence to suggest that Thymol
affects the immune system, functions in a manner similar to any know
hormone, or that it acts as an endocrine disruptor.  Further, thymol
does not belong to a class of chemicals known or suspected of having
adverse effects on the endocrine system.  Therefore, there is no
evidence that thymol has any effect on the endocrine function.

>

<C. Aggregate Exposure>

<	1. Dietary exposure. >

<	i. Food.  Thymol is a component of many non-pesticidal consumer
products currently marketed in the United States.  It is listed as a
food additive by the Food and Drug Administration (21 CFR 172.515;
synthetic flavoring substances and adjuvants) and is considered
Generally Recognized As Safe or GRAS (21 CFR 172.515, 182.10, and
182.20).  Based on the public literature, there is no basis for concern.
>

<	ii. Drinking water.   No drinking water exposure is expected from the
pesticidal use of thymol, which is confined to its use as a disinfectant
on hard non-porous surfaces.    Thymol has been approved for food use by
FDA as a direct food additive and has shown relatively low toxicity.
Even if exposure through drinking water were to occur, the exposure
would be far less than the exposure from consumption of thymol thru the
diet.  Therefore, no risk is anticipated.  Based on this information,
there is no basis for concern.

>

<	2. Non-dietary exposure. The potential for non-dietary exposure to
thymol residues for the general population, including infants and
children, is limited because of the low concentrations of thymol used in
hard surface disinfectants and removal of most resultant residues by
potable water rinsing following use.  Thymol is a normal constituent of
the human diet as a component of thyme and thyme oil, which are commonly
used as direct food additives.  While there exists a great likelihood of
prior exposure for most, if not all, individuals to thymol and thyme
oil, any increased exposure due to its use as a hard surface
disinfectant would be negligible.  Thyme, which contains thymol, is a
pesticide active ingredient for the control of aphids on ornamental
plants.  Thyme and thyme oil are considered minimum risk pesticides, and
are exempted as active ingredients under FIFRA 40 CFR 152.25(f).  Based
on this information, there is no basis for concern.

>

<D. Cumulative Effects>

<	Thymol does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other
substances.  Compared to other currently registered active ingredients,
thymol has a novel mode of cellular action, and no indication of toxic
effects of thymol would be cumulative.  Data to determine whether thymol
has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances is not
available at this point, and therefore EPA has not assumed that thymol
has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances.  Based on this
information and use pattern, there is no basis for concern.

>

<E. Safety Determination>

<	1. U.S. population. The IDREAM Tier 1 (worst case) assessment with the
highest concentration of thymol (as present in thyme oil) being 0.23%
estimates that a maximum of 4.6 mg of thymol could potentially be
transferred into food that has come into contact with the treated
surfaces.  The maximum value of incidental dietary ingestion for a small
child (15 kg b.w.) would be 0.31 mg/kg b.w./day of thymol.  However,
this estimate is high (overly conservative) because the calculation does
not take into account reduction of potential residues by the performance
of the potable water rinse step as directed by the product label for
treatment of food contact surfaces.

Exposure calculations in a Tier 2 assessment of the IDREAM demonstrated
that residues of thymol are not expected to be present on food contact
surfaces at levels of concern for any population group, even without
consideration of further reduction of residues by a potable water rinse.
 The Tier 2 assessment uses a default level (1 mg/cm²) of product
residue taken directly from the FDA Guidelines for Sanitizing Solutions,
which is generally considered to be a worst-case estimate to address
possible uses of sanitizing solutions in all food contact uses.  The
acute and chronic exposure values in a Tier 2 assessment are the
estimated likelihood of exposure to selected U.S. subpopulations (i.e.,
children – 1 to 2 years of age; children – 3 to 5 years of age;
adults – 13+ years of age; and females – 13 to 49 years of age)
based on calculations from published study data and from compiled
datasets obtained from USDA’s Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by
Individuals (1994-1998) and the National Health and Examination Survey.
The highest estimated potential dietary exposures to
disinfectant-related residues of thymol were in the 1 to 2 year old
children subpopulation subgroup – 0.009 mg/kg/day for chronic exposure
and 0.014 mg/kg/day for acute exposure.  These estimates are considered
high as they do not account for the reduction in potential residues from
the required potable water rinse step.   Based on these potential
dietary exposure estimates, the use of thymol hard surface disinfectants
on hard surface food contact surfaces is not likely to result in
residues levels of any toxicological significance and there is no basis
for concern.  >

<	2. Infants and children. According to the information/data submitted
and other information available to the Agency, there is reasonable
certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to residues
of thymol to the U.S. population, including infants and children, under
reasonable circumstances, when hard surface disinfectants containing
thymol are used in accordance with the product label directions.

