SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday May 29, 2008, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E
airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface at Kake, AK (73 FR
30825). The action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace
sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing instrument
procedures for the Kake Airport. Class E controlled airspace extending
upward from 700 ft. above the surface in the Kake Airport area is
revised by this action.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments were received. The rule is adopted as proposed.
    The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200
ft. transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15,
2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 revises Class E airspace at the
Kake Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to accommodate
aircraft executing new and amended instrument procedures, and will be
depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended
effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the Kake Airport, Kake,
Alaska.
    The FAA has 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 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 rule 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 1, 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 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it creates Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft
executing instrument procedures for the Kake Airport and represents the
FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable
airspace.

II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of October 23, 2017 (82 FR 49020) (FRL-
9967-37), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
7E8549) by IR-4, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 500
College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540. The petition
requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing tolerances
for residues of the herbicide florasulam N-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-8-
fluoro-5-methoxy (1,2,4)triazolo(1,5-c)pyrimidine-2-sulfonamide in or
on the raw agricultural commodities teff, forage at 0.05 parts per
million (ppm); teff, grain at 0.01 ppm; teff, straw at 0.05 ppm; and
teff, hay at 0.05 ppm. That document referenced a summary of the
petition prepared by Dow AgroSciences, the registrant, which is
available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. A comment was
received on the notice of filing. EPA's response to this comment is
discussed in Unit IV.C.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable
information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in
residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure.
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. . .
.''
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for florasulam including exposure
resulting from the tolerances established by this action. EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks associated with florasulam follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered
available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities
of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and
children.
    There was slight nephrotoxicity (increased kidney weights,
hypertrophy, and degeneration/regeneration and inflammation of the
descending portion of proximal tubules) observed in the kidneys of rats
(both sexes) after subchronic exposure to florasulam (90 days) at or
greater than 500 milligrams/kilogram/day (mg/kg/day). Chronic exposure
in rats led to slight nephrotoxicity (increased kidney weights,
hypertrophy, and slight multi-focal mineralization of the papilla) at
250 and 500 mg/kg/day in males only. Additionally, at 500 mg/kg/day,
papillary necrosis and hyperplasia of the transitional epithelium
(papilla) were observed in the kidney (males). Decreases in body weight
and body weight gain were also observed in females after subchronic
(500 mg/kg/day) and chronic exposure (250 mg/kg/day). Liver toxicity
was observed in dogs (both sexes) in the form of increased alkaline
phosphatase activity (59-127%), increased liver weights, hypertrophy,
and hepatic vacuolation at 50 mg/kg/day after 90 days. After 1 year,
there were increases in alkaline phosphatase (233-783%) in dogs (both
sexes) but no changes in liver weights or gross or microscopic
pathology at 50 mg/kg/day. Additionally, there were decreases in body
weight, body weight gain and food consumption, as well as vacuolation
of the zona reticularis and zona fasciculate in the adrenal gland
(consistent with fatty change) in both sexes. There were no adverse
effects noted after subchronic/chronic exposure to florasulam in mice
up to the limit dose of 1,000 mg/kg/day.
    There was no evidence of developmental toxicity or indications of

neonatal sensitivity in the developmental and reproduction toxicity
studies (rats and rabbits). In the rat developmental toxicity study,
decreased body weights and decreased food consumption were observed.
There were also slight decreases observed in fetal body weight and
delays in ossification observed in fetuses at the high dose. However,
the minor differences were not considered adverse since there was no
clear dose-response relationship and the values (both findings) fell
within historical control values. Furthermore, the findings were
attributed to the associated decreases in maternal body weights. There
were no treatment-related effects observed in dams or offspring in the
developmental toxicity study in rabbits. In the reproduction toxicity
study in rats, there were decreased body weights, body weight gains,
and food consumption, as well as increased kidney weights and
hypertrophy in both sexes at 500 mg/kg/day. Additionally, at 500 mg/kg/
day, transient decreases in pup body weights were observed on post-
natal day 4 pre-culling (F1 and F2 males) and post-natal day 7 (F1
females and F2 males and females); however, by post-natal day 21, all
treated groups were similar to controls. The decreases observed were
associated with decreased maternal body weight and food consumption and
were transient in nature; thus, they were not considered adverse.
    Dermal exposure to florasulam did not result in systemic toxicity
up to the limit dose of 1,000 mg/kg/day. There is no evidence of
neurotoxicity, mutagenicity, or carcinogenicity after exposure to
florasulam. In addition, there is no evidence of endocrine related
toxicity.
    Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the
adverse effects caused by florasulam as well as the no-observed-
adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-
level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in the document titled ``Florasulam: Human Health
Risk Assessment for proposed use on Turfgrass'' (``2009 Florasulam
Turfgrass Assessment'') on pages 35-39 in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2017-0226. The Agency is relying on this risk assessment because the
toxicological profile for florasulam has not changed since that risk
assessment was conducted and as indicated in a more recent assessment
for use on teff, the Agency has concluded that registering use on teff
would not alter the Agency's previously assessed exposure estimates for
florasulam. See ``Florasulam: Human Health Risk Assessment for Proposed
Use on Teff'' (Dec. 6, 2017) (``2017 Florasulam Teff Assessment''),
which can also be found in http://www.regulations.gov in docket ID
number EPA-HQ-OPP-2017-0226.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to
determine the dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL)
and the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified
(the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are used in conjunction with
the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--generally referred to as a
population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe
margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes
that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the
Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of
the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the
general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete
description of the risk assessment process, see http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/assessing-human-health-risk-pesticides.
    A summary of the toxicological endpoints for florasulam used for
human risk assessment is shown in Table 1 of this unit.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. EPA's most recent
quantitative dietary assessment was conducted in connection with the
registration of turfgrass uses for florasulam. See 2009 Florasulam
Turfgrass Assessment. That document considered dietary exposure for
residues of florasulam in food associated with the all existing
florasulam tolerances in 40 CFR 180.633 as described in Unit III.C.1.
of the 2007 rulemaking establishing those tolerances. 72 FR 55073
(Sept. 28, 2007). EPA has determined that approval of the use on teff
will not change those dietary exposure estimates for residues of
florasulam in or on food. The Agency expects residues on teff to be
similar to those residues in or on wheat because of the similarity in
use pattern and application rates. Teff is prepared like other whole
grains, such as rice and barley, and may also be used to make flour in
a manner similar to wheat and other cereal grains. As a flour, the
Agency expects that teff will likely substitute in the diet for cereal
grain foods rather than add to dietary exposure. With respect to
livestock commodities, residues of florasulam in teff livestock feeds
are expected to be similar to those in other forages, hays, and silages
for which florasulam is currently registered. Therefore, there would be
no increase in the livestock dietary burden should teff be substituted
in the livestock diet for other hays and silages; residues in meat,
milk, poultry and eggs will remain the same.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. In the 2009 Florasulam
Turfgrass Assessment, the Agency used screening-level water exposure
models in the dietary exposure analysis and risk assessment for
florasulam in drinking water. These simulation models take into account
data on the physical, chemical, and fate/transport characteristics of
florasulam. Further information regarding EPA drinking water models
used in pesticide exposure assessment can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/about-water-exposure-models-used-pesticide.
    To arrive at the total EDWC (estimated drinking water
concentrations), the maximum surface water and ground water values for
the parent was added to the maximum surface water and ground water
value for the major degradate. Based on the FQPA Index Reservoir
Screening Tool (FIRST), and Screening Concentration in Ground Water
(SCI-GROW) models, the estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs)
of florasulam use on turfgrass for chronic exposures are estimated to
be 1.36 parts per billion (ppb) for surface water and 0.06 ppb for
ground water.
    The Agency has concluded that the teff use will not increase
drinking water exposure estimates because the teff use pattern is
similar to the use patterns on wheat and barley. The wheat and barley
use patterns yield EDWCs that are approximately nine times lower than
the use on turfgrass and thus would not be used to assess dietary
exposure. Therefore, the Agency used the same modeled estimates of
drinking water concentrations from the 2009 Florasulam Turfgrass
Assessment: For the chronic dietary risk assessment, the water
concentration of value 1.36 ppb was used to assess the contribution to
drinking water.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control,
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets).
    Florasulam is currently registered for the following uses that
could result in residential exposures: Turf. The new use on teff is not
a residential use. Therefore, EPA is relying on its 2009 Florasulam
Turfgrass Assessment to assess residential exposures. EPA assessed
residential exposure using the following assumptions: Short-term
inhalation exposure is expected to handlers as a result of applying
florasulam to turf. There is no short-term dermal endpoint for
florasulam, and therefore, no dermal risks were assessed for
residential handlers. The scenarios assessed for handlers was mixing/
loading/applying florasulam to turf with various application equipment.
    For post-application, the Agency determined there is a potential
for exposure from entering florasulam-treated residential areas, such
as lawns, sports fields, and golf courses that could lead to post-
application exposures to adults and children. No short-term dermal
point of departure was identified for florasulam. Therefore, no dermal
risks were assessed for residential post-application exposures.
    The Agency assumed that inhalation exposures are minimal following
outdoor applications of an active ingredient with low vapor pressure.
Since the proposed use of florasulam include only outdoor applications
and florasulam has a low vapor pressure, post-application inhalation
exposures and risks were not assessed. The scenario resulting in the
highest exposure was short-term incidental oral risks for toddlers
after applications of florasulam to lawns. The exposure scenarios
include hand to mouth, object to mouth, incidental soil ingestion and
the combination of all three of these scenarios.
    Further information regarding EPA standard assumptions and generic
inputs for residential exposures may be found at http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/standard-operating-procedures-residential-pesticide.
    4. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when
considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the
Agency consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative
effects of a particular pesticide's residues and ``other

substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA has not found florasulam to share a common mechanism of
toxicity with any other substances, and florasulam does not appear to
produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the
purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that
florasulam does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which
chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the
cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's website at http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/cumulative-assessment-risk-pesticides.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA
shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants
and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal
and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the database on toxicity
and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a
different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This
additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the Food Quality
Protection Act Safety Factor (FQPA SF). In applying this provision, EPA
either retains the default value of 10X, or uses a different additional
safety factor when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of
a different factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There was no evidence of
developmental toxicity or indications of neonatal sensitivity in the
developmental and reproduction toxicity studies (rats and rabbits). In
the rat developmental toxicity study (750 mg/kg/day) body weights were
decreased by 4-6% during gestation days 6-19, resulting in a 16%
decrease in body weight gains during treatment (gestation days 6-16);
food consumption was also decreased (not statistically analyzed) by 6-
13% during the treatment period. Additionally, at this dose, absolute
and relative (to body weight) kidney weights were increased (p<= 0.05)
by 8 and 12%, respectively. At 250 and 750 mg/kg/day, slight decreases
(3-4%) were observed in fetal body weight. Additionally, there were
delays in ossification observed in fetuses at 750 mg/kg/day. However,
the minor differences were not considered adverse since there was no
clear dose-response and the values (both findings) fell within
historical control values. Furthermore, the findings were attributed to
the associated decreases in maternal body weights. There were no
treatment-related effects observed in dams or offspring in the
developmental toxicity study in rabbits. In the reproduction toxicity
study in rats, there were decreased body weights, body weight gains,
and food consumption, as well as increased kidney weights and
hypertrophy in both sexes at 500 mg/kg/day. Additionally, at 500 mg/kg/
day, transient decreases in pup body weights were observed on post-
natal day 4 pre-culling (F1 and F2 males) and post-natal day 7 (F1
females and F2 males and females); however, by post-natal day 21, all
treated groups were similar to controls. The decreases observed were
associated with decreased maternal body weight and food consumption and
were transient in nature; thus, they were not considered adverse
    3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show the
safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the
FQPA SF were reduced to 1x. That decision is based on the following
findings:
    i. The toxicity database for florasulam is complete.
    ii. There is no indication that florasulam is a neurotoxic chemical
and there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study or
additional UFs to account for neurotoxicity.
    iii. There is no evidence that florasulam results in increased
susceptibility in in utero rats or rabbits in the prenatal
developmental studies or in young rats in the 2-generation reproduction
study.
    iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure
databases. The dietary food exposure assessments were performed based
on 100 PCT and tolerance-level residues. EPA made conservative
(protective) assumptions in the ground and surface water modeling used
to assess exposure to florasulam in drinking water. EPA used similarly
conservative assumptions to assess post-application exposure of
children as well as incidental oral exposure of toddlers. These
assessments will not underestimate the exposure and risks posed by
florasulam.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    EPA determines whether acute and chronic dietary pesticide
exposures are safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the
acute PAD (aPAD) and chronic PAD (cPAD). For linear cancer risks, EPA
calculates the lifetime probability of acquiring cancer given the
estimated aggregate exposure. Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term
risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate food, water,
and residential exposure to the appropriate PODs to ensure that an
adequate MOE exists.
    1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into
account acute exposure estimates from dietary consumption of food and
drinking water. No adverse effect resulting from a single oral exposure
was identified and no acute dietary endpoint was selected. Therefore,
florasulam is not expected to pose an acute risk.
    2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to
florasulam from food and water will utilize less than 1% of the cPAD
for all population groups. Based on the explanation in Unit III.C.3.,
regarding residential use patterns, chronic residential exposure to
residues of florasulam is not expected.
    3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into
account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food
and water (considered to be a background exposure level).
    Florasulam is currently registered for uses that could result in
short-term residential exposure, and the Agency has determined that it
is appropriate to aggregate chronic exposure through food and water
with short-term residential exposures to florasulam.
    Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for short-
term exposures, EPA has concluded the combined short-term food, water,
and residential exposures result in aggregate MOEs of 14,000 for
children, 98,000 for the general U.S. population, and 114,000 for adult
females. Because EPA's level of concern for florasulam is a MOE of 100
or below, these MOEs are not of concern.
    4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure
takes into account intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic
exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure
level).
    An intermediate-term adverse effect was identified; however,
florasulam is not registered for any use patterns that would result in
intermediate-term residential exposure. Intermediate-term risk is
assessed based on intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic
dietary exposure. Because there is no intermediate-term residential
exposure and chronic dietary exposure has already been assessed under
the appropriately protective cPAD (which is at least as protective as
the POD used to assess intermediate-term risk), no further assessment
of intermediate-term