As summarized above, potential incidental dietary exposure to thymol
used in hard surface disinfectants was estimated using Tier 1 and Tier 2
IDREAM assessments.  Even though these calculations do not take into
account reduction of potential residues by the potable water rinse step
as directed by the product label for treatment of food contact surfaces,
these assessments provided confirmation that potential thymol residues
on food contact surfaces are well below any level of concern.

In addition, there is a long history of the use and presence of thyme,
thyme oil, and thymol in the diet with no known adverse effects.  Based
on worst case exposure calculations, the low toxicity potential of
thymol, and its historical presence in food with no known adverse
effects, it is reasonable to conclude that no harm will result from
exposure to thymol on a hard surface treated with a disinfectant.

>

<F. International Tolerances>

<	According to the World Health Organization, thymol residues in food
are safe to consumers at up to 50 mg/kg.  Under the European Union
regulation Nr. 2377/90, thymol is in group II of the non-toxic
veterinary drugs which do not require a MRL.

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0011]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zones; Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending and updating its safety zones
regulations that take place in the Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley area.
This informs the public of regularly scheduled events that require
additional safety measures through the establishing of a safety zone.
Through this rulemaking the current list of recurring safety zones is
updated with revisions, additional events, and removal of events that
no longer take place in Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. When these safety
zones are enforced, certain restrictions are placed on marine traffic
in specified areas.

DATES: This rule is effective June 6, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Captain of the Port Ohio Valley (COTP) is establishing,
amending, and updating 33 CFR 165.801 to update our regulations for
annual fireworks displays and other events in the Eighth Coast Guard
District requiring safety zones with respect to those in Sector Ohio
Valley. These events include air shows, fireworks displays, and other
marine related events requiring a limited access area restricting
vessel traffic for safety purposes.
    On March 30, 2017, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) entitled, ``Sector Ohio Valley Annual and Recurring
Safety Zones Update'' (82 FR 15666). There we stated why we issued the
NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to
those recurring safety zones. The public comment period ended on May 1,
2017. During the comment period, we did not receive any comments.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. It would be
impracticable to provide a full 30-days notice because this rule must
be effective June 03, 2017.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard's authority for establishing a safety zone is
contained at 33 U.S.C. 1231. The Coast Guard is amending and updating
the safety zones under 33 CFR part 165 to include the most up to date
list of recurring safety zones for events held on or around navigable
waters within the Sector Ohio Valley AOR. These events include
fireworks displays, air shows, and others. The current list in 33 CFR
165.801 requires amending to provide new information on existing safety
zones, include new safety zones expected to recur annually or
biannually, and to remove safety zones that are no longer required.
Issuing individual regulations for each new safety zone, amendment, or
removal of an existing safety zone creates unnecessary administrative
costs and burdens. This rulemaking reduces administrative overhead and
provides the public with notice through publication in the Federal
Register of the upcoming recurring safety zones.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published on
March 30, 2017. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this
rule from the proposed rule on the NPRM.
    This rule amends and updates part 165 or 33 CFR by revising the
current table for Sector Ohio Valley, and by adding 5 new recurring
safety zones and removing 1 safety zone as desired in the NPRM. Vessels
intending to transit the designated waterway through the safety zone
will only be allowed to transit the area when the COTP, or a designated
representative, has deemed it safe to do so or at the completion of the
event.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget.
    The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this rule to be
minimal, and therefore a full regulatory evaluation is unnecessary.
This rule establishes safety zones limiting access to certain areas
under 33 CFR part 165 within Sector Ohio Valley's AOR. The effect of
this rulemaking will not be significant because these safety zones are
limited in scope and duration. Additionally, the public is given
advance notification through local forms of notice, the Federal
Register, and/or Notices of Enforcement and thus will be able to plan
around the safety zones in advance. Broadcast Notices to Mariners and
Local Notices to Mariners will also inform the community of these
safety zones. Vessel traffic may request permission from the COTP or a
designated representative to enter the restricted areas.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The

term ``small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000. The Coast Guard received 0 comments
from the Small Business Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast
Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator. Under section 213(a) of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want
to assist small entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would
affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction
and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy
or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that
this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or
cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This
rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2-1,
paragraph 34(g) of the Instruction because it involves the
establishment of safety zones. A Record of Environmental Consideration
(REC) is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.