risk is necessary, and EPA relies on the chronic dietary risk
assessment for evaluating intermediate-term risk for florasulam.
    5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Based on the lack of
evidence of carcinogenicity in two adequate rodent carcinogenicity
studies, florasulam is not expected to pose a cancer risk to humans.
    6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the general population, or to infants and children from aggregate
exposure to florasulam residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology (capillary gas chromatography and
mass selective detection (GC-MSD)) is available to enforce the
tolerance expression.
    The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry
Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD
20755-5350; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address:
[email protected].

B. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food
standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for florasulam on teff.

C. Response to Comments

    A single comment was received that appeared to be in support of the
petition and read in part that ``the proposed regulation of pesticide
residuals is . . . a very reasonable proposal.'' The commenter also
expressed concern regarding the consequences for not meeting the
residue levels. The commenter's concern is outside the scope of this
rulemaking, which is concerned with assessing the safety of these
tolerances.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of florasulam,
including its metabolites and degradates, in or on teff, forage at 0.05
ppm; teff, grain at 0.01 ppm; teff, hay at 0.05 ppm; and teff, straw at
0.05 ppm.
    In addition, in accordance with Agency policy, EPA is revising the
introductory language in paragraph (a) to clarify (1) that, as provided
in FFDCA section 408(a)(3), the tolerance covers metabolites and
degradates of florasulam not specifically mentioned; and (2) that
compliance with the specified tolerance levels is to be determined by
measuring only the specific compounds mentioned in the tolerance
expression. EPA has determined that it is reasonable to make this
change final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because public comment is not necessary, in that the change has no
substantive effect on the tolerance, but rather is merely intended to
clarify the existing tolerance expression.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408(d) in
response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this action has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), nor is it considered a
regulatory action under Executive Order 13771, entitled ``Reducing
Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' (82 FR 9339, February 3,
2017). This action does not contain any information collections subject
to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), nor does it require any special considerations under
Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance in this
final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this
action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

ACTION REQUESTED:

	The Public comments for the proposed Crop Grouping Program Phase IV
have been received and were discussed at a meeting between HED, RD,
FEAD, and PMRA on March 4, 2015.  There were three comments that the
group wanted ChemSAC to review for the docket.  Phase IV includes the
following five crop groups:  Leafy vegetable crop group 4-16; Brassica
head and stem crop group 5-16; Stalk, stem, and leaf petiole crop group
22; Tropical and subtropical fruit, edible peel crop group 23; and
Tropical and subtropical fruit, inedible peel crop group 24.  Once these
comments have been reviewed by ChemSAC the Crop grouping workgroup will
prepare the final rule.

Public Comment:

1) The Crop Grouping Petition- Tropical and Subtropical Fruit, Edible
Peel, Group 23, Volume 1 of 2, page 14 (EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0766-0062)
proposed one crop definitions for guava that included many closely
related species and varieties. However in the ChemSAC Review of the
Analysis of the USDA IR-4 Crop Grouping Proposal to Establish a New Crop
Group 23 Tropical and Subtropical Fruit- Edible Peel
(EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0766-0062), this definition was recommended as not
necessary since guava is one of the proposed representative commodities
for crop subgroup 23B. However, IR-4 believes that this definition is
necessary because both fig and guava are required as representative
commodities for Crop Subgroup 23B and all of the related guava varieties
and subspecies would not be covered except with a subgroup tolerance.

HED Response:

EPA proposes to include this definition in 40CFR §180.1(g).  The
original IR-4 petition requested a guava definition since there are
several types of guava that can be grown.  Originally ChemSAC did not
think a definition was needed since guava would be one of the
representative crops.  Also the guava varieties and species are listed
in the crop group.  However, based on public comments, we are aware that
a guava definition is necessary because both fig and guava are required
as representative commodities for Crop Subgroup 23B and all of the
related guava varieties and subspecies would not be covered except with
a subgroup tolerance.  We recommend ChemSAC approve the following:

Commodity definition for Guava

This is the guava commodity definition {40CFR180.1(g)] for the
regulation that includes many of the closely related genus (Psidium
spp.), species and varieties.

A	B

Guava	Guava (Psidium guajava L.);  Guava, Para (Psidium acutangulum
DC.);  Guava, Brazilian (Psidium guineense Sw.); Guava, cattley (Psidium
cattleianum Sabine); Guava, Costa Rican (Psidium friedrichsthalianum (O.
Berg) Nied.); Guava, purple strawberry (Psidium cattleianum Sabine var.
cattleianum);  Guava, strawberry (Psidium cattleianum Sabine var.
littorale (Raddi) Fosberg); Guava, yellow strawberry; (Psidium
cattleianum Sabine var. cattleianum forma lucidum O. Deg.); Guayabillo
(Psidium sartorianum (O. Berg) Nied.)

Public Comment (2):

2) The National Pesticide Coordinator, Plant Protection and Quarantine,
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, United States Department of
Agriculture notified IR-4 after submission of The Crop Grouping Petition
- Tropical and Subtropical Fruit, Edible Peel, Group 23 of a tropical
fruit, Achachairu (Garcinia gardneriana (Planch. & Triana) Zappi), that
is now being grown in Puerto Rico and shipped to the U.S. This commodity
is similar to mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) but it has an edible
peel.  1t would be appropriate to include Achachairu (Garcinia
gardneriana (Planch. & Triana) Zappi) in the Tropical and Subtropical
Fruit, Medium to large fruit, edible peel subgroup 23B.

HED Response:

	We agree that Achachairu should be a member of the Tropical and
Subtropical Fruit, Edible Peel, Group 23 and in the Tropical and
Subtropical fruit, Medium to large fruit, smooth, edible peel subgroup
23B.  As USDA APHIS indicates it is already being legally imported into
the U.S. and being a member of the crop group will help avoid tolerance
and import issues with this crop.  IR-4 also recommends including it as
a member of the edible peel tropical and subtropical fruit crop group
since it has an edible peel and is grown in Puerto Rico.

Public Comment (3):

3)	Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.)  EPA proposed including longan in
Crop Subgroup 24C (Medium to large fruit, rough or hairy, inedible peel
subgroup).  Instead, longan should be included in Crop Subgroup 24A
(Small fruit, inedible peel subgroup).  Longan is similar to lychee, the
proposed representative commodity for Subgroup 24A. The fruit is similar
in size to lychee (usually slightly smaller), and the peel is sandpapery
but slightly smoother than lychee. Longan is definitely not as large as
fruit from the Annonaceae family, e.g., atemoya, cherimoya, soursop, and
sugar apple; nor pineapple, breadfruit, durian and jackfruit

HED Response:

After reviewing the data from USDA IR-4, Hawaii, and Florida Extension
Service, we agree to move longan from the Crop Subgroup 24C (Medium to
large fruit, rough or hairy, inedible peel subgroup) to the Crop
Subgroup 24A (Small fruit, inedible peel subgroup).  Lychee is the
representative commodity for this subgroup.

Other public comments involved subgroup terminology changes for the
tropical’s as well as some very favorable comments for this
regulation.  These can be found at

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31358; Amdt. No. 3946]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective March 5, 2021. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of March 5, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending
the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP
is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the
need for a special format make their verbatim publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction
on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the
advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication
of the complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form
documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections, and specifies the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with
their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the
airport and its location, the procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.

    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on criteria
contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures
(TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has 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 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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
